He got real lazy with it and was the reason it was banned for a couple years. Evan Bourne does it perfectly.

i bet mickie may bring back that "crazed lesbian stalker" persona she had when she first appeared in WWE..could have her stalk say,angelina love or velvet sky,or even crazier,dixie carter
wtf paul bearer back on Smackdown
So that explains why he's in Smackdown Vs. Raw 2011, I thought that was mad random.
Jack's really gotten better since I first started seeing him in ROH. I'm a little surprised he hasn't gone back there or been picked up by TNA to fill out the X-Division, at least for a short run.
Thanks, chriss. I was going to post this the other day but never got around to it.
Gonzales was a horrible wrestler but he drew money with Ric Flair and his attack on Undertaker at the Royal Rumble was pretty shocking and memorable.
wait....dude in the bodysuit was still alive?
The bodysuit just took his career, not his life.
damn you are late.............on to something else who in the hell is the gm ?????? I mean Edge havimg a interview with a laptop was fucking lame. Hell Santino would have been a better 5 -6 minute filler instead.
^^^I don't think they have any idea as to who the GM will turn out to be so they're just drawing it out. Anybody that would be big isn't going to sign up for it such as the Rock or Stone Cold. The only person that wouldn't be a letdown as this point would be JR or Heyman and we know that at least 1 of those things would never happen.Personally, I'm rooting for the Ultimate Warrior just for the comedy. Or Kevin Nash.
i was
@ jericho running off that list of names before the match w/ orton..i had switched channel for a second and when i came back he was STILLmentioning ppl he had beaten over the years
as for that whole "secret admirer" thing with ted dibiase im betting this who it is
Nah if it was warrior you would know because the email wouldn't make any sense.

The Rock Says he'd have been whoopin' that candy ass in MMA instead

Fuck it, I'm going with Randy Savage for Raw GM.
So he would've only gone if it were popular at the time
With that attitude he would've gotten his ass whooped and been a joke, he better be glad he became the rock and got into hollywood instead of being a has been fighter working at walmart.
John Cena Heel Turn?
Even with the drop in merchandise sells, a Cena turn is whats best for the company imo.
Randy Orton Not Happy w/ Babyface Storyline
There has only been a few guys who work great as a face and equally as a heel. ( Jericho, HBK, Taker, Rock, Angle,) Others are decent playing both roles but their sucess is more dependent on how over they are and how good their mic skills are. ( Flair, Macho, HHH, Hogan )
Vince McMahon 'Mortified' Over Nexus Sales
You really can't expect for the Nexus faction to be a popular group with fans. Nobody in that group really stands out or has any personality. Everyone in the group is just vanilla in terms of character. I could see the season two guys getting over rather than the current guys. Percy Watson could be a good filler for someone and a mouth piece for the group. Barrett I can see being a world champ down the line but he and the rest of the group are just not cool enough to sell t-shirts. You're either Nexus or against us.

His poor mic skill was the only thing holding him back.

Cena is a natural face but he's hamstrung by the poor writing. "Rocky Balboa" Cena would be more popular than "Superman"Cena.
Orton's natural heel and he's just not that exciting (to me) as "The Viper". That writhing on the mat before he attempts the RKO is just dull and overdone. Plus when he does that, he never hits it.
Have to disagree on with the assessment of Flair. Ric Flair was just as over as a face as a heel. The fact that people kind of liked him is what made him such a good heel in the first place. He practically invented the "cool heel" (with some love to Superstar Graham and Michael Hayes). Flair had them rioting and charging the ring as a face (to save him from Nikita Koloff) and as a heel (to save Jimmy Garvin from him).

When I say Vince McMahon's "genius" is highly overrated, stories like this back me up. How did he think people would like a heel group made up of guys that get beat far more often than they win. Cena just beat the whole group last week, except Wade Barrett. They can't talk, they can't wrestle (Barrett, Gabriel excepted) and they got run off by Mark Henry and Evan Bourne.
Drop Slater, bring in Husky Harris and they can, maybe, save this angle (I would have liked Riley too but that's not going to happen. He's good where he is.)
I just shit on Vinny Mac but it was his call for Michael Cole to plug Mick Foley's new book on Raw last night. That's cool.

He would have been even more successful in the WWF. A good long run as IC champ with a couple good, hard feuds would have given him and fans time to grow into him. He still probably would never have been World champ but he would have gotten some high profile shots (like Valentine, Muraco, HonkyTonk Man, Rude, etc).
is it just me or are they already fucking Lo...........Kaval!!!!!! Wad Barrett wins nxt and goes on a run, Kaval wins, and ain't won shit since!!! Losing to Chavo?? NOBODY loses to Chavo, but Alex Riley(who they wanted to win) is on Raw and getting all this time
I missed this. Damn. For a guy who is supposed to be in line for a title shot (whenever) that's not a good sign (they do remember that, don't they?).

Microsoft Teaming With Spike On Fire Pro Wrestling Game For Xbox 360
BREAKING news out of the Tokyo Game Show, where Microsoft is holding its press conference. Spike, the developer of the Fire Pro Wrestling series, is teaming with Microsoft to produce a new game in the series for the Xbox 360. Details are scarce right now, but the game will let you use your own Avatars! Yes! Halo Workman is gonna break necks!
Look for more news on this game soon!

Fire Pro Wrestling Is All Avatars, No Beefy Men
Fire Pro Wrestling is returning, but this time it's coming to Xbox Live Arcade and it's way cuter. But does that mean the buff Fire Pro-Wrestling of days gone by have been passed over in favor of Xbox 360 Avatars?
"Our plan is that it is just Avatars," Microsoft Game Studios Vice President Phil Spencer tells Kotaku. "I guess there is the possibility for us to do celebrity Avatars if we wanted to."
The Fire Pro Wrestling series began under developer Human Entertainment in the late 1980s. Tokyo-based developer Spike picked up the baton and took the reigns of the series starting in 2000.
Fire Pro Wrestling features a timing-based grappling mechanic. While the beefy fighters appear to have changed for something, well, cuter, the deep gameplay looks like it is going to stay.
"This specifically was an idea Spike had around Avatar wrestling," Spencer continues. "But Fire Pro obviously has a mechanic and a depth, that people appreciate. And that's why we wanted to stay with the brand. So people could understand what our aspiration was. So that we could stay true to that franchise."
Spencer was quick to point out that Fire Pro Wrestling was a temporary title. "We don't know the final name, just to be completely honest."

WRESTLING NEWS
UNDERTAKER
WrestleZone has exclusively learned that there are several pitches for the Undertaker at Wrestlemania next year, including matches against Sheamus or even Kane.
WWE writers have been charged with coming up with as many scenarios for Undertaker as possible for the Wrestlemania show in Atlanta, and so far the two Vince McMahon has reportedly liked the most have been matches against Sheamus or current Smackdown World Champion Kane.
The decision to bring back Paul Bearer has a lot of people talking backstage, as The Undertaker has always said that when he does his "last run" as a full time wrestler, he wants to have that closure with the Paul Bearer character involved.
However, we've asked several insiders, and no one has heard any pitch for Wrestlemania to be Undertaker's farewell. The feud with Kane, however, is scheduled to continue.
If both Vince McMahon and Undertaker decide the Wrestlemania match will be with Kane, it is likely the two will be put in separate feuds to sidetrack their series, and then brought back together during Royal Rumble season to springboard the storyline into Wrestlemania.
DASHING CODY
PWTorch.com is reporting that the reason why Cody Rhodes hasn't received a major WWE push is because Vince McMahon is not confident in the superstars' abilities. "Cody Rhodes is capable of a breakout, but Vince McMahon just can't commit to him," said a WWE source. "He thinks he overacts."
Return of BOBBY LASHLEY?
WrestleZone has learned that while there has been no official contact between the parties, WWE is expected to discuss a possible return with Strikeforce fighter Bobby Lashley.
Lashley, who just returned to pro wrestling over the weekend in Japan, was the victim of dehydration and lost in his recent Strikeforce outing, putting a huge dent in Strikeforce's plans to match Lashley against fellow former WWE headliner Dave "Batista" Bautista.
Now Lashley finds himself without any leverage in Strikeforce, and as far away from a headline fight against either Fedor Emelianenko or Strikeforce Champion Alistair Overeem as he has ever been.
Lashley, who many dubbed the next Brock Lesnar in MMA, has seen his mixed martial arts career fizzle out since his crushing defeat, and is said to be entertaining the idea of going back to WWE or TNA, with WWE being his first choice due to the higher profile and bigger money paid by the organization.

Not saying that he is as good a fighter, but anyone else find it interesting how when Lesnar lost to Mir there wasn't this, "Oh my God, his MMA career is a fluke. It's over for him!" talk like there is with Lashley? Again, I'm not saying his is as good as Lesnar necessarily.
I see it. The fact that he came in with such fanfare hurts him and his development as a fighter.
Bobby Lashley is like any other young, strong guy that wants to fight except he already has a ton of money and can pick the best trainers available.
Not believing any talk of Taker-Kane at Mania. It's been done twice and they seem to be throwing everything at this one now, including bringing back Paul Bearer. With the possibility of this being the last Mania for Taker, I have a hard time seeing Vince doing a rehash of a overdone angle/feud. I like the idea of Sheamus and the Undertaker with Sheamus going over and Taker beating him in the rematch.
sheamus has no business beating the undertaker at Wrestlemania!!! no one does, his undefeated streak deserves to stay intact. all the work hes put in, leave that one alone, and sheamus of all people??
Yep, Sheamus. I think he leapfrogged guys that had put in a lot of work and deserved to be elevated (MVP for one) but since he's been on or near the top, he's been good, in the ring and on the mic.
I've said it before but "The Streak" should be broken. Taker's been great but wrestlers are in the business of putting people over. It's not like there's someone else who's going to break the record (Edge had a shot but but he lost to Taker). A win over Undertaker at Mania would put a heel (it could be a face) on a new level and an instant main eventer for years.
While his legendary status is unquestioned, he's worked no harder than quite a few A list guys, many of whom put him over at Mania to help build him up and he should do that for someone else.
Why would they schedule NXT to not pick a winner before the show ended on Syfy? There is no NXT on Syfy next week and we still don't have a winner and they didn't even have a match this week. WTF?
there could be a chance all the divas will have a contract much like what managament did with the Nexus.
the streak is a sacred thing to me. it is the only sacred thing wwe has right now. U can't mess with that. What u can do is have him on a losing streak.. Matter of fact thats when they should have brought back Bearer. Undertaker getting the shit kicked out of him without his powers. Even people u wouldnt think of beating him take him down. Leading up to Wrestlemania, whoever is kicking the shit out of him worst gets the match. Have UT cut a promo saying while his powers have dwindled wrestlemania will 4ever be his yard, and he doesn't lose there. Then at WM he has an epic match, something drastic happens like a ladder fall through a table or some shit. It finally looks like its over, then the bell tolls, not being able to take what he has become, Shawn Michaels wheels the casket out(just figured it should be HHH in the match, with his standing in the company everyone thinks this will end the streak, plus with michaels coming out looks like him and his boy will bury the Undertaker) when the casket opens its PB urn in hand Lightning striking all that high level bs they are known for. power restored, taker beats HHH in his final match, bang boom over.
the new NXT shit is stupid. a few broads who actually seem to be able to wrestle and the have a wheel the midget around challenge. these chicks are better suited 4 TNA
