WWE 12 - Create an Arena Pics

 

[Upgrade Dave]

CM Punk might need to take a break from these shoots because the verbal exchange between him and Nash was terrible. Also was i the only person that saw the mouse run past ADR when Cena was talking

I don't see how that was Punk's fault. Nash couldn't keep up with him.
Kevin Nash, the guy who made slick work-shoot comment (hell, real shoot comments) and artform, got chewed up on Raw.

I noticed that too. They said this was unscripted. One thing is for certain, Nash cannot fuck with Punk on the mic. At least not 2011 Kevin Nash. That Vinny Vegas,Oz, Diesel line Also that segment went so long I was waiting for this to happen......

He's gotten lazy in his old age and it was exposed. I expect him to do better the next time.

 

[Upgrade Dave]

Nick and Matt Jackson, The Young Bucks (aka former TNA stars Generation Me) were among those who received a tryout yesterday prior to Raw in Los Angeles. The duo worked matches for WWE Producers yesterday afternoon.
As we broke last week in the PWInsider Elite section, WWE is seeking tag teams to bolster their tag division.

A number of other California-based talents were receiving tryouts yesterday, including Scorpio Sky of WSX and PWG fame.


So Punk-Cena I increased the buyrate for Money in the Bank 20% and Punk-Cena II drew a million dollar house for SummerSlam and it's all but over to bring in Kevin Nash and force Alberto Del Rio into the WWE championship. As Punk said, Vince McMahon is a millionaire who should be a billionaire.

 

[AOD]

Also was i the only person that saw the mouse run past ADR when Cena was talking

Yeah, I saw that little white mouse on the left side of the screen hauling ass towards the ramp, lol! WTF... somebody must've brought that damn thing to the arena and it got away from them!

 

[dirtyd]

I don't see how that was Punk's fault. Nash couldn't keep up with him.
Kevin Nash, the guy who made slick work-shoot comment (hell, real shoot comments) and artform, got chewed up on Raw.

That's my whole point. If this were NWO Nash then he really could've ripped into Punk for being nothing more than an overrated tattooed shoot artist who's been there since 06 and it took him facing the most hated person in the business before anyone gave a damn about him. Instead we get "Hey i started the NWO" because now he's fat & happy

 

[ThaBurgerPimp]

wonder if Rock will be speaking in rhymes like Roadblock did in the original GI Joe series

Former .... Former ....

TNA let a promising up and coming (albeit Hardys knockout) tag team like Gen Me slip thru the crack. Wow

[THE DRIZZY]

A tag team division in WWE would be great. I would also like to see Zeke turn heel and form a team with WSM. Zeke is not good at all being a face. His mic work sucks but he was alot better that Lashley on the mic.

 

[c_commander]

More Alicia Fox Pix!!!! I've never seen that tittay and jean one ever b4!

 

[c_commander]

THAT'S Cena's weakness on the mic. That was clearly scripted for him but he didn't change it even though it makes him look bad. The truly great promos of the business (Piper, Flair, Dusty, Rock, Punk now) would have never let that get pass their lips.

Exactly and everytime that it happens it makes Randy Orton look like a dumbass for saying that Cena doesn't go off of a script.And as I'm sure that you noticed Punk covered his ass with this exact thing last nite during his promo when he said that he wasn't and couldn't be mad at Del Rio for cashing in because he had done the exact same thing before himself.

 

[The Pope]

 

[Simply Sickenin']

Just watched Raw .... WTF just happened?

Punk is feuding with HHH and Nash and Cena is feuding with Del Rio.
Punk won the match and the feud and he's the one that out of the title picture. Cena stole the title from Rey, then lose in the rematch with Punk and he gets to go on and feud with ADR for the title. WHAT !!!!

​

 

[Johnny_2_Clips]

PWInsider.com reports that Tough Enough winner Andy Leavine, who is currently training in Florida Championship Wrestling, has been suspended for 30 days due to a violation of WWE's Talent Wellness Program.

Leavine's suspension has yet to be publicly announced by WWE. He is believed to have failed a drug test.

The organization announced earlier today that referee Mike Chioda had been suspended for 30 days due to a violation of their Talent Wellness Program.

Hasn't even made it up to the big shows yet and already got busted... Still think Luke should have won instead.

And the referee must have been rolling up in between matches.

Old Nash vs. Punk would have been fun.
I saw that shot at Punk you took. You know everytime he got a chance, he succeeded, whether it was against Hardy, Rey, and then Cena. WWE wasn't letting him go, he was leaving.

Former .... Former ....

​

I like the Bucks but they need to figure out locker room etiquette. First Rob Van Dam and now Booker T:

From Booker T's twitter:

"A friend RVD made comment few week back..now I no why, i say a small tag team called the YB's did hay shake my hand no! Yes I said SMALL!!!"

"Repost:: To make it clear,I saw two small guys at tv this week,then I past them during the day,they never introduce themselves, and later One of them was leaning on my jacket and still never introduce themselves... No RESPECTnow do u get it."

Later, he was answer a question about a Harlem Heat Reunion. "Now that's an idea, can u see Harlem Heat vs the YB's that would be great."

Exactly and everytime that it happens it makes Randy Orton look like a dumbass for saying that Cena doesn't go off of a script.And as I'm sure that you noticed Punk covered his ass with this exact thing last nite during his promo when he said that he wasn't and couldn't be mad at Del Rio for cashing in because he had done the exact same thing before himself.

That's what a good promo does. Cena has shown he can be one but he just won't do it.

Just watched Raw .... WTF just happened?

Punk is feuding with HHH and Nash and Cena is feuding with Del Rio.
Punk won the match and the feud and he's the one that out of the title picture. Cena stole the title from Rey, then lose in the rematch with Punk and he gets to go on and feud with ADR for the title. WHAT !!!!

​

Punk and Cena was the hottest thing going and they killed it to bring back Kevin Nash, a midcarder in TNA at best, and push ADR, who the Raw audience is still just getting into.
So we understand that Vince just pulled himself off tv but he's still in control. They wanted ADR in the main event for SummerSlam and they forced it in.

Hasn't even made it up to the big shows yet and already got busted... Still think Luke should have won instead.

And the referee must have been rolling up in between matches.

What the fuck with Andy?
Didn't like Luke. Seemed to think he deserved it and stopped working on earning it. Hopefully, he'll learn from this and he needs to get his lifestyle in order now. The path of Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels is not the path anyone wants to walk.

I like them Yound Bucks but they need to get that in order.I didn't really take it to serious when RVD said it but this is confirmation.And the WWE locker room is infamous for his politics and how easy it is for a guy to get heat and then buried.If they don't get all they need to do is ask Paul London or Brian Kendrick who I'm sure will be able to tell them.

Millionaire who should be a billionaire.Vince is both the company's biggest asset and its biggest liability.No way that the WWE would be where they are without him but at the same time his inability to stay on path and his need to change things up screws this company over time and time again.Dave Lagana notes frequently how a plan would be in place at 9 am on Monday and by 3 it has been completely changed because of Vince.
And while we keep bringing up Punk-Cena they also fucked up Orton-Christian.It would have made alot more sense if somehow Christian gets the win at SummerSlam allowing Orton to continue his chase of the title,bringing some credibility to Christian that they've ruined over the last 3 months and letting Sheamus-Henry continue just a bit longer.
So now there is Punk is fighting a older guy who a decent portion of the audience doesn't know,Christian is stuck doing God knows what and Sheamus is in the same position as Christian.

Ric Flair is still paying the price for his path and his lifestyle which is why he is relegated to slumming in TNA instead of being comfortably retired off of all the money he has made.

Is that what happened to Kendrick?

It makes sense because him and Zeke were getting a HBK/Diesel size push of Smackdown, then out of no where they were broken up, Kendrick went to Raw, and was shortly released after.

Who did he piss off?

​

Actually London got in trouble for smiling during Vince's walk of shame before his limo exploded.That was the beginning of the end for him even though he and Kendrick were being misused from the moment that they got on Raw.I lumped Kendrick in with him since they were tag partners and being that they both have spent alot of time in Cali wrestling they are both people that the Bucks could talk to and get advice from in regards to the WWE.I'm not sure what exactly got Kendrick fired though the Wellness policy probably had something to do with it.He did not want to give up his weed which pissed off some higher ups in the company.

Glad you brought that up. While having Christian win the way he did was clever, it played into the image that he can't beat Randy Orton. Since they were going to give that a long run and have two title switches, it would have been better for Christian to pin Orton, even by cheating, so at least he can say he beat the guy. Then Christian is legit and when he goes off to feud with Sheamus, it gives Sheamus a chance to beat a real top guy. How difficult would that have been? Super Orton isn't any better than Super Cena.


Talking about guys cutting stupid promos, who wrote that shit Edge said to Chris at SummerSlam? Dude hid behind his "wife" when he was World champ and chasing it. He cashed in two MitBs after the champ had had brutal cage matches.

The Young Bucks probably need to call Sinclair and see if they can get into ROH, the piling on continues

Goldust gave his thoughts about the Young Bucks on his twitter:

"As booker says.....better show some respect when in the locker room, there are good teachers here that know more than you young bucks....Just a reminder....if trying out for wwe....extend your hand,be polite and respectfull and do what your told. You dont have to like the golden one, but you will respect my knowledge of the business....jfyi"



They responded appropriately

Matt Jackson -

"Somewhere, somehow, there is a "tell me he didn't just say that?" joke that needs to be told. I love you, wrestling."

"Nothin' but love & respect for all my peers in the business. Hope everyone makes their own decision based on their own experiences."

Nick Jackson -

"I respect everyone in the business even if they have bad words about me. God bless them all. Thx to all the loyal fans that support us!"

but their brother should shut the fuck up

Their brother, Malachi, had a lot to say about Booker T's comments

"sounds like @BookerT5x is a little 12 year old girl on his young buck rant."
"These vets such as @therealrvd and @BookerT5x are jealous of the young bucks cause they cant do half what bucks can do in the ring."
"I can't believe @MattJackson13 and @NickJacksonYB didn't say hi to @BookerT5x ! #whatisthishighschool ?"
"@RRWWE (Ricardo Rodriguez) Booker t is mad cause they supposedly didn't say hi to him so @BookerT5x is trashing the bucks."
"I love when vets say stuff bout the young bucks. All they're doing is getting them more popular :O @BookerT5x"
"I didn't shake the hand of someone at work today. The person then tweeted bout how disrespectful I was being @BookerT5x #getoveryourego"
"@BookerT5x that's weird you and rvd are the only ones out of hundreds of workers that don't like the bucks. And btw they've already made it.

Yes he did and he won and kept his titles under suspicious circumstances but never on anything as bad as a DQ and he was never booked to look as weak against an opponent as Christian was.Besides the WWE knows that most of the audience forgets pretty easily.Otherwise everybody would be asking how Sheamus and HHH can just past each other without coming to blows or why the Miz was on the SummerSlam card considering that he lost a match to Cena that was supposed to ban him from the Staples Center.

They definitely need to tell their brother to shut the fuck up.What they did was professional and gives them the chance to hopefully make amends if they get another opportunity.What their brother is doing is not only fucking up this shot but the next couple of shots with the WWE for them as well.The WWE is fickle as hell and they can afford to be so everybody involved with them needs to toe the line so that they can get in.

By the way TNA is a fucking clusterfuck.The put the tag belts on Mexican America.Right now the only good thing about them is Rosita's sexy ass and yet TNA took the belt off of Beer Money who are over and put them on a group that people can't stand(and not in a good way either). A tag team that doesn't wrestle very well together,can't cut a good promo,come off as corny and bush league and without a viable challenger unless they're just gonna put the belts right back on Beer Money.The British Invasion would have been a better choice hell even pull a WWE move and put the belts on Aries and Shelley.

CM Punk might need to take a break from these shoots because the verbal exchange between him and Nash was terrible. Also was i the only person that saw the mouse run past ADR when Cena was talking

I pray to retlaW that they don't have Kevin Nash wrestling.
This dude only has 3 moves, 2 less than John Cena.

1) Punch
2) Kick
3) Powerbomb

That's it, and I'm not even exaggerating

Major Backstage Update: Kevin Nash & WWE

Source: PWInsider.com

– Kevin Nash will be at RAW this Monday and he is expected to be a regular character going forward. He will be doing a program with CM Punk which will culminate in the two meeting in the ring. This is supposed to give Punk a major name to work with that would put him over.

– Nash did not get a big reaction coming out on RAW, and the general feeling backstage is that WWE needed to do a better job explaining to the current generation of fans who he was. This was originally not a concern because of the much bigger reaction Nash got at the Royal Rumble.

Breaking News: Matt Hardy Fired From TNA Wrestling

The following is a new article from celebrity-gossip website TMZ.com:

Matt Hardy OUT Of TNA Following DWI Arrest

Matt Hardy’s arrest today in North Carolina has had immediate repercussions — he’s been DROPPED from TNA.

A rep for TNA tells TMZ, “TNA today released Impact Wrestling star Matt Hardy from its roster. Hardy was already under suspension from the company.”

As TMZ first reported, Hardy was arrested after his Corvette smashed into a tree this afternoon. He was not injured.

NoDQ.com > TNA > Jeff Hardy Has New Custom Championship Belt Made
Posted by Dave Mitchell on 08/19/2011 at 11:37 AM

TNA star Jeff Hardy recently had another custom championship belt created by the Top Rope Belts company.

Jeff Hardy's new Omega Enigmatic championship belt is similar to the Immortal Championship belt that he had made up later yea.

According to the folks over at Top Rope Belts, the belt is designed so so that when he comes out onto a dark stage and his music plays, the eyes and mouth on the belt light up and flash to the music.

Jeff is allowing Top Rope belts to sell copies of the belt to fans.

No word yet on when Jeff Hardy or his brother Matt are expected to return to television. The Hardy Boyz denied recent reports that TNA did not want them to bring them back unless they both entered rehabilitation programs. Matt Hardy wrote on Twitter this week that he is now ready to return to the ring and is about to start training for his return. Whether TNA is ready to bring them remains to be seen.

- Matt Hardy wrote the following on Twitter about getting ready to return to the ring: "I'm ready.. It's time for me to get back in the ring. I'm gonna train my ass off & get ready for the day-wherever it may be. Preach."

oh well, there's always New Japan, Matt

Mark Henry was a beast!

true Mark Henry has been a fucking beast for the past 2-3 months but now that he's about to do this feud with Orton I'm curious as to what will be the outcome of their title match. For as dominant as Mark Henry has been throughout his career he has only had 2 title reigns, THE ECW title, and the European title.

Mark Henry is going to get the same treatment with Orton that Umaga got with Cena.Allow him to look strong but lose and then go right back into the midcard.They're only trying to get Orton more over and look stronger and not trying to elevate Henry any more which is basically what they did with Christian.

Major Backstage Update: Kevin Nash & WWE

1. Most of the little Jimmy's weren't alive when the NWO was running shit, so why they're surpised that people don't know Nash is beyond me.

2. Speaking of the Royal Rumble and "putting Punk over," does anyone remember that Punk was the best part of the last TWO rumbles. Getting on the mic and talking shit in between eliminating people and using the New Nexus to take people out for him .... brilliant.

3. I might not respect Nash as a wrestle anymore (he might be the one of the most injury prone people in the business right now) , but you have to respect his business sense. When he left TNA people were bugging because he was a top guy, but he saw the bigger picture coming to light. He saw the slow train coming for TNA and he saw HHH gathering power in the WWE. He set himself up for a nice paycheck. I just hope he doesn't bury Punk in the process, while is something he kinda known for doing to younger guys.

Breaking News: Matt Hardy Fired From TNA Wrestling

I was just about to ask if Jefro and Matthew were still signed to TNA. Guess not. Two word careers ..... Wasted Talent ​

Mark Henry is going to get the same treatment with Orton that Umaga got with Cena.Allow him to look strong but lose and then go right back into the midcard.They're only trying to get Orton more over and look stronger and not trying to elevate Henry any more which is basically what they did with Christian.

And this is why WWE constantly fails. Even if Henry picks a win, (which I highly doubt will happen) Orton will eventually come back. Feuds in the WWE all end with the good guy winning. Even worst, I fully expect that they will use Henry in some capacity to keep the Christian storyline going. WWE using a black man in the main event .... we can dream, but we live in the real world ​
