Wrestling: The Action Soap Opera Thread - - Part 15

"Some of the writers feel that Vince is all of a sudden not happy with the rosters again," a key WWE insider revealed exclusively to WrestleZone this evening, "and we've already done the draft!"
Vince is reportedly also not happy with the current babyface/heel rosters, and thinks there are several people "on the wrong side of the fence."

hmm

 

[StarkvsRogers]

...So Vince wants Del Rio on Smackdown basically?

Evan Bourne haircut comment on Ziggler.

Disagree about the Zig Zag. It's a good finish, IMO.

Thanks for reading. Glad you had a laugh!

Vince is reportedly also not happy with the current babyface/heel rosters, and thinks there are several people "on the wrong side of the fence.

Now, is this just an elaboration on Vince feeling that people are on the wrong shows, or does this mean Vince is also unhappy with who is a face and who is a heel right now?

 

[NDX]

I'm thinking both. There are probably a few people who could be moved around when it comes to being face or heel.

 

[The Sage]

I see we're gonna have another debate on mic talent. Should be fun...

Miz was sounding like Jericho-lite for a long time but in the last month or so he's sounded less like a limitation and more of his own persona. Glad to see that.

Not sure if I agree with Cody being better than him. Punk and Cena, yeah they are.

Ive always wondered what would happen to someones if Big Show wound up and actually punched someone dead in the face

There was an real life altercation with a guy named Robert Sawyer that Paul had back in 1999.

Even though the guy was 6'6 Paul broke his jaw with a single punch.

Before Raw started tonight, former WWE Tag Team Champion Trevor Murdoch wrestled in the event's dark match. He was defeated by Evan Bourne.

PWTorch.com is reporting that this past Friday night's edition of WWE Smackdown drew a final 1.73 cable rating, which is down from the previous week's 1.94 draw, making it the lowest number the show has drawn in 2011.

PWInsider.com is reporting that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is being advertised for the June 13th WWE Raw taping at the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, New York. The taping is the first of two back-to-back 3 hour Raw shows, and is the week after the Tough Enough season finale

This is just what we were talking about a few months ago. I said there was a chance some of that music might not make it onto the dvd.

From Lordsofpain.net:

THQ on WWE Tough Enough, WWE Keeps Nas Song on DVD, Nunzio, Christian
By Marc Middleton
May 10, 2011 - 5:48:08 AM

- As noted before, the WWE Divas will be featured on next week's episode of Tough Enough. THQ, makers of WWE All Stars and SmackDown vs. RAW, will also be on the show. Here's the official preview from USA:

The Injuries Pile Up on the Next Tough Enough, Monday at 8/7C!
And then there were six. Stone Cold Steve Austin enlists the help of four sexy WWE Divas and THQ video games to teach the remaining contestants all about creativity. In the ring, a tough training session leads to a serious injury that puts one contestant's dreams in jeopardy.

- Christian will be appearing at the Cricket store in Louisville, Kentucky on July 30th at 3pm.

- Nunzio was back with WWE last night working as a referee on RAW.

- WWEDVDNews reports that while WWE edited The Undertaker's use of "Ain't No Grave" and Triple H's use of Metallica's "For Whom The Bell Tolls" from the WrestleMania 27 DVD, they kept The Miz's video package that used "Hate Me Now" by Nas.

It'll be interesting to see if its true. Too bad if it is because I liked Triple H's entrance. Somebody get the dvd today and let us know later.

I'm getting the blu ray but won't be able to watch it until tonight. I also heard Austin flipping the bird was edited out. Removing "Ain't no Grave" is
odd , they used it ever since Taker's return. I was expecting the metallica song might not make it but I can live with that. I'm glad they at least kept the Nas song though

 

[Johnny Drama]

Pretty lame on WWE's part for editing out Takers entrance...

 

[Nemi]

I'm guessing that Vince is having one of his mood swings again. Hopefully it won't go to far, one of the things that's hurting both companies is not being consistent.

 

[BlackLantern]

Way to put him down.

Keepin it real, man

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

BL, destroyer of dreams and hopes.

 

[Nemi]

He'll be featured as the main villian of season 6 of Supernatural where it will be ''all about the hopes and dreams''

 

[Pink Ranger]

BL, destroyer of dreams and hopes.

I know, BL was the one who revealed to me Kamala isn't from Uganda, Shockmaster isn't really a robot and that they usually remove and burn the ring apron after Melina does her splits on it.

I call buzzkill on you sir, BUZZKILL!!!

 

[Dr. Evil]

Pretty lame on WWE's part for editing out Takers entrance...

The rights to use the song probably ended right after Wrestlemania 27, which is probably why the entrance was edited out. Same for Metallica. They were only able to use both for a limited time and if they used it any further, they would probably have to pay a significant amount. I doubt the WWE wants to do that when they could easily revert back to their current themes.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

I never knew Fergal Devitt was doing so well under the name ''Prine Devitt''. He trained me a few times, super nice guy.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

I still recall the days I was defending Miz's push in here and Nell was one of the biggest haters!
Opinions change.
We just need to make a CM Punk fan out of him and he'll be peaches.

Yup. I used to absolutely despise The Miz.

I like CM Punk. Now that he's away from that Straight Edge Society garbage, he's pretty golden. But I don't like him more than The Miz. The Miz is reaching top 10 all time favorite status. I doubt CM Punk will ever be one of my all time favorites.

Yes they changed it. I got the DVD at midnight last night at WalMart and the first thing I checked was those entrances I was curious about.

I did see that they kept "Hate Me Now" and DMX in tact for The Miz and John Cena's entrance, but yea the entrance for Triple H sounded different, and they just went back to Undertaker's regular entrance music. Disappointed.

 

[BlackLantern]

Wonder if Miz can keep the heat he has garnered without the title.

I'm hoping Punk gets away from this Nexus crap.

What's the point of Nexus anymore, anway?
Otunga and Mcgillicutty are forgotton about.
Ryder gets more time than them. Mason is boring.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

When Punk first took over Nexus it was absolute gold. But even though I like Orton better than I like Punk, I didn't like how they booked that feud. Except for the night when Punk taunted Orton's "wife", and then bashed Orton's knee in with the lead pipe, Punk never once got over on Orton. You can't book a feud like that.
