So Derren Young is in the running for the IC title but not Titus O'Neil? I'll tell you why that is.... Titus is getting the SUPER PUSH!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree with John. She's so much hotter these days. I mean, don't get me wrong, she's always been an absolute 10, but now she's a 10 who's holding a steak.
ReplyDeleteAgreed on Trish completely. The best North American women's wrestler of the modern era and a total package of looks, charisma and skill.
ReplyDelete3 faces and 5 heels in a tourney to fight a heel champion? What gives?
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling Darren Young was only placed in the tournament to get replaced by Bo Dallas. It seems like Darren got injured during the Royal Rumble. Noticed that Titus O'Neill, not Darren Young, took the brunt of the damage by Ryback during the Make Me Laugh segment last night.
ReplyDeleteI definitely put her on the same level as Sherri and Madusa. Trish came up in a time where women's wrestling was a complete joke, good for only bra-and-panty matches and bikini contests. Trish led it back to being about actual wrestling (with help from Victoria, Molly, Jazz, and Mickie).
ReplyDeleteOf course now we're in the era of women who have zero business in the ring. If ever there was a perfect group for T&A matches, it's this one.
Antonio Cesaro as a possible double champion? I can dig it!
ReplyDeleteWhy do I find it funny that Vince suffered a broken pelvis?
ReplyDeleteBrilliant heel work from Punk last night. Loved the 'fit my schedule' stuff. And, yeah, the Rumble match was disappointing, but I'm more than happy to give it another shot.
ReplyDeleteAmazing that Mark Henry went from Hardcore Holly level of threat to the title to being legit 6 years later. Just insane.
ReplyDeleteWhy I will always love the Rock more than just about anybody in wrestling: http://ryehww.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pSj7qAKmQf7zvwiWGWLY31U8Mg-7KVTOMETrZ4RYvdNVsc-opjNDuunZGigRVCKxM3SgWJw4P_TY/RockSell.gif?psid=1
ReplyDeleteI have a theory.
ReplyDeleteDarn it, I won comment of the day. While some have fought and politicked their way to main event status and glory, I've always prided myself on being the Tyson Kidd or Primo of the blog--good but unnoticed. Dr. Selby is threatening my position here. (Obviously, this paragraph is not meant to be taken seriously).
ReplyDeleteAs far as my last line goes (alluded to in the original post), skip to Caliber's comment in this comment section as it mirrors my own thoughts.
I noticed that live, too. Maybe people found it comical. However, I felt like he sold it like a real knockout blow instead of snapping his back/shoulders to the canvas right away OR trying to fall forward/to his side to break the fall.
ReplyDeleteStop being a troll.
ReplyDeleteThe '06 Rumble is one of the worst. Rey and HHH spent most of their time in the corner taking a nap.
ReplyDeleteYou asked!
ReplyDeleteAgreed. As someone who's not much into blondes or implants, Yoga Trish is definitely hotter.
ReplyDelete"I'm a punkass bitch because swearing is COOL!" was the best line of the night
ReplyDeleteIt was a beautiful sell on any level. You could take it as a comical pratfall, which is great, but being a huge MMA fan, it looked much more like how a high kick knockout might look. I've seen dozens of "delayed reaction" KOs, moreso than the usual pro wrestling high kick sell.
ReplyDeleteRock's was wonderfully overdramatic, but also more accurate. Tremendous stuff from my favorite seller of impact moves ever.
I'm going on a limb and saying Randy Orton is not winning the Cup.
ReplyDeletePunk as the rebel with a cause is always great. He can always find ways to be angry, but when he's got a reason he's better than anyone else in the world. Way outclassed Rock last night, I thought.
ReplyDeleteSurprised Orton is in the IC tourney. Why use such an established name? Why not Sin Cara or Ryder or McIntyre? Not that I am a big fan of any of those guys, but at least give somebody else a chance to have a decent match that matters on tv. Why not Big E? He has to have a match at some point.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one slightly annoyed that Vince had the power to even fire Heyman? I always thought he was brought in, or hired if you will, by Brock as his personal counselor/spokesman and Punk retained him in the same capacity. It's not in Vince's power, even as the chairman, to fire a wrestlers attorney, accountant, agent or manager. That power solely lies on the wrestler (see mr.wonderful v. Heenan) or the manager has the same writes to terminate a contract. Vince should only have the power to revoke ringside access but the agent can consult with his or her client anywhere in the locker room area.
ReplyDeleteI know. Someone brought this up last night, but It's amazing how after four weeks, Punk and Rock have made their rivalry feel like they've been bitter rivals for years. Actual, genuine vitriol between them. After a month! It took Cena a year and he never had anything real to show.
ReplyDeleteDeath by Snoo Snoo?
ReplyDeleteAnd lets not forget Ivory. Who I feel often gets overlooked in these discussions.
ReplyDeleteThey might...I mean might....be trying to bring legitimacy to the belts?
ReplyDelete"I never thought I'd die this way...but I'd always really hoped."
ReplyDeleteWith maybe the exception of Rosa, I don't have much desire to see them in T&A matches either.
ReplyDeletesecond.
ReplyDeleteThey need to give Wade a signature PPV win. He's never been allowed to beat one of the top guys. Orton would qualify (yes, I know Wade pinned him clean on Raw a few weeks ago ... I'm talking PPV).
ReplyDeleteAJ for me. AJ is the only current Diva I have any time for.
ReplyDeletethe Bork meme made me chortle.
ReplyDeleteoh...Ivory was bad.
ReplyDeletewhen her shirt got pulled up on raw a couple weeks ago...homina homina
ReplyDeleteditto. that body...hell, Layla's body. damn.
ReplyDeleteexcept the stunner. c'mon, it's ridiculous!!
ReplyDeleteterribly boring, IMO
ReplyDeleteAh yes her also. I tend to not think of her as one of the Divas
ReplyDeletewhich is, I think, quite the compliment.
ReplyDeleteNot as big of a compliment as "I would allow her to fuck me"
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wwe.com/videos/lita-vs-ivory-smackdown-september-13-2001-26050822 I refer you to the video tape. I'm not saying she's Ricky Steamboat here, but compared to today's "talent" she was amazing, and she's holding her own very well with Lita here.
ReplyDeleteI've said this before but...I thought about it. In most instances with contracted employees, (the wrestlers) The General contractor (WWE) actually DOES have the ability to terminate any lower tier subcontracted employees (Heyman). This can be for any number of reasons but usually it would be stipulated in in the contracted employee's (CM Punk) contract. Usually if there's evidence of law breaking etc.
ReplyDeleteAin't nobody got time for that.
ReplyDeleteI like the way that Snrub thinks.
ReplyDeleteApparently ratings jumped now that punk isn't the champ. Who could've predicted that?
ReplyDeleteA solid 9.
ReplyDelete8.2, lack of originality. Should have went for the "Chris Jericho returned" bait.
ReplyDeleteZzzzzzzzzz....
ReplyDeleteIf Antonio Cesaro is in the International Cup, does that officially place the US Title lower on the title totem pole than the IC TItle?
ReplyDeleteI actually like Orton being in the IC title cup. An established guy who they aren't doing anything with anyways, so why not put a big name into the IC title cup. Puts some more prestige into the title.
ReplyDeleteTechnically, they have been going at it for years...from Rock's "BM Punk" opening salvo, to "Dwayne's a pretty good ass-kisser", this feud has been building for a couple of years now!
ReplyDeleteQuite the opposite for me. Anytime AJ is on the screen I cringe.
ReplyDeleteYou should see Dolph Ziggler sell the stunner. He takes it then hits a backflip.
ReplyDeleteNO! MOAR KHALIOKE!
ReplyDeletethats because she's an ugly whore
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry people don't want to watch your boyfriend.
ReplyDeleteEveryone wants to watch Chris Jericho, just look at the reaction he got at the Rumble!
ReplyDeleteLulz
ReplyDeleteIt already was. The Intercontinental Title represents North America and South America, the US Title only represents the United States.
ReplyDeleteuh huh.
ReplyDeleteLook at all of the military bases:
ReplyDeletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_military_bases
America has extended ts giant squid-like tentacles all over the world!
Sure she was.
ReplyDelete"STUNNER!! It'll all be over, just as soon as Ziggler lands!"
