I can't believe people aren't taking HHH's claims of a unified title at TLC seriously. He said it In a WWE.com interview with Michael Cole! That's like a blood oath!

Comments

  1. Why would only having one World Championship prevent the Rumble winner from wrestling for said World Championship at WrestleMania?

    ReplyDelete
  2. Emailer probably skipped a step and is thinking TLC will be a BCF (big clusterfuck) and they'll put off an actual unification til Mania

    ReplyDelete
  3. Because the person who sent it to Scott probably forgot that there use to be one title to fight for and only remembers the choice between 2 or 3.

    ReplyDelete
  4. What does the Rumble winner get? Why a Wrestlemaina match against the Undertaker of course.

    ReplyDelete
  5. I moved this from the Bayless thread here bc it's more relevant...
    I don't buy the fact the titles will be unified, but even if they are....so what? They've been treated like shit for years and all of a sudden it's a big deal if someone has 2 pieces of shit instead of 1?

    A title belt is a PROP in a SIMULATED sport to show who the top guys are. When that title is devalued and you treat your tippy top guys as being above the title, nobody gives a shit about it and it's not a draw. The title has to be above everything else to give it any meaning. See how that works, WWE??? See???

    I could care less about a possible unification, and it's actually annoying me they expect me to care about it. Man I miss the days of Austin vs Rock fighting over the belt just to see who was the best.

  7. As much as I would hate to see yet another screwjob ending at TLC, it would be freakin sweet to have the Royal Rumble be for the Undisputed Unified WWE World Championship. I can't believe it has only been done once and that Rumble is still considered the greatest by almost everybody.

    ReplyDelete
  8. You know as much as I agree with you on how devalued the titles are, I am actually stoked that they are finally getting unified. The 2 world titles have been unnecessary for a long time. I'm trying to be optimistic and think that this is actually a step in the right direction.

    ReplyDelete
  9. The trouble with the unification match is I don't care who wins it, and this should be a huge deal. No matter if Cena wins, Orton wins, or it's a no contest... I just have zero vested emotional interest in it.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Yea, I'm with you that the day of having two titles has past us. I think that having 1 will help bring a little value back to it. I'm just not excited for the actual unification due to what I said above.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Not only does no one care about the unification match, but they don't even have anyone setup to win the Rumble. Currently, there is no one on the active roster with any, dare I say, momentum going into the new year.

    ReplyDelete
  12. That HHH guy seems above everyone else and enjoys himself every week. He in the rumble?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Would love that. And instead of the comedy spots for the legends, get a few that haven't done much lately desperate for their last shot at the gold. Use Goldberg here, let Ryback fluke him out, give ryback one last mini-run then squash the living shit out of him with Goldberg at mania. Maybe Sid if he hasn't latched on to a winter softball league.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I'm not sure; however, I have been hearing about this kid down at the performance center named Aurora Rose. Got a good head on her shoulders and knows how to shake hands the right way. She's my sleeper pick as this years Rumble winner.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I hope whatever Shane's doing in China is super successful. Let him poach the girls off for his business and avoid that nightmare.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Am I the only one that can see HHH adding himself to the unification match at TLC?

    ReplyDelete
  17. No, you are not. I watched that interview on wwe.com and it sounded like a promo for a guy about to get in the ring.

    ReplyDelete
  18. There would be a sense of urgency for the Rumble, otherwise this is shaping up to be a very bad Royal Rumble.

    ReplyDelete
  19. He's probably right.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I understand that, as I'm bored of Cena/Orton. But unifying the belts is a step in the right direction as it takes a major belt out of the watered down circulation.

    ReplyDelete
  21. But you know WWE would screw that up by having the Undertaker win the Rumble.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Obviously...


    Hogan wins the rumble and faces the winner of Cena/Orton at Mania for the undisputed belt.


    I'm halfway joking...

    ReplyDelete
  23. I took a small beating last week, but how does a Det/Dallas tease lose today?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Cena is gonna pull down the WWE Title and Orton the WHT, this switching championships. That's my prediction.

    ReplyDelete
  25. The only redeeming value in the match would be if they let loose with the TLC stipulation, get some chairs flying and really make it an intense brawl.

    ReplyDelete
  26. We're only a couple years away from the Rumble winner getting a trophy and an Arby's gift card.

    ReplyDelete
  27. The unification is going to happen at TLC, except that they'll add Del Rio and Big Show to the match, and Del Rio is the winner.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Plenty of people with momentum.

    ReplyDelete
  29. So just like how it was the first 4-5 times.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oh no, it's all starting to come full circle.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I'll keep that in mind.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Granted I'm excluding the usual suspects, but I'm listening.

    ReplyDelete
  33. The Rumble doesn't mean anything anymore. Neither do most of the Wrestlemania matches, really. They just have their handful of acceptable main eventers and they rearrange who meets who each year. Once they decide on who's facing who they give one of them the Rumble win and use Elimination Chamber to set up the other.


    Elimination Chamber is the worst since there's been twice that I recall where they did something screwy just to get the belt on a certain guy to set up the Wrestlemania match they likely finalized that weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  34. That's what I don't like about the Rumble now. It may have been slightly predictable in the past, but you had someone whose story was taking them to Wrestlemania and the Rumble was part of the journey. Now they'll just pick someone who hasn't won it yet. I know it's been beaten to death, but it's like how Jericho had a storyline that winning the Rumble fit, but they gave it to Sheamus just because.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Oh come on, Road-Dogg and Jim Duggan will probably be there, what else do you want?

    ReplyDelete
  36. My one and only concern for the Rumble is if Jake Roberts is in.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I hate when they do that, especially when - like you said - many of the "pre-ordained" (for lack of a better term) matches don't need the title.


    Edge/Jericho from "WM26", for example, didn't need Edge to win the Rumble or for Jericho to win the title in the Chamber; it was a good old-fashioned "one tag partner turns on the other" angle, and Edge coming back from injury to show that he still has it would have been enough.


    I like to refer to those scenarios as "rearranging furniture".

    ReplyDelete
  38. I really hope that this unification match at "TLC" is just a red herring, and that the ACTUAL unification doesn't take place until "WM".


    As much as a screwy ending at "TLC" would suck, if it builds to a much bigger, much more important match at "WM" (especially if something like my dream scenario of Punk winning the Rumble and Bryan winning in the Chamber, setting up a 4-way unification match at "WM" were to actually happen), I think a lot of fans would be willing to forgive it.


    I don't have a lot of faith in that actually happening, but I'm willing to deal with a bullshit ending at a crappy C-level PPV if it builds to something bigger and better.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Personally, I think that'd be fantastic. It's been talked about by fans for a few years, and would lead to a fantastic two-month build with real heat and story (as opposed to, say, Punk winning a random 4-way match on "Raw").

    ReplyDelete
  40. Thanksgiving TJ...I love Thanksgiving, mostly for the Wednesday night of going out with friends/family and the food, but man is actual Thanksgiving Day fucking boring. I've been at my gfs families house for less then an hour and am already fucking bored. If i didn't bet these football games I'd shoot myself

    ReplyDelete
  41. That's why I think Brock has a very good chance of being a surprise entrant and winning. Then Paul Heyman cuts a promo the next night challenging Taker instead of the WWE champ.

    ReplyDelete
  42. "Once they decide on who's facing who they give one of them the Rumble win and use Elimination Chamber to set up the other."



    It's almost as if the show is scripted or something.... :P

    ReplyDelete
  43. Wait a minute? Too many men on the field is a reviewable play but bogus personal foul calls about shots to the head aren't? When did counting become harder to do in real time than seeing precisely where 2 people moving very quickly made contact?

    ReplyDelete
  44. It could do a lot to make them actually meaningful again.

    ReplyDelete
  45. helluva underrated match

    ReplyDelete
  46. He'd get a date with Mickie James?

    ReplyDelete
  47. You know what would be nice, have four different guys building momentum and all having stories that could take them to WM. and they don't have to be the same story, just give each guy a purpose to win the Rumble. Then make them the final four. It's not perfect but you get the story aspect without the big predictability.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Megatron is a fucking beast. I said this before but I'd pay alot to see a Megatron/LBJ/AP fight.

    ReplyDelete
  49. You will be listening for a while... trolls tend not to explain themselves when it is easier to just be a contrarian asshole

    ReplyDelete
  50. Go make a football thread

    ReplyDelete
  51. Is it a date with a happy ending or just a regular date? Because either way, I'll enter the Rumble and my adrenaline fueled body will do the rest. That's how the end of my date with Mickie James would go as well.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Why? Not enough games

    ReplyDelete
  53. For a second I thought he was talking about Megatron the Transformer. And then I thought he wanted Megatron to fight John Bradshaw Leyfield. I get confused easily.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Roman Reigns
    Cody Rhodes
    CM Punk
    Daniel Bryan
    Sheamus
    Bray Wyatt
    Big E
    Antonio Cesaro

    ReplyDelete
  55. I'd fully endorse a Megatron JBL fight if JBLs vocal chords get destroyed so he can never announce again.

    ReplyDelete
  56. See was that so hard?


    That said I don't see how Sheamus has momentum while having been injured since July though I can still see him winning... Bryan is the only other one on your list with a real shot at winning it.

    ReplyDelete
  57. How does Bryan have momentum?

    ReplyDelete
  58. First mistake was playing a road game by going to a families you don't know. I flew cross country Tuesday just to avoid that ackwardness. Her family is local and I don't have enough friends staying local for me to use that as an excuse. So I had to travel. I sat watching football right up until we ate, stuffed my face and promptly went right back to the game (which I even paused).
    Now I'm sitting here way full waiting for pie time while other people clean shit. This is tremendous. Gotta play Thanksgiving dinner with the home court advantage bro.

    ReplyDelete
  59. A complete agree with this 100% but I do feel a bit better over the last few years since they at least identified the wwe title has being more important.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Oh man, all good points. Thats sounds tremoundous. My parents have came down and vacationed here for a week the past few years during Thanksgiving so am used to that.

    The going to a family's place you barely know is so awkward. You first have to make small talk, then the inevitable questions about you dating their daughter, all while trying to watch football that you've bet money on.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I want the world to know that last night I watched survivor series 88...in my parents basement. True story.

    Also I highly recommend everyone go watch the tag team match from that show today as you celebrate Thanksgiving. I got good and stoned (edibles in my luggage) and watched it closely. ****1/4. Would be 4.5 but I don't love the ending and frankly the double turn wasn't executed great.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I want to see promos of JBL on a space station preventing other autobots from coming to Earth.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Are you Calvin Candie?

    ReplyDelete
  64. Create a what if post about what if Farva made a football post.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I remember being convinced Ziggler was going to win after the double turn earlier this year.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Haha. The butterfly effect of that would be huge.

    ReplyDelete
  67. They just ran an angle where Bryan was found in the parking lot. So we are going to say no on him.

    Reigns has been stuck in tag matches. It's a big stretch to give him the Rumble and a title shot at WM.

    CM Punk could win and main event but he doesn't have any momentum either cause he's been riding the mid card treadmill since September.

    The rest are laughable at this point.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I voted Obama once!!!

    ReplyDelete
  69. I think the Rumble being predictble is ok cause it's essentially giving the fans what they have been begging for. If a red-hot babyface existed we would all love to see him win the Rumble, main event WM, and win the title. Predictable does not have to equal boring, but there isn't a thing wrong with it sometimes.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I don't like going to a gfs family's house for a 20 minute pop in much less a major holiday.PrProbably the worst call I ever made was taking a weekend trip with an ex gf to visit her family in Iowa. Just the worst. But I learned my lesson. I'd frankly rather fake an illness and stay home than go to a families I don't know, especially if I'm dating one of them.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I cringe at the thought of Sheamus winning the Rumble. I've seen them make worse decision tho...

    ReplyDelete
  72. I want you to know that I watched that LIVE ON PPV WHEN IT AIRED. The first one we ever got the old man to order.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I knew I wasn't the only one betting all three games today. I want to give thanks to matt Flynn...for being exactly who I thought he was!

    ReplyDelete
  74. I'd bet Reigns right now. It doesn't make logical sense but it does make Vince sense.

    ReplyDelete
  75. What you bet? I teased Dallas/Det. Money line Rave s also

    ReplyDelete
  76. 2010 did a pretty good job with that.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Bryan, Punk, Brock are the top choices in that order. Nothing else makes sense.

    ReplyDelete
  78. That's fantastic. I know the card was rocked by injury (who the fuck was that nobody on Jake Roberts team) but it was still so awesome. Great match ups with the snake vs andres team (with the whole fantastic Andre is scared shirtless of Damien angle) and a great heel finish, mega powers vs team twin towers, and that fucking tag match with aa, tully, demolition, Bret, Shawn, dynamite kid...even Paul Roma hit some awesome spots in that match.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Hell, we've seen them make THAT decision.

    ReplyDelete
  80. I was trying to find a way to say it but that sums it up - "rearranging furniture". Was that the year that Edge lost one title and then entered the second chamber to win the title and set up the other title match? They also did it with Cena/Batista - it's February and they want Batista defending the title against Cena at Wrestlemania. Only Sheamus is the WWE Champion. So just have Cena win the chamber and Batista randomly comes out for another match so he can have the title. They sort of did it with Triple H/Orton to, as Orton won the Rumble and was already messing with the McMahons. Coincidently Triple H wins the WWE Championship, but the match happens because Triple H challenged Orton to challenge him, essentially making the Rumble victory meaningless.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Agreed, the Wrestlemania main event should be something you can predict months ahead of time because the company should be moving in that direction. A dominant bad guy's doing his thing while a dominant face is doing his thing and their paths meet at Wrestlemania. All they do now is pair off their main eventers and try to find a story for the match 6 weeks before Wrestlemania.

    ReplyDelete
  82. They seem to like the surprise entrant returns from injury to win the Rumble thing. Edge and Cena won in their returns just because.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Jake and Duggan had the worst team ever. Scott Casey? how did he make it?? That gigantic tag match was the best thing ever. The turn was rather confusing. It lasted forever but didn't feel like it.



    Originally, we missed out on the first match cause we couldn't figure out how to order the damn thing.

    I'll take boring over not being with the family for the holiday and having to work a 5:30pm-5:30am shift at Best Buy. Today is gonna blow so hard...

    ReplyDelete
  86. It seemed like they were setting things up for Ziggler to chase Del Rio. But instead they just blew it off in a month or two and had Cena save the WHC from Del Rio.

    ReplyDelete
  87. God, I'd love Bryan. How do you think it plays out though? Give HHH the WHC and go Bryan vs HHH at WM to pay it off? Bryan vs Orton at Mania? I'm not sure how they get from Bryan winning the Rumble to WM.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Turkey legs for everyone!

    ReplyDelete
  89. I bet the lions -6.5 and then did a three way 6 pt tease, det -.5, Dallas -3.5 and Pitt at plus 8.5

    Oh and I bet under 40.5 for Baltimore vs Pitt.I might bet tthe cowboys game out right. I wish I could bet Oakland on the ml at +350 but there is no chance

    ReplyDelete
  90. Matt Flynn threw for 71 yards. How is that even possible?

    ReplyDelete
  91. Man what's rarer than a good Thanksgiving day football game?

    ReplyDelete
  92. I teased Dallas also but man is that game making me real nervous.

    ReplyDelete
  93. If this was 1990 that would be negative 71 yarda

    ReplyDelete
  94. I hate how he keeps getting chances based off 1 throw away regular season game vs a 2nd string defense.

    ReplyDelete
  95. The Ziggler de push is frustrating and depressing. He was RIGHT THERE after the double turn.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Any NFL QB should be worth at least twice that. I'm with you though, it amazes me how he's been able to coast off that while Vince Young sits at home.

    ReplyDelete
  97. I think he said something in an interview that rubbed them the wrong way. Supposedly. It's too bad, aside from his in-ring talent he seems to really feel his character.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Smiling Sheamus comes back for a big win.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Bonus points if this was watched on VHS.

    ReplyDelete
  100. He said something in a lot of interviews that rubbed them the wrong way. If you want to hear it look for the Peter Rosenberg interview he did during WM weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  101. If I had to pick a main event/title match based solely on my personal preference it's Brock defending against Punk. It's not quite as special as it would be without the Summerslam match but I've always liked the idea we all pitched where Brock just destroys Punk and the story of the match is the David vs Goliath aspect. A true "overcoming the odds" story, rather than the "can the jacked up guy who always wins beat the guy who's smaller than him and never wins?" story.

    ReplyDelete
  102. I think it's to early to split the shield up, think you can still explore some stuff with them, but I'm sipping the Reigns Kool aid...big time. He's got it all

    ReplyDelete
  103. Amsterdam_Adam_CurryNovember 28, 2013 at 1:35 PM

    Vince Young? Are you serious?

    ReplyDelete
  104. I'm not a Sheamus fan so this makes me cringe. Cena comes out and they celebrate with a grin off.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Amsterdam_Adam_CurryNovember 28, 2013 at 1:36 PM

    Yeah, he's who I'd put the money on. Or Sheamus, if he's back by then.

    ReplyDelete
  106. I personally don't see it. At this point he looks like generic big man #3285, but I also see this as inevitable.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Ha. VY baby!!! He's been REAL bad, especially when he was in philly, but I can't believe he's not on a roster. He must be a head case or something bc he could play a little. He was like 31 and 19 as a starter.

    ReplyDelete
  108. They really don't have much of a choice. They can't put any of the retreads in there and expect it to take so it has to be someone they haven't destroyed with nonsensical booking decisions.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Amsterdam_Adam_CurryNovember 28, 2013 at 1:39 PM

    You'd be better off signing Tim Tebow. They both completely suck, but at least with Tebow you can be relatively sure he won't literally start crying when he gets booed.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Vince Young came in and, in my opinion, won that backup qb job this summer. You telling me he's not better than the crapfest they have put out the last six weeks?

    ReplyDelete
  111. Most big dudes aren't even a tenth as athletic as he is. Dude gives Ziggler and Brock a run for their money for best bumps.

    ReplyDelete
  112. He "won" the backup job this past summer.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Lol. I forgot about that...and then him going MIA while people thought he was going to kill himself.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Amsterdam_Adam_CurryNovember 28, 2013 at 1:41 PM

    I'd have Bryan win it, but I'm thinking they already have plans for him. Big E winning wouldn't shock me either, supposedly they want to start pushing him.

    ReplyDelete
  115. You read that longform Tebow interview up on Sports Illustrated? Try telling the guy that wrote that, that Tebow sucks.

    ReplyDelete
  116. I'd bet money Sheamus is coming back as a heel. But smiling Sheamus was so god awful, they Diesel'd him.

    ReplyDelete
  117. Funny thing is, the fans in attendance initially viewed it as a Fuji face turn.

    ReplyDelete
  118. Amsterdam_Adam_CurryNovember 28, 2013 at 1:42 PM

    No, I did not. And he does suck, if he was any good he'd be employed right now.

    ReplyDelete
  119. I'm an eagles fan so followed him closely in philly. The rumblimgs from the "inside" were that he literally couldn't learn the play book and couldn't make a read to save his life. He was horrific that year.

    ReplyDelete
  120. I mean what's his character? Why is he in the WWE? Hell, they never bothered to explain when and why they started working for HHH. They just show up and beat a guy down and leave. It's about as generic as it gets. Maybe they can give him a personality in the next two months, but he doesn't have one right now.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Brock/Bryan is my personal WM main event preference. Bryan wins Rumble, Cena retains title at EC, HHH makes a deal with the devil to finally get the title off Cena before Mania. Makes Cena defend title the night after EC on Raw against Brock. Brock wins. Bryan beats Brock.

    ReplyDelete
  122. Amsterdam_Adam_CurryNovember 28, 2013 at 1:43 PM

    The guy has proven that he's just not mentally stable enough. Not that I'm saying Flynn is better, I mean, when the fucking Bills cut you, you suck. See also: Vince Young.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Vince Young proved himself to Green Bay this summer. He was the best backup qb in camp and they cut him in my opinion because of stuff from the past. If he came in and did what was asked how could he not deserve the job?

    ReplyDelete
  124. This is why I think it's a little to early to break up the shield...explore the stuff you've mentioned first. He's uber athletic, great look, young, great in ring work for his size, amd just has "it". My only questions on him are his ability to work longer matches and his ability to cut a real money promoo, but I give him the benefit of the doubt on both of those.

    ReplyDelete
  125. It's too soon for both Big E and Reigns. They need another year of solid booking.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Amsterdam_Adam_CurryNovember 28, 2013 at 1:47 PM

    I'm not a Packers fan (the NFC North might as well be the CFL as far as I'm concerned), so I guess I have to take your word for it. I doubt they cut him because of past history though, if that was the case he never would have been brought in to begin with.

    ReplyDelete
  127. And what exactly did the Powers of Pain do to turn heel? Man that was way way way too complicated.

    ReplyDelete
  128. Amsterdam_Adam_CurryNovember 28, 2013 at 1:47 PM

    Solid booking? In this company? You're a funny guy, cult...

    ReplyDelete
  129. They work for HHH because they are assholes and hypocrites. They're there to win titles and fuck up people. They explained this awhile ago.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Powers of Pain were already heels.

    ReplyDelete
  131. True on the last part, but the consensus was that he won the job. Seneca Wallace, Tolzien, Flynn. Vince Young wouldn't look out of place in that lineup. He'd probably suck too, but he wouldn't be any worse.

    ReplyDelete
  132. Were they? I don't think they were but I haven't watched it in a while.

    ReplyDelete
  133. Funny how? Like I'm a clown? I'm here to amuse you? HOW AM I FUCKING FUNNY?!

    ReplyDelete
  134. I'll take your word on that. Every time I see them on tv they are doing the absolute same thing they did the week before, the exact same way they did the week before. There has been zero character development for months and now all of a sudden they can't get along and are about to break up?

    ReplyDelete
  135. Yeah they were babyfaces

    ReplyDelete
  136. They are getting along fine, WWE is just planting the seeds for a breakup but fans are like OMG THEY'RE GONNA BREAK UP NEXT WEEK WTF

    ReplyDelete
  137. The post-match Coliseum exclusive interview. Plus on the house show circuit they attacked various low level faces (such as Paul Roma) for putting their hands on Fuji.

    Even the Apter mags back then expressed confusion over the turn.

    ReplyDelete
  138. In JCP/NWA, yes, but not initially in the WWF.

    ReplyDelete
  139. Ah, I see. That has to be the only turn in history that no one got.

    ReplyDelete
  140. You're right, I just looked it up on wiki. I thought they just put them on the babyface team to make the Demo turn work.

    ReplyDelete
  141. I like the play of "HHH making a deal with the devil to finally get the belt off Cena" It would make me really want to see Brock/Cena on the Wm big stage more them Brock/Bryan tho.

    ReplyDelete
  142. This is random as all get out, but do you remember the 6-man from Nitro with DDP, Sting, Luger vs Flair, Hogan, and Hart? Everyone forgot who the face and heels were and started cheering from the wrong team.



    Don't know why, but this conversation reminded me of that.

    ReplyDelete
  143. I know the Cena going corporate champion talk is sacrilegious and no one is allowed to bring it up anymore, but................................just kidding.

  144. I don't remember alot from post 98 WCW. Actually 99-01 for both companies is a blur to me for some reason even though I was still watching every week at that point.

  146. Quick Barbarian story: I was at a NWA show at the Omni when I was 4 or 5 or so. Barbarian comes out and, according to my dad, I was so scared of him I was literally trying to crawl under my seat because I was sure he was coming after me.

  148. I got a HBK vibe from him too, thought they were even gonna give him the superkick finish, he is the only one who can almost do it as well as Shawn. Big Show even said in an interview that they need to give him that finish.

    He probably is better than whatever a "Tolzien" is.

  150. I've always loved Barbarian. Dude was a bit underrated I think. I loved the Faces of Fear tag team in WCW. They could have been a way bigger deal in a different era. WCW was just so clogged with tag teams at the time though.

  151. I'd like to see hhh vs Orton get 45 minutes to close the show.

  152. Sheamus coming back as a heel makes too much sense.

  153. Since this thread is one big threadjack already, can we talk about how fucking amazing Austin and his podcast is? I would have never bet on that happening in a million years. Dude seems like he is biggest wrestling nerd of all time, I love it. Forgot about WWE throwing a truckload of money at him to wrestle, they need to throw a truckload of money at him to host a show on the WWE network.

  154. I don't understand why the Powers of Pain didn't make it. They had everything Vince seems to want.


    So the PoP quit the NWA because they didn't want to do a scaffold match. The Road Warriors came out on tv and cut a promo on them for it. I don't blame the PoP for walking, f that!

  155. Hhh was the kind of guy who liked to dress like barbarians from the movies.

  156. The first few episodes his cadence was really odd. You could tell the questions were written ahead of time and it almost seemed like he recorded them and sent them to the subject who then recorded answers to them. He has really gotten much more comfortable and natural with it. I think I still prefer Colt's show, but Austin definitely benefits from being able to get the bigger name guests.

  157. We also need to talk about why Marv Cresto is not posting any reviews of said podcasts since he agreed to do so last week. I hear they are awesome but I'd much rather prefer someone do the write-up for me.

  158. Who is Marv Cresto?

  159. He posts on the board occasionally

  160. His mind for the business is just amazing. I love hearing him talk about how he would do things (it's typically always the opposite of what wwe is doing). Fucking smart dude but I attribute some of his knowledge to working all over the world, in 3 major north Americans promotions, etc. The wwe guys today will never learn the nuances of how to draw, booking, etc like guys like Austin did

  161. I love that he asks every quest about David Shultz. It has basically become a running gag.

  162. He must of forgotten to shake my hand. Job duty for 3 months for that guy now.

  163. This is definitely the best idea.

    If that's what he wants to do, fine, I hope WWE gives him a shot. But still... I mean, if I was Chris Benoit's kid I'd change my name and just try to lay low and shit. BTW, there's a guy on the NFL network named Andy Benoit that looks a lot like Chris, I wonder if they're related.

  166. Triple H takes way too many digs at the smark mindset not to be obsessed with them.

  167. Because heel heat translates to face heat for your opponent. He doesn't WANT to give more heat to Bryan. That was the point.
