Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards heading to the WWE?
According to this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reports that both of their contracts expire on August 1st. He also reports that there has been mild interest from the WWE in both guys but that Sean Waltman is really trying to have them bring in both guys. With WWE looking to add more guys to developmental as their new training center opens up this month, this could very well happen.

MVP Heading to TNA?
Also in this week's observer, it has been reported that Bruce Pritchard is making a strong play to bring MVP into TNA. Meltzer states that MVP would prefer to go back to the WWE but TNA is showing a lot more interest.

A MCMAHON IN EVERY CORNER.
ReplyDeleteKeep the Wolves together and make Arn Anderson their manger.
ReplyDeleteCena vs. Undertaker should headline Mania 30.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a major problem with the McMahon feud leading to a bit match at Wrestlemania 30 if it's Triple H vs. someone representing Vince with the winner getting control of WWE...as long as it leads to Vince retiring for real (or at least never appearing as an authority figure on TV again.) It would only be appropriate to blow off Vince at Wrestlemania 30...and I'd rather Vince's character be blown off in a proper match with a long build than, say, blown up in a limo for no reason.
Oh no.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea. I was trying to think of someone big enough (popularity-wise) to go against Triple H who would also make sense. The only 2 I could think of popularity wise would be Punk and Mark Henry (if he went on a hall of pain rampage for the next 8 months). However Punk would not work for Vince and Henry is his own man.
ReplyDeleteAny chance its a guy like Rock, HBK or Austin vs a heel turned HHH?
ReplyDeleteA tag team AND a manager? Next you'll want them to have actual characters, and feud with another team.
ReplyDeleteI'm so tired of the McMahons. I said that ten years ago and I can't believe I still have to say it. This company really can't come up with ANYTHING new?? Really?? Pathetic.
ReplyDeleteit's posts like this that make me hate internet wrestling whiners.
ReplyDeletein general, people like seeing the mcmahons. the ratings usually are higher when vince is on. besides, the mcmahons ARE wwe. deal with it.
If he goes to WWE, Davey Richards is going to have to learn how to actually sell and not do eighty zillion high impact moves in a match.
ReplyDeleteHey, it worked the first time...13 years ago!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see MVP come back to WWE, but I can't imagine too much has changed since he left. He'd still be languishing in the midcard with nothing to do.
ReplyDeleteI hope your post was just a joke. Im not whining, simply stating opinions. I've been a fan for 30 years and Ive seen things that work and don't work. The McMahons are not popping ratings anymore and not selling matches. Hell, they can't even put over the talent on TV.
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!!!!! Vince with Davey Richards in his corner vs. Stephanie with Eddie Edwards in her corner!!!!!!!! So stoked. Money rainbow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMVP seems like a guy who could probably have lifetime employment with the WWE if only because no matter what else happens they can point to him and say "Look! The Wellness Program DOES work! It saved his life!"
ReplyDeletei didn't mean to attack you personally, i just knew as soon as it was mentioned in the post "here comes the predictable bitchfest".
ReplyDeletewasn't the mcmahon/punk episode last year significantly higher than the entire month's worth of episodes that preceded it?
Why wouldn't they? Hell, as long as we get something like Cena-Taker and Bryan-Punk, I don't care if its a McMahon orgy.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fine idea. Would Vince's ego allow him to write himself out of WWE forever?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to bet $100 now that John Cena passes the torch to Aurora Rose at Wrestlemania 45.
ReplyDeleteMVP made himself with this promo, playing up on his past. There's no reason they shouldn't have given him the ball and run with it. http://youtu.be/HPj5msv0SXo
ReplyDeleteI'm going to bet that if Aurora Rose grows up to look like a more stunning version of Steph that Granddaddy Vince will be even more lecherous and creepy around her than he was with Steph!
ReplyDeleteSo we're getting Stephanie on TV until Mania? I'm out.
ReplyDeleteno you're not.
ReplyDeleteSee you on Monday!
ReplyDeleteIf Stephanie gets rid of Vickie I'd be forever grateful.
ReplyDeleteDavey did say in a Mexican TV interview (starts around 30:42 if it doesn't show up right here) that, "I wouldn't be surprised if you turn on your TV in the very near future and saw us on a company's television show."
ReplyDeleteBy the way, that show they were on, Tercera CaÃda, is a fun primer for anybody looking to keep up with the Lucha scene; they give a lot of airtime to the indy groups on top of the usual AAA/CMLL stuff.
Davey Richards? Gtfo. He'd never fit in with his whole, "ROAR! WRESTLING IS SERIOUS AND I'M A SERIOUS WRESTLER. STRONG STYLE MOVEZ VANILLA MIDGET DKJHFSDLKHFSDKLFJ"
ReplyDeleteI find him awful.
I'am far from his biggest fan but I think him and Edwards can be a pretty good mid card tag team. Plus I think he'd benefit from being reprogrammed at NXT.
ReplyDeleteBeat me to it :(
ReplyDeleteI don't mind Vince being on TV every now and again because he can actually take a beating and put someone over(see CM Punk) With Stephanie no one can beat her up and with the PG in effect it's not like someone can pull a Jericho and make her a punching bag.
ReplyDeleteNow there's an angle they could run. Have the main event of Wrestlemania feature a McMahon in every corner, except a week before the event Hunter says wait a minute, I'm not technically a McMahon. And so next week on Raw we have HHH and Steph renew their vows, except this time HHH is taking Steph's surname. Before HHH can say I do however, the entire roster shows up the ramp laughing and pointing at him. "You little bitch!" Santino yells. "THIS is the man that's gonna inherit the company? Ha!" cackles Tyson Kidd. HHH can't take it anymore, and so he sets up Steph for the Pedigree but instead of dropping her, turns to her ass toward the guys on the ramp and invites them over to run a train on her in the middle of the ring. Backstage, Vince is unperturbed, "keep the cameras rolling boys!"
ReplyDeleteI think it was July 1999, Undertaker and Austin fought with Vince's "career" on the line. I remember thinking then it was a good time to end the McMahon character - the character and the evil GM stuff was played out.
ReplyDelete14 years later.....
Yeah, I remember in the 80's how huge Hulk Hogan became feuding with Vince McMahon.
ReplyDeleteExactly. Better Steph than Vickie. Only reason that woman is employed is because she has dirt on Vince that could cause him massive problems, guaranteed.
ReplyDeleteDisturbing and shameful in far too many ways.
ReplyDelete"The Aristocrats!"
ReplyDeleteVINTAGE GAMER!
ReplyDeleteHi, Bonnie Hammer
ReplyDeleteI said this in another thread, but I really think Lesnar's going to end up working for Vince as his proxy. It would be sort of predictable, but not as predictable as where the Heyman/Brock/Punk story is going.
ReplyDeleteI don't know. For as silly as his heel turn against Rock was at WrestleMania 2000, he played his part well in the ensuing feud. I would say that after he left TV for a bit in the summer of 2000 he probably should have been done as a heel.
ReplyDeleteStephanie hasn't been a benefit to a storyline since 2001. She is full of herself, completely self-unaware, has just as grating of a voice as Vicki (but still likes to think she's a face), and is starting to get scary looking with the growing body of hers.
ReplyDeleteVicki was one of the most over heels from 2008-2012.
Sorry, I'm taking Vicki unless we have a time machine to go back to 2000.
As if Vince would ever turn a shot at Steph's ass down. He'd be right up there with them.
ReplyDeleteMeh, it would be like trading cancer for ebola.
ReplyDeleteEddie and Davey both could benefit from developmental. They have decent looks and both have tons of ability but could use a little focus so they aren't so spotty, and both but Davey in particular have a handle on what they need to do to carry a promo but they need some focus and direction. I'd like to see that happen, actually.
ReplyDeleteThat will be the first Wrestlemania on the moon.
ReplyDelete"You can just stand there and....suck."
ReplyDeleteActually I took note of him when he called himself "half man, half amazing" (Yes, he took that from Nas.)

Yeah, Vicki intentionally portrays a screeching harpy because it draws remarkable heel heat. Stephanie just does it naturally.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqfxmWbelcQ
ReplyDeleteThe ASCII middle finger is never not fucnny.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I really like the idea of that, in that Lesnar never *was* acting on Heyman's orders when he beat up Punk...he was acting on McMahon's, who still wanted revenge from last year. And that for once Heyman was in the right, only because there was a bigger bastard in the picture.
ReplyDeleteWell in my dreams she gets rid of her and then leaves as well.
ReplyDeleteSo this WM idea kinda sucks. Any shot of HHH playing the heel in this spot and Vince bringing in a guy like HBK or Austin? I'd still hate it tho.
ReplyDeleteI like it too, and Brock even has a good reason: "Vince is paying me a LOT of money."
ReplyDeleteOnly if we get another Brock vs Vince steel cage match out of the deal.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9Cmgbe5230
ReplyDeleteStephanie hasn't been a benefit to a storyline since 1999.
ReplyDeleteFixed.
HHH should wrestle himself in the main event.
ReplyDeleteDavey needs to just slow down. His matches are too fast and tedius.
ReplyDeleteHis look is great as he is a Dynamite Kid replica just about
Cena/Taker and Punk/Austin alone sells the card and breaks every record their is
ReplyDeleteGuys who could 'represent Vince' in this scenario: Ziggler, Del Rio, Axel, whomever wins the heel MITB match, even maybe one of the Shield guys or the Shield en masse. There's still a chance this could end well if they spend the next 10 months pushing a heel strong than put him over Triple H....HA HA HA HA THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
ReplyDeleteThere are worse rappers to steal from.
ReplyDeleteEr...there's kind of another reason - that Vickie gets some of the biggest crowd reactions in wrestling today.
ReplyDeleteWorking through this scenario, I don't think we can have Brock vs. Trips XVII at WM. I think his movie schedule makes it impossible, but how amusing would it be if Trips had to find a proxy too... and that proxy was the Rock. I think it would be hilarious if Trips had to spend 2 months putting out how fantabulous the Rock is.
ReplyDeletethen fuck "the people".
ReplyDeletewe, the people.
