The Wrestling Thread Dated a girl named Katie...And it didn't end well. - Part 73

- Former World Heavyweight Champion Vader is now on Facebook at facebook.com/BigVanVaderLeonWhite. He is taking as many bookings as he can with matches, signings and conventions. They noted on the page that he continues to train almost everyday and this December will be celebrating 25 years of wrestling in Japan. Vader has several US independent wrestling appearances booked this year and it was noted that his Mastadon mask just arrived from Japan so he will be wearing it during those US appearances.

- WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz will do commentary for this week's episode of Saturday Morning Slam with Josh Mathews, at least during the Santino Marella vs. Heath Slater match. Santino returned to commentary after his match. It's interesting that WWE put Miz back on commentary because there was a negative reaction to his commentary work at RAW on Monday.

- We noted recently that boxer Floyd Mayweather said during a Hot 97 interview that he would be returning to WWE at next year's WrestleMania 29 pay-per-view in New Jersey. A WWE source reports that Mayweather wasn't just running his mouth as officials have reached out to him, Mr. T, Pete Rose, Jenny McCarthy and other former WrestleMania celebrities about appearing next year.

- There is speculation about Christian's WWE status after he hasn't appeared on RAW and SmackDown in a few weeks. Christian was scheduled to feud with United States Champion Antonio Cesaro but word is that WWE officials want to keep Christian off TV until after TNA's Bound For Glory pay-per-view in October.

Christian is scheduled to appear during Bound For Glory weekend and induct Sting into TNA's Hall of Fame. This is part of the deal between WWE and TNA that allowed Ric Flair to appear at the WWE Hall of Fame earlier this year.

While there is no heat on Christian because he didn't choose to appear for TNA, WWE officials don't want him appearing for them while he's in the middle of a title feud on their programming. Expect him to feud with Cesaro later this year unless things change.

huh ? maybe it's just me but i thought miz was great on commentary

Me too. I think maybe it was confusing to people to have Cole unable to decide whether he was suddenly a heel, face or neutral play-by-play guy.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

I was worried about Christian's absence.

I don't mind him working to help the younger guys get over, as long as he gets a good amount of time and his character gets respect.

Hopefully he can work with Punk somewhere in the future.

 

[Pink Ranger]

The Peep Show needs to be brought back on a more regular basis, for one thing. When he isn't being a wiseass, a lot of his appeal is gone.

 

[Benstamania]

I don't think Christian plays a very good face at all... I mean, like you said maybe if he would be allowed to be a wiseass face he could get something going but nine times out of ten I'd prefer Christian as a heel.

I don't think Christian has the ablity to play the face. He's one hell of wrestler but he just seems a natural heel. He is loved for his in ring ability more than the reasons people love Cena (or used to)

 

[TX85]

Netflix has new updated WWE videos to stream IF anyone is interested,3 ECW dvds including the new ECW Unleashed one and the Falls Count Anywhere dvd!!

 

[Karelia]

So... I found this commercial... Love it. Hahaha.

This is the only wrestling belt I'd want to get.

If anybody has one that they'd like to sell (adult size), PM me.

He did good for two years before WWE cut his legs out from underneath him out of favor for Blandy Orton.

Nice.

And I like Triple H's new haircut.

 

[NDX]

First, that's just wrong looking.

Second, you avatar is perfect for that post.

 

[The Sage]

First Taker, now Triple H.

This is truly going to be an adjustment.

- Two people close to Steve Austin say that he has no great desire to do another match and that he was comfortable when he left. Austin won't do another match unless he can perform at the level he was at because he doesn't want to short-cut his way through or work an old man style match.

- It's said that CM Punk was happy to go heel. The story is that Punk realized he was never going to surpass John Cena as the #1 babyface but the #1 heel slot has been wide open.

On a related note, Randy Orton has made it clear he wants to be a heel and can perform as a top heel. The problem with that is WWE won't turn him until they are fully confident in Sheamus drawing as the top babyface on the SmackDown side.

Shortcut his way through, an old man style match. Now who's been doing that?
