Go WWE!

[jbailey84]

Carlito, Shelton Benjamin.. all these wrestlers need to do the same and paint themselves on Top Wrestler Picture before Vince hires some muscle monsters again that take all the fame. They need to slap themselves into success. I say it again HHH, HBK, Undertaker, Batista.. They are not gonna be there forever. yeah they need to realize they can be the Top Wrestler Main Eventing. Just like how there is no more Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Randy Savage, Bret Hart, Stone Cold, and The Rock. the wrestlers i really miss seeing wrestle are

Stone Cold
Brock Lesnar(yes i know he is going to the UFC, but man he was awesome in the WWE)
Bret Hart
Mr. Perfect (R.I.P)
Kevin Nash as Diesel
Scott Hall as Razor Ramon
Taz
Eddie G (R.I.P)
Owen Hart (R.I.P)
Chris Benoit (R.I.P)

Jason Sensation.

beat you to the punch Zombie :D

Thanks, I knew if Zombie could not figure it out you would. He was great and I knew if he was on Raw it would be a hilarious segment.

[IamMrDJ]

Thing about these wrestlers is they got to become popular with the fans to get big things. Look at Jeff Hardy, I said some time back that he would be great to carry a WWE Championship role, and he is. That Steel Cage Match against Umaga was really nice and the finale was just Jeff Hardy Trademark finish. And look he has been back for over a year now, fighting week in and week out, putting new moves in his arsenal, fighting matches to get popularity. And he did it, he climbed up the WWE Ladder the right way, like HHH and HBK. And now he's gonna main event Royal Rumble.

Carlito, Shelton Benjamin.. all these wrestlers need to do the same and paint themselves on Top Wrestler Picture before Vince hires some muscle monsters again that take all the fame. They need to slap themselves into success. I say it again HHH, HBK, Undertaker, Batista.. They are not gonna be there forever.

Jeff Hardy has gotten lucky in my opinion in a way. He has been given lots of chances and is finally realizing that if he blows this one then he is done. I have read that Jeff's push as Main Event might not last much after Royal Rumble because they are not sure if he is ready to be Top-Tier yet. I think he will make a great Top Wrestler one day but I think he needs to remain in the hunt for awhile.

As for Carlito and Shelton these are two wrestlers that think they are owed something. Up until last month Carlito wanted out because he was not happy with how he was being used. He was not being used much because he was not training and not selling moves in the ring. Vince and Carlito worked out some differences and now he is being teamed with Santino. Shelton has been in the WWE Doghouse for awhile now. Before they brought Haas back he was not training with other wrestlers and not selling moves or storylines in matches. He got a high and mighty attitude and thought he was a Top-tier wrestler. When they brought Haas back I thought it was going to be a change for Shelton and the reformation of a great tag team. That does not seem to have happened and now he has been shipped to ECW. Maybe he will realize he needs to work harder again because he has got great talent and could be a great wrestler for years to come if he works at it.

Jason Sensation.

beat you to the punch Zombie :D

You're a bastard!!! ;) I actually looked that guy up on Youtube awhile back, and couldn't find any good videos. I wanted to see his Owen impersonations!

[ZombieMan]

Also, I look for Shelton to go to TNA eventually, when his WWE contract ends.

[ChaCho]

I wouldnt want him going there. He just needs to slap himself, undye his hair, wear wrestling gear and work on a good story line. If Jeff doesnt get the title which unfortunely I think he wont, he could feud with Benjamin for the IC title. Those two would make great ladder and cage matches.

[SouthsideX300]

You're a bastard!!! ;) I actually looked that guy up on Youtube awhile back, and couldn't find any good videos. I wanted to see his Owen impersonations!

Aw man, remember that skit DX did about the nation? That was on the Raw 15th anniversery DVD. Man Jason Sensation was by farr the funniest

"IM NOT A NUGGET!!"

"I TRIED TO BE A TOUGH GUY, BUT I JUST COULDNT GROW MY DAMN BEARD IN!"

"WHOOOOOOOO"

You gotta see it!!!

[IamMrDJ]

Found this over at Rajah...

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

We reported earlier that The Wrestling Observer Newsletter had noted a big name of WWE's past - a multi-champion superstar was set to return with the company.

The January 14 edition of the Newsletter confirms that former multi-time WWE Champion Paul Wight - The Big Show - has either signed with the company or has agreed to a deal, and will be starting full-time very soon.

Big Show is down to 440 lbs after leaving pro wrestling to rest, and pursue a possible career in boxing, which obviously included boxing training that got him in quite a good shape. Dave Meltzer also mentions in the Observer that a part of his boxing deal was that Hulk Hogan was to be his "front man" acting like a manager in wrestling for him by doing promos and appearances. This was also the main reason many boxing promoters were actually interested in Big Show and paying him so much money to learn the sport. These plans, however, fell apart at some point, and Show realized that at his age, boxing might not be the right direction to go anyway. There have also been no recent updates or even talks of Hogan doing his own wrestling tour - a very discussed topic of the past. Hence with nothing on the horizon, Big Show is back with WWE.

I remember that segment!!! It was HILARIOUS!!! Totally my favorite one, maybe ever. It was real memorable!!! Also, about Big Show. I'll be glad to see him back. I always did like him.

[jbailey84]

maybe Big Show will return at the Royal Rumble and i've read WWE signed Ron Killings, maybe he can debute at the RR.

[IamMrDJ]

Yeah Killings signed and will be going right to the Big Time, no development for him.

[ZombieMan]

Yeah Killings signed and will be going right to the Big Time, no development for him.

I heard that Killings was signed. Thats terrible news to me. I can't STAND him!!! ;)

[ChaCho]

Who is Ron Killings?

Great the Big Show is back, would not mind him winning the Royal Rumble

[SouthsideX300]

He used to be K-Kwiq in the wwe Years ago. He's black kinda looks like elijah burke.

Good for big show. I heard he's down to 400 lbs. Hope he comes back at the rumble.

[jbailey84]

i remember when he made his debute in the steel cage match between Stone Cold and Vince at St. Valetines Day Massacre years ago, and the Big Show came up through the ring and threw Austin into the cage making it come open and Austin dropped to the floor and won the match.

[jbailey84]

news about Sting and Randy Savage dvd, from rajah.com

According to the Wrestling Observer the Sting and Randy Savage DVDs that were scheduled for release this year are cancelled. Kevin Dunn was told to create a list of "big names" that WWE could release DVDs for. Among the other names he came up with were Steve Austin, The Rock and Mr. Perfect. Vince McMahon nixed the Sting and Savage DVDs because he still wants nothing to do with Savage and Sting recently signed a new deal with TNA.

[jbailey84]

sorry for double posting, but whats the huge deal between Vince and Savage?
i thought the heat between Bret Hart and Vince was big, but this seems more.

[ChaCho]

Oh man that sucks. I wouldnt have minded seeing those DVD's.

Holyyyy fuc*!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeff Hardy is awsome

[ZombieMan]

i remember when he made his debute in the steel cage match between Stone Cold and Vince at St. Valetines Day Massacre years ago, and the Big Show came up through the ring and threw Austin into the cage making it come open and Austin dropped to the floor and won the match.

I remember that too, and how much I had anticipated that PPV. I think its one of my favorite PPV's EVER, actually.

[IamMrDJ]

I heard that Killings was signed. Thats terrible news to me. I can't STAND him!!! ;)

Well this might make you happy. I read his contract is actually less then a developmental wrestlers contract. Only bright side to his contract is he goes right to the main roster so he might have something inthe contract regarding profit on his merchandise.

He had wanted out of TNA for over a year.

[ZombieMan]

Ehhhhh, still don't like him. ;) LOL

[ChaCho]

I got to see him I don't know who he is.

Next week HHH has one more chance at the Rumble if he defeats a special opponent, I'm thinking Big Show.

[DangerMouse]

Has HHH turned heel yet?

[IamMrDJ]

Has HHH turned heel yet?

No he just destroyed the set to set-up for the introduction of the new set when Raw goes HD next week.

[DangerMouse]

So he's still doing the psuedo-Degeneration X angle? ie. thorn in Vince's side.

[IamMrDJ]

So he's still doing the psuedo-Degeneration X angle? ie. thorn in Vince's side.

Yep sure is. Right now he is too popular to make a real heel turn. Kind of like when Rock or Austin would try and turn heel it would not work because they were so over with the fans.

[SouthsideX300]

I wonder who HHH is gonna face at the Rumble, i really dont wanna see orton/hhh again.

[IamMrDJ]

I wonder who HHH is gonna face at the Rumble, i really dont wanna see orton/hhh again.

At the Rumble? Or before the Rumble? He is slated to be in the Rumble come next Sunday but needs to "qualify" this Monday. It will not be Big Show because it is being reported he will debut soon after the Royal Rumble because they don't want him to be viewed as "One of the 30 Participants".

[ZombieMan]

Watch Trips have to face Hornswoggle. ;)

[ChaCho]

Doubt it, Hornswoggle is already on it. Now that I Know Show is coming back later, I'm thinking Bobby Lashley

[SouthsideX300]

Damn it, i meant "I WONDEr who's HHH gonna face at WRESTLEMANIA". Not the rumble. I know jeff hardy's facing orton at the rumble. I meant i dont wanna see Orton/HHH at WM.

[IamMrDJ]

How Come? Triple H has not had a Main Event Push for the title for quite awhile. He has not held the Top Title since 2005.

[ChaCho]

Good matches, I hope they show some stuff of when he was RAW GM

[Starwars411]

I think HHH will be in a gauntlet match on RAW. But he'll still win it.

[ChaCho]

A gauntlet? I thought it would be a single match

[IamMrDJ]

It could be a single match but Vince could make it a gauntlet, so to make it difficult for him to get in the rumble. If it is a Super Show then I could see Big Vis and Mark Henry involved in the match somehow.

[chewie]

Maybe they just want everybody to think it will be a singles match.

[Starwars411]

Here's the video of HHH and Vince backstage when Vince makes the match, but all he says is that HHH is having a match, but doesn't say what kind of match.

Q7x7lL0WD5w

[ChaCho]

^True

We'll see

[Starwars411]

I can't wait for tonight's RAW since it's in HD. Plus, they built a new entrance and won't have the Titan Tron anymore.

[IamMrDJ]

I think HHH will be in a gauntlet match on RAW. But he'll still win it.

It could be a single match but Vince could make it a gauntlet, so to make it difficult for him to get in the rumble. If it is a Super Show then I could see Big Vis and Mark Henry involved in the match somehow.

I am thinking that Starwars and myself could either be psychic's or writers for the WWE.

[Starwars411]

I wouldn't mind working as a writer for the WWE, probably get some good money.

[jbailey84]

can zombie and i join? :D

[IamMrDJ]

can zombie and i join? :D

I am sure that the Iron Sheik could use a new MakeUp artist JBailey. :D

[ChaCho]

^Lol

can I join? Im sure someone will need to wash the wrestlers towels.

And Starwars tell us the thruth, are you HHH in real life? How could you have guessed exactly what kind of match HHH would be in, nice guess.

Well, cant wait for the Rumble.

[IamMrDJ]

Well, cant wait for the Rumble.

Starwars jumped in with the Gauntlet comment before I could. It was pretty predictable when it comes to Vince trying to ensure a wrestler does not get past something.

[ChaCho]

I was sure it would be against someone returning.
And if he was to make HHH not get into the Rumble, wouldnt have been easier to put him in a Handicap Match.

[IamMrDJ]

I was sure it would be against someone returning.

All returns usually happen after a big PPV so as not to tone down the storylines they had been building up.

As for going with a Handicap match, those take a little more time and unless you plan it out ahead of time they don't work as well.

[ChaCho]

True.

[jbailey84]

lol nice.

[chewie]

The Royal Rumble is the one PPV where a returning star could hop into the rumble match.

[IamMrDJ]

The Royal Rumble is the one PPV where a returning star could hop into the rumble match.

True but unless they were going to have him win it why would they have him return and lose right away? If it is a big name wrestler the would not want him to get buried right off the bat. That is one main reason that Big Show will not be returning until after the Rumble.

[HotBoy]

Question: Will Bobby Lashley be returning anytime soon? It was rumored that he wouldn't be returning (probably due to Kristal's being released) but I checked out wwe.com, and he is still on their list of superstars!

Also, will Candice Michelle be returning to WWE, or is she pretty much done with wrestling?

Both wrestlers have been rehabbing from injuries. Bobby should be returning within the next month. His rehab was a little more difficult then originally thought. Candice will be back in a couple of weeks. She is still rehabbing from a top rope injury she had last fall. My roommate met her at CES a couple weeks ago and she told him that her return is about a month away.

[IamMrDJ]

Well this was just posted on Bobby's Message Board.

Bobby Lashley posted on the message board of his official web site today that he will not be returning to WWE. Below was Lashley’s message:

I am sorry to everyone here but I am serious when I say I won't be back. Everyone wants to come here and hear the real story and I am telling you the real story. Circumstances which are out of my control left me no decision but to leave the WWE. I can't go into details of this now but like I said before sometimes people will hate you personally and try to destroy you which has happened here. Evil has prevailed however like I said before if you continue your struggle doors will open around these people. You have not scene the last of me so please don't stop your support. Add Bobby Lashley to the list of RECENTLY RELEASED!

We will have more details on this shortly.

OK this information is now being reviewed and may have been posed by an importer. Until WWE officially announces anything it is all hearsay. Sorry to jump the gun on posting the info

[Faith27]

When was Bobby LAshley left WWE???...I wonder whats her real reason..maybe he had a big argrument with one of his co-worker or management.

[ChaCho]

I remember he got injured wrestling Mr. Kennedy. Hope he does come back, I mean, he was a good wrestler who could keep a role entertaining.

[jbailey84]

Well, that's good! And one last thing: how is Cena's rehab going?
who cares ;) suppose to return and be a part of WM. dont know if it will be wrestling role, maybe Special Guest Referee?

[IamMrDJ]

who cares ;) suppose to return and be a part of WM. dont know if it will be wrestling role, maybe Special Guest Referee?

He did an interview overseas where he said he will be at WrestleMania but probably not on Camera much if at all and most likely not back in the ring until close to June. In May he is suppose to start filming the next WWE Film, "12 Rounds". It is similar to "The Marine' in the fact that instead of playing a Marine whose Girlfriend/Wife is kidnapped he will be playing a Cop whose girlfriend/wife is kidnapped.


Looks like Bobby is gone from WWE.
We are now able to confirm that Bobby Lashley is gone from World Wrestling Entertainment. In a phone call placed to WrestlingNewsWorld.com’s Ryan Gray, Lashley said that he is gone from the company. While he would not give any specifics he made it clear that he did not want to leave but had too due to circumstances beyond his control.

Lashley told WrestlingNewsWorld.com’s Ryan Gray that he was training hard for a potential career in Mixed Martial Arts. The former ECW Champion said that despite the fact that he wanted to pursue an MMA career, it would not be with UFC.

Lashley would not comment on whether or not he would be interested in going to TNA Wrestling. He said that WWE has granted his release but it would not be announced until the paperwork was finalized.

[jbailey84]

thats crazy about Lashley. my tattoo artist in Germany dated him when she was in Colorado years ago. she said he was never that muscled.

well, when i was in San Antonio, i went to the World of Wheels and got to meet Virgil.
http://a571.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/109/l_563049f0ac8d5c428cd763e414279f62.jpg

his autograph was $20, all i had was $7, so i asked for a picture with him(for free of course) and he said yea :D

[IamMrDJ]

I met Lashley when he was training here in CO a few years back. Very cool and personable. I think his biggest drawback in the WWE was his mic skills. I think if he would have had a good manager who spoke for him he would have done better within the company.

That is cool you met Virgil, I think a pic with him is worth more then an Autograph, but damn he is still charging $20.

[jbailey84]

maybe if Lashley had Paul Heyman, like how Lesnar had him. just too bad Paul & WWE werent seeing eye to eye.

yea a pic with Virgil i think is more than his autograph. he's a cool guy and all, just damn, $20? really?

[ChaCho]

I wouldnt pay for an autograph. You must be lying, you probably got the pic and autograph.

Man it sucks Lashley is out

[IamMrDJ]

I wouldnt pay for an autograph. You must be lying, you probably got the pic and autograph.

Man it sucks Lashley is out

Hey most of the Wrestling Conventions do charge for Autographs, that is how they make most their money for appearing.

The 2 WWE autographs I have right now are from Torrie Wilson when I met her a couple years ago and Candice Michelle that my roommate got for me at CES a couple weeks back.

[SouthsideX300]

why would I lie about that?

No like im saying, I thought like they liked to appear, give back to the fans. I didnt know they would charge you for giving an autograph... that sucks hard balls.



And damn you got the autograph of probably the hottets women wrestlers ever.

[jbailey84]

so what does everyone think of Chavo winning the ECW belt?(fromthehelpofEdge). i think its cool he got a major title, something besides the Cruiserweight. should be interesting with the Rey/Edge title match at the Royal Rumble.

[SouthsideX300]

Chavo is the ECW champion???? Thats... Horrible..

[jbailey84]

yup. Edge speared Punk and Chavo won. like i said, should be interesting with the World Title at the Rumble this sunday.

[ChaCho]

yo that sucks, right now ECW should just blow up and kill the franchise for life. Nothing against Chavo, but the only time i ever saw him use any weapon, was that chair he used on Rey and injured him. This is really gay. I dont watch ECW for a long time now, now im definitely not even if the other show is a marathon on bees

[DangerMouse]

What do you mean it should be interesting?

Punk will cost Edge the title to Rey at the Rumble.

[HotBoy]

IamMrDJ, I've got a question for you: when an aspiring wrestler joins the WWE, they're sent to development, right? How long does that usually take?

The reason why I asked is because last August, the WWE hired a new acquisition, and is in their development division now. Her name is:

http://www.legendschampionshipwrestling.com/uploaded_images/l_eeb428476e28aeeff1a3b01f09869682-727205.jpg

LACEY VON ERICH

I know this isn't breaking news, or anything, but:

1. She just so happens to be the daughter of the late Kerry Von Erich!

2. With the women's division on RAW being in the shape it's in right now, she'd be a more than welcome addition to the WWE.

Development can take a wide range of times. Some wrestler have been in development for a couple of years. It all depends on how they are progressing in the development of their in-ring skills and even mic skills. I remember reading a headline in the last week or so about Lacey saying that her development is taking a bit longer because she is not putting in the required effort. Instead of training she is out of town hanging out with her boyfriend. I will try and find the news article later after I get home today.

[DangerMouse]

WOW! She looks JUST like her dad...except she's hot.

[SouthsideX300]

Wow shes gorgeous

He's right, except a lot of developmental talent get dropped within a year or so. With her, I doubt that will be the case, since she has a big name.

[IamMrDJ]

That is true. Hopefully she will not get to high on herself and turn out like a certain Hart offspring named Teddy.

[jbailey84]

anyone but The Miz ;)

[chewie]

Just something interesting to note. Bobby Lashley was invited to his high school alma mater today at Junction City, Kansas for their wrestling tournament. He spoke a few words before the tourny started and was said to be very friendly to everybody signing autographs, etc. He was also going to meet with the team after the tournament was over with.

I could see Undertaker winning because I think they are trying to have him go against Edge at Wrestlemania for the title.

EDIT: I bet one of the remaining spots will go to CM Punk.

[jbailey84]

even if The Undertaker doesnt win, im sure they'll come up with something before Wrestlemania(like how they did with Orton at WM 22)

[Starwars411]

There's always the Elimination Chamber match at No Way Out if he doesn't win tonight.

[IamMrDJ]

There's always the Elimination Chamber match at No Way Out if he doesn't win tonight.

Yeah I am trying to figure out who wins the Rumble tonight and whose title they will go after. If a Raw superstar wins the Rumble and goes after the SD title then the Raw Wrestlers will be part of the Chamber to face the Raw Champ. Based on the No Way Out poster with Jeff hardy pictured I think that whomever wins the Rumble tonight will go after the SD title. I am not sure if they would have taker win the Rumble 2 years in a row. But I am starting to think that possibly the newly qualified CM Punk could pull out a victory tonight and challenge the Edge/Rey winner.

[jbailey84]

i read somewhere that the EC at No Way Out will be for the Raw Brand no matter what.

an CM Punk/Edge/Rey feud would be great!!

[Starwars411]

Well I was reading at www.prowrestling.com that CM Punk qualified yesterday to be in the Royal Rumble. He beat Chavo.

30 Man Royal Rumble Match
Im going with three, Undertaker, HHH, HBK.

[jbailey84]

and if somehow theres a random diva match tonight, im going with Mickie James :D

[jbailey84]

John Can't Wrestle Cena?! Are you freakin kiddin me!?! :mad:

[chewie]

The WWE did a good job of keeping his return a secret.

[jbailey84]

hell yea they did!! big time!! i wish they would do that with EVERY return.

i liked the stare down with the final 3. Batista does his tumbs down pose, Cena does his U Cant See Me, and HHH replies with Suck It!! great :D

loved seeing Piper!!

this years Rumble was really a step up. i didnt like however that they really didnt show who was coming out when the buzzer went off.

[chewie]

I liked the fact they put the rumble match as the main event of the show. In the past at times they have had a championship match as the main event instead of the rumble match.

[jbailey84]

yea. bout time they do.

went 2-3 on my picks :(

was different to see Michael Buffer announce the Rumble.

[ChaCho]

I was 3-2.

Man I was betting on Taker and HBK and they the first to come out, then HBK eliminates Taker I was like FUC*, then right away he's gone, I was like DOUBLE-FUC*.

Man Cena returning was great, really cool and great. I would have liked Batista and Cena at the end, you know the rematch from the '05 Royal Rumble.


FUNNY PPV MOMENT:
Tell me when HHH, HBK, Batista and Flair were in the locker room having the conversation, wasn't funny?

HHH: Alright guys concerning tonight, may the best man win.
Batista: Yeah, the best man will win.
HBK: Guys, guys, come on, we can all agree on one thing... That the VERY BEST will win... And he will be wearing the new HBK T-Shirt *Pulls up the shirt* available at wwe.com
LOl

[IamMrDJ]

I was at my parents last night so I did not keep an eye on the Rumble. My friends and I had ordered the last 7 rumbles but this we decided not to because we had been a bit disappointed as of late. Looks like we made a bad decision. Overall, the card sounded great going in except for the JBL/Jericho match. I have no interest in that one.

The title matches sounded like solid matches as did the Flair/MVP match. the Rumble match delivered on all fronts. For the first time in quite a few years I did not have a true idea of who would win. Whether you like him on not Cena's return last night was one of the biggest shockers in years. Not a word was mentioned online about his possible return to the ring last night. Most reports coming out had him a 2-3 months from returning. I have to give props to the WWE for finally keeping something a secret. It will now be interesting to see where storylines go from here. Could we see HHH vs. Batista at Mania? Orton vs. Cena and Edge vs. Taker?

Another friend of mine recorded the Rumble last night and is saving it until I get over to see it. I am looking forward to seeing how it all went down last night.

[ChaCho]

Your right, apart from the JBL and Jericho match, which was very short, the Rumble was very good.

I think we will see Cena vs Orton, remember he was that injured Cena in the 1st place. Would not be surprised if HHH was put into that match too.

[jbailey84]

info about Cena's return

When John Cena had surgery four months ago to repair his torn pectoral muscle, WWE reported that the recovery time would be 6-9 months. Recent interviews by Cena confirmed that he was still on that same recovery schedule, which made last night's return at the Royal Rumble a huge surprise.

When John Cena and WWE received word that he was physically cleared to wrestle, they immediately decided to keep it a secret to mislead people as to his true health status.

News about Cena starring in the new WWE Films project "12 Rounds" is true. What wasn't true is the time it will take to film the movie. Cena told the UK Sun newspaper last week that it would take 5 months to film. In reality, this was greatly exaggerated. WWE has applied for permits to film in New Orleans, which will take 4-6 weeks.

Because Cena will be filming in the United States, he'll be able to make appearances on WWE television leading up to WrestleMania.

[DangerMouse]

What was the result of the Rumble?

I can't access WWE.com at work.

What's going on with CM Punk? Is he going to make the move out of ECW?

[jbailey84]

Cena returned as entrant #30 and won it. the final three were Batista, HHH, & Cena.

no idea about Punk.

[ChaCho]

Ive said it a lot of times, ECW needs to finish and divide the wrestlers among RAW and Smackdown

[IamMrDJ]

IamMrDJ, I've got a question for you: when an aspiring wrestler joins the WWE, they're sent to development, right? How long does that usually take?

The reason why I asked is because last August, the WWE hired a new acquisition, and is in their development division now. Her name is:

LACEY VON ERICH


Well I could not find the original article wanted to on Lacey but this new story popped up today. Lacey was released by WWE a few weeks back due to lack of commitment to training and is looking for more Indy promotions to continue training.

Recently released developmental diva Lacey Von Erich will continue her wrestling career. She recently updated her MySpace page with this: "I'm living in L.A. and love traveling and wrestling with different federations... W.W.E. introduced the moves to me while being in their developemental program in Tampa, Fl."

[HotBoy]

Well I could not find the original article wanted to on Lacey but this new story popped up today. Lacey was released by WWE a few weeks back due to lack of commitment to training and is looking for more Indy promotions to continue training.That's unfortunate, but maybe after she works in the Indy circuit for a while to get her act right, she'll be ready for the WWE.

Although you never know!

[ZombieMan]

^^^ A lot of people have their chance and lose it, and never get it back. Though, like I said before. She's already a big name, so I bet that they pick her back up.

[HotBoy]

Oh, and here's someone else to look for in the future:

http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/4525/nattieneidhartdj8.jpg

NATALIE NEIDHART

[IamMrDJ]

Oh, and here's someone else to look for in the future:

http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/4525/nattieneidhartdj8.jpg

NATALIE NEIDHART

Now she is going to be a big performer. She is already working SmackDown House Shows and has her head on straight when it comes to training and putting in an effort.

[Starwars411]

SMACKDOWN SPOILERS

Two matches were announced at the Smackdown tapings tonight for No Way Out.

Rey Mysterio will go against Edge for the World Title.

And there will be an Elimination Chamber Match for the Smackdown superstars (just like there is for RAW), which will include: Batista, MVP, Undertaker, Finlay, the Great Khali, and Big Daddy V. The winner will face the World Champ at WM24.

That'll be cool that two Elimination Chamber matches happen.

[jbailey84]

dammit you beat me to it 411!!

2 for 1!?!

[IamMrDJ]

I read that last night and thought about posting but thought I would hold off on it. Are we going to maybe hear about an ECW Chamber at the same PPV for the ECW title at mania? I sure hope not cause well, that is a bit of overkill.

[jbailey84]

they should just have a Fatal Four Way for the ECW Title

[SouthsideX300]

Lets start the Wrestlemania predictions. For now we'll just guess what matches are gonna happen..

CENA vs HHH vs ORTON

Taker Vs Edge

MITB punk, hbk, jeff hardy, matt hardy, big daddy v, batista

Kennedy vs Flair

[jbailey84]

ive read that Shawn Michaels actually wants to fight Flair at WM, so that could trade with Kennedy for MITB.

[IamMrDJ]

Mania Predictions:

Raw Title: HHH vs. Orton

SD Title: Taker vs. Edge

ECW Title: Chavo vs. CM Punk

US Title: Rey vs. MVP

Raw Tag Titles: Santino/Carlito vs. Rhodes/Holly

Womens Title: Maria vs. Beth

Crusierweight Battle Royal: Hornswaggle, Victoria, Jamie Noble, Funaki, Jimmy Wang Yang

MITB: Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Shelton Benjamin, Kennedy, Morrison, ???

Cena vs. Batista

HBK vs. Flair - Career Ending Match

JBL vs. Jericho - Last Man Standing

Finlay vs. Khali - Punjab Prison Match

[IamMrDJ]

ive read that Shawn Michaels actually wants to fight Flair at WM, so that could trade with Kennedy for MITB.

Damn you, if I had not gone in to detail on my picks I would have had that in before you. :D

[DaRkKnIgHtDeTeCtIvE]

Seeing how the WWE knew that Cena was returning 2-5 months earlier than they let on, what does that say about the hype over Y2J's return and the whole saveus promotion. Was the WWE just panicking and trying to fill the main event card or is this just a matter of bad timing for Jericho's return, both for him and the fed? It seemed to me he was hyped to come in and take out Orton, then this whole JBL/Y2J thing has bogged that idea down to mid card status. Maybe Vince just doesn't believe Y2J can draw as the top main event star in the company?
Also, I agree about ECW, blow it up and hold a draft of sorts and split the roster between RAW and Smackdown!!

[IamMrDJ]

WWE found out 2 weeks ago that Cena could return early. They did not know a long time in advance. Y2J was rumored to be coming back for quite awhile even before Cena went out. HBK's return from injury actually came on the heels of Cena going down alst fall.

[Faith27]

I love WWE...I always watch this since when I was a kid....one of my favorite wrestler before until now is HBK.....I also wait to see wwe divas..they're so hoooott......

JBL vs. Jericho - Last Man Standing

Finlay vs. Khali - Punjab Prison Match

I think you are right, on just about all of those. I want to see Finlay wrestle someone else. I would love to see him and Regal feud, and see all of the suplexing and old-school type moves. That would make for a series of good matches, I think personally. HBK vs. Finlay would also be cool. I can't stand Khali, he's sooo boring with his 3 moves. ;) Oh yeah, Rhodes sucks ass too.

I was trying to figure something else out for Finlay, but after seeing him in the MITB match last year i don't see them putting him there again. He actually turned 50 today. I hate Khali as well. Finlay vs. Regal would be great even if it was for just the one PPV. I know you hate Rhodes that is why I can see Holly turning on him at the PPV and Carlito/Santino picking up the tag titles. Rhodes and Holly reminds me of 1-2-3 Kid and Holly from back in the 90's.

How long is this PPV going to be with 12 matches? Looks like Wrestlemania XX territory with that many matches.


Cena vs. HHH for WWE title
Edge vs. Undertaker for World title
Batista vs. Orton
HBK vs. Flair
MIB Ladder Match with Jeff Hardy, Kennedy, Rey Mysterio, CM Punk, Shelton Benjamin, and Matt Hardy
MVP vs Kane for US title
Jericho vs JBL in some gimmick match
some type of woman's match involving Maria

Mania is usually 4 hours long. the women's match could be 10 minutes and the Cruiserweight could be a total of 10 minutes too.

Finlay Vs Khali = SNOOZE FEST

Beth should defend her title against Mickie James.

why would Victoria be in a Cruiserweight Battle Royal?

other than that, pretty good card.

[IamMrDJ]

other than that, pretty good card.

Finlay vs Khali is just a quick one I came up with, cancel that one.

Beth will most likely be facing Maria because she is the Playboy Cover Model at the time, and as tradition goes the Cover Girl gets the title shot.

Victoria has stated in numerous interviews that she wants to win the Cruiserweight title this year.

[ZombieMan]

You know what I would really like to see? A Buried Alive Match for the World Title at Wrestlemania. Between Edge and Taker. ooooooo sweet revenge.

Oh wow, good idea. I would love to see that too!

[IamMrDJ]

That would be a great match but my question is this. Whose undefeated streak at Mania will end then? They have both never "lost" a match at Mania. ONe of the streaks will have to come to an end.

[jbailey84]

i havent kept up with SD so i didnt know that Victoria wants the Cruiserweight title.

Buried Alive would be a cool match for Edge/Taker, but i would rather see it end with the classic 1....2....3

someone above mentioned Finlay Vs Regal, that would be great.

WrestleMania XXIV is expected to be the clumination of Ric Flair's retirement storyline and his final match in WWE. Two names that have been discussed as possible opponents for Flair have been Mr. Kennedy and Shawn Michaels. It now looks like Shawn Michaels will be Flair's final opponent.

Two independent sources within WWE have confirmed that the current plan is for Michaels to end Flair's career and that Vince McMahon has already approved the match.

We will see what plays out in the coming weeks but that is the current scenario being discussed.

This will be a great match.

[slinger]

That would be a great match but my question is this. Whose undefeated streak at Mania will end then? They have both never "lost" a match at Mania. ONe of the streaks will have to come to an end.

Wouldn't surprise me if WWE had one pinned and one submit at the same time resulting in a draw.

[jbailey84]

that would be interesting

[ChaCho]

No screw that, Taker will HAVE to win. Bury Edge alive, oh man I would adore that.

HBK vs Flair is actually a very good match, an excellent match. For the Icon to defeat THE Icon, would be great.



Also has anyone ever played Smackdown vs Raw or any wrestling game? Have you seen some match called Battle Royal, but its not of throwing over the top rope but with pin or submission and its like 6 wrestlers at the same time. That would be a great match to see.

[jbailey84]

yea ive played the SD Vs Raw games. i love making PPV's. god i used to be a big nerd with that lol. i would have the computer do everything.

i had Eddie G Vs Edge Vs Kurt Angle (SD Champ) as the main event for WM, and Edge literally stole the match. somehow the ref got knocked out, Edge got a chair, hit both men. pinned Angle and the ref counted the 1.2.3. lol so weird.

what match would the Battle Royal be for? like what stipulation.

[Faith27]

I can't believe that Melina and Batista are still dating:omg: ..I don't like Melina for Batista...huh!

No Way Out Spoilers and Mainia Plans...

source: www.f4wonline.com

The plan right now is for John Cena to wrestle Triple H for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania, which means Cena is winning the title from Randy Orton at No Way Out, which takes place on February 17 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. There have also been talks of doing a three-way match at WrestleMania between Cena, Triple H and Orton. Either way, Triple H and Cena are definitely going to be in the title match.

It will be revealed on tonight's edition of SmackDown that not one, but two Elimination Chamber matches are taking place at No Way Out; one featuring Raw wrestlers and one featuring SmackDown wrestlers. The wrestlers competing in the SmackDown Elimination Chamber match are as follows: Batista, Undertaker, MVP, Finlay, The Great Khali and Big Daddy V. Plans call for Undertaker to win SmackDown's Elimination Chamber match at No Way Out, which means that it will be Edge vs. Undertaker for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania. WWE has been planning a Taker vs. Edge WrestleMania match ever since Edge's move to SmackDown last spring.

[saveus1011]

I'm tired of Triple H.

Wait, I've been tired of him.

[jbailey84]

bout time you join us saveus.

i dont mind HHH, i mind Cena. i would love to see HHH vs Orton Vs Cena. just as long as Edge Vs Taker is the main event :D

[ChaCho]

^Definitely. About the Battle Royal, I dunno, for a Title Match at Mania. IC Title maybe?

[SouthsideX300]

Ugh, i see cena winning the belt at No way out or WM. bOoooo

[jbailey84]

exactly, BOOOOO!!!!

[ZombieMan]

Not a Cena fan, BOOOOO!!!

[ChaCho]

What the hell why not? I don't get why you guys dont like him, hes cool

[Starwars411]

No, he's not.

He was cool when he was a heel, but now he is just Vince McMahon's pet.

[jbailey84]

he's cool to meet in person, which i have.

and i agree, for some odd ass reason he is cool as a heel. i liked it when he would come out and do his "flow" and diss the city they were wrestling in.

Vince's money pet.

[ChaCho]

what do you mean his pet? like do what he wants?
I dunno, but he has made some good ass matches. The ladder match with edge, the triple threat with HBK and Angle, the main event at Wrestlemania against HBK. He's cool. His Royal Rumble victory was cool too.

[jbailey84]

here is the result of the UFC debut of Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir
Heavyweight Fight

Round One:

And, we're off!

Lesnar shoots for an immediate takedown and gets it, landing in Frank Mir's half guard. He pounds away at Mir from the top, and Mir works hard to escape.

It turns out that Lesnar hit Mir in the back of the head; Mir gets time to rest, and Lesnar's been docked a point.

Mir tries for a kick, but Lesnar counters with a right hand that drops Mir. Lesnar gets on top and keeps throwing hands. Mir uses his legs to create distance, but Lesnar keeps coming.

Lesnar then tries to work through Mir's guard, but in the process, he gives up his leg, and Mir secures a kneebar to get the submission. Incredible change of pace.

Frank Mir won via submission (kneebar) at 1:30 of Round One.

what a disappointment. i read that Kurt Angle was in attendance.

[IamMrDJ]

That is great to hear. I didn't think he would do so good after having only one fight.

[jbailey84]

im disappoined that it lasted 90 seconds!!

[Starwars411]

Mir was right when he said that he had to beat Brock fast or else he would be screwed. He definitely reached his goal.

EDIT: I went to www.wwe.com and the past couple of days they were advertising Brock's fight and now there is no mention whatsoever. They even had a poll asking you if you think he'll win or not. Guess they had some faith in him.

[chewie]

I watched the fight. Kurt Angle, The Undertaker, and Steve Austin were all in attendance. Brock will definately get better when he works on some JiJitsu.

[jbailey84]

he needs to go back to the WWE

[ZombieMan]

I watched the fight. Kurt Angle, The Undertaker, and Steve Austin were all in attendance. Brock will definately get better when he works on some JiJitsu.

I agree, when he gets JiuJitsu down, some UFC guys will be screwed!

[ChaCho]

I didnt see it, I went to bar and they didn't let me in. So i was like damn.

Guys what can you say about BAtista dating Melina in real life???? She looks like Jennifer Lopez...

I wonder who will be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame this year? IamMrDJ, do you think it's possible that the WWE will finally induct Owen Hart?

Also, I don't see them inducting Chris Benoit, although stranger things have happened!!!

[IamMrDJ]

I wonder who will be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame this year? IamMrDJ, do you think it's possible that the WWE will finally induct Owen Hart?

Also, I don't see them inducting Chris Benoit, although stranger things have happened!!!

I have heard Rumblings of Flair getting inducted this year when he has his final match. But I was just thinking this last night. By this time last year they were already listing names for the Hall of Fame. I wonder if this years class is going to be smaller and they are waiting for after No Way Out.

I would like to see Owen get inducted and possibly have Bret there to accept the award. But if they do that I think they should also induct Davey Boy or Bret's old tag partner Jim Neidhart, his daughter is in development and could present him his award.

A month or so back it was rumored that both Rock's Father and Grandfather might be inducted but t was depending on Rock's schedule at the time because they wanted him in attendance for it.

i was looking through the current HOF members and one that stuck out as not being there but is in good standing with the company is "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase. His son is also on his way up to the main roster now too so that could be another inductee.

Also, don't look for Chris Benoit to go in for at least a few years if ever. It has not even been a year since the story and truth broke about what happened.

[ZombieMan]

I don't think that Benoit will ever get inducted. He has been removed from everything that the WWE has of him, as far as I know. As for Flair, and DiBiase, I think you are right. They will probably get inducted this year, which wouldn't be a bad idea! I'd love to see Flair get it, at least. As for Owen Hart, he deserves it! I want to see that happen. :)

[Starwars411]

A couple of people that they should induct are the Honky Tonk Man and Howard Finkel.

[ZombieMan]

Not Todd Petingale? ;)

[Starwars411]

God, I looked up the name and I remember that guy from when I was a kid. Even then I found him annoying.

For anybody who doesn't know who were talking about here's a pic:

The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin
WrestleMania XV (28/03/99)


Now I do have the WrestleMania Anthology they released a couple of years ago but I will be getting this DVD for sure. It has some of my favorite mania matches ever. I am also wondering what the History of each Superstar will cover.

[ChaCho]

I think for the inductions into the Hall of Fame should be like two or three wrestlers at most. Keep it really elite.

So no more inductions like Pete Rose?

[SouthsideX300]

two or three? i was thinking like 5-6. Eh, doesnt matter much if pete rose is it.

This news broke late last night.

Breaking News: 'Friday Night SmackDown' Leaving The CW At End Of 07-08 Season

Friday Night SmackDown will cease to air on The CW at the end of the 2007-08 television season, which concludes in late August. WWE issued the following press release earlier tonight, which can also been seen on Yahoo's Business page at this link:

WWE(R) SmackDown(R) Leaves CW
Thursday February 7, 11:47 pm ET

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The following statement was issued today by World Wrestling Entertainment®:

After a successful decade of “SmackDown” on both UPN and The CW, World Wrestling Entertainment and The CW have agreed to conclude our partnership. Since The CW’s exclusive negotiation period ran out as of last Thursday, January 31, we have been contacted and have been in negotiations with other networks. “WWE SmackDown” will continue to air on The CW until the conclusion of the 2007-08 broadcast season. We are grateful to Les Moonves, Dawn Ostroff, and their entire organization for bringing “WWE SmackDown” to millions of viewers for so many years.

http://rajah.com/base/node/11072

I am not sure what network WWE will look for now to host SmackDown. The only non-cable one that might work is Fox. The big 3 networks have regular schedules already for Friday's, but Fox does not.

[HotBoy]

So no more inductions like Pete Rose?

That's too bad! I would guess for the celeb wing of the WWE HOF, the next one would be Mr.T!!!

[SouthsideX300]

Smackdown will be wihtout a home now.

[ChaCho]

i wish SmackDown would go live like RAW.

I wish the Hall of Fame would just induct wrestlers who have really done a lot for the business. I know a lot have, but if by 2020 there are over 300 Hall of Famers, it wouldn't be too elite.
Also, didn't some of you guys mention last year that Owen Hart would never be in the HoF because something to do with his wife and WWE

for Hogan they should have the WM 3 match or even his WM6(?) against the Warrior.

Undertakers should be WM23

Stone Cold: WM 14 or WM 17.

[jbailey84]

my computer is messing up, which is way i havent been on. so i might as well post my predictions for No Way Out next sunday.


John Cena vs. Randy Orton (WWE Championship Match)
Rey Mysterio vs. Edge (World Heavyweight Championship Match)
Raw Elimination Chamber HHH
SmackDown/ECW Elimination Chamber Undertaker
ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero vs. CM Punk
Ric Flair vs. Mr. Kennedy

i can see the Chavo/Punk match still lead to WM.

and if there's a diva match, i pick Mickie James winning.

If they didn't give Jericho the belt when he got back, why Cena?

[IamMrDJ]

i wish SmackDown would go live like RAW.

I wish the Hall of Fame would just induct wrestlers who have really done a lot for the business. I know a lot have, but if by 2020 there are over 300 Hall of Famers, it wouldn't be too elite.

Don't look for SD to go live anymore. Since they film ECW and SD the same night it is more cost effective. I was reading some reports that WWE is shopping the show around to the other NBC Universal Networks, such as Sci-fi and Bravo now.

[ChaCho]

Sci-fi... damn
couldnt they go with USA network like RAW

[IamMrDJ]

Sci-fi... damn
couldnt they go with USA network like RAW

Yeah but USA already runs 2 WWE Programs a week. The show could end up on MyNetwork which would be a big step down but in order to stay off cable that might be the best bet for them.

[chewie]

I wonder how many people get MyNetwork compared to cable?

[ZombieMan]

I don't get that channel...It should be on Sci-Fi if any of those.

[chewie]

There's not too many choices if WWE wants to stay in the NBC "family".

[SouthsideX300]

Wow raw sucked tonight. Anyone else just knew Vince wasnt going to fight hornswoggle and that someone would save him yet again??

How about Cena getting pounded by mark henry the entire match then he counters 1 move. Shoulder block, STFU on henry. Henry taps match over.

[IamMrDJ]

I did not expect much from Raw because it was filmed last Monday right after last weeks Raw was taped. Same Arena and same crowd. WWE is overseas this week and did not want to bring the HD Production crew with them. That is why for the 2 weeks leading up to No way Out HHH was not seen at all. His sisters husband died suddenly last Sunday so he was excused from Raw, so was Steph.

Speaking of Stephanie, she is pregnant again and the baby is due in July.

[ChaCho]

Oh sucks for Trips.
Another baby, man Steph is really "Sucking it"

What other wrestling show does USA show apart from RAW

[IamMrDJ]

Oh sucks for Trips.

WWE AM, It is a recap show usually on after midnight or sometimes at 6am Eastern if they do not have much else to show.

[IamMrDJ]

WWE just announced the matches for the upcoming Hardy Boy DVD set and all I have to say is I am disappointed. The Hardy Boys debuted almost 10 years ago and for a large portion of that time they were tag partners. They put on some of the greatest tag team matches that I can remember. Looking through the match listing only a couple tag team matches are included. What about their long standing feuds with The Dudley Boyz or Edge and Christian. I still remember the TLC Tag title Match on the first ever episode of Raw on Spike. That was by far one of the most amazing television matches I can remember in my almost 24 years of watching wrestling. But it is not included. I understand that Matt and Jeff are both singles wrestlers now but I bet for a majority of fans out their they will always be remembered as the Hardy Boys.

Here is the info released from WWE.

Promotional Material For The Matt & Jeff Hardy DVD Set Including Matches

- WWE sent out the following promotional material for the upcoming Twist of Fate: The Matt and Jeff Hardy DVD release. The set is scheduled to hit stores on April 29th:

September 27, 1998 two young wrestlers made their debut on Sunday Night Heat. From their very first match the fans knew they were something special. Risk takers, crash and burners these two performers exemplified the heart and soul of the tag-team division. Simply put, they are artists – both in and out of the ring. SummerSlam 2000, the Hardys’ competed in their first ever Ladder Match, rocketing them through the ranks of the tag team division winning the titles on four occasions and making the Tables, Ladders and Chairs match a staple in the WWE. While they may have gone their separate ways they have managed to capture the Intercontinental, Hardcore, European, Light Heavyweight, WCW Tag Team and Cruiserweight Championships respectfully. Now, relive “Team Extreme” once more as they continue to climb to new heights when you own the Hardys Twist of Fate DVD.

Disc 1 The Matt Hardy Story

Matt Hardy was born to wrestle—from his earliest days in homemade rings he and his brother created through his unbelievable matches on WWE SmackDown. The road to the top wasn’t always smooth, including some behind-the-scenes battles with other superstars that spilled into the ring. This DVD tells Matt’s complete story, and collects some amazing matches.

Matches include:
OMEGA Wrestling Tag Team Title Match
The Hardy Boyz vs. The Serial Thrillaz
No DQ; No Count Out Match: Matt Hardy vs. Kane

Steel Cage Match: Matt Hardy vs. Edge

Money in the Bank Qualifying Match
Matt Hardy vs. Joey Mercury

Matt Hardy vs. Mr. Kennedy

Disc 2 The Jeff Hardy Story

Jeff Hardy has ascended from one of the top tag teams in WWE history to a wildly popular singles star with the WWE Championship in his sight. This DVD examines his colorful career in and out of the ring, including his recent spectacular success on Raw.

Matches include:
The Hardy Boyz vs. The Dudleys

Intercontinental Title Match: Jeff Hardy vs. Triple H

Steel Cage Match for the Intercontinental Championship Jeff Hardy vs. Johnny Nitro

Money in the Bank Qualifying Match
Jeff Hardy vs. Shelton Benjamin

World Tag Team Title Match
The Hardys vs. Cade & Murdoch

Winner Gets WWE Championship Title Shot
at Royal Rumble: Jeff Hardy vs. Triple H

Steel Cage Match: Jeff Hardy vs. Umaga

[ZombieMan]

I thought that Raw was amazing last night. Michaels vs. Hardy really got me going!!! As for Burchill returning...I hate the new gimmick that he is doing with his "sister", but he's always been one helluva wrestler. I'd love to see him pushed in the future! A feud with Finlay would be excellent, those two could really work some magic in the ring.

[MrWashable]

Used to be a HUGE wrestling fan... but I've officially given it up. It was taking up to much time.

[jbailey84]

Really? Cena a "Kiss ass"? end of sarcasm.

Although John Cena is friendly with virtually everyone in the locker room and the wrestlers respect his work ethic, he is also considered a "kiss ass" by some. Cena hangs out with Vince McMahon, something not uncommon for the company's #1 babyface. One wrestler said, "Cena is definitely Vince’s boy and that’s why Triple H doesn’t even try to f--- with him". While Cena is viewed as a company man, Randy Orton is viewed as someone who will stand up to management.

[ChaCho]

I think there is nothing wrong with having a good relationship with your boss, now if he really kisses his ass then thats something else. I dont see Cena doing that. Orton probably stands up to management because of his background, having two other wrestling figures in his fam, one being a HOF.

As for the Hardy DVD, it really sucks. one of the matches being Matt hardy vs Johnny Nitro Money in the Bank qualifying match... WOW. just WOW.
Dissapointing. Might buy the Stone Cold DVD today, not sure yet

[IamMrDJ]

Might buy the Stone Cold DVD today, not sure yet

I picked it up the other night at BestBuy. I have not had a chance to watch it yet but just reading the details and what is on the discs I could not pass it up. I mean come on it is Stone Cold.

Rey Injured!!!! from wwe.com

Rey Mysterio’s quest to regain the World Championship may have suffered a severe setback in Santiago, Chile, on Wednesday night.

The injury occurred during Wednesday’s live event at Arena Santiago, where Mysterio teamed with Kane against Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins. During the tag contest, Rey suffered an apparent injury to his right arm – specifically his bicep. Clearly in pain, the Master of the 619 gutted it out and finished the match, then was quickly examined by WWE athletic trainer Jason Crivello upon leaving the ring.

Mysterio flew back to the United States late Wednesday night, and is currently in Gulf Breeze, Fla., waiting to meet with world-renowned surgeon Dr. James Andrews, who will determine the extent of the injury. Regardless of Dr. Andrews’ findings, Mysterio has his heart set on competing this Sunday night at No Way Out, where he is scheduled to face Edge for the World Championship.

Stay with WWE.com as more updates become available regarding Mysterio’s condition.

should be interesting what will happen Sunday.

maybe Kane will take his place, if the injury is major taking him out of action for months.

[ChaCho]

I wouldnt like anyone taking his place, it just messes everything up. Also, didnt you guys mention Big Show coming back? Where is he? Is he returning on Sunday

[jbailey84]

after No Way Out so maybe on RAW or SD!

be cool to see him run in on a match at nWo though

[IamMrDJ]

after No Way Out so maybe on RAW or SD!

be cool to see him run in on a match at nWo though

Well he did make his first WWE appearance during a February PPV. But I doubt his return would be as memorable as last time during the Austin and Vince Cage match.

[jbailey84]

yea that was a pretty sweet appearance. i remember watchin that St. Valentines Day Massacre(sp?) and being like "What the hell is The Giant doing in WWF?!"

[jbailey84]

THIS JUST IN ABOUT REY!!

REY MYSTERIO INJURED, COULD BE OUT FOR SIX MONTHS
- Rey Mysterio must be one unlucky man. While wrestling at the live
Smackdown! event in Santiago, Chile, the former World Heavyweight champion
suffered a bicep injury during his match with Kane against Zack Ryder & Curt
Hawkins. Upon finishing the match, Mysterio was checked by the trainer and
then flew back to the United States later that night to meet Dr James
Andrews who will evaluate his injury. It is feared that Mysterio would need
surgery that would keep him out of action for up to six months and obviously
would miss tomorrow's No Way Out and the biggest event of the year -
WrestleMania.

[IamMrDJ]

So did Rey get injured? I have not heard anything from anyone about it. :D

[jbailey84]

i read it from this newsletter i get in my email. so far they're the only ones saying that he just might have gotten injured badly.

[IamMrDJ]

Well I thought he came back a little early from his last injury. I hope that if he is injured he is not rushed back because I am not sure how many more injuries like this he can take.

[ZombieMan]

John Cena vs. Randy Orton (WWE Championship Match)
Rey Mysterio vs. Edge (World Heavyweight Championship Match)
Raw Elimination Chamber HHH
SmackDown/ECW Elimination Chamber Undertaker
ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero vs. CM Punk
Ric Flair vs. Mr. Kennedy

[jbailey84]

here's what a buddy of mine wants to see happen

NO WAY OUT:

- The Undertaker wins the Smackdown! Chamber Match. In a backstage segment, Batista is shown obviously dejected and upset at his loss. The camera zooms out to show Orton approaching him, cocky with title in hand. He says something along the lines of, "I guess now we know which one of us was truly evolved. Better luck next time." This obviously pisses Batista off, as he gives Orton a deathly look while Orton walks off.

- John Cena vs. Randy Orton is a stellar match. Cena, however, manages to squeeze out a victory. After the affair, however, Orton loses his mind and starts viciously attacking Cena, possibly re-injuring him (a point which is constantly pushed on touched upon by the announcing teams from that point up until WrestleMania.) Batista, however, comes down to chase Orton off, but not until Cena makes the save. (This sets up Batista/Orton for WrestleMania, a much-needed, longer overdue match.)

- Triple H wins a bloody RAW Chamber Match by just narrowly, NARROWLY (another point the announcing teams reiterate on a constant basis) last eliminating Jeff Hardy.

LEADING UP TO WRESTLEMANIA:

- So, now we have John Cena vs. Triple H for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania XXIV. They key here, however, is to push that Cena is not at a hundred percent due to Randy's attack after his match with him at No Way Out, and to turn Triple H heel by exploiting this potential re-injury. We do so by having Triple H and John Cena team up to take on Edge and The Undertaker in one of those WrestleMania Main-Event vs. WrestleMania Main-Event tag matches. During the match, however, Triple H turns on Cena and starts beating the living Hell out of him, putting into further question Cena's ability to defend the belt at WrestleMania. Triple H later explains that his reasoning for his attacks is because he took John Cena too lightly two years ago, and that he won't be making the same mistake.

WRESTLEMANIA:

- Randy Orton beats Batista in a good match, and he beats him CLEAN.

- Jeff Hardy edges out Umaga, Kane, Montel Vontavious Porter, Mr. Kennedy, Matt Hardy, C.M. Punk, and Rey Mysterio (if he's able to compete) to win the Money-In-The-Bank Ladder Match.

- Triple H defeats John Cena for the WWE Championship, but it is stressed that Triple H did not defeat John Cena when John Cena was at a hundred percent.

And it would go from there with Cena/Orton/Triple H vying for the title up until SummerSlam, where Triple H would lose to a challenging Jeff Hardy.

[IamMrDJ]

That sounds pretty good. I would pay to see those matches.

[Bullets]

John Cena vs. Randy Orton (WWE Championship Match)
Rey Mysterio vs. Edge (World Heavyweight Championship Match)
Raw Elimination Chamber HHH
SmackDown/ECW Elimination Chamber Undertaker
ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero vs. CM Punk
Ric Flair vs. Mr. Kennedy


This is a predicatable pay per view but the elimination chamber will be interesting to watch.
I would like to see randy win but it's a toss up.

I wonder what Batista ill do at wrestlemania.

[IamMrDJ]

I just saw this posted online as a rumored mania Card.

Source: PWInsider.com

-- Right now the rumored Wrestlemania 24 card looks like:

* Randy Orton vs. HHH vs. John Cena (WWE Title)
* Vince McMahon vs. Finlay (World Heavyweight Title)
* Edge vs. Undertaker
* Ric Flair vs. Batista
* Shawn Michaels vs. Jeff Hardy
* MVP vs. Matt Hardy
* JBL vs. Chris Jericho
* Money in the Bank

There will also likely be women's & ECW title matches.

I think there is a typo on the Finlay match and the World Title match will be Edge and Taker. I also have a hard time with the Hardy and HBK match when they just gave it to us on raw this week. They would have to step it up a notch because their match on Raw was already PPV quality.

Looking at some of the other matches I have a hard time believing them because they would take away some top performers from the MITB match. Big Show will probably have a match at Mania if he has debuted by then.

those i can see happening. i really hope that is a tyop with the World Title.

[ChaCho]

That card kind of sucks in my opinion except the World Title and WWE Title Match. It can be better.
Sucks for Rey, I really hope he can compete tomorrow.... If not? It will be a great chance for Show to appear and make a great match. Edge gets disqualified, him and his two hoes start beating on Show and he completely goes beserk on them and just does some nasty memorable stuff.



No Way Out picks:
John Cena vs. Randy Orton (WWE Championship Match) - I want Cena to win, really really bad. But I feel Orton will win and push this match up to Wrestlemania somehow and end up making it a Triple Threat. Orton wins.

Rey Mysterio vs. Edge (World Heavyweight Championship Match) - No matter if Rey or Big Show compete in this match, Edge wins. Edge will fall to the Undertaker.

Raw Elimination Chamber - Would really like to see HBK go out winning here, but I guess WWE is more intent on giving HHH his third Elimination Chamber victory. HHH wins.

SmackDown/ECW Elimination Chamber - The Undertaker. Done.

ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero vs. CM Punk - I dont care

Ric Flair vs. Mr. Kennedy - Flair, if he is to compete.

[jbailey84]

yea if that is the rumored card, it does indeed suck. if Rey cant compete, this would be the perfect time for Big Show to wrestle against Edge.

i'll repost my picks for Sundays PPV. so far I'm 2-3.

John Cena vs. Randy Orton (WWE Championship Match)

Rey Mysterio vs. Edge (World Heavyweight Championship Match)

Raw Elimination Chamber - HHH

SmackDown/ECW Elimination Chamber - The Undertaker

ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero vs. CM Punk

Ric Flair vs. Mr. Kennedy

i ordered the PPV on Direct TV and it shows that it will be a 4 hour show instead of 3.

[ZombieMan]

I hope Big Show comes back on Raw or something.

[jbailey84]

did anyone else notice that this years Wrestlemania theme song is "Snow (Hey Oh)" by Red Hot Chili Peppers? how the frick does that make sense?! need a rockin song, its Miami!!

i liked it when it used to be Limp Bizkit (My Way *WM17*, Crack Addict *WM 19*) or Drowning Pool (Tear Away *WM 18*) or Saliva (Laides & Gentlemen *WM 23*).

[ZombieMan]

^^^ I thought it was a weird choice of song too.

[Starwars411]

I'm so glad Cena didn't win. But I did laugh my ass off when Orton slapped the ref.

[IamMrDJ]

I'm so glad Cena didn't win. But I did laugh my ass off when Orton slapped the ref.

Well that just sets up Orton vs. Cena vs. Raw Chamber Winner at Mania.

Plus Big Show did return tonight after the Edge vs. Rey match.

Immediately following the match Big Show’s music hits, to a not-so loud pop in the crowd. Big Show makes his way to the ring looking to have trimmed down a bit. Big show gets on the mic and says he missed this place. Show says he will be a champion again, and it does not matter where. He says he’s not here to make guarantees or promises. He says he’s lost 108 pounds. He said he’s faster, meaner, and ready to be back in the WWE. Show hops over the rope and grabs an injured Rey Mysterio around the throat. Show starts taunting Rey to his friend Floyd Mayweather in the front row. Show throws Rey into the ring. Mayweather gets up and tries to rush the ring as Show is about to chokeslam him but everyone holds him back. Show hoists him up and Mayweather jumps the railing and charges him. Everyone charges after Mayweather to hold him back. Show puts Rey down and the two are now face to face. Show takes his jacket off. Mayweather stares cold and emotionless at the much taller show, who shoves him back into his team. They hold Mayweather back. Show drops to a knee to tell him to take a shot. Mayweather gets two shots in and darts away from the ring with his whole crew. The escape through the crowd. Show charges him as fast as possible but they get away. Shane McMahon comes through the crowd and stops Big Show. We get a close up of Shows face and it looks like one seriously landed breaking Show’s nose as he is bleeding from the nose and mouth profusely. Show is spitting blood. There was no announcing for the entire segment. Great tension builder.

[jbailey84]

I'm so glad Cena didn't win. But I did laugh my ass off when Orton slapped the ref.
i thought it was briliant on Ortons half. as soon as he hit mike, i knew exactly why.:D

now about Big Show, HOLY SHYT!! what a confrontation with him and mayweather!! looked like he broke Show's nose, his eyes were watery. if WWE does this right, this can be a great match, whatever they will have, at Wrestlemania.

Edge/Rey match was really short though :/

[SouthsideX300]

I hope big show is on raw tommorrow night. I heard he looks real skinny now.

[ChaCho]

He said he lost 180lbs.... WOW.
It wouldve been great if Shane would have let Show go after him. All that bit was really cool, they won't fight at Wrestlemania, how could they? you all saw how Show just pushed him like nothing and Mayweather didnt even move him.

Yo Jef Hardy is crazy, did you all see how he Swantoned Umaga off the chamber? A little crooked, but cool as hell

[IamMrDJ]

it was 108 pounds not 180. they are planning a mania match with the 2 but a Tag team not singles. Right now the leading partner candidate for Show is MVP or Shane. For Mayweather it is Rey Mysterio but only if he is healthy. Not sure who they would have in his place except for maybe Matt Hardy if MVP is Show's partner.

[Starwars411]

I gotta say that last night's PPV was really good. It was better than the Royal Rumble. I guess that's because they had two Elimination Chamber matches, but they were both great.

[jbailey84]

SD!'s Elimination Chamber was alright. should have just been Undertaker Vs Batista in a No DQ match.

i wish that Edge/Rey match was longer, but with Rey's injury, i can understand why it was short but it felt too short.

[SouthsideX300]

Raw was decent, best part was JBL destroying apart hornswoggle. It was great to finally see that

[ChaCho]

Is incredible he even decided to fight just to like keep the storyline alive. Right before he did the 619 I was like "Holy shyt how is he gonna hold on?"

The SD Elimination Chamber was really good, the end of it was definitely better than the RAW one. And of course Im super happy Taker won. Now Im just hoping for a Hell in a Cell or a Buried Alive Match.

I thought Show said he lost 180. The PPV was very good. Only flaws was the ECW match. I didn't even see it, the whole time I was just talking to my friend. And the Flair match. I love Ric Flair, but all his Carrer Threatening Matches at the PPVs matches have been the same, they beat him up, he attacks their legs, Figure Leg Lock, Tap. It was cool the first time, not anymore though. They should be like when he fought Umaga, intense and nerve racking.




Just watched RAW. I know Wrestlemania is very important, but they are fixing up the matches too fast. I HOPE this means they are gonna give them real lead up to the PPV.

[jbailey84]

well they have 6 weeks to lead and hype up Wrestlemania. yea i hope they dont rush it too fast.

so far its

John Cena Vs HHH Vs Randy Orton(C) for the Heavyweight Title
The Undertaker Vs Edge(C) for the World Title
Jeff Hardy & Mr. Kennedy qualified for the Money In the Bank

possibilities matches
Floyd Weatherford Vs Big Show (possible match)
HBK Vs Ric Flair*

*i think with HBK announcing Ric Flair to be in the Hall of Fame, this very well could lead up to them facing at Wrestlemania.

[chewie]

Who's Floyd Weatherford?

[Starwars411]

It's actually Floyd Mayweather.

[chewie]

Okay, him I've heard of.;)

[jbailey84]

oops, my bad ;)

[jbailey84]

read this about the price to order Wrestlemania
The price for this year’s WrestleMania will be set at $54.95 with rumors that it will be $69.95 in some areas for High Definition. Last year the show was $49.95.

and also there are 3 considerations for the site of next years Wrestlemania, courtesy of Wrestling Observer Newsletter
Hoosier Dome(Wrestlemania 8) in Indianapolis, Indiana
Alamodome(Royal Rumble '97) in San Antonio, TX
Thomas & Mack Center(No Way Out '08) in Las Vegas, NV.

i really hope its in San Antonio!! i'd fly to that. Thomas & Mack Center is too small for such a huge event.

[chewie]

They need to keep hosting Wrestlemania at huge venues.

[jbailey84]

Alamodome is a huge venue. i've been there a few times. it can seat 65,000 up to 72,000!! when they hosted the Royal Rumble in '97, they seated 60,525.

Hoosier Dome aka RCA Dome can seat up to 60,272. thats for football, so they can get more with floor seating.

Thomas & Mack Center is 19,522, thats for wrestling.

[ChaCho]

I should have gone to this year's Wrestlemania. Is in Orlando. 4 hour drive from here. But I had cashflow problems. I would have loved to have seen Taker get the Title at Mania. Guess I missed the chance.

Great that Flair is going to get inducted. HBK taking him out is just perfect

[IamMrDJ]

I was wondering if something like this might be in the works when Mayweather showed up in WWE, since he had been working with Cuban lately about an MMA Federation.

McMahons Starting New MMA Company With Mark Cuban?

The McMahons have been rumored to be interested in starting a mixed martial arts promotion. Shane McMahon in particular is said to be a big fan of the sport and the McMahon name has come up a number of times when various promotions have been up for sale (including PRIDE) or starting up.

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban has spoken before about working with the McMahons in the MMA world. Cuban owns "HDNet", a high-definition TV channel that features a lot of MMA shows. HE is trying to put together the heavyweight fight that everyone wants to see later this year - Randy Couture vs. Fedor Emelianenko.

In a recent interview with The Edmonton Sun, Cuban was asked:

Are you trying to form an MMA company to rival the UFC? Are you thinking of involving the McMahon family from the WWE?

His answer was: "Absolutely. We are looking to partner where we can, do our own promotions where it makes sense. We think the future is built around the fighters and their personalities. No one else has this focus and partnership approach. We think it's a winner."

I just read that Hogan wants to wrestle Flair at 'Mania and wants Vince as the special guest referee. That might be interesting, if it were to happen!

I find this funny cause I read it a couple days ago when a few days before that he said he and Eric Bischoff were shopping a new Wrestling League to tv studios and said he was done with WWE and Vince for good. Dude needs to make up his mind.

[ChaCho]

That match would just be stupid. Point blank. HBK vs Flair is a perfect match.

[jbailey84]

Hogan Vs Flair = Snoozfest

[jbailey84]

Hogan's a douche, money hungry. ive read in interviews that he's saying that the Wrestlemania doesn't have a real main event on the card.

[SouthsideX300]

That price is insane, ill just watch on youtube the next night.

[jbailey84]

i just read that Vince paid Floyd $20 Million to be at Wrestlemania. thats frickin insane!!

[El Hijo del World]

This could prove to be false, but Bubba The Love Sponge is laying claim that the suggested amount of $20 Million is all for show, and Mayweather isn't making nearly that much. Apparently he's got a "reliable source". Which seems like an oxy-moron to me.

It's definitely one hell of a paycheck though, for the amount of work he's going to have to do. Mike Tyson made $2 Million, and that was when the WWE was at it's peak financially.

^welcome to the site

Well its official, HBK vs Flair. Great, great match. WWE has a really good chance of making this a greeeeat match. This Wrestlemania is turning out to be pretty good. Im still hoping for the Buried Alive Match thouhj

Cena Vs HHH Vs Orton(C) Heavyweight Title
Undertaker Vs Edge(C) World Title
Money In the Bank: (so far) Mr. Kennedy, Jeff Hardy, Jericho, Shelton Benjamin
Ric Flair Vs Shawn Michaels *Career Threatening Match*
Umaga Vs Batista *Raw Vs Smackdown*
Floyd Mayweather Vs Big Show
Candice Michelle & Maria vs. Beth Phoenix & Melina *Playboy Bunny Mania*

im sure they'll add JBL Vs Finlay

[ChaCho]

Wow Batista vs Umaga would be great.
Id like too see Batista in the Money in the Bank match

[SouthsideX300]

Batista in the MITB match?? Nooo, thats not a good fit

[ChaCho]

I would like to see him just crushing peoples head with a ladder, or powerbombing someone through two tables or something. sounds cool to me

[chewie]

I'd like to see Big Daddy V in it just to see him try to climb up the ladder.

[ChaCho]

oh man that would be priceless
