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

[venom892]

Give another Year I think Ziggler will be a main eventer. He's definitely better than Miz,Truth and others in the ring and those little clips show he has charisma to carry a promo.

 

[Lobo]

And IMO the loudest wrestler of all time.

WWE needs a jobber section to its HoF, Barry O, Iron Mike Sharpe, Barry Horrrowitz, and the Brooklyn Brawler would all be great additions.

@venom I agree Ziggle ris a future ME star. He's not quite ready just yet IMO, but he is being built properly.

 

[NDX]

He needs to get away from Vickie and show that charisma to a crowd larger than Zack's 15 followers (I kid, I kid). He can do it, he just now has to.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

This Nikki Bella in the dress.

 

[X Knight]

AJ!!

 

[Superark]

 

[TripleR]

The Rock just posted a Survivor Series poster to his Facebook giving the implication he'll be wrestling at the show, teaming with Cena. Can't wait for that show, so hyped I got tickets!

 

[TripleR]

"I'm not waiting til Wrestlemania 28.."

 

[kal-el1990]

I assume nobody has seen this yet??....

EDIT: IMAGE ABOVE!

Cannot wait!!

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Im buying that show. That is all.

 

[Wheels]

That is so going to be money. I wonder who they'll be facing?

 

[Hunter Rider]

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

Moviefone: How do you think WWE and pro wrestling needs to evolve as UFC and MMA grows in popularity?

"I don't think we have to evolve. It's two totally different things. I think now especially there's this thing like, "oh it's very similar."

I don't see us needing to evolve to what UFC does because quite frankly sometimes the fights are long and boring, guys lying around and sometimes the fights are fast and over in five seconds. I've always thought one of the things about us, if you look at us solely from a sports standpoint, is that we always give you a good show. We're never going to give you a crap game.

I think if anybody needs to evolve, it's them. Give more of an entertainment standpoint. Give more form; they just have fighters who walk in in T-shirts and shorts and just stand there and then they fight and then they win and then they go "thanks, I'd like to thank my sponsors" and then they leave. The whole world was up in arms when Brock was flipping people off and was cussing at the beer company because they didn't give him any money and everyone thought, "oh my god, he's disrespectful," -- the whole world was talking about it. They couldn't wait to see him get beat up. And then he did well, and he beat some guys and then people jump on his bandwagon going "Brock's the greatest." I'm good friends with Floyd Mayweather and Floyd would be the first to tell ya, "I make the most money in boxing and I have the biggest buyers because I have the biggest mouth." He'd be the first guy to tell you that. That's what it's about. Sports is entertainment."

CM Punk responded on Twitter this afternoon to Triple H's MMA comments: "RIDICULOUS!!!!! Laugh out loud ignorance."

I actually find myself agreeing with Triple H on this.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

I like MMA every blue moon.

 

[Metallo]

AJ!!

She's miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!

"I'm not waiting til Wrestlemania 28.."

Thats pretty cool. I figured Rock would be doing something at the show. Even working a tag in front of a big crowd will help him get some of the rust off for Mania. they need to do something to reignite this program because Wm28 is still a long way away.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Lol At Metallo. Dude, I called The Chickbusters when their were on NXT. Their mine.

 

[Metallo]

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

I'd like to see that.

Del Rio being HHH's corporate champion I assume? He gets the rub that he really needs right now but I wonder where that would leave Punk?

I actually find myself agreeing with Triple H on this.

I think they're both right. MMA definitely needs to stay ahead of the curve and continue to evolve because they can't do the same thing forever and not expect people's interest to wane. But it has the built in advantage in that its legit sports. Its always going to have a leg up on WWE in that regard as far as peoples perceptions.

But For HHH to say that they need to do it now more than WWE is silly. WWE is desperately in need of evolution (not THAT Evolution ) ASAP more than MMA which is what Punks recent run has been proving.

In the 80's and 90's WWE evolved with the times and tapped into them. They haven't done that for years. Its why Punk is a breath of fresh air. He has caused the show to evolve a little bit and shows how stale it was before. Like HHH said WWE is more entertainment so its something THEY need to keep aware of.

 

[chamber-music]

got to 1:27 LOL

another great heel ziggler segment

If Ziggler acted like that on TV he would actually get over and would move up the roster.

 

[spidey-dude]

i just came


I hope he wrestles some other matches before mania - im sure he would put over some up and comers

 

[Metallo]

Lol At Metallo. Dude, I called The Chickbusters when their were on NXT. Their mine.

"Let this be our final battle!"

 

[PyroChamber]

I see the battle for AJ still rages on.

 

[X Knight]

I see the battle for AJ still rages on.

and it always will......

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

"Let this be our final battle!"

i knew there was i reason i liked you.t:

 

[Pink Ranger]

So you're saying AJ gets to choose between Ivan Drago and Clare Quilty. Nice ...

 

[Metallo]

So you're saying AJ gets to choose between Ivan Drago and Clare Quilty. Nice ...

Or Frank Castle and Zorro...

Or Andrew Scott and Dracula

 

[Pink Ranger]

Or Frank Castle and Zorro...

Or Andrew Scott and Dracula

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