The Wrestling Thread has diagrams. DIAGRAMS!

Randy Orton was in OVW during 2001 , so it almost makes sense.

I should have also said that the image is from 2000 a year before Orton was in the OVW.

So que The Twilight Zone theme.

What is your opinion on whats going on with the Cena/Ryback feud?

Why would they bring up Cena being injured and have him still wrestle? If he was feuding with anyone else I would say it shows that he can overcome the odds but I thought Ryback is suppose to be a new big star in the company? If Super-Cena wins at ER with a "hurt" ankle then it makes Ryback look weaker in the end

Do you think that Ryback wins at ER with the ankle being the factor as to why Cena lost?

I'd be surprised if Cena drops the title so soon. Unless the injury is seriously legit, I think we're in for a long Cena reign (which doesn't really do Ryback any favours). Cena dropping the strap only a month after WM would make zero sense given how his victory was built (overcoming "impossible" odds and 2013 being the year of Cena).

 

[Pink Ranger]

Cena needs to have a fairly substantial title reign. I'm not his biggest fan, but he's basically the Optimus Prime of the WWE right now, so he can't keep losing battles all the time to keep all the smarky Soundwave fans happy.

If Cena keeps the title for several months, then the person who takes it off of him is going to mean that much more. I don't think it's a good idea for him to break Punk's streak though. Those two need to be on equal terms: Cena will always have more wins, whereas Punk will have the longest reign, and that's the way it should be.

Fandango should have been given the Alex Wright gimmick than Disco Inferno's!

- The steel cage match with Brock Lesnar and Triple H has been planned all along, even before WrestleMania 29, but it was moved up to Extreme Rules because of CM Punk taking time off. The match may have been planned for SummerSlam or a later pay-per-view.

- There has been a lot of head-scratching over the way Antonio Cesaro has been booked lately, from a series of losses to dropping the United States Title after previously being booked strong.

It's said that Cesaro has not done anything to be in WWE's doghouse and isn't considered to be. Cesaro's booking was explained by a source as just the way WWE creative and production changes from week to week these days. WWE officials really are going back and forth from week to week on who they want to push and who they don't want to push.

- There is said to be a strong disconnect between The Rock and WWE right now, although no side will admit it publicly.

Some people within WWE feel that The Rock didn't do right by the company with his most recent a run. With that said, a source adds that there will always be people in WWE saying those kinds of things about The Rock.

Regarding the disconnect between Rock and WWE officials, the feeling is that everything will be smoothed out over time.

No wonder Punk has issues with Creative.

 

[Slushy]

Ryback is over no mistake about that, but I still think he is unworthy of wearing the WWE title, but if he does win, he'll already be a better WWE champion than The Miz, lol.

 

[Kaleb]

I love the unity that the former indy wrestlers have for one another.


screw you Vince.

 

[SpideyVille]

I kinda see them going the route of "Cena defeats Ryback despite a bad ankle" as opposed to "Ryback defeats Cena because of a bad ankle."

Although, now that I think about it, both situations make Ryback look bad. If he wins, it was only because of the ankle, but if he loses, he really sucks because he couldn't get it done.

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

wow so wwe is seeing that having a part timer who would do a runner for his new movie as champ may have been a bad move


gee if one someone had noticed and told them......ohh wait

Awesome! They were even making Cesaro job to Ryder on the European tour.

I don't see the attractiveness in the Bella Twins. But the Funkadactyls.....well that's different.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Just catching up with Raw. Wish Ricardo and Rio were a tag-team.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Random thought: Want to see Brock get his ring pyro back, want him to work more dates too, at least once a week, come on dude.

 

[TX85]

I was and kinda am a Rock mark But I hope things stay disconnected between Rock&WWE..Unless Rock leaves Hollywood for at least half a year and goes full-time on TV,Which ain't happening any time soon so yeah I don't care about WWE&Rock being on sour terms!

Well, what do you expect from a man who in the back of his mind probably believes in Immortality?

- The original plan for WWE's new Divas reality show was to have the full cast made up of new Diva recruits from a recent Divas search camp that began in Los Angeles. Only two of the potential Divas made it to WWE so they had to fill the rest of the spots on the show with current Divas.

Regarding the show, a source says the E! cameras just happened to be there at WrestleMania 29 when The Bella Twins, Cameron and Naomi were informed that their six-person tag match with Brodus Clay, Tensai, Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow wasn't going to take place. This now has led to speculation that the match was never planned for the pay-per-view in the first place and that it was a work to get some good footage for the new show on the E! network.

- Monday's WWE RAW averaged 4.285 million viewers, down from last week's episode which did a 3.14 cable rating for 4.4 million viewers. This week's RAW had 4.287 million in the first hour, 4.311 million viewers in the second hour and 4.257 million in the third hour.

- Despite The Rock teasing that WrestleMania 29 may have been his last wrestling match, there is some skepticism among some WWE wrestlers and staff. Most believe that when the time comes and Rock is healed up from all of his injuries and feeling good again, he will agree to work WrestleMania XXX in 2014.

It's said that Vince McMahon believes Rock will do at least one more match, which is why they continue to promote Rock on WWE TV. WWE is hoping that Rock will make an appearance at the October Hell in a Cell pay-per-view from his hometown of Miami.

- The Undertaker appears to have been written off WWE TV for the foreseeable future after being destroyed by The Shield on last Friday's SmackDown.

WWE officials are interested in having The Undertaker wrestle a match at this year's SummerSlam pay-per-view.

Regarding Taker defending The Streak at WrestleMania XXX in 2014, there is already talk of Ryback getting the shot but some feel that John Cena would get the best reaction as far as the match itself goes.

- Fandango has began using the flatliner as one of his finishing moves so he won't have to risk his long-term health doing the top rope legdrop every night.

- WWE officials are back on the idea of having Dolph Ziggler, AJ Lee and Big E Langston all hold singles titles at the same time.

Spoiler regarding Kaityln's mystery admirer. Sad news for UnionJack...

Spoiler

- At RAW, there was talk that the person who sent the mystery gift to WWE Divas Champion Kaitlyn was going to end up being Langston. There's also talk at RAW that Langston will be going after United States Champion Kofi Kingston.

- When word spread that Roman Reigns had caught the attention of Triple H, the belief was that he was going to be built up as a future main event performer. WWE has definitely taken that approach. They've protected him on the microphone by limiting the amount of things that he has to say. They're also building him up as a formidable opponent, as evident by the fact that he was given a pinfall victory over John Cena at Monday Night RAW this week.

- In correlation, while WWE is also high on Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose is rapidly standing out from his teammates. While Seth Rollins is allowed some lines, Ambrose is given the most important points of the promo. As noted, Roman Reigns is relegated to quick lines. WWE also trusts Ambrose more in the ring. They used him last week against the Undertaker, and they're having him face Kane at the next Smackdown.

I'd rather have Reigns end the streak if they're going down the route of a new big man to do it.

Anybody would be better than The Miz lol.

Agreed. I also want another Brock Lesnar WWE Championship title run.

I'm getting the feeling that Trips wants to turn Reigns into Batista 2.0.

I can see why they would trusts Ambrose more in the ring. He's not as risky in his moveset as say Rollins, as his is pretty basic. As for the micwork, well Ambrose speaks for himself on that one (no pun intended).

On a sidenote, I also noticed Rollins mistimed/miscued a dropkick reaction on Raw, but it's no biggie.
