    Would Vivid Entertainment be the porn equivalent of WWE in that they are the leaders in their industry?

    There's probably a parallel universe somewhere where guys watch a live 2 hour porn show every Monday night and then go onto an Internet forum to give out about the quality of the roster and the booking of the show, but then praise the 3 hour PPV's one Sunday a month where the talent are given more time to perform.

    They tour America where the local jobber men/women are pinned in 3 minutes by the experienced men/women on the roster.

    Although the kayfabe terms 'ScrewJob', 'Curtain Jerker', and 'Shoot', mean completely different things, and The Ringmaster would have been remembered as a great name.

    Piledrivers are still banned.

    Sin Cara wrestled his first WWE match of 2012 at a WWE Supershow Saturday night in Florence, South Carolina. Cara suffered a knee injury near the end of 2011 and has been out of action since.

    Cara defeated Hunico in the opening match of the house show and is advertised for WWE’s tour of Mexico next week.

    This likely means we’ll see Sin Cara back on TV sooner than later.

    Del Rio would kick the tripe out of Sin Cara.. I saw him fight a few years back in MMA. Very good upper body wrestling.
    Although the poor bastard had to suffer the cemetary kick (about 4:17) :pac:

    He was a glorified 205lb'r when he fought Crocop, he didn't have a chance. He lost before he even begun.

    Weight or no weight Cro Cop would of kicked his face in cause Cro Cop was world class (at that time) and Del Rio clearly wasn't.

    Since WrestleMania 28, morale has reportedly been declining within WWE. WrestleMania 28 was considered a blockbuster show that delivered, and they that was followed up with the big return of Brock Lesnar.

    But now the general feeling is that things are already “back to normal” and the company has no direction with their storylines.

    In the latest edition of the WWE Magazine, “The Informer” character teases that there will be a musical performance at this year’s Summerslam show. Here is what was posted…

    This musical act is currently in negotiations to perform at this year’s Summerslam. Want a hint? He was a former American Idol runner-up.”

    Some of the more popular American Idol runner-ups are Clay Aiken, Bo Bice, Blake Lewis, David Archuleta, and Adam Lambert. Also, former contestant James Durbin started working with WWE for the B.A. STAR campaign this year. He placed fourth in the competition.
    Earlier this week, it was reported that WWE was considering taking the WWE Title off of CM Punk. This was not a sign that WWE is down on him and Punk is expected to be on the top of the card for months to come.

    At this time, the plan is for Punk to feud with Daniel Bryan at least through No Way Out next month.

    Word is that after the Daniel Bryan feud finishes, Punk will move onto a feud with former IC Champion Cody Rhodes.

    Those newzsite versions of the Wrestling Observer "stories" hurt my head.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,096 ✭✭✭✭the groutch


    sounds like Punk's gonna take Cena's place as the titleless main eventer. seriously devalues the WWE Title if it's never gonna be defended in the PPV's Main Event


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,855 ✭✭✭Charlie Haughy


    The only way they will bring back the value and credibility to the WWE title is to scrap the WHC and bring back the Undisputed title, including the original looking belt.

    I thought Punk/Bryan feud would last until Summerslam, I would love to see a Punk/Christian feud or even Ziggler back in the WWE title picture, btw did Ziggler do something wrong his push seems to be over?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,900 ✭✭✭Eire-Dearg


    A Ziggler/Punk feud would be great. I'd put Vicki with someone else and push them as a heel, I don't like Ziggler and Swagger together - they should both be pushed as single competitors. But saying that, even though I really like Swagger, I think he'd sink rather than swim on his own.

    Was wondering to whether to post this as he isnt a big name in the US or here but the story is rather interesting NOSAWA, a long time wrestler in Mexico and Japan is SOOOOOOOOOOO screwed:

    http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20120524-00000605-san-soci
    Well, time to cross out Black Tiger from this year's BOSJ. NOSAWA's been arrested at Narita Airport for allegedly smuggling drugs. On a return from Mexico he brought along a portrait that contained 75 grams of marijuana (street price 450,000 yen) hidden inside and was caught going through Narita Airport. NOSAWA denies knowing there were drugs inside the painting and says the portrait was a gift he received from Mexican fans.

    Io Shirai was with him at the time and was also arrested as a suspect.

    Just debuted in New Japan under a new gimmick as the next "Black Tiger".

    Here they are posing with said paintings:

    For those who dont know Marijuana is viewed culturally as worse than Heroin in Japan.

    Nicki Minaj, a young one going to her first disco or ladyboy?
    Current FCW Divas Champion Raquel Diaz (Shaul Guerrero) debuted a new look at last night’s FCW TV tapings, one that may have been previously discussed for Layla on WWE’s main roster. There were rumors over a year ago of WWE doing a character similar to pop star Lady Gaga with Layla. Diaz debuted a new blonde look with new make-up at last night’s tapings and a group of friends in attendance noted that it reminded them of Gaga.

    See, wrestling is a classless industry. Unless you throw a lot of money into her attire and present her as a superstar, this "Gaga" getup will just make her look like a whore. And she doesn't look like a superstar here.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,469 ✭✭✭✭GTR63


    That looks makes her look more like a extra from The Commitments than lady gaga i'm afraid.
    Why give her a new look her surname should be enough to get her over as a heel or face.

    Dave Meltzer had a funny story in the Observer that gives an insight into the mind of Vince McMahon. The National a weekly all sports newspaper that it was very well respected for its writing but it went out of business fairly quickly:
    Frank Deford, generally regarded as one of the best sportswriters who ever lived, and who was a personal mentor of mine some 22 years back when I worked at The National, released a new autobiography this month called “Over Time: My Life as a Sportswriter.” In the book, he spoke about Rodney Dangerfield, who he did a series of TV commercials with, and talked about what a jerk he was. Then he said that of all the people he had come across in his life, Dangerfield was only No. 2 on the list, saying No. 1 was Vince McMahon. This one relates directly to me and I am mentioned in the story briefly. It actually had to do with a story at a birthday party for John Fillipelli in 1991, a close personal friend of Deford who at the time was one of the top executives in WWF. Deford and his wife were at the party, as was Vince and a lot of WWF execs. At the time, Vince was mad at Deford because Deford made the call to hire me, ironically based on the recommendation of one of McMahon’s best friends, Dick Ebersol, as well as the sports editor at the time of the Los Angles Times, John Cherwa. At the party, everyone decided to go bowling. At the bowling alley, apparently there was someone bowling that night named Dick, and Patterson and Vince kept making jokes about penises whenever he’d bowl, which apparently had the Fillipelli family rolling their eyes because these were all upper class types there. Then McMahon and Pat Patterson stole one shoe from Deford as well as his wife while they had their bowling shoes on. Keep in mind these aren’t 20 year olds. Vince at this point is 45 or 46, Patterson is 50, Deford was 52. So when they’re done bowling, the Defords can’t find their shoes and McMahon and Patterson are laughing. So they figure okay, joke, where’s the shoe. But McMahon and Patterson never gave up the shoes and they actually had to leave the party with one shoe each. It’s one thing to do it to a guy, but then doing it to his wife? But what Deford actually was madder about is that after the death of Chris Benoit, Deford wrote a piece, based on an article I wrote at the time, about deaths in pro wrestling. Since it came from Deford, when McMahon testified before Henry Waxman’s committee, and they brought up the article, McMahon claimed that Deford held a grudge against him because he and his wife had their shoes stolen at a party. The idea that he wrote an article about dozens of dead wrestlers, and Vince’s explanation of the article is that he stole the guys shoes 16 years earlier and he was holding a grudge.

    Here's Vince talking about it when giving testimony to the US government!

    McDevitt is Vince's Lawyer the rest are investigators.
    Mr. Cohen: What about -- some of his work received coverage in a number of other more mainstream outlets, for example, Sports Illustrated. I believe Frank Deford did a story on the Meltzer numbers. Are you famliar with this?

    Vince McMahon: Look, I've borrowed one of Frank Deford's shoes on night. He doesn't like me.

    Mr. Cohen: Are you familiar with his story?

    Vince McMahon: No. Other than Frank Deford wrote something derogatory. But, you know, he has no sense of humor and he doesn't like me. We were bowling one night and I borrowed one of his shoes and he never found it. And so he had to walk home in a bowling shoe and one of his others, and he was upset about that I understand.

    Mr. Leviss: I'm going to have to note that would be upsetting too.

    Mr. O'Neil: Now we know the rest of the story.

    Mr. McDevitt: You're hearing something for the first time, too. I never heard that one.

    Mr. McMahon: Well, actually I also borrowed one of his wife's shoes, too.

    Mr. McDevitt: That's a whole different story.

    Mr. McMahon: I left that part out.

    Mr. Leviss: I take it she was not your size.

    Did he not just debut a new shirt a month or two ago?

    That font and colour scheme is awful. Its barely legible and does not stand out or attract the eye.
