The Wrestling Thread

- WWE has announced that Randy Orton will kick off tonight's RAW from Montreal. Orton will address the Triple Threat match at Payback against Roman Reigns and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.



WWE is focusing on the following points for Raw

* Who is the greater threat to Seth Rollins’ championship?

* Will Dean Ambrose get retribution against The Authority?

* Might we see a new United States Champion?

* Will Ryback feast on Bray Wyatt?

* What will be Barrett’s first act as King of the Ring?

 

Think I will give Raw a miss and watch clash of the champions on the Network.

 

This Raw so far has been absolutely epic my * except for that wee ryback segment

 

No chance Raw has been epic

 

sorry mate you will be surprised comeon sami zayn woop

 

I've actually just put Raw back on again soon as I seen that online

 

Haha thought brett Hart was there for booker T.

 

That dumb stunner from Cena is getting to be annoying

 

yep its now known as the 6 moves of death cena has

 

true :smiley-laughing002:

 

Raw any good last night? Worth watching?

Sami Zayn debuting is good!

Ambrose in the title match now? Brilliant!

 

Raw was quality last night, Best in a while. Cena vs Zayn was outstanding and Ambrose in the title picture is brilliant!

 

- WWE has announced that former NXT Champion Sami Zayn will undergo an MRI following a shoulder injury in his match with United States Champion John Cena on last night's RAW from Montreal.

WWE notes that the MRI will take place tomorrow to determine the extent of the injury. As seen on RAW, Zayn was tended to by a WWE trainer during the match but kept working.

 

Cena ruining another push

 

Skipped Raw two weeks in a row now, but watching some of last night's show back, there were some pretty great moments.

Ambrose/Rollins was a great match, Dean being added to the title match at Payback too obviously, and then Zayn's main roster debut. Did Paul Heyman have some creative input this week?

 

Reigns still sucks, New Day sucks, so I guess they have found his level there, now that the Big Show (surprise!) is not on the scene... Ryback segment was awful, Ambrose and Rollins put on a show, Lana doing ther fandango... could be after they split her and Rusev up that they will have her help to give Fandango yet another push?

Ascension taken out by Cesaro & Kidd... even with the fact that the Ascension are not on that level yet, being in Canada was only ever going to be one ending to that. Cena sucks and Montreal knows it - nice pop for the Hitman, Sami's shoulder - kayfabe or real? Good debut though, but of course no one is going to get to take the US title off Cena in any of these matches.

Ambrose into the ME at Payback... I actually think this was a poor booking decision. There is already a triple threat in place, and they could easily have massaged through this PPV with what they had, but with Ambrose being worked into this scene in recent weeks, they could have hed off and built that as the centre piece for one of the next 2 PPV leading into Summerslam. If they were looking to do a Shield Triple Threat, thik it just seems awkward with Orton in the scene... although can almost write what is going to hapen here, it is being telegraphed pretty obviously. Not that I am complaining about Ambrose being in the title scene, as he is probably the closest thing we have seen to the likes of Mick Foley since the days of... Mick Foley.

Ziggler & Neville v Barrett & Seamus really did seem like an afterthought and really didn't progress any of their storylines much, and there goes the thud of another nail being driven into the coffin of give divas a chance, as it is back to about 2 minutes of TV time, and not even getting through the entrances before it is over. With AJ calling it quits and Paige away doing her movie there was such a glorious opportunity for the likes of Sasha Banks or Charlotte to be brought through, but nope. Naomi's heel turn is going OK, but now scrounging the barrel for to find a suitable partner in crime? idk... As a side note, wonder if this means that the Usos will be turning heel also when they get back? I guess this was the Creative's idea of how to make the Bellas be more face?

 

- Former WWE Superstar JTG will be releasing his first book tomorrow. The book is titled, "*! Why Did I Write This Book?" and will feature backstage stories from his time in OVW and WWE.

Below is promotional material for the book from JTG:


*! WHY DID I WRITE THIS BOOK? Is a compilation of short stories all focused around the four letter word that has ended more wrestling careers than steroids, pills and alcohol combined. HEAT!

HEAT - A "black cloud" that follows a superstar after a personal conflict or misunderstanding between two individuals or more backstage.

In *! WHY DID I WRITE THIS BOOK, I take the reader, on a journey, from the beginning of my career, to the final curtain call; sharing stories on how I battled Heat from day one, while managing to * off more people for writing this book!!!

 

Cena v Rusev is already booked for Payback so why continue the US title invitation? we all no he's gonna retain

 

Thought I'd mention in here that I was drinking on Saturday..

We ended up playing a drinking game that involved WWE 2K15..

There was 6 of us so we decided to do a 6 man battle royal, your players were chosen at random..

Mate 1.. Ric Flair
Mate 2.. Corey Graves
Mate 3.. R Truth
Mate 4.. Big E
Mate 5.. Kane
ME....... John Cena

First two out had to down a pint containing Vodka, Beer, Apple Sourz, Whisky and Pepsi(disgusting)

Thought I was definitely safe with Cena.....

First out went R Truth.. Second out went John Cena.

I now hate John Cena more than I used to.
