WWE is apparently considering turning The Undertaker heel, or at the least a tweener, so that he can work a program with Eddie Guerrero over the WWE Title. If the plans do go ahead for him to take a heel turn, it's likely he'll continue his alliance with Paul Heyman and the Dudley Boys. He may play a tweener so that he can go back to being a face after the potential Guerrero program.

Nick Dinsmore, who plays Eugene, has said to be impressing many backstage. Many feel he deserves the sucess he's getting as he's doing such a good job. However, the only concern some have is that the character could be getting too fast a push, which often causes people to get sick of the character.


Eddie vs Taker would be better than Eddie vs Bradshaw (would also support the rumour that their firing Bradshaw) however, I'd rather see Eddie vs Booker T.


The following matches are confirmed for Thursday night's edition of WWE SmackDown!:

WWE Tag Team Title Match
The Dudley Boyz vs. Rico and Charlie Haas (Can anyone see a Taker run in? huh.gif )

Eddie Guerrero vs. Doug Basham (Why Eddie fighting a jobber? Does anyone think Doug will win? rolleyes.gif )

Kenzo Suzuki vs. Spike Dudley (Why is Kenzo fighting jobbers?! disgust.gif )

WWE Cruiserweight Title Match
Rey Mysterio pinned Chavo Classic (pin him, and pin him fast and get the cruiserweight title over again)

Luther Raines vs. Funaki (Hope Funaki wins, although I know he never with)

John Cena and Rob Van Dam vs. Rene Dupree and Booker T (This should be good, although I could see both sides imploding)

While there is still a lot of talk going around of a Chris Benoit vs. Edge match at Summerslam this year, some sources are saying that the chance of the match happening is still 50/50, as Triple H may be looking into having his rematch with Benoit. The original plan for Summerslam was for a Benoit vs. Triple H singles match, but now there are a few other options as well.


As much as HHH has been in to many main events as of late, I'd rather see HHH vs Beniot than give Edge a main event push wacko.gif

In a recent article on WWE.com, Christian said that he may be out of action for around another month due to his injured back. Doctors are currently encouraging Christian to take a few months off to allow his back to heal, since he could end up needing surgery a few years down the line. From what has been said, Christian wants to avoid surgery at all costs, and he'd rather not wrestle for seven or eight weeks, than to have surgery and miss a year.


Hope he'll be okay, Christain was great during his Intercontinental championship run, I loved the 'EXCUSE ME! Intercontental champion here!' ego trip gimmic. grin2.gif Plus, he's a decent enough wrestler, nothing brilliant, but far better than many of the guys the WWE are found of pushing.

Actually now that he's in singles compition and I can tell him appart from the other two, I'm beginning to like Rene, I just wish he'd drop the 'I'm French, Boo me' gimmic.
Booker T
well thats a first somebody that actually like Rene

lol i think its pretty funny that Cena can hardly beat Dupree but when Rey Mysterio wrestled Dupree Mysterio beat him wit only a few problems

It does help that Scotland and France were traditional allies for a long time (The Auld Alliance) before 1707 (Although Rene isn't actually French despite what his gimmic says). And plus I'm not rapped up in this 'USA! USA!' thing that the crowds chant (even when their are no Americans in the ring wacko.gif ). Although I do feel that Rene needs more experience in the ring before I'd ever say I like him as a wrestler as opposed to like him in general.

The poster for Rock's upcoming movie "Spyhunter" has been released. The poster features Rock in the background wearing a leather jacket, with a nice looking silver <A TITLE="Click for more information about car" STYLE="text-decoration: none; border-bottom: medium solid green;" HREF="http://search.targetwords.com/u.search?x=5977|1||||cars|AA1VDw">car</A> in the front with machine guns firing ahead. The Spyhunter logo is on the bottom as well as "The ROCK." The movie will be in theaters in 2005.

As we have been reporting, RAW will be in Miami next week which is Rock's hometown. Rock has already mentioned that he will definately be at the show if he has a free schedule, and there is a lot of feeling that WWE set up the possibility of his return to RAW perfectly, with the Triple H/Eugene angle where Rock can come in and be there for Eugene when Triple H turns his back on him.

There had been a lot of talk of a Chris Benoit vs. Edge match to headline next month's RAW Vengeance PPV, but lately there has been no internal talks concerning the match and nothing was done on RAW this week to progress the storyline between the two.

As reported earlier, the tentative plan for Summerslam is to have Chris Benoit defend the World Heavyweight Title against Triple H, and it is believed that the build towards that match will begin very soon as it was also hinted towards on RAW this week.

The Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels Street Fight scheduled for Madison Square Garden on June 26th is expected to be changed due to Michaels abscence from WWE TV as of RAW this week. As reported yesterday, Michaels will be taking a couple months off to be home with his wife in preparation for their upcoming child. The angle done at RAW this week was done in a way to write Michaels off legitimately for his abscence.

Word has been going around that Rikishi has been let go by WWE, though as of right now those are just rumors as Rikishi is still with WWE right now, but still on the "disabled list" with an ankle injury.

As has been reported, Chavo "Classic" Guerrero, Sr. was released from WWE yesterday. He made his final appearance for WWE at last night's SmackDown! tapings.
It had been mentioned that Chavo missed the house shows on Sunday and Monday. Many backstage were worried that something might have happened to Chavo, but it turns out that he merely blew off the shows without a good reason. Thus, WWE had no choice but to fire him. Considering he lucked into his position, it is rather surprising that he would take his role for granted. Some sources have also noted that Chavo would turn down various ideas in booking meetings, which did not help his situation.
Guerrero did not try to argue his way out of the firing; he accepted it and moved on.


And lastly

QUOTE

Officials at UPN were not pleased at all with the promo which John Bradshaw Layfield did at the Smackdown Tapings this week. In the promo, Bradshaw rips on CNBC for firing him, but it is unknown whether the promo was toned down or if it will be edited. We'll have more on this later on today if possible.


Dear god, this man doesn't know when to stop rolleyes.gif


Oh, and here's the official poster of Vengence next month, Randy's ego goes to a whole new level.

Randy promotes himself to God
Pherrett
Thanks for the link Talon. Its a bit scary the thought of Randy Orton being a god lol
This subject might be closed but if your explaining how wrestlers get through a match you should mention the referees involvement.
Ill have a go at it but im no expert.
The referee is not there for law and order it is all predetermined before the match. He wears an earpiece in his ear which is wired to the writers / management out the back which gives him instructions during the match. Going home is the signal to end a match and he will tell the wrestlers when to go home. Usually they are given a set time to get through all their spots which can be extended or decreased usually due to crowd reaction. Injury can certainly stop a match with information going to the back as the match is going on.

Im sure ive missed vital information and please tell me if ive done so

True, although in low budget feds or in the older days they used pencil movements from the announce team to signify if the match should end. However, indeed the ref is not the innocent victim everyone beleives him to be, he's the ring leader! w00t.gif

moe eubleck
hey guys. A little while ago I posted something about Ken shamrock returning to fight in a MMA tourny against Kimo.
Just saw the fight. It was very short. They wrestled around in the clinch for a few minutes , trying to get the dominant position ( for takedown , strikes or submissions). Frank ended up with a double under hook. This is while standing , Frank had both arms under his opponents shoulders. Because of his leverage advantage, Kimo's head came down a little too low and he got smacked with Frank's knee strike right on the chin. Kimo dropped like a lead weight. To top things off, Frank Shamrock started punching Kimo in the back of his head while he was still down. laugh.gif Then the ref stepped in and it was over.
So yeah it was cool. I wanted kimo to win. He ended up in a very bad position tho. When the other guy has a double underhook, you cant lower your arms to defend from knee strikes.
I know this from experience. Its a good thing that we use helmets in my class.

Just thought I'd share that as a follow up. You guys should really look into UFC. Its not as pretty but I really think you would dig it.

Ladies and gents, old faces and new comers...your great leader has returned!

For the past three weeks, I have led a lonely existance...scraping out a living on sandwiches and coffee, waking up in a bed that's too small finding myself covering in two, sometimes three cats! Pawing and mewing at me to feed them!

Having shed half a stone (that's 7 pounds to you US peeps...and I don't have half a stone to lose, so I am going to be on a power chewing craze for the rest of the week) and returned with every item of clothing I brought with me covered with cat hair...for a person who wears mostly black or dark blue, white cats are a sworn enemy...I have returned!

Routine questions out of the way: was staying with friends...no, it wasn't all that bad...yes, I'm tired as hell...and yes, badly need a hot bath to work out all the knots in my muscles after spending seven or so hours on the road to get home.

I do regret I stayed away for a little longer than I had intended...and so missed my chance to post my reply to our winning of the Most Pointless thread award (which, let's face it, we all knew we were going to be unjustly landed with). And so...here it is anyway, as my "return bwahahaha"!...everyone needs to return with a bwahaha!



Well…thanks for voting for the wrestling thread people. I can’t tell you how warm and fuzzy it makes me to see the population of this forum, common member and administration alike, reducing something that is loved by millions of people across the world to “most pointless thread”, and then hand us a tacky award for it. But thanks all the same.

For receiving this award, I’d like to thank Celti…who told us the forum had no room for an e-fed, yet has made no objection whatsoever to a proposal to host a D&D rpg on the board.

I’d like to thank all the people who’ve come to our thread along the way, to tell us our sport was “fake”, insulting our intelligence (and quite clearly displaying their own…or lack thereof) by seeming to think they were sharing some divine revelation to which we were not privy, and trying to make fun of us for being as passionate about it as we are.

I’d like to thank all the people who’ve started the most trivial, ridiculous, or downright stupid threads that have ever been, and apologise to them for missing out on this prestigious award, simply because a group of people had such a lack of respect that they’d dare consider the great tradition that is professional wrestling as “pointless”.

That they’d show such disrespect to the men and women who give up their health to entertain millions of people across the world. I’m sorry that they’d show such disrespect to men and women who were so passionate about this sport that they end up in wheelchairs…or early retirement…or early coffins.

So, for all that, I’m sorry we got this reward instead of you, because I honestly don’t think we deserve it. However, that being so, I’ll gladly accept it, as I need a new toilet brush.

I would however, really like to thank the people who participate in the wrestling thread now, and from its very start…I would like to thank those of you who have remained passionate and true to the sport, and have ploughed through all this small minded, arrogant, elitist bigotry that’s been hurled at us, even in the guise of this ridiculous award, from people who then retreat to their discussions about dungeons and dragons, anime, or gardening, that nobody has bled for, nobody has suffered for, and nobody has died for, and that are a great deal less “real” than what people are putting their bodies through on a nightly basis inside a wrestling ring!

I would like to thank the thousands of men and women across the world, who step into the ring for the love of the sport, and hope not only that you all continue to entertain and engross us, but also that I might one day number among you. Each and every one of you works harder in one night than everyone who slapped a vote on this thread will in their entire lives, and for that there aren’t any words that could possible express the gratitude of the few people with enough respect to see it.

As wrestlers and wrestling fans alike, we’ve grown one hell of a thick skin against the stigma this award represents. To many of you, I likely represents a chuckle at our expense and, for the more petty among you (and I’m quite sure the people I mean by that know exactly who they are wink2.gif) perhaps a slight twinge of satisfaction as you see something you neither know anything about nor have bothered to try, be insulted. To us, however, it’s just another stone in the shoe of a very long journey we’ve been on since we became fans of the sport, and just like every other stone that’s gotten in our way, you can mock us, degrade us, insult everything that the sport and its fans stand for…

….but we’ll still leave you behind, as we move on. And don’t ever think you were more than a tiny prick to the foot.

*takes the award, raises it briefly overhead, and steps down*




Now that that's out of the way...

You'll have to forgive me if I'm a little out of the loop. I haven't had access to either the internet, or any channel showing wrestling for three weeks. I may take a while to get back to my usual hoss blasting, talent loving, tongue flaying self.

I have a feeling that Lita's baby is Kane's. They never really answered what the question was and once Lita answered yes, it really wasn't talked about so many Kane asked her for sex and got it and now Lita's pregnant.

Details On Jeff Hardy's Return To TNA Last Night
Jeff Hardy returned to the wrestling scene last night taking on AJ Styles on the NWA-TNA 2nd Anniversary show.

Hardy really showed no signs of ring rust and looked good from start to finish. At the beginning of the match, the crowd chanted ""Hardy, Hardy, Hardy" followed by "AJ, AJ, AJ" for AJ Styles. This was a totally different reaction than the one he received from the ROH fans serveral months ago. TNA built up his appearance with three small video packages with cryptic rhymes.

As it stands right now, highlights of his match will air on Impact! this Friday and it's very possible he'll be on the show itself. We'll keep you posted.

Ah Jeff Hardy, I remember him well...

I wonder if he's bothering to work now...during his run in the WWE, as soon as he didn't have Matt to look out for him anymore he just stopped caring. I can't say I thought he was that talented to begin with (certainly not in the same league as his brother), but his singles run was just dire.

Compairing him to AJ Styles is, certainly, ridiculous...but he does seem the kind of guy that TNA fans would mark out for. My experience with TNA fans (the kind of guys who chant "Raven is god!", and still think that D'Lo Brown can be a really big player) have shown me that they seem to cheer anything that the WWE rejected, whether it's good or not.

Still, it is good to see Jeff isn't a floundering junky anymore (at least not that we know of). It'll be interesting to see how long it takes before the TNA booking team (who aren't that much better than the WWE team), turn him back into "the guy who jumps of ladders".
