THE WRESTLING THREAD: HELL HAS FROZE OVER JOHN CENA HAS GONE FULL HEEL

Indeed.
I'm surprised they put Rios over Rey in his debut. Now the pressure's on him big, he's got to get over. I have confidence in Michael Hayes to make this work so it's on Rios.
dude didn't really show any real skill other than doing a move and standing and posing. his arsenal seems limited. they make him look like a generic jobber with that gold outfit. put him in something the color of his country otherwise he can keep tha bland look and be on his way to failure
Just read that Team 3D's contracts run out next week. Hardcore Justice might just be their swansong if something isn't worked out.
This could open the door for 3D at least making appearances against other top teams like Kings of Wrestling, the Briscoes, and Benjamin and Haas.

I haven't seen Smackdown in about a year. My cable provider dosen't carry My Network Tv, im glad Smackdown will be moving to Sci-Fi in October.
Does anyone else think that Christian should have gotten a World title push? He's a good in ring worker and can go either face or heel. What have they been doing with him since being drafted to Smackdown?

Unfortunately vince is very petty so i'm pretty sure he's still upset that christian left for tna. I remember hearing before he left that vince and creative were upset that he got himself over with fans without their help, the whole captain charisma was meant to be a joke but the fans took to it.
I don't think that he should have gotten his recent title run but fortunately for him Punk,Taker and others were hurt and they needed him to hold off on getting his own surgery. Besides Rey is over so the loss shouldn't hurt too much. It was more about getting Del Rio over as a credible guy.
I doubt that the Dudleys are leaving. They have the training school down there and TNA has appeared to have no issue using the people they work with(i.e. Rob Terry,Jesse Neal Rosey Lottalove,Raven's sidekick).Plus from what I hear Bubba is moving towards working behind the scenes.
That is Vince's problem and illustrates what Heyman said about him being an absolute control freak. Instead of taking advantage and winding up with another credible main eventer and person who can bring in money Vince wasted him which led him to go to TNA. And he still fails to take advantage of Christian's talents.
I cant believe its the same organization now.
RIP Sherri
I would like to know how much money Cena brings in through merchandise on a monthly to yearly bases compared to Austin. Austin had a much larger fan base consiting of children & Adults while Cena's fans are women & kids. For a face booos to overwhelme the cheers every night, his sales have to be huge. But I can understand keeping him as a face, Meysterio probably is the second highest money maker in merchandise and the DX gravy train is finish. They have very few legit money makers in the company right now.
On my local FOX station, they switch to MyNetworkTV at midnight or 2 A.M. to show Smackdown.
The best time to use Christian as a main eventer is when they have the title belt on Rey or another smaller/more normal sized guy like CM Punk. Hopefully, they'll take the belt off Kane and put on someone else and use it to build up at least one guy. Kane/Taker does not need to title.
Since this is the last go-round for these two, it would be nice for them to bring back Paul Bearer. Percy Pringle isn't attached to any company right now to my knowledge and I'm sure he'd resurrect that character one more time.
Now let's see where he goes next. Carlito beat John Cena in his debut and never lived up to the hype.
I would hope not. They're really the last of the great tag teams in the tradition of the Road Warriors and the Midnight Express and TNA needs a guy like Bubba helping behind the scenes (he booked the tag teams all of last year and they were great and he got over a new team in the British Invasion).
Pay them and cut Kevin Nash. I like Big Kev but he doesn't bring anything to the table at this point, at least not compared to the Dudleys or the now cut Scott Steiner.
That sentence alone is why Cena won't be a heel in the foreseeable future. The only other big merch sellers are veterans on their last legs (DX, Taker, Rey). If they can really get Randy Orton over to that level, that would open the door for a Cena turn. But Orton has really been lackluster for almost two years now. His promos are dull and getting worse and his matches, which used to be very good, are terrible.
I record all my shows on my dvr so I watch it when I want to. I've seen Smackdown uploads way back when Batista was still on their roster but I don't care to look it up. I ffw through most of Raw & TNA so theres really no point to watch Smackdown uploads.
guess the straight edge society on smackdown will be short one member..
Damn, Serena had some nice titties, too.
Tamina was looking quite sexcellent tonight.

Out of all the divas they could get rid of the decision to get rid of Serena seems dumb to me. There have been some who have proven themselves to be useless. She at least had a role that she fit into damn well.
Hell yeah, at least she was in a storyline. They got the Bella twins just being escorts to everybody. They let go off Mickie James, one of the only divas that can actually wrestle, because she kept missing buses and shit. They really don't give a shit about the women's division.
I wonder what they're about to do to the tag team division, they just changed the unified titles into just the WWE Tag Team Championship. They need to divide them and also bring back the Cruiserweight division and get a TV title or something for the mid-carders.
What did she do so bad that she was released before Tiffany, who was arrested on a domestic?
Oh well, TNA just gave a couple women tryouts this week including Katie Lee Burchill so maybe they're for real in reviving the Knockout division. They've burned out the Beautiful People by overexposing them for the last 7 months at the expense of the other Knockouts.
On Raw
I like Sheamus invoking the 30 day rule and Tamina's so fucking hot. Make the Diva division her, Alicia, Melina, and Natalya on top with Maryse, Jillian, and Eve working underneath (release the Bellas) and that division would be great.
WWE has released Smackdown diva Serena. Serena had just made her in ring debut on last week's Smackdown. More details as they come.
Rumors I'm hearing say that she got drunk at a bar and made a huge spectacle of herself.

when Barret went to get his title shot, who didn't see everybody else geing in the match as well. So basically they waste his opportunity (we all know with these cats in the match he ain't gonna win) and make him winning NXT nothing. Miz will probably cash in that night (Probably on Cena) and fucking lose that too. this shit is getting predictable
The way they're pushing it, I'm starting to really think Miz will be the first guy to fail when he cashes in his MitB shot, if not at this next ppv at Hell in the Cell. It'll have something to do with Daniel Bryan.
so with Wade Barret getting fucked up last night I guess Nexus is over. They had a chance to start something if they let Wade vs Shaemus 4 the title be it. Hell they even book Shemus as a coward. Zach fucking Ryder, who didn't see him taking the easy way out. He hauls ass from Nexus looking 4 Cena. How can u take him serious when u book him to win in the worst fucking ways. And a DQ ina title match at one of you main PPV of the year(2 counting Kofi vs Ziggler, who is about 2 lose this feud). Shit They fucking Rikishi kids over for Kozlov and Santino?? WTF!!!
The Miz is not ready for a title run. If he won the title he would lose it that same night I still remember when Miz was fucking up his lines during then diva search and HBK called someone Miz for screwing up their lines that same night. Don't get me wrong, Miz has come along way from being the guy from the Real World to a decent heel character.
WWE News: WWE releases Serena of the Straight Edge Society group
Aug 24, 2010 - 12:33:43 AM
By James Caldwell, Torch assistant editor
PWTorch has confirmed the release of Smackdown Diva Serena (Serena Deeb). WWE has not made an official announcement on Serena's release at this point.
Sources in WWE are saying the reason for Serena's release was because she was not "living out" the Straight Edge Society gimmick in public.
Serena, who was inserted into C.M. Punk's SES group in January, had her last WWE TV match last Friday on Smackdown.
The storyline for the match was that she would have been kicked out of the SES, along with Luke Gallows, if they lost a tag match to Kelly Kelly and Big Show. Serena and Gallows won the match to remain in the group on TV.
Caldwell's Analysis: We haven't confirmed the following, but I wouldn't be surprised if the storyline in July where Serena was "caught on security camera" having a drink at a bar, followed by C.M. Punk questioning her "loyalty to the SES cause," was a message to Serena, with art imitating life.
What's next for SES? It might be time to disband the group, with Luke Gallows and Joseph Mercury not adding to the group at this point, especially when they were fed to Big Show at Summerslam. The other option is recruitment or bringing in Darren Young, who was kicked out of Nexus on last week's Raw, and has history with Punk from NXT Season One.
What's next for the thinning women's division on Smackdown? It might be in WWE's best interest to combine their Raw and Smackdown divisions and have one title, but they did take a look at developmental women's wrestler A.J. Lee on the weekend house shows as a potential call-up. Serena wasn't being utilized in the women's division anyways.
