Wrestling: The Action Soap Opera Thread - Part 14

Alberto Del Rio lost at Wrestlemania and Extreme Rules matches...
So please someone explain that to me: I dont understand the push he got in the Royal Rumble. I mean, win the whole thing and lose the WM match and then become the number one contender and lose the next PPV match again?

 

[TX85]

Looking back at the Kane vs Mason match,I'm still very surprised how Mason fully became a bad-ass powerhouse out of nowhere!,He pushed down Kane as if he was a lightweight and 2nd push even send Kane to the outside/kept slamming him around the ring/blocked the chokeslam&taking him down/then speared Big Show where Show actually got some bit of air time!!

I was a fan of his in FCW,But few weeks after he came in and join Nexus I thought he would go nowhere and I thought Kane would squash him here,I'm very curious&interested
where they go with this.

With Punk&Nexus being confused,I'm guessing they won't be able to control him and mason will go kicking ass&taking names!?

 

[TX85]

Double post,sorry!

 

[Hunter Rider]

- Cena's angle to keep the belt until Mania being reignited.

- Mason Ryan being pushed and the hint at a face turn.

- Rey vs Del Rio AGAIN!?

These were the 3 worst booking decisions on Raw last night IMO. I thought the show was pretty crap in total but none of the other segments effect the overall product the way these three choices do.

I also think Miz was booked badly last night after a good performance.

 

[TheFuture]

Felt bad for Skidmarks in a way on Tough Enough, they were basically giving him a hard time for selling punches, I thought that's what they're meant to do? I don't think he was over selling anyway, it may have just seemed that way since the rest of them barely make a sound when "trading blows".

Having said that though, he was an idiot for how he behaved when Booker was talking, he deserved to be called out on that.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Props to Cena for pulling off that dropkick last night

 

[TX85]

I respect your opinion Hunter,But I'm just curious how&why Mason getting pushed&hinting at a face turn(I personally don't think it was a hint and he will remain a heel)would be a reason that would affect the overall product?????

IF you don't like him it as a wrestler then fine,But I just don't get how a low-mid carder like him(on TV so far)getting pushed or not and face or not would affect the product!!

I think he's an example of WWE not sticking to the plan. They plan things and put things in motion all the time but end up scrapping it for whatever reason.

why really a dropkick is a part of wrestling 101. its something everyone of decent physical size should be able to do in this business

B/c he does it once a year at the most. It's not part of his usual arsenal.

The push began last night with him single handedly taking out the two biggest monsters in the WWE, guys with a long tenure there. That's a sign that he will be Vince next muscle fetish push, the problem with that is that quality talent like Punk and Show will have to job out for a guy so green he has to avoid lawn mowers.

It should be another year or more before he gets any sort of push because it's clear as day he's terrible in the ring, he's wooden and clumsy, he needs to be developed before getting any sort of push.

 

[chapin]

I have one comment about the whole Mason thing: Why the spear? tt's getting old

He's been on his way out though. They blasted him for overselling in the third week and probably would've been cut then if he hadn't won that promo battle.

 

[Dr. Evil]

There's only one reason Mason Ryan is being pushed:

- Because Vince McMahon is insane enough to believe he's Dave Batista.

He's no Batista until he gets frisky with the Divas backstage........

 

[Johnny Drama]

Vince McMahon thought CM Punk looked like Jeff Hardy when he first came in so there's that. I wonder how many feuds start like that.

Totally agreed.

Ryan is as green as Batista was when he started and ut took Batista years to hit his stride. The company is worse creatively.

Vince's love of big jacked up men + lack of top stars = ridiculously too soon push. Ryan needs to stay under someones wing and learn the ropes...just like Batista did.
Him gettinf a monster singles push this early is only goign to expose how unskilled he is.

Rey and Del Rio need to stay apart until after Del Rio wins his first world title. Theres nothing left too be done with that program right now.

I can't see Cena keeping the belt a whole year. They'd have to shaft a couple of guys they have high hopes for.

The stupid part is Cena doesn't NEED the year long build with the belt to make it special. Rock vs Cena is already special. Hopefully Cena drops the title by The Rumble or if we're lucky Summerslam.

SPOILER: BIG FORMER WWF NAME DEBUTING FOR TNA TONIGHT

Joanie "[FONT=inherit ! important][FONT=inherit ! important]Chyna[/FONT][/FONT]" Laurer is backstage at the [FONT=inherit ! important][FONT=inherit ! important]TNA [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=inherit ! important][FONT=inherit ! important]Impact[/FONT][/FONT] taping and will debut in the role of [FONT=inherit ! important][FONT=inherit ! important]Kurt [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=inherit ! important][FONT=inherit ! important]Angle's[/FONT][/FONT] mistress. Yes, Chyna. So, we will be getting a reprisal of the Jeff Jarrett-Chyna rivalry from the WWF back when they feuded over the Intercontinental championship.

They've got to be kidding. [BLACKOUT]Chyna isn't the physical specimen she once was. This will only make people laugh since shes a punchline.[/BLACKOUT] I hope this is a short time deal.

As bad as an idea as it is I'd rather Angles mystery lady have been Isis the Amazon. It least thats fresh. Isis is debuting in TNA soon so I'm curious to see if they can use her as a monster. WWE were stupid to mishandle her since she's an attraction just standing there but I don't have much hope that TNA will use her any better.

My gawd, TNA, really?

Is funny every time Cena gets more heel heat than the actual heel he wrestles.

Here's my interview with Rima Fakih from Tough Enough.

So she mentions Austin vs. Hitman Hart at Wrestlemania 13 as her favorit match. She is a wrestling fan.

She'll sign with the WWE when her Miss USA duties end.

Thats a much better answer than that other girls stupid answer.

What, Melina vs Alicia Fox doesn't rank alongside such classics as Steamboat/Savage?
