Coming off of Wrestlemania they booked a quality card and managed to make the show feel just as good, if not a bit better, than the granddaddy of them all.

1. Randy Orton defeated Kane (Falls Count Anywhere)
Their match a few weeks back at Mania was not bad but both guys really gave it their all here. Some good in-crowd fighting and backstage brawling. Getting Zack Ryder involved helps keeps his character relevant no matter who Kane is up against. Crowd popped big at Orton’s kickout of the chokeslam and hit an RKO on a chair for the pin.
Rating: ***1/2

2. Brodus Clay defeated Dolph Ziggler
There are ways to get Clay over. Jobbing someone who should be a future world champion to him should not be one of them. Basic Ziggler match. He sells everything like a champ then takes a loss and gets paid.
Rating: ***

3. Cody Rhodes defeated Big Show for the Intercontinental Title (Tables Match)
A tables match was an easy way to get Cody the title back and they did it in such a believable way that you don’t mind the title change this soon. Show tried to come back in the ring and Rhodes dropkicked him and Show stepped on a table outside of the ring and it broke. And then Show’s face was priceless. Like a kid who just broke something very expensive. Props to Cody for taking the table bumps after the match to with Show press slamming him out of the ring to the table on the floor.
Rating: ***1/2

4. Sheamus defeated Daniel Bryan to retain the World Heavyweight Title (2 out of 3 falls)
Thank you WWE for finally giving us a real match between these two. I hope you see that they delivered on every level and that you crapped all over their Mania match. They went the ECW rout with 14 minutes passing before the first fall which Sheamus won when Bryan was DQ’ed for not letting up on the referee five count. Then Bryan quickly evened the count with the Yes Lock until Sheamus passed out. What’s this? Smart booking by the guys in the back? Color me surprised. Sheamus picked up the third after hitting a sick looking Brogue Kick and wrestling fans, like me, we’re happy we got a great match from these two.
Rating: ****

5. Ryback defeated two jobbers
Ryback has a good upside. He is big and certainly has a presence in the ring and the beating jobbers works on Smackdown every week but on a PPV….in Chicago? Not so much. I did appreciate the “Goldberg” chants.
Rating: N/A

6. CM Punk defeated Chris Jericho to retain the WWE Title (Chicago Street Fight)
These two delivered big time last night. A hot crowd, two great wrestlers and and a ton of high spots made this the match of the night for me. I hope other guys were taking notes on how to do a brawl with weapons while still in the PG environment.
Rating: ****

7. Layla defeated Nikki Bella for the Divas Title
Beth couldn’t compete because of the ankle injury so we got the return of Layla. Honestly the WWE has done so much to harm the Divas division that only Kharma can save it.
Rating: *1/2

8. John Cena defeated Brock Lesnar (Extreme Rules Match)
Now this match was intense. Like one of my friends said last night: “They finally found a way to make Cena sell moves….have someone actually hurt him.” Does it make me sick Cena won? Yes. As always. But am I glad he will be “injured” and gone for awhile? God yes! Brock showed everyone he still has the athleticism even after 8 years. The finish however did work from a story standpoint. Cena had his “Hogan overcome all odds” crap, Lesnar looked like a badass and he “injured” Cena even though he lost.
Rating:****
All in all a very good PPV only a few weeks after Mania. Match wise I think Extreme Rules was booked better. Now we get the summer time blues of pay per views until Summerslam comes around in August.
Just remember….Cena sucks. ]]> mizisawesome12345 http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/community/entry.php?41579-Yes-Sir-Extreme-Rules-Review Scott Steiner: Bitter Without A Cause http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/community/entry.php?41468-Scott-Steiner-Bitter-Without-A-Cause Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:27:55 GMT I just finished an article on Scott Stiener's recent Twitter postings RE: TNA, etc, and it got me thinking, just how bitter is this guy and what really does he have to be so angry about ?


Steiner has been brutal towards TNA booking, etc. Regardless of wether you think they have done a good or bad job overall lately in that area, Steiner never once has thanked or acknowledged in anyway the fact that TNA even gave him a job to begin with, when apparently no one else in the wrestling industry was willing to do so.


Steiner has attacked Eric Bischoff, calling him an "idiot" among other things, particularly for praising Ric Flair at a TV production meeting as a "two time HOF'er". OK, even if you think Bischoff is a bit of a hypocrite RE: Flair given their well known issues in the past, has Steiner ever publicly acknowledged the fact that EZ E gave him the biggest push and contract extension he ever had during his "Big Poppa Pump" heyday with the NWO in the late 90s ? Breaking up the Steiners Bros Tag Team, having Scott turn heel, creating the whole "Poppa Pump" persona, joining the NWO, who was behind all that, wasnt it Bischoff ? Certainly the huge contract he got in 1998 was spearheaded by Bischoff. Has Steiner ever publicly acknowledged this ?


Steiner rants excessively on Flair & Hogan, almost to the point of obsession. I dont think Brett Hart ranted on the Montreal Screwjob as much. My first question is why, Hogan was a major force creatively in WCW when Steiner got his big push & payday, if Hogan was against him why did he get pushed to the moon in 98-99 ? Flair on the other hand had almost no stroke with Bischoff during that time so he certainly wasnt holding him back. Steiner got his break in the industry thanks to Flair, who pitched him hard to WCW management as a favor to Rick Steiner. It seems to me these guys did far more to make his career than they ever did to hurt it.


Steiner goes off on Triple H, HBK, & Vince McMahon almost as often as he does on Flair & Hogan. Never any mention of the fact that Vince hired him TWICE to work for him (also, if the first stint didnt go as well as Steiner would have liked whose fault was that, Flair, Hogan, HHH, Bischoff, none of them were involved with WWE during that time, hardly if at all). Steiner was pushed into the main events and put over heavily on WWE TV when he returned for is last stint almost immediately.


I get that maybe he thinks his career should have been bigger and better appreciated than it was, though he certainly had a good career by any measure. I get where maybe he's jealous of Flair, Hogan, HHH, all of whom have surpassed him in national recognition and in ring success. At some point though shouldnt you give credit where it's due, and isnt some of your failures your own fault, regardless of who you worked with or how you were booked ? Hogan has had his differences with Flair & McMahon but has repeatedly put them over for different things (McMahons work ethic, dedication, creative success, role in internationalizing WWE, Flair for his work ethic, dedicatoin, in ring performances, etc). Flair, despite his differences with Bischoff has given him credit for much of WCW's mid to late 90s success and praised him as an on air character. HBK has come out and praised Brett Hart for his work and given him credit for helping to make him into a main event star through their feuds and matches. Even Hart, who would seem to have more reason to be bitter about the wrestling industry than Steiner ever had, has backtracked on much of his venom towards his HBK & Flair, as well as Vince McMahon.


My point is, these guys seem to have had much more legitimate gripes than Steiner could have with anyone he lamblasts (what did HBK ever do to him for crying out loud, Steiner talks about him as a worthless wimp, for what??), yet they manage to admitt publicly the good these guys have done, sometimes grudgingly, for the industry or in some cases their own careers. Hogan may come across as arrogant but he has heaped praise of guys like Andre, Flair, & Vince over the years for the impact they had on his success for instance. Steiner apparently is too much of a child to do the same.


What are your thoughts ? Does Steiner have legitimate reason to gripe about HHH & HBK, to overlook how much Bischoff, Flair, and even Hogan contributed to his scuccess ? I think he's an overrated blow hard myself who is too immature to realize his own role in whatever failings he thinks he has?? ]]> mizisawesome12345 http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/community/entry.php?41468-Scott-Steiner-Bitter-Without-A-Cause Yes Sir, We Promised You A Great Event http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/community/entry.php?41408-Yes-Sir-We-Promised-You-A-Great-Event Tue, 10 Apr 2012 16:02:33 GMT 'Yes Sir,We Promised You A Great Event'

Rumor: WWE Releasing The Bella Twins:I'm still not sure which one was the Divas champion.

They had a good run for what they bring to the table. Although they are very attractive (great stomachs and are shockingly beautiful in their modelling photos), their best feature, being twins got old a long time ago. The surprising thing for me is that the best work they have done has been recent. I enjoyed their campy antics as the arguing sisters representing Teams Teddy and Johnny.

If they are going there are probably a couple of Divas or Divas-in-training that need to step up their game and realize a door just opened for them that may shut very quickly if they can't capitalize on it.


Will Vince Make Yet Another Attempt At Sting?:While I don't think it will happen again, I do think the chances of him thinking about it more seriously increase this year and next. I think past Wrestlemania 30, it's over. Sting is already 53 years old and isn't the wrestler he once was. His character is still great, but his in-ring skills are shot. Some say Flair at 63 is still a better in-ring wrestler than Sting is now. Some have even gone as far as saying if Hogan was healthy, he'd be better to. Maybe this is from the lax schedule and Sting really doesn't have to workout as much as he used to or do the grueling schedule he would have had to do in WCW.

I read, in the book I mentioned, that Sting was giving some serious thought to jumping ship when WCW was killing WWF in the MNW. In his words, Sting was afraid if Bischoff wound up putting Vince out of business, Bischoff would have pulled the plug on WCW, leaving many out of a job. Bischoff's sole purpose for WCW at the time was not making his product better, but was to strictly put Vince and the WWF under.


The Most Stale Personality In WWE Today?:I guess you could say that Teddy Long is stale but I guess he can afford to be because there is very little for him to do except make the odd match. I actually want him to appear even less on my TV screen and maybe do away with this boring angle with Aksana. He isn't someone I notice and so he can be anyone or anything he wants to.

The person who appears a bit stale to me is The Miz. I maintain that Miz got his push in the first place as a result of pure dumb luck because there was pretty much no one ready to push at that point. That's not to say that he hasn't done some good work but the work done in recent times by the likes of Punk, Christian and Henry has been much better than Miz's work from 2009 to 2011 for which he was getting a lot of place. Once guys like Punk, Christian and even Rhodes hit their stride, The Miz got sidelined simply because these guys are more talented.

The Miz needs a change badly. He has two expressions at best, a mocking one and an angry one which makes him look more constipated than anything else. He is doing pretty much nothing in terms of feuds and his promos are boring the hell out of me because he has nothing to say. I get that WWE does not have much for him but still he should try to mix things up a bit. A face turn and a move to Smackdown would be highly recommended at this point.


How would I book a possible Austin/Punk feud?:CM Punk's self-righteous "I'm better than you because I'm straight-edge" gimmick has already been done,and IMO it's played out,and since Punk and Austin have on many occasions talked about how much they like each other's work and admire each other,it wouldn't make sense to go with an angle where they suddenly hate each other. Plus,for Austin to do what Jericho has already done would be repetitive. I wouldn't want Austin disrespecting Punk's beliefs because their feud won't be personal.

If I were to do it,I'd have a special Raw episode where Austin makes a return. Austin comes out near the end of the show and talks about how he misses the energy and the love he gets from the WWE fans. The fans obviously chant "ONE MORE MATCH! ONE MORE MATCH!" and Austin says that his neck's been feeling good for a while now and he thinks he really can do one more match. Then CM Punk's music hits. He comes out and they banter a little before Punk says "Let me get to the point. You're arguably the greatest superstar in WWE history,and I am the best wrestler in the world. How about we give the people what they want? Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. CM Punk at WrestleMania!"

Austin ponders for a bit,then says "If you want Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. CM Punk at WrestleMania,gimme a HELL YEAH!" *crowd goes 'HELL YEAH!'* "OH HELL YEAH! Now,normally I'd hand you a beer so we can have a toast,but considering you're straight edge and all,I'll just shake your hand." The two of them shake hands,Punk leaves the ring and Austin throws back Steveweisers to end Raw. Then in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania,they air videos showing Austin training and getting back into fighting shape,talking about his neck,etc. Meanwhile Punk does his thing,winning matches,doing a couple of promos about how much he respects Austin,but he wants to prove that he is better than Austin in the ring and at WrestleMania,he will. They have a couple of face to face confrontations where they try to verbally one up each other. Punk will say something like "You can train all you want,but the fact is that you haven't been in the ring for so long,and I'm in the best shape of my life. Frankly,I'm afraid you're going to be out of your depth at WrestleMania." Then Austin looks pissed and tries to go for the Stunner but Punk catches his leg and kicks Austin in the head. "Too slow,old man."

On the go home show,Punk is in a match with someone and pulls off the win,but when he turns around,Austin is there and boom,Stunner on Punk. "Looks like the rattlesnake's got some life in him yet!" and that sets the stage for WrestleMania.

A Faction In 2012:I would have like to have seen the faction of John Lauranitis, David Otunga, Mark Henry, Christian, and Alberto Del Rio to have been given the green light to flourish and grow into something big time. I am pretty sure everyone has seen the A-Team parody video they did on them, and calling them the Ace-Team would have been fantastic. With Big Johnny being the GM on both shows it would give them access and purpose to be in both shows at any given time. You could have Henry going after Punk on RAW for the WWE title and ADR going after Sheamus on Smackdown. Have Otunga and Christian team up and go after the Tag Titles or they could go after the US or IC belts. I think this group had tons of potential and could have been awesome.

Vince just doesn't seem to care for factions or stables anymore so I doubt we see anything different with them this year unless something just occurs outta the blue that really catches on and Vince can't ignore the success of it.


WWE's Spring Cleaning:
Evan Bourne - Don't really want him to be fired, but he's got two Wellness Strikes. Also, Bourne had a really prominent spot on the card. Releasing Bourne alone might mean they don't have to fire that many others, much like Edge's forced retirement did last year. Also I think releasing Bourne might be better for wrestling as a whole. He already has a huge indy fanbase, made it to the WWE himself, and now with WWE star power, Matt Sydal (or maybe rename himself "Evan B. Sydal") can return to the indies as a hero, and boost the name value of any indy promotion he wants to work for.

Sin Cara - Injury prone, failed pet project. He's not a "terrible wrestler" but the fact that he doesn't speak English is a huge communication issue in the ring.

The Great Khali - He's a celebrity in India, but he's not very mobile in the ring.

Hornswoggle - I liked him when he was Finlay's sidekick and Finlay used him as a weapon. He's best served as a sidekick, not as a main attraction. Put him with a heel wrestler, and he can be a devilish imp that does anything to help his man win. Put him with a face and he can help get them over, like he did with Titus O'Neil. However, Hornswoggle should always be the sidekick, not the main attraction. If they can't learn how to use him, they should just let him go.

'Yes Sir,We Promised You A Great Event...'

Over the many years of the WWE, many great, and talented superstars have come and go. Some rise to fame, and stardom, while others fall to only be a pleasant memory in the mind of WWE Fans every where. This list will countdown the 10 Superstars that I feel the WWE missed their chance with.

Rhyno:
It might be his lack of charisma, when compared to other, or the fact that WWE just thought that his mic skills didn't compare. Lets face it, Rhyno was around when a lot of competition was there. Triple H, Stone Cold, Rock, Jericho, Undertaker, Kurt Angle, and many others we're jumping to superstardom in the full swing of the Attitude Era. Rhyno had the body, and could pull off some decent matches in a time where decent matches were considered good. Rhyno looked the part, walked the part, but WWE didn't capitalize on what a mega star he could have been. TNA almost got it right. Rhyno will always be known as that "Gore guy."

Chris Masters:
He was big, he was muscular, he had the good looks. He was something straight out of a Vince McMahon wet dream. During his first run in the WWE, this young man was thrusted right into the main card. Did the pressure get to him? Drugs soon dragged him down, and he was released. Later he cleaned up his act and came back to what would seem like a successful run. However, he was used as a jobber, and would only really wrestler on the meaningless show, Superstars.It would be interesting to see if he signs with TNA or not.

Matt Hardy:
It is often thought, where would he be today, if he was made the Main Eventer in the WWE? Would he still be there? Would he have a better head on his shoulders? Regardless, the name Hardys have become controversial in the wrestling business. During the Attitude Era, a young, death defying team was taking wrestling by storm. The Hardy Bros. Matt and Jeff exploded on the scene, and both seem to be on the right one way track to super stardom. After years of ups and downs, they both just about found their way there. But Jeff would be the one that entering the ranks as Main Eventer, and world Champion. A rank Matt Hardy would, and never will leave to see. The Hardy story is a sad one. But would it have been different if Matt was made a star?

Raven:
What a character. Raven. The man of mystery. He had it all. He could have been huge. He could have been like Undertaker, Kane, Mankind. The many mysterious characters who came before him. I could watch him for weeks. Storylines that they could have done with him. It truly is a tragedy to see how Raven was used. Mainly as the Hardcore guy, who never really went anywhere.

Lance Storm:
I still get mad when thinking about how they didn't use Storm. This man was practically a world champion that walked in on them. Chris Jericho and Lance Storm. Should have been two of the biggest names in WWE history. They say he didn't have charisma. Bullshit. Lance used it to his gimmick, and got it over better then anyone else could. No wonder he ran off to other companies, because it's clear WWE doesn't know what a star is.

Ezekiel Jackson:
Everything he was supposed to be in 2011 they messed up and gave it to Mark Henry. In 2011 Mark Henry's persona fit the heel version of Ezekiel Jackson. The Personification Of Domination you can't give that to a face, that moniker belongs to a heel just like Hall Of Pain. Mark Henry dominated the Super Heavyweights all year and reminded me of when Zeke was doing the same things tearing people up then they have him start jobbing.

William Regal:
In the words of Zack Ryder "ARE YOU SERIOUS BRO!?" This guy has no World Title runs to his name. None? William Regal was, and is one of the best workers the WWE has ever seen. And as far as I know, he only messed up once. He's going to go down in History as one of the greats that should have been world champion. Like Mr. Perfect, Roddy Piper, Rick Rude, Owen Hart, and many more.

Muhammad Hasaan:
Muhammad Hasaan was a
guy at the potentital to be something big (even bigger then he was starting to be) a real monster heel for years to come and they flinch because of a stupid coincidence with the London bombing.



WWE should have sent him to Raw and he should have keep his gimmick and character the way it was. That or make him "injured" for a couple of weeks and have him comeback, not send him down to OVW and change what was the perfect gimmick. He got the axe because of what he was scripted to do.

But then again we now live in an idiotic era were people are losing their jobs when they scripted a wrestler to interrupt the national anthem to get old school heel heat because the National guard cried about it.

Colt Cabana:
 The one that CM Punk is always talking about. His best friend. Colt Cabana. And internet sensation. WWE had him in their grasps, and what do they do with all great talent they get? They let them fall. Anyone remember Scotty Goldman? Yeah, not a surprise, seeing how in almost 7 months he was used on TV like 4 times, tops. I wonder now if WWE knows how badly they screwed up. But it may not be to late, if they want, I'm sure WWE can get Colt Cabana back in there hands. Just don't screw up this time.

Vladmir Kozlov:
I know Kozlov was already in his late 30s by the time he got his break but he was this killer. I didn't hate putting him with Santino but they could have handled it differently. Instead of being Santino's comedy sidekick he could have been his hired muscle to protect him against Sheamus(whose face character is growing on me). Like during that tea party segment a couple years back in the UK Kozlov totally looked afraid of Sheamus, not like that Russian killer he used to be.

John Morrison:
 Morrison in 2009 was one of the most over and consistent guys in the whole damn company. Each week on Smackdown he would have classics for both the Intercontinental AND World Heavyweight Championships with the likes of Rey Mysterio, Jeff Hardy, Dolph Ziggler, CM Punk, and even Drew Mcintyre. His mic skills were actually decent that year as well, I thought they'd finally give him the strap in 2010 but they kept him in limbo that year instead of pushing him straight to the top. In 2010 he was pushed the exact same way as 2009, just with less title matches and the fact that he was on RAW rather than SmackDown. In 2011 it looked like he was finally getting that push but then out of nowhere he was demoted to jobber status when he should've been the top guy by now.

Ricky Steamboat:
They had him. They had the Dragon. They made the Dragon. And they let him go. Ricky was way before his time in the WWE. He was a God in a land of Cartoon characters. A little man in a land of giants. It wasn't his time yet, and the WWE missed their shot. Although they like to claim fame to Ricky, thats not true. It's the NWA who made this man. But in his short 3 years, he showed the world what he could do on a main stage, and his match with Randy Savage and WrestleMania III is still talked about to this day, and regarded as one of the best of all time.

Tag Team Division:
What the hell happened to the great tag teams of the past? Don't get me wrong, I love singles competition, but tag teams were super fun to watch as well. When Owen Hart and Yokozuna aligned with one another, as a kid I had no idea who could have beat those two. Or when Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage formed the Mega powers. Those were the days when tag teams could main event a pay-per-view. Now, it's complete shit and I literally have no idea who is a tag team and who isn't anymore. Tag Team Division needs to be rebuilt and the WWE needs to pick up the ball on this one.

Honorable mentions go out to Brian Kendrick, Paul London, Ken Kennedy, MVP, Dynamite Kid, Bobby Lashley, Chavo Guerrero, and more. Thanks for reading.

BONUS:
Big Plans For WWE Draft:This is pretty pointless since the Brand Split is over. But if I were WWE, I'd send the Miz and Cena to Smackdown, hopefully with Cena as a heel after beating Rock at WM, and a face Miz. Give Miz some much needed promo time, let him feud with Cena the way the younger guys feuded with heel Rock in 02-03.


Basically this draft should be the thing that saves Miz and Cena from floating into the cesspool of irrelevancy.


Other than that, send a few young guys around for shock value. I think this draft should move Cena/Miz, but also create an atmosphere similar to the NBA/NFL where they bring up guys from FCW on live TV.


Cena/Miz + Mid Carders + Bringing up a few FCW guys should create an interesting show that benefits WWE in the long run. But then again, that makes too much sense so it probably won't happen.


'Yes Sir,We Promised You A Great Event'


The Opening Match Of WrestleMania:A World title match opening did work last year and could work this year, however I believe that the ideal opening match would be The Undertaker's Streak match


Now Undertaker's streak defense matches are usually very high on the card, and there is a low chance of it ever sinking from that spot as ling as the Undertaker is an active competitor. In all honesty almost every year Taker manages to put on a Match of the year candidate, overcoming ring rust and age to do so. The opener in my opinion should be one of the best matches of the night, a match that gets the crowd going and excited for the show. Now there is no guarantee that the man himself will even be competing at the show with a legend in the making main event on the card, but I hop he will pull through. Again the streak matches always keep people glued to their seats and remain there for the rest of the show. Now I know this has very little chance of happening due to Taker's prestige backstage but with a main event like Cena/Rock, I think it evens out the card nicely.


With Cena/Rock headlining the show, no match on the card will even come close to being as important. In terms of match quality a match may surpass the main event but that is not set in stone. Not even Undertaker's 20-0 match will be as hyped up as the main event. I am sure that the task of opening what looks to be one of the biggest events in WWE history has to go to the Deadman. Cody Rhodes, Daniel Bryan, and Randy Orton will all find themselves halfway through the card, a legend must be the one to start the big event out. I really doesn't matter who Undertaker is against or how big the pressure is, he always delivers since he is reliable when it comes to Wrestlemania.


Leave to the big boys to open the show, the others can be sandwiched between the streak and Cena/Rock.


Will WWE Do a Prank at WrestleMania?:I really doubt there will be any big pranks pulled, not at a Wrestlemania event. If this was an edition of Raw then I could see Santino getting a WWE Championship shot as a prank or something. He legit wins and then Vince comes out saying it was a prank, nullifying it from ever happening. This isn't Raw though. This is Wrestlemania. They cannot afford the risk of making the fans angry at the biggest show of the year. It would deal a significant amout of damage to their company reputation if they did a big prank that made the fans angry.


They could always swerve everyone after a year-long build by saying the Cena VS Rock match was an April Fool's prank. That would be a mistake though because it would make people so angry that riots would break out. It'd be funny for about 30 seconds and then they'd have 70,000+ angry fans to run from, not to mention the millions around the world who would also be upset. All for an April Fool's prank? Not worth it in the slightest. WWE are smart enough to not do a prank, let alone one that big, on their biggest show of the year.


They might do a random segment or something that contains the prank. Santino will do something random and silly backstage involving the prank in between matches, the people laugh for a few seconds, and then we move on to the next match. That's all I think we will see, if anything, prank related at this show. It's just not worth it to risk the fans getting upset over a prank. That's more like something TNA would do.


WrestleMania Show-Stealer:The show stealer at Wrestlemania 28 next month will be the Hell In A Cell match between the Undertaker and Triple H. This was a tough call, because I think that so far, it looks to be a superb PPV with quality from start to finish, with more matches yet to be announced. But the show stealer will be Triple H/Taker.


The Rock versus John Cena should be an epic match up, possibly one of the highest profile and most anticipated matches in the history of Wrestlemania. But after a year of hype and anticipation, they will be hard pressed to live up to the anticipation this match has generated over a twelve month span. It will be awesome, and I'm really looking forward to it. But it will be upstaged.


I think that Punk/Jericho may be the most technically sound match of the evening, and it will be nice seeing the gold around Jericho's waist again, but I don't think this match has generated the extent of interest that the WWE thought it would.But Undetaker & HHH are experienced and I know they would put up a wrestling clinic.


I'm loving the other announced matches. Bryan/Sheamus should be fantastic. Rhodes/Show will be solid as well. Would love to see Beth/Kharma in there, but I don't think it will happen. If not, the divas match will be typically meh. Team Laurinitis versus Team Long, or Kane/Orton (if these matches are indeed added) should all be terrific.


But I think the HIAC match steals the show. I think Taker's health is suspect, but I still think he has ability to give it his all for one huge match up, and with his alleged new look, he should be creepier and more eerie than ever. Triple H can definitely still go, and I think he will be more than motivated to bring it on the grandest stage of them all. Both of their previous matches were entertaining, especially last year, and I think both men will dig in deep to outshine their effort of last year.


And, for the first time ever, I think the legendary streak ends this year. I hope I am wrong, but for the first time, I am starting to believe that Taker is ready to hang up the boots for good, and I think he won't have the streak ended by just anyone. I'm not so sure that Triple H will fall victim to Taker for a third Wrestlemania loss, and I think this outcome will shock those in attendance and those watching on PPV. This will be a long, physical marathon, and the shock of the finish, combined with the effort of two aging veterans, will make this one the show stealer of the evening.


Should The WWE Annually Book A Wrestlemania Match A Year In Advance?:I don't think it's a good idea to book a match a year in advance. I think WWE did it with Rock/Cena so people wouldn't get too upset with the fact that the Rock would be gone again so fast after last year's Mania. People have known all year to expect the Rock back, so for that reason it was a good idea to announce it last year.


It's something that, if done regularly, would put too many shackles on the writers and the wrestlers. For instance with John Cena this year, he's had to work all year the safest he's ever had to work and the quality of his matches basically sucked because of it. Not bashing Cena here--and he's been great on the mic lately--but his matches for the past year have not been good. I think a big reason for that is because WWE has been playing it safe so he wouldn't get hurt for WrestleMania and the Rock. They promised their fans Rock/Cena, and not delivering on that would have been a HUGE hit against them. Cena's work with others suffered because of it.


A year out is just too much time.Injuries could happen so that alone should be enough reason not to do it. The Rock having not wrestled in years justified the announcement for the match with Cena, but most matches won't have that aura to it. Even if Steve Austin decides to wrestle next year, it wouldn't have the same impact to be announced this soon because they just did it for Rock.


Any match, no matter how big, shouldn't be announced for WrestleMania until at least Royal Rumble is over.

Yes Sir,We Promised You A Great Event....

Can Hulk Hogan ever return to the WWE? I'm sure the WWE would love to have Hulk Hogan come back, but they're in a position where they can easily go on without him. Knowing the Hulkster, if he wanted to return to the WWE. He can't come back and expect to do whatever he wished to do. Just because he is Hulk Hogan. Simply put, he won't have the leverage he once had before. Hogan is big, but he is no longer bigger than the WWE. If Hogan wants to return to the WWE for whatever reason, he would have to do it at his own expense. He won't be able to go backstage to the WWE and request a program with whoever he wants or be the hero in the ring anymore. He would have to take up more of a backstage role and help younger guys break into the Main-event scene. But I doubt that would be the case, Hulk is happy in Impact Wrestling and loves the role he places for that company. I'm sure he would not trade that in for another spot in the limelight again with the WWE.


Brian Kendrick Return? I'm ecstatic at the news. Sure, it's not confirmed yet, but I'm a huge Brian Kendrick mark. His run as The Brian Kendrick got me interested in wrestling again, he was that good. With the right gimmick, he can be extremely charismatic on the mic and can go with the best of them. Saying that though, I was always surprised at how the WWE pushed him in the first place. He seemed like a future endeavoured star just like London. They took a risk with him, though and it paid off. I can see why they would do the same the second time round, especially if Kendrick has got clean, drug-wise.


Saying that, though, with the rumoured cruiserweight show on the WWE network being planned, they could (and should) center the division around him. He has the experience in an inexperienced world. What more could you need? Kendrick as a heel feuding with likes of Tyson Kidd, Trent Baretta and Curt Hawkins would be an IWC's dream. That said, the ICW would have to only include me.


Speaking of Kidd, Baretta and Hawkins, he could form a tag team with one of them. A 2012 version of Londrick would do wonders for the tag division. Imagine Baretta and Kendrick versus The Usos and Primico. They'd be extremely fun matches to watch and get the crowd invested in.


Should WWE have wrestlers only meet once before a big match?:Pro wrestling is all about conflict and drama, and programs built around guys not interacting with each other, will have neither. Should they wrestle each other before a huge event? No way, because it can give away too much of what fans are going to see during the big match they are hyping. But they need to interact.


This past Monday was a great example. Cena and Rock were both in attendance, and both cutting promos (albeit musically) for their match at WM, and it just didn't work as well as weeks prior when both men were in the ring together. Even if they aren't laying hands on one and other, there is a palpable tension when you have to wrestlers that are supposed to hate each other in the ring together at the same time. Guaranteed the last Raw before WM they will come to blows, just so people see them in the ring together, and to really push the fact they are in a bitter feud.


Jericho and Punk are sort of in the same boat. Just by nature of having CM Punk in a match at this point in his career and with his character, you can't not have him actively engaging his opponent, it would really kill a lot of what gives him his momentum and gets the fans behind him. If Jericho were to have come back, and never had any real encounters or one on one moments with Punk, the match, and his return would have fallen flat (his return already has in a lot of ways).


The key is to keep the wrestlers together, without giving away any elements of what will be their big time match, while keeping the drama high and the feud personal.


Will we ever see another Kane or Undertaker?:Maybe.


Kane and Taker, or Glen Jacobs and Mark Calaway, are both excellent performers. Long before the Kane character came along, Calaway was playing one of the silliest characters ever. He was a dead guy who drew power from an urn. It was very much a character from an age of wrestling we don't see much from anymore. He took that and played it essentially his entire career and will be remembered as one of the 5 greatest performers of all time. He was so good you he made you forget he was playing a ridiculous character.


The Kane character was an offshoot of the Undertaker. If I'm not mistaken when Calaway was in WCW his name was Cain the Undertaker. Jacobs was never as good as Taker but he was good in his own right. Hell he played a deranged dentist at one point. His character wasn't always as over the top as Taker's had been in the past but he still played it well.


Thats why I say maybe. In today's business the characters and gimmicks aren't as cartoonish and out there as they were 25, 30 years ago. It would take someone who was not only good in ring, but someone who could play the character well to pull it off.


Heat on Bicshoff For Borash Comments?:Borash has been there from Day 1 in TNA, he has done a hell of a lot of work for the promotion since it has begun, and I certainly think Bischoff is being unprofessional here, if indeed he isn't just working us.


TNA could survive quite easily now without the input of either Borash or Easy-E, but if Bisch is indeed angry at Borash for claiming he is the "boss" in TNA then the matter should have been dealt with in private, rather than going on FB and running his mouth like a gossip-spreading teenager. Very immature from Bischoff.


Borash isn't the boss of TNA, and shouldn't be claiming that he is- IF that is true. How reliable is a barman as a source of information? It's pretty likely Borash would have been drinking if he said that while in a bar- perhaps he was attempting to impress a girl or was just a bit drunk? Whatever, its not like he insulted Eric Bischoff's family or took a piss in his Dad's mouth is it?


Borash, stop pretending you are a big cheese to get a blowjob, and Bischoff....just fucking grow up.


Mr Anderson Returns:Happy to see Ken Anderson back, was a huge fan of his when he was in WWE as Mr. Kennedy, after his initial debut in TNA I thought the dude was the best thing going in professional wrestling and to an extent at the time, he could have been, but after Justice later in the year and a couple injuries, his forgettable reign as TNA World Heavyweight Champion and not to mention his nowhere heel turn to join Immortal, I am hoping TNA are going to use Mr. Anderson to the full extent of his capabilities.


The angle with AJ Styles, Daniels and Kazarian is boring me though. AJ Styles and Daniels need to be isolated from one another because at this point they've ran through the book as far as storylines go. Adding Kaz makes no difference. Hopefully Anderson can kick it back into gear and make what I imagine is going to be a VR or Lockdown match involving the four interesting to watch.

The End...

Please Comment,BYE ]]> mizisawesome12345 http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/community/entry.php?41104-Yes-Sir-We-Promised-You-A-Great-Event Yes Sir We Promised You A Great Event....... http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/community/entry.php?41037-Yes-Sir-We-Promised-You-A-Great-Event Fri, 09 Mar 2012 14:58:35 GMT Yes Sir We Promised You A Great Event......

The Actual Jobbers:I've noticed over the last few years that you constantly have main-eventers or big stars jobbing to each other. It makes RAW interesting, but then you end up losing all of these huge opportunities for great matches in the future because we've already seen them. For example, Punk vs. Cena was a great angle last year, but in the back of my mind it was kinda spoiled because I had seen Punk (Back when he was a three-time world champion) job to Cena in less then a minute on RAW a few years ago. I think that jobbers should be ACTUAL jobbers; save the top stars to face each other on more rare occasions - it makes their confrontations way more special.

Who's going to be that one suprise release this year?: I know reports are stating Mark Henry, and Evan Bourne is on his final warning under the terms and conditions of the wellness policy, however I don't believe Henry will leave WWE for TNA because he knows well they may use him as an upper midcard performer most of the time, but that is a lot better than going to TNA, being a main eventer and being paid half of what you get at the top.

Bourne has surely learnt his lesson by now. He is my second favourite to get the boot, but something tells me he'll wise-up. Seeing as they've done a report on WWE.com about him and reinserted his image back into the RAW intro, Bourne has a future yet with the company.

Then onto one of my own favourites, Mr. Mistico, Sin Cara. Although I love Sin Cara and believe anyone who watches his matches just so they can pinpoint when he doesn't land something correctly, to say "botch" are fucking morons, he isn't one of the most favourable guys in the company. He was the first talent in years Vince had to acquire from another company, he didn't make a great debut to begin, reaction was in-between, he got suspended, came back and had a decent feud with the now Hunico, before getting injured.

WWE are probably running short on patience with him to begin with. So unless he has improved, comes back and does a u-turn I could see them pulling the plug on their Sin Cara project. They've enough talent to continue appealing to the Hispanic market anyway, with the likes of Del Rio, Mysterio for another couple of years, Hunico and another couple guys down in development. Reports still claim Averno is awaiting to be called from CMLL. But this is all hypothetical anyway, so I'll choose Sin Cara. Still love him though.

Which Mid-Carder would I like to see pushed to the Main Event?:It would be a large injustice to the fans, Santino and everyone else if Santino wasn't pushed into the Main Event at some point in the near future. He's so fucking entertaining its stupid. His matches, his promos, his character, all perfect.

Wade Barrett when he returns from injury better be pushed to the main event as quick as possible, he was on a roll before injury, and due to his injury the MITB match at WM28 was pulled. He's been at the top of his game for the past few months, and is better suited to step up than most other guys on the roster.

Thanks For Reading!

Cody Rhodes should be a main event champion within the next year or so. He's got all the tools needed, and there's honestly no reason the WWE shouldn't push him at this point. ]]> mizisawesome12345 http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/community/entry.php?41037-Yes-Sir-We-Promised-You-A-Great-Event Yes Sir,We Promised You A Great Event: WM 28 Card http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/community/entry.php?40872-Yes-Sir-We-Promised-You-A-Great-Event-WM-28-Card Sun, 26 Feb 2012 05:14:04 GMT Hey guys I am back with another blog before I start here is a bonus paragraph on Kane: *Is Kane Done?:*Well its true, the character has reached... Hey guys I am back with another blog before I start here is a bonus paragraph on Kane:

Is Kane Done?:
Well its true, the character has reached its end storyline wise. I think it was a great send-off just that Cena shouldn't have been the one to do it. We all know he has history with Undertaker and that would've been the more likable choice but I wish it would've ended in a more concrete way with Cena. How is an ambulance match going to end someone's career? It should've been a buried alive match imo. That has some sense of finality. Anyway, I think they might bring Kane back to work with other already established guys that have nowhere to go character wise like Randy Orton. He could keep pushing people to embrace the hate and when its all said and done WWE can find a guy worthy enough of putting the final nail in Kane's coffin. My pick is Sheamus. Hes one of the top faces and we all know hes going to win the heavyweight title so facing an established heel would really take things to the next level for him.
Now The moment You have all been waiting for................

Yes Sir,We Promised You A Great Event!

WWE Tag Team Title Match?:
Ever since Air Boom had to disband, I have had my doubts that a Tag Team Championship match at Wrestlemania would even be worth it. Epico and Primo are hardly a team the fans are getting behind. Who would they even face? The random pairing of Kofi and Truth? Ziggler and Swagger? Hunico and that other guy who both suck? Or THE USOS? I cringe at the thought of Hunico's team or the Usos even stepping one foot into a Wrestlemania ring. Without Air Boom the tag team division cannot provide anything worthy of putting on a Wrestlemania card, unfortunately.

They could always do a tag team match as a dark match. Kofi and Truth VS Epico and Primo, perhaps. It's something that could get the live crowd ready and excited for the real show, and it wouldn't take up time on the main card from matches that the fans actually do want to see. They could throw in Ziggler and Swagger I suppose and make it a triangle match like the threadstarter suggested, but Ziggler and Swagger are both likely to be in the MITB ladder match. Why put them in a tag team match too? I just don't see the point in having a tag team title match at all this year due to the fact that too much damage has been done to the division. If Air Boom were still together then things would be completely different. A strong title defense for them could have been a cool moment.
Johnny Ace vs Teddy Long?:
Anyways. I think this could be an interesting route for WWE to take, but they need to go about it the right way. The two GM's can face each other in a battle for brand supremacy (in every sense of the term, actually) if the angle of JL seeking a dual branded GM spot continues. They should pick representatives though because JL VS Long would be worse than all those Michael Cole matches last year!

They could each pick guys to help them. Why not go with their respective assistants? David Otunga with Laurinaitis in his corner to represent Raw VS Santino with Long in his corner to represent Smackdown, the winner's GM will run both shows. I think it would be the best way to go about it, from a kayfabe'd standpoint. Orton from Smackdown for Long and then someone like Del Rio, Miz, or even better Christian for JL would be good. In the end JL will likely win and Otunga could even screw JL out of being the GM with some type of legal loophole or something. I'd much rather see Otunga in his lawyer character in the GM spot anyhow. Long is never working a match and nobody wants to see a Laurinaitis match, so having their assistants work the match is a much better idea.
Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan?:
This looks to be an awesome match and I'm sure it will have an excellent string of promos leading up to it. Sheamus is probably going to walk out with the belt and start a run with his third world title. I'm withholding my full prediction until Wrestlemania week, but I am extremely excited that we are probably getting this match now. I just hope Sheamus wins and that it does NOT open the show. I disagreed with Edge VS Del Rio opening the show last year for the World Heavyweight Championship and am adamantly against WWE going that route again. It's not the end of the world if they do, but it would be a very bad call. A huge match like this belongs near the end of the show.
It is doubtful that this would close the show with matches like Cena VS The Rock, Trips VS Taker 3, and Punk VS Jericho all on the same card. I expect it to at least be in the second half of the evening though. Opening the show with a World Championship match would be an insult to both the title and the Royal Rumble, like last year's opening match was, due to the fans deserving better than that. Sheamus didn't defeat 29 other guys to OPEN Wrestlemania, he won the Rumble to get a main event match. Now, that doesn't have to mean closing the show, as we have seen numerous Rumble winners not close Wrestlemania. He deserves to not have to go on first though. So does the World Heavyweight Championship.

WWE obviously realized they messed up by not giving us their anticipated United States Championship match last year. We will now be getting it in World Heavyweight Championship form. Bryan gets to live his dream of having a world title match at Wrestlemania while Sheamus gets a chance to begin a 3rd world title reign, this time as a rising face. If we indeed get Sheamus VS Bryan and Punk VS Jericho as our world title matches then we are in for a treat at the biggest show of the year. An early prediction of mine shows Sheamus winning, but anything could change between now and April. I can't wait to see where they go from here.

Triple H vs Undertaker?:
Man, 'Taker vs Triple H III is going to be huge. It's going to be a very special match, between two excellent performers and the Hell in a Cell stipulation adds to it immensely. This is exactly what matches like the Hell in a Cell were made for -- to be the final blow-off, the ending to a feud. All the history between Undertaker and Triple H, two other WrestleMania matches and countless other things, end at WrestleMania 28. Tonight on Raw completely changed my expectations for the match, it kicked everything into high gear. It genuinely got me excited for what will be a match of the year candidate, with ease. With a build like this, we as fans are in for one of the most emotional matches ever. Those two men will go out and tell a story, a story fittingly ending at WrestleMania.

I don't want the streak to end, but I cannot say for certain that it won't. Triple H has proven to be nearly too much for Undertaker, who made it out of WrestleMania last year by the skin of his teeth. The two masters of the Hell in a Cell match will go at it, to put an end to it all -- from a storyline standpoint, the WWE will never have had a chance such as this one to end the streak. The only question left, in all of this, is whether or not they will pull the trigger on it or if Undertaker will ride off into the sunset with a 20-0 record, a feat forever unmatched. The pipe dreams of a young up-and-comer ending the streak needed to be put to rest, that was never happening, but if anybody was ever going to do it, Triple H is the guy. I think about it like this: I don't want the streak to end, but what's it worth once Undertaker retires? His legacy is set in stone, he's always going to be one of the greatest to ever step into the squared circle, there's no debating that.

I'm not saying the streak will end, not by a long shot, but if there ever was a time to do it, it's now. They've built Triple H up to be the man that put 'Taker down, but 'Taker wants to prove him wrong. The story writes itself either way, really. The two men will rise to occasion, as is expected from two future hall of famers, but what happens in the match is what everybody is looking forward to. Can the streak survive? Who knows. All I know, is that this match may very well steal the show. Rock and Cena may be the main attraction, but Undertaker vs Triple H III is going to be historic, one way or another, with the streak coming out alive or dead.
Rock vs Cena?:
I knew this day would come. A lot of people doubted it, called me crazy, but I knew even years ago that one day...one day The Rock was going to come back for at least one more match. There was just no way that Wrestlemania 20 was going to be it for him, I always knew in my heart that at some point Vince would be able to finally convince The Rock to come back for one more match...and it's finally happened. To call this a dream match isn't even remotely fitting, this is a dream match to end dream matches and without a doubt is the single biggest and most important wrestling match in the entire WORLD for the last 10 or 20 years. We may have to go all the way back to Hogan vs. Andre for this one people. I can't even imagine how many people are going to be at Wrestlemania for this match next year, but I expect more attendance records to be easily broken.
12 months is a long time to build, but being an old school fan I'm always down for a good, long, well-built program. This is the biggest money match wrestling has had in many, many years, and as an avid fan of the industry I haven't been this excited in a very long time. It's finally happening, and damnit, it's going to be fucking amazing. I may even have to actually make the physical trip to see this match in person.

That is all folks see you next time!
Thanks for reading

]]> mizisawesome12345 http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/community/entry.php?40872-Yes-Sir-We-Promised-You-A-Great-Event-WM-28-Card <![CDATA[The Triple H "Burying" Myth]]> http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/community/entry.php?40856-The-Triple-H-quot-Burying-quot-Myth Sat, 25 Feb 2012 14:37:28 GMT Plenty of people believe that Triple H buries people to no end and is the worst "burying" culprit of all-time. However, many people such as myself don't believe this to be true, and see it for what it is: a phony myth created and pushed largely by ignorant and angry IWC members. I created this thread to address this myth and have a discussion about to hopefully talk some sense into people, and see if anyone actually has any kind of valid counterargument.

First off, let me say this: I understand that Triple H beats a lot of people, and probably has buried some in the past. But here's the thesis of this thread: Triple H has not buried any more people than any normal superstar of his caliber/position in the company as a top guy.

In order to prove my point, I'll attack the main argument of the believers of the myth- they believe that Triple H never puts anyone over and is constantly burying people in his way. Well, that's obviously not true, and I'll give you plenty of examples to support my claim. Let's start this off by taking a look at some of the past Wrestlemania's:

Wrestlemania 20- put over/lost to Benoit
Wrestlemania 21- put over/lost to Batista
Wrestlemania 22- put over/lost to Cena
Wrestlemania 23- (injured, did not compete)
Wrestlemania 24- put over/lost to Orton
Wrestlemania 25- defeated Orton (but he built up Orton during the preceeding feud, as Orton had dominated him, attacking him at his home; plus, Triple H was the face- it made sense for him to finally notch the win)
Wrestlemania 26- defeated Sheamus (but eventually lost the feud to him culminating at Extreme Rules, leaving after that due to an injury at Sheamus' hands)
Wrestlemania 27- put over/lost to Undertaker
Wrestlemania 28- most likely will put over/lose to Undertaker

So, on the biggest stage of the year, Triple H has largely (if not entirely) put over guys, often younger, and made them look great the past several years. A lot of these were title matches that HHH lost to his opponent, making them look like gold in the process. He & HBK gave Benoit a career-defining moment, he cemented Batista as a bonafide main-eventer, he tapped to Cena, he put over and added credibility to Orton in a surprise loss, he was involved in high-profile, elevating feuds with Orton & Sheamus that made them look great and they came out of them for the better, and, most recently, has added to the legacy of Undertaker's streak, providing him with yet another credible win (and he's most likely about to put him over for the third straight time at Wrestlemania this year, making 'Taker 3-0 against HHH at WM all-time).

Next, let's take a look at all of the talent that Triple H has personally built up over the past several years. Here are just a few BIG names that come to mind:

Batista-Groomed him in Evolution until he was ready to go over him in a high-profile, elevating feud. Helped him get to where he eventually got. Gave him A LOT of credibility. Personally showed him the ropes of the business, aiding him in getting to the top. Batista has stated in the past that Triple H & Flair were INTEGRAL in the success of his career.
Randy Orton- See Batista.
John Cena-Although they didn't interact that much, Cena always seemed to get the edge more often than not, often getting the wins. Furthermore, Cena ALWAYS looked good. Got a key win against HHH during his more formative main-event years at WM22 as previously mentioned with a very impressive submission victory.
Sheamus-Although he was beaten at 'Mania, he eventually took out HHH at Extreme Rules, winning the feud, gaining championship credibility, & putting HHH on the shelf for quite some time in the process. HHH has been a key supporter of Sheamus behind the scenes as well, aiding him in getting to the top.

I could go on and state more names, and I could probably even go on further in my argument, but I believe I've stated enough solid evidence in this opening post. Triple H often gets a bad rap for this "burying" myth, but it's simply unfounded and baseless. Like I said, he's definitely not done it any more than anyone else, like the Rock, Stone Cold, Brock Lesnar, HBK, Bret Hart, Goldberg, and pretty much every other top guy. And don't even get me started about TRUE buriers like a Hogan or Nash. Guys like that are in their own class. Triple H is no where near those guys and has the best interest of the business/the future of the WWE in the forefront of his mind at all times because he truly loves it. That's why he's currently a WWE executive in charge of scouting talent, because he wants to aid the WWE in its future.

The whole Triple H "burying" myth is just that- a myth. ]]> mizisawesome12345 http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/community/entry.php?40856-The-Triple-H-quot-Burying-quot-Myth Yes Sir, We Promised You A Great Event http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/community/entry.php?40855-Yes-Sir-We-Promised-You-A-Great-Event Sat, 25 Feb 2012 14:32:14 GMT Brian Kendrick Gone From TNA?:I had a feeling that this was going to happen because he hasn't been on TV and they are bringing these new X Division guys to work with Austin Ares. I don't think the fans ever got behind Kendrick. He had a gimmick that was so hard for the fans to buy into. I am sure the TNA office looks at him and wonder why he wasn't getting over as they thought. I think from the time he won the X Division title and after he lost it, I think they realize that they weren't going to use him a lot. Let's face it, nobody was talking about him for a while.

I bet there will be reports that he asked to be release because he knew they weren't going to use him or TNA felt after seeing him lose the title he was just not the guy for the company and probably will say he was too small for that company. I don't think he will be missed and can't say he will show up in WWE. I guess the only place he can go is ROH.

What if TNA Signed The Rock!?: I think it would be the biggest thing that TNA could ever do. The only time guys like Angle, RVD and Jeff Hardy only made outside media headlines is when they got arrested. The Rock would put a lot a buzz on that company, but if they could somehow get the Rock, they would still have the same management/writers that they have now. they would blow it and they would have him recreate 90's storylines.

It would be exciting when he could come in and battle Sting in a few PPV matches and Angle and RVD and those other guys (don't watch it, no clue what is happening on that cute little program), but at the end of the day, the same people who are running it. I could only watch a few weeks of it if it ever did happen...I can't take watching Hogan ripping off all the Rock's lines...they should try to keep Hogan away from all the good ideas they have!



Do Triple H's Critics Get To Him?:Here is what I don't get about Triple H's critics:

1) How could you say that his success comes from his relationship with Stephanie? It's not as if he was a talent less wrestler who got shoved down our throats like Cena when he first started getting his big pushed. He really is what he claims to be and other top superstars like Taker, and Hogan who have been in the business for decades will talk about how there is no one better to work with in the ring than Triple H. So it's not like his booking was unjust.

2) Why do people complain about him beating Punk and say he squashed Punk's momentum? If he didn't beat Punk, then it would hurt the HHH vs Taker feud for Mania. If HHH beat Taker til he couldn't walk away from the ring then him losing to CM Punk in his very next match would make it seem as if Punk would be able to beat the streak as well. Taker and HHH are the last of their kind, which is both part of the story and also true. Also Punk was at the beginning of his push. Why would he right away be able to suddenly take out the best wrestler on the roster and veteran, Triple H, just because he did a worked shoot? People complain about lack of credibility, but then get all pissed off whenever a seasoned veteran who doesn't need a victory beats a rising star. I'm tired of hearing "....doesn't need this/that". That logic has turned the U.S. and IC titles in accessories for developing future main eventers instead of a legit championship. That logic forces people who aren't ready yet into the main even/title scene. And since when does one loss bury someone's momentum? Punk lost momentum because he just got stale. He started off doing things new and differently, but then just kind of became repetitive.

3) How can you say HHH doesn't put people over and books himself to the top, when the guy is tied for most Wrestlemania losses? He had all this power and influence in the back and if the guy was as bad as you guys make him seem, would he have really let Chris Benoit win his first WHC in WWE over him and his best friend at the biggest event in wrestling? Or those times he lost to Cena at WM? What about when he turned jobber Orton into main event status Orton? What about when he let Batista go over him? Was he not one of the four contestants to be the first ever undisputed champion? What did he do there, bury the others? No, the underdog got it. Sheamus ring a bell? And then people say well he only gives a rub to his friends. So what if he is friends with some of these superstars. He is still putting people over. Who do Cena or Orton put over? nobody. What about Punk? Maybe his long time friend DB but nobody else. Hell Triple H was multiple time world champion before Cena even debuted, yet Cena passed him up in title reigns. Is that part of HHH's back stage politics? Letting young guys pass his record and possibly pass his freind Flair's record soon?

4) One of the most absurd was that HHH shouldn't have been champ after 2001. Why not? The guy was in tremendous physical condition. He had the in ring skills. He was a believable dominant champ. Triple H was never unbelievable as champ ever. he didn't become champ until he had been wrestling for several years, had feuded with other top guys and former champs, and completely changed his whole look and gimmick. Nowadays you just throw the belt on a guy because he had a brief case he won in a mid card ladder match, or because they need the belt to push themselves. Triple H has worked with everyone and can make a decent match with anyone. You could put him in the ring with Alicia Fox and Big Show at the same time and make the match look decent.

5) Just to ask to date the daughter of your boss, especially when your boss is VKM of all people has to take a lot of balls. And Vince even made them break it off at one point but he proved himself and they worked out. Do you think Vince is so stupid that he can't tell when someone is using him or taking advantage?

To be honest I think a lot of it is people trying to be cool and fit in by criticizing him. People feel they are clever for talking shit about him because it makes them feel like they have some kind of "inside" knowledge. Also, there are a lot of people who are just simply haters. There are certain people that, when they see someone succeed, have to talk shit and say they only got there because of *insert bs excuse*. Triple H is the perfect example of what a wrestler should be. He creates those moments, works great in the ring, understands the business, and knows how to adapt.

Rey Mysterio Reportedly in Hot Water With WWE:I know Rey has been super loyal to the WWE and has done a ton for wrestling as a whole. He is the most popular crusierweight there will most likely ever be. That said, I can see why management is pissed at him. From a buisness standpoint, Mysterio is really not that great of an investment anymore. They are paying the big bucks, but he only wrestles for a few months out of the year because he always get injured. I know that right now Mysterio still sells a lot of merch and is huge with the hispanic demographic, but eventually they will get to the point where it is not profitable to have the guy around. His positives are starting to get out weighted by the negatives. They will start to lose money and they will eventually cut him if he does not retire. Im not saying that it is the right thing to do to a guy who has helped the company so much over the yars, but it is a buisness and the bottom line is all that matters.

Jack Swagger: Do you ACTUALLY want to watch him?In the past I've liked Jack Swagger. When he was on ECW and had the cocky smile with an amateur-wrestling style I really liked the guy. I liked him when he won the MITB ladder match and defeated Jericho for the world title. However, as soon as he raised the title he didn't do his trademark arrogant smile, he did this generic angry-man face. He's had the same persona ever since. I understand that it was a way for fans to take him more seriously, but my god his character just became so boring... I understand that it's a wrestling program, but watching his dreary promos consistently just made me want to switch channels.

I understand that he's a good wrestler, has a good look, but I just don't enjoy watching him. I want him to do well because he works hard, but I really just don't enjoy watching him on my television set. We always talk about how we want wrestlers to have more tv time, do more exciting things to get us to watch the show, but sometimes you don't have to want EVERY wrestler to be on your show. At the end of the day, you can't force yourself to enjoy every wrestler, just because the IWC enjoys this mentality that every decent wrestler HAS to be pushed. I mean, the guy is the US Champ but WWE doesn't even do anything with him half the time. He has the 2nd most important title on RAW, but he didn't even participate in the Chamber or have a feud. He took on Justin Gabriel, who I like, but you'd expect that the US Champ is meant to have alot of focus, and the way WWE broadcasts him really is a reflection of WWE's faith in Swagger to actually interest or intrigue an audience. ]]> mizisawesome12345 http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/community/entry.php?40855-Yes-Sir-We-Promised-You-A-Great-Event
