Official WWE/TNA Wrestling Thread

Ok well then have Undertaker win by DQ or countout, keeping the title on Edge. Either way Undertaker's undefeated streak is safe. And if the Hardy angle doesn't work out you can build up to another Edge/UT match at WM25.

 

the undertaker has always been my favorite wrestler he is just so agile and athletic for a big guy but i think the wwe has screwed up the careers of undertaker and kane

 

I can't speak to his career, but they certainly haven't screwed up his bank account.

 

that michaels/diesel match was the ****

i just dont see the same charisma that shawn had/has

btw it is just me or is the wwe tag teams are a little dry? i mean i used to love seeing the hardyz/dudlez/edge and christain go at it all the time i mean hard core holly and dusty rhodes kid are a horrible tag team the same with the 2 red neck dudes

 

The thing with kane is, he wants to put over these younger guys. Hes not selfish like Hogan who wants to win every match, he enjoys helping the younger guys, you got to respect that.

 

he has been crappy even before they took off the mask, leading up to the mask coming off they had him acting like an idiot doing the 'kanearoony" with booker t

i say these 2 because they never let these guys have the title, if they did win it they usually had it for a ppv or sometimes not even that long

but guys like the rock, stone cold, triple H, cena they kept the titles for a while as where kane and undertaker never did

i expect undertaker to lose the title at backlash at the latest

 

Yeah the WWE doesn't care about tag teams anymore, it's sad.

Go back and look at the early HBK stuff from 1992 to like 1994. He had no charisma and had to get heat by having Sherri be his manager and in feuds with Marty Jannetty.

Go back and look at Matt Hardy's Verison 1.0 gimmick. He was pretty over with the fans, and could have been a huge star after he was rehired and put in the feud with Edge over Lita but the WWE dropped the ball big time. If they did the right thing and had Hardy win that feud he'd be a big star today, seriously.

Matt isn't as talented as HBK is in the ring but he's not that far off. He got put out 4 star matches. I think the WWE should at least give him a chance instead of wasting it on guys like Big Daddy V.

 

i agree! Kane needs to be a Heel agian. I personally would love to see him have a long fued with taker leading up to WM, Kane would be the only wrestler i would mind ending taker streak, anyone else i would hate, even though Kane said no to that idea, i would not mind.

 

i dont think it will happen the dudlez are in tna( they have some good tag teams)

same with christian he is over at TNA but the tag teams are horrible i remember watching holly and rhodes come out with the titles and i said to my brother they got the titles? i mean come on

i agree benjamin is a better tag team guy than a solo guy, i just miss the old days of great tag teams like the road warriors/legion of doom, the four horseman,the steiner brothers,dx, nwo,the hart foundation, brothers of destruction etc

 

they didnt just bring him in he has been wrestling for the wwe for a while but back then he was known as mable when he won the king of the ring tournament, then he was viscera and now big daddy v

i agree i dont like him and i dont get why he is still wrestling

 

I think my sig says it all.....

 

that was really sad to see him go that guy is one of the if not the greatest wrestler in history it was also great seeing the horseman come down

 

That last segment made the whole show worth watching. The only thing though for me is its bitter sweet. I cant help but look at most of those guys and think Of Benoit. But it was his night, and I thought it was done well.

 

yeah but he was mable first and nelson knight if i remember, then viscera and now big daddy v

he is garbage i just dont get why he is still wrestling i mean it goes the same with mark henry he has been wrestling for a long time also and he is bad

 

that is true to see dean malenko and jericho and all those it felt kind of weird like you were expecting benoit to be there

i agree they did it very well, and it was very well done i mean that was the biggest sendoff i really remember seeing for a wrestler

 

Vince likes the big guys. He always has. Vis. is a solid worker, and for his size is agile as all get out. I would much rather watch him than Khali. Khali just looks like walking is painful for him much less wrestling. Mark Henry is still around because he's under a fat contract that they arent going to just let him sit at home and earn.

 

Good Raw tonight too. Maybe its because I get it in HD and lovely surround sound now, but I enjoyed it. I don't really like JBL, but his promo with Orton was good. I also enjoyed the pearl harboring Matt Hardy. I almost think he should keep that up. Just strike at random times for awhile. Become a bit more brooding.

Have him complain about how this job has cost him his girl (Lita) his friendships (Edge) titles (multiple) his health (appendix, concussions etc.) and seems to be cracking Jeff as well (might as well acknowledge it). Have him say how he is fed up and it was time to quit giving and start taking.

He can run as a tweener wth that character and it gives im flexibility to go to any brand to stake his claim.

I also liked seeing my boy Khali stand face to face with Show. Awesome visual. Not sure why they had him just back down though. It would have been better for him to hold his fist up just like Show and have someone like Regal break it up. More heat would have occured that way. The way they did it, it just kind of stunted the whole angle. It made Khali look weak.

The Flair thing was just awesome. Simply great. Seeing Malenko and Jericho out there made me think of Benoit though. Time and time again Flair has put over Benoit as the greatest technical wrestler ever. I am inclined to agree. On top of that he was a Horsemen. Its just sad that guys like him, Pillman and Ole Anderson couldn't be there. This doesn't mean I condone Benoit's acitons either.

Also sad that Curt Hennig couldn't be there either...

And everyone knows my stance, but it sure would have been nice to see Dusty and more importantly (to me) Sting make an appearance. I know the reasons why Sting couldn't, but it would have been nice to see the copanies work together somehow to tip their hat to history. Oh well. Other than those minor details, it was perfect.

 

Ole has grown bitter, but it would have been nice for him to put all that aside.

 

thats true sometimes i forget that wrestling is just like any other sport you have contracts and all that

but i remember in the day they tried to push mark henry big time but he just fell on his face
i agree with kahli what is the point of having him there

he basically just walks around the ring and thats it

 

Sam loves Khali, which I enjoy his presence, but he just looks like he's in so much pain. Its not enough just to be big. A match with him and Show could be a disaster. Look how Goldberg and Brock turned out. If you dont have a solid worker in the ring to carry the match, you are headed for disaster. And am I the only one that notices Jericho doesnt even try to hide the fact that he is talking to Punk through the whole match?

 

yeah that would have been great i would have like to see ole also

 

lol yeah i saw that

i agree with a khali/big show match that would be a horrific match it would be 2 big guys walking around hitting each other big show slamming khali and then pinning him

 

My love for Dhalip is deep. To be honest with you guys, if it wasn't for him one night, I may not be here today. The guy literaly saved me from being beaten to death by four guys. And yes, size does matter. The guys took one look at the 7'4" monster charging at them screaming in his native tongue and they took off.

Dhalip (Khali) also happens to do an epic Jim Ross impression. And his timing is excellent. I remember being in the WAAAY back of an SUV at about 3 in the morning coming back from a show and having Dhalip reach back and poke me (which feels like a punch BTW) until I woke up just so he could tell me in his JR voice that his match that night was a "slobberknocker." I couldn't help but laugh.

He also called one of our fat wrestlers a "potato" one night. It took us all about 30 minutes until Dhalip physically brought out a potato and explained that, the wrestler, in fact, looked like a potato. He is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet.

Also, my theory on his wrestling ability is this. There is a serious language barrier if you couldn't tell. The more you work with him, the easier it is to understand. I don't think a lot of the wrestlers have that privelage i nthe WWE as they are always moving on to new partners and new fueds.

n the indy wrestling scene, you often have time to go over your matches in great detail days and even weeks in advance. With Dhalip, that meant sparring and training with his opponent pretty much everyday. He essentially, needs a scrip to study and memorize. Again, that luxury isn't afforded in the WWE so he often looks uncoordinated and out of place.

I assure you he is better than what they have shown of him. I think Dhalip's best role right now would to be simply a bodyguard for someone. MVP might be a good choice. Heck, maybe even Orton seeing as how they seem to have multiple people gunning for him right now (JBL, Hardy, probably Cena and HHH), Have Orton become increasingly beat up, tired and paranoid and demand insurance from Regal. Khali can be that insurance.

 

yes it does! i am such a Ric Flair mark that i went online at WWE.com last night after Raw and ordered a Four Horsmen T-shirt. that's the only Flair shirt they had, which is cool.

they actually have a deal where you get the Horsemen t-shirt and the Horsemen DVD for 27 bucks.

i've already got the DVD so i will give it to somebody probably. my brother has a birthday coming up.
