  1. Hunico in trouble?

    Regal could easily be ribbing the internet to see what conclusions are drawn. If something really did happen though, I could see it going unreported, unless it's a Wellness Policy violation since the WWE generally makes public announcements. Stuff like fighting in a bar or something...

  2. Not To Be Heartless..

    I thought it was too soon, then again, it was a heart attack and not open heart surgery with a bypass, which would require a much longer lay off. Being live TV, I don't know what kind of stress it creates, if any. After all, he's been at this for so long, it may be like second nature to him...

  3. If You Had To Kill Either the World, IC, or US Title...

    I'd say keep the brand split as it is, since people appear on both shows now. Reality is that the WWE under Vince has almost always had 2 to 3 separate rosters that would tour house shows. It's a marketing gimmick, which is fine. Maybe the WWE champ appears on Smackdown, maybe he doesn't...

  4. If Jesse Venutra Never Retired...

    I think he would have followed the same path, just a slightly different time table. He might have been able to pull off a big Wrestlemania match, maybe not main event level though. I think he still would have gone the Hollywood path, and had the same level of mixed success. Bit roles in a...

  5. If You Had To Kill Either the World, IC, or US Title...

    Kill the World Heavyweight Championship. As much as I get the marketing and economics behind the idea, I think it kills the kayfabe prestige of the idea of a world title by having two since you'll never have enough top level talent to create two separate world title programs. I'd probably...

  6. Chris Jericho Addresses Possible Retirement, Says “WWE Lives In Its Own Worldâ€￾ Read

    Re: Chris Jericho Addresses Possible Retirement, Says “WWE Lives In Its Own Worldâ€￾ R The WWE has a lot of youth on their roster. That's why they need a Jericho, to help guys like Ziggler who the WWE is pushing towards a more prominent position how to make the most of the opportunity...

  7. Ryder Not Happy With WWE?

    Looking at last night's match, now one can legitimately argue that they are burying Ryder. Not due to the loss, though they booked it so that he didn't even try to fight his way out of a submission. It's the way they not only ridiculed his attitude regarding the issues over his interviews...

  8. Chris Jericho Addresses Possible Retirement, Says “WWE Lives In Its Own Worldâ€￾ Read

    Re: Chris Jericho Addresses Possible Retirement, Says “WWE Lives In Its Own Worldâ€￾ R It's good for Jericho to act on a future away from wrestling. How many guys in the business have said they do it not just because they love it, but because they believe it's all they are capable of doing...

  9. Ryder Not Happy With WWE?

    I don't agree with that at all. If they wanted to be rid of him, they could have told him to stay off YouTube entirely. They could have kept him off TV completely, kept him off the road and house shows. They could have kept him at home without any mention on WWE programming, their website...

  10. Major Creative Shakeup

    The IWC moniker still makes me laugh. Wresting fans are able to discern what they like or don't like. I don't see an issue with those that express being bored, tired, or uninterested in certain wrestlers, programs, etc. You either like it or you don't. It's all opinion. And I think it's...

  11. Backstage News on The Rock vs. John Cena Rematch, The Rock on RAW Soon?

    If Cena / Rock is booked again for Wrestlemania, I'd watch it. I thought that match was decent enough, and while Rock hasn't been wrestling over the last few years, I think he still has plenty left. The guy was a fantastic entertainer in the ring, not a technician, but a fantastic worker. I...

  12. Ryback addresses Goldberg comparison

    In a way, it's rather sad. This is what any promoter would love to hear, any employer for that matter. But there have been wrestlers that spoke of the basic promoter / wrestler relationship. I believe Road Warrior Animal once said that wrestlers are commodities. He's not the only one to...

  13. Interesting question I pose

    It wouldn't happen because the kid wouldn't know anyone on that roster, much less care enough to make a sign.

  14. Former Writer on Friction Between Cena & Vince

    At his physical prime, I would say Cena's selling had some very good points and some weaknesses. When he was a young heel, the guy would bump like crazy. Physically, I don't think he can really do that as much anymore. Top baby faces aren't generally booked to be as giving as heels as far as...

  15. Heat on Edge?

    I don't know if I would call this heat. Assuming this story is true, that Edge was offered a Legends contract deal and he declined it, I could see management being annoyed that he didn't sign. I can also see them being annoyed that he'd take bookings to do appearances for any other...

  16. Feed Me A Title!

    So there's a saying that often the best works are a shoot. The idea that these characters have something to do with the real life wrestlers and their lives making them more convincing or more connected and invested in their characters makes sense. I totally see where "Feed me more!" comes...

  17. Feed Me A Title!

    If the intent is to keep the winning streak going and put the title on Ryback, I would not have minded them unleashing this as a sort of surprise on the next PPV. That seems to be part of the Ryback gimmick is sending guys out for matches with no idea that Ryback is coming down to destroy them...

  18. WWE Considering Instant Replays

    Kinda reminds me of when they brought in Mr. T to be their special enforcer referee that would come down when things got out of hand, to keep the heel managers from pulling a fast one. Wrestling is still wrestling and the guys that get booed for pulling cheap victories will still do it. That's...

  19. Just quite possibly watched the worst match ever ....

    The dreaded cup of iced soda to the face was a great move. The greatness came from guys like Al Snow or Foley being willing to sell it. The shit is silly, but it's supposed to be. A big part of wrestling's charm to me is that you have or had a lot of guys willing to make damn fools of...

  20. John Cena debuting new look at NOC

    Actually nobody knows that or could know that except for Cena or those close to him. For the rest of the world, it's purely speculation. It may be quite likely that the WWE sees it as another opportunity to gain positive publicity, especially having their top guy wear pink. But unless his...
