The Wrestling Thread Invented Canada! - - - Part 48

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

NXT must be a brand now because Regal was named GM.

That's cool, gives the jobbers something to do. I wonder if they'll create a title for it.

I lost interest in the NXT concept pretty fast anyways.

great interview with Punk



part 2

Just watched this interview from the other thread, it was the night after TLC and it's interesting to note Punk mentions the ice cream bars and changing the belt design, but that it takes time to get these things pushed through.

He's also still keen to get Joe and Cabana in, I'm a bit surprised they haven't brought the latter in for use in a storyline and as someone that if booked right could have a Ryder/Santino type of role.

- WWE's goal for this past weeks RAW was to give John Cena the upper-hand according to F4Wonline.com. John Cena's time on the mic, what he would say and The Rock's reaction was all intended for Cena to win that round.

Many in WWE are holding strong that Cena pointing out The Rock had notes on his wrist was not scripted and not something The Rock was prepared to hear.

WWE officials are determined for the crowd to be split 50/50 at WrestleMania 28 in Miami which WWE knows right now will require Cena to look stronger and turn some of the crowd to join his side.

Road Warrior Animal, brother of John Laurinaitis, recently said in an interview that he would love to do an angle that let him be involved for a power struggle with his brother.

Here are some highlights from the interview with Wrestling 101:

What are you making of your brother John’s current role in the WWE as GM of Raw and Executive Vice President of Talent Relations?

When you see John on TV that is him being his natural self, which is making that whole story-line as popular as it is, you may not agree with his methodology, but he is doing what he thinks is right, and he is going to do it despite of what anyone else thinks, but he’s in a no win situation. As well as being on television he also has a company to run, he is an employee too and he has a hundred employees under him. I wouldn’t want to have his job for anything in the world.

Could we see you return in one form or another to television with either WWE or TNA?

Earlier this year I was asked if I wanted to compete in this years Royal Rumble but I didn’t do it because they just didn’t give me enough notice, they called me like two days before and asked if I wanted to do the Royal Rumble and I said they could have at least given me a months notice.

I’m in good enough shape to do it and if wanted to wrestle I could but since Hawk passed away every year that goes by it gets harder and harder for me to even want to do it. I still do personal appearances and charity events around the country for my fans.

In the future I would love to do anything the WWE wanted me to do, they’re doing this big deal with the SmackDown GM against the Raw GM and what a great angle it would be to have me come in as the SmackDown GM and go against my brother as the Raw GM and have a battle between the two companies.

Road Warrior Animal goes on to compare Vince McMahon to Eric Bischoff as a boss, being asked to compete in Royal Rumble and more. Click here to read the full interview.

They ask Road Warrior Animal about TNA and he avoids it.

And I don't think Rey returns at Wrestlemania 28.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

And I don't think Rey returns at Wrestlemania 28.

I don't think Rey has much left in him.

That would be pretty cool actually. Laryngitis would have his 4-man team of yes-men go against Long's team of Santino, Kingston, Jackson and a "mystery partner" at WM. Then, we hear "Aaaah, what a rush!" and then Animal comes out as Long's 4th guy. That would totally pop.

That is kind of sad to read considering that they've had an entire year to turn Cena into someone the crowd can get behind and had many opportunities to do so. It's not like he needs an entire gimmick change or even a heel turn.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Random question: How long is Wrestlemania usually?

About 4 hours.

 

[Van Petrol]

WTH are they doing with Drew McIntyre?!...I keep waiting and hoping he is eventually going to break out into a more ruthless and winning persona/run. They're really wasting his potential, and all for what? The problems caused by his ex-missus?...

Oh Christ...do they really think this is gonna happen? It'll be in Miami...it'll be 100 on Rock, 0 on Cena just like Money in the Bank with Punk. They've been worried about this for months now and they think just now they will get a 50/50 split only four weeks before WrestleMania?

The brand may still be pretty good, but I swear, the ideas from WWE still amaze me on how ignorant they sound. They should be persuading the fans to get on Cena's side for a long, long time and not bore us with the Cena/Ryder/Kane feud.

Should bring back the cruiserweight title and let them scrap it out for that

Trish is class, articulate, beautiful and intelligent.

If Rey isn't back for team Teddy at Wrestlemania I'd put money on Booker T being a part of it. SD needs some more top guys, it cant be a sad team like Santino, Jackson, Gabriel and Khali vs Christian, Del Rio, Henry, and Otunga. I'm hoping for soething like Rey, Booker, Kofi and Truth

 

[Anno_Domini]

I really want to see Kofi and R-Truth in another triple threat match for the WWE tag titles with Primo and Epico and Ziggler and Swagger.

For the GM match? I could see Santino, Jackson and the Usos being used. The Usos would be ten times better than Khali and Gabriel.

 

[Lobo]

Thats still a sad team going up against a team that has three former world champions on it. Thats why I think Booker and Rey are needed. Or at least one of them

Triple H speaks on his relationship with The Rock and his kids

Great interview, Triple H comes over really well.

Good shout on Booker, I can see him being the star opwer if Rey can't make it.

Triple H and Shawn Michaels Reunite

 

[Pink Ranger]

I had no idea Triple H pronounced his last name "la-VES-cue." I thought it was the French pronounciation of "la-VECK."

 

[Team Andino]

Many in WWE are holding strong that Cena pointing out The Rock had notes on his wrist was not scripted and not something The Rock was prepared to hear.
.

I kind of think Rock only had that on his wrist so that Cena could bring it up. Never before have I seen Rock have any "notes" for him in all my years watching him. Who knows maybe he did need them.

 

[Van Petrol]

I always thought the exact opposite.

Agreed. Listened to this interview a while ago.
