Re: WWE Tidbits, Rumours & General Discussion

Wasn't the reason Brock Lesnar can't do alot of appearances is because of the illness he came down with which caused him to leave UFC and vacate the title right?

Exactly, and additionally, he can't stand the WWE road schedule.

With his illness anyway, it'd be hard to do the road schedule.

Actually, Brock got his ass beat for the title.

Understood. Looking back at his fight with Carwin he certainly wasn't the same fighter that pummeled Mir. Often wondered how Lesnar would have held up if he was 100%. However, Cain is a fucking beast!

Re: WWE Tidbits, Rumours & General Discussion

True Cain is pretty damn good. But Lesnar was showing he could be a force in UFC, it sucks that happen to him. Just like I believe Angle could have went to the Olympics this year and for sure bring the gold home, but he hurt himself.

Re: WWE Tidbits, Rumours & General Discussion

- Tensai is over as a babyface in his new dancing gimmick. Tensai received a big pop at last night's live event in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He defeated Alex Riley in a dance contest before beating him in a normal match. Riley then demanded a rematch but got squashed in under 30 seconds. Tensai danced after the match as the crowd cheered for him.

Congragulations Tensai... I think

Re: WWE Tidbits, Rumours & General Discussion

I really don't know what to say about Albert. If he gets a push it may go the way of the Funkasaurus. A few squahes then off television except to job.

Re: WWE Tidbits, Rumours & General Discussion

I personally think The Funkasaurus gimmick is lame as hell. And everyone here knows it. So for them to do it with Tensai is fucking dumb. I understand the fans pop for it so WWE is gonna do it, but come on now. Good god.

I enjoyed The Funkasaurus during his first few months. Probably until around after Wrestlemania (other than the night after when he was over as shit with the fans) but other than that, he was fine up until around May. Then I just lost all interest in him.

Still love the Funkadactyls though....

Re: WWE Tidbits, Rumours & General Discussion

I wasn't a big fan of the Funkasaurus gimmick from the get go. Not that it wasn't entertaining to begin with, but it just seemed like such a dead end gimmick for a guy with so much potential.

A low and behold, one year later and Brodus hasn't done jack in months.

Re: WWE Tidbits, Rumours & General Discussion

Obviously the gimmick was only a "works for a few months" gimmick. But of course wwe always has to appeal to kids so they kept it going way longer than they should have. Now Tensai who was supposed to be a wwe title contender is doing the same thing. Jesus

Re: WWE Tidbits, Rumours & General Discussion

I hate the "they had to appeal to the kids" argument. Fuck, I loved the Funkasaurus! They should've really turned things around for him after the Punk shoot on him though instead of having him say it was his destiny to shuck and jive or whatever. I like the bit of aggression he showed.

Anyway, watched Swagger's return. Awesome, pumped he's back but did anyone else picture him as a face when he came back? Kinda disappointed on that front since it would've been a nice change but still he rocked the return!

Re: WWE Tidbits, Rumours & General Discussion

I think they were going to but the recent Del Rio & Miz turns probably made them decide to keep him heel. His hair do is so goofy.
