BOB BACKLUND MILIONs$$$$ OF DOLLArs

[Stu]

Great show, great last match, wasn't too keen on the finish.

Will post more thoughts tomorrow morning hopefully.

[Ramsay]

Just caught up now. couldn't be arsed to stay up
Nice to see Cena cashed in his John Cena in the Bank contract [stole that from WF]
AH no but i'd much rather Cena have it instead of Del Rio..might actually give the heavyweight title some relevance

I'm too busy spending all my Xmas money on Chikara stuff.

Seriously it's the perfect antidote to stagnant WWE.

Anyway I'm totes watching Raw tonight. I wanna see what Cena's going to do with the world title. Hopefully he can give it the rub because from 2002 and the Triple H in a suit days to Benoit Brains to Batista right through to 2008 when Edge and Taker had it it was a fucking great belt. And Vince is back. And yanno, we're building to Survivor Series now and things should be getting in gear for 2014 and I really wanna see how dat hole digging goes.

[King Gizzard]

can Dave Batista come back already please

[Black Dagger]

Batista in his last run

Didn't care at all for him when he was Smackdown Cena and wasn't out of the title picture for 2 years.

[Stu]

Yeah Batista's heel run before he left was amazing. Everyone's willing to admit they'd sell their mother down the river to have him back at this point.

[King Gizzard]

Didn't know he is going to be in that new Riddick film

[Stu]

I love how he doesn't really seem to care how badly he is needed. He's so chilled. It's a shame he broke in to the business so late.

Maybe Booker being back is putting him off. Booker handed his arse to him in a fight on the set of a SummerSlam promo around 05/06 I recall.

[Stu]

Speaking of cool guys I watched the Matt Striker shoot today. He's a complete berry but he's shockingly sincere and decent with almost everything he has to say. And it's nice hearing backstage stuff from the past few years instead of just the usual 90's stories.

I felt really sorry for him when he was telling these stories about how they used to make him dress in a broom closet when he first came in. He eventually got over because he sold everyones stuff like crazy so everyone wanted to work with him. Unsurprisingly he lists Cena, Triple H, Big Show and Kane as the coolest guys on the roster.

[Black Dagger]

Kane is such a lad.

I mean his in ring skills are deteriorating, but for somebody his age to still be as agile as he is and on the roster every week is quite something.

And yeah, Matt leaving was a bad thing.. he added something different and you could tell he actually gave a **** about his wrestling, Cole and King are hopeless really now.

[King Gizzard]

I remember hating Striker when he was a commentator when I was kind of a newb to all of the Smark/wrestling terms/just liked the faces stuff, but now looking back I quite like him

[King Gizzard]

and also loving Derrick Batemen, but I don't regret that, he was awesome

[Stu]

I'm shocked he doesn't have the make up department do this for him. No wonder he went lazy during his time on the indies. Doing this and wrestling for a pittance? No thank you.

[MeMyselfAndI]

I watched Wrestiling once with my friend when I was 9, I don't get the point of it?

Saw a preview of is shoot on youtube, where one day he sat down beside Cena and asked how he's doing and Cena said '' You know what? no one ever asks me that..no one ever asks how i'm doing. it's all just how can you help me get over and ****. thank you for asking me that''
...i feel proper bad for Cena tbh

[Black Dagger]

Cena's going to do his best to save the WHC, I'll give him credit for that, more than likely though, he'll job to Sandow when he can be arsed, but then forget he lost to him and move on quickly back to the WWE championship, and Sandow will feud with Rhodes and it will look like a midcard title again

[Stu]

Heh heh Cena is the man, like. He's such a workhorse.

Youtube video

Here is the new Triple H documentary I was on about a few pages back, by the way. The last bits of it in part 2 about his current day role in particular are great. You get some interesting shots of him producing and going to booking meetings and kinda get a sense of how hard he works. It's crazy.

Also that thumbnail is awesome.

[Brother Leon]

Never got the whole Cena hate tbh. Guy works his ass off and is a true company guy. Not just that,but seems a real cool guy and is always doing things like Make A Wish or just generally making little kids lives lol. Yeah, he ain't the best in the ring, but he's hardly some sort of twat and he can still have a decent match now and then

[Stu]

12 AM start time for Raw by the way if anyone wants to watch .

Think most of the hate is for his character really. it's just he's ALWAYS there and ALWAYS winning. I suppose the same can be said for every other top guy but i dunno, i don't mind him now but it's only a matter of time before he beats Flair's record. what's he at now? 15? lol

[Black Dagger]

I'LL HATE HIM IN A ****ING SECOND.

No chance Sandow is cashing in successfully.

[Stu]

He's on 14 now. Orton is on 13 which is far worse consider he is ambien in human form.

I sense Sandow is getting buried next .

Even if it's a bogus cash in/interference it still makes the already weakest looking briefcase holder ever look like crap. They've watered down the concept way too much.
