The Wrestling Thread Is At Home Until Further Notice - - Part 141

[sweetre15]

Speaking of something, Does anyone think fans wouldn't clamor for a Cena heel turn if Cena had a character arc akin to Rick Grimes from Walking Dead during one of his feuds?

I mean where we see Cena atleast temporarily compromises his "humanity" to win a feud but he later returns to his "usual ways" but with an added dimension that forever makes his character come off different.

Honestly this would be ideal for a Cena vs Wyatt feud if ya ask me. The one way for Cena to beat him is to go to lengths he never wanted to go in a way that CAN change him forever.

They tried to do that before and it failed. I just hate that the Wyatts vs Shield feud is going to be a stepping stone just to feed The Wyatts to Cena.

You're not talking about that stupid Kane feud are you?

 

[TheNextNolan22]

The Kane feud(which was one of the worst things I've ever seen in my entire life) AND Nexus. It's pretty much going to end up like every generic Cena feud ever.

Those failed because they REFUSED to pull the trigger on changing anything about him.

I remember when the Edge feud showed a side to Cena that made his character a lot less generic but they were too dumb to make it a permanent layer to his character.

If he feuds with Bray then it needs to be something where Cena gets new and permanent layers added to his character.

Some times I wonder what has a bigger chance of happening....Cena turning into a full heel at some point, or Bryan being allowed to be the face of the company?

I'm fairly late to the party, but did anyone actually get into the Total Divas show?

 

[Darkness Falls]

raw will definitely be interesting this week
their facebook page has produced the best humor, so much anger and rightfully so

Nope and I never plan to.

 

[Wheels]

Lobo is the only one who likes Total Divas on here.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I'd rather listen to Fran Drescher laughing on loop for 10 hours than watch that.

I've watched them all. It's meh, though. There are much better "reality" shows. There are others here who watch it too, they just won't admit it. They should have followed Punk around. Now THAT would have been entertainment.

For Nolan

Oh okay. I might watch some of next season for Summer. Naomi will still be there too, right?

 

[Lobo]

Probably. I didn;t even know Summer was going to be on next season. Eva will probably be released by then. Nevermind just saw Summer Rae replaces JoJo on the show.

Other than the fact that I rarely watch reality TV, the main reason I don't watch is the Bellas. I should be grateful to the show though as it's a major reason Bryan was pushed hard last year.

 

[RetroNaz]

I find it interesting how some of these guys are outside of the ring. (not so much the woman)

Here's hoping....

 

[Darkness Falls]

i'll probably watch total divas now that summer rae is on it
she needs more of an onscreen presence on raw, her nxt work is great

 

[brainchild81]

I enjoy the divas show. Did they ever say what JoJo did to get in the doghouse?

 

[Big Green]

While I am a big punk fan, I completely disagree with him walking out. He has a contract and should stick to it then given wwe a big FU on the way out but not at a moments notice.

While I understand the majority of people are punk marks, what he did was strictly unprofessional. Before I hear the BS about him having the right and should have walked out bc WWe isn't professional, then so whaT. Just because others, including superiors may not be professional doesn't mean you shouldn't.

If it came down to injuries, if he asked for a lighter schedule and they said no, I would understand him leaving.that would be about the only cause but from the rumors he left because of disagreement with management, position in company, and money.

Barry Sanders
Jim Brown
Sandy Koufax
Ken Dryden
Rocky Marciano

^ athletes who have walked away early due to various reasons ^

If Punk breached his contract the E would be taking legal action against him.

agree with you - Im a huge Punk fan but this is him chucking his dummy out of his pram - terrible attitude, especially after he has been pushed hard by WWE the last few years and given the longest title reign of the modern era

Punk is making a statement by walking out on a near 7 figure payday, WWE don't listen to the fans, book on bias and treat the guys who work their ass off like ****, someone actually showing he doesn't need them and walking out on their biggest spectacle was the moment to do it in order to make a point and it's a point that has been well publicized due to the timing.

Needs more Big E

Big E hasn't really been featured much since the holiday eps, he only had a cup of coffee in the Rumble. I wouldn't be surprised if he defended the IC title on the pre-show.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

The timing of all of this is quite amazing. On the eve of the 30th Anniversary of the company's biggest show of the and the launch of the Network.

 

[chamber-music]

I always though the point of King of the Ring and Money In The Bank is to push a wrestler. It should be used to perhaps push a superstar into the main event scene or as a top midcarder.

When is Rusev suppose to debut on the main roster and on Raw or Smackdown tv?,He should tag with Cesaro as a new dominant force called"European Dominance"or Bulgarian&Swiss

I say the WWE should allow Barrett, McIntyre and Pierre Marceau to reform their European heel stable The Foreign Legion from their time in the UK indies where they feuded with Sheamus.

Or they can start a new European stable with that name featuring Rusev, Cesaro, Neville and Sylvester Lefort.
