Umaga vs Batista Official for WM

[chewie]

As if it isn't completely obvious who's going to win that match.

[ChaCho]

Well unless Batista does his powerbomb five times in a row, Umaga could win.

Wrestlemania 25 Location revealed

source: PWInsider.com

WrestleMania 25 is slated to take place in Houston, Texas at the Reliant Stadium -- home of the NFL's Houston Texans -- which holds a capacity of 71,500 for football games, and should hold far more for wrestling.

The event will take place on Sunday, April 5, 2009.



YES!!!!

[ChaCho]

is that close to were you live?

[jbailey84]

i live in Washington but moving to San Antonio this summer. i also have alot family in San Antonio.

[ChaCho]

Thats nice, damn you, just playing.

[jbailey84]

what i read at WWE.com, that the tickets ranged from $250-$40. i thought the floor tickets were more than that. maybe its less because its on a outside football field?

[SouthsideX300]

I was hoping it would be in vegas. Oh well.

[ChaCho]

$250 is not too bad

[jbailey84]

i checked at ticketmaster.com and the front row/floor(parts) is $745, then go down to $40.

tickets didnt go on-sale until november :( longer wait

[ChaCho]

Oh damn never mind. Thats too much

[jbailey84]

my and a few friends are going to try and get ringside. hey, it comes with a collectible chair ;)

[ChaCho]

WOW! You should go then Lol.


Well tonights SmackDown was pretty put down. One hit and Taker loses... Wow.

[jbailey84]

my dad is wanting to go to WM 25 too lol.


well Raw on monday should be a good one. a 3 hour show and its a Wrestlemania Rewind, i think every match will be a past Wrestlemania match.
should be interesting :D

[SouthsideX300]

my dad is wanting to go to WM 25 too lol.


well Raw on monday should be a good one. a 3 hour show and its a Wrestlemania Rewind, i think every match will be a past Wrestlemania match.
should be interesting :D

Man, i forgot all about it being 3 hours. Thats gonna suck. I have to move ahead my cardio time now.

[ChaCho]

Ima gonna miss the 1st hour because of work. I dont even really understand what its going on

[jbailey84]

its a "supershow" with smackdown & ecw wrestlers will be on Raw, and the matches will be them redoing past Wrestlemania matches that they've done.

[jbailey84]

looks like Jeff Hardy WONT be at Wrestlemania.

violated the drug-awarness policy.

suspended for 60 days.

thats the reason why he lost the IC Title to Jericho last night on Raw.

[ChaCho]

....... WHAT?
what did he do that for????? DAMN!!! and I was liking him so much! FACK

[SouthsideX300]

What an idiot, he F**ked up again. I thought he would of won MITB easily this year.

[jbailey84]

yea. think he'd know better.

a new match has been announced for Wrestlemania It was announced during tonight's ECW taping that a 24-man battle royale featuring wrestlers from all three brands will be taking place during WrestleMania. The winner will then challenge Chavo Guerrero for the ECW title during the very same show. There was talk of doing the battle royal and/or the ECW title match as dark matches to only be shown on the WrestleMania DVD release, but now they're combining the two for the big show.

i hope Kane wins both!!

[ChaCho]

Wow that's a great match, the Battle Royal I mean. I dont care much for the Title Match, but putting 24 people in one ring to battle is a very good way to include them in Wrestlemania plus putting on a good show. It will be good if Kane wins it, but I would like to see him in MITB match. I have the same opinion as if Batista would have been on it, a big man just crushing skulls with the ladder. Plus, Kane is much deserving of a Championship role. He puts on matches on both SmackDown and ECW against new wrestlers trying to show them the ropes, plus he's not afraid to battle on a Tag match and put on a good show. Wouldnt it be great if he won MITB and once more feuds with Taker?

On Jeff Hardy, I'm just so dissapointed, I thought he left those prroblems in the past.

[chewie]

24 Man? The should bring in some people like they did for the Battle Royal at the 10th Anniversary show to make it the nice and even number of 30. The WWE should handle the Battle Royale and championship match like WCW did with Slamboree in 1998 when the championship match happened right after the Battle Royal ended. All we need now is for Dean Malenko to dress up like Ciclope.

[jbailey84]

im hoping that's how they'll have it. a friend of mine said Chavo can come down and do commentary for the Battle Royal then once the winner is declared, just jump in the ring and wrestle.

[jbailey84]

lil more info about Jeff Hardy

Vince McMahon is not as shaken up over Jeff Hardy’s suspension as one might imagine. One source tells, "This is exactly what Vince has been waiting for". The source explained that McMahon can now trumpet the fact that he suspended one of his biggest stars just weeks before his biggest event if Congress or anyone else questions the validity of WWE’s drug testing program.

A second well-placed source believes Hardy cost himself a WWE Title run this spring and will now be branded a mid-card performer for life. The source also notes that Vince isn’t even willing to discuss future creative plans for Hardy at this time.

[chewie]

Speaking of Ciclope...Here is one of the best hardcore matches I've seen! With one hellacious chair shot taken by Ciclope.

That was worth watching just to see La Parka dance again.

[ChaCho]

Man sucks for Hardy

[SouthsideX300]

During an appearance on MTV's Total Request Live, Kim Kardashian stated she would be appearing at WrestleMania 24 during the BunnyMania Lumberjack Match along with Snoop Dogg.

http://www.wrestlezone.com/article.php?articleid=207451824

[ZombieMan]

I want to see the following in the WWE/ECW or the following comebacks.

Norman Smiley
Kurrgan
La Parka
Ciclope
Silver King
Perry Saturn
Lash Leroux
Disco Inferno (Glenn Gilberti)
Raven
Scott Norton
Yuji Nagata

(I miss the old gimmicky days of WCW for some screwed up reason.) Also, Kurrgan was a way better wrestler and way more intimidating than Khali. I say bring him back and ditch the big idiot from sand dunes!

[jbailey84]

just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for Jeff :(

On his website, Jim Ross confirms today's report of Jeff Hardy's North Carolina home burning to the ground. He also gives an update on the situation, which you can read below:

The Jeff Hardy Saga Continues...

The fall out of the 60 day suspension of Jeff Hardy for a second violation of the WWE Wellness Policy is still making news. Sadly, Friday night, Jeff’s home in North Carolina burned to the ground and he lost essentially every thing he had and most sadly his dog. Losing an animal one is close to is just like losing a family member to many people and we just experienced that with the death of our 18 year old cat Molly who had to be put down after suffering a serious of strokes.

Apparently Matt Hardy saw smoke coming from Jeff’s home on Friday night, discovered that no one was home, but arrived at the house too late to do any thing but watch it burn to the ground.

These are challenging times for Jeff to say the least. Not only has he incurred his second strike with only one remaining before he would be terminated from the WWE, his situation has been underscored by the fact that his suspension went public per the WWE policy, which went into effect on November 1 and with which I wholeheartedly agree. Now Jeff’s home has been destroyed with the heart breaking reality that his beloved dog died in the fire as well.

Jeff’s career can be rebuilt if he so chooses to committing to do such. This commitment cannot be a short term commitment, but a life time commitment that must see him take it one day at a time and have the expressed goal of being successful in 24 hours intervals. I am one that truly believes that Jeff can make this happen, especially if those close to him offer Jeff the kind of support that he needs and that he seeks the wisdom and advise of a counselor who can help Jeff understand why these life and career threatening mistakes are being made.

Jeff’s home can be rebuilt materially, as well, but his many personal affects now nothing more than a memory. I hope this tragedy doesn’t push Jeff to the edge of the proverbial cliff to where his wrestling career becomes nothing more than a memory as well.

I grieve for the loss of the animal. I can only imagine what Jeff Hardy must be going through at this time. without question Jeff is being sternly tested. I hope he passes this test and the one’s to come admirably.

Jeff hardy will be 31 years old on August 31, 2008 and without question his wrestling career can be re-ignited if Jeff can prove to those that make the all important decisions that Jeff can be trusted and has become a responsible professional who understands how important it is to do the right things.

The trust factor is one that cannot be underscored enough. Over my 30+ years in the wrestling business I often wondered why so many of the men in charge were also their territories top stars. Owners/Promoters/Bookers like Eddie Graham, Verne Gagne, Fritz Von Erich, Bob Geigel, Bill Watts, Jerry Jarret and Jerry Lawler, The Funks, and so many more were their area’s top stars more often than not and did so because they knew they could trust and depend on their top stars, them. Being responsible and trust worthy are great traits to have in any field of endeavor, but it seems to be especially viable in the wrestling business based on my personal experiences.

Jeff Hardy can rebuild his home, hopefully he can somehow replace his beloved dog, I know that won’t be easy, but can he rebuild the trust with the WWE that allows Jeff to be provided with more opportunities to be the star that we all know that he can be? No one has this answer today. Only time will tell but I will say that my opinion is that it can be done but it certainly won’t be easy.

J.R.

[ChaCho]

Aaaa man...... DAMN!
I know he can come through this. He can get his act together, I know he can. Sucks about the dog, I can understand that it will hurt him.

[SouthsideX300]

He probably did it onpurpose.

[jbailey84]

i read he and his girlfriend went out and when they came back, nothing but flames and ash.

that just plain out sucks. first your job on suspension, then your house. AND the dog!

[jbailey84]

The 2008 WWE Draft is expected to take place on the April 21st, special 3-hour edition of RAW.

[ChaCho]

He got money though, no problem for him to buy a new house.

In this draft I would like to see Taker go to RAW with the World Title, that would be cool.

[jbailey84]

i read his house was a double-wide trailer, no joke, not being a smart-ass.
but yea he can buy a new house for sure.

Taker to RAW would be great :D

[SouthsideX300]

Good raw tonight, 17 vs orton and cena was pretty decent.

Kim Kardashian sighting was awesome. I jerked it like twice in the 10 seconds she came out.

Flair vs Mcmahon was damn good.

Best of the night was Santino knocking over lawler then stealing his sandwhich then giving victoria a bite of it. lol that was awesome.

[jbailey84]

CM Punk Vs Carlito was a good match.

[ChaCho]

that main event was super original and cool. them two could give DX a run for their money.


Flair vs Vince was awsome, seeing someone beat Vince up its always enjoyable.

That subway bit was just funny and unique

[ZombieMan]

I was just watching Norman Smiley vs. Prince Iaukea (old WCW Nitro) on YouTube, and I miss watching those two. I seriously think that the WWE should bring them in. I don't think either one of them ever got a shot.

[jbailey84]

Orton & Cena could actually make a pretty great tag-team. as much as i dislike Cena, wouldnt mind seeing him with Orton.

yea that Subway bit was funny :D

[jbailey84]

for those who care about Bobby Lashley

Source: betweentheropes.com, sescoops.com

In an audio interview with the Between the Ropes radio show, Kurt Angle had a lot to say about Bobby Lashley's future, major changes coming to TNA starting next month and fighting Randy Couture in an MMA style match this summer.

Here are the highlights:

-- When asked about the possibility of Bobby Lashley coming to TNA, Kurt said, “I’m not going to say anything, but be ready for anything. Be ready for a big surprise... Whatever he does, it’s going to make big press. Let’s just that I’m really excited about the direction that Bobby Lashley is going.”

[ChaCho]

What does that mean, that he'll go to TNA or UFC?

[jbailey84]

no idea.

[ZombieMan]

I'm guessing he might try both. ;)

[ChaCho]

That'll be complicated. Would like to see him go against Chuck or Lesnar

[HotBoy]

Who is he?Here's what I found on wikipedia.com:

"Edward Gossett (better known as Eddie Graham) (January 15, 1930 – January 21, 1985) was a professional wrestler. He was also the promoter and booker for Championship Wrestling from Florida."

"Edward F. Gossett started wrestling in 1947[1] in Texas at the age of 17 after being trained by Cowboy Luttrell. He was sometimes billed as the brother of "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers under the name of Rip Rogers. He lost a loser-leaves-town match to Pepper Gomez in May 1958.

In June 1958, he changed his ring name to Eddie Graham and was billed as the brother of Dr. Jerry Graham and "Crazy" Luke Graham. Jerry and Eddie were a very successful heel tag team on the east coast of the United States.[1] They had popular feuds with teams such as the Fabulous Kangaroos, the Bastien Brothers, and Antonino Rocca and Miguel Pérez.[1] They held the NWA United States Tag Team Championship (Northeast version) together in Capitol Wrestling (the forerunner of World Wrestling Entertainment) four times, winning the belts three times in victories over Miguel Perez and Don Curtis, and once against Red and Lou Bastien.[2]

In the spring of 1960, Eddie left the team and went to the National Wrestling Alliance's territory in Florida to wrestle. While there, in 1966, he had a famous feud with Professor Boris Malenko.[3]

In 1968, Eddie was lacing his boots in the locker room and a 75 pound steel window fell on his head, detaching both of his retinas and causing him an injury that required three hundred stitches.[3] The Florida State Legislature awarded him $23,000 for the incident. According to Jim Wilson) in his book Chokehold, Graham's eyesight was poor because of blade jobs, and because he needed surgery to correct the problem and could not afford the money, he had some wrestlers tamper with the window in order to pass it off as though it was the responsibility of the building. This allegation is disputed by eyewitnesses. Due to the injury, Graham was unable to wrestle for fifteen months.[3]

Eddie took over booking and promoting for Championship Wrestling from Florida in 1971. He wrestled with his son, Mike Graham, until 1977, when he retired from the ring due to health problems. He was the President of the NWA from 1976 to 1978, thanks in part to Gordon Solie and Dusty Rhodes. Graham was absent as NWA President in 1977 and 1978 due to serious health problems he suffered from, and was forced to step down as a result.[4] Eddie remained as the promoter in Florida until January 21, 1985, when he allegedly committed suicide by a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a lifelong battle with alcoholism.[3]

He was announced to be entering the WWE Hall of Fame on 18th March 2008. He will be inducted by Dusty Rhodes".

WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match
Edge (c) vs. The Undertaker* - I make a promise, if Taker loses, I will NEVER watch wrestling again. If he is to lose his streak I want him to lose it to someone worth it.


Who do you think would be worth it? I kind of agree though, I do not want Edge to be the one to stop the streak. By the way, I have decided to go ahead and order Wrestlemania. Although its hella expensive, haha!!!

[Starwars411]

big show will totally beat floyd

I'm pretty sure Floyd is going to win considering the match is a No Holds Barred match and you can either win by pin, submission, or knockout. Someone will come out and help Floyd win.

But if Big Show wins, I'll be happy.

[SouthsideX300]

I read on a wrestling dirt sheet that the big show/mayweather match may end up being a disaster.

[FilmJerk]

it was already a disaster when Floyd signed up for this ****

[ChaCho]

Who do you think would be worth it? I kind of agree though, I do not want Edge to be the one to stop the streak. By the way, I have decided to go ahead and order Wrestlemania. Although its hella expensive, haha!!!


I dont know, someone like HBK maybe. Not some stupid idiot like Edge. Which Im glad to say he didnt....

16-0!! New World Champion, Damn it that was a good long match!! If HBK is Mr. Wrestlemania, then Taker is KING Wrestlemania.

Easily the best match of the night was HBK vs Ric Flair, hands down. One great, great match. One of the best Ive ever seen, and Im glad I did. Ric, Thank you for everything.

Overall, a very good Wrestlemania, some matches dissapointed like Show vs Floyd, but there were shockers, like the Money In the Bank match, the Triple Threat and Snoop and Maria. Plus it was very funny, that ramp was like a mile long, that 2nd ref that came down for Taker vs Edge was running funny ass hell!

Overall rating for Wrestlemania: 9/10

[chewie]

What a great ending to Raw last night seeing some of those guys. There was no advancement of story lines or conflict. The WWE did a good job with Flair's farewell.

[DangerMouse]

Well, what happened?

[chewie]

Flair came out and said some words. HHH then came out and thanked him and introduced numerous individuals who also wanted to thank him. Some of these people included the 4 horsemen, Ricky the dragon Steamboat, Greg the hammer Valentine, Harley Race, Chris Jericho, John Cena, Ric Flair's family, and HBK. I might be missing a few. Then HHH invited anyone else in the back that wanted to thank him and pretty much everybody who worked for the company came out as it seemed and the whole ramp from the ring to the entrance way had wrestlers from all brands, referees, backstage workers, etc come out. Flair was pretty emotional the whole time this was happening.

[n00bster]

Isn't ric flair around 100 years old by now?

[FilmJerk]

he's still alive?

[n00bster]

They must have embalmed his corpse and propped him up for one last grand finale.

[teewee1432]

does anyone no the song they played last night during his farewell?? it went like you'll never change in the lyrics.

[jbailey84]

did anyone notice that the Undertaker wasnt there? 0_o

[chewie]

I read a report that he came out after they went off the air.

[SouthsideX300]

I read the same thing.

[SouthsideX300]

Kevin Nash just did an interview on the Karlson & McKenzie radio show on 100.7 WZLX-FM in Boston. Here are some of the highlights:

-Talked about being at Wrestlemania 24 Sunday in a luxury box. Triple-H and Shawn Michaels invited him.

-Talked about Ric Flair beign an emotional wreck right now following his retirement. He joked that he thought for years the only way Flair would ever be done was if someone drove a stake through his heart.

-Talked about Hulk Hogan's new girlfriend saying he didn't think she was all that attractive. He jokingly asked "Chyna wasn't available?"

-A guy called up and asked him about Sean Waltman. Nash said he was in Mexico wrestling and said that he himself would never wrestle in Mexico.

-One of the hosts asked him about his basketball career. Nash said he got thrown off his college team for hitting the coach.

-Nash said his 11 year old son is 6 foot-1, but said he doesn't want him to get into wrestling.

-He was asked by a caller who is the one guy he wanted to fight that he never had the chance to. He said Andre the Giant.

[chewie]

Good stuff Southside.

[SouthsideX300]

Good stuff Southside.

Thanks.

[ZombieMan]

^^^ Yeah, thanks for sharing, for sure!!!

Also, did anyone else dig seeing Val Venis on Raw last night? I miss seeing him, he always entertained me. I think he's an excellent wrestler.

[ChaCho]

He was, but he'd done. Theyll never use him again for any kind of role in my opinion.

[ZombieMan]

^^^ I know they won't, but it would be nice.

[SouthsideX300]

There is talk in having Trevor Murdoch and Lance Cade break up, with Cade turning on Murdoch. That is why Murdoch has lost weight, got a tan and bought some new entrance gear. This isn't set in stone but management told Murdoch to get ready

[ChaCho]

that would be cool, Murdoch is being held back by Cade, Cade's a pussy

[ZombieMan]

There is talk in having Trevor Murdoch and Lance Cade break up, with Cade turning on Murdoch. That is why Murdoch has lost weight, got a tan and bought some new entrance gear. This isn't set in stone but management told Murdoch to get ready

I can tell you that this "rumor" is true. Thats all that I will say, or well, its looking promising. ;) There is also talk about having Trevor do some singing (which he isn't bad at, so if they do that gimmick and he sucks at singing, its intentional). Not kidding, lets hope that they drop that ****ty idea. Seriously...Also, Trevor went back to his blond hair color, I have noticed. He used that through his entire indy career. As for Cade, I like him. But, Trevor is heavily favored by WWE's top agents, behind the scenes.

[DangerMouse]

And just to make sure, Trevor is Dusty's son correct?

I wonder if there's been any talk about the two brothers getting together at all.

[ChaCho]

Trevor is Dusty Rhodes' son?

[Starwars411]

No. Cody Rhodes is his son.

[HotBoy]

Question: How did the WWE manage to get Cryme Tyme back?

[chewie]

No. Cody Rhodes is his son.

You do realize his real name is Trevor Rhodes and not Trevor Murdoch.

[ZombieMan]

^^^ I guess they don't keep up with the indy scenes. ;)

[ZombieMan]

Since we are talking about this Cade/Murdoch thing. I think they are going about the story line the wrong way so far. Its boring...COME ON!!! Throw in some spice...

[chewie]

Have we seen that story line before?

I'm glad they are bringing back the King of the Ring. Monday should be a good show.

[jbailey84]

i thought that they were going to originally have the draft on monday?

[chewie]

I thought that was usually done in June and that it usually take place every other year.

[ChaCho]

They had it two years in a row like two years ago. I dont understand the King of the Ring thing, are they doing the whole tournament on Monday?. You know a good match? Murdoch vs Festus

[SouthsideX300]

yeah the whole tournament on monday. its a 3 hour raw.

[ChaCho]

Thats... dumb. I looked and saw the Superstars involved in the tournament, pretty depressing.

[ZombieMan]

^^^ I agree with you ChaCho...

[SouthsideX300]

Yeah, HHH? He already won it in 97. Why the hell is he in it. Does the winner even get anything besides being called "King" ?

[chewie]

here's the history of the draft lottery

2002 (Brand Extension: RAW and SmackDown!)
2004 (Draft Lottery: RAW and SmackDown!)
2005 (Draft Lottery: RAW and SmackDown!)
2006 (Brand Extension: ECW)
2007 (Draft Lottery: RAW, SmackDown!, and ECW

All the King of the Ring will do is promote the Fatal 4-way. I wouldn't be surprised if the semifinals were those 4 guys or maybe a champion vs champion final. Do you guys think they will post the brackets before the show tomorrow?

[SouthsideX300]

of course they will. 3 hour raws are overkill though. Get ready for those cryme time and val venis matches.

[chewie]

The King of the Ring tournament alone will have 7 matches (if they have 8 competitors) and that will take up a decent amount of time. How many matches are in a normal Raw? 5 at the most and that's including the mid to lower card guys. I think it will be a good show tonight.
Also Clinton, McCain, and Obama will all have taped messages played.

[ChaCho]

Ohh I thought they were gonna be on the show?

[chewie]

WWE.com has an article up at this link noting that presidental candidates Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain will be appearing on tonight's three-hour edition of Monday Night Raw addressing the WWE audience in specially taped messages.

[ZombieMan]

^^^ What a waste...

[SouthsideX300]

Raw sucked. 3 hours of crap. Seriously King Regal??? Horrible.

[RedVader 2004]

Does anyone know what Stone Cold is doing he hasn't been on Raw for a long time or even at wrestlemania.

[jbailey84]

i heard that he was supposed to star in a movie.

other than that, no idea.

[chewie]

Raw was disappointing. The King of the Ring could have been a whole lot better. The best match of the night was the CM Punk and Jericho match.

[jbailey84]

yea that was a great match. the whole KOTR was pointless.

[chewie]

The King of the Ring has been pointless most of the time in the past. It has produced some good storylines though. Maybe this years tournament will produce another good storyline. I'm not counting on it though.

[RedVader 2004]

i wish Regal would have had to wrestle someone Like HOgan , Stone Cold or Ric Flair maybe his job would have been at steak that would have been cooler whoever won would be GM.

[ZombieMan]

I liked Regal winning it!

[ChaCho]

i didnt see it, glad i didnt, sounds like it was a waste of time.

Backlash this sunday, here are my picks:

World Heavyweight Champion Undertaker vs. Edge - The Undertaker wins.

Big Show vs. The Great Khali - This could be an interesting match if played well. Big Show wins.

United States Champion MVP vs. Matt Hardy - Its Matt's time.

WWE Championship Fatal Four Way Elimination Match - Same predicament as Wrestlemania only JBL is now in it. Orton wins.

ECW Champion Kane vs. Chavo Guerrero - Another 8 second match in favor of Kane.

Batista vs. Shawn Michaels - Just like at Wrestlemania HBK has the chance of stealing the show. HBK wins.

[jbailey84]

my picks

World Heavyweight Championship Match
Undertaker (c) vs. Edge*

WWE Championship Fatal Four Way Match
John Cena vs. JBL vs. Randy Orton* vs. Triple H

Big Show* vs. The Great Khali

ECW Championship Match
*Kane (c) vs. Chavo Guerrero

Batista vs. *Shawn Michaels

MVP vs. *Matt Hardy

12-Diva Tag Team Match
*Mickie James, Maria, Ashley Massaro, Michelle McCool, Cherry, and Kelly Kelly vs. WWE Women's champion Beth Phoenix, Melina, Jillian, Layla El, Victoria, and Natalya Neidhart



i just have this gut feeling that Edge will win.

[chewie]

World Heavyweight Championship Match
Undertaker* (c) vs. Edge

WWE Championship Fatal Four Way Match
John Cena vs. JBL vs. Randy Orton* vs. Triple H

Big Show* vs. The Great Khali

ECW Championship Match
*Kane (c) vs. Chavo Guerrero

MVP* vs. Matt Hardy

12-Diva Tag Team Match
Mickie James, Maria, Ashley Massaro, Michelle McCool, Cherry, and Kelly Kelly vs. *Beth Phoenix, Melina, Jillian, Layla El, Victoria, and Natalya Neidhart

[ZombieMan]

I agree with all of jbailey's picks. I think that Edge might beat The Undertaker as well.

[ChaCho]

Well guys he didn't. He ended up like a frie with ketchup. Blond and with blood. Taker is still the World Champion!

Overall a pretty nice PPV, the matches that were meant to be "ehh", were "ehh" (Big Show & Khali and the Diva match, even though they looked good as hell) But very nice win for Hardy and of course HHH

[jbailey84]

i read the results and sounds like it was a solid pay per view.

went 4-3 on my picks, overall 15-12. not too shabby ;)

[chewie]

Pretty crazy ending to RAW tonight. reminded me of the old Nitro days when they would just end the broadcast with the match still going on. and how about ole Murdoch singing some Garth Brooks!

[jbailey84]

from wwe.com

Who should first face Triple H for the WWE Championship?
JBL 6.13 %
Randy Orton 8.15 %
John Cena 19.04 %
Super Crazy 55.64 %
Hornswoggle 11.02 %

Total Votes: 468556

lol Super Crazy?

[SouthsideX300]

HHH new champ.


I hate regal. I wish he would of stayed gone. Dude is just annoying.

[ChaCho]

I tuned in on the last match, HHH vs Orton, and Regal just cut the show off, why? and can he do that?

[RedVader 2004]

I'd like to know who won or was it a draw. Someone should check wwe . come

[jbailey84]

i read that reagal said since the fans at home cant see the ending, you fans here wont see it either and had the match end in a no contest.

and at judgment day, the main event will be Orton Vs HHH for title in a Steel Cage.

[SouthsideX300]

Atleast cena's not in the main event.

[jbailey84]

lets hope he wont.

[ChaCho]

thats mean. still a cage match for the wwe championship is pretty nice. wonder what role cena is going to play now? or will they squeeze him in the match?

[chewie]

According to a report by PWInsider, Jonathan Coachman has been hired by ESPN as an anchor and will be finishing up shortly with WWE. There is no word at this time when he will make his TV debut.

Coachman had indicated to many that he was already interested in leaving WWE for some time and had been doing additional work for both the MSG Network and CBS college sports broadcasts.

One of the reasons WWE put Mick Foley into his new role as Smackdown color commentator replacing Jonathan Coachman was because they wanted someone who would be able to put the company first on their list of responsibilities. Coachman has been with WWE since December of 1999, working as an announcer and on-air heel. He had previously worked as a sports writer and anchor before joining WWE.

[ZombieMan]

^^^ I think "The Coach" will do well with ESPN. Nice choice!

[insaneMoViEgoer]

:funny: Mike Adamle :funny:

[ZombieMan]

^^^ WWE is just making a joke out of him now.

[ChaCho]

I did wonder why the took coach out of nowhere

[SouthsideX300]

Nah coach followed college football, i remember hearing him on sports radio talking about college football a couple of months ago while he was still in wwe.

[ChaCho]

so did he leave on bad terms??

[jbailey84]

no, he left on good terms i believe.

[ZombieMan]

^^^ I hear that he left on good terms. :) Good deal!

[ZombieMan]

I thought that Raw sucked...

[chewie]

Not their best event going inot a PPV that's for sure.

[jbailey84]

i watched the beginning, then saw that Pans Labyrinth was on so i watched that then the ending of Raw.

[ChaCho]

I only liked the fact that Hardy is back. Hopefully he wont mess up again.

[chewie]

WWE Championship - Steel Cage Match
- Triple H (c) vs. Randy Orton.

[ChaCho]

I just got back from my friends house after seeing Judgement Day, frankly I stopped watching after Taker's match. I HATE Vickie Guerrero, i despise her, every time she talks i want to shove nails in my ears. Its just so messed up that Taker gets screwed over and over again. And he doesnt do anything. Apart from the HBK vs Y2J match the PPV was very disapointing.

[ZombieMan]

As for Vickie Guerrero, I heard (and this may not be the total truth) that after Eddie passed away. Her and the kids were going to lose their house and some other stuff, and ran into a financial bind. So, the WWE hired her to work for them. I wish that they would not have put her on television. She definitely does not belong there, thats ****ed up in my opinion. They could have put her behind the scenes doing something, I'm sure.

[ChaCho]

How could they have been in financial debt? Eddie made money, hopefully he had life insurance. I just think that she needs to buried alive by the Undertaker and never appear on the screen again.

[ZombieMan]

How could they have been in financial debt? Eddie made money, hopefully he had life insurance. I just think that she needs to buried alive by the Undertaker and never appear on the screen again.

I have no idea, that was just rumors floating. I wondered the same thing.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

Santino + Mic = GOLD :funny:

[chewie]

I wonder who the new GM will be. Maybe Ted Dibiase or Teddy Long.

[ZombieMan]

I am leaning more towards DiBiase. His sons are both coming to the WWE soon. Just an idea... ;)

[ChaCho]

Id like Teddy Long to run RAW, Ive always enjoyed him on SmackDown. Hes fair.
DiBiase is there to twist the plot, 'member a long time ago when they were looking for a GM and Dusty Rhodes appeared as though he was gonna be it?

Santino is awsome, mic duel with The Rock would be hilarious

[chewie]

Santino is awsome, mic duel with The Rock would be hilarious

That would be awesome, but it's not going to happen.

[jbailey84]

Woo Hoo!! Wwe Draft In San Antonio Which Is In 4 Weeks!! Yea!!

[chewie]

You going?

[jbailey84]

im hoping to get my tax rebate check in the mail this friday, so yea I plan on going :D

[ChaCho]

niice, how about those news from Vince? a million dollars every week, boy would I like those.

[jbailey84]

whats very interesting about the 2008 Draft, its happening on Monday the 23rd, that sunday is the Night of Champions PPV in Dallas which is the 29th. i wonder if that will have any effect?

[ChaCho]

I dont think the whole draft will be done in one night, lately they do it over some weeks.

[jbailey84]

The first draft was done in June 2002, followed by one in March 2004, one in May 2005, May 2006 and June 2007.

The 2005 draft was different and it ran for a whole month while in 2007 the draft moved away from the traditional picks and it was sorted depending on who won the inter-promotional matches where the winner's brand received a pick.

so we'll see how it goes.

[ChaCho]

Id like the whole thing in one night. Taker going to RAW with the World Title

[chewie]

HHH isn't leaving RAW and unless he drops the title to Orton The Undertaker will stay put. It would be cool to see him on RAW though.

[ChaCho]

Just anything to get him away from that annoying midget at Smackdown. (Vickie)

[ChaCho]

HEllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taker lost, I cant fu**ing believe it!!! Im going to watch SmackDown on friday and this firing thing better be a hoax. If this is for real and Taker doesn't return, I will never watch wrestling again.

[chewie]

I don't think The Undertaker's career will end at a PPV called One Night Stand.

[jbailey84]

HEllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taker lost, I cant fu**ing believe it!!! Im going to watch SmackDown on friday and this firing thing better be a hoax. If this is for real and Taker doesn't return, I will never watch wrestling again.

he's taking time off. so he'll return probably at the Survivor Series, depending on how long he wants time off.

[ChaCho]

Why does he want time off for? I dont think I know a wrestler that takes more time off than him. He always leaves when somebody "kills" him. True, he has been busy since Royal Rumble, but man, he better not leave.

[chewie]

I bet his body gets worn down because of his age.

[ChaCho]

how old is he?

[Carnage Escobar]

43, and he's been wrestling for 24 of those years. So figure that out.

[SouthsideX300]

He's old. Vince is obviously trying to increase ratings with the stupid million dollar giveaway.

[chewie]

He's old. Vince is obviously trying to increase ratings with the stupid million dollar giveaway.

That was what his speech was about last night; attracting more fans.

[Inval1d]

i wouldnt mind winning $100,000

[jbailey84]

Why does he want time off for? I dont think I know a wrestler that takes more time off than him. He always leaves when somebody "kills" him. True, he has been busy since Royal Rumble, but man, he better not leave. i know he probably wants to spend some time with his family during the summer with them. plus The Undertaker has always been loyal to Vince and the WWE, so he pretty much gets what he wants. not in a HHH way, but ya know. and of course, his age.

and heres some info on the "million" dollar give away

ePrize will be handling this promotion and according to the
rules, registration takes place up until June 9th at 10:45PM and every week
a code will be given at the start of RAW and on WWE.COM. As far as money
goes, one grand prize of$250,000 will be awarded, two fanswill get
$200,000, one will get $125,000, one will get $98,000, one will get $75,000,
onewill get $51,998 and some unlucky dudewill get a whopping $2 - yes, two
dollars - that round up the million dollar giveaway. All prizes will be
given in the form of a check. Go to WWE.COM to get started.

[ChaCho]

Damn I understand Taker will leave one day, and when he does, I want it to be memorable like Ric Flair's exit. A great match against a great opponent. I dont want him leaving like The Rock, Bret Hart or Kurt Angle.



And about the money, DAMN, I would love any prize except the 2 dollar one. I want MONEY

[Carnage Escobar]

If Undertaker were to have one last match, I wonder who would be worthy enough to face him. And maybe even to a further extent, crush his undefeated streak at Mania.

[jbailey84]

Damn I understand Taker will leave one day, and when he does, I want it to be memorable like Ric Flair's exit. A great match against a great opponent. I dont want him leaving like The Rock, Bret Hart or Kurt Angle.

Bret had to leave because of Goldbergs clumsy ass.

Kurt Angle is still wrestling but I know his body mainly his neck, is on a thread.

and The Rock....Wrestlemania 25 anyone? it IS the 25th Anniversary.

Stone Cold, I think must of us saw it coming.

The Undertaker will no doubt have a very memorable and emotional exit like Ric Flair, if not, better.

[ChaCho]

If Undertaker were to have one last match, I wonder who would be worthy enough to face him. And maybe even to a further extent, crush his undefeated streak at Mania.


I think if WWE can do one thing for Taker is leave his streak intact. That should be respected and given.

[ZombieMan]

^^^ I agree, he should always be undefeated and be known for that. If I had to pick an opponent for The Undertaker, it would be Foley vs. Taker ONE LAST TIME!!! Preferably Mankind, of course. But, I am sure that it won't happen. I figure they would stick HBK to it, or Kane.

[DangerMouse]

They'd have to make sure his last match wasn't at Wrestlemania though.

Everyone knows you always lose your last match.

[jbailey84]

needs to be at Survivor Series. thats where The Undertaker was "born", thats where he should retire.

[chewie]

Or at One Night Stand. :)

[ChaCho]

ass hole lol

I would like it to be Kane, the old masked Kane though. In a Hell in a Cell. It would be great. HBK would be good too.

[ZombieMan]

I would LOVE for it to be a Hell In The Cell match.

[RedVader 2004]

How many thinks that the board being Vince wife will make Ric Flair a general Manager like on Raw or fire Vicki and put him on Smackdown. Long is the ECW GM.

[chewie]

They do need a new GM on Raw. Maybe Teddy Long will get drafted over to Raw.

I was pleasantly pleased with Raw last night. Good solid matches, especially Hardy and Carlito and who would have ever guessed Lance Cade coming out at the end. Vince's segments this week were a hell of a lot better than last week.

[RedVader 2004]

Is Flair really retired or is it Mick Foley retired. It be cool if Mick was drafted to Raw and we get a 3 person commentators like the good old days. Vince is like an Ass if you ask me. 16 $ and 2 $ what a joke. He should do 500 thousand next weekend to someone at the end.

[chewie]

I think Flair is realy retired

[Starwars411]

The $2 woman got a free trip to New York, so the $16 person probably will get a free trip, too.

[chewie]

If they even do that again.

[jbailey84]

im sure they will, plus with it being the Draft.

i gots my tickets and cant wait!! Section 104 Row 24.

[RedVader 2004]

Yeah but he could be a GM. Or commentate.

[jbailey84]

undertakers return

Undertaker will return to television by crashing the wedding between Edge & Vickie Guerrero scheduled for a SmackDown taping in mid-July. He will then be plugged right back into his program with Edge and feud with him for at least the rest of the summer. If they don't have a match at The Great American Bash, then definitely at SummerSlam, although it looks like the wedding is happening before GAB, so they could hotshot it for that show too. There was a feeling that his feud with Edge needed to be put on the shelf for a little while, although he did have some nagging injuries to tend to. The feeling was that it was going to run out of steam without a major twist, hence the retirement storyline.

[chewie]

So anybody have any thoughts on the upcoming draft? I'm predicting that Umaga us going to Smackdown along with Trevor Murdoch and Batista coming to Raw. I could see Shawn Michaels going to Smackdown if he wasn't starting a feud with Jericho. Oh and please send Snitsky to ECW.

[ZombieMan]

^^^ I could see Batista coming to Raw, and Trevor going to Smackdown. I also think that Umaga will go to Smackdown, good picks man! Snitsky should be on ECW for sure. I agree there...I really don't know who else to expect to jump ship. I think that Kofi Kingston will jump over to Raw or Smackdown.

[chewie]

Maybe Cena will go over to Smackdown.

[RedVader 2004]

I think a cena v/s batista rivalry would be interesting on raw. Send Jericho an Micheals and give us Batista and Mat Hardy and maybe have Matt and Jeff have a match but a Jeff jealous story line.

[RedVader 2004]

I think CM punk will be on Raw or Smackdown but truth is ECW and Smackdown have frequently the same wrestlers.

[chewie]

In the near future ECW will be taped on Monday instead of Tuesday live.

[jbailey84]

i read that Batista wants to stay on Smackdown. says thats been his home for the past 2 years and he loves it.

today I am going to a meet and greet session, Maria & Mistaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa a............Kennedyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy y.........................................Kennedyy yyyyyyy..............

so I'll ask him if he has anything thoughts about being drafted.

[chewie]

Get some pics if you can.

[ZombieMan]

I would like Cena to move over to Smackdown, actually. Because, I can't stand him, hahaha!!! Though, he is one of Raw's biggest draws, and I doubt they do it. I wouldn't mind Batista coming to Raw, but like jbailey said, I read that he isn't interested in switching brands. HBK to me, should stay on Raw forever and always. Jericho would be alright to send over to Smackdown, I think. Though, I like him A LOT on Raw. I personally think that the Hardy Boyz should get back together, and help bring back tag team wrestling. I would LOVE to see them vs. London and Kendrick. As for CM, I think that they will send him to Raw, but I wish they would keep him on ECW. He is their biggest draw, and probably always will be.

[jbailey84]

Get some pics if you can.
well i use 35mm film so it'll be a while ;) but i took this with my phone


http://www.t-mobilepictures.com/photos/photo16/f6/5f/0898fc0b905d.jpeg?_rh=8w9ht3jp0587a3p116bzhbidi

i asked Mr. Kennedy what he thinks about the draft tonight and he replied with "It's pretty exciting."

the session was quick, 1 autograph per person, and 1 photo. it sucked because I really wanted to talk with Kennedy and also to Maria and tell her that it was my second time meeting her.

i know this has nothing to do with wrestling, but this chick was totally busting out of her top :D

http://www.t-mobilepictures.com/photos/photo05/c5/2a/4594f8dd8d39.jpeg?_rh=cclbaeml9tpfwv6bltx4v623a

[SouthsideX300]

Damn, did you get the number?

[jbailey84]

no :( her b/f was there

[ZombieMan]

^^^ Thanks for the bonus picture, hahaha!!!

[jbailey84]

lol no prob ;)

she had her shirt on at first then she took it off revealing that tank top. this guy in front of me was like "damn dude, you see that chick with her boobs popping out? should get a pic of that." told him "I already did." :D

well im on my way to pick up some friends then onto RAW!! i'll be wearing my heath ledger joker shirt so hopefully i'll get on tv somewhere :)

[WendyGirl33]

Cryme Tyme to Smackdown.

[Starwars411]

Man, some big draft picks. Maybe they'll have Batista win and become World Champ for Raw and HHH on Smackdown, but Cena will probably win the title from HHH.

And the ending segment was a big "wtf". Looks like another storyline where Vince gets messed up like the limo explosion, but this time he'll probably become paralyzed.

[jbailey84]

i just got back from the show and wow!! what a draft!!

yea the ending segment we all were thinking it was The Undertaker. a small "Under-Taker" chant broke out.

the major switch that shocked me was Jim Ross to Smackdown. WTF!?

here's the shirt i got for $20

i expected CM Punk & Kane to RAW.
same with Mr. Kennedy to Smackdown.

i would write more but i am so friggen tired. i'll post up some pics when i get them developed.

[chewie]

Well I would expect the Big Show to win on Sunday and I guess either Cena or Batista has to win. Good show though.

[RedVader 2004]

The Battle Royale was pretty good. I can see a Batista v/s Cena Rivalry. Kane is good on Raw as well. But hey Good ole JR on Smackdown with Foley. The King and Good Ole JR is over but neither are dirty commentaters. I love Mick and i know Jr personally thinks alot of Mick in real life. He liked Foley and Austin about the same.

[chewie]

I just love how Vince for almost the past year has gone against some of the major internet rumors.

[RedVader 2004]

What has he changed and what rumors where they. I must have missed something.

[chewie]

There was a rumor that Cena would go to Smackdown.

[jbailey84]

and it was HHH and that Batista was going to stay on Smackdown but is now on RAW

[RedVader 2004]

I think Raw got the better trade if ask me. Ray Jr, Batista, Punk and Kane if ask me. Mix in Cena , Micheals, Jerchio, and a healed Orton and you'll have a pretty good show.
Too bad Raw lost good ole JR.

[ZombieMan]

Yeah, I am going to miss JR on Raw, for sure...I was very happy to see Kane come back to Raw! Matt Hardy to ECW was disappointing as hell. Jeff Hardy to Smackdown was disappointing as well. I think that they both should have been on Raw together. CM Punk to Raw sucks in my opinion. He was a top player in ECW and brought a lot of fans to that brand. Rey Jr. to Raw was a good draft! Who cares about Umaga to Smackdown, haha!!! Batista to Raw was a pretty good draft pick, I think. About the ending of Raw. I think that its VERY tasteless to do that. Being that a TNA crew worker got killed a few weeks ago or so, from the stage collapsing or whatever happened exactly.

[chewie]

Vince will come back saying that him giving away the money was bad karma causing the set to collapse thus ending McMahon's Million Dollar Mania. I do agree with you though with the fact that they could have done it another way in light of recent events in TNA.

[ChaCho]

I just got back and saw the draft, it was really cool. Biggest shockers were JR and HHH going to SmackDown. Those two persons I could never have imagined leaving RAW. I know HHH did some years ago but he got switched back instantly. RAW definitely got the better deal. And ECW was simply the ***** of the show. I dont know what happened on TNA but I dont think Vince would have done something like that trying to make fun of TNA per se. I just dont see him going that far in competition with other businesses.

At Night of Champions, it would be awsome if HHH and Edge won, thus leaving the WWE Championship and World Title at SmackDown

[Knerys]

That was the weirdest broadcast of RAW I have ever seen....

And what happened on TNA?

[jbailey84]

Im glad Mr. Kennedy went to SD, now FINALLY he can get revenge on Edge!

[chewie]

That was the weirdest broadcast of RAW I have ever seen....

And what happened on TNA?

One of members of TNA's stage crew died when he was taking down part of the Slammiversary set after the PPV was over and fell some 25-30 feet when the scaffolding collapsed.

[jbailey84]

well im off to get my film developed.

forgot to mention that I met Sign Guy :D that guy is tall!! really friendly too. he was over by one of the entrances taking some pics with fans so I asked if could get a pic with him and he was like "yea dude sure!" really cool lol. as we were walking to get in, he opened the door letting people in saying "Welcome to my show!" so I held the door open and let him in. he replied "Thanks! Alright, I need a beer!" so im hoping the picture came out.

[Felix Leiter]

Turn Punk heel.

"I don't drink, I don't do drugs...I'm better then you."

]XuP8tqxeslY

[chewie]

How long ago was that?

[jbailey84]

damn Punk needs to turn heel, that was sweet!!

must have been long ago, Punk had blonde hair. dude, if Punk turned heel like, with that exact attitude, have him team with Orton.

[Starwars411]

I think it may have been back in 2004.

[RedVader 2004]

I'd like to see Cena or Batista turn heel for with there power it be a true force to deal with. I wonder if we will see Austin again anytime soon. Whats with the retired Ric Flair on Raw again.
Well it makes since the smackdown lottery JR went to Smackdown and so didn't Triple HHH.

One of members of TNA's stage crew died when he was taking down part of the Slammiversary set after the PPV was over and fell some 25-30 feet when the scaffolding collapsed.

Oh. Damn. :(

about Taker

With the shock ending to last night's WWE RAW and Vince McMahon apparently being "injured" after the WWE set collapsed on him, it looks like they are going to go with another "Whodunit?" type angle. I hoped they had learned their lesson from the Vince's son and Vince's limousine storylines but I had a bad taste in my mouth last night after watching the conclusion to RAW. Did someone try to kill Vince McMahon?

We haven't heard much news yet on where this angle is headed but the one thing we have been told is that it came as a total surprise to most people backstage at RAW last night. The general feeling is only a handful of guys knew about what was going to happen.

But where could they take this? I could see Vince taking himself off TV possibly, which has been talked about recently. Another thing I could maybe see happening is The Undertaker playing some kind of role in it. Maybe The Deadman could be pissed off at leaving WWE and come back as a mega heel on the RAW brand? It's likely that The Undertaker will be on RAW upon returning as SmackDown's roster is looking pretty beefed up.

[RedVader 2004]

If anything Raw is beefed up with Batista, Kane and Cena along with Mysterio and Micheals and well the list goes on. Then Thers Randy Orton. Um since when was The Big Show on Smackdown for he returned on Raw call me confused here. Also i thaugh Show was a ECW wrestler befor his injury.

[DangerMouse]

I wonder if they decided to continue the storyline that was started with Vince's limo exploding.

If I recall, they ditched it because of some real-life thing that happened right about the same time.

Right?

[jbailey84]

they ditched it because of the whole Benoit murder, which was a year ago yesterday.

[chewie]

I believe the Big Show was placed on the Smackdown roster, he just showed up on Raw every week for a while.

WWE.com is doing a supplemental draft for the mid-card wrestlers and Divas. So far Mark Henry has been drafted to ECW and Jamie Noble was drafted to Raw.
