Wrestling: The Action Soap Opera Thread - Part 14

I hope Mason shows more charisma in the bedroom than he does in the ring if he wants to be Dirty Dave II

Vince is so scared of another Brock Lesnar situation that he doesn't want to push people, and I mean REALLY push them. Not hotshot guys and then rarely have them win matches. You need to build guys up not cut them down. When Vince told the shareholders that losing Edge won't hurt the bottom line I couldn't help but laugh. You've lost 4 main eventers in a little over a year, give me a break.

WWE needs to let guys get themselves over, and focus on doing quality PPVs and PPV promotion. UFC does TNA numbers on Spike but their turnover is huge, and their kicking WWE's ass.

If Vince had put any more spin on that comment about Edge and building new stars he would have drilled right into the ground Superman style.

I agree with you they seem to be afraid of really committing to building new talent. Seems like some guys almost get over these days in spite of WWE's efforts not because of them.

They don't have to super push the newer talent but they should build them up slowly but steadily. But WWE's way of doing it is to give them the world and then pull the rug right out from under them a short time later. Yeah yeah we know its some kind of test, Vince but thats not how you lay a foundation for a star.

If you give a talent a push SLOWLY and make them earn it you won't have to worry about them getting a big head.

Right now WWE is throwing stuff against the wall and seeing what sticks. If a guy doesn't immediately swim instead of sink he's allowed to drop right to the bottom. Thats not the talents fault because they weren't properly prepared. You have to learn how to swim before you can do it and these guys can't and they are weighted down with WWE's expectations.

hope they both recover

I hope Helms and his girlfriend get well soon. Sounds like a really bad accident. I read that she broke her neck but I'm not sure if thats true. I hope she didn't.

I agree. Christian is a really good example of how you build someone up to the main event. Well, probably not a GREAT example, since the guy was hell overdue...but we as fans have seen this guy progress to become the man and world champion he is today.

The emotion of him holding that title is real. As a fan I feel it. This is a guy that was once a part of Gangrel's stable. E&C. He even knicked off to TNA for a cup of coffee and some donuts before coming back better than ever.

When I see Cena win a WWE title for the (10th?) time, I see nothing but boring feuds, matches and cookie cutter promos.

My point is, it's refreshing to see a guy work his way to the belt instead of watching them force Miz, Sheamus, Rey, Swagger, etc into holding the title because suddenly their lack of forward vision rings alarm bells.

Helms and his Girlfriend recovering( kind of graphic)

[RetroNaz]

Ouch. Poor guy!

So, the big question is:

Would Batista have tapped Kharma?

That's the "feud" I most look forward to when he returns.

the thing is if kharma wanted to would big dave have a say in the mattert:

You don't f*** Karma. Karma f***s you. Big Dave better buckle up and brace for impact when that awesome bomb gets dropped on him

 

[Wheels]

If Batista returns, then pushing Mason Ryan or as I like to call him Nu Batista, is a waste of time. The only purpose Ryan serves is to fill Batista's spot, and if Dave returns Nu Batista is screwed.

 

[SuperFerret]

Batista can be on Raw and Ryan can be Smackdown's Batista.

 

[Project862006]

they can be a tag team lie skip and zip the new bella twins

 

[Wheels]

Batista can be on Raw and Ryan can be Smackdown's Batista.

One Batista is enough and sometimes too much.

 

[Johnny Drama]

One Batista is enough and sometimes too much.

Says you, but somewhere in the world there is a Melina getting wet at the thought of being the meat in a Batista Bros sandwich, and John Morrison is screaming out loud and throwing around furniture

 

[bullets]

bullets LOL Rosa has been in wwe since 2008 btw

As Ron Simmons would say DAMN! I never really noticed her , lol.

 

[Specter313]

As Ron Simmons would say DAMN! I never really noticed her , lol.

Considering how little she's been used since they stopped having her be Beth Phoenix's obsessed shadow, I don't think too many others have noticed her either.

Maybe they could do Batista vs Batista. It worked real well for Kane and Undertaker right?

 

[NDX]

BAWtista vs Fauxtista? Oh, oh god, I want to cry just thinking about it. And that is not a good cry.

Kane and Taker had personalities. Plus, their original feud is unbeatable if only because it had a body count.

Whatchu talkin bout? Batista and Ryan could deliver a catch as catch can classic. Undertaker vs Underfaker was a classic bout

Vince loves the taste of suffering so your crying will only make him stronger.

You missed my sarcasm emoticon.

I said Batista vs Batista in the sense of Undertaker vs Undertaker or Kane vs Kane.

 

[Darkness Falls]

kharma's entrance theme is awesome

 

[TX85]

Kong's theme is old-school,WCW'96-'98/WWE's Attitude Era type of feel and I f'n love it!!!

 

[Wheels]

kharma's entrance theme is awesome

Everything about Kharma is awesome. She's one of the best female workers out there. Her presentation from the promotionai videos to the music, to the attacks on the the divas. Both WWE and Kharma are doing a great job with this character.

 

[Darkness Falls]

my day was made when she took out alicia fox

 

[Wheels]

The fact she allegedly got heat for Fox's jaw injury angers me. That was a clear botch by Fox; It's not Kharma's fault she can't work.
