Pro Wrestling Discussion Number IV

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

After doing research it appears that Christian will indeed becoming back to WWE soon. I haven't seen anything that stats otherwise.

Also Angle's contract with TNA is set to expire soon but it's safe to assume he'll resign with TNA for at least two more years.

Raw was kind of bland tonight, why is Dolph Ziggler a heel? I thought they where building him up as a face but oh well.

I see the WWE title changing hands Sunday night too. My guess is they'll finally give the belt to Hardy and so on.

[Brick Side]

I honestly couldn't see him getting it until WM. I think he'll win the Rumble this year... then again, we'll see. A face has won it for the last few years, so it should be a heel's turn... I think Orton or Jericho are the prime contenders for that.

Anyway, they're obviously comfortable with Edge as champ and I do think he is a good champ and will enjoy his latest run, but I think it is inevitable that it will lead to a Jeff title run. I would rather it not change hands this Sunday because I am not a big fan at all of these short title reigns the WWE has been doing lately, esp. on Raw. I can just see them doing the Jeff chases the title angle until he finally catches it. That will take a few months, possibly through WM since they are favoring these longer storylines now. That gives some others guys time to get prepped for the main event status since it is a bit thin on Smackdown right now.

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

Well Jeff's been in the title hunt off and on for about a year now it started in January then for the past three PPVs he's been in the title picture, I don't see why they'd keep in in the title picture till WM that'd be six months of him in the "hunt".

I'm still curious to see what they have planned for Christian if he returns. I could see him fueding with Edge if Edge still has the title.

[Brick Side]

Ah, I dunno. I just look at Edge as champ and wonder: would they really make him a transitional champ again, especially for someone who hasn't been champ yet? Honestly, I would think no. Again, I think Jeff's time is coming, but it won't be for awhile.

Now if Christian were to return, I could see him vs Edge at WM, then they'd probably go with Jeff vs HHH for the title or something. We'll see. It's important to remember that Smackdown has had a face champ for months now, and so it really it a heels turn to run with it, especially for more than a month. Then again who knows... the WWE seems to be breaking some of the taboos I have come to know lately.

[GhostMachine]

Jeff Hardy really should be out of the title hunt. With him having two strikes against him, I think we're a long way off from them even considering putting the title on him. And frankly, I'd be happy if he never gets the title. He's a glorified spotmonkey, or, if you like, the world's most overpaid backyarder.

Christian coming back would be good, if he does get legitimately pushed. I was extremely p.o.'d at the WWE for the way he was treated before he left to go to TNA. He was easily one of the most over guys on RAW, so what did they do? Moved him to SD and had him job to the Mexicools. If he's not getting a push or a significant raise from what he made when he was in the WWE before - or both - he should probably stay with TNA, lame as it is.

I could easily see him coming in as a heel only for Edge to be condescending or act like Christian is beneath him, leading to Christian turning face and feuding with Edge. No way Edge is turning face anytime soon, I would think. (Although, Edge works fine as a face (as long as he's somewhat cocky) or heel and Christian actually is better as a heel than he is as a face)

I agree.....Knox needs to go.

I get pissed just looking at him.

The best fan service WWE can do(besides something sexy with the divas), is feed him to everyone he's "bullied", then send him out a beat up mess.

[GhostMachine]

[Brick Side]

I like Tom Cruise as an actor. He is in quite a few good movies, so I have no problem with him.

But yes, everyone else can go. Why even bother with Boogeyman? He doesn't even wrestle anymore. He's just a special attraction.

Mike Knox has one of the worst looks in recent memory. He looks extremely boring and does nothing spectacular in the ring. He's just another Snitsky... hopefully he doesn't stick around as long.

By the way, I am in the process of getting the Ladder Match DVD set. I really can't wait to watch it. I've been trying to get a good download for months now and finally found one.

[Brick Side]

Wow, Jeff Hardy won the title. I really didn't think they'd take it off of Edge so soon. Too many title changes on both brands lately, but it is nice he has it finally.

[Temjin]

I don't mind the Boogeyman. Heck, if possible, I hope they actually make him a heel Boogeyman, capable of fighting Undertaker and actually being supernatural. If the guy wasn't so injury prone, slow, and stiff, maybe he'd actually get somewhere in the ranks....like become Sci-Fi's perfect ECW Champion.

....better than that new guy, who's apparently coming for Undertaker's "dark power".....

Anywho, Jeff finally gets to run with the gold....let's hope this isn't a transition, at least for a while.....WWE seems to be breaking some habits lately(like the House Show title changes that've happened here and there these last few years) and maybe that phrase "Transitional Champion", no longer applies to those who wi n their titles at "normal" PPVs.

[Brick Side]

You've noticed that they've been breaking their taboos too, huh?

At least they are doing things differently... I just wish they wouldn't pull all of these title changes. Takes away from their prestige. The one good thing is that they are making things more unpredictable, which is really needed.

[mrbluehair]

LOL How about word that back stage heat culminated with 5'-7", 175lb Joey Styles finally having enough torment from JBL and punching the 6'-6", 290lb former college football player and laying him out with a cut to the eye....

If that is true....I would have loved to been a fly on the wall then...from what I hear JBL is something of a backstage bully and can be tough to deal with, word that a little guy put him on his but could drastically change things going forward.

[kidnicky]

[Brick Side]

Okay, so Raw is on now and Deuce is fighting Rey... and before the match started he says he wants to be known by his real name. I am thinking that this is awesome, he is well on his way to joining Rhodes, Manu, and Orton... and then he says his name... SIM Snuka. Yes, Sim... what the hell... What's wrong with Jimmy Snuka Jr, or James Snuka? Anything is better than Sim!

Is that even a name???
