Kane vs. Aksana next week on Smackdown?

What a bunch of morons.

 

[TX85]

You damn well know they ain't having a male vs female match on WWE any time soon and especially not waste a chance of it with Kane vs Aksana!

It may be made But Orton will most likely attack Kane before the match starts or before Kane can touch her!

 

[Dr. Evil]

Hopefully Orton attacks.

Still though the WWE does some stupid things sometimes.....like Natalya farting. That shows how moronic they can be. If I'm Natalya, I demand my release, because she would probably be treated better in TNA.

Does anybody else get the feeling that that water bottle is suppose to have some deeper meaning?

Oh yes. Water is exactly what I want to blow all over her. Nothing else. Nothing else at all. Just water...

-- In response to rumors of backstage jealousy and resentment over Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson stealing the spotlight at WrestleMania XXVIII, former WWE Superstar Carlito went on Twitter to defend The Most Electrifying Man In Sports Entertainment against "the boys."

"My opinion on The Rock is that everybody should be thankful that he's back. Did he come back to save his movie career? Of course, so what? The Rock saved 'Mania last year and this year too. Do any of u see any other wrestler right now that can sell out 'Mania?" he wrote.

"The "boys" should be happy that 'Mania will be a big success and fans shouldn't even really care as to why Rock is back."

-- Former WWE star Diamond Dallas Page stated during the PWTorch Livecast this week that he was backstage at last week's Raw live event at the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, California.

-- Eve's victory over Natalya on Friday's SmackDown extends the third generation wrestler's televised singles match losing streak to twelve consecutive losses. Her last win took place on the August 5, 2011 SmackDown, over A.J.

There are reports circulating online that former WWF star Doug Furnas passed away in his sleep Friday night. He was 50 years old.

The first report is from David Haskins, a Tennessee based wrestler. He said he received the information from Doug's brother Mike Furnas, who was also a wrestler.

Furnas was a college football player at the University of Tennessee who became one of the greatest powerlifters of all-time as he broke more than two dozen world records. He crossed over to professional wrestling in 1986 with Knoxville, Tennessee based promotion Continental Championship Wrestling, which led him to a career all over the world. Furnas was a fixture in All Japan Pro Wrestling with Phil Lafon (a/k/a Dan Kroffat) and the two were considered one of the best tag teams of the 1990s. Their supreme talent led to employment with the World Wrestling Federation and Extreme Championship Wrestling in the late 1990s. Furnas also worked for World Championship Wrestling in 1990 as a singles competitor.

Furnas had battled Parkinson's disease for a number of years. The degenerative disorder forced him to retire in 2000.

WZ has received word that Wade Barrett's injury is more serious than a "partially dislocated elbow fixed without surgery" as everybody - including himself - first thought. Barrett finally underwent surgery in the beginning of the week and was told he'd be out for at least 3-4 months.

We are being told this is also the reason why the Money in the Bank Ladder Match has been scrapped from WrestleMania 28, as Wade Barrett was scheduled to walk away with the briefcase.

As we reported earlier, Barrett posted a Tweet claiming that he is done with Twitter for now, and that he will see everyone in a "few months."

We will have more on this story as it continues to develop.

The way they have been mistreating Natayla proves why the WWE is run by a bunch of idiots.

You know, in response to the Carlito bit with The Rock, I do find it rather funny how there's so much resentment regarding The Rock returning, but everyone is just waiting in anticipation for Austin to come back...

So with one guy, it's "taking a spot away from someone in the back", but with another, it's okay, and people anticipate it...

 

[Anno_Domini]

It's even funnier that we're getting more responses of people defending Rock as opposed to most of the "anonymous" mentions of people being against Dwayne returning and even except that, we've only heard a few outspoken performers such as Punk and Orton and even they have lowered their tone and resentment.

Based on how he was used in previous appearances, Austin doesn't tend to take a lot of spotlight. Last time he was around, didn't he just referee or enforce that Lawler vs Cole match?

On top of that, Austin didn't vanish from the business for 7 years, nor did he ever act like or deny that he was a pro wrestler.

It's even funnier that we're getting more responses of people defending Rock as opposed to most of the "anonymous" mentions of people being against Dwayne returning and even except that, we've only heard a few outspoken performers such as Punk and Orton and even they have lowered their tone and resentment.

Well I highly doubt anyone at the midcard level will give anything except for an anonymous opinion since they probably don't want to anger Vince and risk losing their jobs or getting buried. Plus on top of that, some of them probably don't get that Rock is a draw.

Has Punk really lowered his resentment? He probably still feels the same but understands the Rock is good for business. Besides, Punk has his own feuds to deal with.

 

[Anno_Domini]

I feel that Punk has lowered his resentment. Once, he would bash Dwayne for returning and being a hypocrite, but now I think, as a top-carder and one of the selling points of the WWE, he finally realized how this is all just a business, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson returning is good for business. Well, that's how I've been seeing it as of late.

So, let's bring in another topic here...do you guys think Cena will realize that Dwayne and The Rock are the same this Monday Night RAW? Lol.

 

[Van Petrol]

If anyone wants to talk about past wrestlers stealing the spotlight, then it's Shawn Michaels. The dude even came straight out with it when he returned two weeks ago..

Just because Punk knows Rock is good for business doesn't mean he doesn't have problems.

Probably, I wonder if he'll ask Rock why he talked in third person.

So, if we did end up getting ONE GENERAL Manager running both brands of the show, do you guys think that this would mean that we might end up getting a World Title Unification?

 

[Hunter Rider]

I don't recall Orton saying anything about Rock. As for Punk lowering his tone, if Punk goes off on Rock in the middle of Cena's angle with him it's not going to help Cena, plus he may be saving his thoughts for the summer.

I can't help but laugh at guys like Carlito and Helms sucking up to Rocky, maybe they are hoping for the roles of gangbanger #6 and #7 in the next Fast & Furious.

Hey, hey! Doesn't she know how bad those bottles are for the environment?!

If didn't already know you were gay, this would have been the moment man.

It's ok when you are the greatest ever. In truth though HBK only comes back when WWE ask him as he's not really active anymore, it's like Austin, when WWE buzz either they come and help out.

 

[Anno_Domini]

Just because Punk knows Rock is good for business doesn't mean he doesn't have problems.

But with the fact that he's lowering his tone on The Rock in general, I think with understanding how the business side of the WWE works, I think Punk is more fine with Dwayne having returned; that's what I am referring too. He may still have some problems, absolutely, but he's also taking less and less shots at Dwayne.

Probably, I wonder if he'll ask Rock why he talked in third person.

Most likely, and it'll come off as weakening Rock as well once more since that's what WWE is trying to do. Cena will probably come out first, talk, then Rock will come out, Cena will say some more harsh things and walk out leaving Rock in the ring which the crowd will then chant 'Rocky', but it was all meant for the crowd to boo at Rock which won't happen.

So, if we did end up getting ONE GENERAL Manager running both brands of the show, do you guys think that this would mean that we might end up getting a World Title Unification?

I would want this to happen. I've always wanted just one main title for a world champion. I think it should happen on a big-named PPV like Summerslam though, or at least Money in the Bank which is the one before Summerslam in 2012.

I don't recall Orton saying anything about Rock. As for Punk lowering his tone, if Punk goes off on Rock in the middle of Cena's angle with him it's not going to help Cena, plus he may be saving his thoughts for the summer.

When talking about The Rock being “back,” Orton had more than enough to say on the matter.

Now all of a sudden he's back in our world telling the fans what they want to hear. He's telling them, "I promise that I will never go away again. I promise that I'm back for good and that I'm here to stay." He said that, what, six or seven weeks ago? Have we even seen him live since then? No. Via satellite.

There's another article where he mentioned how he supposedly called out Rock by saying Cena was the better performer and better on the mic and Dwayne went and told Triple H on him, which I don't seem to believe it, but yah.

 

[Specter313]

I don't see how one has any bearing on the other.

I'm still fine with two separate big titles because, as others have said before, people like Mark Henry would almost never have a shot at one single title.

I doubt Punk's tone has changed, he just has more things to worry about than taking shots at the Rock. Cena's the one feuding with Rock, not Punk after all.

Besides, he knows in a few weeks that Rock will be gone again anyway.
