The Grits Gonna Hit The Wrestling Thread! - Part 22

I would be cool with Flair coming back to WWE as long as he shows some effort. If Ric Flair has a fire lit under him we could see someone get owned on the mic.

That would be awesome.

 

[The Batman]

I'm sorry, but...did someone get angry at orton a few pages back...because Orton said he didnt catch punks recent promos???

If they did that's stupid, because guys like HBK have said they don't watch the shows that much, and that's when he was active.

 

[Metallo]

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.

I'll take Melina. Just get me a bottle of bleach first.

I wouldn't mind seeing Flair manage Ziggler...only don't make him Flair Jr like they tried to foolishly do with Styles.

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.

I enjoyed Flair as Co owner so why not. I think you're right about the GM thing. If they dropped it right now I doubt anyone would care. They've dragged it on too long to the point that some have lost interest.

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

I read a rumor that it was a steroid violation but...who knows. He'll be back. They made too big a deal out of signing him...even though after he never really moved up or had any notable feuds. Its like WWE signed him to do cool flippy moves but weren't really sure how to utilize him after his feud with Chavo crapped out.

Randy will drop a viper crap in his bag. Then he'll uncoil a load into my bag for making this joke.

 

[Project862006]

when morrison returns he needs to turn it up a bit hbk said it best when describing morrison

he said he is a sweetheart and such a nice guy and that is his problem he is too nice he does'nt give off that edge, might let people walk over him or wont speak up to avoid an argument.

a more aggressive hands on Morrison would be welcome

This. Orton was world champion for most of this month, was on the road most of the week doing matches and/or promotional work, and has very few time to see his family. I'm sure he's sorry he cant watch punk's every move and gush over him like us IWC fans.

Randy will drop a viper crap in his bag. Then he'll uncoil a load into my bag for making this joke.

Maybe he'll put some lotion in there too.

The fact that he let Batista boink his girl, then gets back with said girl, and allows said girl to get into his head and mess up a WM angle with the most respected wwe diva pretty much proves HBK right.

 

[Heretic]

Morrison seemed comfortable in his Shaman Of Sexy gimmick. It was a cocky heel, but also enigmatic. You could go back to that, and slowly turn him into more of an HBK cocky heel if you felt like it...

To be fair in this day in age if you piss someone off by speaking up you might go on a losing streak, job to a midget or get buried by someone hhhigher up.

On the other hand the talent don't have much to lose since most of them are going nowhere and will be future endeavored eventually anyway. and maybe its good for some of these guys to say f*** it to this cult mentality WWE tries to drill into its talent. In this day in age its not exactly the place to be like it used to be. That applies to the industry as a whole. other opportunities might be out there.

When you have guys like Rock and Taker saying that if MMA was popular when they were young they would have done that...it doesn't reflect to well on wrestling vs its indirect competition these days.

Good points there, especially on mma. Lesnar left WWE, and look where he is now...one of the biggest names in sports, getting more cash for less strenuous travel, politics, and BS.

Morrison's biggest flaw is that he's not as strong on the mic. He can definitely bring aggression in the ring, that's not a problem.

Yes I did... but it's not stupid. It's not the only reason I got annoyed with him though... Just added more fuel to my fire. Orton is a complete *****e to anyone that isn't... Well, him. The whole CM Punk thing is only the biggest thing in wrestling in a long while to the point where it's being shown OUTSIDE of WWE TV and he said he didn't see or hear anything about it? Right.

Punk himself admitted to not getting along very well with Orton... no shocker there... So, of course Orton hasn't "paid attention" to whats going on with Punk..

He was the world champ of the "B" show because he'll never be top dog on Raw or the "face" of the company. Once he became champ SmackDown ratings dropped... Not a shocker, he's Cena 2.0 on the show. Once CM Punk full returns I wouldn't be shocked if he becomes the #1 face of the company... Cena will probably still hang in there and be his Rock to Punks Stone Cold.

...Orton will be shifted to #3.... and I'm sure he'll throw a fit or poop in someones bag for it.

I hope WWE paid attention to what happened with the crowd last night regarding Orton. If they let him go back to that crazed sociopathic tweener he'd be more over. Only women seem to enjoy the cheerleder celebration version of Orton. Every time they turn this guy they completely go away from what made him popular in the first place.

Waltman clears up his statement from last night...


Many thought he was saying that it was a shoot, and that HHH was taking over. Today he clarified his comments with the following…

"To clarify my tweet last night. Raw last night was real on a symbolic level.

Im going to post a video explaining my thoughts on RAW and my twitter comments."

 

[X Knight]

I'm just glad that whole guest RAW GM thing seems to be over.........it is, isn't it?

 

[Benstamania]

Bushwacker Randy

Ha! I said that last night.

I agree. I do NOT like Orton as a person... He may not be spitting on fans anymore, or pooping in peoples gym bags... but the dude still comes off as a complete prick that's extremely full of himself.

However, I like Randy Orton... The character, when he's a heel. Sadly every time people cheer his actions the WWE takes that as a sign to completely change his character around and make him a goody two shoes... So then people start to hate him again... Outside of women.

With Trips as an on air authority figure... Hopefully.

Anderson doesn't want to be wrestling 5 years from now....

Q Guys like Ric Flair have had careers for decades now. How long would you like to keep at it?

A If I’m still doing this five years from now, please, just shoot me. I love the wrestling business, I love entertaining people, but it doesn’t define me. And for people who are defined by this, that’s fine. I don’t judge them or look down on them, but it’s not for me. After 13 years of taking abuse I have aches and pains, and my wife calls me the old man a lot — more than I would like for her to call me. But I know that I can’t do this forever.

Q What would you like to do in the future?
A “E.T.” was the first movie I ever saw in the theater, and I remember looking at my mom and asking, “How does somebody do that? I want to be Elliott.” It just so happens to be that I live in the greatest country in the world where you can do anything you want. And if you want to be an actor and you work hard at it, you can do that. I’d like to transition into movies, TV, maybe some behind-the-scenes stuff here at TNA, or as a commentator.

Eventually, my plan is to move to Wyoming on a big place of land and hunt, and fish, and spend time with my family and travel, and do some charity work.

I think that you can kind of tell Anderson doesn't LOVE the business like say.. Cena.

Not quite. He needs to do the walk.

Yeah that's true, but for the record is that something that should be held against him?

 

[Dr. Evil]

Michael McGuillicutty isn't that bad a ring name there have been plenty of wrestlers with far worst ones.

It's not bad if it was a random wrestler, but this is the son of Curt Hennig. If the WWE won't give him the name Hennig, at least give him his mother's maiden name, which from what I can remember is not McGuillicuty. That was stupid for the WWE to do that and to Husky Harris, who is the son of Mike Rotunda and the nephew of Barry Windham.

It was stupid and ******ed. Having said that, I'd expect the WWE to call up Richie Steamboat, acknowledge he's the son of Ricky Steamboat and name him Arthur Yacht.

 

[Wylie Times]

Yeah that's true, but for the record is that something that should be held against him?

Nope.

I actually prefer when guys have the mentality that they love wrestling but don't want to be defined by it.

Guys who have nothing in their life but wrestling are the ones who hang on for WAY too long, end up broken down, or in some cases end up dead.

I want to see MORE guys know when it's time to hang it up and go about doing other things with their lives before it's too late.
