The Wrestling Thread got interviewed by Sean Mooney

[Anno_Domini]

If anymore gets put over by Rock, it's Cena, the only one who truly matters in WWE,

Agree.

It only makes sense for Cena to beat Rock this time around with Cena losing at WM 28.

 

[Wheels]

Edit: Read it wrong.

No way. Punk will not be booked to go over The Rock, especially when the man who's main evented every PPV this year hasn't gone over him.

I love wrestling but I'm not going to put faith in WWE when they don't put faith in anyone but John Cena and past stars.

 

[Anno_Domini]

Lol, dude, I read it wrong. For some reason I thought you said Cena shouldn't be put over.

 

[DBryan]

My 2 cents on Bryan, Rock, and Sheen.

I'm fine with the Bryan, Punk, and Rock segment. Quite frankly, a year ago they wouldn't have put Bryan in the same ring as Rock. I didn't see it as being 'buried', Rock has dumped on Cena much worse, he's rock bottomed people like Hulk Hogan in promo segments. It actually helps Bryan, I think.

However, I hope they don't do a Bryan vs Charlie Sheen angle. I do not see how it could help Bryan. These celebrity angles only go one way - with the celebrity getting over on the wrestler. And Sheen is unstable, and his 'heat' from a year or two ago. It's not gonna get the WWE much publicity, and it will make Bryan look weak.

 

[Nightmare]

Agree.

Kinda predictable don't you think? I'd rather see rock face so many others at the big stage. Why cena again?

 

[Wheels]

Cena should have been put over this year, but we're going to get it AGAIN at WrestleMania 29 I'm guessing.

Yay......

Cena should have been put over last year, but we're going to get it AGAIN at WrestleMania 29 I'm guessing.

Yay......

Yah, I get it; it doesn't make sense for us to see Rock/Cena again at WrestleMania 29, but with Cena losing in the last WM, it only makes sense really. Plus, if Punk is a heel, then it makes sense for Rock to win at RR if that's the case.

 

[Darkness Falls]

anyone else mark out when dude love came out on raw
i know i did

 

[Soapy]

Once in a lifetime.

Once in a lifetime.

I agree but it is soooooo boring. I hope Punk vs Austin happens, because that's the only silver lining in regards to Punk turning heel. Punk vs Austin would make Cena vs Rock II easier to swallow.

 

[Metallo]

Yeah looks like the plan is to do Rock vs Cena again at Mania with Rock possibly winning the title at the Rumble and defending it against Cena at Mania. its so f***ing stupid. Stretching out a program that should have ended with Cena winning THIS year and taking up another main event spot that someone else could have had at 29.

Punk gets fed to Rock all so they can do what they should have done at 28? How will Punk's turn be a huge angle unless they book him strong? I doubt they will. That means going over every top name they've got right now...clean or semi clean at least half the time. That won't happen.

If we do see Rock vs Cena II there's no way Austin would wrestling Punk and play second fiddle in his return match.

 

[Darkness Falls]

not a fan of the rock/cena II match
i'd much prefer rock vs brock II or punk vs austin in that spot

[Pink Ranger]

I don't think we'll ever see a divas feud like Trish and Lita ever again.

This could come close to it, if they know how to do it right.

[Hunter Rider]

has it been confirmed that the Night of Champions poster is fake?

As for Rock vs Cena II? The first match wasn't very good, they have zero chemistry, but the one thing it had was unpredictability over who would win, this time it wont even have that.

 

[Superark]

Looks like many of us were right about Cena facing Rock at Mania this year. Oh WWE

As for Kharma/Kong, I'm not at all surprised. She did not do herself any favors getting pregnant right after getting hired and a big push, and then she's difficult to work with when she comes back. There were reports years ago before she left TNA that she was difficult backstage so I am not shocked at all. I always felt it was a matter of time before she was let go.

-For months there have been rumors on a big angle planned this summer for WWE. Reportedly they wanted something to grab attention like CM Punk's speech last summer or the Nexus angle of two years ago

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting CM Punk's turn on the 1,000th episode of Raw was the start of this summers big angle.

-The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting the current plan is to have The Rock win the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble in January of 2013.

He then would go on to defend it against John Cena as one of the main events for WrestleMania 29.

-The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting Kharma was recently training in Florida to prepare for her WWE return.

Reportedly there was knock on her from company officials for being out of shape and difficult to work with. The report when on to say she was very stubborn to deal with when ideas for her character would be pitched.

 

[Hunter Rider]

^^^^^ *click* There goes the grenade.

That Punk NOC poster is real for what it's worth.

 

[Superark]

BTW...

Hunter and Metallo, I have not forgotten about our off topic best comic book character performances discussion. I have been under the weather this week so I haven't taken the time to write any detailed list yet.

Expect a PM in the next day or two

Other reports are saying she wasn't responding well to how WWE wanted to CHANGE her character...which makes sense. Her character didn't NEED changing. She was more over than any other women at the time she made her debut. As far as beig hard to work with lets keep in context that this is McMahonland. She's got an attitude problem or she used to but in this instance I'd wait for more stories/rumors/whatever.

As far as her weight it doesn't makes sense. If she was losing weight that means she was getting in better shape so whats the issue? Do they mean RING shape or physique? Those are two different things IF she was in RING shape her looks should have been the last thing that was at issue.

This is WWE and Vince McMahon we are talking about here so "shape" could mean any number of things. He may have wanted her to get more muscular...which would be stupid. If he wanted her to improve her conditioning and in ring cardio I can understant that.

More on Kharma's WWE Departure, FCW Name Changes, Kelly's Status, Harley Race

- WWE Hall of Famer Harley Race was backstage for RAW 1000 but not used.

- Derek Foore, the 2010 NAIA national wrestling champion at 197 lbs from Notre Dame, is now using the ring name Chad Baxter in WWE developmental. Foore has a resemblance to a young Kurt Angle and was signed by Gerald Brisco. Marcus Anthony, a large bodybuilder type from OVW, is using the name Lincoln Broderick.

- We noted before that Kelly Kelly was set to be brought back for RAW 1000 but did not appear on TV. As of this past weekend, she had not informed WWE of a time when she was going to come back or any future plans asking for more time off. Some people in the company even thought this would be her return full-time but that was never the plan.

- Word on Kharma's WWE departure is that she had been in Florida training for her return to action but got the knock for being out of shape, hard to work with and stubborn about suggestions of how they wanted to change her character. She had been losing weight since we last saw her.

When Brodus was introducing his "brother from another mother' at Raw 1,000 was I the only one hoping for Flash Funk?

Rock vs. Cena II at Wrestlemania 29:

^^^^^ *click* There goes the grenade.

That Punk NOC poster is real for what it's worth.

God forbid Punk takes on Rock...as a face. Can't have him really making the Rock look bad. This ain't like Cena where the other guy is a star whose act is wearing thin and splitting the crowd. Punk could keep a large portion of that crowd on his and tear the Rock to pieces. And I don't mean with catchphrases but with actual points.

Punks probably going to be little more than a means to an end. If he was booked as a strong heel it would be different but the only guys with any REAL credibility as top foes (Cena, HHH, Rock, Taker) won't be losing to Punk much if at all. Cena MIGHT. Lesar MIGHT. The others? Forget it.

 

[Herolee10]

I guess the only way that Cena will miss Wrestlemania is if he gets injured and thus unable to compete in time.
