Professional Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH, etc)

[UrIeL#11]

Sombody watch?

[Drex]

Yeah.

[Null17]

I still watch it regularly but I really prefer TNA nowadays. I'd like to try ROH as well but it's kinda of hard to get some of their stuff plus the production quality isn't that great.

WWE's storylines have mostly been crap. And most of the wrestling part of it is utter crap as well. I'm mostly just curious about Raw's GM storyline. Smackdown is just boring after Eddie's death. Batista doesn't even have a WHC storyline. He's doing a lame angle against Melina and being in the Tag Team division with Mysterio

[shadowgrin]

WWE yeah!
Boogeyman rules!

[AlwaysWhat,NeverWhy]

Is The Undertaker still doing his "For whom the Bell tolls" entrance?

[Gator]

Yup, still do!

[UrIeL#11]

what are you thing about the WWe's divas?
my favorite is trish

[Jugs]

My thing about them are they are hot

lol at micky jane kissing Trish and I wanna watch the bra and panties gauntlet match this monday (monday for Aussies) but it costs $30 for pay per view

and looooooool at the Raw sausagefest where the 6 elimination chamber guys and daivari were all flat on their backs in pain

[Null17]

T&A is good and all but when you have a women's division, you should at least have girls that can actually wrestle. Right now, it's only Trish, Mickie, Victoria and Melina that can actually wrestle. The other girls are just models.

[Anthony15]

I really like the way they fake the punches and kicks makes me laugh.....

[kobesteak]

i used to watch like obsessively but the storyliens became crap and they screwed all my favorite guys up so i stopped watching it. my favorite wrestler was kane and he was the shit before they did that dumb move and made him take his mask off and from then on hes been jobbing to weaker guys and involved in crappy plots. although the HLA era kind of kept me watching for a bit longer (the acronym stands for 'hot lesbian action' LOL).

i just checked their website and now apparenlty public sex in a bed in a ring in front of tens of thousands of people... its just becoming kind of ridiculous.

but i like it

[koberulz]

I wanna watch the bra and panties gauntlet match this monday (monday for Aussies) but it costs $30 for pay per view

yeah, thats stupid. they dont need pay per views. not this many of them anyway. hell, you can wait abit and get it for ten bucks less and watch it as many times as you want.

[Null17]

Or you can get it for free a few hours later like I do

[Jugs]

I actually paid for that PPV, it wasn't worth it. I expected people to be half dead in the Chamber but nup, my man Carlito had to lose

[koberulz]

Or you can get it for free a few hours later like I do

few hours? a couple of days, yeah, but a few hours?

[Null17]

Or you can get it for free a few hours later like I do

few hours? a couple of days, yeah, but a few hours?

Usually yes.

And I was impressed with Carlito in the chamber. And Cena deserved to lose the belt after his non-existent offense in the chamber yet still winning the match

[koberulz]

apparantly the pay-per-view glitched up over here one ttime, nd everyone got it for free...provided you accidentaly flicked on to the channel. cena needs a heel turn. all the crowds are booing him anyway right now.

[Null17]

Oh I don't get it on TV until about a month after but I usually get it somewhere that I'm probably not allowed to discuss here

Anyway, Cena seems to get worse and worse when he's a face. He sucks up to the crowd too much. And most of his catchphrases have become rather annoying. His lack of in-ring skill doesn't help either. He uses the Hulk Hogan technique too often.

[shadowgrin]

Carlito is kewl!
*spits in the face of Null and jugs*
If the Boogeyman and Carlito is the future of the WWE, that's fine by me.

[koberulz]

boogeyman certainly isnt, hes too old (hes the guy that lied about his age on tough enough). hes older than taker, n takers retiring soon

[Null17]

but he's the boogeyman and he's comin' to get ya

[koberulz]

whatever you say

[Jing]

my roommate is totally obsessed with this... whenever i see his tv on, its wrestling, and same for computer lol

[shadowgrin]

boogeyman certainly isnt, hes too old (hes the guy that lied about his age on tough enough). hes older than taker, n takers retiring soon

You're seriously taking what I said?
Nifty fact though koberulz .

I think he was 40 years old during Tough Enough.
I remember that guy, but doesn't that guy have his front teeth? The Boogeyman doesn't have any. Unless he wore his dentures on Tough Enough or willingly removed his front teeth for his Boogeyman act.
Which makes him even cooler.
For a 40 year old guy to have that physique compared to the "younger" and flabby Undertaker, that says something. (Of course he's still a lying SOB.)

Nice avatar koberulz
The Rock's style made me have some interest again in watching wrestling back then.

[Null17]

His teeth was knocked out during his stint in OVW before he came to the WWE I think. And another trivia is that Shane O'Mac was the guy who was behind the Boogeyman concept. He supposedly worked hard on this character

On another note, I went to a mall where Mick Foley was supposed to do autograph signing to promote a Raw tour here on February. I waited for more than an hour coz no one told the crowd there that they needed to have a special ticket to get in the area. All I got was an Edge T-shirt because they didn't have a Carlito shirt available until next week. The quality of the shirt wasn't even that great because it was made by some local company that managed to get the WWE license

[Null17]

Just read this....

WWE has recently decided to change the name of “Five Questions with The Champ” to “Five Questions with John Cena.” Featured in the 12 minute segment of the show, Cena states that the show was named something simple because the fans were not creative enough.

Also in that very same segment, John Cena is asked who he thinks will go to the Superbowl. He then heels out NFL officials for poor calling last weekend. In the short version, they edited out him heeling the fans as well as edited out the NFL question.

Seems like they're going to tun Cena heel afterall.

[Jugs]

Daivari is a pimp now.

[Andrew]

It's a shame about McMahon's ego. If he was that upset that he couldn't control the audience reaction to Cena but wanted him to keep the belt he could have had Cena turn heel while holding the belt, a la Randy Savage back in the late 80s when he feuded with Hogan (the whole "Mega Powers" angle).

[Null17]

Just read some spoilers. There might some a few appearances of some NBA Players on the next Raw since they've filmed a segment in one of their games. I know they are but I'd rather not spoil it more for some people.

Edit:Just read the article again. It might not be on Raw but it's on their site WWE.com. I think the article was taken there so it's not really a spoiler anymore.

[Jugs]

Somebody told me Shaq attacked Carlito with a chair

[Null17]

Really? I did not know that

[shadowgrin]

The Boogeyman made Ron Artest shit in his pants.

[Isaiah]

is Kurt Angle seen as a face now on Smackdown? or is he still a heel?

[shadowgrin]

Since Daivari screwed him, I don't think Angle will be a heel now. That's what usually happens when someone gets screwed in 'rasslin', when the screwer is a heel, the screwey automatically turns good guy.

[Null17]

He's more of a tweener. He's somewhere in between so it depends on who he's working with. Although as he said so himself, even if the crowd chants "you suck" before the match, they always manage to cheer for him during and after the match.

[Isaiah]

well it said on wrestlingexposed.com that they might be planning an Angle-Undertaker feud, so i wonder if he'll turn heel again.

EDIT: There will be an Undertaker-angle feud as he appeared at the rumble.

results:
Gregory Helms wins the Cruiserweight Title
McKie James beat Ashely
Boogeyman owned JBL
Mysterio wins the rumble (entering number 2)
WWE Championship Match:
John Cena wins back his spinner belt using the STFU on Edge, making him tap
World Heavyweight Championship Match:
Kurt Angle def. Mark Henry with some roll up to retain

afterwards undertaker came out and did his lightning thingy. now i wonder who will be the face and heel in this once. i think most probably Angle will be the heel

[J@3]

Why on Earth did Mysterio win the Rumble? Does this mean he's the number one contender? That's how it used to be at least.

[Null17]

Yes he is. They've been building him up for the main event picture. I'm ok with small guys being pushed to the world title picture. My only problem is that Mysterio's been rather boring lately. All he's doing is running around the ring and hitting kicks instead of using his lucha skills. Plus the 619 sucks as a finisher.

edit: just read this

Major Spoilers For Royal Rumble/WMania; Winner Revealed?
Date Added: January 29, 2006
Story By: Tim Brown
PWInsider is reporting that rumors are going around backstage that Rey Mysterio will be winning the Royal Rumble. However, the plan seems to be to have Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton at WrestleMania. This could mean that Rey will lose his title shot before WrestleMania, or that one of the two plans have been changed.

Another match planned for WrestleMania is Undertaker vs. Mark Henry.

[dada]

I dont have the slightest clue about anythingor anyone yall are talking about.

I havent watched any wrestling since the days Shawn (sp?) Michaels and Diesel were running things in WWF (not WWE). Occasionally my little cousin or something comes singing the praise of current wrestling but that goes in one ear and out the other.

I am such an old-timer.

[Andrew]

I'd heard Mysterio was a favourite to win but given Vince tends to like to push the large and untalented, I figured that was nothing more than a rumour. Interesting to see if Cena getting the title back will kill the pop he was starting to get once he went back to being a challenger. As I said before, if Vince is so keen on Cena holding the title, he should swallow his pride, realise he can't control fan reaction all the time and have Cena turn heel while holding the strap (a la Randy Savage back in 1989).

[Null17]

i wonder what they did to the cruiserweight championship...kid kash wasn't even in the match

[Isaiah]

so it seems mysterio is #1 contender, but not going to wmania:

The winner of tonight's Royal Rumble is not scheduled for a main event at WrestleMania this year.

[Null17]

I already posted something similar to that 4 posts before yours

It's gonna be Angle vs Orton

[Andrew]

i wonder what they did to the cruiserweight championship...kid kash wasn't even in the match

He was in the match, he just wasn't involved in the decision.

[Null17]

Oh it was a 3way...ok. Coz I haven't got the PPV yet. Just read the results which was Helms defeats Funaki

[Isaiah]

it was actually a cruiserweight open. so technically Gregory Helms def. Kid Kash, Nunzio, Funaki, Jamie Noble and Paul London to win the Cruiserweight Championship

[Jugs]

Fuck, he just beat them all! Even the legends!

[Isaiah]

i guess this is how Mysterio loses his Wrestlemania shot:

(from Smackdown Tapings)

*Smackdown started with Teddy Long coming to the ring and saying that at The No Way Out PPV, The Undertaker will face Kurt Angle for the title. Teddy then calls out the winner of the Royal Rumble Rey Mysterio. Mysterio was talking about how Eddie Guerrero pulled a funny one on him for giving him the # 2 entry when Randy Orton comes out. Orton challenges him for the # 1 Contendership at No Way Out. Orton was rippig into Eddie, saying that Eddie didn't go to heaven and that he was in hell, which led to Rey and Orton brawling.

*Main Event: Kurt Angle and Rey Mysterio vs. Mark Henry and Randy Orton: Decent match, ended with Angle chasing Daivari through the crowd and Orton pinning Rey with a rollup. After the match Orton says he told Rey he could beat him and that his win at the Rumble was a fluke and Rey says in memory of Eddie he will put his shot at the title on the line at No Way Out against Orton.

[J@3]

Wow, the WWE has become unbearably predictable.

[Andrew]

You said it. All one needs to do is look at which wrestler in a feud gets the last word before a PPV. The other guy is going over at the event. I can't think of the last time that didn't happen, at least with a high profile feud and one where a wrestler isn't getting buried because he refuses to kiss McMahon's ass.

Orton was rippig into Eddie, saying that Eddie didn't go to heaven and that he was in hell, which led to Rey and Orton brawling.

Well, they were respectful about it for what, two months? I know "the show must go on" and we shouldn't be petty about it, but it's typical uninspired attempts at controversy, like the Kerwin White character. Trust Vinnie Mac to feel genuine sorrow for a tragic event only to realise he can use it in his product.
