THE WRESTLING THREAD: HHH KEEPS DOING HHH THINGS.....
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
Damn man he ain't unleashed that shit in WWE yet. I wonder if he ever will? That shit is CRAZY.
The big swing is an old school move.
Cesero should of been called up sooner.
Good match too.
I'm finally catching up on Smackdown and that Barret-Kofi match was the best match they've ever had.
While I think Kofi should come out with the IC title, I'm through getting mad about how they shit on Kofi. Arn Anderson is an all time great and was never even US champion and Kofi could be Jack Swagger.
Scott Hall Joining DDP's Yoga and Health Program Next
Posted by Jeffrey Harris on 01.06.2013
After the great work he did with Jake Roberts...
- Jake Roberts has reportedly lost over 50 pounds since he moved in with Diamond Dallas Page and started Page's DDP Yoga health regimen. Next, Page is said to soon be moving in with Scott Hall's home to use his regimen to try and assist Hall with his personal and health problems. A documentary about the process is currently filming.
Tessmacher was black in another life.

wonder how long will it before they put gail kim's hubby robert(restaurant impossible) irvine into a story angle
Cena took about 4 or 5 finishing moves and laid out Ziggler with one finishing move. I hope everytime The Rock comes back and is on the mic I hope everyone is in the back sitting around indian style and watching him on the TV in the back.
Rock gonna be 80 years old and still putting in good work on the mic.
This dude gets a big pop the only time I got up when they were in Brooklyn TLC
I hope everytime The Rock comes back and is on the mic I hope everyone is in the back sitting around indian style and watching him on the TV in the back.
I wonder if Dolph was seriously pissed when Cena kept laughing off everything he was saying during their promo, the match was good but the fact that Dolph hit every single move in his arsenal and Cena kept kicking out was stupid.
As for Rock i was a little concerned he was going to go into social media overload, but thankfully he cut that short and got serious and Punk was great as well. I liked what both had to say because they stayed in their lane, Rock did what he always does and that's make fun of you but put you over as a threat and Punk kept the insider references to a minimum and delivered a great exchange.
I hope Cena was taking notes because that's how you sell a match, Rock & Punk tore the house down with that promo
The difference between WWE writers and old school bookers like Ole Anderson and Ernie Ladd is that match would have led to a new star in WWE in Dolph Ziggler. Cena's already beaten him several times on Raw and is headed towards a Mania main event, the old guy's would have given that to Dolph to keep his momentum going (at this point, even when he cashes in MitB, it won't mean shit).
At least Rhodes Scholars finally won a match with Kane and Bryan but 3MB went from coming up to back to jobbers.
Gotdamn Kofi
Killer segment for the exact reasons you listed. Rock's going to cut his jokes and if the heel sells it wrong, the whole thing becomes a bad Abbott and Costello routine but Punk gave the perfect responses. Too bad he's going to be jobbing to Taker at Mania because I think him and Rock could really have a good feud.
Oh, you know I hated the Rock Bottom. If Rock's going over, Punk needs to leave him laying again but even then, they shouldn't touch each other until the week before the ppv. We've already seen that WWE fans do not buy ppvs just because the Rock's on them.
Zack's getting fed up apparently, if only a year too late
Yea it was a solid match. That was a hell of a way to start off Raw for 2013 with that match. But what made it good sadly was how many times Ziggler hit him with a finishing move that he's beaten EVERYONE else with but Cena kept kicking out of all of them. Shit man I forgot which one is even Ziggler's "real" finishing move. I guess its the superkick now but shit man he kicked out of all them moves. Even kicked out of Big E's finisher.
But this is gonna be Cena's "year" so I guess I should be happy we atleast got a good match out of him and Ziggler as opposed to the gets beat up for 3 minutes and turns into Superman match".And yea Rock did what no one else could do to Punk. Cena tried to throw insults his way when they had their "confrontation" but Rock is the only cat who could make Punk look silly but what made this counter so strong was like you said. Punk wasn't smiling or laughing shit off.
This shit reminds me of that time Shelton Benjamin had that cold ass match on Raw against Shawn Michaels. Shelton barely lost but shit should've put him over. Ziggler's better on the mic than Shelton but they better be careful how they book those matches.
And yea now they got Kofi losing matches in 15 seconds and shit now. I don't even know why they took his title from him to begin with. I like Barrett but he's a main eventer. He should be feuding with a Shamus or someone at this point.
Punk knows sabotaging Rock only hurts himself in the long run so he did what any wrestler with an ounce of common sense would do and that's sell the match, i guarantee Cena has some major regrets for his actions last year.
You've got to stop with this hatred of wrestlers hitting their finishers because you know Punk struck 1st so it was just payback. As for the ppv fans won't buy them if you give them a 2 week shitty build-up, but Rock & Punk sold a lot of ppvs with that promo last night. Punk knows sabotaging Rock only hurts himself in the long run so he did what any wrestler with an ounce of common sense would do and that's sell the match, i guarantee Cena has some major regrets for his actions last year.
I will not stop, it's bad booking. There shouldn't have been any contact at all and it should be Punk who looks strong since he's the heel, champ, and the guy doing the job. Since when don't we call out bad booking.
I doubt Cena has any regrets and if he did, when he got his WM bonus, they went away.
Watching WWE now is like watching World Class right before it died: superhero face(s), weak heels and tag teams that don't mean shit unless some singles guys are teaming. Vince is lucky that he has no comp to kill his company like he did Fritz's.

TNA STAR EXITS COMPANYby Devin Cutting @ 3:07 PM on 1/8/2013
D'Angelo Dinero posted the following statements on his Twitter page (@DaBlackPope):
"Pope's Contract expired with TNA on Jan 1, I will not be resigning. Thanks to Dixie and the whole TNA Family for a wonderful 3+ Years."
"And for the SM's out there, THIS is not a storyline."
If there's anyone that it can be said TNA dropped the ball on, it's the Pope. He's actually the one guy who benefitted by Hogan and Bischoff coming in as his push was even stronger under them and he was a main eventer.
When he got jumped by Aces and Eights and they never mentioned it again, I had a bad feeling.
Hey, Shelton just left ROH and Kenny King's been gone so they have a spot open.

Speaking the truth
Let me take that back. Vince killed Georgia, the AWA, and Mid South but Fritz letting his drug addicted boys run wild until they killed themselves killed his company more than Vince.
I hope Cena was taking notes because that's how you sell a match, Rock & Punk tore the house down with that promo
co-sign. thats the best promo in a long ass time.
I didn't get that either. Either have Dolph win with the help of interference of have Cena kick out all those times only for Dolph to say fuck it and get himself disqualified. Jobbing him out like that didn't make sense especially with him now having this alliance. At least make the combination of him, AJ, and Big E Langston look strong.
I enjoyed the segment and at some between now and the Rumble Punk will get his heat back so it was okay especially it's been about 6 months since Punk got the best of the Rock.
Looking at the Smackdown spoilers it appears that Rock shows up and that there were some surprising happenings as well.
Spoiler alert:
Alberto Del Rio defeated the Big Show in a Last Man Standing Match to win the World Heavyweight Title.
RE: spoiler: im guessing he'll only keep it till Raw.where he gets beat down,allowing for Ziggler to cash in the MITB case and take the belt..
That guy getting that title makes absolutely no sense at all other than what you are suggesting Pimp. Seems like they could've just bypassed all of that and just have Ziggler cash it in on the original champ.
Knowing them they figured that allowing him to win the title in a 1 on 1 matchup would make him stronger and then allowing Ziggler to then take advantage of circumstances would keep his momentum. The win does make him a stronger character but in all likelihood they are then going to have him job to Ziggler once he gets the belt so they're going to waste it. They still don't understand that 1 win doesn't erase the damage done by multiple losses.
It seems like they are burying Del Rio or want to but you give him the title to i'm sure just lose it? It wouldn't shock me if Del Rio didn't even get a rematch. It wouldn't shock me if they simply pretended like he never had the title.
It will be a good look for Ziggler because it wasn't just long ago they had him losing every fucking week after a push. WWE are just royally fucking Del Rio, Kofi and Ziggler.I agree. They're going to end up hurting ADR and Dolph with this since neither of them will be defending the title if they decide to go with Sheamus/Orton for the World title.
Funny thing is I saw this on their website so they really want to drive ratings for Smackdown. They usually pretend like SD is live like Raw and but they've been posting their own spoilers a lot lately.
ANOTHER TNA DEPARTURE & A THIRD ON THE WAY?
by Mike Johnson @ 8:44 AM on 1/9/2013
Sarita (Sara Stock) is done with TNA. That one is a real shame as she's a hell of a worker, but the company hasn't done anything with her in months. Her last date was the Lockdown PPV in April 2012.
With her departure, a lot of readers have been asking about Rosita. We haven't heard anything definitive but she hasn't been used in months, which is as mind-boggling as Sarita not being used.
Unfortunate but expected. SHINE has an ippv coming up with Awesome Kong, maybe Sara can get on.

TNA loses one and WWE picks up a good one (I'm dying to see what they do with him and if he ever makes the main roster)
WWE SIGNS TOP INDEPENDENT NAME AND MORE ON THE WAY
by Mike Johnson @ 1:48 PM on 1/9/2013
WWE has signed El Generico to a deal, PWInsider.com confirmed this morning. As we noted several months back, the company has had interest in him and it's been Generico's goal since not signing with Ring of Honor to get into the company.
One of the reasons WWE was so interested in Generico was that he speaks a number of different languages. The feeling was that would in handy as an asset for international markets.
Generico was removed from this weekend's Pro Wrestling Guerrilla event in California and it appears may already be done on the independent scene. He returned to Ring of Honor at Final Battle 2012 in what may prove to be his last-ever match with longtime partner/rival Kevin Steen.
Generico's signing is said to be part of a bigger WWE plan as the company has a number of names on their radar that they want to lock in for deals. I am told it's a Triple H move and that there will be a lot more signings to come, as long as those the company are interested in can pass the necessary medical exams.

I saw the headline earlier and honestly Generico would not have been in my first 5 guesses strictly because they seem to like a certain look and he's is so slim that I figured that they wouldn't go there. It's a nice signing as he can wrestle, fly around, work as a comedy guy and always seems to get over. He's probably the most universally popular indy guy around right now.
Hopefully he makes the main roster and I also hope that they sign The Briscoes next. I heard an interview in which Gabe Sapolsky spoke on them saying that he's scared that 10 years from now their bodies will be broken down from all the crazy stuff they've done in wrestling with very little money to show for it.
