Cause they needed a 6th guy?
Feb 19th 2012
30
Cody Rhodes is stealing the show
Feb 19th 2012
27
This has been one of the better EC matches despite the roster
Feb 19th 2012
31
Really, Teddy Long?
Feb 19th 2012
35
What a strange match to put after the world title match
Feb 19th 2012
36
He's acting like this is a regular Smackdown ep, not a PPV.....
Feb 19th 2012
38
      That Del Rio et all segment should have been on Raw as well
Feb 19th 2012
40
aka "we need filler to make it to 11pm EST"
Feb 19th 2012
37
      Funny thing is this could be a great feud
Feb 19th 2012
39
      They've been cutting PPVs off before 11pm for a while now....
Feb 19th 2012
41
           Their shows usually are in the 2:45-2:50 range
Feb 19th 2012
61
What exactly does an ambulance match entail?
Feb 19th 2012
42
have to put your opponent on a stretcher and into ambulance
Feb 19th 2012
45
the Smackdown chamber was actually hella entertaining
Feb 19th 2012
43
Yea despite lack of suspense due to midcard talent it was fun
Feb 19th 2012
46
Surprisingly it was.....
Feb 19th 2012
47
Ryder has become Raw's Kenny
Feb 19th 2012
44
Can you feel the energy being sucked out of the building
Feb 19th 2012
48
HA why in the world would a wheelchair be under the ring
Feb 19th 2012
49
And he knew exactly what side of the ring it was on, LOL
Feb 19th 2012
52
This match is seriously corny as fuck
Feb 19th 2012
50
what time does ryder show up?
Feb 19th 2012
51
This article explains everything that's wrong with this feud
Feb 19th 2012
53
Cena def. Kane with an AA off the top of the ambulance....
Feb 19th 2012
54
lol @ AA... and Kane still doing the job
Feb 20th 2012
74
This undid everything they've done to move away from Super Hero Cena
Feb 19th 2012
55
they get their dicks hard for "Gotcha!"
Feb 19th 2012
56
You paid us $40 GOTCHA
Feb 19th 2012
58
It was pretty much assumed that Cena/Kane would go on last
Feb 19th 2012
59
      Cena/Kane is maybe their worst feud ever.
Feb 19th 2012
60
      All of that is awesome. There's still no way it doesn't go on last on
Feb 19th 2012
62
           well the show was called Elimination Chamber, but hey.
Feb 19th 2012
63
                And they've also had PPVs called Money in the Bank, and
Feb 19th 2012
64
                     it's silly fake pro wrestling. who cares.
Feb 19th 2012
65
                          Of course.
Feb 19th 2012
70
      not really.
Feb 19th 2012
67
           No, really.
Feb 19th 2012
69
                Your world titles are on the line...
Feb 19th 2012
72
                     lol, are you really trying to place value on the world titles now?
Feb 19th 2012
73
there's no way you can put a positive spin on this.
Feb 19th 2012
66
well there's still time, and three matches will sell themselves
Feb 19th 2012
68
It's all been really bad, and I have zero faith that it will get better.
Feb 19th 2012
71
Damn, is Russo back writing for WWE? Misogyny won with that
Feb 20th 2012
75
That opening segment was cringeworthy
Feb 21st 2012
106
This crowd is absolutely horrible.
Feb 20th 2012
76
Okay, so HHH-Taker in Hell in a Cell?
Feb 20th 2012
77
Should be a bomb ass match
Feb 20th 2012
78
A) didn't need it B) will probably be badass
Feb 20th 2012
79
What makes a Hell in the Cell different than a regular cage match?
Feb 20th 2012
89
      top on it means everything...
Feb 21st 2012
96
      Well Mankind/UT set the standard for HITC matches
Feb 21st 2012
107
When they tell Cena to go in, he's so cash.
Feb 20th 2012
80
yeah he nailed it. nm
Feb 20th 2012
82
I really don't like what he's saying though
Feb 21st 2012
93
      It's 100% truth though.
Feb 21st 2012
95
           Nah
Feb 21st 2012
97
                because *you* read it as vince's mouth piece. Smarks read it.
Feb 21st 2012
111
                     Okay, so if Cena has such an undying love for professional wrestling
Feb 22nd 2012
112
                          He did talk about that, as part of the whole of his promo.
Feb 22nd 2012
114
                               Dwayne couldn't use "The Rock" when his contract ran out
Feb 22nd 2012
116
                               If you thought that was a "candid shoot" promo, then I honestly
Feb 22nd 2012
118
                               So...those aren't his true feelings? He HASN'T said that for years?
Feb 22nd 2012
125
                                    I noticed that you harped on The Rock's catchphrases
Feb 22nd 2012
126
                                         Oh, well in that case, I won't read any of what you wrote.
Feb 22nd 2012
129
                                              Cool nm
Feb 22nd 2012
130
                                                   I didn't see it as trying to change your opinion.
Feb 22nd 2012
132
                                                   For what it's worth, strong word is the boys in the back agree with Cena...
Feb 22nd 2012
133
                                                        No, the boys in the back agree with VINCE
Feb 22nd 2012
135
                               Why does everyone assume Jericho's stint will be short?
Feb 22nd 2012
138
                                    Because Fozzy has a new record coming out.
Feb 22nd 2012
139
*eyebrow* @ them squashing santino after what happened last night.
Feb 20th 2012
81
LOL @ that Little Jimmy T-Shirt
Feb 20th 2012
83
please send khali back to the mid-card.
Feb 20th 2012
84
damn, big show threw ziggler too far.
Feb 20th 2012
85
Yeah that face plant into the edge of the announce table....
Feb 20th 2012
88
      Ziggler can sell anything
Feb 21st 2012
104
Dudes were getting hurt
Feb 20th 2012
86
looks like Wade broke his arm there.
Feb 20th 2012
87
and I thought Ziggler broke his back
Feb 20th 2012
90
And then Santino just missed landing on his arm when he got eliminated
Feb 20th 2012
91
yeah, that was insanely close when santino fell
Feb 20th 2012
92
Meltzer reporting a dislocated elbow
Feb 21st 2012
94
You know, I bet Johnny Ace is actually a fun dude to hang with.
Feb 21st 2012
98
MVP puts him over huge, says he's a fun dude to kick it with
Feb 21st 2012
99
DDP puts him over, too
Feb 21st 2012
100
If you're on twitter, follow @WWERawGM
Feb 21st 2012
101
That's excellent.
Feb 21st 2012
102
      this one is gold.
Feb 21st 2012
103
The funny thing is, in his whole beef with Punk, he's the guy with valid...
Feb 21st 2012
105
Mr Excitement is one of the best characters in the biz right now
Feb 22nd 2012
146
Punk VS Bryan should not be on free tv
Feb 21st 2012
108
yes it should because it makes up for the BS of last night
Feb 21st 2012
109
I agree with you in those regards
Feb 21st 2012
110
      It'd be a cool gimmick to do a Benoit/Booker T style series
Feb 22nd 2012
113
           They seem to be moving to uniting the titles maybe next year
Feb 22nd 2012
120
I'm reading it like they're trying to sell live Smackdown.

RE: I would pay to see Punk vs Chris Brown on PPV for charity
Feb 22nd 2012
122
LOL @ "coco beware"
Feb 22nd 2012
123
Wrestlers aren't remembered, I wish these wrestlers I remember were arou...
Feb 22nd 2012
124
It's fucked up to say, but if Chris Brown were really paying attention
Feb 22nd 2012
127
      What's Benoit got to do with Punk though?
Feb 22nd 2012
128
      There was a history of abuse there. You know, before the murders.
Feb 22nd 2012
131
           I guess I don't get it.
Feb 22nd 2012
134
                Yeah, we'll just leave it at you not getting it.
Feb 22nd 2012
136
      that has absolutely nothing to do with CM Punk
Feb 22nd 2012
137
           Yeah, you wouldn't think.
Feb 22nd 2012
140
                It's not my fault you guys can't connect dots
Feb 22nd 2012
141
                     I get what you're going for, but it still ain't got shit to do with Punk
Feb 22nd 2012
142
                     I'd wager ever profession ever had a woman beater somewhere
Feb 22nd 2012
143
                     You're not very good at connect the dots, are you?
Feb 22nd 2012
144
                     i see it as beefing between men, not their professions.
Feb 22nd 2012
145
                     When does Chris Brown NOT look like a cunt, especially on Twitter?
Feb 22nd 2012
147
                          LMFAO
Feb 23rd 2012
150
                          yeah i haven't followed his career much...
Feb 23rd 2012
157
                     Actually, a better retort to Punk would be "Steve Austin" ...
Feb 23rd 2012
148
                          True but that woulda been a whole lotta thinking about it
Feb 23rd 2012
149
Do you follow WWE_Creative on twitter yet?
Feb 23rd 2012
151
Man, I love Daniel Bryan as a heel.
Feb 23rd 2012
152
Eh, I got tired of the vegan schtick real quick
Feb 23rd 2012
153
It's not the vegan schtick though.
Feb 23rd 2012
155
      I agree he was boring as fuck as a face
Feb 23rd 2012
156
I do too, although I don't like the vegan shots
Feb 23rd 2012
154
Oh brother.
Feb 23rd 2012
159
      Look, Shane McMahon, your dad thinks vegans are weird.
Feb 23rd 2012
161
           As opposed to sounding like a future endeavored jobber?
Feb 23rd 2012
162
                Yeah, you're really mad about it.
Feb 23rd 2012
163
                     LOL@The apparent poster boy for internet swag calling me mad.
Feb 23rd 2012
165
he captures the annoying self-righteous whole foods crowd perfectly
Feb 23rd 2012
158
he's bland and vanilla.
Feb 24th 2012
166
      FOH.
Feb 24th 2012
167
      so is John Cena after 2004 or so, and he's their cash cow.
Feb 24th 2012
172
           But Cena attracts women and children. Bryan doesn't.
Feb 24th 2012
175
                so if it was an issue of 'drawing money' you should have said so
Mar 07th 2012
309
Guess you can't say Rock doesn't still draw PPV money
Feb 23rd 2012
160
lol WWE Films/WWE Network lol
Feb 23rd 2012
164
      and they shit the bed on their Q4 earnings release yesterday.
Feb 24th 2012
171
      I'm "mad", yet you're bringing my name up out the clear blue.
Feb 25th 2012
179
           I'm editing the post "just to do it?" You're dumber than I thought.
Feb 25th 2012
180
                Can you really be this immature? Good god are you childish.
Feb 25th 2012
188
Rock/Cena 1 hour special to air on USA on March 26 (swipe)
Feb 24th 2012
168
What a long and indepth feud to warrant an hour special
Feb 24th 2012
169
it's pretty damning.
Feb 24th 2012
173
Yep.
Feb 24th 2012
174
I thought we'd get a 3 hour Raw that night....
Feb 24th 2012
176
      I think the next 3 hour Raw is scheduled for April 23 in Detroit
Feb 24th 2012
177
      Yeah, the last Raw we went to in October.....
Feb 24th 2012
178
           I would have straight up asked for a refund after that
Feb 25th 2012
181
      Haha you bet your ass you're getting Rock/Cena on the Titan Tron
Feb 25th 2012
185
Really dope candid interview with Punk.
Feb 24th 2012
170
So, what match should go on last at Mania, and why?
Feb 25th 2012
182
Punk/Jericho for at least 45.
Feb 25th 2012
183
*head tilt* @ anyone who doesn't say Cena/Rock
Feb 25th 2012
184
Agreed it has to be Rock/Cena because of the crowd
Feb 25th 2012
186
It'll go Bryan/Sheamus, HHH/Taker, Jericho/Punk, Rock/Cena
Feb 25th 2012
187
Punk/Jericho opening with fire.
Feb 27th 2012
189
"Did you invent Canada?"
Feb 28th 2012
212
How great was it seeing a Lion Tamer on TV?
Feb 28th 2012
217
      exactly, THE Lion Tamer
Feb 28th 2012
220
           wait... Jericho actually did it?!
Feb 29th 2012
244
                Yep; he's been using more "'Tamers" than "Walls" since the comeback
Feb 29th 2012
245
                     He's also not too big
Mar 01st 2012
251
Dumb question, but....
Feb 27th 2012
190
I think he's just built oddly
Feb 28th 2012
207
Ha Rock has notes written on his hand
Feb 27th 2012
191
I never thought I'd root for Cena in a feud with the Rock
Feb 27th 2012
192
The Rock lost to the Hurricane
Feb 27th 2012
193
I honestly believe that that's what he's there to do
Feb 27th 2012
198
pass "what" torch?
Feb 28th 2012
208
      well it's supposed to be the "2 biggest superstars of all time"
Feb 28th 2012
210
           Rock is that current superstar selling tickets.
Feb 28th 2012
224
                Hogan was as over in Toronto as Rock will be in Miami
Feb 29th 2012
232
                     You're insane.
Feb 29th 2012
234
*slow golf clap*
Feb 27th 2012
194
the only thing that could've made "continue trending" better...
Feb 27th 2012
195
and I just peeped, this nigga DOES have the notes on his wrist
Feb 27th 2012
196
Exhibit A
Feb 27th 2012
202
      *right click, save as*
Feb 27th 2012
203
And the Rock really needs his water mid-promo?
Feb 27th 2012
200
I mean, I fucking hate to use the term 'swag' and all, but
Feb 28th 2012
206
Damn, The Rock was shook after Cena cut that promo
Feb 27th 2012
197
why doesn't Rock just say "yo, for real though, I'm way better." ?
Feb 27th 2012
199
...
Feb 27th 2012
201
      I said that on twitter, rock was flat out shook. Even the way he
Feb 27th 2012
204
      it's possible that it was entirely planned
Feb 27th 2012
205
      ^^^
Feb 28th 2012
211
      the more i think abt it, the more this makes sense.
Feb 28th 2012
213
      it's brilliant really
Feb 28th 2012
214
           My only holdback is it's almost too brilliant for WWE
Feb 28th 2012
215
                That's why I'm having trouble w/this being a total work.
Feb 28th 2012
216
                     The notes are the main thing making me think work
Feb 28th 2012
218
                          That's true.
Feb 28th 2012
219
      It's still real to me, dammit!
Feb 28th 2012
221
      i havent been in here in like a yr or so...
Feb 28th 2012
209
Cena crushed him... and the crowd loved it....
Mar 01st 2012
252
Damn. Show did a 3.1 rating.
Feb 28th 2012
222
Makes me wonder if it will ever do big ratings again
Feb 28th 2012
223
*shrugs*
Feb 28th 2012
225
in the DVR/Youtube age...
Feb 29th 2012
226
      Ratings matter because of sponsors
Feb 29th 2012
227
           maybe to USA, but WWE is doing fine.
Feb 29th 2012
228
                Well yes, but USA determines what to put on the air
Feb 29th 2012
229
                WWE doesn't even sell $100M in merch all year.
Feb 29th 2012
230
                     I think you're very wrong.
Feb 29th 2012
231
                          I know I'm very right.
Feb 29th 2012
233
                               a couple more consecutive bad quarters and they should get rid of
Feb 29th 2012
235
                               well ESPN says Cena alone does 106 milli in retail:
Feb 29th 2012
237
                                    I'm pretty sure their public financial records are more correct
Feb 29th 2012
238

>John Cena vs. Kane in an Ambulance Match
Cena needs to win so they can run with this HATEFUL Cena idea, the fact that he's not crazy, but pretends to be or whatever.

>Beth Phoenix vs. Tamina Snuka for the Diva's Championship
Tamina loses, Kharma returns. Mania match

>Smackdown Elimination Chamber for the World Heavyweight
>Championship (Daniel Bryan, Wade Barrett, Cody Rhodes, The Big
>Show, The Great Khali and Santino Marella)
I don't really care, but I can't see them making D.Bry lose

>Raw Elimination Chamber Match for the WWE Championship (CM
>Punk, Dolph Ziggler, Chris Jericho, R-Truth, Kofi Kingston,
>and The Miz)
Jericho or punk setting up the mania match

If not I can see him coming back in to steal the win after Punk makes what he thinks is the winning pin or submission.

EDIT: Guess that answers that.

>None of these guys should be main eventing WM besides Bryan

3 matches are already going to be higher main event caliber matches
rock/cena - THE main event
punk/y2j - better world title match
hhh/taker

In response to Reply # 41


  

          

Sometimes they go over, and it's a problem

Especially when their 4-hour WrestleMania show goes right up to the 4 hour mark and they have to rush to the finish, like they did with Cena-Miz last year

I don't have a problem with them squeezing in another short match as long as the card isn't already stuffed to the gills and they don't have to run about 50 pretapes (commercials, promos, backstage skits, etc)

And this show clocked in around 2 hours, 50 minutes, which is about right

You could tell that Cena and Kane were stretching it as long as they could, though

In response to Reply # 54


  

          

even after he's ceased being "Glen" (we call him that ever since he unmasked, the same way we called Taker "Mark" in his "Biker" period)

...Cena. I dunno, man.

It's even become passe to hate on him, but if he defeats Rock and he just stays the same he's always been, I don't know why you'd even want to watch. Cena has been very static for like 6-7 years now.

we're STARTING the show with the WWE title match?

"Gotcha!"

well at least the other chamber will be the main event. Wait it isn't?

"Gotcha!"

well AT LEAST Cena will do some sort of wild shit to build some heat for his match with Dwayne. Oh wait, you mean this is the exact same limpdick Super Cena spotfest we've been force fed for the last 5 years?

"Gotcha!"



trainwreck of a show.

In response to Reply # 56


  

          

They just switched the order of the EC matches, as it was generally thought that the Smackdown one would be up first to open the show

I mean, you really can't open with Tamina/Beth Phoenix

The match order was fine, gang, they weren't trying to swerve anybody with it

60. "Cena/Kane is maybe their worst feud ever."
In response to Reply # 59
Sun Feb-19-12 10:45 PM by Tiger Woods

  

          

And that's a shoot.

It's at least the worst feud Cena's ever been a part of.

Indirectly, part of that is Rock's fault. His not being around was going to leave Cena with a placeholder feud no matter who he was paired with.

Part of that is the fact that of the some 6 or 7 Kane variations we've ever seen this is easily the least interesting and most generic.

And then above all there's this whole "shove Twitter down our throats thing all while trying to hamfist an overly kayfabe storyline into the middle of it."

Dude this current Hunter/Taker story makes more tangible sense. This Cena/Kane thing is the SHITS. It made no one better. And it actually maybe the once-hot Ryder worse.


The match order blew, especially now knowing how each match fared. That Santino near win was more over than that clusterf*ck Cena debacle.

I would have assumed that a Chamber match would go on last. You know, since the PPV is called the Elimination Chamber and all.

Cena's main eventing your next pay per view, which happens to be the biggest of the year

Why in God's name would you put him in a slot other than the main event of the PPV before that one? If he's supposed to be this super strong half of the main event at Mania, he goes on last, even if, yes, I know, you have 6 weeks to build him back up to April 1

And as I noted with the Money in the Bank PPV, the name really has dick to do with which match goes on last. Blame this shitty program and WWE's shitty execution of it for where we're at now, but the bottom line is it happened. As lame as it might be, Cena-Kane ain't going on 3rd from the top. Or 4th. Or even curtain jerking.

You don't have to agree with the reasoning, but you should at least be able to see it...

and those matches have more intrigue than one of the worst feuds in recent memory.

What did feud do to push Rock vs. Cena? Absolutely nothing. Did this show influence ONE single person to buy WrestleMania that wasn't already? Absolutely not.

There's a reason why Raw is doing 3.0s and 3.1s as of late, and it's due to little to no interest in the product being handed to the fans.

Face it; the show was HORRIBLY produced, not only by putting Cena and Kane in the main event, but for all of the ridiculous filler that they had in the middle of the Chamber matches and the blowoff Swagger vs. Gabriel match. WWE tonight basically told everyone that the only matches to watch at WrestleMania were Rock vs. Cena and Taker vs. HHH; forget the rest of the show.

73. "lol, are you really trying to place value on the world titles now?"
In response to Reply # 72


  

          

The fucking lead announcer places value and weight on the world titles only when he's not talking about how great he is or shitting on the talent like Daniel Bryan or arguing with Lawler

Which means he almost never talks about them

So in turn you think we're supposed to place weight on them? If the lead announcer doesn't give a shit, why should we?


>and those matches have more intrigue than one of the worst
>feuds in recent memory.

I don't disagree, but yet, there was Cena's arm raised as the WWE logo went up and we faded out.


>What did feud do to push Rock vs. Cena? Absolutely nothing.
>Did this show influence ONE single person to buy WrestleMania
>that wasn't already? Absolutely not.

You're actually shouting at a wall at this point. Look, I'm not saying that Cena-Kane was the greatest feud of all time. Far from it. But I could see WHY it went on last on THIS show, the big show right before your biggest show of the year, the show that he's co-headlining. Like it or not, they needed to feed someone to Cena to tune him up with Kane. And you leave your PPV audience with a shot of him being victorious to set up the next big show.


>There's a reason why Raw is doing 3.0s and 3.1s as of late,
>and it's due to little to no interest in the product being

I mean, I get it. Please stop rattling off ratings and shit as if I'm in complete love with this Cena-Kane shit. Just because I could see the reasoning behind their decision making doesn't mean I'm in lockstep and agreement with it.


>Face it; the show was HORRIBLY produced, not only by putting

Again, we can bitch all about the product, but like it or not, here we are. If the idea was to toughen up Cena before his match with Rock, they certainly could have had someone else do it, like Barrett or another tough guy who could have stretched Cena to his limits. But, they didn't go in that direction. And so it goes.

When Santino gets the biggest pop of the night (and I'll give it to them, they turned chicken salad out of chicken shit for that Elimination Chamber match; doesn't mean it was great, but a good two minutes) there's something wrong with your product.

I don't know how anyone could come out of this being excited for WrestleMania. And if they think Rock's name is going to carry them to another big buyrate again this year, they're crazy. Look at Survivor Series.

None of the matches had any crowd heat, no angles set up WrestleMania (I guess Sheamus Celtic Cross'ing Bryan did, but he could have done the same thing tomorrow night and nobody really cared), and nothing was memorable. Add this to a lackluster Royal Rumble, and this is probably the worst buildup to WrestleMania that I can remember.

68. "well there's still time, and three matches will sell themselves"
In response to Reply # 66


  

          

that being Rock/Cena, Taker/Hunter, Punk/Jericho

I mean I too want great buildup for each. But just seeing those three at the top of the bill will get my money regardless of what leads us there. Maybe I'm a sucker.

And that's not to say they won't still be alright, there's plenty time. They tried getting cute with the Sheamus Rumble win, now they've got a match with no heat behind it. I expect Orton to be plugged in there to give it some shine. If Orton doesn't get put in there, how hot would an Orton/Del Rio match be?

The biggest problem with Mania the last few years has been the jamming of too much into too little time. They think 4 hours is a good idea, and to top it off they shoehorn stuff like Snooki and Floyd Mayweather into it.

but here's what I think we're in for so far, and it's ON PAPER a pretty good show.


Rock v Cena
Undertaker v Triple H
Punk v Jericho
Daniel Bryan v Sheamus v Randy Orton
Money in the Bank ft Dolph Ziggler, Cody Rhodes, The Miz, R Truth, Zack Ryder, Wade Barrett, Kofi Kingston, Santino
Beth Phoenix v Kharma
Big Show v Shaq


maybe do Christian v Rey Mysterio just because it would be good?

Who knows what else.

But have faith, I do believe we're in store for a very good Wrestlemania with ample time to get us there as well.

Wrestlemania is a habit purchase at this point

Early last year I sorta entertained the idea of going to Miami for the show, because it is Wrestlemania after all, but even still, I knew they'd botch the build to Rock-Cena, considering all of the damage they do to the product on a weekly basis

And I decided the only way I'd go is if I would take my nephews (or the young sons of my lady friend who lives down there), and that's if they REALLY wanted to go. I brought up the idea with them, and their meh response told me all I needed to know...

WWE's done a good job of selling HITC as more violent/barbaric than a cage match. But the Taker/Mankind spotfest set the bar so high, most cell matches end up looking like regular cage matches.

All of this "you left us then you came back and said you wouldn't ever leave again then you left again waah waah waah" stuff sounds like Vinny Mac's sour grapes, with Cena being his puppet

And if it isn't Vince talking it definitely sounds like some jealousy on Cena's part

Instead of talking about what The Rock did to promote his movies on Twitter, he should be talking about how this is going to be a big matchup between 2 WWE eras, and how he doesn't plan to lose to the old man on April 1... instead he's talking about "The Rock said I had ladyparts and he's on Twitter and he's promoting movies and he won't be here cause he gotta go shoot a movie waah waah waah"

Even though I liked his tenor and his "more aggressive" tone (I even liked the "Vince is gonna fine me cause this is a SHOOT!" non-shoot business), the content of what he's saying makes him come off like a bitter, jealous bitch

I didn't find it bitter or jealous, personally.
From a kayfabe standpoint, it's the perfect angle to work- shoot style or not.

Talking about the clash of two greats yada yada yada is just flat out boring, uninteresting, and obvious.

He's taking the angle of Dwayne simply using the WWE and it's fans to further his career outside of the WWE, and it's perfect. And accurate. Of course, Dwayne is entitled to move on. From a fan perspective though, it's legit to look at Dwayne and say 'yeah, this dude don't really give a fuck about this, me, or the WWE anymore'.

It's far better to play that up than to sit there and drone on about how they're gonna tear the house down in one of the most hotly anticipated matches ever. Especially in light of the fact that he's done that. It's time to ratchet up the intensity on this, and this was a great way to do it because John got personal.

How did he "get personal" by acting as Vince's mouthpiece?

Vince and company (including HHH) resent Rock's success outside of WWE

All of this "personal" shit that Cena is talking is nothing but Vince and Trips being pissed at The Rock for his success and "not acting like one of the boys" when he came back for Hall of Fame inductions and things like that

I'd much rather hear something genuine come out of Cena's mouth as to why he doesn't like Rock and can't wait to match up with him, as opposed to the "you left us" whining that he's been fed, directly or not, by Vince, for the past year now

I mean, "Team Tape It?" You thought that shit was fresh?

And if you really think about it, if I'm a viewer and I hear Cena crying about Rock leaving and being successful outside WWE, I'm wondering why this dude is so mad about another dude's success.

>How did he "get personal" by acting as Vince's mouthpiece?

But he came out and said he had no respect for Dwayne, and then told us why. He came out and said "this is what I think about Dwayne."

Look, we're hard to please. We know too much, like it or not, but average fans who don't know too much? The thought of that being Vince's mouth piece doesn't even come into play.

>All of this "personal" shit that Cena is talking is nothing
>but Vince and Trips being pissed at The Rock for his success

Well, again, that's pretty much solely a Smark (no snark) perspective. Not to be a dick here but we're not the end all be all of WWE fans, you know? So while it reads like that to *us*, average fans won't even think twice about that.

>I'd much rather hear something genuine come out of Cena's
>mouth as to why he doesn't like Rock and can't wait to match
>up with him, as opposed to the "you left us" whining that he's

Well, I actually believe those are his real thoughts. He's said it for years, actually, and I've got no reason at all not to believe as much. I've never read a single report of HHH being jealous of Dwayne, and I'm personally not going to sit here and say "well you know it's true". If you've read that somewhere with credibility that Hunter is privately jealous, well, do you.

>I mean, "Team Tape It?" You thought that shit was fresh?

Didn't say that. Boots to asses is wack, as is fruity pebbles, so.....

>And if you really think about it, if I'm a viewer and I hear
>Cena crying about Rock leaving and being successful outside
>WWE, I'm wondering why this dude is so mad about another
>dude's success.

That's sort of just throwing out the hater card though. I don't see him being mad about Dwayne's success, I see him being passionate about the professional wrestling business and being mad at a dude who just leverages said business to further his outside business. But that's me. IMO saying he's just jealous of another dude's success is completely ignoring everything about Cena's character, a major hallmark of which is his undying love for professional wrestling. Which is part of what he spoke on yesterday. So if you ask me, that just comes across as the typical young adult male disdain for Cena.

In response to Reply # 111
Wed Feb-22-12 01:09 AM by ZooTown74

  

          

then why doesn't he talk about that, instead of harping on all of the stuff The Rock has done while he's gone? Why doesn't he look at The Rock as an ambassador for WWE and for wrestling, instead of some kind of deserter? If he had such love for the sport, wouldn't he want to insist to Kreative™ that he'd be happy that The Rock was out there representing WWE in a positive manner? I mean, he's got such love for the game that he'd realize that a rising tide lifts all boats, right? Why can't Cena say that he loves pro wrestling without simultaneously throwing The Rock under the bus for having the nerve to leave the company and become a movie star? That's not "effectively building the match up for non-smart fans," that's making Cena sound like a weak, jealous, and ignorant cunt. Not to mention a mouthpiece for an old, out-of-touch company owner and his egomaniacal son-in-law.

If you're going to go the "he left us so that automatically makes me better" route, there's a far better way to do it, one that doesn't just appeal to "smarks." You have Cena come out and congratulate The Rock for all of his success, ***and thank him for being a great ambassador for the sport***, but emphasize that, with all due respect, the place has changed dramatically since he was last there. Talk about how the athletes in WWE are bigger, faster, stronger, and yes, younger than when The Rock last showed up, and that he's about to step into the ring with one of the new blood. He might have been able to plod around the ring with Stone Cold and HHH and Mick Foley, but this is the new breed of WWE, and he'd better be ready to bring it. That he can come in with all of the new, fresh, and funny-ass catchphrases and Tweets that he wishes, but at the end of the day, he's got to come face-to-face with John Cena in the ring.

This current route -- even if you think it's the most exciting thing ever (probably because Cena's biting CM Punk's pseudo-shoot from last summer), and take out all of the "insider knowledge" of it (and btw, the HHH resentment of The Rock is 100% true, as is the Rock resentment from cats like CM Punk) -- is fucking lame. If I'm a John Cena follower, I should be cheering for Cena to take out The Rock because I think he's the better athlete and bigger star, and not just believing that he's better because he said he stuck around while The Rock dared to expand his career beyond the narrow scope of pro wrestling. It's a stupid and weak fucking tack for a babyface to take for a feud, and I don't give a shit if the 11-year olds eat it up. They're 11 year olds. They're not supposed to know any better. Older fans, even the non-smark ones, DO know better, and also know that Cena's sounding like a whiny, jealous bitch every time he says that "you left us" bullshit.

You and other fans might think this bullshit is cool because it's "real," and in a way it is VERY real, but that doesn't mean that it's the best path for your #1 babyface in the company to take going into this match. It just isn't. Just because "real" worked for CM Punk doesn't mean it's going to work for everyone else.

>then why doesn't he talk about that, instead of harping on

He didn't harp on the things Dwayne did while he was gone, he harped on Dwayne being gone. He spoke about his movies because... Dwayne would rather do that than be a professional wrestler. That's the point, he'd rather do *that* than *this*.

>doesn't he look at The Rock as an ambassador for WWE and for
>wrestling, instead of some kind of deserter?

Because Dwayne really isn't an ambassador. He's not quite a deserter like Brock, but he's certainly no ambassador. He doesn't hide his WWE past (how could he anyways), but he doesn't exactly play it up.

>I mean, he's got such love for the
>game that he'd realize that a rising tide lifts all boats,
>right?

It really doesn't though. In fact, Dwayne's presence hurts far more than it helps. It boosts PPV buys (though not for SS) and temporarily gives weekly ratings a boost when he's there, but that's a spot that could and SHOULD be occupied by a younger guy getting over and establishing himself. Same goes for Jericho. After Summer Slam, those guys will be gone yet again. It's hot shotting for buys and ratings that won't show any long term gains. You could have Cody Rhodes and Dolph Ziggler getting their first crack at an upper card slot at Mania, but instead we get two guys who won't be around in 9 months. I fail to see how that helps. It's better for everyone these rising young stars get that chance to elevate themselves on the big stage than it is to bring in Jericho and Rock.

>Why can't Cena say that he loves pro wrestling without

Oh lord, because it's pro wrestling, it's a feud, and it's leading up to Wrestlemania. How is that 'throwing him under the bus'? This is the point.

>not "effectively building the match up for non-smart fans,"

Actually, that's exactly what it's doing.

>that's making Cena sound like a weak, jealous, and ignorant
>cunt.

No, that's just what it sounds like to 20-something men who hate Cena and love Dwayne.

>Not to mention a mouthpiece for an old, out-of-touch
>company owner and his egomaniacal son-in-law.

But nobody but smarks are even thinking like this. Regular fans aren't even thinking in those terms.

I'd hardly call that better, mostly because Cena actually gave his true feelings, which he's said many times over the years. That's just a very bland, generic route that doesn't add ANY animosity whatsoever. I'd much rather see a man spit his true feelings than a generic 'this is the new breed!' promo that does literally nothing. This route was a personal one, even in the event he was just saying what Vince wanted him to say- hell, especially if that's the case. This 'weak jealous bitch' angle isn't present at all. He isn't harping on The Rock's outside success, he was harping on him leaving to do all that and using the WWE to further those endeavors.

>This current route -- even if you think it's the most exciting
>thing ever (probably because Cena's biting CM Punk's

I think it's a quality way to go. This 'most exciting thing ever!' bit of hyperbole is unnecessary. Liking it and thinking it's OMG BEST THING EVER!!! are two different things.

>"insider knowledge" of it (and btw, the HHH resentment of The

So where is the proof of this 'HHH is jealous of Rock' claim? You just know, or what? Are you going to say it's just common knowledge? I'd say he's pretty happy where he's at.

Shrug. It worked quite well. You don't think so. Cool. Some of us enjoyed a candid shoot promo that was well executed. It's a nice

In response to Reply # 114


  

          

Which is poor judgement on WWE's part to let that contract elapse in the first place. So if they wouldn't let him use the name for all those years, then he began to distance himself from the the name, persona and his wrestling past. Or at least acknowledging how firmly it was in the past.

In response to Reply # 114


  

          

don't know what to tell you. Do all the talking about "20-something smart marks" if you must, talk about "bland, non-personal selling' if you must, but this "you left us" shit is not going to help this PPV do business, or at least do better business. No, it's not. The average fan who doesn't know about this stuff is going to buy this show based on the brand name off break, then on stuff like the Taker-HHH match, then on the name of The Rock. They're not going to watch WWE programming leading up to this show thinking, "You know, that John Cena's got a point. I need to order this show so I can see him put that bad Hollywood deserter The Rock in his place, because unlike The Rock, John Cena is going to stick around and never leave us, so that automatically means he's better. You've sold me, WWE, here's my 65 bucks!"

And I haven't even brought up the possibility of Rock's response yet. Cena tried this same "you left us" tack last year, and while Cena got a few nice lines in in response after The Rock, he was still eaten alive on the mic. And we don't expect that to change this year. So, while this "you left us" shit might be groovy to you, there are some in the audience, "smark" or not, who have heard this same song and dance before and kinda need Cena to say something new, and not just say the same shit but in the same "shoot" tenor of CM Punk from July 2011.

And yes, we do "just know" that people like HHH and CM Punk resent The Rock's success. CM Punk's thoughts on "Dwayne" are out there, if you want to search for them.

LOL. Trust me, neither is Dwayne coming out and doing the same ham it up schtick he's always done. We'll hear Team Bring It! Boots To Asses! If You Smeeeeeeeeelllllllallaallalallaooowww!Jabroni! Candy Ass! Turn That Sumbitch Sideways! Fruity Pebbles! Gay Jokes! End Scene!

I mean, if ever there were a predictable routine, that's the one. You really think Dwayne is gonna come out and deviate all that much from the same script he's used since, oh... 2000? 99? 98?

No, the PPV won't do any more or less business based on anything they say. Certainly not with Cena talking about how he's the New Breed! He's Quicker, Stronger, Younger! Nope, it's Wrestlemania and it will sell big because it's Wrestlemania, and because it's The Rock and John Cena. What they say isn't selling the show, it's who they are.

>The average fan who doesn't
>know about this stuff is going to buy this show based on the
>brand name off break, then on stuff like the Taker-HHH match,
>then on the name of The Rock.

Right. Which isn't going to change a lick, regardless of what Cena says.

>They're not going to watch WWE
>programming leading up to this show thinking, "You know, that
>John Cena's got a point. I need to order this show so I can
>see him put that bad Hollywood deserter The Rock in his place,

>You've sold me, WWE, here's my 65 bucks!"

But somehow Dwayne will yell fruity pebbles like it's a fire alarm, crack gay jokes, a bunch of catch phrases, and THAT will make this happen? No. It's the names involved.

>And I haven't even brought up the possibility of Rock's
>response yet.

No worries, I gave you 85% of his response. He'll add a few small things I'm sure.

>Cena tried this same "you left us" tack last
>year, and while Cena got a few nice lines in in response after
>The Rock, he was still eaten alive on the mic.

Cena will always get eaten alive by Rock on the mic. Rock is GOAT at that shit. It's mostly the same tired act, but it's still a damn entertaining one. Rock eats everyone alive on the mic, except maybe Jericho, who at least holds his own with him and seriously ups the entertainment Quota.

>expect that to change this year.

Well, I just told you why that is.

>So, while this "you left us"
>shit might be groovy to you, there are some in the audience,
>"smark" or not, who have heard this same song and dance before
>and kinda need Cena to say something new,

Some. Just as there are some that liked it. So.... it's a little amusing to want new from Cena when Rock has propped his career up by going out and giving promos that are 85% the same catch phrases and little else. Cena didn't come out and rely on one liners or a rap or his own gay jokes or anything. He just said some shit he really thinks. Lets see if Rock is willing to put down the catch phrases and shoot from the hip for once. Do you really think THAT will happen?

>And yes, we do "just know" that people like HHH and CM Punk
>resent The Rock's success. CM Punk's thoughts on "Dwayne" are
>out there, if you want to search for them.

SMH. Notice you only posted about how Punk's thoughts were out there? At any rate, he's far from 'jealous'. In fact, he plain old dislikes him and the hotshotting business WWE does with him. I've read Punk's thoughts, thank you very much.

Anyhow, like I said, it's kinda obvious why you didn't talk about how HHH's thoughts are out there, because you don't really know that. You're just assuming. You're saying 'we just know, man, we just know. Duh. It's obvious.' etc.... because those thoughts really haven't been documented and it's a popular opinion.

In response to Reply # 125

(I'm not reading all of what you wrote, btw)

And while his catchphrases may or may not move units, since "it's Wrestlemania and it doesn't matter," they're certainly fresher and get more of a crowd/audience reaction than a weak babyface crying that "he left us, I'll never leave you guys" and worked "shoots" that other wrestlers pulled off to FAR greater effect and impact.

And if it doesn't matter since "it's Wrestlemania," then why shouldn't Cena talk about thinking that he's better than The Rock, not because he stayed but because he's bigger, stronger, faster? You think that's boring, but I think faked "shoots" with crying bitch babyfaces saying the same shit over and over about being deserted is boring as fuck. And lame.

And of course you're not going to get exact quotes from people involved regarding the resentment of The Rock by cats in WWE. The only person who has come close is CM Punk, but that's about it. But the backstage reports have been corroborated by numerous reputable sources who of course can't out themselves because they still work for the company...

You don't have to believe it, but that doesn't mean that it's not real... and the people doing the reporting are certainly reputable enough to be believed.

And I want leave by asking you a question: what is pro wrestling? At its core, what exactly is pro wrestling? I can tell you that it's NOT "The Rock left you guys, and I'll never leave you, so that's why I think I deserve to win on April 1."

Discussions with differing views aren't always about one guy trying to convince the other guy. I just saw it as a discussion with different views on the subject and nothing more. When we start saying 'I wont even bother reading your point of view', well, we're not having a discussion at that point.

133. "For what it's worth, strong word is the boys in the back agree with Cena..."
In response to Reply # 130


          

There was a text sent to a major publication (PWI) from a wrestler who pretty much said Cena had him dead to rights, that Rock is out for himself, that Rock is using WWE to gain back the audience he lost doing shit like the Tooth Fairy. He also spoke about how Rock came back a year ago and hasn't made a single star, hasn't put anyone over but himself, and how other guys are missing out on a big payday from the big shows because of his presence, etc. Both PWI and Justin Lebarr- quality sources- give some serious credence to the text being legit. PWI knows who that person is, obviously.

So, to that end, if Cena is a mouth piece for anyone, it's not Vince or Hunter, but the boys in the back, who believe it or not, do matter more than Dwayne at this point.

So for all your trashing of Cena (who I don't really even like, BTW), and slobbing of Punk who has said the EXACT SAME SHIT in live promos and interviews, that sentiment goes well beyond Cena. If anything, Cena has set himself up as the leader of this generation better than ever.

And no, I don't think this is OMFG BEST THING EVER!!!, I just think it's a damn good promo.

In response to Reply # 133


  

          

And because the boys in the back want to keep working, they're going to agree with whatever the boss wants to say

And the boss is pushing the "he left us" angle hard to everyone via his top star in the company

Without realizing and/or caring that The Rock's very presence elevates EVERYONE in the company.

Wrestlemania doesn't do the business it did last year without The Rock being there. Yes, it's still going to do business, but not GREAT business like it did last year without that guy being there. This nigga has put major film projects on hold to come back and perform for the company, and this is the thanks he gets: a lot of bullshit politics and sour grapes.

Dave Meltzer (probably the most reputable wrestling reporter there is) also reported that there are guys in the back who are smart enough to understand this and are disgusted with the unofficial company line regarding The Rock.

And as Bruce Mitchell pointed out (I really wish I could swipe his piece here), The Rock is indeed there to elevate stars, specifically John Cena, except for the fact that he's been put in a HORRIBLE position to do so. For example, that shit at Survivor Series was WACK. Instead of positioning Miz and Truth as glorified, main event jobbers, what Vince and WWE Kreative™ should have done was try something different, like have a traditional SS match pitting Team Cena against Team Rock. If there were fears about them actually having to face each other physically, then they could have easily eliminated one or the both of them before they actually touched. Instead, we got a wack, watered-down tag team match, the reasons for which were lame as shit.

And you honestly think, after that, that the best course of action for Cena/McMahon is to keep crying about "he left us?" Okay, player.

Oh, and here's the second part of that PWI article that you forgot to rephrase:

>In Johnson's defense, anytime he's been booked for PPV or TV, I've heard he stays at the same hotel as the rest of the WWE crew. It's not like the guy is sequestered away like a Grand Jury. I can understand the frustration of him being on top, but the reality is, his name means greater box office for Wrestlemania and that does trickle down to everyone on the card. There's certainly a give and take to him being there, and it's certainly not all a negative.


And I really don't get the "he's stealing other guys' spots" bullshit either, especially considering just how thin the roster is to begin with, and the fact that WWE has done jack shit to properly elevate the people they have.

But to be fair, The Rock constantly Tweeting about how John Cena sucked dick in college and has a vagina is hardly the best tack to take for him either while promoting this match.


>So, to that end, if Cena is a mouth piece for anyone, it's not
>Vince or Hunter, but the boys in the back, who believe it or
>not, do matter more than Dwayne at this point.

No, no, and no again. John Cena is a mouthpiece for Vincent Kennedy McMahon, not "the boys in the back," even though some do agree with him and some don't but say they do just to go along to get along. And before you ask "who," then ask for "sources," just be aware that cats like Meltzer and Mitchell talk to "the boys in the back" all the time and report what they find, as often as PWI does.


>So for all your trashing of Cena (who I don't really even
>like, BTW), and slobbing of Punk who has said the EXACT SAME
>SHIT in live promos and interviews, that sentiment goes well
>beyond Cena. If anything, Cena has set himself up as the
>leader of this generation better than ever.

With that last sentence, you sound like a mark. And saying that I'm tired of hearing Cena cry about the same shit for about the last 365 days is far from "trashing" him. If you look through these posts on these boards, I'm usually the guy defending Cena from the other cats here. And while I'm a fan of Punk, I don't like or respect the fact that he's echoing Vince's thoughts about "Dwayne."

But saying that I didn't like Cena's promo because I'm sick of his fucking whining about The Rock leaving is far from "trashing" him. And if anything, it's a referendum on the Chairman, who's so fucking stupid and senile and insulated at this point that he can't seem to understand the simple fucking concept of a rising tide lifting all boats.


>And no, I don't think this is OMFG BEST THING EVER!!!, I just
>think it's a damn good promo.

Well, for the final time, I didn't. His tone was nice and aggressive, but the thing was not only repetitive, it was also SO calculated to get dudez to like him (ie, shitting on his own movie because that's what they think is a reason why dudez hate Cena) that he came of as phony, weak, AND whiny. So it looks like we're going to have to agree to disagree.

In response to Reply # 114


  

          

That seems to be the consensus. Has he said anything or did he sign a short term contract?

Because last time he came back, he stayed for a few years. The quick, several month run just doesn't seem to fit Jericho. He seems to be on that stay a couple years, then take a long break.

MVP is a big Japan mark too and he says the only dude he ever knew that had as vast a knowledge of Japanese wrestling as he did was Johnny Ace.

In response to Reply # 99


  

          

Said Johnny Ace pretty much gave him the Diamond Cutter and praised his knowledge of Japan. Listened to DDP give an interview on the Bolin Alley a few days ago. It's about 90 minutes long and DDP talks for most of it. The first time I've ever heard anyone shut the Bolins up for any length of time.

Fucking money.

https://twitter.com/#!/WWERawGM

Congrats to #TheSimpsons on their 500th Episode. Only 477 more and they'll have as many episodes as my show, #Raw. Til tomorrow.

We're just a few minutes away from #Chamber, which means we're just a few (more) minutes away from my MEGA-ANNOUNCEMENT. All caps=yelling.

RT @WWEUniverse: Should @WWERawGM become the General Manager of BOTH #Raw and #SmackDown? http://wwe.me/9ak9z #WWE <---I voted 'yes.'

What an overwhelming response from the @WWEUniverse following my announcement about controlling #Raw and #SmackDown. Mostly positive!

It's not like @GMSmackDown is doing anything as GM. As Plato said, "The measure of a man is what he does with power." And I'm #BigJohnny

120. "They seem to be moving to uniting the titles maybe next year"
In response to Reply # 113


  

          

It starts with the GM feud and I assume a 6 man WM match or something.

Eventually 1 man becomes GM of both shows and the rosters get combined.

Maybe RR next year a unification match

The titles will change by then but wouldn't the perfect scenario there be Punk vs Bryan as the 2 shows champs? Is there a better feud there could be to unite the titles?

If they did that it would probably wind up Cena vs Punk or Cena vs Orton though.

It's funny how Brown knows he would lose so isn't trying to act tough and is just trying to act above the whole thing.

Then want to be glib about it

So I guess I'll spell it out for you

Chris Benoit abused Nancy Benoit long before the murders

In other words

He. Was. An. Abuser.

What did Chris Brown get in trouble for? Here's a hint: it wasn't for murdering Rihanna.

In other words, you're trying too hard to make the wrong connection.

Chris Benoit was the last highly public case of a wrestler who abused his s.o., unless I'm forgetting someone else.



Look, just go with it, will ya?

Punk wasn't calling out musicians he was calling out a specific one for being a woman beater.

Chris Brown would gain nothing by saying, well someone else who does your job beat women.

It would be the same as making the steroid comment which Punk quickly dismissed as not applying to him.

if brown would learn to take the high road like other high-profile dudes with DV issues before him, people wouldn't still go after him.

as you know, punk knows how to push buttons, get a reaction, and LOL about it. kinda like what he did with shawn merriman. it's what punk's very, very good it, whether it's in the arena drawing heat as a heel or gunning it on twitter.

brown's just the latest victim and looking like a bit of a cunt in the process.

I agree with you. I dig Chris Brown and try my best to ride for dude and say that he paid his debt to society and deserves to continue doing what he loves to do to make his bread

But then he busts out a window at ABC, or calls Raz-B a bunch of "f*ggots," or tells his "haters" to "eat a dick" or whatever after he wins a Grammy, and it's like, fuck

... since he's also a convicted domestic abuser, and even though lurking in these threads and glancing at Scott Keith's blog is the closest I get to following the product these days, I know Punk has worn a Steve Austin shirt on the air and Austin continues to be one of his professed idols.

Mainly because it's essentially a rip-off of CM Punk's straight edge heel gimmick, and because there is no way to view a vegan as bad ass.

Which I don't think they'll keep going with anyway, because he's such a smarmy little shit on the microphone that he doesn't need it. The "Yes! Yes!" thing is annoying as fuck, and the perpetual smirk he's got now is just fantastic heel work. He was a dull babyface, but the turn has been excellent.

which are more of Vince, the habitual steak-wrap-with-ketchup eater, hating on anything he thinks is "different" and/or "unmanly"

Now Vince is well known to hate vegans on a personal level, I suppose. I'm sure you'll tell us you have it on good info that Vince hates Vegans and the whole reason DB is at mania is to get a squash match with Hunter's Boy Shamus- who is Irish, just like Vince, so we ALL KNOW Shamus is out there as a metaphor to represent Vince so that Vince can prove to the world that vegans are weak bunch of pussies.

This is really just Vince hating on something he doesn't like and not playing up a very real element of the person behind this character like they've done extensively since forever. It's not DB being a vegan and Vince trying to utilize that, he just hates vegans. If that were the case, he could have simply made up a vegan character out of nowehere with anyone and done that. I suppose you'll tell us he's just been waiting for the right guy to come along so he can vent his longstanding hatred for vegans.

Look, every character isn't a mouth piece for Vince to voice his hatred for something. In the in it just sounds like you hate Vince and read way too much into things because you believe everything you see written in a dirt sheet.

This kind of information has been corroborated not just by "dirt sheets" but by those who have actually worked with Vince

And you're trying to be cute with the "who cares about inside information if it ain't verified," but I'm pretty sure you're aware that the sources of this information can't out themselves, because it would cost them their jobs

It's not fiction, even though you really, really want to believe that it is

So in the future, can you do us all a favor and stop sounding like a mark every time you post? Or, better yet, stop getting mad when people take a less-than-heroic view of your dad and his views?

We'd appreciate it, bro.

In response to Reply # 161


          

I'm not a mark, but that's a lot better than a guy who sounds like he just lost his last shot at wwe stardom on an episode of NXT and got fired before he reached the locker room.

Or, worse yet, an 'i-know-everything-that-goes-on-behind-the-scenes-because-i-read-it-somewhere' smark who thinks every bitter comment from a bitter ex employee orcurrent employee who doesn't like his lot in the company is gospel?

Okayplayer. I'd rather be a mark than a hit dog getting bent out of shape because there's a vegan douchebag character on a professional wrestling show.

But here's the deal, I'm going to keep posting the news and views from "dirt sheets" and people who know far more shit about this than we do, and you're going to continue having "but HOW DO YOU KNOW OH GOD you is such a know-it-all wannabee jobber" hissy fits and menstrual cycles about it.

Or, you could just not respond to anything I type. Nah, that'd be too much like common sense, cause, you know, somebody's gotta have the last word, right?

FOH, slim.

These topics and my (and other's) views on them shouldn't bother you that much.

Now, go ahead and say some more dumb shit about "future ex employees getting bent out of shape" about whatever the fuck. Or, you can continue posting like a butt hurt member of the McMahon family. It's your choice, but your opinions officially don't mean much to me at this point.

Now go cry about it.

I make observations about your posts that explicitly have to do with the content of those posts relying almost exclusively on 'oh I read it somewhere'.

Meanwhile, you start talking about menstrual cycles and hissy fits and mad while barely even touching on the actual content of my posts.

LOL. The 'mad' in this equation. Do you and swag on though, just make sure you set your swag meter to maximum on your response because the header won't even get read.

and it's far from over. At this point, there's about 5 other guys on that roster that should be champion over him, and he'll probably end up dropping the title to HHH's boy at WrestleMania.

But A.J. is hot tho.

Too bad The Rock hasn't starred in any of their movies. The film division had a $12 million write-off and Vince said they might do away with it at a certain point if it keeps losing money. But then he said he doesn't see the division coming to that point.

L.

And there was no profit for PPV because they spent so much promoting Survivor Series.

He was also vague about the exact startup date for the network, just saying "fall 2012"

171. "and they shit the bed on their Q4 earnings release yesterday."
In response to Reply # 164


          

missed expectations on revenue and EPS ($-0.09 vs. $0.20)

time to dump the film division, but vince is completely myopic... (swipe from their conf. call)

During the quarter, WWE Studios recognized revenue of $4.3 million compared to $7.9 million in the prior year quarter. The decline was driven by the relative performance of our film releases in the current and prior year quarters. Film profits on an unadjusted basis declined $13.2 million from the prior year quarter, primarily due to $12.2 million in non-cash film impairment charges. These charges stem from lower DVD sales projections and revised ultimate expectations for our previous releases, The Reunion, See No Evil, Knucklehead and The Chaperone as well as pending releases, Bending the Rules and Barricade.

Excluding the impairment charges for these films, adjusted film profit declined $1.1 million due to lower receipts from our license films. As mentioned in the previous call and reiterated by then, we continue to monitor the performance of our film business and make adjustments to improve our future performance. Some recent changes to our approach include increasing emphasis on genres with greater pay TV and international appeal. Using co-productions to reduce our equity investment per film and selling the international distribution rights prior to the completion of our film projects. The production of two films for release in 2012, No One Lives and The Day exemplify this approach.

We've also recently announced a partnership with 20th Century Fox to co-produce and co-finance, redirect to DVD title, including the third installment of our successful Marine franchise. In total, we expect to release between three and five movies in 2012.

As mentioned previously, there are number of compelling reasons for WWE to participate in the movie business, including leveraging our core competencies and content creation and extending our audience reach. Although movies will not be released under this revised approach until the latter part of 2012, we expect that will reduce the risk and yields greater returns over the long-term.

Your best bet is to ignore that and comment on the news being presented, that is, if you can strain your disbelief in it long enough

Also, let's try to stop making these posts about me and what I do and know, thanks, that'd be great

>I like highlighting it every chance I get, and

I mean, you decided you couldn't simply let it go and felt the need to take a cheap shot in a discussion away from the two 'discussions' that had already ended. So in response to being called out for it, you come up with this childish bit?

>Your best bet is to ignore that and comment on the news being
>presented, that is, if you can strain your disbelief in it
>long enough

Or, your best bet could be to ignore me too, right? I mean, wouldn't this go both ways? Do you see me bringing you up outside of our exchanges? No? No, you don't. But you're childish and so the stance is "I'm gonna be a complete ass and talk shit every chance I get, and you should just ignore it".

>Also, let's try to stop making these posts about me and what I
>do and know, thanks, that'd be great

I ended two strings of 'discussion' (if you could even call it that, what with your inability to have a disagreeable conversation in a civil manner and all) with you. Done. Over. Buuuuuut your immature ass couldn't just leave it alone. So, after bringing a dead conversation back up, you've got the nerve to spit THIS nonsense? It was done and over. You brought it back into play, remember? SO, how bout you just let it die? I mean, if you *really* wanted the theme of what you do or don't know to die.... you would have let it die when it was already dead.

They can show all those times Rock filmed youtube clips and they played them on Raw and then the 1 or 2 times they actually met face to face.

Few Fruity Pebble references, few movie star references, catch phrase, catch phrase, mocking a catch phrase, tweet, tweet, catchphrase..end scene

Punk/Jericho has been a more interesting feud to watch over the last year already than Rock/Cena

I could type a few paragraphs of the fail that is Rock/Cena but it doesn't even inspire me to do that much.

I hope the match is actually good. I mean, with those two, it really could be Rock/Hogan redux. the buildup might as well be a Festus/Ralphus feud with Michael Cole as guest referee match though.

Since Rock represents "Attitude" they could have really played up the whole "Fuck PG" angle of it that Rock seems to represent. But Cena taking heat as he did in that feud for some of his (admittedly funny) comebacks, tells us it's really a different time nowadays.

And it doesn't help when Cena tweets shit like this:

>"Flying to LA for fri night at staples (Raw house show). Then back to Daytona for green flag @ 500. Then off to Portland just in time for Dwayne to bury me. Sounds like a fun few days. Giddy up."

*glares at lc ceo*

Really, Cena? Really, dude? You're the top babyface and THIS is what you Tweet, instead of "looking forward to what Dwayne has to say on Monday. Don't matter, his ass is mine on April 1" or some other, more macho shit than what he did Tweet.

Good Lord.

That has the potential to be a classic technical match, like Jericho/Michaels or Bret Hart/Davey Boy Smith. I wanna see them pull out all the stops, and have the time to do it.

But I'm a mark for both those guys, so...

184. "*head tilt* @ anyone who doesn't say Cena/Rock"
In response to Reply # 182


  

          

Hate the build up (or lack thereof) in the last few months, but the fact is this is basically a sequel to Hogan and Rock from WM18, and the energy is going to be just as crazy. It's the Rock's first singles match in a long ass time, he was the biggest start in the business when wrestling was at it's peak, and Cena has been the WWE posterboy for like 7 years now.

Obviously it isn't going to be the best technical match, but the crowd is going to be absolutely EXHAUSTED after Rock/Cena, and Jericho & Punk wouldn't benefit at all having to follow that.

I remember some WM DVD or something where HHH/Jericho both disagreed with the decision to put their match after Rock/Hogan because of the energy that was used during the entire Rock/Hogan match that HHH/Jericho simply couldn't match.

I'd say the last 4 matches should be, in this order:
World Title: Daniel Bryan v. Sheamus
Hell in a Cell: Undertaker v. Triple H
WWE Title: CM Punk v. Chris Jericho
John Cena v. The Rock

And they'll prob throw whatever divas match they are planning on having in between the first and last two just to give the crowd a break.

186. "Agreed it has to be Rock/Cena because of the crowd"
In response to Reply # 184


  

          

The title match should be the final match by definition, and it will be the best match of the night, but it will suffer from the crowd winding down from Rock/Cena.

I was at WM 18 in Toronto and the Rock/Hogan match was the coolest thing I've ever been a part of live, when they followed it up with the woman's match and Jericho vs HHH we could have just left, the crowd was dead.

The best crowd reactions would be HHH/Taker after Jericho/Punk but they have to give some respect to the world title match and put it 2nd to last

that might be largely because Punk (a) doesn't have the back/neck problems that Y2J's past opponents have and (b) is a bit better at selling/protecting himself in the ring

Jericho has mentioned before that a lot of the WWE wrestlers are simply too big to use it on, where when he was going against WCW cruiserweights, that wasn't a problem.

I think he'll do the torch passing. But even if he doesn't i wont be mad. They still have nobody in the entire company that can control a crowd like that. Notes or no notes.

Cena isn't going to get more over than he is now, or has ever been. Rock is back for WrestleMania in Miami. It makes no sense for him to job.

Wrestlemania's buyrate will be based off of his name, not Cena's.

If Cena wins, Miami is going to boo the WWE completely out of the state. They'd be retarded to put Cena over for that match.

if you put Rock over Cena, you essentially shit all over the last near-decade of Cena carrying the company. I don't even LIKE Cena. But that is bad bad bad business if Rock goes over.

You go out there and have some ridiculous finish in order to put Cena over for no reason IN ROCK'S HOME TOWN, and you'll kill that crowd.

Cena's jobbed several times before. People expect him to lose to Rock at WrestleMania so it's not going to hurt him. There is no long-term value in putting Cena over because he's not going to get more over than he is right now.

Rock/Cena is the main event, and they're going to go on last. You really think Vince is going to allow WrestleMania to go off the air with people booing Cena - his top babyface when Rock isn't there, I might add - out of the building? You're nuts.

206. "I mean, I fucking hate to use the term 'swag' and all, but"
In response to Reply # 195


          

Cena basically strutted around with his dick out on some Dexter St. Jock (c) GOAT Standup Comic (Yeah, I Said It!) and just, well, swaggered all over Dwayne.

Overall he's gotten owned in these encounters with Rocky but now that the gloves are off and he's shed that 'golly-gee' fanboy element he just seems more comfortable. I don't think anyone in their right mind would have expected Cena to not only hold his own with Dwayne in a verbal face to face, but to actually own him, and that's what happened.

It'll be interesting to hear what kind of fallout comes from this, whatever backstage tidbits come through and all. Further, it'll be interesting to see how the next face to face or two goes down.

All in all it was a great job by John tonight. He's slowly converting me into his corner for this one.

197. "Damn, The Rock was shook after Cena cut that promo"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Cena's still talking that Vince bullshit ("Dwayne Johnson wouldn't give a rat's ass if this company shut its doors tomorrow") and appeared to catch Rock off guard with what he was saying, especially the shoot shit about writing notes on his wrist

But the funny thing is, for all of his "shooting" and Vince-fed lines, he's still getting booed

What The Rock failed to hit home was, he may indeed be gone for stretches of time, but while he's gone he's repping the WWE, and when he comes back he makes an instant impact, while Cena's out there getting booed out of the building every week

It's like he started to go down that road but pulled back for some reason and started talking about catchphrases

And of course it didn't help that Cena got to cut him off right when he was starting to gain momentum

None of that matters, though, The Rock shouldn't have been that thrown off by Cena's response

Cena rose to the challenge

But this shit still smells fishy, marks be damned

Like, why doesn't Rock say "hey John, you seem like an alright guy. But on the real you could make a legitimate case for me as being the best performer ever."

or "hey John, good to see you again. Listen I hate to break it to you but seriously though you could make a legitimate case for me being in the greatest Wrestlemania main event ever."

and even "John, how's it been dude? Bro, by the way, you're just kind of fucking lame and my naps display more charisma than even your best matches." ???

And listen, as I've noted, I don't have any problems with Cena

But The Rock shoulda blew this dude out of the water with this promo

Instead, he stammered and repeated himself after Cena's shoot comments about wrist notes

It's like, really? THAT shit bothered you, Rock? If this were '02, that nigga woulda shrugged that shit off, said something smarmy about it, then threatened to slap Cena out of the arena

But I'm telling you, man, Rock is definitely there to elevate Cena, but he's not there to be made to look this bad

Something's up

stopped and got in Cenas face after the notes comment. He couldn't get it back together. PLUS Cena had fans clapping when he left and the Rock was actually getting boo'd with those mistakes. Loved it. Just was Cena needed.

I think it was a perfectly executed planned segment designed to make people think Cena is on Rock's level even if in reality Rock had to step down some levels to get there.

look what it yields;
- brings Rock down a peg to Cena's level, which Cena needed
- raises the question of "is Rock losing it?"
- proves Cena isn't shook about this opportunity at all.

Maybe Rock and Cena thought it up on their own, because if the writers wanted to get that point across they would show Rock with a bad case of diarrhea or something

In response to Reply # 215


  

          

When has WWE ever been this sly/subtle about shit?

I guess I have such a low opinion on the Creative that it's more feasible to me that Rocky was legitimately shook than Creative coming up with it, lol.

But dude could never really get into a rhythm during the promo. He kept breaking into Fallon-esque laughs and never quite reached the intensity needed to match Cena's promo from last week. When Cena left it didn't feel like Rock was able to drive his final point home "John, lemmie tell you something, but let me say this, but lemmie tell you something" So he pulled the veteran move and fell back on his catchphrase and closed it.

Rock's one of the best to ever do it, but dude isn't infallible. It's not unreasonable for a guy months removed from live TV to Poppa Doc himself in the middle of the ring.

218. "The notes are the main thing making me think work"
In response to Reply # 216


  

          

I've never seen a wrestler have notes written on their hand, let alone so blatant and in big black marker. There's no way that the first person I can ever remember having to do that was The Rock, and definitely no way that production wouldn't have done all they could to show him from a different angle, especially after the first glimpse.

They wanted us to see that

We'll see what direction WWE spins it when they recap the segment. So far on the website they haven't really been pushing that agenda, but if it isn't a work, they'll make it a work.

209. "i havent been in here in like a yr or so..."
In response to Reply # 201


  

          

but i came to say that cenas promo was abt as dope a promo as ive ever heard him give.
i actually felt bad for rock.
im team cena, have been for a while.
the rocks shtick is boring to be honest.
and i love him.
but he kinda was wearing thin on me by the end of mania last yr.
me and my friends at the georgia dome expecting something to happen, and nothing.
next night he sets up the match at wm28.

it was lame.
rock is all talk.
and its worn thin.

anyway, that shit tonight tho makes me think either Vince is gonna bury the rock for good, and rock doesnt realize it.
or cena is gonna lose and turn heel immediately.

223. "Makes me wonder if it will ever do big ratings again"
In response to Reply # 222


  

          

Road to Wrestlemania, The Rock on the show for the first time in awhile.....and a 3.1? Sad.

His promo was not very good either:...not gonna bring anyone back off the hype of that or anything. I was bored, sad to say. His comeback promo last year was way better. Hopefully things pick up in the coming weeks. If this angle doesn't get the casual fan interested and draw new viewers in, what will?

And just as an aside, that Jericho-Punk promo was great. Classic way to build interest in a big match right there. Jericho is damn near the GOAT at this shit now, it's just too bad a lot of his best material came post 2008, in an era with not a lot of viewers. They can talk about HHH-Taker being a battle of the last two left, but Jericho is really the last one left who has actually had something to offer in recent years. He's the only one who I can watch now and still gives that old school wrestling superstar vibe off.

...their hardon for ratings just baffles me.

I could write a 10,000 word essay on the dozens of reasons the WWE is out of touch with the public in 2012, but when I got to ratings it would seem too obvious a topic. I wouldn't even know where to begin.

227. "Ratings matter because of sponsors"
In response to Reply # 226


  

          

I'm with you that ratings are no longer a fair judge of what people are into or watching since you can access anything at anytime through a ton of different ways.

Sponsors however care about the Nielsen number because it is the only way to guarantee their commercials are being shown to viewers who don't change the channel. And since the most money comes from them, they still get catered to.

229. "Well yes, but USA determines what to put on the air"
In response to Reply # 228


  

          

I'm not saying Raw is close to being pulled, but let's say WWE gets to a point where they openly say, yes TV ratings arent as important as they once were due to DVR, youtube etc...

Then ratings continue to fall and sponsors stop wanting to pay such a high price to advertise on a show nobody is watching live. The next step is USA saying: " we want our sponsorship money and we can make more of that with Monk reruns b/c their old fanbases don't use the internet"

It's tough situation because the TV network is really the one stuck in archaic ways of thinking, but they still control what gets put on the air so WWE still needs to pull in ratings that please them.

230. "WWE doesn't even sell $100M in merch all year."
In response to Reply # 228
Wed Feb-29-12 12:24 PM by Expertise

  

          

So there goes that theory.

And considering due to the Attitude Era and all of the negative connotations for pro wrestling that WWE only draws half of the sponsorship revenue for a channel that gets half of it's ratings, you better believe they care about ratings. If WWE was to somehow drop to a 2.0 consistently, USA would probably dump them. That campaign that the Media Research Center did a few years back did more damage to WWE and pro wrestling as a whole than a lot of people know.

2011 was the first year that WWE legitimately lost money for a year since pre-Attitude Era. Sure; they'll survive, and they have plenty of money, but business is clearly down.

In response to Reply # 231


  

          

See, WWE is a publicly traded company, which means all of their business is out in front street:

http://ir.corporate.wwe.com/file.aspx?IID=4121687&FID=12752661

The latest quarterly report also gave us the total yearly stats... WWE Shop only does $15M/year. Venue Merchandise - what they well at the live events - brought in $18M/yr. They do have licensing fees, which essentially gives retailers permission to use their brands in the stores, which is $54M/yr, but not all of that is merch.

And that's only revenue. They don't profit all of that.

In response to Reply # 233


          

the dividend or at least cut it in half.

a 5% yield is ridiculous, given that none of their peers in the space even have one (while producing higher net margins), with the exception of regal entertainment.

eve's even sexier as a heel, but she's gonna need better mic work if this run's gonna last.

after their opening segment, i'm looking forward to punk/jericho.

but then they made them the butt of Vince's Big Important Commentary on OWS (the walkout angle/HHH IS COOLER THAN YOU), and then fed them to the Rock/Super Cena (getting beaten in a handicap match against Cena before Survivor Series KILLED their heat). Hell, they COULD have just run him in an extended promo with Truth, where Truth continues to find new and interesting ways to exact revenge on getting SCF'd on the stage, if they had the patience.

there was that tournament several months ago on raw where he was basically booked like a face -- he sold an injury early on and won clean both times.

i read somewhere (meltzer?) that ultimately vince sees miz as a good guy. i figure they could push his as a 'tweener' and see how the crowd picks up on it. maybe even move him to smackdown.

women's wrestling, Natty does one of the best Sharpshooters I've ever seen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2jF9qEM-lU

They could pare that shit down to Beth, Natty, AJ, Kharma, Kaitlyn, K2 (who's gotten a LOT better), and bring in like Rachel Summerlyn and Sara Del Rey and actually have an excellent women's division, with women that could have 5 minute matches on Raw, and 20 mins at PPVs here and there.

258. "well, the smackdown montage for Cena/Rock didn't play into"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

the wrist incident at all. They show Rock and you can see the writing, but they didn't play cenas comment at all. They also skipped the rocks "stuttering" after cena came in. iono if that was a work....

Just lost to Big Show in like 30 seconds. From beating Cena last year to not even on the card maybe? Has anyone fallen so far on the card that fast?

Cena just teabagged Rock and Rock ain't even do nothin. I never in a million years would've thought that I'd want John Cena to beat the Rock, nor did I ever think that in the unlikeliest event Rock did come back he'd be so wack. But that's where we're at. I'm actually sort of mad that I'm Team Cena.

well I don't know. I mean Rock is after all an actor, but damn does he appear 100% certifiably checked out.

there's just no way they're this savvy. These are the same people who thought a Kevin Nash main event program in 2011 was a good idea.

274. "are we back to the Cena to go heel thoughts? It's pretty much a "
In response to Reply # 268


  

          

sure thing that we won't see Cena as a heel anytime in the near future. "Rise Above Hate", "Never Give Up", "Be A Star", this nigga is a real life Superman. A boyscout with muscles. They've entrenched him so deep at this point that ... ah fuck it, we've gone over this so many time.

Is it a work or is Rock really this off his game, eh, who knows. We always try to figure things out, I'm enjoying just watching this one.

Will Rock beat Cena? Cena losing makes no sense UNLESS they somehow use rock to lift him up after the match. Like the way they turned Hogan face and Rock saved him from nWo to got the cheers back after being boo'd mercilessly for facing Hogan.

275. "Now it's "Cena 3, Rock 0""
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

And it seems pretty clear by now that this is being done by design, to try and get some of those deep-throated Cena haters to start "respect"ing him by the time of the match

Only problem is that it's making Rock look weak as fuck, even with all of his charisma he can't seem to refute Cena's continued "you left" crying

The only positive for me is that Cena's reminding everyone how good he can be on the mic

Normally I'd be pissy with WWE's even-steven booking philosophy and say how lame it is, but they've seemed to have taken a departure from that with the setup for this match, and it's sorely missed, because it appears that the booking so far is one-sided

While everything you said is pretty valid, I still think the result wil be the same; Cena will get booed out of the building in Miami. With that in mind, why not at least try to bring Rock down a peg for the build?

But they're hell-bent on making this some Twilight, Team Edward vs. Team Jacob shit

But the problem is that only one of these guys has been booked to look strong, and that's Cena, which is going to backfire on them in Miami

At some point Cena has to address that, if only to make himself out to be the underdog of all underdogs, which might help

And while Cena was golden on the mic once again, his no-selling of The Rock last night was irritating, to the point that I was hoping that Rock would tell him to cut it out before he wiped that stupid smirk off of his face

(It's actually nothing new for Cena, he's been smirk no-selling cats for a while now)

Other than that, and with all that being said, Cena once again came off very well (it helped that he "got the last word," as it were)

I just need them to book The Rock to return fire in the ring instead of throwing shit into the lake and doing patriotic song parodies

Everytime Bret would give a promo, Michaels would just clown and completely no sell it, making Bret look foolish. Michaels was constantly booked to outwit Bret. He'd be letting his nuts hang, clowning around, while Bret looked old and mad. That's how Cena-Rock has been the last few weeks.

In response to Reply # 275


  

          

You can't sell the match if Rocky looks like a has been. So aside from elevating Cena (which he didn't really need to begin with), what does the match have to gain by having Rock look like one?

So they open up last night's promo with Cena claiming he shook Rock (acknowledging Rock's mic work) and then overselling the Rock before introducing him (justifying last week's mishaps). Rock came out with heat which should've swept everything that happened under the rug, but then Cena ruined it by no-selling the promo.

My theory is that after last week, WWE shifted gears and booked the next couple RAW's to have the Rock save face. Taped vignettes last night, Rock concert next week, basically just low-risk segments til he gets he can get his rhythm back again. Prolly a tag match the week after that, then the promo we all want to see for the go-home show.

Of course, at the end of the day it doesn't really matter. It is fun to speculate tho.

In response to Reply # 0


          

I'm guessing these people weren't pissed when he showed up and didn't know who the fuck Booker T was.

Dwayne has made a career out of eviscerating, embarrassing, and downright dismissing everyone on the mic. Hell one of, if not THE greatest catch phrase of his career was basically BUILT to bury people. The 'IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!!' interuption is the single most dismissive, condescending, 'you aren't on my level' promo cue ever... but lets all cry for Rock now because it just ain't fair!

That's what his career was built on, destroying everyone in his path verbally. That's what he did best. So, I mean, boo hoo, cry me a damn river when it's his turn to get the short end of the promo stick.

Considering that, at BEST, most people were only able to hold their own with him during his career while the vast majority were eaten alive promo wise? I'm not exactly shedding a tear at Cena- the current workhorse and the guy who, like him or not, is their top draw by a mile, clearly getting the better of these altercations.

All this 'booo hoo, Rock is being booked to get his ass handed to him in these promos!" is really nothing more than pouting and sour grapes from anti-Cma AE marks who wanted their blast from the past to put their guy over.

Like it or not, it's a good move to give Cena some balls finally. It's a good move to win back some of the audience that he lost over these last few years. Everyone pissed because it's so one sided to this point is missing it.

WWE wants a 50-50 response in Miami. They want the crowd to be split/ Miami will be hot as fuck for Rock overall, so he doesn't need to be built up so much. This is being done to temper those levels so that Cena has some people in his corner at Mania.

Bottom line? Cena needs to be built up for Mania FAR more than Rock needs to be on an even keel for the event. End of story..

People have probably been surprised. Perhaps mad before realizing it was a work that Rock seemed so Rusty.

I believe I criticized him for writing on his wrist (still not sure if that was a work or not)

I recall reading lots of disbelief, and excitement about where the angle seems to be heading, but don't remember anyone actually whining about the Rock coming off weak.

Feel free to find the whining though, perhaps I forgot or you just consider things whining that I don't.

Which isn't surprising

Maybe it'd be worth my time if he had an actual argument to make, save "LOL, the Rock been dishing it out to peepole for yearz, now it's his turn to get it and cats is MAD plus y'all hate CEna so ha ha ha !!!!!"

Which isn't what people here are saying

And I'm pretty sure this response will invite yet another semi-coherent WWE press release disguised as an "argument"

Yay for the Internets

Unfortunately for him and my "anti-CEnA mark" agenda, I'm not going to bam up the rest of the post with him and his dumb shit

In response to Reply # 294


          

You're entire stance is on some 'Vince is masterminding this big FUCK You Dwayne' campaign.

One minute you lament how lame it is that WWE tends to book 'even steven' but NO!!! NOT IN THIS CASE!!! They need this one to be even steven!!

It's lame to you now because... why?

Because it's Rock on the losing end of these promos, that's why. yes, your stance is a whiny one.

God forbid someone else get built up at his expense, even as he's nothing more than a part time performer.

As far as an argument beyond 'you mad'- which you've been since the topic hit- they want a split crowd in Miami. So to get there, they need to build up Cena strong, because Rock could wear a tutu and some wings and guys like you would still lick the sweat out of his asshole (I know that for a fact because he did, and you still are) at Mania.

Cena being built up is a good thing. Doing so at the Rocks expense heading into Mania is a good thing.

But hey, I suppose that's just another WWE press release, as is anything that doesn't completely shit on Vince, Paul and the rest of the company in your eyes.

Cena has made himself worth rooting for in this thing. Rocky will be fine at Mania. The People's Strudel will dangle in all it's glory to your hearts delight. I promise, buttercup

I tend to attract the lamest, "I wanna argue all day cause I'ma fucking loser and you is a hypocrite BRO!!!!!" thumbsucking-assed dudes on these boards, I swear to Christ

And that dude's been M.I.A. as of late; perhaps he ran into a bammed-out, 300+ post thread that he couldn't handle and had to flee?

Or maybe he "rebirthed" himself as this bamma

Hard to know for sure

I mean, birds of a feather and all that, right? If you tend to attract a certain type of poster, doesn't that sort of say something about you? People who tend to attract a certain type are often pretty similar to the people they attract. If anything, you're not as different from the so-called 'bammas' you seem to attract as you'd like to think. Something to consider.

Now I'm being accused of being some other guy you had issues with. Lovely. Can't do anything but roll my eyes at this.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

He hasn't really said anything great the last 2 weeks. I couldn't believe how cornball his "sitting alone in the stands" vignette was.

It's clearly the WWE trying hard to make him seem as strong The Rock on some level - since they won't be wrestling until WM. It's the only way to "outdo" The Rock before then, but it seems pretty tame (and lame) when he does it.

The Rock has been pretty lame, but I really don't think this is winning any fans for Cena.

Go Wings.

and it's like dude, that shit wasn't really that funny... that's why I'm hating personally (and I like Cena) just because the shit he's saying is only kinda corny instead of over the top corny he thinks he's fucking Richard Pryor on that mic! I hope the Rock beats the shit out of him for real!

"you're only half right about me being a bitch, I'm the SON OF A BITCH who's gonna whip your ass, blahblah" then drops the mic like he said some historic shit... I'm like really? The delivery, the line itself, both TERRIBLE...

I admit, i only skim over to raw a few times on monday nights but I swear some of you just can't admit the shit is just wack, none of these dudes can cut a promo worth of shit

lame

So it's been scrapped from WM28.
Probably move it to Summerslam to showcase it there.
Or just bring back the PPV.
Wade supposed to be out 3-4 months, would be perfect timing.

It's retarded considering guys like Dolph and Kofi and Truth still don't have a mania slot. Dolph's the guy that's ready to break out anyways. Throw Tyson Kidd in there and even Justin Gabriel, perhaps Christian and have a spotfest for the ages.

just have someone- maybe even Kofi- win, have Barrett come back pissed off about how he was robbed of his Wrestlemania spot, lay Big Show to waste, then go after Kofi and challenge for the briefcase in a ladder match at Summerslam.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

tmz.com:

>WWE star Kia "Kharma" Stevens did not deliver a healthy baby boy on December 31st, despite what she told friends. Kia tells TMZ the child tragically died before she was able to give birth.

Kia tells us she is still devastated over the loss ... and initially lied to friends about the child being "healthy" because she was incredibly emotional and was afraid to tell the public the truth after announcing her pregnancy on live TV.

Kia says she's finally coming to grips with everything ... and wants to help other women in her situation.

"I am planning to start a foundation for women that have experienced the same thing" ... Kia says ... adding, "It's a bigger club than people think."

Kia tells us she's already organizing several events to raise awareness ... and will have information about her foundation available on her Twitter page in the near future.

I just hope and pray Vince is still sane enough NOT to work this into a story line. I also hope he's not in a haste to rush her back. Hopefully she gets all the time she needs to return when she feels ready, not when Vince has decided she needs to return.

In response to Reply # 318


  

          

When she announced her pregnancy, it was estimated that she would have the baby around Wrestlemania. So when she showed up at Royal Rumble I was like "huh" and when she told people she got pregnant way before she announced, I ignored the horrifying feeling that maybe she lost the baby.

If Vince incorporates this into a storyline...I hope his heart pulls a Breitbart on him.

They completely ignored it, which is unusual if it was a work. Usually WWE beats you over the head with things they want you to remember, and tend to be pretty thorough in erasing things they *don't* want you to remember.

I'm still not convinced it's a shoot, but this definitely makes the feud that much more intriguing.

The idea is to get the fanbase interested in some of the WWE history, then when the network debuts the fanbase will want more of it bad enough to harass their cable company into carrying the network

Reminds me of Mr Perfect (in more than 1 way) but he is just so good at selling and making other people look good, and he is so good at making the crowd cheer for him to fail that I think he is just destined to always lose the big feud and big match...at least for the time being until his character changes- if it does.

I think he will only be used in main event storylines to really get the crowd behind someone else.

In response to Reply # 339


  

          

up for mania and Jericho coming back, there was no major feud for him, so he's been doin the job. He should really be facing CM Punk for the belt imo, they had two of the best matches in recent memory.

340. "Damn, the Rock had titty (Gynecomastia ) surgery wow.... (swipe)"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

http://www.cosmetic-md.com/articles/gynecomastia-procedures-increase/

Silver screen, TV screen, monitor

When stars reveal that they've struggled with certain problems - or have undergone certain surgical procedures, including plastic surgery - the public often follows.

Case in point: In early 2005, professional wrestler and movie star Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock, revealed that he had undergone gynecomastia correction. His revelation was quickly followed by articles in the same vein by multiple print media outlets and discussed on various radio and television talk shows. In the days and weeks that followed that media exposure, Dr. Blau says he experienced a "significant" increase in the number of calls to his office seeking information on the procedure.

It's well known that he's had these surgeries. It mostly comes from his Samoan heritage, in which they are likely to have moobs due to their genetics.

But if you look back at times during his feud with Mankind/Mick Foley back in 98(?) then you'll see him wrestling in a t-shirt. That was right after he had the surgery, in order to hide the bandages/scars.

And I'm digging the twist on Punk-Jericho, even if we've already seen it with Jake Roberts back in the '90s

I'm guessing at some point, just like back then, Punk will be attacked by Jericho, who will pull out a bottle of "Jack Daniels" and force Punk to drink it

In response to Reply # 353


  

          

Is it for everyone to hope that the ring implodes at WM due to corniness, and we never have to hear from Cena or The Rock again?

I mean... Cena mean-mugging Thuganomics where he is still saying silly shit that isn't really hard-hitting. He reminds me of the guy who says "Ohhhhhhhh!" after he says what he thinks is witty.

Then you have The Rock who clearly is just being silly and not really playing a character who cares anymore. I'm not sure his motive for the match at this point. Then he stumbles over his Rock You song.

I feel like their match is just going to have two podiums and a moderator.

Go Wings.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

This dude was stumbling words that were right in front of him on the jumbo tron. Sounded out of breath, was off beat, and just plain sucked. The first Rock concert was so much better especially because he was a heel and dissing the Sacramento crowd. This one got corny fast.

Loved Cena bringing it back to the rap battle, too. I was praying from him to come out to his old music as well.

2 more RAWs before WM. What the hell do they do now? I can't see them just coming out and cutting 2 promos a night for the next two weeks. They have change it up a little bit at least. I'm assuming Rock will be absent next week and will be back for the last RAW before Miami. But at this point what does either of them say that hasn't already been said to death? They've said everything, then rapped it, then sang it. Where do they go next? Rock v. Cena: The Dubstep Challenge?

I don't know if he's strong enough, maybe. If you watch Scott Hall, he gets dudes way up with full arm extension. Maybe it helps to be 6'7" and roided up.

They need to turn him into a hell raisin' country boy. First change that godawful entrance music to something kinda redneck like Skynyrd or Molly Hatchet. Something uptempo and swinging. Make his standard outfit similar to what HBK wears these days: jeans, boots, western-style shirt with the sleeves ripped off. Grow his hair out a little and don't shave.

Then have him be pure babyface and feud him with Mark Henry. Instant overness, I'm tellin' ya.

This is now my OKS WWE agenda. Main event DiBiase.

380. "WWE shutting down FCW"
In response to Reply # 0
Tue Mar-20-12 10:47 AM by Y2Flound

  

          

This just seems dumb to me, like a cost saving measure.

Instead of stopping the production of awful movies that lose money let's just stop developing talent. At least open up this supposed development territory first.

http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/251625-report-wwe-shutting-down-developmental-territory-fcw

According to F4Wonline.com, WWE officials notified television partner Bright House Network Monday that they have opted to cease their affiliation with the Florida based sports network because they are shutting down Florida Championship Wrestling effective immediately.

FCW programming, which was taped last Thursday in Tampa, Florida, will cease to air on the network in three weeks.

Everyone involved with Florida Championship Wrestling will relocate to WWE's home location of Stamford, Connecticut, until a further decision regarding the developmental programs future is announced.

WWE employees reportedly have been given the impression that a developmental promotion will ultimately open in Connecticut with the possibility of a second at an undetermined location.

The promotion was started by former wrestler Steve Keirn in 2007 to be WWE's second developmental promotion when they ended their relationship with the Georgia-based Deep South Wrestling in early 2007. It became their only developmental promotion in early 2008 when they ceased any affiliation with Ohio Valley Wrestling.

381. "Hmm."
In response to Reply # 380


  

          

No, that won't be good for wrestler development. But then again, from a cost-savings perspective, why run FCW or OVW when you can just poach talent from ROH and TNA? Both current champs were ROH guys, and they're both better in the ring than anyone FCW developed in recent memory, except maybe Ziggler and Kingston.

But yeah--they should quit making shit movies first, then kill off FCW if they still have to.

Hopefully it'll be 2, even.

But Triple H (who just took over as head of development) is right: something needed to be done with development. What stars did FCW develop? And contrast that with OVW.

The guys were only working one night a week in that small gym. You had guys in development that were languishing there for years. It was simply counterproductive.

I was at Raw Monday where they also taped matches for Smackdown tomorrow and he was there and had a match with Kofi Kingston for Smackdown. So its not like he's not in the building, the writers for whatever reason just haven't put him in any matches......

Lest someone suffer an injury like Wade Barrett, rendering them unable to perform. Last week's Raw matches were all of no consequence, featuring performers low on the card or not at all on it (Christian, Brodus Clay) and they've been in a holding pattern for weeks.

Brock Lesnar has reportedly been negotiating with WWE for weeks now

Not sure if he'll appear this Sunday, but he is no longer under UFC contract

So, file this away, just in case he shows up as a "surprise" at some point

how amazing would the end of wrestlemania be if Rock vs Cena ended with Lesnar just laying both out.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Should make for an interesting visual on Sunday night

Also, Meltzer/Alvarez are reporting that parts of the show are being rewritten, possibly to accomodate the long-awaited return of

Fit Finlay

Okay, maybe not him, but there are a couple of other cats who are in Miami who are "not with the company" right now but are apparently very close to re-signing, or at least playing roles in the show... I already mentioned one of them...

And the Hall of Fame show was said to be very good, too bad we'll only see an hour of it...

Somebody should start some predictions or something... the only locks to me, as of now, are the Undertaker and John Cena going over... unless The Rock indicates that he's coming back to wrestle next year, in which case, throw that "John Cena's definitely going over and that was that plan all along" thing out the window...

396. "MANIA PREDICTIONS:"
In response to Reply # 395
Sun Apr-01-12 07:22 AM by Tiger Woods

  

          

Randy Orton over Kane
Diva A over Diva B
Team Jonny over Team Teddy when Albert makes his return and destroys TT finalist
Big Show over Chody Rhodes
Sheamus over Daniel Bryan
The Undertaker over Triple H (Lesnar return?)
CM Punk over Chris Jericho
John Cena over the Rock

That reads like all baby faces going over except for Team Jonny, but that's ok. Jonny Ace is the most over heel in the company right now anyway. And presumably in that environment Cena will seem like anything but a baby face.

Gotta hand it fo them, while I give them a B for the overall buildup of the show, I still get really excited when I look at that slate of matches. 4 hours means that matches will get time, there's several solid-to-great matchups, and there's no STUPID celebrity involvement shoe horned into a program no one cares about (hell Rock is more famous than Snooki anyway at this point.)

Also, in regards to rumors of Batista and Lesnar both being driven around by WWE all weekend; today is still April Fool's Day right?

In response to Reply # 396


  

          

Seems a very predictable card and Vince has been all about the last minute swerve recently so I'm sure one of these obvious endings won't happen. My guess for the one nobody expects would be a Bryan win in some shady style just to set up a rematch where he loses later on.

If Sheamus wins though then I'm sure this card will play just as expected, whatever diva team has the chick from Extra will win.

The 4 main events should be great matches but the undercard is pretty awful

4 matches that should be great out of the gate is a lot for a PPV..even a WM.

If anything, the problem here is there's no sneaky good-match havers left who are in situations to do it. There's no ADR (I guess). Ziggler lumped in with the Johnny/Teddy 'get everyone on the card' match. Miz..same thing. Good R. Truth..yep. Woo x 3 too, right? Rey is somewhere with hurt knees..surprise! Kurt Angle is somehow still in TNA. Same for Fat (Samoa) Joe. And Brock didn't get back in time to get on a card officially (him vs Taker would've been ill), but he'll show up tonight methinks. If not him, somebody of general importance is showing up. I know (fine ass) Maria and the Rock are big celebrity match folks to have, but still..somebody else is coming.

Jericho/Punk is sure to be flat out excellent with a couple of flubbed spots just because. The innanet used to call him Jeriblow early during his WWE run for a reason. And Punk will get indy cute from time to time and try something a little bit too squirrelly. Still...its on. It'll be the 2nd best match on the show behind VacationTaker/Haitch w/HBK.

I expect HBK to superkick both HHH and VacationTaker about halfway through the match if it takes that long. Really, Shawn is going to make that match no matter what he does, because he's MFing Shawn Michaels and he does that. But we should all not kid ourselves here..Taker is winning this damn match. I just hope he looks like he's been on a treadmill or near some weights. He's been hiding under the hooded robe/jacket thing every time so he could show up looking like CheetoTaker. They showed hair falling to the floor on the video segments, so I expect he'll come out with some kind of short doo instead of that aweful wig he wore that one time on Raw.

Cena is winning too..right? Right? Yeah...he's winning. But they'll be a gang of kickouts and maybe even some shenanigans before it happens. He'll come up with some new powerful and jackass way to setup his 3rd FU of the match and that'll take it. No way Rock is coming back as a part-time celebrity wrestler and beating Cena..even though Cena be losing at WMs. And it IS Miami...naw, naw, naw...Cena is winning. They'll use Warrior/Hogan WM 6 as the template and it'll be on. Or at least Hogan/Rock WM18. Hopefully this match will be athletic as shit considering the fact that both of these cats are physically monsterous.

Yes...Team Johnny better win that shit or I'm punching somebody. Sure, Booker will kick people, make faces to try to cover up being blown up, and add years onto my life with a WM spinarooni before getting finishered and pinned, but Johnny is the shit and needs to remain. And besides, face Jack Tunneys suck, playa.

I have always wanted to *nasty stuff of all kinds* her, and Maria had quite a bit more tail on her than I remembered on that segment with the divas so I'll certainly be around for the beginning of that match before I go and pee if nothing else.

Cody is beating Show, because Show BE losing at WM.

Orton got jacked..I know Barrett got hurt, but still...getting stuck with Kane on WM is a sign of the times for him.. Sure, he wins, but the match won't be anything special, because that's not what Kane does. I wish Orton was still the killer heel..randomly kicking folks and making other moves that have become mundane look like murder attempts. Now, the Eddy Gilbert/slingshot DDT is a transitional move instead of a 'I'm trying to injure you because I injure people' move.

Sheamus is not winning cuz an active wrestling heel has to win somewhere in here. And who better than American Dragon with fine ass AJ via shady means?

Did Funkasaurus get hurt randomly and I don't remember it? I'm surprised they haven't snuck him on the show somehow. He'll probably be on the free preshow if he's not hurt or suffering from wellness issues.

Net result: I'm watching this because I always do and I expect for the good stuff to be damn good. Since 2001, I've seen most of them the night of (cuz I was outta college/grown/etc).

Since I went to WM 25 here in the H, I pretty much won't miss one no matter what. And I will BE having my ass at the next WM in Houston too. I missed the one with the most epic of the Austin/Rock matches because I'm a dumbass and I didn't understand what I was passing up due to general post-college depression/semi-brokeness...

Last thing...HBK/Taker 1 was even more ridiculous in person..everybody completely lost their shit when Shawn kicked out of that first tombstone..I cussed randomly for 2 minutes straight after that. And I wanted Shawn to win sooooo fuckin bad. Deserves mention as one of the best 'epic' matches ever. Sick mix of athletic brilliance (especially Shawn), powerful storytelling by both guys, an excellent template that allowed them to do so many of their historically relevant spots in situations that made sense, and a crowd that was all about all of it. And as much as folks love to hate them, HHH/Cena had no chance because everyone was exhausted. No one can claim to have completely stolen a show like that. They pulled that off as cats who were already old/legendary/beloved. 'The streak' was a thing before, but now it is like THE thing and Taker doesn't even wrestle anymore.

In response to Reply # 401


  

          

People need to realize that and understand a heel turn as it is usually define is not happening anytime with him

His character is in a spot right now that very few people achieve. Half the audience loves him more than anything and the other half hates him with a passion. If he turns heel the same thing will happen it will just be the opposite audiences on the opposite side.

Love him or hate him, Cena is creatively in a perfect spot, sure his feuds with Kane are awful but that is not his fault. You can put him into programs with guys like CM Punk, Jericho, Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton or whoever you want, and the crowd will be split everytime, and the fans will be passionate about what side they are on. No reason to mess with that.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

First PPV I bought in years. I usually just find a stream if I'm interested enough to watch, but the laptop broke.

I want to pull the trigger and buy it, but I was so let down by that boring ass rumble....I'm not sure.

Jericho-Punk and Taker-HHH seem like locks to be great matches. Bryan-Sheamus should be good, even if Sheamus bores the hell out of me. Bryan is damn good though. And Cena-Rock will obviously be a huge spectacle and I'm sure they'll put on good match and go all out to try to live up to the hype.

Is it worth it for 4 matches? That's 15 bucks a match, because I don't care about the rest of the card at all.

You're getting a nice set of very good to great matchups, and the atmosphere when Rock comes out might be worth the price alone. I understand that's some extreme mark shit to say but it's going to be nuts.

And even though you have eight matches and one musical performance in a four-hour show, something's going to be drastically cut for time. Nevermind that the Divas match will be five minutes, bell to bell tops.

Instead we'll get a bunch of backstage stuff shoehorned in that serves no purpose. I don't know what match will take the brunt and lose minutes, but if I had to bet I would imagine it would be Cody-Show, Kane-Orton, or the comedy fest of Team Johnny-Team Teddy.
