The Wrestling Thread Has More Hype Than WrestleMania XXIX - - Part 92

[TX85]

Got"Blockbuster@Home"service,I'll be renting me some Indy wrestling DVDs since I can't find any at retail stores and I rarely order online,First one in my que is"Best of Chikara"..Can't wait!

 

[Donnie Darko]

Brock Lesnar has done zero Wrestlemania 29 promotion.

That's because he's too busy getting on top of his wife.

 

[I'm Venom]

Boy I STILL can't believe they are wasting Jerichos time at Wrestlemania on Bungholio.

Somehow he even managed to f*** up putting the boots to Jericho. Thats why the crowd clearly chanting "you can't wrestle" was even funnier to me.

At the end Faildumbo's dance partner proved why she's the best thing about the whole act.

Pretty good match between Jericho and Cesaro though. Thats who Y2J should be wrestling at Wrestlemania.

I’d love a Cesaro/Jericho feud over the United States title. If they give Jericho the belt, they need to take advantage of that. Have him battle every heel that’s rising through the ranks. A feud with Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow could be something amazing and would be a great way to bring a conclusion to both Jericho’s reign and Rhodes Scholars. Have a Triple Threat Ladder Match at TLC, which will be the peak of Rhodes Scholars’ dissolution, and take the opportunity to make a star in Sandow. Sandow as United States Champion would have a fresh vibe.

Tout is the worst idea in the history of the internet. Give him a manager and just let him wrestle. How's Ziggler's brother?

CM Punk spoke with Chad Dukes of 106.7 The Fan DC / CBS Radio while at WrestleMania Axxess. Here are some highlights.

Wearing the Antonio Cesaro shirt: "It was a clean shirt that grabbed and I wore that day. It's not some sort of silent protest because he's not on Mania, although I will go on record right now that it's absolutely ridiculous that he doesn't have a match at Wrestlemania. I will pimp that guy until the cows come home. He's awesome. He's everything that the WWE should want in their superstars. He's tremendous. He can wrestle, he's a brick house, he's looks the part, he acts the part, he walks and talks that part. He can speak seven different languages! You're missing the boat on this guy."

On the company: "This is not my company; if it was it would be run very differently and I'm not saying that the way Vince [McMahon] does things is 100% right or 100% wrong all the time and I'm not saying that I know the answer to everything. Vince does what he thinks is best for business and he's right a lot of the time and there's just sometimes I think he's missing the boat on stuff, Cesaro being one of them. [Wade] Barrett's another good one. I think we start and stop guys too much. They did it with me forever; they did it with Sheamus forever. You're the flavor of the month. You're doing this, you're doing that, and then you just kind of get shuffled to the back. I don't think anybody can truly organically grow and become these superstars that they say they're looking for when you start and stop guys all the time. But it's just a difference of opinion on how the business is."

MMA: "I don't think Vince would let me do that. Am I interested? I'd be lying if I said I wasn't. Doing what I do now, I would not be able to train how I would need to, but we'll see what happens."

The new WWE title: "That was actually one of the goals. I never would have spoken about it on TV if there wasn't a new title belt ready to go. So, I did that and I just got the run-around forever about it. It was talked about, it just never happened."

The Streak: "I've got the Undertaker and I think the streak, ultimately, is bigger than the title. Twenty years undefeated at Wrestlemania and the way this thing's been built up, no I'm not salty about not even having the title anymore. I think I built that thing (the WWE title) up and I worked very hard to do that, to get it ready for the next guy. So no, not salty at all."

Steve Austin: "It's never been really acknowledged within the WWE. This isn't me trying to promote something that isn't there, but there was just this hilarious tension in the room when me and Steve were in there. It's funny to actually be in a room live, everybody else is uncomfortable except me and Steve. There's this weird magnetism. It's this unspoken thing. The only way I can describe it, and Paul Heyman completely 100% agrees, it's the Old West and there's the two gunfighters, and they're buddies, but everybody always goes, 'I wonder what would happen... what if?' And that's all it is. It's fun."

I hate when they job tag teams to one guy,Yeah Ryback is..Ryback But Epico&Primo are one of WWE's very few actual tag teams and they get squashed

 

[Van Petrol]

Good interview with Punk. I agree completely with him about Cesaro, and it's interesting to see that he rates Barrett highly, and so do I.

 

[The Sage]

According to a source within WWE, the plan as of this writing is to have the Tag Team Title Match, featuring Team Hell No vs Dolph Ziggler and Big E. Langston, open WrestleMania 29 on Sunday night.

The original plan was to have the mixed tag team match open the show, but as of today, the plan changed and currently the tag title match is set to open the show.

As expected, WZ is being told The Rock vs John Cena will main event the PPV.

[Van Petrol]

At least it sounds as though the WHC won't be curtain jerking yet again.

 

[TX85]

No regular Smackdown tonight!?,They could've done this Wrestlemania preview edition on Main Event or Slam

Nah, just Wrestlemania previews with a couple of matches. They filmed the matches on Monday.

Us UK'ers didn't even get that. We just got a two hour show of matches from recent WrestleMania's. I just fast-fowarded through the whole thing.

 

[TX85]

Tensai&Brodus would be such a badass team..IF they went serious&monster brutes

 

[Anno_Domini]

You can make your predictions now!

 

[SpideyVille]

Anyone listen to Stone Cold's new podcast?

 

[The Sage]

During a recent interview conducted for The Associated Press posted over at BostonHerald.com, The Rock offered the following advice to the WWE locker room amidst criticism that he is returning to the company to headline WrestleMania as a part-time worker:

"For the guys in the locker room, it has to be more than just, 'I'm ready to carry the company." he said. "It has to be, 'I'm ready to carry the company and then I'm ready to carry the company to places it's never been.' That's hard to do considering the precedent that's already been set."

IF I was in NY I'd be more excited about the Fan Axxess events and the Wrestlemania Superstore they have set up than about the actual WM ppv

 

[Hunter Rider]

Haha! I was going to say maybe Rock could Rock Bottom or F-U Cena off of it, but he'd probably forget to sell it..

Maybe they could just both fall off it.

 

[NDX]

well, I'm here and the only thing I give a crap about is seeing Evil Dead tomorrow.

Ziggler's brother is barely used on NXT, so I couldn't tell you.

Dude, I LOVE this idea. If you don't mind I'd like to build on this

Sandow winning the US Title is a brilliant move, and I think that Cesaro should really be Intercontinental Champion. It just makes more sense to me. And since they both debuted I've been wanting to see Cesaro and Sandow against each other, two arrogant pricks who want to glorify themselves to the masses. I'm not saying make this a storyline to unify the titles, but I think something special would come of that, especially given the scenario you just proposed above it would keep Sandow's star rising, and have an opportunity to bring those two titles back to a level where they were 15 years ago, being a stepping stone for major players to become main eventers.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Come on, be honest fellas, for the first 1.8 seconds of that animated gif, some of you thought that was Kaitlyn.

 

[sweetre15]

Whose in favor of the Ziggy/Big E/AJ faction becoming a prominent force on WWE TV after Mania? Most likely on Smackdown for the most part.

Also considering the the current raw timeslot, I really think they could benefit of taking a page out of the Chris Kreski book of storyline writing by having extensively layered continuity and storylines that makes sure to give just about everyone on the card Something to do. Hell before Kreski left, I remember him giving certain wrestlers like The Rock and HHH primary feuds and secondary feuds and kept it focused. 3 hrs lends itself to that kind of booking IMHO.
