Think of it as a live action comic book each week with over the top storylines and personalities with good guys and bad guys with huge muscles and bright costumes who solve their dispute through violence
WrestleZone said:Major Rumored Spoilers For No Way Out Tonight
02/17/2008 by Ryan Clark![]()
Tonight, WWE presents their final Pay-Per-View before WrestleMania XXIV - NO WAY OUT 2008. With 3 title matches, 2 Elimination Chambers and what could be Ric Flair's final match, this is sure to be a huge night for WWE fans. Based on various reports from a number of reliable sources, here's a look at what to expect tonight:
While WrestleMania XXIV will likely be Ric Flair's final match, there is still a chance Mr. Kennedy could defeat Flair tonight to end his career. A possible scenario that's been reported is that Ric Flair would lose tonight to Kennedy and then come back in a few weeks to beg Mr. McMahon for a chance to have his real last match take place on the big stage of WrestleMania. This one could go either way.
As we reported earlier, Rey Mysterio's health is still up in the air. Last week he injured his right bicep muscle and underwent testing to determine whether the muscle is torn. A tear would require surgery and keep him out of action for up to 6 months. If the injury is less severe than a tear, he could be healthy much sooner than that. Either way, we can confirm that an injury angle has been discussed this weekend within WWE to give Rey time off to recover. Look for Edge to retain the gold tonight.
With Edge expecting to retain the World Heavyweight Title, look for The Undertaker to win the SmackDown/ECW Elimination Chamber match to earn a title shot at WrestleMania. WWE has been planning Edge vs. The Undertaker for quite some time and the Rated R Superstar's title vs. the Phenom's WrestleMania winning streak will make for one hell of a draw.
The most likely main event for WrestleMania will be John Cena vs. Randy Orton vs. Triple H for the WWE Championship. Triple H should win the RAW Elimination Chamber match tonight, securing his WWE title shot at WrestleMania. Tonight's Orton vs. Cena match could go either way, but don't be surprised to see a controversial finish where the loser of that match and Triple H will both claim they are the #1 contenders for the title next month.
WrestleZone said:Kurt Angle Loses IWGP Title, Destination X Update, Toys
02/17/2008 by Ryan Clark
Kurt Angle lost his version of the IWGP title last night in Japan when he was defeated by Shinsuke Nakamura. Angle won the title when he defeated Brock Lesnar on an IGF show back in June of 2007.
Marvel Toys has cancelled their only other toy line The Legendary Comic Book Heroes so there is a good chance that the TNA line could be done as well. This means we may not get anymore TNA action figures until Jakks takes over in 2010.
Ticket sales for Destination X in Norfolk, VA seem to be a bit better then sales were for Against All Odds. According to Ticketmaster.com rows 1-5 are already sold out. On the day of Against All Odds 2nd row was still available.
There are the characters, some of which you find interesting and compelling depending on how good the performer sells it. There are the storylines that can be fun and interesting. Then there's the athletics behind. Granted, it is pre-determined and scripted, but quite a bit what you see does hurt. Men do train to learn to take bumps, fall, and even get hit for real at times. There is a bit of an art to it, to make what's not real appear to be real. Wrestlers are like stuntmen, except they don't get to do more than one take.
I like the way you put it best Lobo.![]()
Can I ask you guys something and I don't mean to be a smart ass, I'm just curious.
Why do you watch wrestling? I mean, what is fun about watching a scripted sporting event in which the results are pre-determined, that focuses on guys in spandex, covered in grease, having stupid gimmicks like an irish midget or a zombie FAKING to beat one another up?
WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match
Edge (c) vs. Rey Mysterio
Sadly this will be similar to the HBK/Orton match at Judgement Day, Edge wins obviously.
.
I think the match was to unify Angle's title with New Japan's top title, which Nakamura currently has.Heh, so Kurt FINALLY dropped that strap and I think Nakamura was quite possibly the best possible choice, the man's amazing to watch.
Yeah, the stupid gimmicks make up the majority of professional wrestling in its entirety. Or maybe I'm forgetting the time Nick Bockwinkel wrestled Verne Gange...yeah they were dressed up as a spaceman and a cowboy, respectively. How silly of me to forget.Can I ask you guys something and I don't mean to be a smart ass, I'm just curious.

Well, you said it better than I did.There are the characters, some of which you find interesting and compelling depending on how good the performer sells it. There are the storylines that can be fun and interesting. Then there's the athletics behind. Granted, it is pre-determined and scripted, but quite a bit what you see does hurt.
