The Wrestling Thread Has Until 5! - Part 40

Nice detective work, Batman.

 

[X Knight]

so it's pretty much a given that Jericho will return then?

will he be the heel to Punk's face?

 

[Dr. Evil]

Jericho will come out and cause a second World Title reign for Dolph Ziggler.

 

[X Knight]

wait.....Ziggler was world champ before?? when??!!

Briefly back in January.

Briefly back in January.

wow!! totally forgot about that...........

and you can thank WWE booking and musical chair championships for that.......

I mean.....if you look at Swagger right now......you'd be hard pressed to remember he was a world champ once, too.

But Ziggler has definitely improved, and if he does get another title reign, I hope it's legit and longer lasting..........

 

[chamber-music]

Hmp. I guess Kane DID take offense to Cena's "Rise Above The Hate" motto. Makes sense.

Good promo by Kane. I like how he actually worked the Cena Sucks chants into it.

Now I doubt that Cena will turn heel since they've addressed it so directly but what they'll have Kane do is take Cena on a emotional turmoil filled rollercoaster for the next several weeks in order to "help him." Cena (probably) rises above, defeats Kane, and is stronger than ever to face the Rock...or some such BS.

I could see that. Sounds exactly like something WWE creative would come up with

 

[TX85]

I'm not sure why some people are saying Kane speaking ruins the mystique..When it already happened years ago!,He's been speaking for years and so why would you expect him to return a mute and Paul Beare already had a return last year?

He's back in monster mode/getting a new push/back in a mask and in shape,Ain't that good news?Just cause it ain't 100% perfect like YOU would want it don't mean you can't enjoy it at all!

 

[Kane52630]

I didn't say I didn't enjoyed last night's promo. It was meh, I did like the fact that WWE gave Kane a huge push to the main spotlight.

 

[TX85]

I was talking about people in general,On here&other sites!!

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

so now that kane has basically addressed he wants cena to go heel, i guess its a good will always prevail, a hero's destiny etc etc etc

you know the usual ********

 

[mjdiddy1]

Ok guys its time to take a look at the last promo for It begins



Ok Here's a few things I can get out of all that

The Chalkboard says He is not coming not they so I don't think the girl has a totally different meaning and she is not returning with the guy.

There's a Globe spinning in the backround which I think represents two men calling themsleves the best in the world one man being CM Punk the Other man being well obviously the guy returning

CHRIS JERICHO.

Also as you can see the clock says 11:02 which I guess means this will happen at the end of the show at the 11:02 mark.

Great detective work and I will add again the girl has everything to do with this. The girl is not a person per se but an entity if you will...a universe. The girl is the WWE universe. Previous times, Jericho has come back to appease the audience, to 'save us' but this time he is coming for himself and to claim his title...not necessarily the physical belt but the moniker of 'the Best in the World'. This is why he playing on twitter. The final quote sealed it for me 'Do you understand, now?' But it'll suck now if it's anyone other than Jericho. So, question isn't who it is but how will he make his arrival? Damn, I have too much time on my hands.

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

if that turns out to be anyone but y2j then seriously wwe just pack it in

 

[Kane52630]

This is awesome.

so jericho is'nt going after orton even tho he punted him in his head out of wwe lol

 

[Darkness Falls]

so jericho is'nt going after orton even tho he punted him in his head out of wwe lol

i thought the exact same thing
but then that'd kinda be a retread of punk/orton this year

 

[brainchild81]

I'm trying to get back into WWE now that AmDrag has the title. How was he booked in the month leading up to his title run?

 

[Darkness Falls]

pretty poorly to be honest
he was booked to lose most of his matches, he got the title on a knocked out mark henry but it was renigged, he won a #1 contenders match the same week, he lost a good but short cage match against mark henry for the title, then had a mini program with michael cole and cody rhodes before the tlc ppv where he cashed in after the big show/henry championship match

 

[Hunter Rider]

Like crap.

 

[Slushy]

I felt like I was watching Star Wars last night with Emperor Kaneatine trying to lure John Skywalker to the darkside.

wait.....Ziggler was world champ before?? when??!!

IIRC for 11 minutes on the final SD before Elimination Chamber. I was glad he got the title, but dropping it to Edge right away with no follow up made the title change kind of pointless. I'm guessing it was done only for shock factor.

 

[DBryan]

So, so bad.

He's lost the vast majority of his matches going back months.

He lost to Cody Rhodes twice, before cashing in on Big Show to become World champion.

The booking just makes no sense.

It's the hot and cold type booking that CM Punk talked about before. They do something great with you like having you win Money In The Bank, then they book you in a losing streak, then give you a title?!

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

I'm not sure why some people are saying Kane speaking ruins the mystique..When it already happened years ago!

Because Kane had no mystique when he was speaking years ago

If this Kane v. Cena angle becomes nothing more than Cena rising above his hatred, and good always triumphing evil, and if this It Begins stuff isn't for Jericho, I may just give up on WWE.

Also, with Ziggler, he had the belt for all of 10 minutes before his title reign was revoked, wasn't it? Technically, wasn't Ziggler never -officially- a champion?

 

[Specter313]

If the rumors of Ryder being demoted because of last weeks ratings are true, then this just proves yet again that WWE is too impatient and can't properly build new stars. Seriously, it's like they expected their numbers to skyrocket after the PPV. This crap takes time, and they need to learn that already. They can't abandon stuff when the change isn't instantaneous.

That is, unless this isn't another case of the WWE getting a case of sour grapes and looking for a reason to shove it in the faces of the indy and internet marks being all "Hey, we put the belts on your favorites and they didn't bring in the ratings, so we ain't gonna keep them in the spotlight."

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

^ I actually agree with you.

I might not be the biggest fan of the current champions, but just stripping them of the titles and shoving them back down to the bottom of the card certainly isn't the answer.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Like crap. The WWE treats him like crap because he doesn't have the size (Randy Orton), mass appeal (John Cena) or mic skills (CM Punk). At least with Punk, he was well protected in his losses. Bryan wasn't protected at all. The WWE also uses Michael Cole to make fun of him because Cole isn't allowed to make fun of Cena, Orton or Triple H and if he does without Vince telling him to, he would get in major trouble.
