  1. WWE.com: 5 Most Wanted WrestleMania 29 Dream Matches

    From all accounts, Taker is in rather horrendous condition, physically, he's basically crippled; I don't think he will be at Mania this year.
  2. Not To Be Heartless..

    I agree that while the situation was obviously frightening, there was a positive aspect to come out of it, though that positive aspect was not JR returning(not that this is a bad thing) but it was JBL returning, who is arguably the best commentator in years, bar none. He can do everything, he...
  3. WWE.com: 5 Most Wanted WrestleMania 29 Dream Matches

    What? If anything the Rock has been quite humble and his ego is dwarfed by Punk's astronomical ego. It's interested to note that back when he was a face during his reign(and wasn't doing quite as well as now), some Punk fans noted that despite being huge on Punk, they thought he was personally...
  4. Is Rock/Austin rivalry over-rated??

    Not necessarily. There two were essentially the faces of the Attitude Era, two of the biggest stars ever, and they had a rivalry -- that alone makes their rivalry unique. Were they each other's biggest rivals? I think a very convincing could be made. Even if they had really fantastic feuds with...
  5. WWE Not Interested In Bobby Lashley

    While he would make a decent addition to a roster that is noticeable thinning(see Rumble), I can understand their recalcitrance towards bringing him back. The fact of the matter is, Lashley wasn't too great of a wrestler or too charismatic(which was no doubt related to his feminine voice), he...
  6. Rave Reviews For Punk vs Bryan

    While I do often, on a visceral level, feel like rolling my eyes whenever Punk mentions "He is the best wrestler in the world", there is absolutely nothing wrong with it -- it is merely a gimmick. People need to get over it. As far as Punk being seriously believed to be some great wrestler, at...
  7. WWE Just Made The Same Mistake As 2011

    False. Wrestlemania has always been sold on the back of the biggest stars, and even wrestling in some instances. For example, despite their mad "wrestling skillz", the WCW CW division wasn't the selling point of WCW, Hogan, the NWO and the other big stars were. This is simply how it has always...
  8. WWE Just Made The Same Mistake As 2011

    SAIYANS is spot-on, with regards to Sheamus. A few more points to address some other concerns: Cerbs This is irrelevant, this year Mania is being sold entirely on the back of Rocky/Cena, and HHH/Taker as a secondary concern. If there was ever a year where the WWE could completely phone...
  9. Predictions On Jericho's Post Rumble Plans

    The tentative plan is for HHH/Taker with HBK as a guest referee, there is no provision for HHH or Taker to be involved with Y2J. None. That could change, but I doubt it. HHH/Taker has too much going for it no to happen.
  10. Randy Orton face of the company?

    As far as I know, he was *never* groomed to be the star of the company, certainly A star, but not THE star. Especially around that time, the WWE had other things to be concerned about. Austin's days at the top were over and everyone knew it. Rocky was trying to make it in Hollywood, and the WWE...
  11. Backstage Heat On Evan Bourne

    No, it shows the IWC smarks being made to look like the petty hacks they are. Weed aside, it is common fucking sense that you don't go around complaining about your employer(especially when you aren't in a position of worth anyways) PUBLICLY, on twitter or whatever. HHH or whoever sanctioned...
  12. Kurt Angle Says WWE Has No Respect For Him

    I think you misunderstood. With Hogan and the others who jumped to WCW, it was just a purely business thing. Sure it sort of hit Vince hard, since they were his creations, but at the end of the day it was business and Vince had already by that time stolen dozens of talents from other promotions...
  13. Kurt Angle Says WWE Has No Respect For Him

    Well there are 2 versions that I have heard of. One of them, of course, is the infamous he banged Steph story, peddled by none other than Dave Meltzer. This is undoubtedly absurd, unsubstantiated nonsense. The second account, from good authority, is that Vince and Savage were *really* close...
  14. Kurt Angle Says WWE Has No Respect For Him

    I knew about Swagger using the lock, but I didn't realize Orton uses the Angle Slam. In any case, Kurt is wrong, and crazy -- though he has been for quite some time now. I recall when he use to be on all sorts of radio shows for TNA yammering on about how TNA was just on the cusp of beating the...
  15. WWE RAW 2nd January 2012 - It Begins LIVE Discussion

    I haven't reviewed the segment, but perhaps it was my stream or something but when I first viewed the segment, the crowd definitely wasn't a hot crowd by any means, and nor were they crazy when he came back. Might just me though, I guess I will review it.
