Wrestling: The Action Soap Opera Thread - Part 14

thing is, wwe will also just push orton into a new feud and forget that christian was ever champion

Yes there is that slight(and by slight I mean 60% chance) possibility.

 

[Johnny Drama]

This whole outcry/backlash whatever you want to call it is pretty amusing, I honestly don't remember when last something like this had fans all freaking out.

 

[Kaleb]

Ohh

 

[Darkness Falls]

his expression was hilarious

 

[Benstamania]

His head looks photoshopped, lol.

 

[Darkness Falls]

storyline or not this christian situation is bull****
it makes me even more tired of orton than i already am

 

[venom892]

I just can't see Vince turning Orton Heel.Vince seems to want Orton as the top face of his brand.Smackdown's Cena.So I strongly believe he won't be turned heel.

 

[Heretic]

This doesn't really need to be said...but Bobby Roode is main event material...

I was just about to say this, you beat me to it. The whole reason they moved the draft up and ruined their plans for the summer was to put Orton on SD as the top face in place of Edge. A heel turn for Orton now would make that move pointless.

I didn't say EVERYBODY watches out of habit. I didn't say YOU watch out of habit. I said PEOPLE watch out of habit. That could be ten people or it could be ten thousand people.

Point out where I said anything specific and said YOU or EVERYBODY. Otherwise *****e out that sand because I imagine that can't be good for you.

And yeah some people DO watch out of habit. Even some people here have admitted that. How am I assuming anything when people have admitted they do it? Some people have said wrestling sucks to them lately but they watch it just to check out whats going on and maybe hoping something good will catch their eye.

And how do YOU know how people beyond just the "IWC" feel about this Christian situation. Do you even know exactly how big the "IWC" is. What exactly defines the IWC? have you actually tracked down and counted EVERY person in the world thats gotten on a computer to talk about wrestling? Do you have ACTUAL backed up figures? Sounds like your assuming yourself.

Like I said if the IWC didn't matter and if they were such a minority why the f*** is WWE so worried about wrestling fans online watching their content illegally? Shouldn't the IWC just be a drop in the bucket? The IWC ain't the majority...but maybe JUST maybe the IWC isn't as small as you think and maybe the definition isn't as easy as it was in 1995. maybe the IWC isn't made up of that small stereotype of fans who made it up 15 years ago. The internet has grown a whole hell of a lot since that term was coined and a lot more fans have the ability talk about Wrestling online since being online is a common thing for EVERYONE these days.

When ten year old little Johnny Cenafan goes online to a WWE provided chat and talks about Cena to other people doesn't that TECHNICALLY make him part of the IWC? He's on the internet...talking about wrestling...with other people. Putting this specific label on what the IWC is and how small it is is so f***in outdated in this day in age. WRESTERS are talking about wrestling online. Doesn't that make THEM part of the IWC too? Hulk Hogans on twitter for f***s sake! So is The Rock! Even WWE uses things like Twitter and facebook these days to promot and have fans interact. Wrestling fans...interacting...in an online community! *shock*

The IWC isn't as small as WWE would like you to believe. It ain't that big but their own worry about certain things and people finding out spoilers online shows that it isn't AS small ether.

When you go to an arena where WWE is holding a show and you have a crowd of 20000 people where a SIZABLE portion knows whats going to happen how the hell do you think they learned about it? Probably on the internet!

Do you think The magical wrestling fairy told all those people that Kong signed with WWE when people were chanting her name at the Royal Rumble?

I think people underestimate the IWC. Basically anyone who uses the internet could be a potential IWC member.

 

[Metallo]

Yes there is that slight(and by slight I mean 60% chance) possibility.

It could very well be dropped. Remember when we all thought Punk was going to have a big feud with Cena? Got dropped in favor of (groan) The Miz vs Cena. So Vince has no problem dropping something if he feels something else will be better.

Hopefully Orton vs Christian continues until The Cap'n gets the title back. But I'm not holding my breath.

I think people underestimate the IWC. Basically anyone who uses the internet could be a potential IWC member.

Exactly my point. The internet has become SUCH a common thing in most of the lives of most younger people that who knows how many WWE fans talk about WWE online. WWE is promoting itself online for crying out loud and ENCOURAGING people to talk about WWE online.

This isn't the mid 90's when the pro wrestling business hated the net with a passion and assumed it was TINY minority. WWE has learned to accept that the internet is a part of the business now (good or bad) and they've begun to use it for themselves.

We've got more and more WRESTLERS with facebook and myspace and twitter and all kinds of other social networking. That would have been unheard of even ten years ago.

Whats Rock call his facebook fans again?

This doesn't really need to be said...but Bobby Roode is main event material...

He did indeed cut a good promo. Thats what happens when you don't have to read all your stuff off a script and instead get to do a bit more of the talking your own way.

 

[Heretic]

In my opinion, Sheamus dropped his title so he could move up to feud with Orton. Christian will likely end up losing a rematch, and then segueing into an upper card feud with Mark Henry or Wade Barrett (I think he's still on Smackdown...)

If that happens its one of the dumbest moves WWE has made in years. If they give Christian the rub now he could help give some of those OTHER guys you just mentioned the rub later.

Sheamus or Barrett beating a Christian with even one strong world title reign means a lot more than them beating a Christian who lost his title in 2 days.

Thats exactly what they did with JBL. Gave him one solid reign and he used that to help put other people over later. They've done that a lot of times.

SuperCena and Randy Resthold don't lose enough to put people over by losing to them so SOMEBODY has to do it right? Why not build somebody up to do it?

 

[Johnny Drama]

 

[Metallo]

WWE or TNA could REALLY use him right now. Especially TNA. That is if they would actually bother to listen to him.

 

[Darkness Falls]

 

[Kaleb]

For those wondering if punk will not resign with wwe and head to TNA should take a look at his latest tweet (would post but there is a bit of language)

 

[Metallo]

I don't think anyone with any sense expected Punk to go to TNA. Why would he? If he wants BS he may as well stay in WWE because if he goes to TNA all he will deal with is BS for less cash.

Plus lets be honest he's worked in TNA and the indies before. Maybe he wants to end his career on the big stage making a lot of money. His best years are still ahead of him so he'd better use them to make a good living.

WWE isn't exactly treating him well but TNA would treat him worse with nonsense.

 

[Metallo]

Wait...on TNA they have Karen accusing a woman of sleeping with or dating a high ranking wrestler to get a push?

That would never happen in wrestling right? Never? This segment is TOTALLY unbelievable.

 

[Kane52630]

oh Velvet Sky and your ice cream colored hair....

 

[Metallo]

This whole Jarret/Angle story is terrible but Velvet Sky might be the hottest looking woman in wrestling today.

A woman sleep with a wrestler to get a push? Thats just not believable!

For those wondering if punk will not resign with wwe and head to TNA should take a look at his latest tweet (would post but there is a bit of language)

Whats the jist of what he said? I don't follow him on Twitter.

 

[The Batman]

I'm glad people love christian enough to be mad about this. Christian has been deserving of main event status since 05.

 

[Metallo]

Whats the jist of what he said? I don't follow him on Twitter.

He more or less asked someone why they were even watching this sh** (meaning TNA Impact).

 

[Kaleb]

Whats the jist of what he said? I don't follow him on Twitter.

His was asking one of his friends(who was giving updates of tna impact) why is he even watching that S#*t
