The WWE / TNA Wrestling Thread

That could just be the sideplate for the belt.

Storyline-wise, CM Punk must be the person to introduce the new title, absolutely must be. But if they just want to sell a load of replica's quickly, it'll be The Rock to introduce it. I hope they go for Punk.

 

That's the same picture that's been going about only stretched. I'm certain that that's either a side-plate or a early prototype, I don't think the finished article will look like that.

 

Why not bring back the eagle belt

Not seen very much recently, wrestlemania been the only show ive watched from start to finish this year.. is the product still rotten or is it on the up and worth my time again?

 

The 3 hour long episodes of RAW haven't been up to much but last week's was quite good

 

- Following WWE's SummerSlam pay-per-view, it was believed that the Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H rematch would not happen until November's Survivor Series pay-per-view. Now that match is being rumored for October's * in a Cell pay-per-view. It should be noted that no date is confirmed but the rematch is in WWE's plans.

Regarding Lesnar's future with WWE, we noted a few weeks back that most within WWE expect Lesnar to be offered a new contract once his current deal expires at WrestleMania 29.

Lesnar is said to be very happy with his current deal and most believe he would sign another contract if WWE offered him the same stipulations. The 2012 SummerSlam buyrate will likely play a huge factor in what WWE offers Brock next time.

We received an e-mail from a fan who says WWE made his son cover his t-shirt up for last week’s Saturday Morning Slam match that was taped with Brodus Clay vs. Curt Hawkins, airing this coming Saturday. Reader Kyle Bailey sent the following:
“We had really just sat down and started eating when one of the guys came over and said my 10 year old sons shirt wasn’t appropriate for a kids television show. My son rides dirtbikes in his spare time and his shirt said “SHUT UP AND RIDE.” I tried to argue with the guy but he handed us a Rey Mysterio t-shirt and said that they were filming a lot of crowd footage with kids tonight. We had him put on the Mysterio t-shirt but weren’t happy about the whole situation and how it was handled in front of the people we were sitting next to.”
- The official WWE NXT website has added a profile for 6-foot-1 Anya from Russia. The developmental Diva was signed earlier this year and it’s now revealed that she has a “decorated” background in kickboxing.
Diva-Dirt reports that Anya, a black belt in Taekwondo, won the Kickboxing World Championship in 2011. She placed second in 2006 and 2008. Anya is also a lawyer with a degree from the Voronezh Cooperative Institute in Voronezh, Russia

 

I have everything crossed than Dean Ambrose will interrupt HHH's speech tonight!

best theme ever.

 

One of the facebook pages I liked asked this, pretty good question.....

Who do you think are the best sellers in pro wrestling?

IMO, Ziggler and Slater are phenomenal.

also Austin Aeries(my favourite non WWE wrestler).

 

Ziggler & Slater yes. I think Punk as well.

Also if you really want to see two wrestlers sell a match Mr Perfect vs Bret Hart at Summerslam! (Worth A Watch)

 

Big Show and Cena.

Seriously though, I'd agree with Ziggler and Slater (Ziggler is the best by far).

Then you have the likes of Bryan and even Triple H can sell a move!

 

two of my favourites ever.

 

Shelton Benjamin sold the best super-kick!

 

I watched it last night hadn't seen it in years they had me at every fall! I would love to see Punk vs Ziggler at mania given freedom to have a match like that!

 

Was it him that HBK super kicked while Shelton was doing a springboard move?

 

Aye.

Also he's not been there in ages, but Bourne could sell amazingly.

Could you elaborate a wee tad buddy?

Is their now more wrestling? Are the matches getting more tense and exciting? Or is still a soap opera full of squashes and obvious results?

Just for comparison, are the matches still as bad as the so called main event at this years wrestlemania? Made my eyes bleed.. lost several million braincells and lost all faith in john cena.

 

Of the 3 hours, about 45-60 mins is taken up by adverts/repeats. Some of the matches are pretty exciting - Punk, Bryan, Jericho (on tour now), Ziggler are probably the best performers at the moment.

As far as squash matches goes, Ryback has been squashing people every week (either on Raw or Smackdown).

Overall, Raw is pretty pish but Lesnar makes it slightly better, even though he rarely appears
