'Preciate this especially the Japanese bouts. The American bouts I've mostly seen and they were all great (Roode vs Storm at BFG belongs on the list).
 
I used to have that complaint and still do to an extent but the World title runs of Booker and Mark Henry have calmed me a little.

A little.

No matter how much vince hates it, the rock aint no musclehead cracker. The Rock brings in more ppl in limited appearance than his musclehead honkies
 
This is what I hate about the PG WWE...Why is Del Rio out slapping hands and kissing up to the crowd? He should be more like an Orton/Jake Roberts type face...It's not realistic for him to go from being a prick to a loveable guy all in a few weeks. The character development sucks. Remember when The Rock went face (the first REAL run as THE ROCK as a face)? The only thing that really changed were the opponents....hell, he even cheated against heels.
 
I like how when Ryback speared Dean Ambrose Michael Cole and JBL called it everything but a spear.

Right. The move has two names: the spear and the Gore and only one guy calls it "The Gore".

You nailed it. We all complain about how they dont know how to push heels but they mess up faces too. That match with Show was the perfect way to get over a face turn including the title celebration but they always overdo it and make all their faces generic as hell.

GOSSIP SITE FALLS FOR TNA STORYLINE
by Mike Johnson @ 12:56 PM on 1/19/2013

Gossip writer Perez Hilton, despite once appearing on Monday Night Raw, apparently has no idea how professional wrestling works.
Yesterday, Hilton published a video of Bully Ray from his "bachelor party" at Rick's Cabaret in New York City and proceeded to tear Ray apart for being stupid enough to be photographed with a topless dancer after becoming engaged to Brooke Hogan.

Yes, seriously.

:smh::lol:

Yes. They did the same thing with Sheamus last year by making him Cena lite.

A person has to be a special kind of idiot to fall for a TNA storyline.
 
Are you doubting me or don't think Kamala is deserving?





Having Zig-Zag lose to Cena AGAIN makes no sense either but that's how they do.

Did Broadus really say "I shuck and jive because I want to?":smh: He lost but it was the best match he's had in months.

I loved the whole Flair segment except the beating up of Cesaro, that was pointless. He needs to kick the shit out of Miz on Raw next week.

So once again Ziggler uses his entire arsenal and can't beat Cena, yet Cena hits 1 FU and Ziggler is knocked out cold:smh:

Whoever wrote that line for Clay should've been fired asap.

I hated that Flair/Miz segment and thought Cesaro was the only bright spot.

I have to give Rock's concert a B- and the Vickie song is the only thing keeping me from giving it an F, i think they ran out of time since it was already well past 10 when he came out.

They don't make wrestlers like The Rock and Stone Cold anymore. Those two guys could be heels or faces and do the exact same things and the crowd still loves them. And yeah, the only shit that changes is who they beef with.

Damn shame. They had another chance to use Cena to elevate another guy and they chose to not do it. If he wins the Rumble on top of this AND beats the Rock, any chance he had of winning over more of the audience will be dead.

Whoever wrote that line for Clay should've been fired asap.


Broadus shouldn't have said it at all. His being mad at all made no sense. Punk put you over in one sentence better than WWE Creative has done in a year, where's the heat? At least he got a competitive match out of it but that was just written wrong and he should have said something.

I hated that Flair/Miz segment and thought Cesaro was the only bright spot.


I thought Cesaro was the part that made it good.
I still don't get turning Miz though. If they had to turn another heel, Dolph actually has a very fan friendly style.

I have to give Rock's concert a B- and the Vickie song is the only thing keeping me from giving it an F, i think they ran out of time since it was already well past 10 when he came out.

Didn't like it at all until Punk came out. I'm way over Rock concerts.

They don't make wrestlers like The Rock and Stone Cold anymore. Those two guys could be heels or faces and do the exact same things and the crowd still loves them. And yeah, the only shit that changes is who they beef with.

The pattern is clear: when Vince gets his hands on guys he fucks them up. Not just current guys like ADR and Miz but going back to John Morrison and way back to Diesel. I thought Rock and Stone Cold lost some steam as faces but they were still close to their heel personas. If he really paid attention to the business outside his own head, Vince and his people (HHH excepted) would know you could turn guys without making them bitches, the Road Warriors are the best example.

It's obvious that they don't care. Even last year when Cena supposedly had this horrible year they continually allowed him to go over such as the match with Brock who he had no business beating or via circumstance. Other than the match with the Rock Cena never suffered a clean defeat.

I get that he was mad at the negative thing that Punk mentioned about him but his addressing of the issue made him look dumb as hell.


I thought Cesaro was the part that made it good.

Cesaro's comments to Flair had an edge to them and they seem to be tweaking his stance to being more anti American as opposed to anti America.

Good point and it worked so well that the NWA had them destroy one of the biggest faces in the company and the crowd still refused to turn on them.
The last people that the WWE got right in that regard was Los Guerreros particularly Eddie who didn't change his antics once the fans started cheering for him.

Yep. I excused the Brock win because of Brock's past history but in his "worst year", he still beat everyone, oh except John Laurinaitis:hmm:.

:yes:
They beat the shit out of Sting, Luger, the Midnight Express and fucked up Dusty real bad and still people cheered and they ended up turning them back.
 
Seeing as how Cena used to get constantly beat up and bullied by Lesnar in his early Thug Life career I expected their 2012 match to be much better. I also expected Lesnar to still be dominant. They truly fucked up a feud that could've been very epic leading into 2013 by letting Cena "Superman" his way past Lesnar.:smh:

Rock lost steam as a face in August of 02 as the fans were clearly behind Lesnar, but in a smart move by Rock (since i don't think Vince had anything to do with it) we got "Hollywood Rock" which reignited his popularity imo. As for Austin he was clearly at the end of his rope and turning him was out of the question since he was on his way out anyway. I still say Vince publicly aligning himself with any wrestler is bad news for them since fans will automatically shit on them (Mcintyre). Vince needs to let HHH take over since he has a better mind for the business at this point, and unlike Vince HHH has stated numerous times he wants to re-establish the tag team division and get more women wrestlers and cut out the useless eye candy.

Based on last week's pull apart it appears that Finley is back working with the company and Sara Del Ray was signed in order to train the females so hopefully the divas will improve. There are some good looking indy female wrestlers like Cheerleader Melissa and Mia Yim who they should sign and as for the tag division they've failed thus far to push the Usos who are excellent and while I like the Rhodes Scholars they still feel like singles wrestlers that they forced together. The Briscoes and Young Bucks could both do good things with the company. Maybe El Generico in tandem with somebody as well.
Personally I hated the Free At Last ending to the Rock's promo and the Shield beatdown was predictable.

Those are all good names and if they're smart they'll sign them, but i have a feeling Vince isn't out of his perverted old man phase just yet. I could've done without the free at last ending but i don't think it hurt what was already a very effective promo, Rock & Punk are constantly showing everyone how great a feud can be if the 2 involved know how to create drama and have good mic skills. As for the Shield beating i loved it since it's a nice rub for those guys, and Rock was more than willing to let his cousin whoop his ass:lol:

But christ all mighty was Cena high or what tonight? That has to be one of the worst promos any wrestler has ever cut and im including Ken Pantera needing 50 takes to do a backstage promo, hell that pre rumble brawl was pathetic and the fans couldn't have cared less:smh:

I don't know what was going on but that was the worst promo he's done. Nothing about that was good or funny. And that came from the face of the company. Promos like that from a lesser wrestler would lead to whatever push they had coming been nixed and them dropping further down on the card.

I'm with you on Vince. I think he really overestimates how much of a "rub" he can give. But then with Drew, just as he was getting there and fans were taking him seriously, they decided to bury him.

Yeah, Fit's back.
I don't see them hiring Melissa. She's been out there a while and they could have had her if they wanted her. Yim might get the call though.
I've liked seeing them push the Usos but what momentum the tag division had is gone and the Bryan/Kane team and that whole angle is halfway over the shark at this point. I wouldn't want them to bring in the Bucks or the Briscoes until they have a solid plan for how they will be used.

I'm over the Rock's act but when he and Punk get together, he turns it up a notch. They look like they should be the main event for Mania, not the Rumble.
Cena's promos are getting worse but then he's just floating around now that he's through beating Dolph's ass like a snare drum. Since he has no program and has already announced he was entering the Rumble, they should have just given him the night off.
 
ANOTHER TNA DEPARTURE
by Mike Johnson @ 11:05 AM on 1/23/2013

PWInsider.com has confirmed that Kid Kash is gone from TNA. Kash had a really strong run, when he was used, in the X-Division with his most recent run and of late, had been mostly helping out in TNA developmental Ohio Valley Wrestling

I've liked everything Kash has done since he came back to TNA. He's probably the youngest old school guy in wrestling and just with his promos and "not trying to be cool, just an asshole" heel schtick, he's been great. I hope they keep him around as a producer and/or trainer for the many young guys they have under contract.
 
It's a damn shame that in just 3 weeks Rock & Punk completely shitted on the year long build up of Rock vs Cena. I know Cena has to be pissed since he knows he can't take it back, but Punk was smart enough to know this was his biggest opportunity and he wasn't going to screw it up. I think Punk wins somehow since he's eaten about 3 Rock Bottoms off camera, plus i think Lesnar might interfere.

Punk is clearly the best person on the mic right now in WWE, hell he doesn't even need Heyman's help I guess thats why they have him carry the belt, I'll rather see Punk as champ rather than WWE "hand" Rock the title for about 2 months before they give it back to Super Cena at Mania.
 
I keep trying to watch TNA...and it just doesn't do it for me. The Aces & Eights thing is corny...WWE doesn't do much for me anymore, Punk, Rock and Cesaro have been entertaining but it's just missing something...Del Rio's face push is making me gag...all that hand slapping and shit...Did we even get a promo from him saying to the fans that he was "wrong" about them or something? Have the dude do an in depth interview with JR where he talks about his wrestling heritage and wanting to make his people proud...SOMETHING to make that shit make sense.
 
Only thing I look forward to in TNA is the knockouts. That Aces crap has had the weakest payoffs EVER with all the curtain jerkers and now big fat retired Taz. Its like when Virgil joined the NWO....EVERY WEEK.

Me too bro. Every once in awhile i'll check it out to see has it progressed. And TNA just comes off so corny to me. I don't take their wrestlers serious either. There's no dominant wrestler...everyone is on the same playing field which I guess some may like but man that program just sucks. I'd love to see some of those guys in WWE because they're being wasted over there. When I seen Bubba Ray and Hulk's daughter I just gave up. :lol: Aces of 8 is the worst shit i've ever seen in my life in regards to factions.

Initially, I was iffy on Del Rio being a face and while I think he's a better heel he's getting a better reaction from the crowd as a face for whatever reason. For the first time in his stay in the WWE he's actually relevant.

It's a damn shame that in just 3 weeks Rock & Punk completely shitted on the year long build up of Rock vs Cena.

Personally as of right now I was more amped to see Rock vs Cena then I am Rock vs Punk. I think Cena did to the best of his capabilities last year and if he had the chance again he probably would sell that match exactly like he did last year. I don't think he should regret anything. Punk's a better wrestler and has better mic skills then him. He can't be that delusional to see otherwise.

And i'll always feel Cena when he's out there has one hand behind his back having to play up to that character he's made for himself.

:lol: You're not lying. TNA should've hired Heyman when they had the chance.

So you think Cena did his best last year but then you say he's basically holding back? Cena wet the bed last year and imo wasn't ready for the legit big time, HBK carried him through their feud but going against Rock is a whole different ball game.

You're the only person i know who was hyped to see that match, because the majority of fans just wanted it to be over after a full year of shitty build-up and manufactured material for Cena (Rock wrist notes:smh:). Rock & Punk has a lot of people hyped and it's because neither one tried to one up the other, which is the main reason why Rock vs Cena was a complete failure.
