The Wrestling Thread Mustache You a Question

[I'm Batman.]

The hell? Jericho said for a while he'd work a match where he puts someone over...why would you waste someone who would put someone over with him going up against someone so ****ing boring as...Fandaaaaaaaaaaango?

They had all of the setup for a Jericho/Ziggler feud. Upsetting.

The only way that I'd be okay with the Jake Carter gimmick is if he's a mentally disturbed guy who assumes the identity of the Marine character because he can't handle his real life. The guy snaps when his identity is questioned. If they play it like fake Razor and Diesel then I'll crap on this every week.

Lol, like a male Mickie James.

LOL yeah.

He pastes his face on the DVD cover and sends it to Miz with a letter that reads: "I'm the real Jake Carter" Then, they have him attack Miz during a match after entering through the crowd and he gets carried off by security.

As I mentioned on the previous thread, WWE needs to give these Divas "Legends" contracts!!!!!!!!!!!!

So if I haven't been actively watching wrestling since like 2008-2009, is there any point in me trying to get back into Raw now? Grew up obsessed from the 80s-2002ish, then took a bit of a break for a couple years. Back in the mid-2000s, I was watching Raw, some SD, and TNA, as well as trying to check out other stuff online as well as the occasional ppv. Eventually it just slipped into being Raw. Then nothing. My friend is talking about getting Wrestlemania, and while I will definitely watch that for the guys I know and love (Undertaker, Punk, Lesnar, The Rock, Triple-H to a certain extent), I feel like I really need to talk myself into watching Raw leading back into it. The last I watched was Raw 1000, just for old time's sake, and I fast forwarded through a lot of the new guys.

RAW has been a mixed bag, and sometimes a bag of garbage with a few golden trinkets in it. The golden trinket part is the main reason why I'm still watching.

Everytime I think it's time to take a break or quit, something like CM Punk's pipebomb happens and I'm back it it again. Or guys like Ziggler and Bryan bring it in the ring, or the CM Punk/John Cena classic from a few weeks ago.

They play games with your mind, man...

if only there was some mathamatical equation to see which Raw episodes to miss and which ones to watch.

As noted yesterday, Rob Van Dam mentioned on Twitter yesterday that he would not be at tonight's Impact Wrestling tapings in Chicago.

PWInsider is reporting that RVD's contract with the company had expired last week. The two sides are talking, but as of this writing RVD is a free agent.

- One WWE source described Vince McMahon as "very argumentative and contrary" right now. Vince has reportedly been constantly second-guessing other people's ideas and his own. The Royal Rumble buyrate may be contributing to Vince's bad attitude but the source described Vince as "a massive pain in the ass to work with right now."

It was also noted that WWE writers are working a very demanding schedule at the office and not only is Vince demanding constant changes, but it's said that Stephanie McMahon is "fanning the flames" by requesting that writers come up with more options for Vince to go over.

- Before Monday's RAW hit the air, the original script they had for Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel was a "really bad" one so they changed it completely and spent hours re-doing the segment. There was also a problem with the Jeritron that was in the ring. During the playing of The Marine 3 trailer, the WWE ring crew had to remove the Jeritron from the ring. This caused more problems for the segment and Jericho was forced to improvise.

The segment really took a turn for the worse when Brad Maddox came out. The Jeritron was supposed to be involved in Maddox's presentation but it wasn't in the ring anymore, he lost track and flubbed his promo on live TV.

Even before Maddox came out, Vince McMahon had instructed Michael Cole to bury the segment on commentary. There was some heat on Cole with the feeling that the segment was bad but most people wouldn't have noticed or said anything if it weren't for his comments drawing attention.

Backstage, Vince was calling the segment one of the worse ever and Maddox was the one blamed.

I feel like that whatever happens there's always wrestlers to get invested in. I don't put myself in a bubble and I'm excited to see new talent.

 

[Anno_Domini]

Punk really needs to take some time off, he was has been iffy for a while

You know, if people are correct in saying the set up of CM Punk/Undertaker will lead to 'Taker just destroying Punk, then it could mean Punk might get some rest and return...hopefully as a face, trying to get the "people"'s trust and that's how Heyman backstabs Punk and Lesnar goes after him.

Knowing how much Punk is protective about his character I cant seem him getting destroyed by Taker at Wrestlemania, I could see an injury angle (involving Brock possibly)taking place which will put him out till Summerslam (Punk has always main evented those as far as I can remember)

 

[TheFuture]

Just had an argument with a guy who doesn't understand the long term damage to the product that could be done by Brock jobbing to HHH.

He said "Sure I had to google who won the match at Summerslam."

I'm worried that this is the kind of fair weather fool that doesn't really have any real interest in the product that the WWE are catering to with their current plans.

These guys won't be watching the day after WM, never mind at the next PPV.

I hope so because Punk needs a break.

WWE is going to be less enjoyable without Punk unless WWE focuses on people outside of Cena, Orton, Ryback and the part timers club.

 

[Kaleb]

im sure Punk will be there in some form doing commentry.

 

[Wheels]

im sure Punk will be there in some form doing commentry.

That would be great. I hope Punk becomes a commentator when he retires.

 

[Kaleb]

That would be great. I hope Punk becomes a commentator when he retires.

if he is a commentator he can continue to be a heel on commentry, but if he takes a long leave of absense there is no doubt that he will get a face like return.

 

[TheFuture]

I can't see Punk taking a break unless it's forced by injury (I know that's rumoured). I mean when did Cena take a break that wasn't forced by injury?

 

[Kaleb]

now there are rumours circulating that Punks match with Taker is in serious jeopardy.

Because of Punk getting hurt on RAW?

Everybody claiming for CM Punk to be a face, have you guys forgotten why Punk wanted to turn heel in the first place?

His character, and his natural persona, are much better suited as a heel than a face. Not that Punk can't pull off being a face, he can, but he's much better and much more natural in the role of a heel, and it's where he wants to be right now.

There won't be any "long term damage".

I really feel the IWC obsesses too much over who goes over and how, instead of investing in the characters and the storylines.

Who said that?

So Batista just became part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He's Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy. Good for him.
