THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!

[c_commander]

Glacier ????

I doubt it since I don't remember Glacier ever being connected to Randy Savage. Story is that Eric Bischoff came up with the idea and actually offered RVD a contract so that he could play the character.

after that program he did with Orton I just knew Kofi was on his way up but I think it was a pay per view where Edge basically beat the shit out of Kofi as he was on his way to the Elimnation Chamber match I kind of felt that was the beginning of the end for him but since he has won the I-C title and was on Bragging Rights so he's a decent mid-carder.

Actually the thing with Edge happened at least a good 8 months to a year before the Orton feud.Unfortunately they followed up Edge's attack with 1 match which Edge won comfortably.Orton sandbagged Kofi when he got pissed during a match and made light of Kofi blowing a spot.

TNA is another WCW. Good lightweights, plus wrestlers who have main event potential, old wrestlers who are keeping the young wrestlers down awful booking etc. They should of tried to get Paul Heyman but I don't believe anybody can turn that company around except Dana White.

They tried to get Heyman but the story is that Heyman wanted control of who was to be hired and fired and Dixie Carter was unwilling to give in on that. She should have considering that she's made such as moves as allowing Christopher Daniels,Homicide and Awesome Kong to go while she brought in people like Val Venis,The Nasty Boys and Orlando Jordan who either didn't stay long after contributing nothing or stuck around a contributed nothing.Heyman is good at figuring out where people fit in and using them to maximum effect which is the opposite of TNA and Vince Russo do now.

Please stop giving Jeff Hardy the mic. His promo's are BRUTAL to listen to. They should have given Samoa Joe the strap. He's the only person in the company other than Matt Morgan who's mic skills match his ring skills.

~MVP's Stagnated Push and Limitations~



Quote:
As the behind-the-scenes story of MVP and his current WWE situation continues to unfold, WrestleZone has learned some new information from several well placed WWE sources.

MVP's push in WWE has been at a stalemate for quite some time now, which has left fans puzzled as to why the superstar has not been given a better spot in the company.

From what we've been told, MVP's WWE situation is best described as a "double-edged sword." MVP is a convicted felon who spent 9 years in prison prior to signing with WWE. On the one hand, WWE likes to use MVP's story to its advantage as the company likes the idea of having a "feel-good" story to run with in order to promote a more philanthropic image. MVP has turned his life around, devotes a lot of his time to charity and has maintained a high profile job with WWE. This is an attractive story the company can use if necessary.

On the other hand, however, MVP's past ultimately limits him. With the political environment as it is in WWE at the moment, the fear is that if the company pushes MVP too high it could prove to be detrimental should anyone decide to criticize WWE for hiring a convicted felon.

Additionally, WZ has been told that Vince McMahon doesn't like MVP as a heel, and given MVP's past the only way a true heel turn could work for him would be if creative went all the way with the turn and made light of his time spent in prison. Given WWE's current PG setting, that idea is highly unlikely. While it's true that MVP's jail time has been mentioned on WWE TV in the past, it was well before WWE made the full move to a PG rated product.

From what WZ has been told, there is no one singular incident which has accounted for MVP's lack of push, nor is there any heat on him for any specific reason. "This is not a Matt Hardy situation," said a WWE creative team member, "MVP is not being punished nor does he have any heat on him, it's more a matter of creative being limited in what it can pitch for MVP given his past and WWE's current political landscape."

WZ has been told that MVP is set to meet with Vince McMahon within the coming days to address both his current situation and his future, so we will continue to update this story as more information becomes available

Everytime I see or hear some dumb ass shit like this it appears to me more and more than Vince McMahon is either an idiot,senile or damn close to being both.MVP has already gotten over once hugely as a heel.And he did it with absolutely no mention of a criminal past so that is nothing more than an excuse being used because they don't want him to succeed as a heel or to maximize him to his full capabilities.

Though I respect the Pope as one of TNA's few black wrestlers he comes off as a cartoonish stereotype to me. His in ring ability, however, is undeniable.

 

[dirtyd]

I've been saying they need to make vince step down because he's lost it. He thought cena would bring in more black fans like rock did, he also got lucky with rock/austin seeing as how he hasn't been able to create a new megastar.

what political enviroment in WWE ???? Linda McMahon lost her race a month ago so what the fuck are the WWE talking about ? ( btw where are those Stand up for WWE spots at now ???)

MVP made a mistake in his life and he did his time so for them to use that as a reason to hold him back is complete and utter bullshit. Everyone makes mistakes ,myself included, but last I checked you are entitled to a second chance, and I know MVP's having a gig in WWE is his second chance they need to give him a major push not just have him doing a squash job to Drew McIntyre or Dolph Ziggler. The least they could do is put him in a short program with Kane just to see how he fares.

 

[Upgrade Dave]

Please stop giving Jeff Hardy the mic. His promo's are BRUTAL to listen to. They should have given Samoa Joe the strap. He's the only person in the company other than Matt Morgan who's mic skills match his ring skills.

I disagree. Hardy's heel promos are actually pretty decent. They're weird but it looks like someone should have turned him a while ago because the longer he does it, the better he gets at it. The only problem I have is that TNA didn't have him centerstage the first Impacts after Bound For Glory. That would be like if Hogan wasn't on Nitro the first couple shows after his turn in 96. It killed their momentum coming out of the ppv and Anderson getting hurt didn't help.

The Pope's in ring ability and promos shit all over Matt Morgan's.

Yep and I like Morgan. I think his main event push is overdue while the Pope should be in a "on deck" position, which he is. I thought he fit comfortably as a heel but he's shifted well, now they just need to let him and Abyss work together some more before they put them on ppv again. I'm sure they have a good match in them but the Turning Point match wasn't it.

I hope him and Vince, if such a meeting happens, can work something out. Dude can work, talk, and still gets great ovations so he could headline at least one of the B ppv shows.
But the bold printed part makes me question the article. They mentioned MVP's past all the time and especially the last two years when he feuded with Jack Swagger so it wasn't that long ago and the PG mode was in full swing.

 

[dirtyd]

In the garbage where they should be, but in response to politics wrestling is all about it. It's about who you know and attaching yourself to them so you get a big push. Cena is considered the biggest brown noser in the locker room, and hhh and to a lesser degree orton are notorious for halting pushes.

One last thing about Miz winning last week (I'm just watching it in it's entirety now), it's good to see a guy have real emotion when he wins a world title.

I forgot MVP's past. You would think that would actually be a good thing for the company having someone they could use to battle in debates regarding the negativity of wrestling. Here they have a guy who actually made it a positive and turned his life around. But they're seeing it from a different perspective. I do know that MVP can't visit some countries due to his past which I guess could hurt the show but it would seem like there's a way around that. Looks more like the WWE is finding reasons to why they can't give MVP a push. But I guess its a good thing that its not like the Matt Hardy situation and he doesn't actually have heat on him.

NoDQ.com > WWE > MVP Expresses Frustration to Chris Jericho
Posted by Steve Carrier on 11/28/2010 at 01:20 PM

- MVP and Chris Jericho went back and forth a bit on Twitter this weekend and Jericho asked MVP, "are you still with the company?"

MVP replied with the following: "Barely it would seem. Just barely."

A fan later asked why does MVP always get "screwed over" on SmackDown. MVP replied: "If you find out let me know please! Lol."

it's obvious he's starting to get angry about the whole situation but hopefully he'll continue to act professional and go about his job accordingly.His time will come soon.

Nature Boy Buddy Rogers is spinning in his grave and Bruno Sammartino is tossing and turning in his bed...the fucking MIZ??? Muraco, Snuka, Dibiase, Hennig, Steamboat, Rude and fucking Piper never had WWF/E title runs but they give it to THAT DOUCHE? Man that title don't mean shit no more...that shit is the WWE TV title.

I agree. He is not championship material yet and all this talk about him improving only shows some are saying he is not actually there as a championship level main eventer who can draw.

All you have to ask yourself is this. Would he be champion 5-10-15 years ago at this stage of his career?

New stars need to be made, but titles being tossed around is only making the past look greater. Not only that the Money In the Bank is also a cheap way to have someone win a title in a situation that explains why they are champion in the first place. It's lame now before it was creative and now it's just a crutch to get someone undeserving into position of champion. Can someone really say Miz had that one match where you can say yes he is championship caliber?

All the greats who worked hard and EARNED the spots always had that signature match that everyone critically agreed a push as champion was warranted. With Austin it was his match with Bret at WM 13. The Rock his match with HHH in a ladder match at SummerSlam. HBK his ladder match with Razor and the list goes on. That is why they connected with the audience instead of getting backlash when they are forced.

Everybody who works hard is compensated with a salary. The titles should go to the cream of the crop. That's why I haven't watched as much since they started using the titles to get people over instead of the other way around ever since Angle and Brock's push although they were excusable with their athletic backgrounds.

So a 61 year old lawler put on one of the best title matches this year, vince needs to be ashamed of himself. I know miz is a heel and needs to generate heat but his running down the legends when describing himself becoming champ was unnecessary seeing as how he needs to gain some cred first. He was talking about piper steamboat etc not being world champ, but the thing is they were still hall of famers while he is champ and people still won't know him.

Booker T is a felon too, and a multi-time World Champ

All you have to ask yourself is this. Would he be champion 5-10-15 years ago at this stage of his career?

That's the problem of the way the product is presented, not the wrestler himself.
It's very possible he could have been the champion in previous eras because he can talk and work, must-have qualities for the top guy. He's a better worker/talker than a lot of guys who have been champion of the AWA/WWF/WWE/NWA/WCW/ECW/TNA.

New stars need to be made, but titles being tossed around is only making the past look greater.

That's why I haven't watched as much since they started using the titles to get people over instead of the other way around ever since Angle and Brock's push although they were excusable with their athletic backgrounds.

When you complain about how they cheapen titles, I wholeheartedly agree while still thinking Miz has earned his chance at holding the top title (even though we all know this reign will be short. No longer than the Royal Rumble). The guy went from the mascot of Smackdown to being the equal of John Morrison in a great tag team to a solid midcarder to world champion. He followed a very similar path to that of Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels in the WWF days.
I think it's ridiculous that there are currently two guys who have been champ 9 times currently working and neither of them are 40 (Cena and Edge) plus a few guys that have been champ 6 or more times and one guy who's been the champ 13 times. By the same token, when they talk about Jack Swagger, they spend more time talking about him being a two time All American than him being a former World champion, discrediting him, his run, and the title.

So a 61 year old lawler put on one of the best title matches this year, vince needs to be ashamed of himself. I know miz is a heel and needs to generate heat but his running down the legends when describing himself becoming champ was unnecessary seeing as how he needs to gain some cred first.

I don't have a problem with it because that's what good heels do. He's supposed to run down everyone else and boost himself up. That's his character and it turned into a great promo. Btw, it was great to see the Lawler I remember make an appearance.
Between Miz, Barrett, and Sheamus, WWE has a great crop of young heels for the next 5-8 years, barring injury.

The problem i have with miz is that he comes off like a joke heel, he clearly tries to talk like jericho when he gets into his low tone serious voice and i just don't buy it. The part i find funny is how he was talking about how great he is compared to the legends, yet when he interrupted chad ocho a couple of months ago the sportscenter people had no idea who he was.

But the part about him comparing himself to the old guys is classic heel behavior.

Kaitlyn won NXT over Naomi? It's bullshit but not unexpected since Kaitlyn's the one who's been making appearances on other shows in storylines and all Naomi has been doing is wrestling well and cutting serious promos. Hopefully they have something planned for Naomi other than going back to FCW since they clearly undermined her chance at winning by making Kaitlyn a more well known character.

According to sources, Randy Orton suffered an injury to his knee on last week's RAW from Orlando, FL. This is the same night Orton lost the WWE title to The Miz after he cashed in his Money In The Bank briefcase. According to the source, Nexus member Husky Harris kicked Orton in the knee, thus causing the injury. Orton was kept off WWE weekend live events as a result of this. The injury caused quite the scare among WWE management as the last thing they need right now is another top star injured.

Did he really injure his knee? I thought him acting like his knee was hurt was just Orton selling the beatdown before he was to lose to Miz after the Barrett match.
