Your arms are just too short to box with the Wrestling Thread

Ehhh, I don't see the 25th being all too exciting either. The reason I say 30th is because perhaps by then we'll have fresh blood and it'll be cool to see guys like Cena and Punk because by then they may already be done wresting.

Well for a so called big celebration this was pretty much a soggy fart of a show.

Some sold parts but for all the hype it was not better than your average Raw.

Couldn't care less for the ADR part as I can't understand a single word he says. Guess they are trying to get people to watch SmackDown by building this feud.

Glad Kaitlyn won, just hope they don't screw her over with a quick title swap at RR.

Cage match was good until the inevitable end.

Rock was good and nice to see the altercation at the end so the show didn't end on a comedy note.

Vince should let CM Punk have his own belt already since his been champ so long.

Even Jeff Hardy gets his own custom champ belt while the WWE still uses Cena's one.

I thought Punk was gonna debut the one that OCC are working on, that looks like a toned down yet still mega gangsta bling turd.

- The 20th Anniversary of WWE RAW drew 4.55 million viewers - the most viewers since the 1,000th episode back on July 23rd, 2012.

Hour one drew 4.50 million viewers, hour two drew 4.68 million viewers and the final hour drew 4.47 million.

The final rating will be out later but likely will be a 3.1 or 3.2.

- Beth Phoenix tweeted the following about Eve Torres:

"So proud of @EveMarieTorres ...great friend, great peer and has worked so hard to become a talented ring general."

Eve responded that she learned from the best.

- Sin Cara says he will be back in the ring soon. He tweeted the following on Tuesday:

"Back in Mexico, my knee medical review went great, expect me soon back in the ring!!"

- A fan in attendance at last night's RAW in Houston noted that one of the biggest negative reactions came when Ric Flair didn't do the Figure Four on Antonio Cesaro but The Miz did. He added that the crowd did not like Miz.

- Eve Torres actually went to Vince McMahon about a month ago and made it known that she was planning on leaving WWE.

They agreed to have her work however long the storyline with Kaitlyn took and it was expected internally that she would be around until the Royal Rumble.

The decision was made this past week to have the match on RAW and Eve is officially done with the company now.

Eve will now be the new face of the Gracie Academy's "Women Empowered" brand that she has been working on while with WWE.

- Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels revealed on Twitter that they did not attend last night's RAW 20th anniversary show because they were at the Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT) convention in Las Vegas. Austin tweeted:

"Hitting the hay in Las Vegas. Hope RAW was a fun show. I was already booked here at the Shot Show in Vegas, as I am every year. #hunting"

Michaels was also previously booked for the convention. He ruled out an appearance at tonight's SmackDown tapings in San Antonio also.

- According to PWInsider, the following matches are scheduled for the WrestleMania 29 main events as of early Monday:

* Sheamus vs. Randy Orton for the World Heavyweight Title

* Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar

* CM Punk vs. The Undertaker

* John Cena vs. The Rock for the WWE Title

- There was speculation on Randy Orton's status after he lost clean to Wade Barrett on last night's RAW from Houston. F4Wonline.com reports this is just a part of Orton's heel turn. He will be facing Antonio Cesaro on this week's WWE Main Event.

WZ has learned from sources inside WWE that the reason The Undertaker, Bret Hart and other big name legends weren't used on Raw last night was because Stone Cold Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels weren't available.

As reported, Austin and HBK were both in Las Vegas for a hunting convention which is why they weren't in Houston for RAW.

Because those two could not make it, WWE decided to drop any plans of using other big name legends, most notably The Undertaker and Bret Hart. The feeling was they didn't want to have a bunch of legendary names on RAW and it draw attention or heat on Austin and Michaels for not being there.

Mick Foley was there obviously for the Hall of Fame announcement.

As for Ric Flair being there, his appearance was justified as he was on RAW a few weeks ago and is slowly being worked back in as a regular role player on WWE programming.

whats up with this AJ lovefest...shes annoying as hell to me?

Ugly as fu** too!

I don't think anyone would have complained if we "only" got Undertaker and Bret Hart. I mean really? It would have made the show waaay better just having The Undertaker there, IMO. Especially if they were going to make the CM Punk/Undertaker feud start.

Austin and Micheals can make it up by being at the Royal Rumble.

Meanwhile, Flair will be back to taking bumps in ROH in order to pay for ex-wife #5 and current wife #6.

seriously can we get this doctor a ****ing medal or something

 

[X Knight]

so if it's Sheamus vs Orton for the World Title, then that means Del Rio isn't going to be champ for very long.......

And Ziggler isn't cashing in anytime soon.

Del Rio should spend some time chasing the IC title or something.

Christ, Terry. Really?

 

[Karelia]

I saw the TLC DVD in a store today, almost got it. I do not understand why they didn't wait to release best PPV matches of the year Blu Ray just to add that match to it, because I do believe that was the match of the year. In fact it had such an Attitude Era feel to it, much like Edge & Christian vs Hardy Boyz/Dudleyz... It was too good.

I hope they have another TLC match together.

I don't understand this either. I have a couple theories, but I wish they'd wait another couple of months so they could get in matches from the last 2 PPV's.

I just wish the uk blu rays were still region free. At least that would somewhat make up for this b.s. Also no Jericho vs Punk streetfight or TLC 2011 on the set was lame. I did pick up the TLC 2012 DVD though. That and Extreme Rules are the only time I bought dvds this year.

Speaking of poor WWE booking....

If the plan is to turn Randy Orton heel, why does the Shield keep attacking him?

 

[Anno_Domini]

Because WWE really has no clue how to handle Orton.

Or anybody for that matter.

Vince should let CM Punk have his own belt already since his been champ so long.

Even Jeff Hardy gets his own custom champ belt while the WWE still uses Cena's one.

I don't get why this never happened. Punk sells a lot of merchandise. I think it could of worked.

 

[Soapy]

Maybe they're planning on giving him a second run as a face in the future and they're saving it for that?

 

[UnionJack]

Del Rio should spend some time chasing the IC title or something.

or taking elocution lessons.

 

[NDX]

And Ziggler isn't cashing in anytime soon.

Or he cashes in, and loses.

 

[Lobo]

He'll cash in win, and then lose to Randy the next night like they did with Christian's first reign. I miss the Captain . In one upping Sheamus 18 second victory they will have Orton beat Dolph in 11 seconds

 

[NDX]

Well, at least his second reign will last longer than his first of 20 minutes.

Hogan jobbing to Cena is a good thing. Bummer it didn't happen.

If the plan is to turn Randy Orton heel, why does the Shield keep attacking him?

Option A: Because he's in cahoots with The Shield!!! (Russo logic)

Option B: Beat him down repeatedly until he joins (WCW angle as that's what made Randy Savage go to the nWo IMO.)
