Go WWE!

[ZombieMan]

I just got done watching Smackdown on my TiVo and I have to say that I'm pretty impressed! Though the first match wasn't great, it was Booker T vs. Tatanka, and Tatanka got the win because The Boogeyman distracted Booker, and Tatanka rolled Booker up. Tatanka is boring the living hell out of me lately. Its cool that he's a fellow Native American and all, but his wrestling skills are ****. They really need to get rid of him. Anyhow, I like this whole Booker T/Boogeyman feud so far. Sharmell is too obvious on her acting skills though, which makes it a little bit lame when she's in the picture. I saw Randy Orton vs. Super Crazy and that was one hell of a match! They had better keep Super Crazy around for awhile, as he's one of my current favorites. He never bores me. Of course, Orton helped sell the moves well, as he always does. They announced a new WM match, being a U.S. title match between Chris Benoit and JBL. That match should be interesting enough. Matt Hardy and Animal teamed up and took on MNM, and after the match Animal made a heel turn and attacked Hardy. That kind of surprises me in a way, but yet it doesn't. They needed something new with Animal, but I didn't completely see a heel turn. Its a wise choice if you ask me, because he should be a singles wrestler for awhile. But a Hardy/Animal feud should be pretty damn good! Also, I can see Paul Burchill and William Regal going for the tag titles soon, and I think that Burchill's new "pirate" gimmick is already getting over with the fans and he hasn't even wrestled in that outfit yet. We will see next week, but its a good idea!!! This Lashley/Fit Finlay feud is entertaining as hell! They are both dang good wrestlers, and the way that they ended their match rocked my world. Very good ending, and way to set up a feud, it could be a classic! Kurt Angle vs. The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Title was AWESOME!!!! The match was so good and Taker had it won until the end, when Mark Henry came in there. I guess that we will see Taker vs. Mark Henry at WM??? God, I hope not, thats such a crappy match. I would rather see Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle vs. Batista (if he's back in time) and let Taker win it. Mark Henry needs a contract release, but he's worth alot of money to WWE so I doubt they will do that. Anyhow, I'll quit rambling about Smackdown, but I really, really enjoyed it this week. It keeps getting better and better, and it kicks Raw's ass easily.

[Glordreen]

nothing beats RAW, smackdown sucks!

[insaneMoViEgoer]

i guess he should have kissed vince's ass

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

[ZombieMan]

nothing beats RAW, smackdown sucks!

Then obviously you haven't been watching Smackdown lately. And if you have...How can you not realize the talent level of the Smackdown superstars? Sure, Raw's superstars might have more charisma and better mic work, but they lack talent in the ring all-together. Not all of them, there are a few that are good in-ring performers like Shelton Benjamin, Chavo, Carlito, RVD, and Ric Flair. But the rest of them are kind of blahhhhhh...Raw is the "top brand" only because they have alot of the bigger name stars.

[jbailey84]

it would have been worse if he did kiss his ass, and then gets fired lol that would suck big time! no pun intended ;)

[FVD]

Marty Jannetty posted the following message on his myspace site:

"...Due to travel restrictions I have as part of a probation agreement, I was denied travel this week to Birmingham, Alabama for Monday Night Raw. As you could or should imagine, this is a disaster for WWE as they now have to go back and rewrite a major portion of their show in which I was to be included in, and with less than 3 days notice. The fact that this could happen again at any given time my [parole officer] decides against me traveling, is good reason for WWE to be concerned in another major disaster especially with Wrestlemania coming up. Could you imagine that 2 days before that show I'm told I can NOT go to Chicago. Please understand WWE's position, and believe in them as they have not closed the window of opportunity yet. We are working hard right now on getting all travel restrictions lifted. It is a good possibility that it will happen. If you really care and are concerned, believe me when I say, prayer works and is greatly needed and appreciated right now. I'm getting tons of e-mails from friends and fans hating Vince and the WWE right now. They are not at fault!!! And, they are supporting me on this, so no more hating on them, ok?? I thank all of you for your support , cares and concerns. I love you all!!! I do have a strong gut feeling everything is going to be fine!!!"

[ZombieMan]

WWE is thinking about putting Cade and Murdoch back together as a tag team again. Thought I'd let you all know and see what your opinions are.

[carnage4u]

those 2 have zero energy to me...


i will agree that some of smackdown has been more intersting then raw.. altough Henry is such a huge void of no talent, he brings down the entire expericne.

I am 90% im not going to bother with wrestlemania. which makes me sad.

[HotBoy]

I'm predicting that on RAW this coming monday, Austin shows up to help Shawn Michaels against the McMahons. It's just too much of a coincidence that he's inducting Bret Hart into the WWE Hall Of Fame.

[Rogue]

I wish Austin would make an appearance. I miss him. No one ...well..maybe The Rock and Taker compares to Austin in my eyes ;)

[Buckethead]

WWE isnt what it was back in the day - Not enough personality and too many generic people.

[ZombieMan]

^^^ Its starting to get that way. And when you say back in the day. Which time frame are you looking at? I'm just curious. I have a guess though.

[Buckethead]

Say mid 80's to Mid 90's at the latest.

[chewie]

I think I read that Austin was supposed to be at Saturday Night's Main Event.

[ZombieMan]

Well, I'm pretty pissed off. I was working last night, and had to record Smackdown on my TiVo with my season pass. So, I get home to watch it, and it recorded a damn basketball game. So, they delayed Smackdown until later in the night, and I caught the end of it. I didn't know for sure what time that they would air it, so I kept checking, and got in on the end. This is total crap!!!

[Starwars411]

Yea, Austin is supposed to face JBL in a Beer Drinking Contest at SNME.

[ZombieMan]

I hope that Raw is good tonight. Its been REAL lame lately...WM might suck...

[filmstudent04]

wow, could wrestling get any more lamer?...seriously get off the subject of SCREWED thing....it doenst work ne more...ppl see right through it...

[carnage4u]

considering the lack of posts since a weeks ago raw. we can see how the current stuff is boring. and this is not good so close before wrestlemania. this is usually when stuff picks up. not fall apart.

[Buckethead]

Ye - WWE is sit these days

[ZombieMan]

Yeah, WM still looks like it might suck. Though, I'm excited to see Finlay in that "Money-In-The-Bank" match. That is the only thing that I'm looking forward to, so far.

[jbailey84]

any thoughts on the ECW One Night Stand 2 ppv on who they can get to wrestle since Rhyno, Dudleys, Sabu, Raven, and i think Sandman are with TNA or you think they can still get them for that night?

[Ser Ty Of Ross]

Yeah, WM still looks like it might suck. Though, I'm excited to see Finlay in that "Money-In-The-Bank" match. That is the only thing that I'm looking forward to, so far.

My guess is that Lashley will be joining him there again.

[ZombieMan]

any thoughts on the ECW One Night Stand 2 ppv on who they can get to wrestle since Rhyno, Dudleys, Sabu, Raven, and i think Sandman are with TNA or you think they can still get them for that night?

I highly doubt that they get out of their TNA contract for the ECW show, sadly...Which totally sucks! Though, I hear that we might see Terry Funk!!! Wooohooo, I'm a Funker fan!

[carnage4u]

Raw last night didnt completely suck. at least I enjoyed some of it. For some reason I like crazy Mickie, and the mick foley stuff from last two shows has amused me enough.

oh well.... still wish we could get better, but i'm going to try chill out so i can enjoy some of wrestlemania at least)

[FVD]

There are some nude pics of Mickie James all over the Internet I recently discovered. I was in total shock. Still don't like her though.

Anyway enough of that, I notice that Torrie is heading toward a face turn.

And some of the recent WWE talent I've learned that have re-signed with the company. Notably Chuck Palumbo, Shannon Moore and Test. I think Test should grow his hair back. He along with Christian looked almost alike with their haircuts. It was looking to the point that they could have been blonde Lance Storms. ;)

I discovered those Mickie James pictures not too long ago, and they rock! ;) I like her on television as well. I think that she's a good wrestler and deserves the Women's title, which she will probably win at WM. About Palumbo, Moore, and Test...I don't think that Palumbo or Moore are worth the money to be wasting. I mean, they are both pretty good wrestlers, but probably won't get used right. I wrestled against Shannon Moore up north once, and I tagged with Poindexter against him and ZenZen. It was a good match, but Shannon was way too quick for me. Haha!!! Anyhow, Test is an interesting guy in and outside of the ring. He doesn't have the greatest wrestling skills, but he will eventually be a top contender for a heavyweight title, I'm sure. I know that they will probably use him well. Also, I would like to bring something up...WWE recently hired Goldust and hasn't used him other than Heat, that I can recall. Its sort of pissing me off because he's a great wrestler and entertains the hell out of me. I'm a big Goldust fan! They should put him on Smackdown and tag him up with Booker T again, and freak Sharmell out even more. Also, after WM, I hope that we see Trevor Murdoch return to Raw more often, and Lance Cade.

[jbailey84]

first off i would like to say that i am VERY happy to see Test back in the WWE. ive always liked Test and hope they use him well for either the Intercontinental or U.S. Belt or maybe even the Heavyweight Title.

but onto what i wanted to say, i was over at WWE.com and they have some wrestlers that tell what their favorite wrestlemania moment is. well i thought it would be cool if we tell our favorite wrestlemania moments. whether it be matches, surprise appearances, wrestlemania itself, just whatever comes to mind :) what could be cool is from whomever particapates we can see the Grandest Wrestlemania Moment that is mentioned the most ;)

just something to keep this thread going and until Wrestlemania 22

[FVD]

I remember the Unamericans stable a while back with Lance Storm, Christian and Test. I remember when Test joined. I couldn't stop laughing at how angry he was against the US. It was his initial reaction that had me in stitches. Hilarious was the word. Even Storm cracked me up.

[ZombieMan]

^^^ I never did like Lance Storm for some reason. I know that he was pretty popular with alot of fans, but I couldn't get into him. He was always too boring with his personality. I guess that was part of his gimmick, but I never met the guy, so I can't say for sure.

[jbailey84]

he was ALOT better in ECW then WWE got him and was like now what...

[kev123]

Test is comin bk into WWE I liked his big boot lol.

I think RAW is alot better than SMACKDWN, smackdwn is really really predictable and it gets on my tits lol

[ZombieMan]

^^^ Right now, I'm more into Smackdown. Their wrestlers are more top quality to me. Sure its a little cheesy, but those guys can wrestle up a storm.

[FVD]

he was ALOT better in ECW then WWE got him and was like now what...

Storm simply wasn't used to the best of his ability in WWE. At least he got a push in WCW. I loved how he changed the US title to the Canadian title. And also how shocking it was when Hacksaw Jim Duggan turned his back on America to go Canadian appearing clean shaven in the process. I never ever thought that Duggan would ever turn heel. But he did. They all do I suppose.

[jbailey84]

yea Storm was decent in WCW. i agree about Duggan. very similar with who would have thought about Hogan ever turning heel.

i also agree with zombie about the Smackdown wrestlers.

[jbailey84]

from various wrestling sites

Bret "Hitman" Hart conducted a very interesting interview with "The Calgary Sun" yesterday where he talked about a number of topics, including the Hall of Fame ceremony and his participation in Wrestlemania.

Hart told reporters that he will not be appearing at Wrestlemania 22, despite the WWE's numerous attempts to get him to sign a contract to participate. Bret is just not interested in getting involved with any storylines or angles in the WWE, and looks at the Hall of Fame as his way of saying goodbye and thank you to all of his fans, as well as bringing a sense of closure to his wrestling career.

However, Bret did reveal that if he sees Shawn Michaels at any point during the Hall of Fame ceremony, he will get into a cab and leave for the airport without a moment's pause. Hart admits to still having a lot of anger inside of him in regards to Michaels and feels that having the two of them in the same room together would be just too combustible.

[ChaCho]

^thats sad.
After so many years still being angry about what happened so long ago... wow

[ZombieMan]

Bret just needs to drop it, seriously.

[jbailey84]

on the dvd it looked like he did! i guess not :(

i dont know if you all have read it anywhere, but the rumored place for Wrestlemania 23 is Detriot, MI

[chewie]

They should be announcing that pretty soon right?

[jbailey84]

yea at Wrestlemaina ;)

well here are my picks for this years Wrestlemania

World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton* vs. Rey Mysterio

WWE Champion John Cena vs. Triple H*

Mr. McMahon vs. Shawn Michaels* (No Holds Barred Match)

Money in the Bank Ladder Match WINNER: R...V...D

Undertaker* vs. Mark Henry (Casket Match)

Edge* vs. Mick Foley (Hardcore Match)

United States Champion Chris Benoit* vs. JBL

World Tag Team Champions Kane & Big Show vs. Chris Masters & Carlito*

Women's Champion Trish Stratus vs. Mickie James*

Boogeyman* vs. Booker T & Sharmell

Torrie Wilson vs. Candice Michelle* (Playboy Pillow Fight)

[ZombieMan]

WWE is thinking about bringing back Tammy Lynn Sytch (Sunny). Now, there is no room for such trailer trash *****es on the roster. She got pretty disgusting and I met her like 3 years ago in Indiana. She was trashed out on drugs or something, bad!!! I hear that she's still the same, and she got even bigger than she was (she's pretty fat). I don't understand where this offer comes from and she says that she is going to be on the roster before the end of 2006. YUCK! She had better get ahold of herself...

[ZombieMan]

Here are my picks guys and gals!!!

World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton vs. Rey Mysterio*
(I think that they are hyping Orton too much. I don't think that they will go with him, and I don't think that they will let Angle retain either. There also needs to be a way to get fans more into the WWE heavyweight title and giving to Rey would definitely be interesting!)

WWE Champion John Cena vs. Triple H*

Mr. McMahon* vs. Shawn Michaels (No Holds Barred Match)
(I see this feud continuing. McMahon will screw HBK somehow.)

Money in the Bank Ladder Match WINNER: R.V.D
(Though, I want to see Finlay win it!!!)

Undertaker* vs. Mark Henry (Casket Match)

Edge* vs. Mick Foley (Hardcore Match)

United States Champion Chris Benoit vs. JBL*

World Tag Team Champions Kane & Big Show vs. Chris Masters & Carlito*

Women's Champion Trish Stratus vs. Mickie James*

Boogeyman* vs. Booker T & Sharmell

Torrie Wilson* vs. Candice Michelle (Playboy Pillow Fight)
(I can see Wilson getting upset and ending up just kicking Candice's ass in the ring.)

[carnage4u]

Damn that's a shame. She used to be uber hottt!!! Was she still married to Chris Candido when he died?

[ZombieMan]

Damn that's a shame. She used to be uber hottt!!! Was she still married to Chris Candido when he died?

Yeah, she USE to be hot. Thats for sure, I liked her back then. About Candido and Sytch...I don't think that they were together anymore.

[Rogue]

Oh man... watching EG being inducted into the Hall of Fame is making me cry. I can't handle it. It's too sad. :(

VIVA LA RAZA.

[ZombieMan]

Yeah, the Eddie Guerrero induction was pretty touching, as expected. I'm glad that they decided to induct him. I would LOVE to see Owen Hart be inducted, but his wife would probably never except it, based on what she says in her book. Anyhow, I'm glad that Bret went ahead and came to the induction ceremony. He had a great speech and I thank him for doing it. :) Mean Gene had a good induction and he was well deserving!!!

[carnage4u]

I liked Wrestlemania, and im a bit suprised by that

i redid my picks with my friends before the show to seee who would be the closest

I went 9-2 for the picks

i dindt think rey would actually win, and i was wrong on boogyman.


I am annoyed Cena one, and casket match sucked as expected and boogyman knows no wrestling moves, and pillow match was lame

That being said, the rest of it was cool and the undertaker pulled off some power moves that was impressive.

[filmstudent04]

Wow mania!!!..Idk what everyone else is thinking, but I thought mania was pretty dang good!...see this ppv kinda through everyones expectations off...everyone was expecting hhh to win it, buuuut i think he kinda lost to somewhat pass on the torch to new guys, cuz they really need to start doing that, but no doubt he'll get his rematch and prolly win it at next ppv....buuuut that being said, i give props to wwe for makin cena win it and havin faith in him cuz even though ppl dont like him now, he could be a really cool heal champion...
the smackdown triple threat match could have been slightly better but i really didnt think they would give it to rey, just cuz i think the whole givin it up to eddie thing needs to pass, ya i know its great n all how they inducted him and stuff and they paid their respects which is good, but its also gonna play out realllllllll fast, and i dont think mysterio should have used that to win...if anything they should have given it back to orton, and then taker n orton could have started their feud back up but this time for the championship...which taker would have his final run with it...
Of course the showstopper did return and literally stole the show as always, but his character really never does get old...he always finds a way to make us fans go "Did you see that!?", although i thought it would have put the nail in the coffin for the whole survivor Bret vs McMahon and Michaels had hbk said to vince when he held him up "This one's for Bret!" and thennnn knocked his teeth in, it would have set everything straight, and what bout the old school DX crotch chop!? and HHH doin it as well? are they teasing us or do i see a future greatest faction team pairing up once again?....
Money in the Bank match was pretty cool, no doubt we all knew R.V.D would win it, but now it matters of when he'll use it and on who? R.V.D mysterio would be pretty cool, but i think he wants to be a big time card match up...him n hbk would have some really good matches...
Overall, i thought this was a good ppv, they exceed my expectations, which lately wwe has been really predictable sooo its good that they mix it up a bit

[FVD]

I've only seen half of WM until Dad wanted to take over the damn telly around the beginning of the Undertaker Mark Henry match. I've gotta wait two hours to catch up what I've missed. :mad: The replay just started.

I'm glad RVD won. I didn't really expect him to win. I was thinking Lashley or Shelton but nope. Glad RVD won. I suppose it's because Shelton still holds the Intercontinental title and that Lashley is still a rookie so to speak. Shelton was impressive in the match. Loved his senton executed to perfection out of the ring.

Oh and that scene with Booker T and Sharmell bumping into Goldust, the Pirate guy, Snitsky etc. That was hilarious. Goldust was hilarious as usual. I miss their time together.

[carnage4u]

Edge was really winning to get bloody and that was nice.. Edge winning was no suprise, but it was stilll a great match, which was more then I first feared.. the spear out the ring into a flaming table was indeed enjoyable )


shawn michaels did get some damm good vengeance.

[ZombieMan]

I actually enjoyed Wrestlemania!!! It wasn't as bad as I thought that it was going to turn out. Edge/Foley was pretty dang cool, and especially the flaming table. The money-in-the-bank match was the best IMO, and I expected that. RVD coming out on top, was no surprise to me. Rey Mysterio winning the heavyweight title was a pretty big shock. I wanted him to win it, but didn't think that it would actually happen. Cena keeping the WWE heavyweight title, also shocked me. I was almost sure that Triple H was going to win it.......Cena was boring as hell, as usual in the ring. All of those clothesline, one after another and so on. HBK/Vince McMahon was kind of boring in spots, as I had expected. But the DX crotch chops and HBK saying "suck it", shocked me. And Trips was doing it too, so COULD we see DX coming back together again? If so, then I wonder who the new members would be...Booker T and Sharmell vs. Boogeyman sucked major ass. I expected that match to be a bit better than that. Playboy pillow fight was horrible and they never actually used a pillow that I can remember. Waste of time and money right there. Mickie James winning the women's title was pleasing, and that was a pretty decent match.

[carnage4u]

The crowd reaction to Mickie James was very amusing as well.

also tons of cheers for HHH and boos for cena.. gotta love that.


Triple HHH entrace was very amusing as well.

[Glordreen]

Triple HHH entrace was very amusing as well.

i didnt get the PPV, but i saw the pic of that, its was like in the conan movies. Very cool.

[JasonLV]

DX is coming back.......HHH and HBK only tho..it will be like old school days

Are You Ready??? I Said ARE YOU READY?!?!?!?! Then for the thousands in attendence and that fat guy sitting on the couch, Let's get ready to suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck itttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!

[Glordreen]

that would be awesome to see DX, and just HBK and HHH.

[filmstudent04]

Dannng did ne one see the opening segment of Raw? Edge, and Trips were pretty dang funny! I thought Trips sayin to edge to go back and chill out with the rest of the curtain huggers was great!! I'll still wait though to see if Michaels will come help out HHH cuz the after show thing, he mentions he might do something crazy tonite sooooo we'll see!!!

[FVD]

I thought Mickie James' chick kick was executed poorly. She won't hold the title for long. So I'm a devoted Trish fan. Sue me. ;)

As for Cena's match. Well I was surprised he won and to see the emotion on his face as he held the title once again was rather something.

I knew Mysterio would win the World title so no surprise there.

I admit the Playboy match was nothing more than filler. Yeah where were the damn pillows????

Undertaker was impressive as well. Seeing him fly out of the ring was incredible. And to even see him executing a Tombstone on Henry was amazing also.

So glad that Joey Styles had some screen time not to mention calling the Hardcore match. Edge raised his game in that match. That spear into the flaming table was phenomenal not to mention all them tacks still stuck in his back. Ouch.

All in all a great Wrestlemania.

[chewie]

That promo at the beginning of Raw last night was one of the best in a long time.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

cena needs to turn heel. he had better promos then.

[FVD]

Well it's come to my attention that Tyson Tomko has been released from WWE. Apparently it was at Tomko's request. Oh well he was dead weight anyway. I thought his TKO victories were something different for a change.

[jbailey84]

from rajah.com

WWE issued a text message to their mobile service subscribers today confirming that Randy Orton has been suspended from WWE for "unprofessional conduct."

Although the length of the suspension has not been confirmed,current rumors going around say that it is for 60 days.

Orton had been advertised to take on Rey Mysterio for the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event at tonight's SmackDown tapings.

[FVD]

Damn that ain't good. 60 days sure is a long time.

[ZombieMan]

I'm glad that Tyson Tomko got released. He was pure crap...

[Roy_Bluth]

I wish Orton would have been released. You wanna talk about crap. lol

[filmstudent04]

WOW who is the new guy!?!? This feud with taker should be good!!! Its bout dang time they got another menacing wrestler!! hopefully he wont pull a nathan jones now though...and he kinda resembles giant gonzales...

[FVD]

I'm about to watch Raw and what's this? The f**king fruitcake Spirit Squad beating Kane and Big Show. Too much time has been focused on those losers. They're annoying as hell. And Coach supporting them is just as bad. Typical heel announcers.

Speaking of heel announcers whatever happened to that fatass loudmouth Mark Madden? I was mad when he replaced The Brain in WCW. And then glad when he got the axe. And where is Scott Hudson and Tony Schiavonne these days. And I think Jeremy Borash sounds pretentious. Like the way Sharon Stone is talking these days in her interviews.

Okay I've digressed long enough. ;)

[jbailey84]

yea i agree with you about the spirit squad winning the tag titles. total b.s. but i am happy how they are slowly keeping the feud with Carlito and Masters.

i am very happy because i got my girlfriend and i tickets to the Smackdown brand on April 24 in Stuttgart. we are in the first section up, in row 8. very good seats!! sucks that Orton had to get suspended because i actually like him but i'll still get to see Kurt! WOOOOOO!

[ZombieMan]

I kind of like the Spirit Squad. Sure, their routine and gimmick is super faggish, but they have a few really talented wrestlers. Kenny has tons of potential, and he deserves to have a title, BUT NOT JUST YET. They have barely been there long enough, the WWE should have waited on that one...

[jbailey84]

yea they should have waiting but i guess they wanted someone else other than Kane & Big Show as champs. i hate when WWE does that, stupid gimmick but great skills.

[Roy_Bluth]

That's the WWE's style, it's how they roll. Which is why I haven't watched in a few months.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

i would have liked it if they were more the anti stereotype of male cheerleaders.

[DangerMouse]

I kind of like the Spirit Squad. Sure, their routine and gimmick is super faggish, but they have a few really talented wrestlers. Kenny has tons of potential, and he deserves to have a title, BUT NOT JUST YET. They have barely been there long enough, the WWE should have waited on that one...


They sure threw me. I expected a Big Show/Kane vs. DX reform match.

Unless they plan on making the Spirit Squad even more annoying than they are right now, only to have a reformed DX take them out for the title.

It was only a matter of time before Kane and Big Show went back to singles action again. It was an interesting run though. But if they are going to actually have the tag titles mean anything, they should go back to having actual "tag teams" instead of hodge-podge mixtures of singles with nothing better to do than form a tag-team.

[FVD]

When the Spirit Squad won the titles I was cracking up at Joey Styles' reaction.

"Am I awake???" :lol:

huge news concerning next years Hall of Fame!! from lordsofpain.net

On the WWE mobile text message service, a poll was sent out asking people as to who should be inducted into next year's WWE Hall of Fame in Detroit. The candidates listed include Randy Savage, The Ultimate Warrior, Owen Hart, and Bruno Sammartino.

[Roy_Bluth]

Everyone's going to go with Owen. I wonder if Bret will except on his behalf?Although I'd like to see Bruno win. That would be cool.

The other two choices are stupid. Everyone in the WWE hated Ultimate Warrior, and Randy Savage is a punk *****.

[chewie]

The other two choices are stupid. Everyone in the WWE hated Ultimate Warrior, and Randy Savage is a punk *****.

Does that mean that they shouldn't be inducted?

[daXter]

Warrior hasn't done anything to deserve to be inducted into the HOF

[jbailey84]

yea i dont think Warrior will ever be inducted. wouldnt mind seeing Randy Savage. i was actually thinking about Savage beeing inducted when i was watching Wrestlemania 7, ironically Ultimate Warrior vs Randy Savage.

[ZombieMan]

I would like to see Savage inducted. The Warrior was just an icon in his day and time, thats all. Savage is a punk for sure, but he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame if you ask me. He will never be forgotten by me, as long as I live. He is very memorable on the wrestling scene. "OOOOH YEAHHHHH"!!! As for Owen Hart, I would LOVE for that to happen. I don't know who would accept for him though.

[FVD]

I'd like to see Savage get inducted despite a laughable Rap album dissing Hulk Hogan etc. I bet you Hogan won't be attendance if Savage gets inducted.

As for Owen, I'd like none other than Bret accepting on his behalf. The same for British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith should he ever get honoured. If Dynamite Kid Tom Billington ever gets inducted I'd like to see none other than Chris Benoit to induct him seeing as he was a huge influence on Benoit's career.

[Roy_Bluth]

I'd like to see Savage get inducted despite a laughable Rap album dissing Hulk Hogan etc. I bet you Hogan won't be attendance if Savage gets inducted.

I was saying between Owen, Savage and Warrior, Owen would win. And I agree, what the hell was Savage on when he decided to make that transition? :confused:

From what i heard on the Ultimate Warrior DVD, nobody thought very high of him. I only saw commercials for it though.

the ECW one night stand 2 poster was releaed today and features RVD vs HHH for the WWE title

[Rogue]

Okay I don't like Trips but "Are you done now?!" was P-R-I-C-E-L-E-S-S. I'm glad someone told Edge to STFU. :D I'm liking this Triple H again. I so love Cena. "A little seeeexual." Whooo hooo. I'd love to see him a little sexual! I love them ragging on Lita too. Don't get me wrong, I love Lita and Edge when they are face, but I am so sick and freaking tired of Lita's boobs and Edge's same tired monologues.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

the ECW one night stand 2 poster was releaed today and features RVD vs HHH for the WWE title

http://www.ringsidemayhem.com/specials/ppvposters/ecwonenightstand2.jpg


I love it when they do that. Now I dojn't have to bother with the next pay-per-view considering I know HHH is going to win the title.

Anyone wanna wager on who "God" is going to be? It's not like HHH suddenly being called the "King of Kings" is any sort of God reference or anything.:nono:

So HHH wins the title and DX reforms all in one night.

Might've been a interesting night had they not made it so obvious.

Zombie, if you ever get hired on with WWE, first thing is to make sure they don't make the story lines so obvious...and then make sure they don't leak the PPV outcomes by releasing ECW posters advertising a RVD vs. HHH match for the title before HHH even wins the thing.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

I love it when they do that. Now I dojn't have to bother with the next pay-per-view considering I know HHH is going to win the title.


Tickets for the ECW One Night Stand 2 on June 11th go on sale this Saturday. Tickets are priced at $250 and $100. The show is set to be built around Rob Van Dam and Terry Funk.

A lot of talk about Rob Van Dam using his "Money In The Bank" contract to get a championship match at the pay per view. It has been rumored for a while now that that he would be using the shot against Triple H, as H was originally slotted to win the WWE Title at WrestleMania. However after a lot of thinking by Vince McMahon, he decided to make John Cena retain the championship. However with the Triple Threat Match now scheduled for WWE Backlash later this month involving Triple H, Edge and the champ John Cena for the WWE Championship, everything could change.

Speaking of the ECW One Night Stand 2, the poster which was reported by me last night is actually not the official ECW One Night Stand 2 poster. It was actually made by a fan for a graphics competition.


i hope it's still RVD vs HHH.

[chewie]

I don't see why WWF promotes their PPV main events ahead of time. PPV's don't need any excess promotion aside from what they do on TV.

[ZombieMan]

I haven't gotten the chance to watch Raw or Smackdown yet, I have them on the TiVo. I've been so busy with my band this week and all. I'll have to sit down and watch them tonight maybe.

[bbf2]

Go Canada!

[ZombieMan]

Well, I got to watch Smackdown finally and I will probably watch Raw this evening. I have to say that Smackdown is STILL my favorite and has some of the best talent. Raw is lacking to me lately and I don't care for it much...Smackdown had some great matches on this past week's show, and we saw the debut of the new giant of the WWE. This should be interesting, but I doubt that he's a very good wrestler. ;) It was cool to see Kendrick and London beat MNM, next time hopefully it will be for the titles. London and Kendrick deserve those tag titles for sure!!! As for the new guy Gunner Scott, he kicked some major ass. His moves were very swift and he looks like he could be a big star someday. He looks to be very technical, and I can't wait to see more. As for Burchill and Regal, this stuff is pretty funny and these are two great wrestlers going at it! What a series of matches these two could have.

[Glordreen]

this irrelevant to the topic at hand...but back when HBK and HHH fueded over the World title, did they have a Hell in the Cell match?

[jbailey84]

yes they did have a HIAC match.

[jbailey84]

if anyone cares, this appears to be alot more serious than i thought about Orton :( from rajah.com

Randy Orton’s 60-day suspension is an indefinite suspension. There are reports circulating around that he will not make a return to the company.

WWE is planning to keep him under contract until his deal expires to keep TNA from signing him. They would pay him the smallest amount of money as possible, and he will not be able to work for any other company.

Several people in the company believe that Orton would benefit from counseling.

[ZombieMan]

WOW, I haven't heard anything to be honest. Things have been kept pretty hush, hush then...I've been sitting in wonder about this whole ordeal...

[jbailey84]

well i know there are postings that on friday's smackdowns show, Kurt Angle "breaks" Orton's ankle to play along with the absense. this suspension is more serious than thought :( sucks he had to mess up so bad.

from what i have been reading, it seems that if this counseling helps him out, that WWE MIGHT consider letting him wrestle, but all right now is that they still have him under contract.

the main event for the April 24th show in Stuttgart WAS a rematch from Wrestlemania but now changed to a tag-match with Kurt & Rey Vs JBL & Mark Henry. who cares, its WWE in Germany!!!! :D

[FVD]

Just saw Raw the other night. Still cracking up at Joey Styles' comments during the Spirit Squad match this week. This time his comments were aimed at the Big Show with his bowling ball headbutts and his shotput sized fists.

Is anybody gonna go check out Kane's movie when it comes out?

[insaneMoViEgoer]

some orton info:

There is no singular, standout reason as to why Randy Orton was suspended. In the past few years, he had been fined often, usually for $5,000 per offense. Despite the fines, he'd often joke about them. The fines have largely been a result of his treatment of women, both in and out of the company. Also, he's used rude, abrasive language to people who didn't deserve it, not to mention that he's displayed antisocial behavior. WWE may want Orton to undergo counseling, to get to the root of his social issues. He may even have to get medical help, if it is necessary.

Johnny Ace was said to be fed up with Orton's rude behavior, as it was said to be getting out of hand. Orton's always displayed erratic behavior, however, it started to really get out of control at the start of the year. Also, the fines weren't sending a message to him. The decision to suspend him was based on an incident that took place at the 3/28 Smackdown tapings in Kansas City, at the Kemper Arena. Orton flagrantly violated a very public company policy. It was a lot more serious than your typical dress code issue, and it had nothing to do with either creative or economic issues. Apparently, whatever he did, was the final straw. Whatever he did, has been done before in the past as a form of protest, however, nobody was so brazen to do it inside of a building with plenty of people potentially witnessing it, including people not employed by the company who happened to be in the building at the time. Orton was informed of the WWE's decision to suspend him after Wrestlemania.

Nobody went against Johnny Ace's decision to suspend him, including friends of Orton, who would normally not side with Johnny Ace. Although, these same people were surprised that WWE made the news of his suspension so public.

Orton's future in World Wrestling Entertainment will be decided upon in the next few weeks. It is likely that Johnny Ace and Vince McMahon will be discussing Orton's future in the WWE this week, and they may make some sort of decision. It should be noted that the day after Orton was informed of the WWE's decision to suspend him (the 4/4 Smackdown tapings), he seemed very interested in keeping his job.

[jbailey84]

that sucks :( had a great feud with Undertaker.

is it just me or does Trish look better with dark hair?

[ZombieMan]

Trish does look better with dark hair indeed! Also, does anyone else think that "God" is going to be Triple H, and a DX reunion of some sort? ;)

[carnage4u]

this god angle cant get much worse or lame


triple HHH would be an option, but he does have a match that night as well. hard to see him do double duty.

unless he does, and then wins the title. and we have dx with a HHH as the champ and michaels as the lacky


Trish really needs to take a week of wrestling and come over to my place

[ZombieMan]

I could see Edge joining DX and having Lita as their replacement to Chyna. Cade and Murdoch would be good in DX if they lost their damn "redneck" gimmicks. Those two have the charisma to be degenerates from hell. They could totally replace the New Age Outlaws for the DX spot, and plus Cade was taught to wrestle by Shawn Michaels himself and their style is pretty much similar. Murdoch is really old-school like Triple H, HBK, Cade, and Edge (he's old-school sometimes).

[chewie]

That God angle is pretty lame. When the pyro went off by the ringposts last night I just shook my head in disbelief.

[carnage4u]

i was hoping they had some fool backstages playing with the pyro.. I would have laughed if that was the case.

[jbailey84]

HHH can be an option for "God" since he IS the King of Kings ;)

[Rogue]

What the hell did Orton do?

[jbailey84]

something very bad :( WWE hasnt released what he has done. just something about his attitude getting too cocky and the way he treats female employees.

[Glordreen]

That God angle is pretty lame. When the pyro went off by the ringposts last night I just shook my head in disbelief.

yeah its pretty stupid. I was expecting whe McMaho said Micahaels and God, that it was going to be a handicap match. But they are going to be retarted and disgraceful and actually carry this angle out.

[DangerMouse]

We'll know if the whole DX thing is a go depending on when they schedule each match.

If you see the main event being HBK/God vs the McMahon's, the DX reunion is 100% on.

But if the triple threat match comes after the HBK tag match, who knows what the heck they'll do.

With all the talk of "God", I wonder if they'll bring Hulk Hogan out.

Personally, I think the whole "King of Kings" thing is just to obvious for it not to be HHH.

[jbailey84]

maybe Stone Cold will be "God"

[ZombieMan]

My money is on Triple H, with all of the crotch chops going on.

[DangerMouse]

My money is on Triple H, with all of the crotch chops going on.


AND Vince has already laid the seeds for a feud with HHH with the whole Edge & Cena vs. HHH match from RAW...and (pardon the pun) HHH has already laid the "seed" for a feud with Vince that would involve Stephanie's pregnancy.

I think a full blown DX revival is on the horizon and I have a feeling that Lita will turn on Edge and will cost him the championship. Cena won't be the one who gets pinned. In fact I predict he won't even be in the ring.

[Rogue]

Hopefully I'm sick of Lita and Edge together. Lita needs to hit the ropes again and take that strap from Mickie..Trish...whichever of the Psycho Twins has it.

[filmstudent04]

Idk you guys( and gals) I think this is setting up for shawn to take some downtime...i read online while back that after mania he needs/wants some time off, sooo i kinda think this is setting him up to lose badly and then take some time away....that way it'll look like vince is god type of thang....idk jussss throwing that out there, althought it would be awesome to see dx back but a more mature dx cuz both michaels n hhh have matured...who knows i guess we'll just have to wait n see

[jbailey84]

i guess we might get a sneak on who "God" will be this coming Raw. my money is still with Stone Cold ;)

i can understand the whole crotch chops with HHH but when i think back on it, it could have been in the spur of the moment from seeing Shawn doing it then hearing the crowds reaction in his match with Cena at WM22.

[jbailey84]

from rajah.com about possible reformation of DX

Many have wondered with Shawn Michaels and Triple H both using the D-X crotch chop if there is a chance that WWE could be thinking of bringing back the DeGeneration X faction.

PWTorch.com is reporting that there is at least some chance that the company plans on reforming one of the most successful factions in WWE history. However, one can never be assured as WWE has been known for teases and storylines that only build hype.

With Shawn Michaels being a “born again Christian,” his religion will obviously limit what he will be willing to do.

Due to contractual obligations with TNA and WWE’s disinterest in them, Kip and BG James would not be brought back to the company. There is a possibility that Sean Waltman could be brought back to join DX if the
WSX promotion does not take off.

[ZombieMan]

I don't think that Shawn's religion would play a part in stopping DX. Since, he is going with this whole thing of Vince making fun of God and disrespecting. I'd say that HBK is willing to do about anything.

[jbailey84]

yea i agree with you. cause if Shawns religion played a part of it, this whole "God" angle wouldnt be happening.

Backlash is looking pretty good. i am very happy how they slowly kept the Carilto/Masters thing going on. wouldnt really call it a feud yet ;)

gotta love the whole Mickie/Trish feud. really great stuff!

[ZombieMan]

^^^ Yeah, that Mickey/Trish feud is frickin' awesome! Carlito vs. Masters will be fun too!

[FVD]

I missed Raw this week. Just finished watching Smackdown as of 4 hours ago. That new giant dude being managed by Daivari. Wasn't he that dude from the Longest Yard. And all of the outfits William Regal wore was hilarious.

As for DX do we really want to see Sean Waltman (Xpac) come back to WWE?

[ZombieMan]

^^^ Yes, the giant guy IS the guy from The Longest Yard. And if DX were to come back, would we want to see X-Pac again? Sure thing, I'd love it!!! Nothing like a DX reunion. Too bad that we won't see Bad Ass Billy Gunn, or the D-O-DOUBLE G. Those guys were frickin' awesome back in the day. "LETTTS GET READY TO SUCK ITTTTTTTTTT"!!!

[DangerMouse]

I don't think they're dumb enough to bring back X-Pac.

Both he and Chynia are a freeking train wreck.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

PWInsider reports that WWE has made the decision to bring ECW back as a full-time entity.

The company has begun negotiating with past ECW stars about working for the new group, which is being eyed for a September debut.

According to sources, WWE has not yet determined the means in which the shows will take place. Paul Heyman and Tommy Dreamer will be in charge of booking.

One-year minimum contracts to join the revived ECW will be sent out next week. The Sandman, Francine and Balls Mahoney are among those to be asked about signing.

best. news. ever. :omg:

only if they dont f*** it up.

This according to Prowrestling.com:

In a follow-up to the story that we posted earlier about ECW returning full-time, the plan was said to be finalized in the last week or so.

WWE is not looking to add a third day to their television schedule. It is believed this will be a mix of both former ECW wrestlers and new WWE developmental wrestlers who have been working house shows under Paul Heyman.

Speaking of Heyman, he will be in charge of the ECW brand. The plan is to run house shows and some form of weekly television as well.

Dave Meltzer reports that it would likely be handled similar to the Superastros deal in the late 90s, with weekly matches taped before either the Raw or Smackdown tapings.

:omg:

[ZombieMan]

I don't think they're dumb enough to bring back X-Pac.

Both he and Chynia are a freeking train wreck.

Chyna is definitely a wreck, as for X-Pac. The WWE talked to him about 4 months ago about coming back to the company and he decided to wait a little longer for reasons unknown. So, its always a possibility for him. As for the ECW return, thats pretty cool. :)

[jbailey84]

from rajah.com

Sabu has officially signed a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment. Best known for his run in ECW, Sabu wrestled for TNA Wrestling as recent as last night at their Lockdown PPV, losing clean to Samoa Joe.

Sabu's agreement is for one year with the option to renew for a second year. Sabu will be wrestling at the upcoming ECW One Night Stand PPV in June and will be appearing on WWE television along with several other ECW stars in the weeks leading up to the ECW event.

It was reported this week that ECW would be returning as a fulltime promotion later this year, most likely in September. Expect Sabu to return home to his hardcore roots.

[ZombieMan]

I have high hopes as of now, that Triple H will be "God" come PPV time. Things are looking that way to me still yet. Off the subject, but who else would like to see Trevor Murdoch and Lance Cade back in the hunt for the tag team titles? I know that it would be two heel teams vs. each other. BUT, I think that Cade and Murdoch could both be faces. You could turn them into the funny type of hillbiliies who do humiliating, and hilarious things to their opponents. At least for Murdoch anyhow, I've seen Trevor play a face in the indy circuit for many years and he actually does a good job. I think that people would be pleasantly surprised. Also, I think that our new tag champs are good, but I just want to see better competitors for the titles. I would still like to see Viscera and Val Venis go for the titles too, they are good together. I hear that Snitsky and Goldust might be the next tag team to be coming up. That might not be too bad, as I'm a big Goldust fan!

[carnage4u]

If the god match is last, i would imagine its Triple HHH
but i would find it odd if that was indeed the last match.

[DangerMouse]

Mark my words:

If the McMahon's vs. HBK match is last, and I think it will be, YOU WILL hear "Let's get ready to SSSSSSSUCK IT!!!!!"

Also, if they announce that match as the Main Event, Trips is going to win the title as well.

I don't know where guys came up with HHH being the tag partner, but I like it. That would be one hell of an idea. I would love to see them reunite, even if it wasn't for DX.

[Rogue]

*sigh* I was watching old videos of The Rock ...I really miss him. I so wish he'd come back. I miss the old days.

[jbailey84]

here are the results when i went to the Smackdown house show in Stuttgart,Germany April 24.

Tatanka beat Orlando Jordan

MNM beat The Hooligans

Matt Hardy beat The Road Warrior

Nunzio and Funaki fought to a No Contest when The Great Khali came out and beat down both men.

Kristal beat Jillian Hall. during the match Jillian's top came off exposing her bra which she totally flaunted to the crowd.

Greg Helms lost to Gunner Scott in a Non Title Match.

Finley beat Paul Birchill

Chris Benoit beat Regal via Crossface.

Booker T, Mark Henry, & JBL lost to Bobby Lashley, Kurt Angle, and Rey when Rey 619 JBL then Frog Splashed for the win! Mr.Kennedy was the Special Guest Announcer.

Overall it was a pretty good show. Helms/Scott match was very boring. Benoit/Regal had to been match of the night. Great technical wrestling!! Small "ECW" & "Little Guido" chant when Nunzio fought. Really great to see Mr.Kennedy....Kennedy! Mixed reaction for the mention of Rey and also his entrance. They did have pyro's for Booker T, Kurt Angle, and Rey.

What really made me mad, is they didn't allow old school focus camera's!! I asked Security if camera's were allowed, they said no. As soon as I walk into the arena, nothing but flashes from camera's!! Can't use focus camera's, but you can use DIGITAL Camera's that allow VIDEO. Go figure. That was my only complaint. But I got my money's worth getting a Wrestlemania Revenge Europe Tour Shirt and the Red&Black RKO Shirt :D

All I can say is that I am looking forward too when the WWE goes to Houston for the rumored Royal Rumble!! Thats when I move back to the states of course ;)

[FVD]

Having just watched Raw I can accept the fact that the Spirit Squad are nothing more than comic relief. And that Umaga character. Here is the correct pronounciation. Umanga. The former All Black rugby captain also shares that last name (Tana Umaga).

I've just read a short headline about Hardcore Holly and his fight to stay alive. Something about a serious staph infection thus the fact that he may lose his arm even if he beats the disease. There's an interview up on WWE.com. A shame that as I've always liked Holly.

It sucks trish got hurt. You could see her shouldjoint was out of whack, and the replay of her fall was painful.

overall the pay-per-view was a complete waste. the money i spent on it, would have been better served by setting it on fire and burning it. at least that woudl have been more fun to watch then the ppv.

I agree. I'm disgusted with the WWE right now. I'm tired of paying cash to see the same result...CENA RETAINS.

If DX dosen't come back on RAW tonight, Or if HHH don't get a shot and win the damn belt tonight.....or BOTH.....WWE can kiss my butt.....at least until I hear Cena has dropped the title finally.

[carnage4u]

around thsi time. i always watch less wrestling. I wont put myself thru another diva search..

just to much random crap going on as well.. just sort of sad.

[chewie]

Yeah, the diva search is complete crap. just a waste of a segment of the show. The title needs to change hands on Raw sometime soon, but I fear that's just wishful thinking.

[DangerMouse]

I don't know about DX, but I know Cena won't drop the title tonight. But I smell a heel turn coming...and then I'm about 100% positive that RVD will win the title when he challenges Cena for a championship match at the upcoming ECW ppv.

[jbailey84]

well theres a HUGE rumor going around that JBL will win the title from Rey, and RVD will challenge JBL for it at ECW One Night Stand & will jump ship to Smackdown. i think Carlito should get the IC Title.

i was right about Cena retaining the title. i dont think he'll lose it until Summer Slam. i dont know why but it just seems right.

looks like the Mickie/Trish feud will be on hold for a while.

[KingMizfit]

I don't know about DX, but I know Cena won't drop the title tonight. But I smell a heel turn coming...and then I'm about 100% positive that RVD will win the title when he challenges Cena for a championship match at the upcoming ECW ppv.



So Angle couldn't beat him....Jericho couldn't beat him...hell...HHH couldn't beat him...but RVD can? Don't get me wrong...RVD'S the man....but he ain't no HHH or Angle. I think these matches were supposed to help cena get credible...but all it did was make two of the best wrestlers ever look like crap.

All I know is if they send Cena into the ECW arena...the crowd may eat his soul. HHH imo....is one of the few WWE guys the ECW crowd may respect....
JBL vs RVD or HHH vs RVD makes waaaaayyyy more sense then RVD vs CENA.
With Mick Foley being a guest on Edges's Cutting edge show tonight.....It's not impossible that Cena and HHH will hook up again.....
But...I won't get my hopes up...thats for damn sure.

[jbailey84]

yea if Cena were to ever step foot into an ECW arena, they will eat him alive.

i wouldnt mind seeing Cena Vs RVD later down the road, but not at ECW ONS.

Badass!! :)

[trancy_eyes]

i ***kin love that tat!!!

[FVD]

After seeing Backlash last night the highlight of the PPV had to be the RVD vs Shelton Benjamin match. Damn I loved Shelton's counter to RVD's Rolling Thunder. Also the Van Daminator to Shelton's head with the brief case was awesome. Now why JR and the King didn't call it the Van Daminator was beyond me. Now if Joey Styles were calling the action he would have called it right away.

Also Vince's segments backstage were hilarious not to mention JR's reaction to the Candice Michelle debacle. And I was really hoping somebody would come to HBK's aid. So much for the God thing. Nothing but the Spirit Squad. :rolleyes:

The King: "You got the Father, the Son and the holy Spirit Squad." http://www.dreamtheater.net/bb/images/smilies/laugh.gif

As for RVD vs Cena, the ECW One Night Stand PPV ain't the right time to pit these two combatants together. I do agree with the ECW crowd. They will tear Cena apart. But RVD challenging for the World Heavyweight title would be a sure thing. I wouldn't mind RVD challenging JBL or Angle even should they win the title from Rey Mysterio.

Lastly the situation with Kane and the May 19 date tormenting him, I reckon the crowd should chant "MAY 19" during his matches. I think Kane will really go nuts then. It was also funny when Big Show mentioned that he was in the Waterboy. ;)

Oh and nice tattoo too Bailey. http://dreamtheater.net/bb/images/icons/icon14.gif

[KingMizfit]

well I guess DX "sort of" reformed last night. I can't really see anywhere else they would go with what happened.

[carnage4u]

Raw moment with Joey styles was great... i dont know I just loved that segment.. coolest thing ive seen in a while

the shawn/hhh moment was intersting too. the entire ending was amusing enough.

[ZombieMan]

Nice tat jbailey!!! I totally dig it. :)

Yeah I think styles said what alot of us have been feeling lately. HHH and HBK has saved the WWE from losing a loyal viewer for the time being. Things are going to get interesting in the coming weeks.

[filmstudent04]

yaaa idk seriously they are really toyin with our minds on this whole DX reunion thing.....i havent heard ne news backstage bout it though, but i wouldnt be suprised if they brought it back just for a lil bit, hell i wouldnt mind seein shawn vs hhh some more too, cuz they had prolly one of the best feuds out there

[insaneMoViEgoer]

*siiiiiiiiigh*

I miss the good ol' days. :funny:

Classic.
hopefully those good days come back soon ;)



WWE.com has an interview up with The Rock where he talks about his film "Southland Tales" being one of three American films being chosen for the coveted Palme d’or or Golden Palm award at the prestigious and legendary Cannes film festival. Rock also talks about keeping up with WWE programming recently regarding Rey Mysterio winning the World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania 22. "I’m so proud of Rey. He’s a great ambassador for the business and the SmackDown brand," said Rock. "I’ve never seen an athlete able to adjust his style to fit whoever he’s working with in the ring." In regards to a possible return to WWE, he had the following to say: "Just as sure as I whoop ass and have a million dollar smile! Don’t think I’m ever going away for good. I’ll show up when you least expect it!"

:eek: Don't tease me!!!

[DOG LIPS]

Oh Rock, how we miss you so. :(

Come back and kill Cena! :angry:

[ZombieMan]

Here is what I would dooooo.....;)

Vince comes out, puts Triple H and HBK up against each other in the main event, and since he isn't getting along with either one of them. It will be a lumberjack match!!! Match time...Trips and HBK are about to face off, they tie-up then let go and grin and pull off their top shirts to reveal DX shirts. All of the lumberjacks look stunned and don't know what to do. Just when Murdoch, Cade, Haas, and Lita (w/Edge) are thrown DX shirts and then they all clean house on the remaining wrestlers outside of the ring. Edge looks shocked and Lita smacks him and grabs ahold of Haas and kisses him. THE NEW DX FOLKS!!! Cade and Murdoch, yesss, they both have the charisma to do it and if they lost the rednecky type of gimmick. They remind me of a freaked up version of the New Age Outlaws. ;)

[DOG LIPS]

I agree, it's time for a new DX. I don't really think Haas fits though, but who knows. Just please oh please don't let them get Carlito in there. :(

[Valkrine]

can anyone see cena with dx? but not as he is champ?.... and maybe carlito

[ZombieMan]

Well, its looking official to me now about DX. I've heard rumors from a few friends who are working with WWE. Nothing that I would send to a "dirt" site, as it was just "talk". I doubt that we see Billy Gunn and Road Dogg, but I bet that we will see X-Pac again in the near future, with a few new degenerates. Anyhow, this is what is being reported now, and I found this on Lords of Pain...

An advertisement on the official Viewers Choice website says that D-Generation X will be reuniting at the upcoming Raw brand pay-per-view Vengeance. Here is the description of the PPV on the website...

WWE: Vengeance 2006

(Event) DX, the degenerates that started the Attitude Era, will reunite at Vengeance * Are You Ready? Don't miss a minute of the live action as RAW presents WWE's Vengeance, Sunday, June 25th at 8pm ET/5pm PT, live and only on Pay-Per-View. A World Wrestling Entertainment Production. Go to wwe.com for more details. See It All On Viewers Choice!

[DOG LIPS]

Yeeaaaahhh. I hope it's true. X-Pac returning would be sweet, too. I wonder what kind of shape he is in these days though?

[DangerMouse]

I really wish they'd get out of the habit of announcing things like that. It takes all the fun out of seeing it happen.

Same thing goes about when they hire a new well-known wrestler.

I know, I know, don't read it then. Seriously though, WWE has "surprised me" since the NWO brough HBK back.

I wish they'd at least try and keep a secret one in a while.

[DOG LIPS]

Maybe they are just desperate to hype up the PPV so it will sell better. :(

[Rogue]

I think they are desperate for viewers. Don't get me wrong, there's still a few wrestlers I like (Taker, Shelton Benjamin, Mysterio, Cena's cute but he's getting tired) but beyond that.. WWE can't hold my attention anymore.

I used to be an Edgehead until this R Rated Superstar ****. It's ruined Edge for me. I don't like him anymore. Unless there's a change and a big one.. bleh.

Same with Lita, she was my favorite diva for the longest time. Now with this Edge ****, she's become a whore. Put your boobs back in your shirt, throw some cargos on, and get your ass back in that ring. WWE is in desperate need of real female wrestlers and this crap with Lita has just made it worse.

I miss the days of Stone Cold, The Rock, old Taker.. the real Taker. I miss Jericho. :(

WWE has become so boring. I wish some of the old wrestlers would come back and clean house. Hell, I prefer TNA Impact over Raw now. That says a lot. I mean I was a hardcore wrestling fan for years. Vince is losing the majority of his longtime fans because of this crap Creative calls storylines.

Meh. In short, WWE is disappointing me right now.

[ZombieMan]

Same with Lita, she was my favorite diva for the longest time. Now with this Edge ****, she's become a whore. Put your boobs back in your shirt.

Nooo, nooo, thats ok, her boobs can stay where they are at!!! ;)

as is always with WWE, two rights make a wrong.

and if DX is coming back, they need another faction to feud with. because we need more of this

Hahahaha, that video is great. I totally remember all of that so well!!!! :)

[jbailey84]

i agree with zombie about Lita ;)

i wouldnt mind seeing X-Pac come back. i could see Carlito MAYBE being part of the new DX. Cena...no f'n way!!

[Rogue]

I miss classic DX. *sigh*

[jbailey84]

this is pretty random, you know what was pretty funny? when the n.W.o made fun of the 4 horsemen in WCW. lol, that was some great stuff. if anyone can find a video of that, would love to see it!

[ZombieMan]

Randy Orton should be fired, because of all the womanizing stories that I've heard. What a douchebag...............He gives the WWE a bad name.

[DangerMouse]

Like what?

[jbailey84]

he thinks that women should treat him like "Gods gift to women" or something like that, and if they dont he just bad mouths them and stuff. Great wrestler, bad person :(

[RedVader 2004]

Does anyone think Foley will turn heal and be Edges kinda manager. Foley had his best and more brutal hard core matches as a heal. I would love to see Jim Ross back over Joey Stiles. I was thinking way to go Lawler. I am sure he wanted to to get Stiles backa long time for taking Ross's job.

Um one more thing. Can anyone tell me what happened to Johnathan Coachman. Even as annoying as he was i still liked hims better then Stiles.

[RedVader 2004]

Here is my choices if there ever were a new DX. And please bring back Stone Cold. He could show HBK how to get back ata McMahon. It would have been funny if HBK dressed some mystery fellow up as God and it turned out to be Stone Cold.

The New DX.

1 HBK.
2 HHH for i think he will becomea face adventually and Cena a heal.
3 Carlito.
4 RVD.
5 Batista returning surprisingly to raw.

[jbailey84]

well Stone Cold is my choice for "God" but that didnt happen :(

as for Coach, we shall soon find out.

i'd pick Styles over JR anyday. i get tired hearing the same talk over and over. dont get me wrong, JR is great but gets old after a while.

as for DX, we all know its HBK & the Kings of Kings HHH. as for the other members, my picks.

Carlito
RVD
Mickie James

[ZombieMan]

I personally can't see Carlito as a DX member. I could see DX coming out to pick on him though and make fun of him. RVD, I can't see it either...I still say have Cade and Murdoch be in DX and have them be the "new" New Age Outlaws or whatever. That would also get them over pretty heavily. Chris Masters would probably fit into DX somewhere and Lita should most DEFINITELY be in the group, and X-Pac.

[chewie]

I think it's going to be interesting with the events leading up to the reformation. I wonder what else Vince will do to piss off HHH.

[RedVader 2004]

I think it's going to be interesting with the events leading up to the reformation. I wonder what else Vince will do to piss off HHH.
I'd love to see HHH pedagree Vince in the middel of the ring and give him the DX signal. But does anyone think John Cena or Mick Foley will turn heel soon.

[Rogue]

Gah.. they're going to bastardize DX no matter what they do. Too bad the ORIGINAL DX wouldn't reform. :(

Lita's a poor substitute. Victoria or Mickie would fit better.

[jbailey84]

ok i didnt believe this at first because stupid kids post stupid stuff at myspace.com, but this is from rajah.com

There is still a lot of talk that the state of Kentucky will be fining WWE for their blood usage at their Backlash PPV. WWE knowingly violated the state’s rules against blood usage in professional wrestling events, as they were originally put in place due to the brutal matches that took place during IWA shows in the state. Whenever “blood” is used in OVW (which is based in Louisville, KY) they use a fake movie liquid, not the real thing, as is the case at WWE events.

There has also been talk that the state may actually suspend WWE’s promoting license in the state, preventing them to run shows. However, many argue that due to the amount of tax dollars that WWE shows bring in, that would be a case where the state would be cutting their own throat.

For those wondering, this isn’t the first time that this has happened. Vince McMahon was once booked for a match against his daughter Stephanie in the state of Maryland, which was against state rules. WWE officials knew it and asked who to make the check out too before the match even took place. The underlying concept here is that Vince is going to do whatever he wants, regardless the repercussions.

[ZombieMan]

Oh what the hell.

ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW ECW

[DangerMouse]

It's not going to be RVD as he'll be one of the center pieces of the newly (re)formed ECW roster.

The biggest question is, who from WWE is going to go over to ECW?

I have a feeling this whole Foley heel turn has something to do with that. I'm thinking Edge will jump to ECW with Foley as a manager.

[jbailey84]

from rajah.com about ECW Jakks Figures :D

Jakks Pacific has signed Tammy “Sunny” Sytch and Balls Mahoney to deals, allowing them to create their action figures. Expect a number of ECW stars to get deal for action figures.

god, it has been YEARS since i have bought A wrestling figure. i remember when Jakks came out with the first series of Bret Hart, Diesel, Razor Ramon, Goldust, Shawn Michaels, and The Undertaker. man i would kill for those in mint condition ;)

[Wolverine]

Damn that brought back some memories. I even remember when DX made fun of the Corporation.

[RedVader 2004]

I told you guys that Foley would turn heel. Foley is older and not in any wrestling shape. It makes since for him to go heel to help manage Edge to getting a title.

As we well know Foley respects wrestlers who can do the crazy Hardcore stuff like him and beat him in his game.

[jbailey84]

from rajah.com

Bill Goldberg and wife Wanda gave birth to a 5-pound, 8-ounce boy named Gage A.J. Goldberg last night. This the couple's first child and mother and baby are said to be doing well.

well congrats to Goldberg & Mrs. Goldberg :)

[ZombieMan]

Yayyyy, congrats to Goldturd....errrrrrr' I mean Golberg! ;)

[FVD]

Love him or hate him I'll always remain a fan of Goldberg despite his alleged attitude towards the business. I thought that match between him and Lesnar at Wrestlemania was a bit of a waste. I was angry at the fans in the crowd dissing the both of them.

Anyway congratulations to Bill and Wanda.

And I still want to see Santa Slay. ;)

[ZombieMan]

^^^ That movie was horrid, but kind of funny!

[jbailey84]

update on return of DX

"WWE has already sent DX commercials to cable systems around the country and abroad. Shawn Michaels and Triple H are expected to reunite live on TV within the next three weeks. This is expected to be a short reunion during Triple H’s hunt for the title and Shawn Michael’s feud against McMahon.

There isn’t much of a chance of others besides, Hunter and Shawn to rejoin the faction. So as of this report, don’t look for any returning members."


hmm...well thats interesting.

[carnage4u]

no, thats good... i dont want to see xpac ever again..........

[ZombieMan]

I wouldn't mind seeing new members for DX. I hope that its not just HBK and Triple H. I mean, its really cool that they are going to do this, but come on, lets see more members!!!

[jbailey84]

i dont know if anyone has been over to WWE Shop Zone, but they have a really really nice poster of Melina :omg:
i ordered me the poster and also the HHH King of Kings Basketball Jersey :) so i should get it in a week or so

[ZombieMan]

I was REALLY impressed with Raw last night. Its slowly getting better to me...I stood up and cheered when I saw Terry Funk. He's one of my all-time favorite wrestlers!!! I was so excited to see him inside a WWE ring again. :) The Spirit Squad is damn amazing too, they are so energetic and good at what they do. Plus they are annoying heels. Such a great job!

I like those dudes so much that i strap them to a railroad track and back the grave digger monster truck over them for the ultimate 1,2,3. Seriously how can you like the spirit squad. They have to be the worst editions to raw.

As for the new diva on raw. It looked like Chyna and Nicole Bass had a baby. I however can't wait to see who Foley suckers into teh ring next. Sure i don't like Edge but a dirty Cactus Jack is kinda fun.

[chewie]

I like the spirit squad. Those guys look pretty good in the ring.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

but they're annoying as hell.

[Wolverine]

There suppose to be annoying as hell there heels that's what heels do get on your nerves.

[jbailey84]

heels arent really suppose to get on your nerves. heels you just boo and dont like.

[jbailey84]

hey i found this to be really interesting, on thehistoryofwwe.com they have this listed.

WWE @ Dayton, OH - Nutter Center - June 7, 2006
ECW vs. Raw vs. Smackdown!

and for ECW One Night Stand, they have these matches listed.

Chris Benoit vs. Dean Malenko
WWE World Champion John Cena vs. WWE IC Champion Rob Van Dam

Well we all know that RVD isn't IC Champ anymore. doesn't make sense especially how they are advertising Edge Vs Cena for the title at Vengeance.

[carnage4u]

heels are good

spirit squad make me think, What else is on tv right. thats not exactly a good heel.

[FVD]

While the Spirit Squad are annoying as hell I do find them to be a laugh. I still miss Joey Styles' commentary on the Quintet. He was so hilarious. Still I can't wait to see him in ECW.

[ZombieMan]

but they're annoying as hell.

Yup totally, they can be annoying and stupid. Thats why I said they are doing a great job. :) Alot of my friends are like "damnit, these guys are annoying" and I just laugh and say, "thats when you know they are good heels, when you hate them soooooo much". But you have to hand it to them for being pretty good wrestlers for their ages.

[DangerMouse]

I agree 100%. I just hope they don't try and develop their personalities for a while. With these guy, I think it'll kill the stable.

[chewie]

I can see the spirit squad holding the tag team belts for quite a while.

I heard a rumor not to long ago that RVD was going to face JBL at One Night Stand. Now that in itself will actually make more sense than him facing Cena because it would be a contination from last year. Also gotta take into effect the Draft.

[chewie]

According to strong sources within WWE, there has been no formal discussions about holding a "Draft Lottery" for the RAW and SmackDown brands this year.

It is possible it could still take place down the line, but as of now there have been no plans set forth for it to take place and some sources have said it isn't even on the radar of what the company has planned for the next few months.

Although plans are always set to change, if WWE does end up doing a draft lottery, it doesn't appear that they will have big names jumping from brand to brand like they did with last year's involving names like John Cena, Batista, Kurt Angle and others. What fans might end up seeing instead is wrestlers jumping that aren't quite considered "main event" wrestlers yet, but could be given the chance to develop properly if showcased better on a different brand.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

heels are good

spirit squad make me think, What else is on tv right. thats not exactly a good heel.
same here. everytime i see them i change the channel. never even seen a match with them.

[chewie]

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer is reporting that unless plans change very late, WWE will soon announce that the new Extreme Championship Wrestling brand will have a weekly timeslot on the Sci-Fi Channel starting in mid or late June.

This network might seem a strange choice to wrestling fans. However, with WWE programming on the USA Network and that network owned by NBC Universal, it would only make sense that WWE would make efforts to get the new ECW brand on networks under NBC Universal such as the Sci-Fi Channel.

It was also reported by PWInsider.com that according to a strong source with NBC Universal, negotiations for the ECW timeslot were not final and remain ongoing in regards to if ECW will air on Sci-Fi or the USA Network. Either way, an official press release from NBC Universal is expected within the next week and more should be known by that time.

[chewie]

double post

[jbailey84]

yea i think thats strange how they want ECW on the Sci-Fi channel.

[ZombieMan]

Yeah, ECW on the Sci-Fi channel is definitely strange. Its not a Sci-Fi type of program. However, alot of people will be watching.

[FVD]

The Sci-Fi Channel??????? That truly is strange indeed. Oh well as long as it doesn't overshadow Battlestar Galactica I'll be happy. ;)

[insaneMoViEgoer]

as long as its on tv im happy.

[jbailey84]

well with really no hype to Judgment Day, here are my picks.

World Heavyweight Champion Rey Mysterio vs. United States Champion JBL*

King of the Ring Tournament Final Booker T* Vs Lashley

WWE Tag Team Champions MNM vs. Paul London & Brian Kendrick*

Undertaker* vs. The Great Khali

Kurt Angle* vs. Mark Henry

Cruiserweight Champion Gregory Helms* vs. Super Crazy

Chris Benoit* vs. Finlay

Melina* vs. Jillian

[ZombieMan]

Here are my picks...

World Heavyweight Champion Rey Mysterio vs. United States Champion JBL*
(I'm not quite sure. JBL might possibly take it. But its hard to say.)

King of the Ring Tournament Final Booker T Vs Lashley*
(I'm betting that Lashley keeps getting pushed. He's already been main event material before.)

WWE Tag Team Champions MNM vs. Paul London & Brian Kendrick*
(Obviously...)

Undertaker* vs. The Great Khali
(Tough choice here too. They might let Khali win and let Taker' pass the torch some if he would. But highly doubtful.)

Kurt Angle* vs. Mark Henry
(Angle all the way baby!)

Cruiserweight Champion Gregory Helms* vs. Super Crazy
(Though Super Crazy does deserve it. I think that Helms should be back on Raw and go for the Intercontinental title instead of the cruiserweight.)

Chris Benoit vs. Finlay*
(I can see Finlay win and carry this feud on for a little while longer. I hope so anyhow. These two could have some really great matches in WWE!!!)

Melina vs. Jillian*
(I see someone helping Jillian out and taking her in.)

[jbailey84]

well i went 4-4 on my picks. here are the results

Winner and still WWE World Heavyweight Champion: Rey Mysterio

The Great Khali beat Taker

Winner and 2006 King of the Ring: Booker T, Can U Dig That?.................SUCKA!!!!!!!!!!!

Winner via Countout: Mark Henry against Kurt Angle, didn't see that coming

Winner and Still Cruiserweight Champion: Gregory Helms against Super Crazy

Winner: Jillian Hall against Melina

Winner: Chris Benoit against Finlay

Winners and New WWE Tag Team Champions: Brian Kendrick and Paul London against MNM

[jbailey84]

oh my god, WWE is f'n nuts for having RVD Vs John Cena at One Night Stand!! Cena is going to get torn apart!!

[ZombieMan]

Yeah, I hope that Cena gets himself slaughtered. Terry Funk and Tommy Dreamer vs. Mick Foley and Edge is gonna rock too!!!!! GO FUNKER!!!

[SJBKAT]

I am with you guys. The two announced matches sound great thus far, and I am hoping that Benoit vs Malenko happens, too. It will be good to see Dean in the ring again.

What was up with RVD getting the heel angle though? Vegas fans were all for Cena. I am tired of Cena. I thought everybody was.

[jbailey84]

whats dumb about Cena, i guess some fans had a sign that read "We've Cena Nuff" and got them taken up because it was Anti-Cena. boy do i miss the old days of wrestling :(

[carnage4u]

Of course now Cena can proove how "Tough" he is and win

If cena wins a match at a ECW PPV. I will. and i promise to post picturse. Break my tv by throwing it thru a window, and if i can aim right, I will try to hit either a baby, or a cat. whichever is closest.

[ZombieMan]

Sure was good to see my buddy Trevor back on Monday night. He is getting better on the microphone, thats what they have been working on. He told me awhile back that he's getting better at cutting promo's, so thats good. He also impresses me with his jumping skills. He made Kane's chokeslams look REALLY good for a guy Trevor's size. He also pulls off incredible off-the-top-rope moves if you've noticed. I told you guys about that before he came into WWE, but if you have been watching Heat online, then you know what I'm talking about. :)

[SJBKAT]

I will have to pay more attention to Murdoch then. Hope they give him a better push then.

I will tell you what, RVD has no chance at the ECW PPV. As much as I hate Cena and love RVD, he won't win it. It is sad to say I know. It just wouldn't make sense with the ECW TV Show debuting like two days after the PPV. I expect him to get screwed out of it somehow.

And man, HBK getting knee surgery? What is the deal? This sucks. I just hope he gets it soon and he heals fast because this whole DX tease every week is killing me.

of course cena will win at the PPV. that will show us how "tough" he is.

I have to get the PPV though, since WWE BUTCHERED" the dvd release of on night stand last year. It was so disgusted, what they did. I'm still glad i have the original recored.

so i'll watch this PPV, and I'll be disgusted with cena winning, but it donest mater. Diva competion starts soon, and thats my 12 week vacation from watching raw anyway.

I'm really excited for One Night Stand!!! I'm also REALLLLY excited for a WWE reunion. I hear that WWE is interested in bringing back Road Dogg and Billy Gunn under certain circumstances, if they can buy them out of their TNA contracts. I would LOVE to see that happen!

Instead of just HBK and HHH, it looks like a full-blown DX reunion is on the way.

^^^ Yeah, it could be awhile if we were to see Road Dogg and Billy Gunn to come back. I guess that anything can still happen in the good ole' WWE. ;)

Yeah I had heard WWE butchered the ECW One Night Stand DVD. I saw it on PPV and loved it, but then heard about all the changes. Editing out certains things, dubbing over crowd reactions and Sandman's music? What a load. I didn't buy it because of all that.

[FVD]

Oh damn really? I was gonna buy the DVD too. Well I will make sure I record this year's PPV.

As for Raw this week, I thought it was hilarious of Snitsky hitting on Goldust. And is it just me or is Chris Masters losing his physique? He doesn't seem to look as buffed as he was before.

Also finally getting to watch all of Judgment Day the other day, I will say that Benoit vs Finlay was the best match of the PPV IMHO. And having Mercury turning on Nitro and Melina not to mention the both of them getting fired. Melina that silly girl for slapping Teddy like that. She sure had a bad evening. I will sure miss her entrances. ;)

[ZombieMan]

Lets put it this way...There is a HUGE change in plans for Melina, Nitro, and Mercury. Nobody will expect this one... ;)
