Ziggler gets a Wrestling Thread...It's About Damn Time!!!

There's a Jeff Hardy shoot? What was he saying about Punk?

Jeff inside a waffle house , inebriated , calling Punk ungrateful. I guess Punk never thanked Jeff for putting him over. There's a lot more I'll pm it. Also another interview Jeff said they didn't interact backstage.

 

[Metallo]

I agree with some of the article and disagree with other parts, for instance I'm not a fan of the BFG series and I don't see why he's taking a shot at Sandow, the guy is establishing a character and generating heat, that a part of wrestling.

He also could have picked a better time to write the article since while WWE right now is limping along on Cena overkill, it doesn't have two terrible time consuming angles like Bully Ray/Parks and the dreadful Crack addict angle that is getting the main event focus and isn't even being used to get over a hot new heel, the match at the center of the whole tacky mess is one between two guys who have wrestled dozens of times and features a 41 year old mid carder for life.

The E just has Haitch potentially hogging the spotlight once again in a pointless win over Lesner...cause you just know he's gonna.

Hopefully WWE makes a smart move with the GM because the whole thing with Ace, Cena, and Show was a clusterf***. And Sting showed how tired the heel authority figure thing really is because his take was a breath of fresh air.

Besides The Abyss crap and Dixie AJ nonsense TNA has been solid. about the same as WWE. They both have their pluses and minuses right now. TNA wins the battle as far as making the titles look more important though.

She lost much of her momentum once she left the company before and was pushed against the BP (Velvet, Madison, Von Eric) upon her return. She still was an important piece to the KO division and pushed hard, but she never took off as a face in the way she got over as a heel with Velvet.

The Winter angle practically killed her as a character.

She was one of the better wrestlers in the KO Division, but her looks continue to fade (along with her weight) and she's not someone you can push as the center of your division unless you make her a ***** heel. TNA already has that in Madison.

I cannot see WWE signing her.

I think TNA had other women they wanted to push and there just wasn't a place for Love. Velvet was the more appealing one. I agree Love's a better heel. If the BP ever got back together it could only be a good thing for her.

There's a Jeff Hardy shoot? What was he saying about Punk?

Its old, and I think everyone saw this already. Obviously, the ambien thing is BS, but Hardy's comments about Punk's attitude lines up with a lot of things people have said about Punk.

Its interesting that Punk had problems with Hogan and Rock not acknowledging him backstage, but he basically does the same thing to Hardy. Maybe he had his reasons, though.

could you send me a link to that other interview?

 

[Dr. Evil]

Hell will freeze over before this happens:

- F4Wonline.com reports that WWE officials want Bruno Sammartino to be the headliner for the 2013 Hall of Fame class from the New York City area. WWE has already contacted Sammartino about being inducted but we do not know his response to them yet.

Sammartino's past with WWE is a troubled one. He hasn't worked with them since the late 1980's and has been very critical of Vince McMahon and the WWE product over the years. Sammartino has turned down several projects from WWE over the years, declined invitations to shows and spoken out against them in the media.

So far this year, only one other name has been rumored for the 2013 Hall of Fame - Rena "Sable" Lesnar. The former WWE Women's Champion was rumored around WrestleMania time this year when it became clear that Brock Lesnar, her husband, would be performing at WrestleMania 29.

It might of been on this interview:

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2010/1006/532619/jeff-hardy/

Jeff Hardy recently appeared on Busted Open, a radio show on Sirius hosted by Dave LaGeca and Doug Mortman.

Here's what he said about his feud with Punk:

"I don't think he appreciates it as much as he should… I was proud I was able to do that for Punk (help get him over), despite our relationship off screen."



RE: Bruno WWE HOF

I don't see that happening. I'm sure they'll keep pushing towards it though.

 

[TX85]

I'll mark so f'n hard in person(which usually I'm just clapping&laughing But am excited inside)IF tonight's Legend is..[BLACKOUT]DDP[/BLACKOUT]!

First maybe Brock&Now maybe [BLACKOUT]DDP[/BLACKOUT]!?

I had to remove the link as there is cussing in it but bullets sent me it (Thanks dude. ).

He's correct in that he did technically make Punk, I mean Punk is so good that if you give him the shot he was going to make it, but the feud with Jeff and how Jeff worked with him was the platform for his good heel run before he was fed to Taker and depushed.

As for Punk's attitude towards him? I guess it could be related to the fact Jeff is a habitual screw up and when they were feuding Jeff was carrying the belt after a second wellness violation and refusal to get help. I mean he says Punk is too cocky and full of himself and I ima\gine there are plenty who feel that way, he can come off as a know it all, but at the root I think is that comment Punk made about Hardy after he left and was busted with a stack of drugs.

I hope it does end up being him. I read [BLACKOUT]Jim Duggan[/BLACKOUT] is another possibility.

I can see why Punk would distance himself. Hanging out with those guys could be detrimental. Jeff has expressed issues with WWE for exposing his personal problems though. So Punk's comments after he left is probably what set him off. That makes sense.

RE: Bruno WWE HOF

Bruno will probably die before he agrees to go in. Vince knows the HOF doesn't look as legit without Sammartino but this is also about Vince winning by getting Bruno to agree to join it.

Its funny how some of the best feuds happen between guys who don't like each other. Maybe its some of the natural animosity shining through.

I can see both sides. Punk seems like the type would be disgust by a strung out Hardy. But Hardy DID do more for Punk than Taker or HHH. I also agree that Hardy probably didn't take those comments Punk made after Jeff left too well.

Hopefully if Jeff comes back to WWE they can get along and work together again one day and not let their issues blow the chance for future great matches. Magic happens when those two get in the ring together.

In the meantime I'd enjoy a Punk vs Hardy dvd.

Its also a shame Punk didn't get to work with Edge more.

 

[The Batman]

If Jeff joined the company again, maybe they'd let Cena go heel.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Jeff is too much of a risk to make him the #1 marketing face of the WWE.

Sad but true. It's actually a dirty to move to do something like that but it's more than likely. I just hope they can come to some sort of agreement.

Do you think we'll ever see Jeff back in WWE . I can imagine Matt might be back but Jeff seems like a long-shot. They are great opponents and there's money to be made but I can't see Jeff agreeing to it.

Also it would of been awesome to see an Edge vs Punk feud during his recent title run.

so make punk or sheamus #1 and Jeff Hardy his 1b

Lol, sounds like a sober and politcally correct version of what he said in the shoot.

 

[Incrediblejeff]

Does anyone here miss Wade Barrett?

 

[Van Petrol]

Does anyone here miss Wade Barrett?

Yes.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Does anyone here miss Wade Barrett?

Isn't he supposed to be back soon?

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Does anyone here miss Wade Barrett?

I kind of do. I hope he comes back with a new finisher, though.

 

[brainchild81]

Does anyone here miss Wade Barrett?

Nope. Never saw him do anything special

 

[Wheels]

Barrett has never really had a moment where I was like "Wow this guy is good". He has potential but none of his matches or promos are anything memorable.

Both The Nexus and The Corre were booked horribly, so that did him no favors. Then, he finally starts building some momentum after Elimination Chamber, and he gets injured.

 

[Incrediblejeff]

I kind of do. I hope he comes back with a new finisher, though.

That's the only thing I don't like about Barrett.The Wasteland sucks imo.

 

[Metallo]

Barretts good on the mic and has a good look but he needs to improve in the ring. Luckily for him in WWE you don't always have to be a great wrestler anyway.

Do you think we'll ever see Jeff back in WWE . I can imagine Matt might be back but Jeff seems like a long-shot. They are great opponents and there's money to be made but I can't see Jeff agreeing to it.

At this time I seriously doubt it but in the future? In the wrasslin biz never say never.

 

[Superark]

Like Hunter said, I seem to remember the Hardy/Punk heat arising due to Punk commenting Hardy's drug issues in his promos on WWE tv.

 

[Hellion]

so...Angelina's out...?

is it me or while WWE releases people like crazy, it seems people in TNA quit more than are released?
