somethingvinyl Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Thanks. I like the Bleacher Report, so I should have gone there. I turn on Raw for a few minutes each week, but I really am no following. I thought I just missed the conclusion. Good thing to know that WWE doesn't care enough to resolve the stories.

Guest Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 It seems so simple: they could have just announced Johnny Ace before he was named interim GM and been done with it. Cole likes him, so they would have had that tie-in, and he is still in authority. The pieces fit, it's just lazy writing or something. Who knows?

Guest Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 that was always kind of the thought i had. for a little while, i wondered if that actually happened and i just missed it. but thanks to that article, i just lost about an hour on the bleacher report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Below is the card for Elimination Chamber on Sunday, and it looks pretty sparse right now. Only 4 matches announced, so there will be plenty of time for "a look at John Cena's Wrestlemania opponent, the Rock!" videos. Even though i like the chamber matches, i can't say i'm particularly stoked on any of these. 1 Elimination Chamber Match for the WWE Championship CM Punk © vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Chris Jericho vs. The Miz vs. R-Truth vs. Kofi Kingston Note: As a result of winning a Six-Pack Challenge on Raw, Chris Jericho will be the last entrant into the match. 2 Elimination Chamber Match for the World Heavyweight Championship Daniel Bryan © vs. Wade Barrett vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Big Show vs. The Great Khali vs. Santino Marella 3 Ambulance Match Kane vs. John Cena 4 Divas Championship Match (maybe?) Beth Phoenix © vs. Tamina Snuka My picks: 1) CM Punk pinning Chris Jericho or vice-versa. 2) Daniel Bryan (World Heavyweight Champion! YES! YES!) with the vegan beard of doom splash from the top of the pod onto Big Show, causing him to fall under the chamber into Kane's firey under-ring hell. 3) Kane, after Zach Ryder interferes and uses the fist-pump distraction to cost Cena the match. 4) Beth Phoenix, via roll-up.

selfreliable Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 God that card is bad. i think the Raw match will be decent if done right. Keep Miz out of most of it and should be ok. The Ambulance match will be Cena winning after embracing the hate in some way. Makes no sense to have him lose this feud going into the Rock next month. I dont understand why he cant embrace the hate easily, he did after all put Batista through the stage after he quit, and dropped a pile of chairs suspended 50 feet high on Barrett after the match. If Beth wins by roll up I think I will break the tv. The divas rollup out of nowhere thing needs to end. turn it into something else.

scottheisel Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 It's kind of insane to think that Wrestlemania is, what, five weeks away and I still don't care about the Rock/Cena match. And they had AN ENTIRE YEAR to build it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they had AN ENTIRE YEAR to build it up! THIS THIS THIS. i don't care about their Twitter/ Facebook followers, Cena's lady parts, gay jokes, or any of the other bull crap. And, in my mind, it's not Cena's fault. How can he build up to the match all on his own? Yeah, they had the Survivor Series match and the fallout from Wrestlemania, but that's it. Rock hasn't really contributed much; why are they fighting each other? i mean, i know it's supposed to be a draw all on its own, but there should be some sort of story to build it.

selfreliable Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Wow, I have forgotten why they are going against each other. Have they explained that at all last year and I just lost it in all the boots to asses and fruity pebble jokes? The funny thing about this feud is it has made me hate the Rock more and like Cena more. Cena is working his ass off in stupid feuds all year long that make no sense all the while having to defend himself from a guy who takes 10 minutes to say "I think gay jokes are funny".

somethingvinyl Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I think part of their error was announcing it a year ago. In this day and age, nobody has the attention span to care about the Rock vs. Cena for an entire year. Survivor Series would have been a good time to bring up the conflict. It would have been a nice surprise because you know most of Wrestlemania as a result of the Royal Rumble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you on this one. As much as I hate Cena I do have to respect him for carrying this feud on his shoulders. Just to end up jobbing The Rock so Vince can make a quick buck. The worse part is that The Rock will be part of wrestlemania 29 as well. So we'll be subjected to another year of "via satelitte" promos.

crime Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I forgot to mention I really like Kofi's new angle of being tired of being overlooked. That guy can wrestle and I'd love to see him get a push. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoss Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 TNA Impact Wrestling star Sting posted the following on Twitter, which was later re-tweeted by the official Twitter account of Impact Wrestling: "I'm done." I read that on wrestlezone.com yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crime Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Not too sure what that means seeing as though he's in the main event of their next PPV. I hope he doesn't leave. He's actually doing a great job being the "GM" of Impact since he dropped the whole horrible joker gimmick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I read Sting's wiki page the other day and it stated emphatically that he was probably the most famous wrestler to have never wrestled in the WWE. I thought about it and I couldn't think of another example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crime Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The only other person I can think of is Shohei Baba, but I'm fairly sure he wrestled for WWWF before he hit super stardom in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 thoughts on the chamber: really enjoyed the wwe championship match. thought it had a lot of great spots, and by god, ziggler is incredible. womens match- hey, ill give it a B+. they performed well, but jesus, how many times did she need to go to the top rope?? us title match- nooope. heavyweight title match- khali needs to go. immediately. i still dont believe the guy even has knees. but he comes in, walks to the middle of the ring, and for 30 seconds stands still while people run at him and fall down. a moment later, hes taken down by a big show spear, and thats the end of it. and i dont think ive mentioned it in this thread before, but i would like to say that big show is easily one of my least favorite wrestlers of all time. ive never found anything even slightly interesting or enjoyable about him. cena kane- this entire feud was rendered entirely pointless by this match. sure, raws antics were amazing last week, but i cannot believe we just sat through a month of "hate! hate, cena!! haaaaaate!" for that how do ryder and eve not even make an appearance? so basically, everyone retains, cena beats kane, and absolutely nothing is accomplished. at least del rio and christian are back. that, and maybe people will actually embrace laurenitis moving forward. i still nearly choked once i heard the crowd chanting for triple h to come out.

Guest Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 just went back and rewatched some. smackdown chamber was pretty rough to start, but it definitely picked up at the end. but heres my gripe.. i dont hate santino because hes a gimmick character. i hate him because his entire style of wrestling is a gimmick. if the dude just fucking moved around like a human being, instead of making something as simple as hitting the ropes goofy, he would be 1,000 times more tolerable. and there was a 2 minute stretch in that match when michael cole said "nobody home!" three times.

crime Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 A couple of friends ended up ordering it, but I couldn't make it to watch it. After it was over I got a text that read something along the lines of "fuck worse than the rumble". But I can't put any input in seeing as I haven't seen it. I've got the day off so I might order it or download it. Not sure which yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad part is that the WWE is actually considering putting a belt on him. They're catering to the pre-teen male market right now and they love Santino. Found out the other week that he lives right down the street from my work (in Milton, Ontario). Apparently when the WWE is in Toronto a lot of the guys go over to his place to party. I should go egg his house. PS It's nice to see someone else admit not liking big show. He can't cut promos, all he does is slobber on the mic and he can't really wrestle. His matches are always slow paced and boring. I laughed so hard when he botched the first RKO on last weeks Smackdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Like you two, i thought the PPV was lackluster. It was interesting that the RAW chamber went on first. The match was pretty solid. It was strange that R-Truth was eliminated so quickly. i thought Kofi and Dolph had the best performances, and Kofi took a lot of the worst bumps. Definitely not the finish i had expected with Jericho being "injured," so i give them credit for the surprise factor. The SD chamber was decent once it got going. The first few minutes were not good though. The spot with Big Show breaking into Bryan's pod was innovative and a new twist on the gimmick. i couldn't believe how over Santino was with the crowd last night. Like a lot of people, i was expecting him to be taken out of the match before it even started, but he did a great job with what he had to work with last night. Beth vs. Tamina was miles ahead of what we've been told is "divas wrestling" the past few months, so props to them. The rest of the PPV was poor. i don't know what Johnny's "Big Game-Changing Announcement" was. That he was vying for Teddy's job? Who knows? It wasn't a great PPV, but not atrocious, either.

Didn't he hint at that on Smackdown? I'm mildly interesting in seeing what happens with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
