Go WWE!

[Birdy]

:nono: Mickie is awesome!!! And I kinda like where this whole Raw has two titles thing is going. Cause the big question is why was he even there. Teddy knew he was gonna be there cause you see him mouth the words "its okay, its okay" to the ring announcer when Angle was coming out. I don't think Edge will drop the belt at the Rumble. I think if he does it will be at Wrestlemania.

[Glordreen]

Im glad Edge finally won.

I just hope Shawn Michaels gets one more title run before he actually retires.

[jbailey84]

im sure he will

[filmstudent04]

Aight, It would be kind of cool if Michaels went over to Smackdown, however, it would be even cooler if he goes over there with the Heavy Weight title...he really could have some good feuds there....one in particular I would love seeing again is drum roll please........Taker vs Michaels...come on who wouldnt want to see those matches again?

[ChaCho]

^^^^UH UH ME ME lol
seeing them two on a match again would be awsome. He not only could have feuds with him, with Chris Benoit (Who didnt win the US Title which he should have if it wasnt for Booker T), HBK and Benoit had some really good matches in 2004. He could go against Batista when he comes back, which would really nice and at the Raw that was dedicated to Eddie Guerrero the day after he died, HBK had a really good match with Rey Mysterio, they could have an awsome cage or TLC match.

The thing with Angle winning the Title yesterday, I was rootin for him, Im so dumb, even though i knew he was gonna win. But I really want to know why Teddy let him on the match, he knew Angle could have won, he did. And he gave him the title with no remorse or problem. I would really like to know whats the deal, unless Angle is a Smackdown superstar already.

[Rogue]

Taker's my favorite so it'd rock my world to see some Michaels and Taker matches again.

[ZombieMan]

If everyone gets the chance, head on over to WWE.COM and check out Trevor's newest match on Heat with Viscera. It was actually a VERY good match in my opinion and Trevor finally showed what he real has in the ring. He took some very nice looking bumps and it put Viscera over and made him look really good. And finally Trevor did the top rope move that I've been asking him to do on TV. Hopefully when he makes it back onto Raw to go after the IC title, then he will do this move again. He calls it something different than what I thought it was...But, you will see if you watch it. :)

[ChaCho]

Im not a big fan of Viscera no more, I used to really like him when he had a role as a dark wrestler, he kicked more ass like that and was feared much much more. Trevor was really good coming into the WWE on the Tag Team role, he really kicked ass like that. WWE needs to use the elements on wrestlers that make them good. Trevor and Viscera are RAW caliber, they could and have made really good matches and deserve to be in national T.V. not on Heat which now only airs at WWE.com

[WuTical]

Trevor and Viscera are RAW caliber, they could and have made really good matches and deserve to be in national T.V. not on Heat which now only airs at WWE.com
uhhh...no thanks

[ZombieMan]

Im not a big fan of Viscera no more, I used to really like him when he had a role as a dark wrestler, he kicked more ass like that and was feared much much more.

Trevor and Viscera are RAW caliber, they could and have made really good matches and deserve to be in national T.V. not on Heat which now only airs at WWE.com

They are both really coming along nicely. I never thought that I would say that about Viscera, but they put on a hell of a match. I am just impressed...Mainly, like I said before, I think that Trevor put Viscera over by taking such good looking bumps.

[ChaCho]

uuh man saw that Batista operation wow that looked nasty as hell i swear, and he says hell get back to the gym when he gets home, wow Batista is an Animal

[FVD]

:nono: Mickie is awesome!!!

Maybe I'll forgive myself for saying what I said if she gets a better gimmick rather than hang around Trish all the time. The sooner Trish lets her go the better.

As for the Battle Royal well I knew Angle was gonna win. There is no way they're gonna allow Mark Henry to win the title. There'll be a cold day in hell when Henry becomes champion.

[jbailey84]

news about Angle & Taker from rajah.com

The Undertaker has been telling people backstage that he wants to have a good quality match at WrestleMania 22. Kurt Angle name has been brought up for a possibly opponent for the Undertaker. Taker has been saying that this could likely be his last WrestleMania, and with Kurt Angle’s bad neck, this could be his last WrestleMania match too.

With Kurt Angle as the new World champion, this would open the door for the Undertaker to chase Angle for the title. History has proven that when a face chases the heel for the title that the buyrates and ratings are much better.

[Ser Ty Of Ross]

Not to mention it would 95% guarantee Taker one last title run before he retires... which he deserves.

[Rogue]

I hope that Taker gets the title at least once more. *girly shriek* I so love the man.

[ZombieMan]

Last night's Raw was horrible in my eyes...Except the TLC match wasn't so bad up until the ending. The end of it really sucked.

[carnage4u]

The TLC match was much better then I thought. some crazy hits on both of those guys, and the ending was lame, but sadly not shocking.

I"m not 100% sure of angle is going face, cause he does things sometimes that make you think he will, then goes back to pure wonderful evil :)

I still think vince/shawn fued thing is useless. I dont see any point to it.

The rest of didnt bother me much. womans matches were the same.

I wish shelton would be fine without his "mom" cause hes soo damm taleneted, but its sort of funny so Ill see where it goes.

carlito/masters fued has me bored already.

Kane needs to tear off someones head soon and seriouslly do something kanelike again.

[chewie]

Are they ever going to find a new GM?

[KingMizfit]

I like the Sheltons mom gimmick. It gives Shelton some damn personality. We all know hes got skills, but he needs to start entertaining on a DIFFERENT level.
I'm stoked about an Angle/Taker match...good stuff. This whole thing with HBK/Mcmahon is stupid though. It's my guess that since Bret Hart does not seem willing to have a match at WM, this is Vinces way of substituting someone he can have a match with, and be the glory hog he is. Why does he think having himself on the card at WM is actually a good thing?
Anyways...JBL vs the Boogeyman at the Rumble sucks too. Why not have these guys in the Rumble match instead? With only 15 guys from Smackdown able to enter I fear we will have to see guys like Grenier, kendrick,London, Simon Dean, and other rejects participate in the Rumble Match. It's always a lot better with REAL competiton in it, but oh well.......

[jbailey84]

i liked it better when you didnt know WHO was in it. i hate these qualifying matches

[chewie]

Yeah, the old Royal Rumbles were better.

[jbailey84]

got done watching Raw few hours ago, yea that TLC match was better than expected!! the jump from the ladder to the outside of the ring was nucking futs!

y'all know that Royal Rumble '95 or '96 was the first to use entrance music when the wrestlers came out for the RR? the others ones, they just came out to that fog horn noise.

[ChaCho]

Taker vs Angle at wrestlemania would be awsome, they have never wrestled each other at Wrestlemania and it will make a good as hell match. The Undertaker to me still has a few trips around the ring before he retires, to me he is still the best WWE wretler of all time.
The HBK and Vince feud is not only stupid but dangerous in my opinion. This feud came out of nowhere to HBK and it pisses me off. Just because of this feud HBK could just say to hell with it and leave the WWE, he has already made a mark and impact that nowhere and no one could ever try to make. So Vince is just playing with fire.

[ChaCho]

just saw the news, Hedeinreich just been released off the WWE. How could they let someone so good leave the WWE? he made some really good matches, as a single guy against The Undertaker and with Animal he became tag team champion. This sucks.

[Doomsday]

Does anyone remember when Raw premiered a couple months ago when Hulk came out to the ring and pretty much called out Steve Austin? Does anyone remember that or know what became of it?

[jbailey84]

yea i remember that. i think they, Hogan & Austin, agreed to a match but couldnt decide on who would put their ego to get pinned.....something like that

[KingMizfit]

just saw the news, Hedeinreich just been released off the WWE. How could they let someone so good leave the WWE? he made some really good matches, as a single guy against The Undertaker and with Animal he became tag team champion. This sucks.


If you read more into it...{try wrestlezone.com} It sounds like he wanted to be released. Also..they don't know if it's temporary or not.


As far as Austin and Hogan go, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see this match go down. They are going to need a big match for WM this year, and since Bret Hart vs Hbk, or Mcmahon seems out of the question know, they might push this Hogan and Austin concept. I doubt either would really turn it down as the match will do big buisness and guarantee both wrestlers a fat paycheck.
As for who will win....well, don't forget Hogan jobbed to the rock a few wrestlemanias back.....laying down to Austin isn't that unlikely.

[ZombieMan]

just saw the news, Hedeinreich just been released off the WWE. How could they let someone so good leave the WWE? he made some really good matches, as a single guy against The Undertaker and with Animal he became tag team champion. This sucks.

Yes, that news really bummed me out. I'm still bummed about it, because he was one of my very favorite WWE superstars. Word has it that he has problems back at home, and needs time off the road. I hope that he returns to the WWE sometime down the line. Its sure sad to see him go...:(

[ChaCho]

Hogan vs Austin would be really nice but I dont think it will happen. See at RAW Homecoming they were announcing very strongly the return of Hogan, but he came out for five minutes, he didnt want to wrestle or anything so what does he do to make everything look ok, he makes a 'challenge' to another legend in the building Stone Cold Steve Austin, if a match were to happen Austin would have surely came out and say he would really like that or something. Let me tell you that match is as much likely as The Undertaker vs Goldberg in a Hell in a Cell

[filmstudent04]

Getting pretty sick of evey angle now being "screwed!" this or screwed that....first hbk and mcmahon which i might add they could have done better and now on wwe.com the headline is that davari screwed angle...LAME!!

[ChaCho]

that was dumb, screwed him how? because he lost the match via DQ? its gonna be a pretty cool match though Angle vs Henry at the Royal Rumble.

[ChaCho]

just read in WWE.com that Trish Stratus has made a record. She has been Women's Champion for over a year now, thats crazy, did anyone here notice her title reign being for over a year now? i think thats pretty cool when someone is such a good champion you dont even notice how long they been champion

[Rogue]

No one noticed because it's been BORING. No one needs to stay champ that long. It gets dry after a while. I think creative needs to mix it up a little bit more. There's a hell of a lot of Divas and none of them are going after that title? WTF? Victoria, anyone? Lita, anyone? Hell, I'd give the new divas a shot for the hell of it. Anything to change things up because it's about as stale as day old bread now.

[nayner1138]

If you remember Trish held the title while she was out injured for about four months. Unable to defend the title she sould have been striped of it. Well at least Batista is no longer champion. What a boring title reign that was. How many times did he defend? Twice?

[ZombieMan]

Lita should be returning to the ring soon enough.

[carnage4u]

Trish is a great womans champ.. only 2 to 3 woman ahve the talent to hold it, and with lita not wrestling, that brings it down more.

of course trish is one of my 2 favorite divas so i dont mind her with the belt. More tv time for her :)

[Rogue]

Lita should be returning to the ring soon enough.


Could that mean the end of the worst storyline in a while? Please please please tell me Lita and Edge is over. Bleh.

[carnage4u]

It would be nice to see that come to an end.

[ChaCho]

Damnitman!!!!!!!!!!!! HBK is an awsome wrestler, my second favorite, i've watched almost every big impact match of him and I would wish nothing more than for him to be wrestling forever but this thing with Vince is obviously makin his job annoying, boring and a *****, he should quit, just get the hell out, like every otehr wrestler that just gets tired, Stone Cold, Rock, Hogan, Lesnar, Goldberg, he needs to get the hell out of there like them. It will be better for HBK, hope he does what makes him happy

[ZombieMan]

I personally thought that Kane and Carlito's match was freakin' AWSOME last night! I was quite impressed, and I hope that they wrestle each other more often. I think that it went over quite well. :)

[chewie]

I was impressed with that match also. Best match of the night.

[ChaCho]

nah to me the best match was HBK v Benjamin
Thats the second match they have had against each other and both have been classics, to me those two really rip the roof, they fight back and forth really nice. very impressed when Benjamin blocked the Sweet Chin Music that put him out on the first one

[Glordreen]

my Rumble prediction is that Shawn Michaels will win.

[jbailey84]

my rumble prediction is either RVD or Orton, i dont mind if HBK does just as long as its not HHH!!

[ZombieMan]

My money is going on HBK, but I think that it will come down to him, RVD, and Triple H at the end.

[jbailey84]

that'll be a good final four though, Hbk Orton Rvd & HHH. thatd be awesome!! :D

[ZombieMan]

^^^ Sounds good...:)

[jbailey84]

thanks! :D

[DangerMouse]

I really wish Shelton Benjamin could get over better. I've always been impressed with his in ring ability.

I used to say this about Chris Jerico, but with him gone, pound for pound (IMO) Shelton Benjamin is the most talented wrestler in the WWE right now.

Some of the stuff that guy can do is amazing.

[jbailey84]

well here are my results from my own little Taboo Tuesday PPV on the ps2. thanks for those who voted :D

8. Kurt still Heavyweight Champ made RVD tap out at 14:38

7. Cena beat HBK in a 30 minute Iron man, 3-2.

6. HHH retained the World Title via DQ by Undertaker in a Triple-Threat with Batista, 16:40

5. Shelton became new IC Champ beating Christian in a Ladder Match. 12:20

4. Randy Orton is the new #1 Contender for the Heavyweight Title beating Jericho. 8:56

3. Snitsky & Heidenreich won via Count Out to Eugene & Stone Cold, 10:47

2. Big Show retained his U.S. Title in a 6-Man Over the Top Battle Royal. 7:01

1. Lita became new Women's Champ pinning Trish at 8:42

match of the night was obviously the last two!!

[Carnage Escobar]

Can't wait for the Rumble this Sunday. This is the first year in a long time that I honestly have no idea who's gonna win. Last year I knew Batista would win. 2004 I had a good feeling Benoit was gonna win. 2003 I knew that Crock Lesnar would take. 2002 it was a given HHH would win. Somehow in 2001 I knew Austin was gonna win. And in 2000 my money was on The Rock and he won.

But this year? Not too sure. I would really like Kane to win since he's LONG overdue for a title shot, but it's not likely (it would kick major ass though!) I wouldn't mind seeing Masters or Carlito win since it would be cool *no pun intended* to see some new blood get a chance but it's probably too early for either of them. I'm guessing either of the following would win:

HBK
HHH
Orton
Cena (if he's in it)
Undertaker (if he's in it)


Only time will tell.........

[ZombieMan]

Sadly...I won't get to see the Rumble this year. I am currently in the middle of talking with a new satellite company for my TV viewing pleasures. So my other satellite is off for now. I gotta go to my grandma's to watch wrestling on Mondays for a few weeks. Hahaha!

[jbailey84]

from wwe.com
Breaking news regarding Sunday's Royal Rumble
Jan. 26, 2006

Mr. McMahon has determined that the Superstars will no longer be drawing their Royal Rumble entry numbers online this Sunday afternoon.

Instead, Mr. McMahon will be personally conducting the drawing himself during the Royal Rumble pay-per-view.


gee, i wonder what number Shawn Michaels will be....

[FVD]

I'm gonna be looking forward to RVD's return. :)

[Glordreen]

HBK
HHH
Orton
Cena (if he's in it)
Undertaker (if he's in it)


Only time will tell.........

Cena wont be in it, he's in a title match with Edge that night.

[chewie]

Cena be in it, he's in a title match with Edge that night.

They could have some jobber from the RAW roster get an "injury", then they would need somebody to fill the spot. Easy to do since the rumble match will be the last one. The WWE needs more spontaneity like that.

[jbailey84]

or to fill that spot would be great for a "surprise entrant" ;)

too bad Lesnar & WWE couldnt come to good terms :( that would be PERFECT for Lesnar to return...maybe Stone Cold?

[ZombieMan]

or to fill that spot would be great for a "surprise entrant" ;)

My guess would be Charlie Haas. ;)

[insaneMoViEgoer]

but he had no impact what so ever in the WWE making it very anti climactic.

[ZombieMan]

^^^ Exactly, and its just something that I can see WWE doing right now. Because nobody really cares, thats what they tend to do lately. Angles that nobody cares about much. ;) Also, he's about set for his re-debut.

[Rogue]

I'll be the suprise entry -- it'll be a gimmick match. Rogue vs. John Cena -- naked hotel bed wrestling! :P

[ChaCho]

i would love to see HBK's third win at the Rumble, but with Vince on his ass he wont win it, I expect returns of some wretlers but dont know from whom. I love the Rumble i have watched them since 1998 up to now and never miss them. My top 4 choices are:
Big SHow, HHH, Mysterio and RVD. hope one of them gets it.

[chewie]

I'll be the suprise entry -- it'll be a gimmick match. Rogue vs. John Cena -- naked hotel bed wrestling! :P

Who's the ref?

[jbailey84]

here are my predictions



The 2006 Royal Rumble Match - RVD or Orton

WWE Champion Edge vs. John Cena

World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle vs. Mark Henry

The Boogeyman vs. JBL

Mickie James vs. Ashley - Trish Stratus as special guest referee

Open Invitational Match for the Cruiserweight Championship - challenger

[ZombieMan]

Who's the ref?

Oooh, ooooh pick me, pick me!!!!!!

[ZombieMan]

Here's mine!

The 2006 Royal Rumble Match - HBK

WWE Champion Edge vs. John Cena

World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle vs. Mark Henry

The Boogeyman vs. JBL

Mickie James vs. Ashley - Trish Stratus as special guest referee

Open Invitational Match for the Cruiserweight Championship - challenger

[chewie]

There is no way that RVD is winning the Rumble.

[jbailey84]

^^^ hey if Vince has, why not? i can dream :D

[chewie]

^^^ hey if Vince has, why not? i can dream :D

Nope. Sorry, no dreaming allowed.

I changed my predictions a bit.

[ChaCho]

My predictions:

Open invitational cruserweight championship - Dont care, Kash has not defended the title once, so i dont care about this match.

Mickie James vs. Ashley - Trish Stratus as special guest referee - WOW ima loce see this match with these three hot dicvas jumpin around, i see Ashley winning, she is mad now and i bet nothing can stand un her way.

The Boogeyman vs. JBL - This match is actually funny, i go with the boogeyman, i just believe that JBL is afraid of the Boogyeman and he is coming to get him.

World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle vs. Mark Henry - this is gooing to be a really good match. the worlds strongest man v the wrestlin machine. On friday henry broke out of the ankle lock, but there is still the angle slam, angle wins.

WWE Champion Edge vs. John Cena - a long time ago i always wondered why edge was never champion but now i know, he is just not a good champion, at all, now dont get me wrong his defense against ric flair in the TLC match was awsome even though he cheated, but good. Cena is on fire and with the FU and the STFU he is gonna become the Champ again.

The 2006 Royal Rumble Match - wow this is very hard, 30 men on it, everyone with a chance at it.. i dunno i pick HBK just because he is my favorite going into the match, now if the Undertaker becomes a special entree he will be the winner.

[jbailey84]

from wrestle-online.com concerning HBK Vs The Rock @ WM 22.

THE ROCK SAYS NO TO HBK AT MANIA
- In an interview with IGN.COM, Shawn Michaels revealed that The Rock has refused the idea of working against Shawn Michaels for WrestleMania 22 in Chicago. "I had mentioned me and Rock because wrestling fans haven't seen it, but he's not interested in doing that," said the former champion. In previous interviews, The Rock always said he was never interested in working against HBK for whatever reason. "As I told some folks a few months ago, I'm at the point where I want to do things I haven't done," he said regarding WrestleMania. "That's obviously not easily done. I've wrestled just about everybody, but I'll try to figure something out." You can read the whole interview at http://sports.ign.com/articles/684/684176p1.html that sucks!!!! ive always wanted to see that match :( DAMN YOU ROCK!!!

and whats up with Ric Flair not defending his IC Title at RR? dont tell me he's gonna be like Hogan when he won the title @ WM 9 and didnt defend it until KOTR, and just decorate his waist.

[FVD]

Just watched Smackdown last night. It's really cool to see Finlay back in the ring. I love his style of wrestling. And I'm glad that Angle won that Battle Royal. There is no way that Mark Henry will ever become champion. Ratings suicide if you ask me. But I do appreciate the fact that Henry has paid his dues and is getting the push he desires. Though he's sustained his share of injuries.

Looking forward to seeing these guys live in March. It's a long drive to Wellington for me but to see the WWE live in NZ for the first time will be absolutely worth it.

[ZombieMan]

I've been reading results and Rey Mysterio has won the Royal Rumble match! Thats kind of a surprise. It came down to RVD, Mysterio, Orton, and Triple H in the final four. Also, the McMahons screwed HBK over, to further their feud.

[filmstudent04]

Hollllllllllllly friiiging cow!!!!!!!! this ppv sounded aweeeeeeesome!!! I can't believe i missed it!!!...i was reading it and reading how HHH was in there for a longggg time and i really didnt want him to win but am so stoked to hear mysterio win it!! Also thank the flippin Lord that Cena won it back...and taker returnin, bout dang time buuut i reallllllllly reallllllllllly dont want a michaels mcmahon match at mania!!! anyways wow way to go wwe writers on this one!...finally stepped up to the plate!

[DangerMouse]

Was there anything to further the Edge/Lita split?

I really wonder where they're going to go with Edge now. I had a feeling that he was going to get rid of the "money in the bank" by having a short title run and then get his walking papers.

Should be interesting to see what happens with Edge. I don't think they can afford letting Lita go as she, Victoria, Trish, and Mickie are the only women on the roster who can actually wrestle a decent match.

[FVD]

It was a very good Rumble. It was sad seeing Flair get eliminated fairly early by Triple H. The crowd's boos were quite noticeable if you know what I mean. Seeing Tatanka and Goldust was a surprise even.

It was a surprise seeing Rey win the Rumble. He deserved it. And for a fitting tribute too. I suppose I should have seen it coming. ;)

And to see Benoit, Malenko and Chavo congratulating Rey post Rumble was somewhat moving then Edge interrupts the festivities. Could it be a sign of things to come? Not at all. Edge lost the title back to Cena and that catwalk entranceway Cena used to get to the ring. Impressive to say the least.

I can see an Angle/Mysterio match come Wrestlemania.

Lastly, Mickie James = Psycho. And Ashley while hot as she is needs a lotta ringwork. The boos were pretty obvious. And Trish didn't want Mickie to win either but she had no choice.

[carnage4u]

the rumble was ok. i was suprised to see Rey win and that was neat. both title matches went as expected.. altough the angle one, was a bit more amsusing then I thought it would be.



ashley should not be allowed to werestlle again.

[ZombieMan]

So, I wake up this morning to find out that a friend and fellow wrestler Emory Hale has passed away. I first met him in 2002 when he was portraying the Lord Humongous gimmick in the indy scene. He tried to wrestle a match about 2 years ago, but he had all of these health problems and came backstage in pain. I will never forget that, but today his health finally got to him. He wrestled in WCW for a small amount of time around 2000. He was the guy that Jimmy Hart managed and had the "Hail Warning" thing. He also wrestled DDP on Thunder once but lost. Too bad that this happened, because he seemed to be a really nice guy. He gave me some pointers backstage and such...:( RIP

[jbailey84]

im sorry about Emory Hale :( wow he looks huge!

[ZombieMan]

Wasn't sure if many people would remember him from WCW, but thought I'd post it anyhow. Just in case. Anyhow, do you all think that Rey Mysterio will go for Cena's title or Angle's title? I think that he might go up against Cena because it looks like Angle might defend against The Undertaker at WM.

[jbailey84]

i wouldnt mind seeing Rey Vs Cena or Edge which i doublt he'll get the title back :(

yea Angle Vs Taker definately for WM 22.

hmm...i'll get back to you on my top 10 of Raw & Smackdown ;)

im happy to see that Gregory Helms has the cruiserweight title. so im guess he's on SD! now?

[ZombieMan]

^^^ I'm not sure if Helms will be on Smackdown or not. Thats really where he belongs, because he just isn't cutting it on the Raw roster anymore. His character isn't as exciting or "Raw". But yes, I hope that we will see Angle vs. Taker for the title at WM 22!!!

[ZombieMan]

I just read this HORRIBLE news on several websites...This is such a bad idea...

WWE trademarked the name "Armando Alejandro Estrada" last week. OVW wrestler Osama Rodrigues Alejandro will be using that name when he eventually gets called up to the main WWE roster. His gimmick will be loosely based on Fidel Castro as he will have a Latin American dictator character.

[jbailey84]

^^^ *shakes head* nucking idiots

[FVD]

That is pretty silly. Didn't they learn something with Muhammad Hassan?

And what the hell is up with that Spirit Squad? :rolleyes:

Here's my Top 10 favourites from each brand.

Where's Stacy Kiebler these days?

And I saw it coming with Helms winning the Cruiserweight title.

Did anybody catch Hacksaw Jim Duggan confront Edge and Lita on behalf of Cena calling Lita a.....

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DangerMouse]

Well here comes the Edge/Lita split.

Lita mistakenly nails him with the Championship belt so Edge gets the DQ win over Cena.

Anyone else wonder if they messed up the ending to that one? Everyone looked really confused on all sides.

[FVD]

Regarding Emory Hale. Yeah I remember him now that I see his photo. A shame really. RIP indeed :(

[jbailey84]

Where's Stacy Kiebler these days? shes on the show Dancing with the Stars. great dancer ;)

[Rogue]

Eh, I don't know who is where but here's my favorites -- Taker, Mysterio, Shelton Benjamin, John Cena, Lita..stop being a whore, Edge..stop being a whore and grow your hair. Gregory Helms/Hurricane. HBK. Victoria. Stacy.

Other favorites -- I love the Rock too bad he's snubbing the business that brought him his fame. I also have an unhealthy obsession (haha) with Jeff Hardy. DDP, even though he isn't WWE. I LOVE Jeff Jarrett hahaha..*cough*ass*cough*.

What the hell ever happened to Billy Kidman? I really liked him.


I thought it was really cool how Chavo did the Three Amigos and almost got Froggy and he pointed to Heaven and was like "This one's for you, Eddie." I miss EG so much!

[ZombieMan]

What the hell ever happened to Billy Kidman? I really liked him.


He got released last year. Too bad, because I also liked him alot...:(

[jbailey84]

what happend to Matt Morgan? i watched Royal Rumble 2004 last night and was impressed! he got released didnt he?

[ZombieMan]

^^^ Yeah, he got released too.

[chewie]

Does anybody think we will have a Wrestlemania rematch with The Undertaker vs Randy Orton? This time with The Undertaker as champion.

[chewie]

Anyone else wonder if they messed up the ending to that one? Everyone looked really confused on all sides.

I think the announcers just did a good job of playing the whole thing out.

[ChaCho]

Wow man i was very surprised with my predictions, i got a lot of them right, except the Royal Rumble, but im proud to say that Mysterio was one of my 4 picks, he really fought there, against HHH, Show, Kane, Lashley, RVD, Orton, he deserves this win, it would be really cool if he challenges Cena for the WWE Title, It would be cool but i think he wont go for the World Title now that Taker is after it, most probably we will see Angle and Taker at No way Out, he will lose there and obviously later win at Wrestlemania making him World Heavyweight Champion for the first time and making his record at Wrestlemania:


14!!!!!!!!-0

[Rogue]

Does anybody think we will have a Wrestlemania rematch with The Undertaker vs Randy Orton? This time with The Undertaker as champion.


I wish.... I love Taker.

[FVD]

shes on the show Dancing with the Stars. great dancer ;)

Oh cool. And yes she's a fantastic dancer. So does that mean she's no longer an employee of WWE? Or she's just taking a break just for the show.

[KingMizfit]

Sounds like Mysterio vs Orton for the #1 contender spot at No Way Out is a go. Also...Undertaker vs Angle at No way Out is confirmed.
Sounds like they will be going with a Triple threat match at Wrestlemania between Orton, Mysterio, and Angle.

[ZombieMan]

Oh cool. And yes she's a fantastic dancer. So does that mean she's no longer an employee of WWE? Or she's just taking a break just for the show.

She will indeed be back. :)

[LS2002]

Sounds like Mysterio vs Orton for the #1 contender spot at No Way Out is a go. Also...Undertaker vs Angle at No way Out is confirmed.
Sounds like they will be going with a Triple threat match at Wrestlemania between Orton, Mysterio, and Angle.


Nope I just heard there going with Orton vs. Angle

[FVD]

She will indeed be back. :)

Ah brilliant. It wouldn't be the same without her. :P

[KingMizfit]

Nope I just heard there going with Orton vs. Angle


So did I.....but I also heard about the triple threat idea too....so we'll just have to see.

[carnage4u]

triple threat are my 2nd least favorite matches.... i get almost no enjoyment out of them.. I hate single pin 3 people matches.

[ChaCho]

i wouldnt like that triple threat for the world title.
my guess is that the tournament on raw will go on, lets say big show wins, then rey will go to raw and get challenge for the wwe championship, making it a triple threat.
Undertaker as we know now will fight angle at no way out, angle will most probably win and they will fight later at wrestlemania. i dont think rey would want to challenge for the world title knowin the undertaker is on the hunt for it.

[KingMizfit]

triple threat are my 2nd least favorite matches.... i get almost no enjoyment out of them.. I hate single pin 3 people matches.


I'm sorry to hear that. HHH VS HBK VS Benoit was a helluva a match a wrestlemania 20.
You wouldn't love to see REY hit a double 619 on Orton and angle?


There is actually talk that REY may lose his #1 contenders spot to Orton at NO way out......which would put crazy heat on Orton and push angle as a Face for Wrestlemania.


Looking at everyone in the tournament on RAW, I would bet the farm on HHH winning it.
Carlitoor masters wouldn't draw as a main event opponent for Cena, and RVD and Big Show will not get pushed past HHH for the Main event slot. HBK will get screwed by the McMahons hyping their showdown at WM,so he won't be winning either.

[chewie]

According to new reports, the following matches appear to be planned for WrestleMania 22 this year in Chicago, IL. Again, plans can change at anytime, but this was the plan as of right now:

* John Cena vs. Triple H (WWE Championship)

* Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton (World Heavyweight Championship)

* The Undertaker vs. Mark Henry

* Shawn Michaels vs. Vince McMahon

* Edge vs. Mick Foley

[jbailey84]

i would rather see Cena Vs Orton for the WWE Championship at wrestlemania, but Angle Vs Orton i dont mind ;)

[jbailey84]

WWE has announced its slate of DVDs for 2006. Here is the complete list:

Austin vs. McMahon: The Definitive Collection
Brian Pillman: Loose Cannon
Hulk Hogan: The Ultimate Anthology
Born to Controversy: The Roddy Piper Story
The Spectacular Legacy of the AWA
John Cena: The Time is Now


out of those i want Austin vs. McMahon: The Definitive Collection,Brian Pillman: Loose Cannon
Hulk Hogan: The Ultimate Anthology, & Born to Controversy: The Roddy Piper Story.

i hope they do one on Curt"Mr. Perfect" Henning. i watched the Royal Rumble 2002 and i love hearing the crowd explode when his music hits. sure would have loved to seen him and Angle fight more than just the rumble.

[ZombieMan]

chewie, I saw that possible lineup on a website somewhere. I think that it looks like a horrible card...

[carnage4u]

if that card was accurate. i would not get wrestlemania

[KingMizfit]

Really? Why not? Cena and HHH would be fantastic. Hate the game all you want...but he can work wonders in the ring. I enjoyed all his matches at Wrestlemania...all of e'm.
Orton and Angle will be good, both can actually wrestle and understand how to put on a good show, throw rey in the mix, and it will be off the hook.
Henry vs Undertaker....hell yeah. Mark Henry has been gone awhile, but I remeber before he left he was just starting a good fued with Goldberg that I would have loved to see through to conclusion. Both are big guys, and he is a believable threat to the Taker. Plus...it gives someone to keep Takers streak at WM alive.
HBK VS MCmahaon? On paper it sounds bad...but this is HBK were talking about here. Hogan and mcmahon was entertaining as hell...and don't forget HBK can produce quality entertainment everytime hes at WM, and Mcmahon can be fun to watch get beat down.

Edge and Foley? Sweet. Let Mick get Hardcore on that little punk. Of course Edge will win, but it will be fun to see Foley beat him with Barbwire and chairs first.


I have faith in WM. It's the one PPV out of the year that I can order with confidence.

[FVD]

Well I'm watching Raw right now and is it just me or has Snitzky really lost some bulk on him. I'm sure his shoulders used to be huge. I think he's starting to look a little skinny.

[ZombieMan]

Well I'm watching Raw right now and is it just me or has Snitzky really lost some bulk on him. I'm sure his shoulders used to be huge. I think he's starting to look a little skinny.

Yep, I've been thinking that since WWE forced their drug policy harder on the wrestlers that I've seen a huge change in Snitsky and Triple H. I wouldn't doubt that those two were "sneaking" the juice (roids) every once in awhile. You can tell that Snitsky was doing it for sure. Remember the huge pimples on his back too? That was a major sign of the horse juice. ;)

[A+]

I've missed a lot recently, only caught a bit of Smackdown last night and wasn't impressed. Kurt Angle and Mark Henry in the title picture? Both of those guys just bore me. I like Orton, and Rey's a great athelete but is a foot shorter than everyone else, just doesn't seem to fit against guys like Orton and Taker.

Maybe I've got too used to watching TNA.

[carnage4u]

Holy crap, is the constant eddie reference getting old faster, and i have no intent to pay attention to smackdown while that continues. I"m fairly disgusted with it atm.

[ChaCho]

if those predicted matches was the card for Wrestkemaina this would be tjhe first wrestlemania i wouldnt order. orton needs to get the hell out of the run for the 1st contendership. REY WON THE ROYAL RUMBLE, NOT HIM! REY IS THE ONE WHO DESERVES THE TITLE SHOT. if orton wins at no way out it will be the last time i watch smackdown

[KingMizfit]

And where should Orton go exactly? Should he fued with guys like Simon Dean, or maybe Grenier? Maybe he should just quit wrestling all together......

Please. Mysterio and Orton are both right where they need to be. Hate Orton all you want, but at least his matches are quality. Why should a talented guy like him be buried down the card because some people don't like his personality?
Just wait until No Way Out. Ray and Orton will steal the show. The match will be fastpaced, and fun as hell to watch, and once it's over, you will want to see these guys in the ring together again.
Why does it seem to be that people judge wrestlers worth by whether or not they like the guys personality?
Do you guys watch what they do in the ring?
Pop in Cactus Jack vs Orton from Backlash once, or dig up an old RVD vs orton match from RAW.
Rey will get his day, heck, it's probably going to happen soon, But don't expect everyone else to just jump out of the way because hes a fan favorite.
If he can't hold his spot at No Way Out, then does he really deserve to have it?
Chances are my Triple Threat match will happen, simply because Orton and Rey are both too talented to put on the backburner.

[carnage4u]

if a wrsetler has no personality, they can often be considered boring... talent can make up for good portion of that, but no personality will at some point be the key factor and the person will fade aaway.

I just dont like the whole Orton cheap comments about eddie, its bad writing and just annoying..

Triple threat matches are just annoying because it comes down to the 1st pin. something ill never truly enjoy.

[Rogue]

Maria is one lucky *****, that's all I've got to say. Kissed by Cena! I'm jealous!

[filmstudent04]

eek ya idk bout mania, although i will say this...henry vs taker could be really cool or it could be realllllllly boring...i mean think back to taker vs yokozuna and he was a big guy, although henry's downfall is that he has nooooooo charisma whatsoever...we'll just have to see

Anyone else sick of the rated shut the eff up superstar? idk i personally just miss the days when the rock would cut promo's just rippin everyone to shreads and then beating down ppl too. i also miss jericho, and big show when he actually got real pushes, annnd actual good tag matches, man o man

[Glordreen]

I have a feeling it will be HBK vs Shane & Vince.

[Glordreen]

I'm sorry to hear that. HHH VS HBK VS Benoit was a helluva a match a wrestlemania 20.
.


I agree about the Triple Threat Main event at WM 20 with HBK, HHH, and Benoit. It was the best match of the night, and basicaly saved it from being a dull WM. That was supposed to be the best WM of all, and it was not even near that. They had no stipulation matches, and you need stipulation matches to make it exciting. So i bet Vince told HBK, HHH, and Benoit to go full bore, and all out.

I hat this mcmahons screwing HBK over, I want him to have one more title run before he's done, since He's had the title only once since he's been back

[FVD]

I wouldn't want to see Orton vs Angle at WM. It's Mysterio who won the Rumble so he better win at No Way Out. Surely they can fit Orton in there somewhere. We don't want another Triple Threat match now do we?

And I agree with the Benoit/Triple H/HBK Triple Threat match. That was stellar. And I felt Benoit's tears when he won that title. He made it look believeable. And when Eddie came out to celebrate with Benoit. I was really in tears. That was beautiful. :redface:

[ZombieMan]

For the first time in 9 years straight, I didn't see Raw last night. My sister had a baby (little boy) and I was at the hospital. :) Oh well, no biggie. Raw has been sucking lately anyhow. ;)

[jbailey84]

congrats uncle zombie ;)

[ZombieMan]

^^^ Wooohooo, thanks abunch! :) My 2 year old son is jealous as heck though!

[Rogue]

Man, I wish I had been in Maria's shoes and had John Cena lay one on me. *sigh*

[chewie]

I wish I had been in John Cena's shoes for that.

[DangerMouse]

They're going to use the match with Orton to make a Rey win over Angle more believeable.

Rey will beat Orton so it doesn't look like such a joke when he beats Angle.

Either that or you're only hearing a partial release of the WM card.

They wouldn't have gone to the trouble of having Rey win the Royal Rumble if he's just going to turn around and lose his shot with a loss to Orton.

If I were a betting man, I'd say they figure out some way to have a triple threat match at WM with Rey winning the title.

He won't keep it for very long, but I think he's going to win it.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

They're going to use the match with Orton to make a Rey win over Angle more believeable.

Rey will beat Orton so it doesn't look like such a joke when he beats Angle.
he's already beaten angle before.

[ChaCho]

Yo man next thursday do you guys think HBK will actually leave the WWE? I mean Vince said it, and well even if it sounds stupid what he says goes, he said HBK's luck would run out at the Rumble and bam it did. See before, when Vince said he would fire someone like he gonna do to HBK, Linda would come out and save the day somehow, but now she most probably wont.

I had a glimpse of the future, lol, and i found out two matches at Wrestlemania.
One: Kurt Angle vs Rey Mysterio for the WWE Championship
Two: The Undertaker vs Mark Henry

Rey will beat Orton at No Way Out
Mark Henry will interfere at No Way Out and make Angle win against The Undertaker. And of course then it will be just one more dragon that will try to take over the Kingdom, and The Undertaker will slay him. 14-0

Also: Congratulations Zombie

[KingMizfit]

I still say a three way dance for the title will happen. Simply because there is no other opponent for Orton at present. I don't see him getting in The U.S Title hunt, but it's not impossible either.
Given Rey's size...I just think a three way would be a more believeable match. Nothing against Rey, but a one on one against Angle isn't very exciting.
I remember back when No Way Out came to Milwaukee. I went. HHH's shot at Wrestlemania was up for grabs against Angle{this was the year the game won the RR} And HHH lost the match. He still went on to Wrestlemania anyway...so saying that Rey has to win at NWO because he won the rumble isn't accurate. They still have a month of storyline after NWO, and thats why Rey will probably lose.
It will piss people off and put crazy heat on Orton, and make Rey more of a favorite. He will still get in the main event slot somehow too. Whos to say Angle will even have the belt come WM? I can guarantee the whole face of Smackdown as it is right now will be different come Mania.
I know the spoiler reports insist on Angle defending, but WWE could throw a curveball at anytime. Also...people get injured. Betting the farm that it will be Rey and Angle at this point is not very wise IMO....
Don't get me wrong...I'm not against it....but I have a feeling Orton will be involved in the title picture too...like it or not. We'll just have to see.

[ZombieMan]

I'm bad about remembering, but when does the WWE Draft start? I can never remember what time of year that rolls around. Damnit! ;) Thanks in advance...

[carnage4u]

last year draft was during June. I hope to god its not a month long..
and should we be dreading the next diva search? i miss so much wrestling during that time, as i cant allow myself to watch.

[ZombieMan]

I hope that they do away with the Diva Search this year. I don't mind it so much, because we don't get to see much wrestling as it is. I'm just tired of hearing everyone complain about it, so it is obviously not popular. About the draft, yeah I hope to god too, that its not a month long. Here is what I would like to see as far as drafts, if I could pick 6 to trade over...

To Smackdown:
Val Venis
Ric Flair
Eugene
Trevor Murdoch
Matt Striker
Rob Conway

To Raw...
Hardcore Holly
Mr. Kennedy
The Boogeyman
Super Crazy
Paul Burchill
Road Warrior Animal

[jbailey84]

Mr. Kennedy on Raw DEFINATELY!

[ChaCho]

that would be nice, if he comes back by then

[jbailey84]

he should ;)

[ChaCho]

now that i think about it is he really that seriously injured. i mean we see him on Smackdown announcing and stuff, also on byte this. and he is always on his suits and stuff never wearing like a brace or showing that he is making a estrained movement, we could probably see him at Wrestlemania dont you think?

[KingMizfit]

I hear 4 to 6 months rehab time. He's just not ready for the physical demands of the ring yet. Their just keeping him on T.V. so we don't forget about him, and plus hes quite entertaining without being in the ring...at least I think so.

[jbailey84]

i just hope they dont use him wrong :(

[ZombieMan]

I agree with Mizfit. Kennedy is just as entertaining outside of the ring. The guy never goes blank-minded. He always has something interesting to say!

[ZombieMan]

I have some sad news, if you all haven't heard by now. Matt Cappotelli, also known as OVW Champion, and Tough Enough contestant came up with a brain tumor awhile back. When he was taken to the hospital after being knocked out in a wrestling bout', they found this tumor. It turns out that it is indeed cancerous and from a scale of 1-4 and 4 being the worst, doctors are saying its a 2. Cappotelli gave up his OVW title at the last show the other night, and here is a video if you are interested in checking it out. He gives a speech on the situation. :( My thoughts and prayers are with him and if somehow this man can pull through, I will be forever thankful. Because he is truly a blessed man, and got a long way with his career. He was about to be brought onto the main roster of WWE and this happened. I just hope that he stays strong.

http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/cappotelliovw

[jbailey84]

wow :( i pray that all goes well for him and his family. poor guy :( thats so sad

[FVD]

Very sad indeed. What's up with Tough Enough these days? Obviously it can't have done well if it had to be reduced to weekly segments on Smackdown. And where's Al Snow these days?

[Rogue]

So is Stacy coming back after Dancing with the Stars? Speaking of, did anyone else see it tonight? She was adorable! Stacy's a really good dancer. They called her The Weapon of Mass Seduction. :P

[carnage4u]

i find myself watching dancing with the stars for stacey.. shes very good in that show, and shes able to show off her skills very well.

[ZombieMan]

The Heart Throbs were released today and thank god! I was never a big fan, and they didn't interest me much. WWE was just wasting their money, since they weren't even using them much.

[ChaCho]

you know what i have been watching as of late that exreferee tim white.
all his attempts at suicide, that guy is nuts, some of them you can tell is fake, but other ones like droppin a toaster on a bathub, puttin a plastic bag over his head for a long time, this man is crazy, you should check him out.

[ZombieMan]

^^^ Yeah, I've seen that stuff. Its really stupid and a bad idea.

[ZombieMan]

I just got done watching Heat on WWE.COM and it was pretty interesting. First off, Goldfust faced Lance Cade in a decent match. I'm a big fan of both wrestlers, so it was fun to watch. Johnny Parisi made his return to the ring and faced Chavo Guerrero Jr. in what was a boring match to me. Guerrero always wrestles good, but Parisi didn't impress me one bit. The last match was for a shot at the Tag Team titles and had The Heart Throbs vs. Snitsky and Tomko vs. Venis and Viscera. That was a VERY good match and I enjoyed it much! I wish that it would have been on Raw. So, we have new #1 contenders to face Kane and Big Show. I will say that the ending of the match rocked, but I won't tell you all who won. You will have to head over and watch it yourselves. ;)

[jbailey84]

well i know its not the Heart Throbs because they just got released!

[Rich]

Nobody's going to be able to beat Big Show and Kane for the Tag belts IMO, they're just too big and powerful.

Especially not HEAT jobbers like Val "I suck but used to be in porn films" Venis and Viscera.

As for WWE Smackdown, WTF is up with all these constant references to Eddie Guerrero?! They only let Rey Mysterio win the Royal Rumble as a tribute to him cos Rey will not be main eventing at Wrestlemania, he will job his World title shot to Randy "I suck but my Daddy's a Legend" Orton at NWO.

[ZombieMan]

WTF is up with all these constant references to Eddie Guerrero?!

I don't know, but its sick and pathetic. Its also ONE reason that I gave up a recent internship with WWE...............................:nono: I don't think that I want to work with a company that has been doing some of the things that they are doing lately. Its getting to be bull****. I'm about to quit watching for once, which is totally odd for me. But, if this keeps up then I'll tune out too, and find something else to watch.

[filmstudent04]

Zomb man what type of internship did you have offered to you? and what would you be doing if you took that?

[ChaCho]

^i know i mean if its not cleaning anything you should take it.
i think wwe is ****ed up on what they are doing, i mean even if it was acting its a total disrespect to eddie's family and memory of him. I wish rey would do a 619 and break ortons nose

[FVD]

Heh the writers must have been reading these forums by putting Snitzky and Tomko together.

Currently watching Smackdown. Seeing them midgets wrestling followed by Finlay coming out to crash the party. Those midgets were very entertaining.

[ZombieMan]

Heh the writers must have been reading these forums by putting Snitzky and Tomko together.

Did you notice Val and Viscera back together as well? Hmmm, maybe a little somebody from the boards has been putting in a word or two. ;)

[ZombieMan]

Zomb man what type of internship did you have offered to you? and what would you be doing if you took that?

Creative Team...Lets put it this way, I know a few people that know some people. ;) Usually you have to have a bachellors degree in media studies, communications, or TV in some sort of way. Usually also have to have about 3 years in writing and production for network television. Thats why it was going to be an internship, to get me where I needed to be, to where I could go on my own in a few years. Its good to know the higher ups in life. I met alot of the "right" people up at Harley's academy and shows. He recently had WWE talent relations John Laurenitis up there scouting at a camp. You can check out his website...You will also find out that WWE road agent Ted DiBiase is always up there (his sons are training under Harley), and creative team manager Dusty Rhodes. ;)

[FVD]

Did you notice Val and Viscera back together as well? Hmmm, maybe a little somebody from the boards has been putting in a word or two. ;)

Yeah you're absolutely correct. :)

[ZombieMan]

^^^ I will still be talking to people and putting in words for people. I'm just gonna sit back and watch and forget about the deal that I had going. If I like what I see, I might ask for the oppurtunity again. But not until they get rid of using Guerrero's name in vain.

[ChaCho]

Incredible news what I have just heard
Bret "The Hitman" Hart will be inducted into the Hall Of Fame in April 1.
Thats awsome

[jbailey84]

so is Eddie G(r.i.p)

[ZombieMan]

I also hear that the Road Warriors are getting inducted and possibly Dusty Rhodes. I'm liking the lineup for inductees so far, and I hope that Owen Hart can get inducted sometime...:( I know that his wife won't accept though after reading her book.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer is reporting that Mike "Johnny Grunge" Durham of the popular Public Enemy tag team was pronounced dead on arrival earlier this morning at an Atlanta area hospital.

The only details available at this time are that he was at a friend's house in Peachtree City, GA and was reportedly gasping for air and then rushed to the hospital. The early word based on the preliminary diagnosis from the Atlanta hospital was that his passing was said to have had to do with complications from sleep apnea.

Grunge was one half of the Public Enemy tag team with Rocco Rock, aka Teddy Petty, who passed away in September of 2002 following a massive heart attack. Grunge was said to have never been the same since his passing. Public Enemy were first created in ECW and became subject to a bidding war between both WCW and WWF. The tag team was never successful in either WCW or WWF after they had left ECW.

Grunge is believed to have been 39 years old. On behalf of the entire staff at WrestleView.com, we would like to send out our condolences to the family and friends of Mike Durham during his hard time.

[ZombieMan]

To the 4-time former ECW tag team champion, and a WCW tag team champion, RIP Johnny Grunge...He passed away this morning at the age of 39, of complications of sleep apnea. I will never forget him and Rocco Rock (also RIP) as a tag team. I remember them bringing out the tables before the Dudleys. Woohooo, those were the days...He will be sorely missed and at least I got the chance to meet both of them at a WCW show back in the day. RIP Public Enemy...

(I posted this in the wrong thread earlier....YIKES)

[chewie]

Twas a good match between HHH and the Big Slow last night.

[ZombieMan]

Anyone want to bet me on Matt Hardy's partner being Road Warrior Animal??? ;) Haha!

[FVD]

Yup it looks that way.

[ZombieMan]

Yup it looks that way.

I could be wrong, you could win some money. ;) :P

[insaneMoViEgoer]

looks like john cena has a myspace
http://www.myspace.com/johncenasspace

if you're wondering if it's legit, the answer is yes. they have a link for it in his superstar page on wwe.com http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/johncena/

[Ser Ty Of Ross]

Anyone want to bet me on Matt Hardy's partner being Road Warrior Animal??? ;) Haha!


I'll take that bet.

[ZombieMan]

^^^ Ok, I bet you 25 cents and a fruit basket! ;)

[Ser Ty Of Ross]

Sure why not.

[jbailey84]

i heard that it was suppose to be CM Punk but something went wrong and its going to be Tatanka

[ZombieMan]

^^^ It will sure be interesting to find out. But my bet is on Roadwarrior Animal, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it is. It made me pretty upset that Heidenreich left the WWE, but a guy has got to do what a guy has to do when it comes to family. Animal and Hardy would be a good pairing.

[jbailey84]

what exactly happend on Byte This with the Heart-throbs? all i caught is that they gave away spoilers or said something they werent supposed to and thats why they got released, any info?

[jbailey84]

well so far i have 3 right on my picks. Helms retains title & JBL beat lashley. and looks like Tatanka is Matt's partner and they won!

im heading out. ill find out the rest of the results tomorrow. ive been up since 4:30am for work and its now 3:05am on my side of the world. night to all ;)

[insaneMoViEgoer]

what's the f***ing point of the royal rumble?

[Glordreen]

They should have just had Orton win the rumble. Then build the match between him and Angle

[ChaCho]

thats *****ed up takin Rey's title shot like that, i was at my friend's house and we made a bet, he beted on orton and me on rey, i lost so i had to drink three beers at once, cool bet huh? but sh*it poor rey. Wow was i impressed when Batista came out, man he could probably go against The Undertaker at Wrestlemania for the 1st contendership. So itll be orton vs angle at wrestlemania 22... not the greatest main event foe wrestlemania but o well.

[slinger]

Well they did this a couple years ago where Angle won HHH's title shot he earned from the Rumble. The next night at RAW for whatever crazy reason they had a rematch and Steph was involved, HHH won. Jericho was at ring side. The main event would've been better as a Triple Threat. Maybe they'll do that this year.

[jbailey84]

whoa i cant believe i went 5 for 6 of my picks!

[ZombieMan]

Arrrgh, now I am going to owe Ty a quarter and a fruit basket....DAMN THE LUCK! ;) Freakin' Tatanka, and he has sucked on his comeback. I'm not a bit impressed, I think that I've seen him do 1 suplex, and the rest was all chops and clotheslines. Yuck...He needs to pick it up a bit.

[Ser Ty Of Ross]

Some thoughts on how Wrestlemania is shaping up:

Is anyone else baffled by the decision to put the budding feud between Trish and Mickie on hold to promote Candace's Playboy spread :confused: I mean it was actually a Diva story that didn't quite suck. They at least could have made it a triple threat or something.

HHH vs. Cena.... pre-dict-a-ble. Somethign tells me the short lived Cena vs. Edge feud will have been more interesting (and probobly something they should have extended).

Orton winning the title shot... well it sucks... but there are rumours currently floating that they will make it a triple threat between orton Angle and Rey... which could be ok.

Another Money in the Bank match should be interesting enough.... Carlito, Masters, RVD, Benjamin maybe.... Big Show and Kane are likely.....

Big rumours on Taker vs. Henry.... sounds like a squash match for Taker to keep his streak alive... and he deserves better than that.

McMahon vs. HBK... not exactly the returning superstar match I'd have made but something tells me Vince isn't on the good side of a lot of his former employees. Considering the Jannetty appearance tonight perhaps it will turn into a Rockers vs. McMahons?

Foley vs. Edge.... Probobly a good match at least... if rather pointless... but I have faith in this one at least that Foley will make it entertaining.

Also where are the inter-promotional matches that made last years Wreslemania a little more interesting....

Not to mention this already looks liek a pretty full card... withnot much Smackdown on it at all... I know it's considered the secondary brand but for something that youre trying to promote rating on it's not a great idea to have your biggest event of the year so dominated by Raw. I'm sure a few more smackdown matches will be announced... most likely something to get as many superstars in as possible like a US Championship tornado match or something. But as usual the focus will be on Raw.

Oh and Zombieman... remember I'm allergic to apples ;)

[carnage4u]

a lot of my same thoughts on wrestlemania.
cena/hhh could be ok, but nothing more.


orton going for belt.. excuse me while i take a nap

edge/foley.. useless feud and waste of time

taker/henry? i cant wait for henry to die

money in bank..... could be fun....

candace better not get the shot at wm, cause that will make that crap.... taht battle royal last night was the worst thing ive seen in a while.

very weak wm card.

[jbailey84]

yea this years wrestlemania does seem pretty weak. :( this is something that i wouldnt mind seeing but wont happen

candace better not get the shot at wm, cause that will make that crap.... taht battle royal last night was the worst thing ive seen in a while.


If Candace wouldn't have announced her title match at Wrestlemania on the tonight show a couple of weeks ago....

Yeah, it was still bad and the whole Candace title shot makes zero sense....then again has the women's division actually ever had a real point to it?

[ZombieMan]

Ohhh man, I totally agree with Ty about alot of things...

The whole Candice Michelle vs. Trish Stratus thing for the Women's title makes me sick. I hope that this match gets changed, and turns into something else. Although, I really doubt it. But, I'm betting that this will be some sort of gimmick match.

Yeah, I would like to see The Rockers vs. Vince and Shane McMahon. Now, THAT I would totally watch!!! I think it would make for one of the best matches to be honest. Could be very entertaining.

The Undertaker vs. Mark Henry is a waste of time, and will be a horrible, boring match. I don't look forward to it...Of course, they better not let Henry win.

Yeah, another money-in-the-bank match would rule. I would make it Carlito vs. RVD vs. Chris Masters vs. Trevor Murdoch vs. Kane. Shake things up and put another star in there. Of course, I gotta be a fan of Trev, but y'know? It would be fun to see!!!

Orton vs. Angle really sucks, and they are both heels anyhow. I know for sure that they will go ahead and throw Rey Mysterio in the fold. They better anyhow, otherwise it would be pointless and no fun. I would love to see Mysterio win it, but I'm ready for WWE to quit Eddie Guerrero's death as a storyline. Its not even ****in' funny, or appealing one bit. Thats what made me stop watching Smackdown for awhile.

Triple H vs. Cena was a little predictable really. I knew that they wouldn't give it to RVD, and The Big Show is too boring. This match will probably suck big time...Horrible idea...

Foley vs. Edge = Boring, unless there is a fun gimmick like hardcore rules.

If I could make the Wrestlemania line up, like I want...It would feature these matches...

[KingMizfit]

You wouldn't include HHH at your wrestlemania at all?

Zombie! I can't believe you think Cena and the Game will suck. If anything this will be Cenas best challenger to date, and HHH can make anyone look good, even Cena.
I'm looking forward to that one.
I've been saying for a while it will be a three way dance over at Smackdown, simply because Orton is too good to leave out of the equation.
As far as this candice thing, I thought next week she would be challenging for the belt on RAW.....has it been confirmed her shot will be at Wrestlemania?
Makes more sense to have her enter as champ at Wrestlemania..........that way we'll all want to see her lose it.

I realize people may be sick of HHH, and mad at Orton because of Guerrero, but these guys can get it done in the ring, and at Wrestlemania, they will be very entertaining. I'm sure of it.
I feel both deserve the spot they have, and will not disapoint.

Overall, the Wrestlemania card as it stands now, through rumors and such, isn't that strong.
I can only hope that Bret being inducted into the HOF will mean he will appear at Mania.
I think it would be dope if he screwed Mcmahon back.
I would much rather see the Rockers take on anyone but the Mcmahons at Mania, but if Bret gets involved it will be historical.
They definately need to come up with some dream matchups, or have more legends than Foley involved to make Wrestlemania "Big Time" this year.

[ZombieMan]

You wouldn't include HHH at your wrestlemania at all?

Zombie! I can't believe you think Cena and the Game will suck.

Ok fine, Triple H vs. Randy Orton then. ;)

[Ser Ty Of Ross]

Honestly.... HHH is a good wrestler but he's letting his desire to be on top plus his influence get in the way of making the show better.

Word has it he's the only reason Cena got the title back in the first place, with the ratings beign higher during that period of Raw and Cena starting to get back over with the Male fans.... but the chase was too short for it to have any lasting effect.

Vince wants Cena to be his next Hogan but he's going about it all wrong and part of that is because of the advice of Triple H who is only trying to advance himself.

The HHH vs. Show matches have been great though.

[KingMizfit]

Believe it or not I think HHH does have the best interest of the company in mind. Edge couldn't headline a Wrestlemania, well, not yet, especially after the way he won the title.
I'm of the opinion that a win over HHH would solidify Cena as a "real" Champ, as fueds with Jericho, Angle, and edge haven't been able to do.
I got a gut feeling that HHH is more concerned with putting on a Wrestlemania worthy performance then actually winning the Title. HHH has already passed the torch to Orton, Benjamin,benoit, and Batista. HHH is the reason Batista is/was a respected champ, afterall, he took the Game 3 out of 3 times.
HHH doesn't get much credit for being a team-player, but he's helped get over plenty of stars the past two years, and I suspect the streak will continue with Cena.
Don't get me wrong though, It's entirely possible that he will win the belt back at some point.

And yeah The Show and HHH have had some great matches lately, and HHH and flair had a helluva match two weeks ago.

Whens the last time you can say Cena had a Helluva match?

[ZombieMan]

I will bet that Cena beats Triple H at Wrestlemania, and the feud continues forever, and ever, and everrrrrrrr...Eventually with Triple H winning it, then Cena winning it back, and so forth. I don't look forward to it, one bit.

[jbailey84]

totally agree with you zomb....wish it were RVD Vs Cena or even Orton Vs Cena

[ChaCho]

^nah Edge winning the title the way he did was pure genius, admit it, i hated it but genius.
now see for Wrestlemania i see no good matches but the one made yesterday
John Cena vs Triple H for the WWE Championship. Thats a nice main event, would have liked RVD better but HHH is Wrestlemania main event caliber any day.

Randy Orton vs Kurt Angle wow that sucks completely ass, but check it out, Batista has 1st contendership, he never lost the title so he has a title shot. So if its Kurt Angle vs Randy Orton vs Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship it would make a great Smackdown Wrestlemania main event.

If theres is a match for the first contendership for the World Title it would be nice like The Undertaker vs Mark Henry vs Rey Mysterio

If there is a match for the first contendership for the WWE Championship it would nice like Big Show vs RVD vs Carlito vs Kane. That would be really nice. And it would shape Wrestlemania much much better

[insaneMoViEgoer]

spoiler from smackdown taping

Randy Orton defeated Rey Mysterio for his Wrestlemania title shot this past Sunday at No Way Out. However, at the Smackdown tapings tonight, it was announced that Rey Mysterio will compete in the World Heavyweight Championship match at Wrestlemania anyways. Instead of the World Heavyweight Championship match being Randy Orton vs. Kurt Angle, the match will be Randy Orton vs. Kurt Angle vs. Rey Mysterio.

[ZombieMan]

Is it just me, or was the Chris Masters vs. Kane match actually decent on Monday night? I enjoyed it alot! Though, the end kind of sucked, with the big boot. Other than that, it was pretty damn interesting. I wouldn't mind seeing them two feud for awhile.

[jbailey84]

yea Master Vs Kane would be nice. or even Masters Vs Carlito.

has anyone noticed that once the interview with HBK or The Rock about the two fighting at WM 22 and The Rock said no, that thats when the whole McMahon/HBK thing started?

[ZombieMan]

As I posted over there in my wrestler evaluations. Did I call it, or did I call it? Nice to have pull with the WWE sometimes. ;)

Courtesy of WWE.com...

Wicks, Tolland released
February 22, 2006

WWE has come to terms on the release of both Chad Wicks and John Tolland who wrestled as “The Dycks.” We wish them the best in all future endeavors.

[jbailey84]

this is just a random thought which will probably never happen but do you think it would be cool if they made a dvd of the fans perspective of the WWE?

they can talk about their favorite moments they've seen on tv and/or in person. maybe some experiences of getting to an event or wrestlers they've met.

i think it would be interesting. if that was to ever come across there are 3 fans in general i would like to see.

1. The Howard Stern Guy (long black hair, always wears the black sunglasses, has a gotee or beard)

2. The Black(?) Cuban(?) Guy (real skinny, mocha light skin, wears glasses)(two guys to the left of the Howard Stern Guy @ ECW One Night Stand)

3. The Muscle Guy (blonde hair, wears a Tye-Dye shirt, has wrists taped up in white, always see him when they're at MSG)(also at ECW One Night Stand hehe)

[DangerMouse]

I'm not sure why the guy never really got the kind of over the top push he deserved, but if Chris Jericho comes back, let the man do his thing and push him for crying out loud.

Granted he got the first unified title. But his title run didn't last as long as it could have.

I've heard Vince was never convinced he could be a superstar. But the guy is so over with the fans its not even funny.

Jericho is second only to The Rock when it comes to on-mic skills and the guy can not only flat out wrestle, but choreograph as well. Anyone else remember the 8(7) man TLC match for the tag-titles from a couple of years ago? Kane and Hurricane retained the belts despite Hurricane not wrestling? That match is STILL one of my all-time favorie RAW matches. And guess who choreographed it?

How about either a Kurt Angle feud with Jericho as a face, or (what I think would be better) a high flying arial fued with RVD with Jericho as a heel.

[jbailey84]

what guy are you referring to?

[DangerMouse]

Chris Jericho.

[ZombieMan]

Is it just me, or is Matt Hardy starting to get interesting? His match on Smackdown kicked alot of ass! When he teamed with Tatanka against MNM. Also, is it just me or does Hardy need to give Tatanka some wrestling lessons? He seems to have forgotten how to do things other than clotheslines, chops, and hip tosses (Tatanka has). ;)

[jbailey84]

i think its just you zomb ;) i think Matt should have gone for the U.S. Title. but for now he and Tatanka will do

[ChaCho]

Matt is falling in my opinion. I mean, when he first got to Smackdown he did some nice roles and matches but wow i mean.... hes loosing it, i mean wasnt it just at Armaggedon or royal rumble he fought JBL, now what? hes after the tag titles for some reason with Tatanka, which i have to say has no grip on me, does not interest me. He could easily get on a good role with Benoit for the US title. those two could put great matches, they have before.
MNM should just stay tag champions forever, the tag team division is ****ed up, there is no way of fixing it. at all, there is no way.

[Ser Ty Of Ross]

Is it just me, or is Matt Hardy starting to get interesting?

It's definately just you.

Then again in my opinion Hardy shouldn't even have a place on the OVW roster.

[ZombieMan]

I think there might be some miscommunication here. I meant interesting as in his wrestling skills, not his character or current role. When he did the tag match the other night with Tatanka, Hardy kicked some major ass!

[jbailey84]

ok, gotcha ;)

still think he should go for the U.S. Title

[ZombieMan]

I just watched a few matches from Heat, and they weren't bad at all. We saw a rematch between Goldust and Trevor Murdoch, which turned out to be a real dandy! I really enjoyed it, other then the ****ed up ending...Which I still don't have figured out yet. I wish that they would bring that few onto Raw. Other than that, I also watched Lance Cade take on Chavo Guerrero, which wasn't as good of a match, as I had expected. The other matches were blahhhh...

That would've been interesting to see considering who they both are away from the characters.

I wonder if they worked any moves stiff a little bit "just because".

Trevor and Goldust? I'm sure...I saw alot of stiffness from both of them in the past few weeks. Its kind of funny to watch. I've been in the ring with Trevor and he won't hold back from actually knocking the hell out of you. It kind of gets irritating, but its funny to see him and Goldust kick the **** out of each other!

I bet. I wouldn't mind seeing Dustin drop the Goldust character and play himself (or do both-which would be REALLY interesting) and have him team up with Trevor, Randy Orton and David Flair whenever David Flair gets good enough and start a "Sons of Legend" stable. I think that would be a great fall back if (knock on wood) Trevor's push isn't successful the first time around.

Totally a good idea. They all have legends for daddies, and that would be such a great stable. I believe that David Flair is wayyy good enough to come to WWE. I don't know what the deal is with him. But, I would jump for joy if he signed a contract.

[DangerMouse]

Who's he wrestling for?

[ZombieMan]

^^^ He's been doing indy dates. I'm not completely sure on what feds, but thats the word on the street. ;) Anyhow about Raw last night. I really wanted to see Chavo beat Shelton Benjamin. I didn't care who won between Flair and Carlito. Then, I would have liked to see Trevor win his match, but RVD will do, I guess. As for Triple H and John Cena...I didn't think that I would ever say this, but I hope that Triple H kicks the hell out of Cena at WM. The whole Trish/Mickie thing is still really crazy, and I guess that they will turn Mickie into a complete heel closer to WM. Other than that, I don't really remember what else happened, so that must say that it sucked. Haha!!!

[ChaCho]

HBK is going to deliver hell to Vince and Shane. they crossed the line. And they didnt answer is Marty getting the WWE Contract, I mean, he never really submited to the Master Lock. man that Money in the Bank match is going to be great, I would love to see either RVD or Flair win it, either Flair making history by becoming an 18 time WWE Champion or with RVD by winning the WWE Championship for the first time.

[ZombieMan]

I would really prefer to see Ric Flair win the money-in-the-bank match to be honest.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

i would like to see him retire.

[Rogue]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA *cough hack hack cough* HAHA.


Ha.


I agree.

[carnage4u]

Was it just me.. i might be hopeful again, but was the crowd again turning on Cena and cheering Triple HHH. I swear i find cena more fun to watch, when hes playing a goodie, and the crowd boos him. It makes me so happy I could watch that all night.

[ZombieMan]

^^^ Yeah, and some of the things that Triple H and Cena were saying didn't sound much like a work. It sounded like they were actually pointing nasty things out about each other. I thought that was hilarious!

[DangerMouse]

There is definately a Cena backlash.

But I didn't hear anyone actually cheering Triple H. It was more jeering Cena.

I think people were trying to figure out who they hated more.

[jbailey84]

all i have to say is i hope that HHH does beat Cena, have RVD win the Money in the Bank, and Orton walk out with the title :D

i know EVERYONE will disagree with my last pick.

[filmstudent04]

i mean ya hate them both, but ya know what would be awesome during one of those hhh cena talking fights?...is if all of a sudden BAM *glass shatters, cue in austins music*!! Stone Cold just comes out and tears into them orrrr, cue in this music *If ya smelllll what the Rock is cookin!* the Rock makes an appearance saying how lame both wrestlers have become and talks about the good ol days and makes it like a fatal four way for the title! ohhh geez, see now that would be something fans would not expect buut we alllll know how these next few weeks are going to be...A-hhh and cena will have their tag match but somehow they'll end up fighting with one of the other walkin out on the other...then B-hhh will more than likely get john cena alllll bloodied up and cena will do his classic stumbling and bumbling act like he is soooo woozy from losing all the blood and then he'll have a big ol band aid on his forehead for Mania...then who knows what will happen at mania but by the looks of it, prolly hhh will win it. Oy yoi yoi, ya know i would really like one night for smart fans to try and write something for wwe because honestly the writing sucks...and I really dont think it is because of the actual writers...i mean ya they have a lot to do with it, but a big portion no doubt goes to vince who seriously tries to follow every other sitcoms way of doing things..he needs to go back to being spontaneous and creating his own controversy rather than just riding on the coattails of other trends that are occurring.

[jbailey84]

vince just needs to go back and let the wrestlers go back just doing what they wanted to do.

[ChaCho]

WWE should just fire everyone and make the fans wrestle

[insaneMoViEgoer]

and how would that make things better? they have good talent, they just dont know how to use them.

[jbailey84]

WWE should just fire everyone and make the fans wrestle just watch backyard wrestling ;)

[DangerMouse]

see now that would be something fans would not expect buut we alllll know how these next few weeks are going to be...A-hhh and cena will have their tag match but somehow they'll end up fighting with one of the other walkin out on the other...then B-hhh will more than likely get john cena alllll bloodied up and cena will do his classic stumbling and bumbling act like he is soooo woozy from losing all the blood and then he'll have a big ol band aid on his forehead for Mania...then who knows what will happen at mania but by the looks of it, prolly hhh will win it.

You mean you don't like the ole':

-Announce the match and have a staredown at the center of the ring where one wrestler says "we're not gonna wait for (insert ppv), we're going to settle this right here".
-Then Vince or the GM comes out and stops anything from going down and says they can beat on each other in a tag-match later that night or makes a tag match on next week's show. (or insert the ole "no touch" clause as per the wrestlers contract).
-Then during the tag match, the lesser wrestler will pin the star so the ppv match becomes more "believable".
or
-During the tag match, something happens and the match ends in a DQ because face and heel start beating on each other or s*rews the other one over.
-Then you get the meaningless title matches leading up to the ppv. Champ has to "defend" his title against someone we all know he will beat because it would scr*ew up the ppv bill. Or if it's a "non-title match", non-champion ppv opponet comes down and interferes with the outcome of the match to make the champ mad. Or if it's an actual title match, non-champion ppv opponet comes down and causes a DQ so the champ retains, but is PO'd.

Oh, and before I get the inevitable "what would you do" response, I would do what will NEVER, EVER be done.

Go with a PPV every other month and actually start changing belts (ie WWE Champ and Heavyweight Champ) on the actual RAW and Smackdown shows or at least change things up.

Take for instance the HHH versus Cena match. They are signed to meet each other at the PPV. Have a potential for Cena to get upset by HBK prior to Wrestlemania. If that happens, you have Vince vs. HBK for the title. So now you have a situation where Vince and HHH are put in a position where they need to help their opponet prior to the ppv so they can either get a title shot or keep a title shot.

Or better yet, and I have no idea why they haven't done this before, Wrestlemania should be champion versus champion.

SD Champion versus Raw Champion
SD USA Champ versus RAW Int. Champ
So on and so forth.

All title matches are non-interference matches meaning no superstar can interfere so you get a "somewhat clean" pin.

The winner stays champ, the loser is stripped of their title and a "brand" tournament is started that culminates with a title match to crown a new (or old) champion at the next ppv or (heaven forbid) a "Special Championship Edition of RAW (or Smackdown)".

Of course what do I know.:cool:

if they ever want to have a Raw Vs Smackdown type matches/ppv, save that for Survivor Series.

everything was better when feuds started months way before Wrestlemania and were good. and when feuds would last forever, dont see that anymore. feuds were better when it wasnt so much storyline, the story was told in the ring in a match.

Man i really like how good i am in predictin The Undertaker's matches.
Ok i was a lil off i said Mark Henry was gonna mess The Undertaker in the World Heavyweight Championship at No Way Out, well it was on Smackdown, but as I said Undertaker will fight him at Wrestlemania and his record will be 14-0

i guess he should have kissed vince's ass

- As previously reported, WWE released Marty Jannetty on Friday. There was speculation that this was part of an angle. Jannetty was scheduled to appear on this Monday's RAW in Birmingham, AL, but somehow he screwed up and upset WWE. He is not expected back and the angle involving him for RAW has been scrap. Jannetty was brought in for the Shawn Michaels/McMahon angle.
