THE WRESTLING THREAD: HHH KEEPS DOING HHH THINGS.....
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
@ the TNA fans for shitting all over the Samoan chick that won Gut Check.
They were loud but that only helped with Danny Davis. He liked that she got such a loud reaction.
I thought they should have picked Ivelisse and brought Tapa back later but they can just do it in reverse except put Velez in A&8s.
Bully Ray "Let that stupid bitch cry!"
If they give him a little leash on the mic (not too much), Ray will be another in a long line of great heel champions for TNA.
What bums? Brisco and Bischoff are young guys who need to be protected and hidden. They used them right last night: send them out to get bounced around so that it's not always DOC and Knuxx and Devon getting beaten up.
She should have. We all saw Bully flipping but Brooke would have given them something new to work with.
Solid show overall. I think they should have had Parks do his Abyss thing to beat Ryan and Kenny King is good but he should be in a tag team right now.
I had no idea what they were going to with Angle and Brisco and they found a way to make that entertaining.
Best Velvet match in a long time but that was more because Gail was working her ass off.
They should do Aries/Roode vs Bad Influence for the next couple months and put Joe and Magnus back together.
CM Punk just achieved Mid-South 80's era level heat.
As far as storylines go Paul Bearer passing away gave wwe all the the building they need for WM. It's too perfect I almost suspect McMahon had something to do with it lol.
I just asked on another board what would the main event of RAW been if Bearer didn't die.
No way at all. The stars lined up perfectly for this one. Now with bearer dead if taker loses then he can retire and the story can simply close out with no more bearer there's no more undertaker.

just noticed the Bella twins are back..maybe they could challenge cameron and naomi to a tag match
I know Vince is like "I know it's fucked up...but thank you, Paul."
Why is everyone so pro "End The Streak"? Why should CM Punk end it? When most of the ideas and gimmicks in wrestling nowadays don't mean shit, why end the only thing that means something? Once he loses it don't mean shit no more. Like that year the Patriots were undefeated in the regular season but lost the superbowl. That lost basically turned that season to shit, why cause u lost and the Giants are more remembered for the win and its like the Patriots never did shit.

If you had to lose a game, would you rather lose it during the season in the midst of a streak, or at the Super Bowl?
All streaks come to an end. It's not like you get an award for longest streak ever.
The only thing you get for a streak is people remembering that you had a streak. But that's not necessarily a bad thing.
They'll be new people who will try to break that record and have that same streak or better and the original streak will always be brought up in comparison.
Just like all those miscellaneous streaks ESPN pulls up when Lebron or somebody breaks a record and they compare his stats to greats like Oscar Robertson, Magic or Wilt.
Or just like Punk's streak for most days as champion. It ended but it's still a part of his legacy. His name will forever be mentioned with guys like Bruno Sammartino, Hogan, Backlund, etc.
Taker's streak is already cemented into his legacy. It was never meant to go on forever. Yeah his streak will end, but it will forever be a part of history.
Taker's streak needs to end to represent the closure of his career (because that's the only thing that keeps him coming back) and Punk may be the most suitable guy on the roster to end it.
I think Paul dying just killed any chance of Punk winning though.
That's not true, Juice (if you take the name OJ, I'm calling you "Juice"
).The Streak is The Streak. WWE has two dvds on it already, nothing will hurt this or Taker's overall legacy.
But at this stage and knowing he wont be around like previous years to give the win back, he needs to put over Punk, a guy who works full time and is the best heel they've had in years.
As a wrestler, you put guys over on the way out. That's how the business has worked (and worked well) for generations. Only in this recent time, particularly in WWE, do guys not do that anymore and it's one of the reasons they have a hard time building new stars. All the veterans leave and put over other veterans, who themselves are on their last legs (Flair, HBK, JBL).
It was an accident anyway. No one will ever do it again. So let Punk win and it will definitely be brought up next year with him being "The man who ended The Streak".
Good for Knight for trying to take the charge, though.
Wow. That's not a bad idea.
Bellas back.
I guess they couldn't get shit happening like they thought and came back to some guaranteed money.
Hey brothers
Don't bury the Taker so fast. A guy working one match a year can go a long way. This might be the last go-round but, if he can, I'd have him lose and come back next year so he can go out with a win, especially if it's over Brock.

Punk is not going to beat Taker so people need to just accept it, Taker has only been willing to lose to 2 people and that's Kane & HBK. Last night's raw was one of the most boring slow moving episodes i've ever seen and having Punk interrupt the tribute was just cheap heat that anyone could've gotten. Ziggler got a win but he's lost so much that it didn't matter, and that highlight reel segment was painful to watch especially when you have Lawler & Cole shitting all over it. The only thing that i found even a little funny was Kane's obsession with Halle Berry.
I don't think he will do it but he should. Not just because it's the right thing to do but because Taker picked him as an opponent and that's some obnoxious shit to pick a guy to beat. But having him lose to Kane REALLY sucked and is even more reason for him to beat Taker.
But there is nothing wrong with cheap heat. They have a short window to promote this match and this fell into their laps.
The streak is not meant to be broken and being in a WM match with Taker is big time, it's not obnoxious it's an honor since Taker could've picked anyone to feud with. Also there is plenty wrong with cheap heat since it's just a lazy tactic to get people to hate someone, Punk is capable of getting legit heat and this was just lame. Im not shocked since they did the same shit after Eddie died but it's still stupid imo.

It's very obnoxious and out of line to have a guy you know is going to lose three high profile matches to then lose another one for a guy who works once a year. Taker couldnt pick anyone because they have to A)be able to carry him, B)be able to work safely, C) be worth the time to come back. There aren't many guys like that in WWE and the few there are were already locked up. Who else could he pick but CM Punk? Unless they plan on him coming right back and pinning both Rock and/or Cena and going on another long reign, him losing to Taker would do serious damage to him being a legit top heel. TNA isn't perfect but one thing they do much better than WWE is protect their top heels.
If you cheap stuff every week, it's a problem but doing one stunt, especially after a pretty good promo last week, is pretty smart. Every heel gets a cheap heat moment but it's really only cheap if there's no good follow through.
The Streak should definitely end and it should be ended by the one heel that means anything in WWE: CM Punk. If he ends it this year and Taker doesn't/can't come back next year, they will still have to bring it up just because Punk ended it. If Taker wins and doesn't come back, it's over, like having Money in the Bank at Mania.
Personally and selfishly, I hope he loses and comes back one more to avenge the loss because I already told my son we're going to Mania next year in New Orleans.
Big Show, just like he did for Ezekiel Jackson, Mark Henry, and Sheamus, made Roman Reigns look like a beast. I expect him sooner or later to get slammed/suplexed by Big E and Ryback before too long.
Mania is starting to look like a show where all the faces win. Taker over Punk, Ryback over Henry, ADR over Swag, Jericho over Barrett. This is looking like the best ppv of the month of April might be the TNA X Division show where RVD and Jerry Lynn have their final match.

Man the way they're going, CM Punk would have to save Cena from a fire and end all wars to become a face again.
Dave's son will be like this everyday for the next 13 months.

He was a real asshole when I told him (after we got back, of course) that me and his mother went to Mania in Atlanta so I owe him one.
Knowing that ice cold serial killer, if I waited for them to go back to ATL, he would be old enough to go on his own and get better seats and stay in a better hotel and rub it in my face.

Just to add salt to the wound he would probably take a chick who hates wrestling
If RVD doesn't re-sign with TNA (and he might), someone will have their Mania spot bumped.
Or Dolph Ziggler can expect a VanDaminator on the Raw after Mania.

You think Van Dam is WWE bound?
I would'nt mind one more run for RVD in the WWE.

I'll believe it when I see it. Between the WWE schedule which is one of the main reasons that Van Dam hasn't been with the company in years and his weed habit I personally doubt that it happens.
Pritchard is fucking up at TNA. Between this RVD situation and the Robert Roode situation in which Roode had to tell the company that his deal was up he is slacking. Quite frankly Roode should have probably tried to make the jump to the WWE.
I don't but I think if he wanted to go, that door, especially right now, is wide open like a mouth on a ring rat.
Yeah, Bruce needs to get that together. Although this might not be the same as the Roode situation. Either or both parties might have let it run out to renegotiate from square one.
For whatever reason, they don't want him. They've talked before and he ended up back in TNA.
They don't want Roode but have room for Fandango.
Bad Influence as the Road Warriors.
I see they're keeping Storm busy until they send him after the World title again. Slow burning him like WWF did Austin might work.
