The Wrestling Thread...NINJA PLEASE! - Part 31

[Metallo]

The problem with this game is that you run out of Dolph Lundgren roles that people actually know pretty quick.

Hey theres still Gunner from the Expendables. Besides Sgt. Scott was so awesome thats like ten average parts rolled into one.

Beth Phoenix Talks CM Punk vs. Triple H, Relationship with Natalya, More

Posted by Marc Middleton on 09/16/2011

Sirius XM's Busted Open Interview: Beth Pheonix
Hosts: Doug Mortman and Mike Riker
Busted Open can be heard Monday, Wednesday and Friday on Sirius 94, XM 208

Beth on working with Goldust: I have nothing but great things to say about Goldust, and really what he brings to us is the time that he spends working with us. He has such a wide variety of opinions and experience on the business, things that like, you know he’ll come to me with advice that I never really would have seen it that way you know. And he has a completely different perspective, and he has really, really put in so much effort and cares about the divas division and I have nothing but glowing things to say about him. If you see what you want to see and your liking what you are seeing, Goldust is a big part of that.

Beth on CM Punk vs. HHH: Well this match, you know, maybe has as much meaning for all of us on the roster as it does for the WWE Universe. Because if HHH loses, he is no longer the COO of the company. And on the other hand, CM Punk has kind of been the one guy to stand up and step up for all of us who have felt pushed aside or under-appreciated, so it really is kind of a conflict of heart. Because I like what HHH has been doing as the COO, he has really you know made some changes in the company that have affected us in a positive way. So um, you know, I understand Punk’s gripes, but at the same time me as a talent, I really like what HHH has done so it’s really a toss up. I think it could go either way, and it’s really going be the match I want to see the most.

Beth on her relationship with Natalya: Myself and Natalya have been longtime best friends in the wrestling business, you know we respect each other and we have very similar stories. I grew up really, you know, idolizing her family so we have a lot of, um, our mission is really what we have in common aside from other things, but you know we are our own thing. It’s unfortunate what happened with Karma because I would have loved to have her as an opponent at some day, at some point, but right now like I said it’s just all about me and Natty and that’s all we are really worried about.

Beth on CM Punk giving buzz to the wrestling world: I think there’s like a feeling of kind of like an anti-establishment growing, you know like a revolution. I think there’s like, there’s a feeling that, you know, that we got back when Stone Cold was standing up to Vince McMahon. I would make comparisons back to that because, you know, CM Punk has basically stepped outside the box and stopped being a nice guy and said what’s on everyone’s mind. But rather than being villainized for it, we all kind of support him on that and saying like wow, thank you, thank you for being the one to stand up and say something. So, there are a lot of us that, certainly over the summer it was probably the hottest topic in wrestling in years, and um I feel like going forward this match is going to be a determining factor in where the company goes as a whole.

Awesome news about Rock,He needs to shake off some ring rust..Plus it starts some extra build&interest for their WM match since their interaction before/during&after their match should should be darn interesting!!!

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

Ugh, Frank made a terrible He-Man. All that gray chest hair, and his old-man belly muffin- topping over the leather loin cloth ...

ROH Star Claudio Castagnoli Signs With WWE

Claudio Castagnoli has officially signed a WWE developmental deal and has reported to Florida Championship Wrestling. His new ring name is Antonio Cesaro.

Kings Of Wrestling Video!! hope they sign his tag partner Chris Hero

Dolph Lundgren's Punisher is the still best one out of the three! t:

I'm calling it now, The Rock and Cena vs Triple H and Alberto Del Rio at Survivor Series.

Nice, but I prefer it it was a 5 Vs. 5 Survivor Series classic eliminiation match.

Edit: John Cena, The Rock, CM Punk, John Morrison, and Kofi Kingston

Vs.

Alberto Del Rio, Triple H, The Miz, R-Truth, and Dolph Ziggler.

 

[The Sage]

Well I'll be...Claudio was given a name that doesn't suck! In fact, it sounds great...Antonio Cesaro.

 

[Project862006]

PWinsider also reports British Woman's Wrestler Britani Knight has signed a wwe development deal she currently Wrestles in SHIMMER she is only 19 but has already had 6-7 years of experience

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britani_Knight#cite_note-FanSite-0

 

[Pink Ranger]

John Cena, The Rock, John Morrison, Evan Bourne, and Kofi Kingston

Vs.

Alberto Del Rio, Triple H, The Miz, R-Truth, and Dolph Ziggler.

That's going to be great ring psychology there, when Evan tags off to the Rock and Truth tags off to HHH.

The two old adversaries slowly climb over the middle rope and stand still, at opposite sides, staring daggers at each other for like 30 seconds. The crowd goes nuts because they know some real **** is about to happen.

Adding all those other guys will just turn them into fodder.

I just hope WWE acknowledges the fact that Rock NEVER got even with HHH for what he did to him after WM17. That's one of the better maintained feuds in WWE as regardless of if either were face or heel they ALWAYS show animosity towards each other and very little respect (unlike Rock/Austin)

Sin Cara vs Sin Cara

 

[Pink Ranger]

Good move by Ted. He's interesting for the first time in a long time.

 

[NDX]

"The hip bone's connected to the leg bone!" "WHAT?!"



And how about that piped in cheers for AmDrag?

 

[Project862006]

booker's reaction to 2 sin cara's was as expected

WUT DA HELL

 

[Slushy]

Hey guys, I'm looking to get some TNA DVDs. What PPVs can you recommend for me?

I'm also for home video releases that have a documentary. I know Angle and Jarrett have theirs, but who else?

 

[NDX]

Well I'll be...Claudio was given a name that doesn't suck! In fact, it sounds great...Antonio Cesaro.

It's a great name, and it looks like he might keep his gimmick.

Would be nice to see an Anti-Gravity Airplane Spin in the 'E.

 

[Metallo]

Good move by Ted. He's interesting for the first time in a long time.

I was thinking the same thing. Its the most interesting thing I've seen from Ted Jr in a while. Lets hope they keep it up.

Stings Return of an Icon dvd has a decent documentary. I don't have many TNA dvd's myself (mostly because of availability lately) but I definitely recommend Angles dvd. Good documentary. The fact that TNA got Bruno Sammartino to discuss Angle gave it a lot of credibility. You can tell Bruno really admires Kurt as a wrestler.

As far as PPV's I'd recommend looking at the Bound For Glory dvd's first since its TNA's biggest ppv. And I guess the Destination X dvd's too.

 

[NDX]

Teddy J showed emotion? Still sucks. Shame, too, because he has a nice finisher.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

I ****ING LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE R-Truth and The Miz.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I was thinking the same thing. Its the most interesting thing I've seen from Ted Jr in a while. Lets hope they keep it up.

Cut to next week when he goes against Cody in a mixed tag match and gets pinned by Brie Bella.

 

[Project862006]

CM PUNK GONNA GET GOT

 

[NDX]

I can't stop smiling at this ending. I've been smiling since Edge officially ended the Cutting Edge.

 

[Superark]

Hey guys, I'm looking to get some TNA DVDs. What PPVs can you recommend for me?

I'm also for home video releases that have a documentary. I know Angle and Jarrett have theirs, but who else?

"Sting: Return of an Icon" DVD is decent given that it was during his first year back in TNA and they had basically no WCW footage of him.

Bound For Glory 2008 with Sting vs. Angle as the main event is a good wrestling PPV dvd to own. This was the best BFG PPV that TNA has ever put on IMO.

TNA's 2006 Genesis PPV is a good DVD to own. It was the first match between Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle and the crowd was insanely into it. Sting vs. Abyss was a good brawl that saw Sting surprisingly take a sick bump into the thumb tacks. There was a lot of other good wrestling on the show as well.

The Best of the X-Division DVD's are good if you're looking to buy compilations sets.

 

[Nemi]

I ****ING LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE R-Truth and The Miz.

What did they do?
