Re: The Official WWE Thread - Part 2

Both of their styles are different. Rock's promos consist of a lot of jokes/humour/catchphrases etc, while Punk's promos are serious and realistic.

I know but who sits through Raw or Smackdown hoping for realism?

The usual good guy vs bad guy storylines kinda get boring. I prefer the realistic, controversial, edgy, worked shoot type storylines.

i like the controversial and edgy bit but the realism isn't as important but its just a preference thing.

[RealGunner]

Good guy bad guy is what gets the crowd and what brings out the reaction from them. They have to do it.

[Onyx]

I also like storylines that make you want to tune in the following week. There's not really been much of those recently.

[zizzle]

AE Rock mic skills >>>> anyone else. This Rock's mic skills are good but no where near his standards. Punk out shined him in that promo and anyone who says otherwise is plain biased. Cookiepuss ? Seriously ?

On other news, Super Cena ruined the show for me. Childish promo with childish attitude and childish jokes, and to top it all, he kicks out of two finishers and wins the match...way to bury Zigglers Vince...good job

lets admit it, if someone else was saying the exact same things the crowd wouldnt bother, but the Rock, due to his history and celebratory status, will get a reaction just by standing there

[RealGunner]

WWE can get even more out of this if the referee is Stone Cold or HBK

More depth of storylines really is lacking now. A lot of the matches and feuds are just surface feuds with little substance.

Had Rock gone '99 on Punk, you still would have seen a joke like that here and there. It's always been his method, but I agree Rock can still go a few more levels. Punk was brilliant though.. played his part perfectly.

As for Super Cena, he starts off the show the same way he usually ends it. No surprise there. Ziggler will get his time though.

[Yeezus]

Alberto wins, Ziggler still hasn't got his belt.

IWC rages.

Because they have done the DX reunion so many times, The Wrestling Observer reports that WWE officials have discussed doing an Evolution reunion, possibly at the RAW 20th Anniversary show next week.

With Triple H, Ric Flair and Randy Orton already in the building, the main issue would be getting Batista to come back for one night.


Regarding The Rock winning the WWE Title from CM Punk, there is a lot of talk that the title change won't happen at the Royal Rumble.

Instead, Rock would win the title at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view in the Chamber main event.

Batista. would love to see him in WWE again.

WWE officially announce Mick Foley's induction into the Hall of Fame. Will be glad to see this as he deserves it, plus I will be there.

One of the best stables ever. Batista's heel run before he left was pretty good though, it would be funny to just see him show up out of the blue after the way he left.

Still hoping Punk goes over Rock at RR without the clean pin, just to extend the feud another few weeks.

It was announced on Friday's episode of SmackDown that The Rock Concert would return on the 20th Anniversary of RAW this Monday. Here is a promo:

There is talk within WWE that Randy Orton may need some time off this year for some kind of personal issue, reports PWInsider. No word yet on the issue but we do know it's nothing to do with an injury or Wellness.

Apparently it's some kind of family issue he will need to put time and attention into.


WWE officials actually discussed going against Brock Lesnar's planned dates and have him work the January 7th RAW but obviously decided against it. Lesnar isn't expected back until February.

A source confirms to PWInsider that we will indeed be seeing more than just a few familiar WWE faces in this year's 30-man Royal Rumble main event.

It was recently rumored that WWE was planning to bring back some midcard talents and some of those same names were on a list for surprise Rumble entrants.

Tommy Dreamer's name was brought up in a recent WWE creative meeting about a surprise entrant in this year's 30-man Royal Rumble match.

[Onyx]

All the old intros.

[Onyx]

Del Rio as a face.

[Onyx]

Barrett beat Orton clean.

[Yeezus]

Fantastic segment from Team Hell NO

How likely is it that the Rock beats Punk for the title at some point?

[Onyx]

Not sure really. I don't really think it makes sense giving the title to Rock. He isn't going to be on RAW every week. However he could maybe win at the Royal Rumble and then lose it at Wrestlemania.

Eve Torres leaving WWE.

Eve is said to be burnt out from being on the road and has talked about taking time off to get married and work on her home, as well as other personal goals like her self-defense program for women.

That would put her next on the growing list of ladies departing WWE over the past year, right alongside Beth Phoenix, Kelly Kelly, Kharma, and Nikki and Brie Bella.

Recently, Torres was engaged to be married to Rener Gracie, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor from the famous Gracie family. Eve has become a spokeswoman and head instructor a self-defense program using the same name and at 28-years-old and on the cusp of starting a family, may want to ease off the brutal schedule wrestling with WWE demands.
