Yes that looked odd on the show. They pulled off a good audible ending. WWE need to give Henry some time off so he can be at Mania, he really deserves a mania match this year.

while I would agree, I hope its not in the world title picture.

From a human/empathy showing point of view, i feel terrible for him. He's put in some great work this year.

HOWEVER

from a cynical/only caring about the show perspective, hopefully he does get badly injured, forcing them to go with Bryan v Orton

Or he could just not have a title match instead of wishing injury upon him?

Rock vs Cena - Roughly 30 minutes
Triple H vs The Undertaker - 30 minutes (when you include the Undertaker's super slow entrance)
Money in the Bank - 30 minutes
Punk vs Jericho (presumably) - 20 minutes

Throwing in backstage promos and vignettes for those likely matches, whatever Divas thing they've going on and hilarious comedy, I doubt there's time for Orton and Danielson to knock it out of the park.

gnfnrhead · 28-01-2012 3:51am

I pray that Rock vs Cena doesn't go that long. Rock will in all likely hood be carrying a fair amount of ring rust and I don't think Cena is good enough to be able to carry a match for that long.

Wrestle mania is usually closer to four hours too. You've used about half that time.

Am I the only one that thought that Rock seemed to have no ring rust at Survivor Series?

Granted he wasn't in the match long but he looked like he had never been away.

Cena-Miz wasnt this non-stop frenetic contest it had a lot of rest spots. Yes it sucked but bar year on year has been set low now.

Yup and his reflexes where not those of someone of his age.

Not sure if its been discussed already but Otunga is apparently doing pro-bono lawyering on the side

http://m.tmz.com/sports_head.ftl?id=http://www.tmz.com/2012/01/27/wwe-david-otunga-wrestler-lawyer/

Guess it helps sell his character and keeps him fresh in case hes ever future endeavoured

You can ad in Foley vs The Miz - 20 minutes and Big Show vs Shaq - 20 minutes, after all it will be a 4 hour show as usual.

Hulk Hogan appeared on last night's episode of American Dad. I thought it was an impressionist at first, but he's listed in the credits. Didnt think that would be his type of show.

He's been on Robot Chicken before. Wasn't even playing himself, he was playing Abraham Lincoln with a lightsabre.

But anyway, Hogan Knows Best, Micro Championship Wrestling, Loose Women.... I'd say that any show that pays money is his type of show

Kurt Angle goes head-to-head with Mark Lawrenson in predicting this week's Premiership fixtures -

BBC Sport football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest pundit each week this season.

His opponent for the latest round of Premier League matches is TNA pro wrestler Kurt Angle.

Angle, the 1996 Olympic champion and a former WWE star, sees Manchester duo City and United as an unstoppable tag team on Tuesday night when they take on Everton and Stoke, and is also predicting an easy submission for Tottenham against struggling Wigan.

Tottenham v Wigan -

Kurt Angle says: "Ummm, this is a bit taxing. But I'm looking at the league table so it's going to be a win for Spurs."
Lawro's prediction: 2-0

Wolves v Liverpool -

Kurt Angle says: "When Bully Ray showed the Steven Gerrard top in Manchester the crowd went crazy so I guess he must be a pretty good player. Gerrard will score the winner."
Lawro's prediction: 1-1

Everton v Man City (2000 GMT) -

Kurt Angle says: "We had a great night in Manchester and are back in 2013 so I'm going to have to go for their teams for three-goal victories!"
Lawro's prediction: 0-2

Man Utd v Stoke (2000 GMT) -

Kurt Angle says: "See above!"
Lawro's prediction: 3-0

Bolton v Arsenal (2000 GMT) -

Kurt Angle says: "I've not heard of that many teams, but TNA's UK office always rave about Arsenal - so they must win. But why are they allowed to play an Ox?"
Lawro's prediction: 0-2

Sunderland v Norwich (2000 GMT) -

Kurt Angle says: "Not two teams I'm familiar with, but Norwich sound cool. I'll go for them."
Lawro's prediction: 2-1

May as way stick this here:

USA Today interviews Zack Ryder over how he used Social Media to get himself noticed by wwe.

Some excerpts:

Why the web show?

"I realized I wasn't going anywhere in the WWE, and if I was going to go out, I was going to go out swinging. I was saying some risky things about the company and why I wasn't on TV. I thought, this will either get me noticed and back on TV or get me fired. It was a risk I was willing to take. A year later, it saved my career. It's unbelievable."

Internet Champion of the World?
"It started as a joke. I wasn't on TV, I couldn't compete for a real championship, so I made a toy title belt. Eventually I paid $1,600 for a real leather belt, and now I'm the Internet Champion!"

Poor Heath will be lucky not to be on the future endeavored list post Mania.

How are guys like Johnny Curtis, Darren Young and Titus O'Neill doing these days? Do you see anyone making a move up to the main rosters in the near future?

Randomly watched an episode or two of NXT recently and there isnt much hope for any of them.

Johnny Curtis is in some weird love triangle with Derick Bateman and a diva who's name escapes me

Titus did a heel turn. Michael Cole was commentating and said something along the lines of "He has been on the show 40 weeks and he can't cut a promo" about Titus

Cole buried the whole NXT show actually :rolleyes:

I'd have more hope for FCW guys like Seth Rollins and Darren Ambrose making a breakthrough than anyone on NXT

I just hope Rollins and Ambrose don't get put on Nxt. But i'm not sure if NXT is even going to have another series. So they're proberly lucky.

They most likely wont be on NXT. One of HHH new initiatives calls for WWE Creative to have long term Storylines and Booking for all FCW talent called up to the Main Roster. So hopefully Rollins and Ambroise wont be the next Scotty Goldman.:pac:

Furious-Red · 03-02-2012 12:38pm

As we noted yesterday here on the website, WWE currently has plans to keep the Natalya farting storyline going.

This week’s WWE SmackDown is scheduled to feature a backstage segment with Natalya and WWE Divas Champion Beth Phoenix working out. During the segment, Natalya keeps farting while bending down and lifting weights. Santino Marella then walks in the room and proceeds to puke in a trash can.

You can’t make this sh*t up…. pun intended.

Maybe J.R. will finally show some backbone and refuse to participate in his now almost obligatory Oklahoma humiliation.

Furious-Red · 05-02-2012 2:50am

Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer

– Besides somewhere in the New York/New Jersey area, other cities that have been talked about for WrestleMania 29 in 2013 include New Orleans, Indianapolis, Toronto and St. Louis. As of right now, the plan is to hold the event in an outdoor stadium. That will obviously play a factor in the host city. We also reported several weeks ago that Triple H recently visited a New York Giants’ practice. The word coming out of the Giants organization was that Triple H was in town with WWE officials to finalize a deal to bring WrestleMania 29 (or possibly 30) to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. We’ll keep you posted as we hear more.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 05-02-2012 3:00am

I love the stadium locations and the massive crowds they draw to Manias but I hope they hold 30 at MSG.

Lol, the ship sailed many years ago on jr growing a backbone in wwe. He's happy to be jerked around on-camera. The guy doesn't need wwe or ther money. He gets no sympathy from me!

It's hilarious the disregard vince has for fans' feelings for jr and jr himself
