Re: The Official WWE Thread - Part 3

Thing with Mark Henry is he's at his best when he's a heel and destroying people imo. He was a comedy face dancing around I think prior to turning heel.

[RealGunner]

Mclewis makes a good point however i would have made him even more of a heel by helping shield destroy ryback. That would have been good

Cena vs Seamus main event

[Onyx]

Hopefully not.

[Tomwin Lannister]

WWE need to pick up that phone and get fkn Viscera back.


And they need to book more segments when HHH talks about lifting. They're fkn epic.

Well actually, I thought Mark Henry should've helped Ryback destroy the Shield (because I fully believe both them are more than enough to do that job) and then when it looked like he wasn't a heel, THEN he'd turn around and dismantle Ryback. Ryback would've never seen that coming.

Could've been like one of those "No one destroys you, but me" type deals.

Like I said, seriously missed opportunity by the writers.

[RealGunner]

That would have been pretty interesting indeed.

[vivabarca38]

That would have been cool,Yes.Henry is best as a heel though,his trash talking is awesome.

If Cena doesn't turn heel now then he aint turning until he's like 42 and at the last stage of his career and then he wouldnt be the face of the company and they could afford to have him turn.

In other news,WWE studios has been having alot of success over the past month and it means that they'll likely concentrate less on the show and more about movies,which also means more movie trailers on Raw.

[Tomwin Lannister]

so Vince wants more Child friendly segments and more Movie trailers and Movie based rivalries... R.I.P WWE until the game steps in and makes it about Wrestling again.

[vivabarca38]

Also,I forgot to add that the reason the product has been so bad recently is because the company is really relaxed.

TNA,WWE's only competitor's highest rating was 1.5.If that ever happened with WWE Vince would sell the company or compete in a Hell in A Cell Match or something like that.Its also not helping that the matches on Raw are mostly squash matches as they cant have a guy who just got a huge push against another guy who has gotten a push.

You cant make a guy like Cody Rhodes defeat a guy like Zack Ryder one week and then the other week expect him to be a serious contender in the eyes of the fans against a guy like Sheamus.

Oh yeah,and their new head writer is a guy who was a co-head writer for a soap opera called Guiding Light.It lasted for 57 years and died under his watch.That's reassuring.

[Onyx]

The booking, storylines, angles etc aren't good enough. 3 hours is too long. The matches are repetitive and stale. Mediocrity seems to be excellence at the moment. Lack of gimmicks and characters. WWE are resting on their laurels.

[zizzle]

Soap opera writters is stephanie's genius contribution to the business and not even HHH can do anything about it

[RealGunner]

lmfao

Expecting some cheesy emotional scene between Ziggler and HoeJ lee

Like I said, seriously missed opportunity by the writers.

But that would have made the Shield look like a joke. They've been booked so strongly and then they can't beat two men? (two big men but still)

And that is what they are doing, just replace Henry with Big Show and Ryback with Orton and Sheamus.

Del Rio-Swagger is ok if it wasn't for the fricken WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE. The US title should be where the IC title is currently, the IC title should be where the World heavyweight title is currently, and the world heavyweight title should just disappear (or merge with the WWE title). It gets ridiculous when guys like Jack Swagger can say he's got more world titles than Roddy Piper.

[RealGunner]

The value of the titles have degraded so much

For example Cena isn't after the championship, but redemption. Swagger wants to kick del rio out of america instead of winning the heavyweight.

IC is pretty relevant atm but its not as big.

No idea wtf is happening with the US title.

[Onyx]

Yeh the titles are just props.

[Onyx]

A WWE source notes that it was not a coincidence that WWE released the video of Stephanie McMahon boxing earlier this week. Stephanie most likely will be involved in the WrestleMania 29 match between Brock Lesnar and Triple H, to even the odds against Paul Heyman.

It was previously reported that Shawn Michaels may be in Triple H's corner for the match but Stephanie having a role may mean that the plan with Michaels didn't work out.

[Casciavit]

Will Mr Wrestlemania have any part in this years wrestlemania ?

[Onyx]

Doesn't look like it.

[Onyx]

Tonight's WWE RAW takes place from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with WWE Champion The Rock, John Cena, Chris Jericho and others.

There will be no Brock Lesnar or Triple H on tonight's show unless last minute changes were made. The Undertaker is being advertised by the arena but not by WWE. No matches have been announced for tonight but The Shield vs. Cena, Sheamus and Ryback is advertised locally.

WWE is focusing on the following points for tonight's show:

* What will happen when Cena and Rock come face to face?

* Can AJ Lee disrupt Kane and Daniel Bryan?

* Does CM Punk have an unprecedented advantage over The Streak?

* What will Chris Jericho have to say to Fandango?

* Will Jack Swagger feel the wrath of Alberto Del Rio?

--------------------


While we haven't seen Alberto Del Rio make his entrance in a fancy car in a few months now, word is that they have a grand entrance planned for him at WrestleMania 29. We've noted how Jack Swagger may be driving an 18-wheeler for his WrestleMania entrance.

WWE officials have been discussing turning Booker T heel once WrestleMania 29 and the Hall of Fame are over.

[Onyx]

Brock Lesnar is featured on the promotional poster for WWE's Payback pay-per-view so it looks like he will be working that event:





---------------------


Regarding Paul Heyman spending most of his time on RAW with Brock Lesnar, he has not been split from his association with CM Punk. The feeling is that Heyman isn't needed in the segments with Punk and The Undertaker.


------------------------


As noted earlier, Ric Flair had to leave RAW this evening and was briefly hospitalized before heading home to a hospital in Charlotte. Flair was sent to the hospital for complications from a blood clot. Flair didn't wrestle for All Japan back in January due to a blood clot in his leg.

WWE medical staff took a look at Flair's leg this afternoon and immediately made the decision to pull him off the show and send him to the hospital. Flair was examined at the hospital and advised to return home to Charlotte for further treatment.

Flair was scheduled for a segment with Bret Hart and Jerry Lawler that would have seen them discuss John Cena vs. The Rock at WrestleMania 29.

[Onyx]

Punk getting cheered.

[Onyx]

Triple H.

Big Show turns face again?
