You Got A Problem With The Wrestling Thread? Put It In A Handicap Match!

[Van Petrol]

Just hope we get a definitive conclusion to the match at TLC. If they pull that screwy title swapping finish, then any hope for Punk or Bryan being anywhere near the ME of WM30 would severely decrease, imo.

That's all well and good, but not all of us like Rizzoli & Isles as much as you do.

That's the problem. Everyone should.

- As noted, top WWE prospect Davey Richards announced on Facebook that he is done with Ring of Honor and will not be appearing at their December 14th Final Battle event. Word is that the WWE tryout that Richards and partner Eddie Edwards recently participated in has nothing to do with the ROH departure. Edwards is still booked for the event.

The statement from Richards on Facebook was something done on his own and not part of a planned ROH angle. Richards was removed from the last set of ROH shows in Ohio and Michigan after company officials were upset about comments he made in the UK's Total Wrestling Magazine about how the ROH titles were not as important as they once were. Richards was able to get himself back on the dates and made it a point to say in front of the locker room that his comments in the magazine were incorrect and taken out of context.

Richards tweeted this afternoon, making it clear that WWE did not have anything to do with his removal from Final Battle:

"To clarify, it was ROH offices decision to not have me at Finall Battle. Not mine or any other company's."

What's the point in giving us the WrestleMania main event two PPV's before WrestleMania? And what do they do with the Rumble winner? The TLC match will probably be better than the WrestleMania match if it's Cena vs Orton again. They've never had a really good regular singles match together and the TLC gimmick will actually add something to the match.

They take on The Game-uh because it's best for business-uh.

If I told you what I've heard is the preliminary idea for that, I think you'd spew all over your keyboard, lol. I'm really, really hoping it doesn't play out that way.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Final Battle is in 2 weeks and aside from the main event, nothing on the card looks like it belongs on ROH's BIGGEST SHOW OF THE YEAR. The main event has been built up for at least 10 months and feels necessary to main event this show, but nothing else belongs. Undercard just screams "House show".

 

[NDX]

ROH just screams House Show with their current roster. There are just not enough wrestlers that they've brought in to replace all those they've lost over the years. It feels like ROH 2004 - 5 again, and that is NOT a good thing.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

They should really bring in Chris Hero to liven up the roster a bit. They're brining in The Young Bucks so that's a start, but even they are being put up against Adrenaline Rush. ACH is over, but the tag team he's in isn't.

I disagree.

A title swap would probably make it MORE likely that they'll both make it to the main event.

If either John Cena or Randy Orton solely holds those belts, than either Punk or Bryan won't be in the ME.

Probably Bryan.

So it would be best if the titles swapped.

It's the only conclusion to this match that would let it be possible for them to both make it.

Tell me.

I'm all ears.

Raw has to impress tomorrow as there is a huge Monday Night Football game tomorrow in what could be a possible NFC Championship Preview.

 

[Lobo]

Emma is adorable and Paige has a great ass.

 

[Slushy]

I would assume TLC has to end with Cena or Orton grabbing both titles to win the match, but since I'm against the titles being unified, for once, I do hope for a screwy ending to happen.

 

[chamber-music]

Punk and Bryan both put on better matches against Cena than Orton does. Cena raises his game and wrestles better against those two as well.

 

[TX85]

ADR vs Ziggler on Main Event really was a damn good match!

 

[TX85]

I marked for Mark Henry doing the Junkyard Dog headbuts and then screaming at a kid at ringside after his match on Smackdown telling him"That's What I Do!"

Also marked for Xavier wearing an original black power ranger shirt!

 

[Dr. Evil]

I miss Teddy Long on TV making every main event match a tag team match.

 

[TX85]

Smackdown wasn't all that bad as spoiler made it seem,That's one reason why I hate people putting in their own opinions while making spoilers

 

[sweetre15]

Sometimes though, I wonder if the bad booking in The Fall is intentional because how do you go from Excellent in the Summer, Subpar in the Fall/Winter to Background Noise in Mania Season then repeat the cycle continuously? At some point, someone in the back would have to realize what's going wrong during those seasons right? Especially when the Fall is usually when they start pushing the rising stars to the top spot and when the ratings decline they blame the talent they sabotaged.

It might seem a bit conspiracy theory like but sometimes it really makes me wonder. I mean who really is THAT inept that they repeat the same mistakes over and over and over and over again to where it conveniently makes it seem like Cena and Orton are the only guys that can carry the company?

 

[Wheels]

Orton hasn't carried anything since his last strike. WWE stuck him down in the midcard and had him work with Henry, Kane, and Barrett. He hasn't been #2 for awhile.

True but WWE wants us to believe that him and Cena are the Stone Cold and The Rock of this generation despite that fact. Nevermind that Last time I checked Bryan and Punk both sell more Merch than Orton.

That is what pisses me off to no end. It seems Vince might sweep Punk and Bryan undet the rug because Orton's punishment is over.

But if this fan revolt keeps up and fans continue walking out during Orton's matches or being silent during his feud with Cena then they'll have no other option but to treat Punk and Bryan better or they'll be quitting the WWE so fast that Vince's head will spin.
