He'll be busted open for sure though. No one blades quite like the Nature Boy.


Him and HBK are probably the best at bladejobs now in the WWE. Others that stand out are Carlito's dad and Abdullah the Butcher who's permanent scars on their foreheads are fucking disgusting to look at, especially Abdullah's

Just read about some stuff that might happen with the Smackdown Tag Belts. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the next Smackdown as I haven't watched it yet. But I'm quite excited about it since it concerns some great ex-indy highflyers :wink:

Bret says that he will NOT be appearing at the WrestleMania 22 PPV event and says he knows Vince and WWE will try to convince him otherwise this weekend.

Drats. I was hoping of a scenario wherein Bret will apply the Sharpshooter to Vince to that helps Michaels get the win. As a victorious Shawn is about to shake the hand of Bret, BAM! The Hitman applies the Sharpshooter on Michaels and the whole crowd erupts in delight!

The only WM matches I'm interested in are the MITB match and triple threat between Angle, Orton, and Mysterio. I find the Cena/HHH match boring mainly because Cena is boring as a champ, and Triple H's ring moves gets repetitive for me. Besides, HHH needs a good opponent for his wrestling prowess to actually show, and Cena doesn't fit the bill of decent HHH opponent.
HE'S USING HYPNOSIS!

Agreed, but I do have to give Vince McMahon some credit here because he's up there as well...though he's limited otherwise and is still an egomaniac.

Not a bad idea if that's true Null, it's about time one of those fellows got out of the doghouse following some backstage heat with Vinnie Mac. Hopefully it means they'll be doing more with the tag division.

Wrestlemania tomorrow. I still plan on ordering it. (Y)

No Holds Barred basically means no disqualification. A Casket Match is a gimmick that the Undertaker has used for pretty much the entire run of his character. The winner is the man who can stuff his opponent in the casket and shut the lid.

why exactly do they have a no-dq match, street fight, and no holds barred match? they're all the same thing.

Sometimes they have No DQ matches Falls Count Anywhere, which is about the only difference. Otherwise, they're just different ways of promoting No DQ matches.

those chicago fans present in the hall of fame ceremony should go to hell

i don't care if you like cena or not, but what they did was disrespectful. i mean, there's a time and place to boo the shit out of a wrestler, but last night was inappropriate.

and oh yeah, the you screwed bret chants. *head explodes*

Very true, though the "Hardcore Match" moniker came about in 1998, at least in the WWF/WWE. Like I said, they just have a few different names for promoting the same kind of match depending on who's involved and how they want to present the feud. Or at least, that's the best reason I can think of.

I just read the recap on Rajah's, I'll have to wait until the DVD is released to see the whole thing though I'm sure there'll be highlights during Wrestlemania. I'll wait until I see it to judge for myself but from the sounds of it, the booing was quite inappropriate. They really need to turn Cena heel, no matter what they do with the belt. They're thinking of the women and children demographic and the merchandising dollars, but they'll still keep coming in. Heels can still sell merchandise because they still have a following. As long as he's losing popularity, they might as well ride the crowd reaction and stop trying to push him as a face.

i would love to see him heel
weird thing is though, if they turn him heel, i bet you anything people will start cheering him again, and it'll catch on -- kinda like how they started cheering for him again after he lost the wwe title

but definitely i wouldn't mind him being a heel

The same thing happened with the Rock when he was still Rocky Maivia. I think they've forgotten that when the audience doesn't react the way they want, they need to change the plan and ride the reaction.

Even better. (Y) But I reckon I'll end up getting the DVD anyway.

Personnally I 've been taking part to a french wrestling promotion called Fighting Spirit Federation since October 2004 and after living the experience from inside and meeting stars like Kid Kash, his girlfriend Trinity, Colt Cabana, Doug Williams (and more) and sharing good moments with them, I didn' t manage to watch WWE events on my cpu or on TV ! Now i'm just waiting for our next event in two weeks in Marseille (France) where I'll meet former WWE wrestler Matt Morgan.
