The Wrestling Thread Worked Its Butt Off To Get Where It Is Today. - - Part 74

[TheFuture]

You're more likely to see three/two FUs finishing off Punk, I can't see Cena walking away empty handed once more unless Lesnar interferes.

 

[Anno_Domini]

I hope that Rock Bottom by Punk is foreshadowing a Punk/Rock feud.

 

[Hunter Rider]

hmm I may have to watch the main event

Cena sold that one much better than the one at Mania.

 

[The Chris]

Cena sold that one much better than the one at Mania.

Yeah I noticed how too. I couldn't stand how he jumps for the rock bottom. Butt all sticking out. Makes it look stupid. Especially that first rock bottom at mania. He jumped like it was a chokeslam.

 

[Team Andino]

Has Del Rio won anything in this overly long drawn out feud yet? It feel likes Orton/Cena from years ago with even more boring characters involved.

 

[NDX]

He's won the ire of millions of wrestling fans.

- WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz spoke with WWE.com after retaining his title at Night of Champions. Miz announced earlier in the night that he would be filing a formal complaint against Booker T. Miz said he will no longer be filing the complaint because he defeated three main event Superstars blind-folded and he's happy with that. Miz dubbed himself the must most-see Intercontinental Champion of all-time.

- PWInsider reports that there has been no talk within WWE of Jerry Lawler not returning to commentary but there has been talk of him never wrestling again. While doctors told Lawler that he could get in the ring if he wanted to, doctors are not advising it for his longterm health.

On a related note, they add that Vince McMahon told Lawler to do what he needs to do so he can get better and that his commentary job is safe. Vince was said to be shaken up and very concerned over the whole situation with Lawler's health.

- WWE Champion CM Punk recently spoke with The Sun in the UK. Here are some highlights from the interview that took place before Night of Champions:

Wrestling The Rock:
"Anybody that doesn’t want to wrestle The Rock is pretty foolish. He’s not around a lot, so to get an opportunity to wrestle him, it’s a slim chance. I might have a shot at him at the Royal Rumble if I get past John Cena, and that right now is my goal. The Rumble is a while away, but hopefully I stay the champ until then."

Getting pissed off at The Rock's return:
"Rock being back, I guess, puts a lot of eyes on our product. In that respect it’s a good thing. I have a lot of pride in what I do, and I’m proud of the WWE, and their superstars and divas that are on the road 365 days a year. It’s a very cold business, it’s a very ‘what have you done for me lately?’ business. When somebody walks in and gets afforded opportunities that people are in line for and people are busting their ass for, you’re damn right I’m going to get pissed off about it. It’s only logical; it isn’t sour grapes. It isn’t whining. It’s a fact. I said it, I was vocal about it. I said it to his face. That’s just the kind of guy I am. Listen, if I disappear for 5-8 years and I come back, I only hope there is someone as angry and as hungry, with a chip on their shoulder, just like me, to tell me the same thing: ‘Hey, I can do everything you’re doing, and I’m doing it every day.’ I don’t hate The Rock, I don’t hate Dwayne. There honestly aren’t any hard feelings, there’s nothing anything personal. It has motivated me to work harder and to prove everybody wrong. That’s what I do."

His upcoming DVD:
"I definitely had the last say in what matches went on there. When I saw the story and how it edited together, I wanted to pick matches that accentuate that story. I watched it with a couple of friends of mine. It’s pretty bizarre; it’s like I’m at my own funeral. It’s all these people I love and respect on there talking about me and seeing my entire career on a WWE DVD. It’s surreal."

[Dr. Evil]

Why is it that the WWE hasn't done anything with Susan G Komen before last night? Think of all of the positive publicity that they would have had had they done this earlier.

 

[X Knight]

glad that Punk still retained.....although I'd have preferred if he beat the crap out of Cena and beat him clean in Cena's hometown......

oh, and what's this I hear of AJ getting all wet??!!

Of course Vince was. Lawler nearly dropped dead on his watch. Would have shattered Linda's political aspirations.

Oh, and possibly put a black mark on the WWE until they retcon Lawler out of existence.

 

[Kaleb]

JR doing commentry tonight.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I've got myself a grilled sirloin, corn on the cob and WWE Raw on a perfectly legal stream. My life is awesome.

 

[epc11223]

i'm going to be one unhappy camper if there isn't a new championship belt tonight!

 

[Benstamania]

Cena's new shirt in the opening video already, lol.

 

[NDX]

He has a new shirt? Damn.

RAW or Bones? RAW or Bones?

 

[Soapy]

I thought for sure they were going to show a new belt last night with the way Punk was hiding it under his hoodie.

 

[Benstamania]

New title tonight I'd bet.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Brock/Punk vs. Cena/HHH at Survivor Series.

 

[Benstamania]

Audience still split haha.

 

[Specter313]

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Where is Raw tonight?

 

[Specter313]

Oh, and:

 

[The Sage]

They showed the german suplex spot. Not bad.

 

[NDX]

Dammit, RAW is drawing me in since I can watch Bones on demand. I'll see what happens when the 9 PM hour rolls around. Give it that long at least.
