Tickets go on sale after Summerslam. I'm seriously tempted. If I manage to get a job - not happening - during the summer then I'm going and that's all there is to it.

Have a look at what it was like live the other night :o.

[BBfan46]

Well it can't be any worse than WM27. What were they thinking?

Taker/Triple H next year or possibly Orton. I'd imagine it'll be he's last one so they'll want a big star.

[Iceman]

I knew he nearly botched it

[Ramsay]

that would of been sooooooo funny:joker:

No he wont, he's not back for a full time schedule and if does do any matches they'll be squash mathes or tag matches..... he wont in my opinion start coming back full time until at least January.

[Ramsay]

he used a trampoline..makes sense still cant wait to see him more though

One brogue Kick to that little **** and he'll be in a coma for a decade

How did you manage that? It's not on until next year.

And Rock won't be champ in the next three months. He probably wont even wrestle in the next twelve months.

Chris Jericho v Undertaker Save us from the streak
John Cena v The Rock PG v Attitude
Sin Cara v Mysterio You know you want to see that
Sheamus v Drew v Wade v Mason Ryan v Del Rio v Justin Gabriel First ever none American Money in the Bank ladder match!
Miz v Stone Cold One more time for Austin
Daniel Bryan v William Regal Apprentice v Master
Beth Phoenix v Natayla v Awesome Kong Women's Championship match
Booker T v JBL Just start of a Random fued with them where JBL is jealous Booker has the Announcement Job, Decent match it would be
Triple H v Shawn Michaels Neither of us are good enough to beat taker at Mania so we may as well try and beat each other match
Randy Orton v CM Punk v Edge v ChristianWWE title/Heavyweight unification match, Have Orton Winning it and Drew Cashing in from earlier in the Night to firmly cement his place as The Chosen One.

[bbfan1991]

Cena is going to get his candy ass wooped:dance:, regardless of the outcome of this match the kiddies will still go home happy and won't be upset...

Think HHH and Taker will have a third rematch (career vs streak) or Hell in a Cell?

[Ramsay]

dont want HHH Taker rematch at mania..summerslam will do

[Novo]

Same, Need a fresh face for Taker at Mania

[bbfan1991]

Maybe they could have Taker exact revenge on Wade Barrett for attacking him whilst the Nexus storyline was going on as that seems to be forgotten?

-- John Cena and the Rock took to their Twitters to talk about their match at WrestleMania 28. Cena wrote, "CeNation. I truly can not believe what happened tonight. Only in the WWE. WM 28. HERE WE COME!"

Meanwhile, Rock wrote, "TEAM BRING IT - Wrestlemania 28 Miami, FL. - The People's Champ...The People's City...The People's Wrestlemania. IT'S OUR TIME..."

[Ramsay]

vert tempted to go

[Iceman]

THE ROCK has finally announced his return to active wrestling — but it won't be for another year.

After The Great One interfered in the WrestleMania main event to cost John Cena his title match against The Miz, he appeared again on Raw last night in Atlanta to face off with the former champion.

Cena set the challenge and Rock accepted, but stressed that the bout would be set for WrestleMania 28.

WWE's showpiece event takes place in Dwayne Johnson's hometown of Miami, and there is already speculation that The Rock might be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame at the same time.

After Cena and Rock shook hands on the deal, they were attacked by The Corre, but between them they fought them off, each landing their signature moves on the hapless Wade Barrett and Heath Slater.

Fortunately the night was rounded off by Cena and Rock's historic declaration.

362 days to go. And counting...

Hall Of Fame Yes please

We'll see, Honestly i think it's a stupid idea on wwe's part to announce a match that won't happen for an entire year, Alot can happen over the space of a year which could mean this match not happening so i wouldn't get to excited.
If this does go down i can see wwe putting Cena over Rock as he is the guy at the moment much like Rock was when they put him over Hogan.

[Iceman]

Jesus a cohesive post :shocked:

[Stu]

Probably copy and pasted like some of his cohesive posts were proven to be in the past. Especially given how it's such a weird reply. The whole 'we'll see' makes absoloutely no sense following on from anything in that news story.

I'm almost convinced I saw that same post on the UKFF by another guy that was then later removed and he has an unused account over there.

The WWE announced on their corporate website at corporate.wwe.com that Triple H and The Undertaker were fined for a chair shot to the head in their match this past Sunday at WrestleMania XXVII. Here is the announcement from their site:

Pursuant to WWE's Concussion policy, the stunt of using a folded metal chair shot to the head is prohibited. Triple H and The Undertaker have both been fined for violating this policy at WrestleMania XXVII. WWE penalizes through fine and/or suspension for violation of this policy, which is unchanged and still in effect.

[Iceman]

The following are some new tweets from the official Twitter page of WWE Hall Of Fame announcer Jim Ross:

"@chestergabriel2 Taker's pretty banged up. He abused his own body in retaining the Streak at WM27 in a hellatious bout vs. HHH. Old School!"

"@AverageJoeArt Of course if WWE wanted me back full time I would glady return. Not likely to hapen. It's a total WWE call & not mine."

If Rock''s botches have anything to go by ( The failed hop up he tried to do on Raw a couple of weeks ago ) then if anything he is the Has been not Y2J.

7 years away.. exactly you would think he'd actually prepare himself to do a simple hop up but he ****ed it up.. Y2J has a better variation of moves then the Rock.. off course you are going to botch a few now and again ( not like he even botches that much anyway ) One simple move for the rock and he can't even doing it probably.. the only thing he has been good for since coming back is that Rock Bottom to Cena at WM and that's only because Miz retained.

[Iceman]

and what move did he botch actually? a flip that has nothing to do with wrestling? Yeah fair enough at least he gets his key moves done 100% of the time, shame it cant be said for Y2HasBeen.

Bet Miz had a little laugh to himself when he did that. " Is this guy suppose to be a legend... :crazy: " Y2J has and always will be a better wrestler then the Rock so your point is not even Valid.

I Never said Miz was better then the Rock... Grow some eyes when did i ever say that??? Wrestling ability the Rock is clearly better then the Miz but the Miz character has added new life into the WWE and has a hit out of nothing, Chris Jericho on the other hand i'd say beats the Rock hands down he's much more versatile in the ring just destroys Rock when it comes down to Move sets alone i find the Rock to predicable at times but Y2J can just pull anything out the bag at any moment.

Okay sorry did overstep th mark with the Miz maybe, I still think more people prefer The Rock as a Wrestler to Y2J, it's personal opinion though, I didnt like Y2J's "second coming" because I loved his first coming....

I've never really been a massive fan of the Rock.. Before the 2002 draft i was but after that i went of him completely.. just watching it growing up always thought the best three wrestlers were Kurt Angle, Chris Beniot and Chris Jericho.. i was always more interested in there matches more then Triple H, The Rock & Stone Cold.. just prefer their style a lot more.. Kurt Angle/Chris Jericho/Benoit - 2001 Era had some of the greatest matches i've ever seen to be honest

Im the opposite completely, I hate Rock and Austin but I recently started wathing from 1997 onwards and they were the best thing to happen WWF then.... as was Taz (they completely destroyed his career, he could have had great feuds with Angle, Y2J and Benoit) but in all honesty looking back The Rock did so much for the fans and the business (not saying Y2J didnt, just he did it to a different audience).. I was a Triple H mark and now im the opposite, I dont care about him all that much, I'm definitely only watching WWE for The Rock at the moment, because everything else in WWE is horrific.

The Midcarders right now are more interesting then some of the Main eventers notably Edge and Dolph Ziggler, i think WWE don't really know how to use wrestlers these days which is why we haven't seen Drew been given a push or anything lately.. think they had the Idea of making him Champion last year with all the Chosen One and hand picked by Vince comments but nothing seems to be happening with him.. Same with Swagger really don't think they are sure what to do with him.. i think it was Karl who said back in the Attitude days everyone fitted their roles perfectly and everyone was so different and had much better Gimmicks and storylines to work with but now the storylines seem to be repeating themselves every month.. Orton punting everyone in the head.. Wade and the Corre facing random superstars without any purpose.... Dolph v Edge, LayCool and Vicki, Etc it's like they are afraid of changing things.

[Iceman]

Agree completely, I swear it's the PG era that has done this.... look back to then you had the Hardcore Title (that suited about 10-15 wrestlers, you could mess around with who had it because it wasn't that prestigious), then you had the lower card who would be in the European Bracket which was fair enough (if they had this now Drew would have had a long reign, purely to promote Scotland) then you'd have the same we have now for the IC and US except you'd have more competition instead of feuds getting stale like Sheamus and Bryan.....

[Iceman]

Actually the more I think of it, the more I'm annoyed that they got rid of the European belt, there must be more Europeans there now than there ever was when the belt was active....

off the top of my head, Wade, Drew, Sheamus, Santino....I'd say there's a few more too.

[Stu]

He's a better wrestler then the Rock by a distance, One of the best along with Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit IMO
Jericho is a better wrestler, yeah, but Rock is a better worker. Just like Hogan is not really a talented wrestler but an excellent worker. Moreso than people give him credit for.

A worker is someone who can pop the crowd. Period.

I said " Y2J has and always will be a better wrestler then the Rock " and the post you Qouted as well. Never said anything about him being a better Worker the Rock can pull the fans round his finger after being gone for the best part of a decade.. don't know how many other wrestlers could do that but i don't watch wrestling to hear the Pops i watch wrestling to see great matches and IMO Chris Jericho has gave better matches then the rock and i don't think The Rock is dedicated to the Company as many people may think.

TNA Talents Hang Out w/ WWE Talents At WrestleMania


-- Ric Flair, Matt Hardy, Tommy Dreamer and Luke Gallows were visiting with the WWE crew after WrestleMania last night.

-- Former WWE talent Diamond Dallas Page, who was on hand for the WrestleMania XXVII festivities, left before the event started to fly home to deal with family matters.

[Novo]

After their match at WM, Stratus hugged Snooki and went to hug Morrison, but he had turned his back on her. He refused to listen to any of her suggestions and it hurt her feelings. Word quickly spread in the locker room, garnering heat.

While Morrison is considered a nice guy, he's not respected amongst his peers. This dates back several years due to his real-life relationship with Melina. Particularly, he lost a lot of respect for allowing Melina to engage in a sexual relationship with former WWE talent Dave Bautista (a/k/a Batista) while the two were dating. The former WWE Champion made no qualms of being intimately involved with Melina in his 2007 autobiography, Batista Unleashed. He wrote:

"My wife thought I was sleeping with Melina right off the bat, while we were still married. It wasn't true, but it did make me feel guilty about being friends with her.

"Since then, as I've said, Melina and I have gotten closer and our relationship has become physical. That's caused a bit of controversy, but I don't give a ****. She's my friend, and I love her very much."

Paul London and Brian Kendrick revealed many stories involving Melina and Morrison in their 2010 "shoot" interview, Brian Kendrick & Paul London's Excellent Adventure. London stated that Morrison is 'spineless' because he repeatedly permitted Melina to engage in sexual activity with outside partners while the two were dating. He added that Morrison would accompany Melina on dates with her partner of choice. Kendrick also claimed that he himself had been intimate with Melina.

The best bit is 5:15-

Cameraman - " The Rock stepped in "
The Miz - " He did? I don't even remember all i remember is pinning John Cena 1,2,3 that's all i remember, I remember walking out the WWE Champion "

-then points to Jericho-

" I don't know did you see? "

Jericho - " I saw it i paused it printed it out and made a t-shirt out of it "

We've now learned some more exclusive details on the live horse incident at WrestleMania 28. I never though I'd write that!!

According to our source, the horse was a 'Clydesdale'. Wikipedia says "The Clydesdale is a breed of draft horse derived from the farm horses of Clydesdale, Scotland, and named after that region." Our source says Triple H couldn't guide the massive animal away from the trap door, which had a casket (this would hold The Undertaker). That would then rise to the top of the stage during the entrances. According to the source, the horse fell through the stage with Triple H riding it and crushed the casket during the rehearsal. 'Taker was not inside at the time.

The arena was immediately cleared of staff members and rehearsal was canceled. We've been told that the horse was stuck for hours and almost had to be euthanized due to the extreme stress it had suffered. WWE crew members also had to dismantle the stage so the horse could be freed.

WWE management then made the call that it was not worth the risk and plans were scrapped.

[arsenalforever]

h3ceboa33GQ

He's got the Cool theme song

d4gqsJ3Fz1k

He's got the Cathphase

He's been champion for 5 months now. Yes he's not great in the ring (either was Cena a few years back). I think he's on his way to becoming the main guy.

[Stu]

Not a chance. It will simply never happen. He will transform into a face by Summerslam and eventually find his spot at the top of the midcard. I would be surprised if he ever won the title again, nevermind take over from a guy he couldn't possibly cross over into the mainstream or sell as much merchandise as.

[Ramsay]

appearantly all of wwe are very high on him atm so i wouldnt be surprised

[arsenalforever]

appearantly all of wwe are very high on him atm so i wouldnt be surprised

They are doing a good job with him and he's got the charmisa. I think he's not ready yet in ring skills but he's certainly over with the crowd

[Stu]

They're doing desperate with him. Until a few weeks ago he was getting the snot beat out of him every week. I like the guy but people aren't buying him as champion. He has bombed at it by all accounts. It looks good because he is cutting kick ass promos on TV but most of his segments loose viewers in the quater hour breakdowns - save for the ones with Rock and Cena in them.

[Shaun]

I'm only a casual viewer but he always seems like a joke character to me...

[Stu]

His become the darling of the old guard who want to oust Cena and crown a new face of the company but he is only being held in such high regard because of the dearth of good, young talent who could potentially step up.

The lad wouldn't have got a look in years ago. He's probably be going around the arena garage with a dustbin lid waiting for Crash Holly to show up with his hardcore title.

The bloke is absoloutely harmless looking. White meat, Real World alumni and about as intimidating as a chicken drumstick. Not exactly a perfect fit to carry on the title legacy.

[Novo]

I have never really been a massive fan of Edge.. only the Brood & Rated R Era.. lately as a face he's terrible so not really bothered it will make the Main event scene on Smackdown more interesting as now they will need to push a few superstars.

[Ramsay]

i liked the brood reference he made haha

[Novo]

Yes without a doubt, they are teasing his face turn early as well.. Last night on Raw when JR offered his hand he shook it and the week after wrestlemania Cena was saying Miz deserves respect for beating him etc, Champion since November 22nd as well, he has overtook Shawn Michaels on Days he has held the title just in one single Reign the guy is the best thing WWE right now to be honest I'd have gave him the World Heavyweight Championship as well when Edge left last night... Make him the undisputed Champion.

[Novo]

appearantly all of wwe are very high on him atm so i wouldnt be surprised

They all love him, would be very surprised if he lost the title anytime soon

[Stu]

Shawn had it for eight months between March and November of 96. And at that he is a long way off from being the guy with the longest single reign.

[Novo]

Shawn had it for eight months between March and November of 96. And at that he is a long way off from being the guy with the longest single reign.

I mean combined days, Shawn Michaels has 3 reigns = 140 days, Miz has just over 140 days now ( Think it was 140 days last night ) Maybe it's a Wiki **** up

http://i51.tinypic.com/zioa6p.jpg

[Stu]

Yeah, it's a wiki **** up. I have no idea how Shawn has less combined days when he had an eight month reign in 96 compared to Miz's current five month run.

No I see where you went wrong now. The 140 days listed for Shawn is just for his Montreal reign that took him into Wrestlemania XIV. He also has, amongst others, a 231 day reign from Wrestlemania XII to Survivor Series 96 when SID beat him for it.

Quite a bit to go yet for The Miz. I believe he would call that a REALITY CHECK :devil:.

[Stu]

Yeah I marked for The Brood pop.



More crazy Vince from Figure 4's Newsletter :


We noted last week the irony of "Wrestling" being removed from the company name on the weekend of WrestleMania, and in the past we've noted other terms that Vince McMahon finds undesirable. "Belt," for instance, is not allowed. Superstars do not win belts. They win championships. For a while he didn't even want the superstars to wear the championships around their waists, because, well, you wear a belt around your waist and this isn't your father's pro-rasslin where folks wear title belts.

This week we are going to look at a list of banned terms. Every now and then you'll hear "wrestling" uttered on WWE television, at which point some people will say this is proof that there aren't really any set rules about what you can and cannot say, and that perhaps people like Dave Meltzer and I are making this up. As a matter of fact, WWE has an information sheet that they send all over the world to folks who do international voice-overs in other countries, and it includes a list of "Incorrect Terminology," which is further identified as being incorrect via a bright red "X," and an accompanying list of "Correct Terminology," which is accompanied by a happy green check mark. The information sheet, titled, "The Language of WWE," reads in full:

The Language of WWE

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is a publicly traded entertainment company (NYSE: WWE) that creates and delivers a weekly action soap opera to its passionate fans.

WWE has been a recognized leader in entertainment for more than 25 years and has developed into one of the most popular and sophisticated forms of global entertainment today.

As a global entertainment brand, the language that we use when communicating on WWE is critical.

Please ensure that you are familiar and employing the below, effective immediately.

Let's take a look at these terms, shall we?

"Wrestling" or "Catch" is prohibited. Several European countries still use the 19th-century term "catch" to describe the art of pro-wrestling and "catchers" to describe wrestlers. Catch (as in "catch-as-catch-can") was a style of submission-based grappling practiced in Lancashire, England and later brought to the United States by immigrants in the mid-1800s. Many of the terms used up through the '90s, including "collar-and-elbow tie-up," have their roots in catch, and several MMA stars today, perhaps most notably Josh Barnett, claim their submission style is catch wrestling. "The Language of WWE" states that the following phrases are incorrect: "Wrestling is broadcast in 145 countries," or "Catch is broadcast in 145 countries." The correct terminology is: "WWE is broadcast in 145 countries."

"Sports" is incorrect. What is allowed is "Entertainment or Action Soap Opera." "Eg: WWE is exciting entertainment," or "WWE is an exciting action soap opera." It should be noted that "action soap opera" in the above example is also printed in bold, presumably to make sure that there is no confusion.

"Catchers or Wrestlers." Definitely banned. Incorrect examples are "Catchers are unique characters" or "Wrestlers are unique characters." You may only say "WWE Superstars." "Eg: WWE Superstars are unique characters." As is their Chairman.

"Athletes or Sportsmen." Banned. I will admit, I was surprised to learn that "athlete" is a banned term, if only because for years and years I have heard wrestlers and fans say, "It might be fake, but these guys are tremendous athletes." No longer can you say, for example, "WWE Superstars are brilliant athletes," or "WWE Superstars are brilliant sportsmen." Nope. You must call them, and I am not making this up, "Entertainers with tremendous athletic prowess." They even give an example: "WWE Superstars are entertainers with tremendous athletic prowess." What normal person in their right mind would ever utter a sentence such as that?

"Fight." Not allowed. You cannot say, "WWE's first fight of the night." You may say, "Match" or "Bout." "Eg: WWE's first match of the night" or "WWE's first bout of the night."

"Fighting." "The fighting was enthralling" is ixnayed. OK, however, is the term "action." "Eg: The action was enthralling."

The printout concludes with the following three "Key Soundbytes":

* WWE is pure entertainment

* WWE is an action soap opera

* WWE Superstars are entertainers with tremendous athletic prowess

[Stu]

A major tribute to Edge took place after the SmackDown! taping in Albany, NY last night. I was there live and this was simply amazing to watch. Here is my report:

As SmackDown! ended, the entire WWE locker-room came out to the top of the stage as Edge stood in the ring. First, The Big Show came down the ramp and hugged Edge. He was then followed by Chavo Guerrero, Rey Mysterio and Christian who was already in the ring. They all hugged him and shook hands. All of them were crying at this point. It should be noted that these were his best friends within WWE.

Triple H’s music then hit and he embraced in a long hug with Edge, at least two minutes without letting go. The other guys continued to hug as well, all crying. The rest of the SmackDown! roster stood on-stage clapping with some tearing up.

As the WWE locker-room headed to the back, Edge began to follow. The WWE locker-room stopped and signaled for him to get back in the ring and soak it up.

Edge then gave a long speech, thanking the crowd, WWE universe, truck drivers, ring crew, creative team, cameraman, announcers, catering. etc etc. He mentioned people by name (Brian (Gerwirtz), Vince, etc)

Edge said he is happy he got to say goodbye in Albany because it’s the place where he won his first championship. In fact it was in a cab in Albany where Edge came up with the nickname Edge.

Edge thanked Kane, saying he’d break kayfabe and would probably take some heat for that. He thanked Christian and Kane as his closest friends in the business and said he loved them to death.

Edge thanked Lita and said they’d had some great times together. He even joked to the fans that they needed to get their minds out of the gutter when it came to Lita “even though we really did do it.”

Edge said he was going home for a vacation and to spend time with his two dogs. The crowd laughed. He was very emotional during this promo.

There was a large “Hall of Fame” chant. He said he hoped to be in there one day and then said “I think I’m done… you’ve probably heard enough”. The crowd wanted more though.

Edge went and hugged his mother and then every single fan at ringside. Awesome way to end SmackDown! although none of this will air.

WWE cameras were filming this so it may end up on WWE.com. Take it from me as I was there live – this was very emotional.

WOW. Can't wait to see that.

[Iceman]

he has tons of respect for Lita doesnt he?

[BBfan46]

Is anyone else concerned about the lack of potential competitors for Undertaker at WM?

The original plan was John Cena but clearly that's not happening. So we're left with Triple H, which is apparently going to happen at SummerSlam.

and since it's his 20th it'll be a big star. Wade Barrett? No, just no.

[Iceman]

I just watched that video and cried like a baby.....

[Stu]

The speech on Raw really got to me. Especially the bit at the end where he said 'so thank you'.

Hope the SmackDown one is put online in better quality by WWE.

He is really the first big name to retire that I grew up with from the start. Emotional stuff.

Same here, I'm just glad I got to see him wrestle live, at least with others (The Rock, Austin) there's always that possibility of 1 last match.... god I still cant believe it.

[Stu]

I saw him team with HBK and Jericho to face Evolution at the Dublin show back in 2004.

Awesome stuff. What a mix, what a match.

Makes you wonder if it would have been Miz v Cena v Morrison at Extreme rules if Morrison hadn't of said anything negative about Trish, R Truth just seems like such a random superstar to put into the title picture right now

FORMER WWE Smackdown head writer Dave Lagana has branded WrestleMania 27 a success — but only if you were looking to see an 'entertainment' show, and not a wrestling event.

Coming in the same week as the company officially dropped the word 'wrestling' from their name — becoming simply WWE rather than World Wrestling Entertainment — Lagana granted an exclusive interview to SunSport.

Speaking on Rob McNichol's One Sided Ring Podcast he told us: "For the look, the slickness and the overall presentation, I thought it was a very good entertainment show.

"If you bought the PPV for wrestling, you did not get a lot of that. Vince McMahon's not selling you wrestling any more, people, he's selling you entertainment.

"I thought all the finishes were really good. That's why I give the show a thumbs-up. Certain things didn't feel like Wrestlemania, but all the finishes made sense and they were very creative.

"I thought Cody and Rey was really good. I liked Punk and Orton too. The one thing I didn't like was the really good spot where Randy's knee gave out, as they did it on the Monday before.

"But I thought it was a one-match show, as far as 'WrestleMania-quality' matches, and that was Taker and Triple H.

"I thought the finish of the show was a tad disappointing, especially as you paid $65 to see a Cena-Rock confrontation and to see them go at it, only to find out the next day - for free - that they'll fight a year from now."

As someone who was involved in the creative process for seven Wrestlemanias, Lagana's insight into the construction of this year's show is fascinating.

He says that he thought the event was lacking several ingredients which stopped it being a classic.

Lagana added: "This year's show really missed Money in the Bank and Shawn Michaels. Those two things not being on the show really hurt the overall wrestling quality of WrestleMania.

"Pulling Daniel Bryan from the show hurt too, it just felt that at the end of the day it felt like the matches were all muted. It felt like something you would see at a Smackdown, or even a house show.

"Maybe they wanted to mute everything down so the Taker match would feel bigger, I don't know what the intention was, but the end result was a show that, when you look back, might be the most disappointing WrestleMania since WrestleMania 15.

"This show was definitely not on a par of, say, the last eight Manias."

[Iceman]

Just on a side thought from that should we move this thread?

Should we change it to WWE - All Things Entertainment ???

[Novo]

Read something about how people were told to take down their Zach Ryder banners on Raw or Smackdown, he's getting to popular

[Stu]

That story is true. God forbid a star gets themselves over.

WWE are idiots.

[Ramsay]

the old wwf days where the fans are allowed an opinion are well and truely gone:bawling:

[Iceman]

That story is true. God forbid a star gets themselves over.

WWE are idiots.

It's pathetic, they are only doing this cause they dont know how to push him....they did the ame with Hardy for years, he went to TNA won made a name as a main eventer and within a year of his return to WWE had numerous title runs.

[Stu]

WWE has always showed a complete unwillingness to capatalize on anything but stars they themselves have made. We all know of their track record with treating people who made it big in other companies. If they got hold of Sting he would probably be Mac McCabe, battling Yoshi Tatsu on ****ing Superstars.

Look at poor DDP.

[Iceman]

also just while were talking about others making it big and going to WWE, do you think they'll put the strap on Christian as a transitional champion? I mean a 3-4 week reign as a homage to Edge? he wins and him and edge elebrate afterwards is something I keep seeing...

[Ramsay]

would love christian to win but im 99% sure del rio will

[Iceman]

would love christian to win but im 99% sure del rio will

Thats what i thought but then maybe as a tribute to edge they'll give him the belt?

(also remember there was rumours there he was gonna be in the WM match making it a triple threat? Well if that had of happened he would have been involved in Edge's last match :()

[Novo]

I want Del Rio to win Christian winning the title so soon after edge retiring would make people think he only won it because of edge retiring in the first place.. ( Which is true ) maybe later on in the year

[Stu]

Christian is such a wet fart. The guy is a black hole of charisma. Not a fan at all. Mind you SmackDown as a whole is lacking in star power or any sort of must watch hooks so he might well end up winning it.

apparently 13 year old boys are bad photographers. This was the best he could manage:

Two hours oddly enough. With that crappy 2am start time.

PWInsider.com is reporting that Bill Goldberg is scheduled to return during the draft. Goldberg is set to participate at the Summerslam PPV event likely against John Cena , however nothing is confirmed at this time.

saaaaaaaaay whaaaaaaaaaaaat

[Iceman]

saaaaaaaaay whaaaaaaaaaaaat

for real? :amazed:


Just read how they are thinking of changing Wrestlemania to simply Mania.

Also WWE is no longer to be called WWE, it's now known as WWE, Inc or some **** like that.

[Ramsay]

yeah they wanna get rid of the whole 'wrestling' stigma..which is stupid cus no matter how many time they call it sports entertainment or called them superstarrs they are still wrestling and wrestlers:joker:

[Iceman]

It's just stupid, I will always text my mate an say did you see the wrestling.....Ive never once text him saying did you see the entertainment last night :/

[Ramsay]

alot of 'superstars' backstage appearantly are very pissed about it cus they grew up wanting to be wrestlers and now all of a sudden they arent:joker:

[Stu]

It's just so needlessly paranoid. I realize WWE want to branch out and expand their market but it's not as if everyone is going to go 'uh I guess it's not wrestling anymore!'.

Vince wants to feed his ego some more before he passes on. Every non wrestling related venture he has tried his hand at has been a dismal faliure and it eats away at him. The easy solution is to unwrestling your wrestling company so it looks like your this big media giant instead of just a very wealthy wrestling promoter.

[Ramsay]

if that goldberg thing is true and he comes outta nowhere and spears cena
i will jizz all over the place even tho im not even that big a goldberg fan haha

[Iceman]

Apparently WWE let slip 2 people who were drafted...trying to find out who it was.....

Possible Major Spoiler, read at own risk

Alberto Del Rio to Raw

Possible Major Spoiler, read at own risk

Alberto Del Rio to Raw

does that mean christian gonna win at ER?:amazed:

[Iceman]

Several readers have sent in word that Alberto Del Rio and Michelle McCool's profiles have been moved to the Raw roster section of WWE.com. This might be in an indication that the two names will move in tonight's WWE Draft, however that's neither guaranteed nor confirmed.

[Iceman]

does that mean christian gonna win at ER?:amazed:

I bloody well hope so only as a transitional champion though

[Tom4784]

I wonder when Awesome Kong's gonna turn up.

[Stu]

Good news if true. It looked like with his WrestleMania treatment that Alberto pissed in Triple H's coffee or something. Nice that he is on the A show where he belongs.

[Iceman]

oh could be tonight Dezzy, havent they changed her name????

[Ramsay]

yeah kharma i think

[Tom4784]

Yeah, Karma or something I think. I think she'll be pretty cool if they use her well enough. She could be the new Chyna.

[Stu]

Night Of Champions has been axed. WWE sent out this survey to fans so expect it will become one of these instead.

-- WWE issued a survey to fans querying their thoughts on the following pay-per-view titles:

* WWE Champions
* WWE Revolution
* WWE Uprising
* WWE Vengeance

Can they just bring back wargames FFS? Fall Brawl 92 had the best main event ever. I don't want TNA-ized meaningless, biblical names. WTF does 'revolution' mean? A Cena/Sheamus rematch?

[Iceman]

Yeah, Karma or something I think. I think she'll be pretty cool if they use her well enough. She could be the new Chyna.

Yeah I'd like to see her fued with Beth Phoenix straight away, or maybe just come along and squash the Divas each week and her and Beth have a feud at who can beat the most.

[Iceman]

Wasnt Vengeance a PPV before?

[Iceman]

The official website of WWE apparently has John Cena, Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio earmarked as changing brands during tonight's WWE Draft—in addition to Alberto Del Rio and Beth Phoenix. The website has created pages on the aforementioned WWE Superstars denoted as members of their opposite brand.

John Cena to SmackDown!?
www.wwe.com/superstars/smackdown/johncena

Randy Orton to SmackDown!?
www.wwe.com/superstars/smackdown/randyorton

Rey Mysterio to RAW!?
www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/reymysterio

Alberto Del Rio to RAW!?
www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/albertodelrio

Beth Phoenix to Raw!?
www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/bethphoenix

The pages are legitimate because an error page would otherwise be displayed. For instance, an error page is displayed for Melina on SmackDown! and JTG on RAW.

Regarding Cena possibly joining the SmackDown! brand, it's worth noting that he is advertised to appear at tomorrow night's SmackDown! taping at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina. I have a hard time believing they'd take BOTH Orton and Cena off their flagship show though. It's possible they'll appear on both brands. We'll see soon enough!

Please note that these are all RUMORS now and are NOT confirmed by any means!

[Iceman]

Tonight's WWE Draft is expected to be similar to past years where there will be RAW vs. SmackDown! matches with the winning brand getting a "random draft pick". There will be a battle royal featuring undercard talents. The winning talent will receive several draft picks for their brand.

The scripts being given out at RAW today in Raleigh, North Carolina do not contain the names of talents who will be drafted. This is WWE's way of trying to keep things secret.

[Iceman]

www.whsports.net Starts at 2 AM

[Ramsay]

hoping for some ryder chants

[Iceman]

I dunno if I'll stay for everything, maybe see how it plays out.

[Iceman]

As of this past weekend, Alberto Del Rio was scheduled to be drafted to RAW tonight. This has been planned for several weeks now.

There were also plans last week to put the World Title on Christian at the WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view. This makes sense with Del Rio likely coming to RAW.

Of course, nothing is official until it actually happens.

Come Celebrate The Rock's Birthday

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, The Most Electrifying Man In All of Entertainment, finally returns to his hometown of Miami. One week from tonight on May 2, The Rock will celebrate his birthday with celebrities, thousands of WWE fans and all of WWE's Superstars and Divas at the American Airlines Arena for "Monday Night Raw."

WWE promises this will be the most raucous, entertaining and electrifying birthday celebration in history of Miami. And what is a birthday without a few special surprises? WWE Divas promise to give The Rock a birthday present he will never forget. Will The Miz spoil the celebration and blow out the Rock's candles? Who will pop out of the cake? Who will sing "Happy Birthday"? Will John Cena give The Rock a present, if so what could it be?

:amazed:

[Iceman]

As noted before, WWE is keeping things as quiet as possible regarding tonight's draft moves. As of last night, the decision of who becomes SmackDown!'s top babyface (replacing Edge) had not been decided upon.

There had been discussions about moving The Undertaker to RAW to make up for whichever babyface main eventer moves to SmackDown!.

It should also be noted that Vince McMahon wants to decide on the top matches for SummerSlam right now and that is holding things up as they decide what talent goes where.

-- John Cena was drafted to SmackDown! with the first overall pick in the 2011 WWE Draft only to end up drafted back to RAW with the final draft pick of the night. Through Sunday night, there was discussion of permanently moving Cena to SmackDown! with the belief that Randy Orton was a hot enough babyface to carry RAW on his own. Ultimately though, Orton was moved to SmackDown! with Cena staying on RAW.

One week from tonight on May 2, The Rock will celebrate his birthday with celebrities, thousands of WWE fans and all of WWE’s Superstars and Divas at the American Airlines Arena for Monday Night Raw.

WWE promises this will be the most raucous, entertaining and electrifying birthday celebration in the history of Miami. And what is a birthday without a few special surprises? The WWE Divas promise to give The Rock a birthday present he will never forget. Will The Miz spoil the celebration and blow out the Rock’s candles? Who will pop out of the cake? Who will sing “Happy Birthday”? Will John Cena give The Rock a present, if so what could it be?

Time to build on the feud...... My say is Cena gaining the upper hand until The Rock reappears around SS time.

Chris Jericho posted the following on his Twitter page: "For the first time in 8 weeks I dont have dance rehearsals. What am I going to do with myself now? Anythin goin on in Tampa this weekend...?"

[Novo]

Don't know if he is joking around or not.. can never tell with him :joker:

[Ramsay]

hes always teasing around :joker:

[Iceman]

I dont think he'll be back this soon, I think they'd hype his comeback....

[RichardWells]

And when Jericho does return it should be on SD.

The Undertaker traveled with wife Michelle McCool to this week's Monday Night RAW taping in Raleigh, North Carolina, but was not used.

Company sources say he's still got nagging injuries and were given no indication as to when he would be returning to television.

Also note that the reason he was not drafted earlier this week is simply because he's not ready to return and will be coming to RAW anyways once he's ready.

[Novo]

The Undertaker is on the Raw Roster when he returns to the ring the rumours are, hopefully Layla beats Michelle McCool then so she can join him

[Ramsay]

hopefully drew mcintyre gets a push now on raw...highly unlikely though:bawling:
if only they put more effort into the tag team division they could have a great team with sheamus and drew

The return of Dwayne Johnson and the decision to use Jersey Shore star Snooki paid off big-time for WWE as Variety is reporting that the company's flagship PPV scored one million buys.

Final numbers are not yet in, but the trade publication noted that buys are up 30% in North America and up to 15% overseas, according to the company.

Wrestlemania 26, featuring Shawn Michaels' retirement, generated 885,000 orders.

Wrestlemania 25, headlined by Randy Orton vs. Triple H and the first Undertaker vs. Michaels classic, scored 960,000 buys.

The Variety piece also credited WWE's marketing leading into the PPV as a factor, as the company smartly had their performers all over different television show for appearances, ranging from talk shows to the "Cake Boss" reality show.

[Novo]

That is because The Miz was in the Main event and you know it Stu

[Stu]

Yeah that was a really odd partnership. I remember Sky had all the shows then C4 had like ... Fully Loaded and ****ing Backlash.

Two man powertrip. Happy days. The third PPV I ever stayed up for live after Summerslam and No Mercy in 2000.

[Stu]

Karl are you fortunate enough to live alone or do your parents not mind you and Fowley fogging on and watching men in tights fight in the early hours? :laugh2:

[Iceman]

[Ramsay]

I have a housewarming due tommorow. One of my best mates dads is moving out and has left him the house and his two coworkers [maccy d's] are moving in with him and his charging them 20 quid a week rent. Madness.

I'll end up sort of unofficialy living there whilst claiming not to. Living off toast and drum tobacco. His back garden will be daycent for the gardening operation.

No Eoin didn't hear that boardroom stuff at all. I rely on forums these days for all my news and havn't checked any today.

[Novo]

Someone get a top Quality stream, i am having it tonight. Vimto Chew bars, Coffee Cake, Worcester sauce crisps, bit of easter egg, meatballs and BBQ sauce, a feast only fit for a PPV

basically Vince was asked about the PG thing and he said they will get away from it and the reason they did it was because they couldnt push the boundaries any further "where do you go after a chainsaw??" so maybe in a few years it will start to get edgy again....

Should be reliable as ever. Especially with B-shows. You wont get TV quality unless you wanna pay.

Surprised this **** is on box office. They must all be on it now. We had our 2 or 3 free wans last year. If there charging for this theyll charge for anything

[Novo]

Don't mind having a poor quality one, my Internet speed is slow at the minute anyway

[Iceman]

That one throws up a good quality stream every night, maybe twice has it failed on me before....got a few HD streams thrown up too....

Here's hoping man. On one hand I doubt the credibility of the story because going back to blood and guts and Val Venis getting his knob chopped off wouldn't fit with the new 'manistream' entertainment company business outlook but then again the business is cyclic. It always runs on cycles apart from the sort of lost but good 2003-2008 period.

Just give R-Truth an hour every monday. Two weeks ago he was the most despised thing in wrestling. Now I'd happily watch him sit in the ring chainsmoking.

What a bloke.

[Iceman]

Yeah I hopt it goes back to that man, I'll paste the article when i find it again.
