    How stupid is it having a face kick defenceless people on the ground, in the head!

    Also everytime he does it, it looks less and less "lethal".

    And I'm sorry, its just a head kick, its a bit hard to sell it as a kick that requires a stretcher....

    And?

    They sell it for months.
    Booker t and Diesel got the benefit of a good ppv crowd if that had of been a normal raw weekly crowd it would of been average enough.

    The Rock is known by everyone no matter what kinda crowd you have.

    JR did not get a good pop with his entrance tonight if you consider the fact how long has it been since we seen him on raw??

    After all the class moments and what hes given the wwe over the years he would of gotten a much much better reaction with a better crowd.

    Austin same example as The Rock.

    But can you imagine the pop rock and austin would of got if say they had of came back to an older crowd.

    So everyone else is the exception and Brian Lawler is the rule?

    Dream on, mate

    that was the worst punt to the head so far. J.R. got a pretty good pop

    As everything that has been learnt about concussions/head injuries the past few years is twoddle, right?

    Total ignorance here.

    I hated the face off with them kinda on all fours.Like Edge vs Del Rio that rivalry isn't doing much for me either. Still can't stop at Ross calling his own beatdown fuçking gas.

    Orton very over that match but it is his hometown....

    Daniel Bryan kicks Sheamus square in the face. Sheamus kicks out.

    Randy Orton kicks ANYBODY else in the face, out for weeks/months and removed on a stretcher.

    ......

    I hope they cut to bewildered faces after the Drew Carey clip.

    No.
    It's probably the most unbelievable thing going at the moment.
    "oh randy orton kicked so and so again.."
    Meh.

    Drew Carey?
    Awesome!
    But in the HOF?!
    surely this is a slap in the face of some wrestlers who haven't been put in yet?!

    Someone explain this to me.

    Seriously

    congratulations shawn michaels, you have contributed as much to wrestling as drew carey, who in turn has contributed more than randy savage

    No, but in a business where people regularly take high flying risks that could paralyze them for life, take dangerous bumps that could take their lives - and lets not forget Mitsuhara Misawa who died from a belly to belly suplex - the punt kick falls a long way short of being believable enough to keep people out for months. Its about as believable as Hogan's leg drop, the Rock's elbow or Cena's fist drop.

    Shall we put Bruce Forcyth in the HOF too?

    ......

    The punt is over as hell, so yeah the majority of the fanbase buy it.

    Its the same with the 619, the internet hate it but the majority are fine with it.

    I dont even know what your meant to mean by this to be totally honest.

    I know your a fan of the current product the wwe has out there right now.

    Im not the biggest fan of it im ok with it but it bothers me when they bring back people who not that long ago where getting big reactions from the crowd and now get almost silence cause most of the crowd wouldnt know wrestling before John Cena.

    How can u not notice this??

    Brian Lawler was a novelty act, hardly a historical figure. I dont know why you are moaning.

    Yeah cos all wrestling moves are legit :rolleyes:

    Wrestlings not real kiddo ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,128 ✭✭✭drayme


    I don't get it.

    I dont get your lack of understanding of head injuries in sports in 2011.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 894 ✭✭✭cian68


    I fully expect miz and del rio to team up in the next couple weeks to take on the best friends john cena and edge


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Makes HHH's comments about Goldberg not being worthy of the HoF look pretty laughable. They have made the HoF into a joke and a way to garner publicity rather than a genuine attempt to honour past greats. Shame.

    I have no issues with the 619 if its combined with a hurricanrana, but this whole idea of a splash follow up is stupid. The smallest WWE superstar falling on you is supposed to be a finishing move? Riiiight.

    Prove it. :pac:

    Just because he does it doesn't mean its "over as hell".
