THE WRESTLING THREAD: HHH KEEPS DOING HHH THINGS.....
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
Damn, I was expecting Del Rio music to hit, guess shit is real. That's crazy, guess his neck couldn't do no more. Hell of a career
what happened to edge?
had thought at first this was some kind of angle and alberto del rio and that brodus guy were going to jump him backstage and beat him down or something 
A tournament is on the horizon it seems. The Kong promo was wild. The black fans of WWE will be in for a ride. She will clearly be popular even as a heel diva but I hope they don't turn her into a goofy face with an Oprah or Monique personality
. I could see WWE trying to do that. Either way black fans and observers will watch how she is used in this "entertainment" thing.

Why will the black fans be excited ??? What about the other fans ????

i assume the first thing she'll do is get the divas title off that bella twin
WWE's track record with black talent over the last 25 years makes me skeptical.
I guess this is why they let Edge retain his title at Wrestlemania. Let him go out on top. This will truly hurt Smackdown but Edge will truly be missed
This is all a work.
If you notice when he went backstage, Christian was not there.
I smell a feud between Edge and Christian coming up.
They have been kind of teasing it.
Watch.
He said a year or so ago that he only had a couple of years left and if new neck issues presented themselves it's only reasonable that he would retire.Besides they have been teasing a feud and they could have pulled it off easily without adding Edge retiring to it.

Damn, sad to see Edge go, especially with the WWE getting as weak as it's been getting.
Thats gonna fuck them up tremendously
nah this is legit man. The way he was talking tonite you could tell he was really calling it quits and I can't blame him.
Smackdown will really suffer now with no true no.1 face on the roster. Edge is gone, Undertaker only appears 3 times a year, Mysterio is on his last legs so will they get ? I could see them doing the draft thing and mabye sending someone like John Morrison or mabye even Randy Orton over to Smackdown.
So is Edge gone from in-ring competition but still will be used on tv, or is he gone like .... GONE, cause if so, Damn.
As for the draft, I don't see them doing anything significant with Morrison, especially since all the stuff with Trish hit the net.
I wonder if this will make Vince finally give Christian a shot as champion.
I hope so. Make Christian champ, send Morrison to Smackdown, have him feud with Del Rio.
I think Morrison for Swagger would be a good trade, then have Swagger feud with Daniel Bryan for the US championship.
Looking at all the unused talent, they should've kept the Superstars tv show and just brought back the Cruiserweight and European championships.
Have Christian and Del Rio feud over the title.Send Bryan to Smackdown and keep Swagger.Let Smackdown continue to be the wrestling show and highlight the guys who can work.
As for Superstars the WWE didn't end it WGN canceled it from their schedule.Besides they barely do anything with the titles they have adding more wouldn't help.
Damn. Edge? Great performer. STILL, if you know he's going out, he should have dropped the belt to ADR at Mania. Here's another top guy going out without giving a newer guy "the rub". JBL, Michaels, Austin, Rock (though he did put over Brock before), Flair (asterisk since he spent his whole career putting over young guys), and now Edge.
Just in case anyone may still think this is a work
MORE ON WHY EDGE HAS RETIRED
by Mike Johnson @ 10:58 PM on 4/11/2011
WWE's website posted an article on Edge's retirement, noting that Edge had suffering numbness and uncontrollable trembling in his arms and hands of late, symptoms of nueropraxia, a nervous system disorder. Edge was experiencing similar issues when he underwent neck fusion surgery several years ago.
According to the WWE website, Edge underwent an MRI last Monday.
After the MRI was examined by WWE's Medical Director Dr. Joseph Maroon, Edge was diagnosed with stenosis of the spine, which in layman's terms, means his spinal cord was narrowing from the abuse he's taken since returning to the ring from his 2003 neck fusion surgery.
With the damage to his spinal cord, continued abuse of the neck from bumping could result in series injury, including paralysis.
btw, I went to the Smackdown taping last week just in case Kong made her debut and obviously I was disappointed but I'm glad they're making a move with her now.

On another point
Why, after that abortion of a match at Mania, are they even entertaining giving us Lawler-Cole II? This is what happens when an out of touch 60+ yr old man like Vince has people booking product that he enjoys whether the people like it or not.
Another short term push for R-Truth? Maybe if he didn't get beat every week between pushed, people would take him seriously.
The New Nexus recovered from the "Punt" in record time.

The WWE spent years not properly building up top heels and faces, especially on the Smackdown brand and now it's about to come back and bite them in the ass.
With Edge gone and Taker on a 3-5 matches a year schedule, the world title picture is about to take a major dive.
Maybe Jack Swagger will be world champion again,
R.I.P. for sure. He was one of the best personalities in Chikara. He wrestled well within his limitations, and was always a GREAT talker. 2nd only to Eddie Kingston in Chikara. I'm glad that he had his last show in Chikara at one of the best wrestling shows of 2010 (Cybernetico). Great surprise entraint.
Hate to see Edge go but it's good in a way he went out on top as a fan. I'm guessing he got his results after the Smackdown taping last week, other wise they wouldn't have booked the ladder for the next ppv. Randy Orton most likely will get drafted to Smackdown to be the main event face of the show. Christian will get a deserving push. They really have no choice but to stop jobing out Kofi since Christian will get bumped up from a midcarder to a title contender. Even with the heat Morrison has on him WWE is in no position to really bumped him down to the bottom. It's safe to say that R Truth got Morrison's spot at the ppv.
From my understanding he had the MRI the Monday following Wrestlemania, so he wouldn't of been cleared to wrestle on the Tuesday tapings. Edge doesn't seem like the type to intentionally not do business.
I can see Randy getting moved over to SD at the next Draft, if not sooner. Him and Morrison.
WWE boxed themselves in and now they're in big trouble. Much like Crockett in 87-88, when he bought UWF and Central States and spread his talent too thin, WWE has the same problem.
That explains why he "wrestled" in street clothes for the SD dark match.
I'm sure if they asked him to, he would drop the title to whomever they chose so I don't even blame the talent anymore. I don't think HHH says jack to protect himself and same with Taker but the writers instinctively put them over younger talents because they're the "stars" instead of trying to make new stars using them.
I saw parts of his speech, did he vacate the title?
I think they're saving that for tonight's SD taping.
I was hoping he would make one more appearance on SD. He can't hang it up on Raw.
Him, Taker, and Rey have been the heart and soul of SD since Eddie died. They're really the only reason to watch.
Genius.
If you like the Sin Cara trampoline entrance, don't get used to it. From what I've heard and read, Vince hates it and people in the back are down on him and Primo after their match Monday.
Uh oh.
He better get it together and fast.

I hate that trampoline entrance too. It's a flashy gimmick to use once, maybe at a big ppv, but every time he cmes to the ring 
That shit has disaster written all over it. We're only two weeks in and he almost face planted both times.

Damn Dean, you were the one behind that.
I really like Morrison's in-ring work, but he is being killed right now.
With all this bad backstage news, he would need a 'made' guy like HHH, Jim Ross, or Taker to get in his corner in order to bounce back.

I enjoyed the match but it went on tolong and Cara was looking back & appealing to the fans too much . They should have scraped the tramp for his entrance after he barely cleared the rope on his debut. I really hope that Cara dosen't end up getting the same treatment that Ultimo Dragon got during his WWE run.
The thing about that is Shawn Michaels early on in his HBK character was a showboat ( maybe because he was a heel ). Shawn would spread out in the corner and rest on the top rope.
