Re: WWE Tidbits, Rumours & General Discussion

Swagger could have done with being face, but look at the faces in the main event/upper mid card right now:

The Rock, John Cena, Randy Orton, Ryback, Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, The Miz, Chris Jericho

Swagger would have been dead in the water.

- Word is that one of the bigger feuds this coming summer and fall will be Punk vs. Brock Lesnar, which could suggest that Brock is turning babyface eventually.

Turning Brock babyface would be a terrible idea.

That feud would be absolutely immense!

- The TNA lawsuit was the reason WWE held off on signing indy worker El Generico. WWE was looking to sign him last June, but had to put those plans on hold when they found out he had previously wrestled two tryout matches for TNA.





Even though Generico was never under contract with TNA, WWE wanted to be extra careful and stay away from a wrestler that TNA had looked at until the lawsuit was settled. It's believed that WWE reached out to Generico around the same time that they contacted Ric Flair, who had the same issue with the TNA lawsuit.





Generico is now training at WWE developmental in Tampa and it's expected that he will eventually debut with a different gimimck.

Newly signed WWE developmental star El Generico made his first appearance for WWE NXT at Wednesday night's live event from Orlando, Florida. While Generico did not wrestle, he did make an appearance during Brodus Clay's match against Conor O'Brien. After Clay defeated O'Brien, Generico joined Clay and NXT Diva Anya as the 3 danced in the ring. After much speculation as to whether Generico would be keeping his "masked luchador" gimmick that he made famous on the indy scene, we can confirm that he appeared as his beloved El Generico character, with his standard black and red mask, cape and black trunks.

So he's already appearing on NXT! Wonder when we are gonna see him on tv.

It shouldn't be too much longer. If WWE went through all that to get him, then they should be using him soon.

Anyway, anyone have any idea who Lesnar is facing in Wrestlemania? I'm thinking CM Punk.

Re: WWE Tidbits, Rumours & General Discussion

They are saying it maybe will be Rock at Summerslam, or maybe at Wrestlemania, but I doubt that since it's gonna be Cena. Maybe Taker-Brock for the streak?

Re: WWE Tidbits, Rumours & General Discussion

I've read the original plans were to have Punk and Taker for the streak, but The Undertake is in really rough shape and may not make Mania this year. I would have loved to see Punk vs Taker, but Punk vs Lesnar should still be good, if it happens. Other than that, I think I read maybe HHH vs. Lesnar could be a option, but who really wants to see that again, right? Lol.

Punk Vs Lesnar would be good. I rather see Taker-Lesnar.

I'm going to get pounced like I usually do, but the last thing I want to see is Punk become another victim of the streak.

Also if Undertaker can barely work one match a year he needs to hang up his boots and call it a day.

I dont want to see Punk become another victim in the streak either. I wanna see him break it!

- WWE Champion The Rock has committed to working next year's WrestleMania 30 event. Rock's current run is expected to end in April as he will be heading off to Hungary and Croatia to film Hercules.

Well we have Rock for another "year" it looks like. I wonder what his WM XXX storyline will be
