The Wrestling Thread will give you all the stuffing you can handle

[ImWithTeamConan]

After hearing about this I was really worried that the WWE was gonna screw this up and just feed them to Ryback and Cena.

I am really hoping that they have a little more sense than that, they have a chance with these three to set the company up for the next ten years, my God.

Oh, and this has Heyman's fingerprints all over it, I'd wager.

For the people making Ambrose/Joker comparisons you are spot on. His character is like The Joker mixed with "Loose Cannon" Brian Pillman. His wrestling style of course is very old school. He's more Piper influenced than anything in terms of wrestling.

I want to see Ziggler vs Ambrose at some point, because the selling in that match would be off the charts.

Ambrose and Rollins might be better wrestlers, but Reigns gives me that "next big thing" vibe.

I have a feeling "the shield" is gonna make their "true" mark by taking out The Great One at the Rumble. It would make the most sense to me.

Well in Ambrose's case he's better on the mic as well, but I get your point. Reigns: has that look and everything that Vince loves. He's going to be a top face at some point.

I see that too, but it also reminds me of the similar "intuitive" expectations I had of Shad Gaspard and Ted Dibiase Jr.

Perfect analogy, and exactly what I've thought since I started watching him.

Was I the only one to pick a veiled reference to A.J. Styles on last night? I think it was before the Kane match, they posted a tweet by some celebrity about making out with a WWE Superstar "AJ Style"?

 

[The Sage]

- Rosa Mendes followed up her RAW storyline with Alberto Del Rio last night with this tweet:

"Tonight on #Raw #Butterflies #Goosebumps"

- Meanwhile, AJ Lee commented on John Cena after their storyline progressed last night:

"Yeah. @JohnCena can see me."

- Wrestling stars appearing at the Wizard World Comic-Con in New Orleans this coming weekend include WWE Champion CM Punk, Lita, The Bella Twins and Maryse.

- We noted before that there were people pushing for Ryback to take the WWE Title from CM Punk at Survivor Series and then have Punk win it back at TLC.

Vince McMahon was all for Punk retaining the title at Survivor Series and there was a feeling among some that one of the reasons Vince is so against someone else ending Punk's reign is because of how The Rock would react. The Rock has been under the impression for some time that he would be the one to end Punk's reign at the Royal Rumble.

I never had that feeling for Shad, I think I'd take Titus o'neil over Shad personally.

I've been truly surprised that TD jr. hasn't done more so far in his career.

Like it was said Roman has the "Vince" look, but I think he can actually get over with the universe, without being shoved down our throat like a Ryback/Cena. I HOPE anyway...

I agree. I see lots of potential in Reigns.

 

[Lobo]

Agreed I spoke to HR abouth him in VMs almost a year ago. He was Leakee back then, and we all know Samoans have a pretty good track record in wrestling

It' s funny how WWE was trying to create an Austin moment for Ryback at the beginning of RAW. Maybe WWE should call him Slightly Chilly Ryan Reeves lol.

 

[Wheels]

WWE legend Mick Foley offered high praise of Dean Ambrose. "You have no idea how relieved I am to see @theDeanAmbrose on Raw," Foley wrote. "He's going to be a major player in WWE for a long time to come."

It was Michelle beadle, she is gonna be at tribute to the troops. She was asking if she was gonna be forced to make out with someone Aj, style, and if so she wanted to choose who.

Lol it's terrible how they try and do anything to get him over, I understand the children, but I can't see how grown men will chant his garbage.

I see a lot of birds on this page that need stuffing.

Someone posted an interesting theory in regards to Shield/Punk and Heyman

Paul Heyman hired The Shield to protect Punk because deep down he feels Punk is too weak to hold on to the title by himself. The way Heyman is always seen clutching the title to his chest might suggest that he is using Punk to forge himself a position of power. Eventually Punk discovers this and starts to doubt himself. This causes Punk to lose to the Rock at the Rumble. Heyman dumps Punk, BAM Punk face turn (too soon?). Heyman could then get Lesnar involved somehow.

But I thought the idea was for Punk to solidify the top heel spot?

 

[Anno_Domini]

Although I'd be totally fine with a Punk/Lesnar feud.

The only thing that messes up that theory is that the HHH/Lesnar feud which would be setting up a rematch in WM 29.

Totally not needed. It would just be for the benefit of Helmsly stroking his ego and getting his 'return the favour' rub. A potential Punk/Lesnar feud and match would be so much more appealing.

Well this heel run sucks so I'm cool with the idea.
