The Wrestling Thread was not an extra in The Hobbit - Part 102

[TheNextNolan22]

Allegedly he was a wrestler.

Was he a 'Murican wrassler? He sounds more Canadian.

Where is Shawn saying all of this? Something to keep in mind is the newz sites have a tendency to stitch together stories from fragments of info they get.

The specific thing about Bryan and Ziggler not being who He and Mcmahon discussed was said by him on Twitter.

 

[sweetre15]

The champs.

Like Mother, Like Daughter XD

 

[Benstamania]

I didn't know that a fat trimmed MNR was on Hulu Plus. I haven't watched Raw since before Punk left. Orton finally turn heel?

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Still a face.....for now.

 

[Anno_Domini]

Are we seriously having an all face MITB ladder match and an all heel MITB ladder match? Lol.

 

[TX85]

I like it,something different once in a while and for a title shot than good vs evil all the damn time!!

The casuals may get confused or something But I don't give a damn about them in this case,I'll be cheering for faces I like and for heels I like!!

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I like the idea. All the heels are up and comers sans Jack Swagger and the faces are all-stars.

 

[Anno_Domini]

It's a smart idea, but for the casual fan they will be booing for the all heel one basically except for the smarks.

 

[TX85]

Let them boo,Some will probably cheer during the match IF it's good anyway except very mixed for whoever wins

 

[TheNextNolan22]

It's in Philly. Expect a very hot, smart-mark crowd. I expect Cesaro and Ambrose to be the favorites.

 

[bullets]

Can someone tell me why this is funny?

It's funny because Chris Benoit is dead. Amirite?

R.I.P. Matt Borne A.K.A. the original Doink The Clown.

No. Not you Doink I remember his matches were feature heavily on the best of raw season one and two a few years back.

Are we seriously having an all face MITB ladder match and an all heel MITB ladder match? Lol.

It will be interesting to see how the fans react. Perhaps we'll get a couple face/heel turns out of this.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Still don't know who this "Benoit" guy is.

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Still don't know who this "Benoit" guy is.

Apparently he was a wrestler who may or may not have been Canadian but after unsuccessfully trying to find him on WWE.com and looking for dvds of him in WWE shop I gave up.

 

[Slushy]

Christian Vs. Cena and Rhodes Vs. Ziggler would be cool for SummerSlam.

Doink Scared The Ever Loving Sh** Out Of The Wrestling Thread As A Kid

Matt Bourne played The Clown to perfection. Honor him.

Oh well, I guess it's just one of those urban legends that's in peoples imaginations.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

It was reported earlier that WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels (@ShawnMichaels) told Ministry of Slam that he recently had a conversation with WWE Chairman Mr. Vince McMahon about a certain unnamed Superstar who McMahon is not a fan of. The rumor got out that it was Daniel Bryan, but Shawn Michaels has taken to his Twitter and revealed that whoever it is is not Daniel Bryan, and is a Superstar who stands at 6'3" and weighs in at 250 pounds: "RT:"@BScott12492: Who exactly was the guy in question during you & Vince's convo?" -- I would have said if I thought relevant. Not DB tho."
"@yourboymikeyp. No, the guy is actually 6'3 250, ironically, y'all miss the same point he did. Amusing since everyone's knocking him."
"@Abbottude. Well, I didn't measure or weigh him, it's a guess. Therefore, in their eyes I am a LIAR!!!"
"@joderjoderjoder. UGH!! Respectfully, this is why I rarely talk wrestling, no one takes the fun out of it faster. #letitgo"

I wonder who that particular person is?

 

[PyroChamber]

I wonder who that particular person is?

This is Vince we're talking about, so it could be pretty much anybody.

Like I've always said; you can be the most over, most respected, and the most talented wrestler according to the fans and everyone in the WWE (HHH and Steph included) but if Vince doesn't like you then none of that really matters.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

Who?

Are you Vince McMahon or an WWE employee?,Every time somebody mentions Benoit your with that"who?"bs,You damn well know who!

I have no idea what you're talking about, I've never seen or heard of this guy in my life. I've tried searching WWE.com and his name doesn't come up. I've looked through wwe videos and his name doesn't come up either there. Also, I've searched WWE on demand on my Verizon fios and his name doesn't come up.

I thought he was just a myth.

He has to be. I can't find anything on him.

Really, who is this "Crispin Wah"?

Now you know!

I'm still mad that my suggestion for the thread title wasn't used.

The champs.

These 2 can do whatever they want to me, whenever they want to.

I'd be surprised if it's Roman Reigns to be honest.

Someone tried to tell me that he was a world champion at one point, but all I could find was Eddie Guerrero.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

What was your thread title suggestion, Nell?

 

[Hunter Rider]

LOL,Still can't believe she said that and especially live!
[YT]wzz2n9xC8ps[/YT]

It looks so scripted, I wouldn't be surprised if Vince wrote it and got Stephanie to say it as she'd get less flack than him.

The specific thing about Bryan and Ziggler not being who He and Mcmahon discussed was said by him on Twitter.

I see the tweets now, he didn't actually mention Ziggler, just Bryan. Given the size I think he may be talking about Cesaro as Shawn admits he was just guessing at the exact height/weight.

 

[Van Petrol]

I'm really starting to think it is indeed Drew McIntyre that Shawn is referring to. Drew's stats are about 6'4 to 6'5 and 254lbs, close to the approximate stas Shawn gave. The only other guy's who come in close to those stats on the main roster is probably Fandango, Reigns and Sandow. What's selling it for me though is Shawn's refusal to name the guy as he thinks it's not relevant anymore and that Vince and others are missing the point and that he finds it ironic that everyone is knocking him. If he were talking about Bryan, Ziggler, Cesaro, Sandow, Reigns, etc. I doubt he'd say that, as although Vince and the company may not be high on them, fans are.

It was also widely reported across the internet wrestling grapevine back when Drew debuted in 2009 that both Trips and Shawn were high on him, big fans and supporters and saw huge potential in him. It was also said that they were two of the biggest driving forces behind his early push and not necessarily Vince.
