Orton finally a heel. Hopefully he explains more about why he turned. Randomly being in a stable isn't really enough.

by Tomwin Lannister Tue Aug 20, 2013 4:04 pm

Orton never turned at all Laughing

He's the 'viper' he took an opportunity.

HHH turned. Orton never turned at all.

by Onyx Tue Aug 20, 2013 4:16 pm

I think he's turned heel/turning. The way he spoke to the crowd about 'giving Triple H respect' sounded heelish.

His character will have to evolve/progress. Otherwise no one will be able to tell whether he's a heel or not.

The viper isn't really a face/heel anyway, he does what he likes.

Not sure what would be best though. Either he stays as a tweener or he turns into proper heel.

he's the new corporate champion who didnt even let Bryan get to the ring before attacking him, it doesnt get anymore heelish than that

John Cena was initially being treated for bursitis in his elbow, which is when the tear in his triceps was discovered. He has a minor tear, which may mean a shorter physical rehab.

Cena will be having surgery this week under Dr. James Andrews. The story Cena told about the company wanting to cancel his Summerslam main event and Cena refusing is said to be legitimate.

Bryan and Orton still appearing on Smackdown.

Not sure they should appear on Smackdown if they're part of the biggest storyline in WWE.

Whats the go with the Miz, is he a wrestler or a commentator? or is this just a way of keeping him relevant while hes recovering from an injury?

Also i gather that the Randy Orton v Daniel Bryan thing is just a poor mans version of the Rock/The Cooporation v Mankind

WWE is interested in trying to book Bill Goldberg to face Ryback for next year's WrestleMania XXX pay-per-view in New Orleans.

Over the past few years, Goldberg has sent mixed signals to fans, stating that he didn't want to return to WWE, but recently he's been re-thinking those statements. Goldberg's son, who is now old enough to watch some of his matches, is one of the factors behind a return.

WWE has been featuring Golberg prominently, with a spot in the upcoming WWE 2K14 video game, and a 3-disc DVD collection on his career set to be released soon.

Ryback is in line for a major push coming out of his current bullying gimmick. Those who work in WWE merchandising have been told to go heavy on coming up with ideas for him. Usually when they get that word it means not just a big push but a babyface turn.

___________________________________________

WWE apparently changed the planned finish to the CM Punk vs. Brock Lesnar SummerSlam match in the middle of last week. This could be because The Undertaker has agreed to work Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX and if that's going to be one of the main events, Lesnar had no business losing at SummerSlam and going into WrestleMania with a 2-3 record.

____________________________________________

As seen on RAW, John Cena mentioned that he was advised to skip SummerSlam and cancel the Daniel Bryan match because of his elbow injury. Cena was telling the truth there. He insisted on doing the match and putting Bryan over before taking time off to have surgery. Cena's rehab will be part of the storylines on several new episodes of WWE Total Divas.

by Tomwin Lannister Fri Aug 23, 2013 7:15 pm

WWE creative jumped Cena in the parking lot, forcing him out with an injury so he'd double the ratings on Total divas :bow:

Also, Rybacks bully angle would be both pointless and extremely confusing if he randomly ditches it and starts babyfacing it up.

by zizzle Fri Aug 23, 2013 7:44 pm

Well if they are serious about the bullying gimmick sooner or later they'll introduce a smaller guy who will not take shit and go for a david goliath story. I dont see how the bully can turn into a babyface though..

While John Cena is telling people his target for a return to the ring is WrestleMania XXX, within WWE privately people are talking about him returning at the Royal Rumble. That would be just under 5 months after the surgery, which would be pushing it slightly.

by Tomwin Lannister Sun Aug 25, 2013 5:36 pm

I'm going to stop watching the Royal Rumble if they keep giving it to the same 2 or 3 people.

Goldberg on Ryback:

“I don’t think it was his idea to change his gimmick up. He is just taking direction. It gets annoying. It surely got annoying when people called me Steve Austin, but at the end of the day, I took it as a compliment. If I was Ryback or whatever his name is, and I’m not going to be sitting here on my high-horse, but hey man, you have to look in the mirror and thank God that they are comparing him to me. I got more talent in one finger than that punk has in his entire body. I have at 46-years-old more presence than he could have in his entire life. The only reason I’m adamantly antagonized is because he has opened his mouth a couple of times as of late. I guess he was over in Europe and said he took a big Goldberg or something. Ask Triple H. I don’t like people talking about me when I’m not in the business. Ryback, if I see you around, you better hold on tight. That’s all I got to say. This ain’t the WWE. This is called life."

and so it begins bounce
