The Wrestling Thread is a Figment of Its Own Imagination

Also Punk was one of the few people who might of actually gotten through to Vince. If I was a star on the active roster I would have low morale because it's damn near impossible to break the threshold..

 

[brainchild81]

Well, I might be in the minority.

If Punk walked out then he should stay gone. IMO it is sort of a slap in the face to the other wrestlers who work just as hard. He seems somewhat selfish to me as it seems that unless he is in the spotlight he throws a fit.

Punk's not the one doing the slapping. WWE is slapping all the hard working people in the face. Punk is just one of the few who can afford to walk away in order to send WWE a much needed message. If more of the roster was as financially secure as Punk I'm sure there would've been more walkouts

- Steve Austin is interviewing MMA star Daniel Cormier for his podcast today. They will be talking wrestling, MMA and the Royal Rumble.

- WWE tried to ensure Batista would be cheered at last night’s RAW in Omaha by having him cut a localized promo before he came out for the segment with Alberto Del Rio. The promo aired while RAW was on commercial. Batista talked about how he was a big fan of baseball and the College World Series, which is hosted in Omaha.

- Randy Orton was told to hurry through his promo and deliver it faster than usual at the beginning of last night’s RAW, likely to combat the CM Punk chants or any hijacking by the crowd.

If fans were truly ejected for chanting CM Punk, that is an abominable act for the WWE to commit. That completely goes against their ethos as a fan-first company.

 

[bullets]

Batista was giving fans the middle finger a couple weeks ago and now he's out there kissing their asses

 

[SpideyVille]

It certainly helped that their was a young fan with a pro-Batista sign in the front, which is ironic because a fan was in the same area last week with a Boo-tista sign and he pointed them both out.

I'm glad they are letting Luke Harper talk a bit during promos now,his part last night was good and his whistling was such a great touch

He used to talk quite a bit in NXT so I'm definitely glad that he's not just confined to "yea yea yea yea" as his only form of speech on the main roster.

Also guys, is it true that Takeshi Morishima once tried out for WWE and they turned him down because he looked like a "Chubby teenage girl"? That's a bit silly of a reason not to hire a wrestler to me if that's true.

Well sometimes he does say things during matches but can't hear him clearly except the yea yea yea part

Oh hell I would give anything to have seen that awkward exchange between Batista and the crowd....''Soo um you guys like Baseball?,I like Baseball''

Instead of kissing asses he needs to kiss babies and hug fat chicks!

I'd believe it.

He's like Goldberg, one of those guys who loses his cool real quick when things don't go his way with fans.

Currently watching last years Summerslam aka the last time WWE held a good PPV.

I thought TLC was pretty solid.

Royal Rumble 2014 was a great show, but then Batista won and all everybody is going to remember is the sh**ty ending.

but basketballs don't hold grudges.............

 

[Dr. Evil]

Well then, he better keep his cool when Guardians of the Galaxy comes out as Marvel would not hesitate to replace him at all the second he loses his cool.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

I see what you did there.

On the flip side, Orton DID cut the best promo he's cut in a while..

 

[sweetre15]

I just watched the first Bryan vs Morishima Match and it has me wondering...How epic would a match between Daniel Bryan and Vader in his prime would have been?

I'm sure atleast a few of you have wondered that since Bryan's approach to wrestling "giants" is very believable 99% of the time.

ORIGINAL: At this time, the launch of the WWE Network is said to be worrying a lot of the WWE talent. The company was set to hold a meeting prior to RAW about three weeks ago to discuss and answer any questions that the locker room had (such as how pay-per-view bonuses may change is the big one) but the meeting was canceled.

The meeting has not been rescheduled, and it is said that the company has not rescheduled the meeting because they are not completely sure how the WWE Network will affect everything, including pay raises and the pay-per-view bonuses.

UPDATE: At this time, the WWE production staff is said to be very nervous about the busy future they are about to have. The staff is very concerned about the workload once the WWE Network debuts. There is also worry about the rumors that Smackdown could go live when WWE signs their new TV deals this year, once again increasing the staff's workload.

This sounds like very typical organizational change behaviour from any big company that makes a lot of changes in a very short period of time.

On the plus side, anybody who's ever wanted to work for the WWE (not as a wrestler I mean) should keep their eyes peeled, as there are likely going to be new jobs created, as well as firings and resignations.

Danielson vs Morishima is one of my favorite modern day feuds in wrestling.
