The Grits Gonna Hit The Wrestling Thread! - Part 22

Mistico/Sin Cara is gone now?WTF!?He shouldn't had to fail the drug-wellness and it's bad that he did But after all they went through for&with him.....There releasing him after just a first suspension?

Certainly seems extreme. I dont think they should release him for that.

Where did you hear that??

 

[Benstamania]

I've said before that I HATE Twitter type... but I'm 100% convinced that Snitsky actually talks and spells like that outside of Twitter. Dude probably signs his checks with a crayon.

 

[Metallo]

This is my suggestion, from now on we refer to the real life John Cena as Juan Cena the XIV and the in ring character as John Cena or Captain Asshat.

I always liked to think of Cena's character as Corporate Creation the 1st while Orton would be Randus Nopantsus.

Some people have turned that into an art form

Haha, I seriously wonder when I see Orton had a sit down interview with whoever or spoke on the whatever radio station if the dude's wearing pants.

He's NEVER in them and it freaks me out. My wife, who barely watches wrestling (by barely I mean never) came in the room when I was watching back when Legacy was still together. She said "Does that guy NEVER wear pants? I don't even watch wrestling but whenever I see him he's never wearing anything but his wrestling booty shorts."

Steele only played dumb. He at least has actual smarts to fall back on.

 

[Metallo]

Maybe no pants allows Randy to crap in a bag more easily?

yeah but he did it so well. Snitsky certainly seemed to be his spiritual successor for a while. Except he wasn't nearly as awesome.

Some were asking (at WrestleZone)if we'd ever see Flair back in the WWE since he's obviously not going to be around in TNA much longer.

Since I don't post there I figured I'd post my reply (and the same question) here. I don't know if I really want him coming back. He's a Legend and he's done a LOT for the business as a whole... But if he's going to be the diva he was in TNA he can just stay at home... or at the very least sign a simple Legends contract and never appear on TV again. However, I think if he DID come back Triple H/Vince would manage to keep him from being such diva. We all know Triple H LOVES Flair, he's seriously his idol. If what Xpac said is true (I somehow doubt it) and Triple H is indeed in charge (again... I doubt he actually is) I wouldn't be shocked to see Flair on WWE TV in some way.

Sadly, I believe Flair has tarnished his legacy to the point of no return... I mean, at one time he WAS the greatest in the world... now he's reduced himself to flip flopping, elbow drops, slaps, woo's and gushing blood like he has a "peel here to bleed" sticker on his forehead. Don't get me wrong, at Flair's age I don't expect him to do much... but he seems to insist on doing it. The only way he could redeem it is by giving back to the new generation of wrestlers. Desire LESS of the spotlight on him and more of the spotlight on the younger guys.

Before all this with Punk/Vince/Cena/Triple H started I would have said he could have been the perfect Raw GM... but now that Triple H will, I'm sure, be a constant on air authority figure they'll pretty much phase the GM out of existence. Whatever it is IF he returns to the WWE I seriously hope that it's not as a wrestler.. I NEVER want to see Flair wrestle again... but I think he'd be the PERFECT manager for John Morrison and also the much needed mouthpiece.

I said that doing the "new Flair" would have worked much better with a guy like Morrison than a guy like AJ Styles anyway...

So.. anyone have thoughts on that? Will we ever see Flair in the WWE again? Did he burn his bridge? Or... after TNA will he just be a washed up old man trying to stay famous?

Morrison would be an epic fail with a gimmick like that. It's not that far off from his current gimmick.

 

[LOBO3315a]

Flair retired from WWE wrestling. He should never step foot in the ring as a wrestler again. If he came back, I wouldn't hate him as Morrison's manager, though.

 

[venom892]

he could come back a manager but never a wrestler.

 

[The Sage]

Thinking about it, I wonder if they'll send Sin Cara to FCW instead of totally cutting him loose.

 

[Metallo]

Flair should be a manager where ever he is. There are plenty of guys who can't talk and thats something he can still do well.

I think he will be back in WWE at some point (HHH probably still wishes he was an in his prime Ric Flair in some ways) since so many people there are fans. HHH will put a good word in for him adn so will HBK. And deep down Flair is in some ways still one of Vince's ideal stars.

But after the last few years I've lost a lot of respect for him. He's always been a certain way but not he's gone beyond his carefree image and is a totally irresponsible 60 + year old man who throws fits and can't commit (to a job or a wife). I've gotten rather tired of the drama that is Ric Flair. Can't even laugh at his outside of the biz antics anymore.

 

[Benstamania]

Thing is... Morrison wouldn't have to change himself INTO Flair like TNA tried to do with AJ... He could just be Morrison only more cocky. I want to like Morrison, dude has great ability but his mic work is SO horrible that it's hard to even joke about.

Dude also needs to get the heck away from Melina.

Haha, nah. Snitsky was at the Philly Comic-Con last year and he speaks surprisingly well. Talked to me for a while too, prob b/c I was like the only person there who knew who he was

As far as I know, Money In The Bank 2011 isn't scheduled for Blu-Ray, but if you'd like to request for it (along with future good shows with preferably the DVD version also included) to be released on the format, send your feedback here - https://secure.wwe.com/forms/help/show.php

I pretty much feel the same way. I believe that Flair will be back one way or another (due to Trips and like you said, HBK) but I've lost a LOT of respect for him.

I believe Flair acts the way he's been acting lately is because he feels he's bigger than TNA is... And, in a way, he is but they're still his current employer and that doesn't excuse him for acting the way he's been acting.

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

it may sound daft but it hasn't come out what they caught sin cara with, if ti is something hardcore, this whole minor violation may be away to just keep it all under the rug

 

[Project862006]

should of done that in the first place

and they were surprise he did'nt adapt to wwe style lol

The problem is that's a gimmick that really only works when the wrestler speaks for himself. You can get away with a having a manger hype him up for a bit but at some point that guy has to hype himself up as being the best thing going. Morrison just lacks something I can't put my finger on when it comes to cutting promos. Sometimes he's just downright bad but other times it's just off in some weird way.

 

[Wylie Times]

I HIGHLY doubt they're not going to bring Sin Cara back. They've already invested a lot of money into him and it's too soon to just cut him loose completely.

Seeing as how nobody gives a flying **** who the general manager is, maybe Triple H can fire him/her/it and have Flair take their place.

^True.
