Shame though - if WWE had a varied approach to wrestling they could offer so much more entertainment IMO, i.e. they're so tunnel-visioned, such as watching CM Punk 5 years ago and the vets deciding that (due to his unique style) he "didn't know how to work".

There's so much more to wrestling then just their way.

Great news about Regal v Bryan, will have to check that out if possible.

Love both guys' work.

Yeah, if you don't work to the WWE style you don't know how to work. Regardless of what you've done in the past, you don't know how to work.

The thing with the writers and everything is just stupid. TBH, if they'd had this attitude of everything scripted, everyone looks like the same then guys like Mick Foley and Shawn Michaels wouldn't have gotten their push and the whole "release because we've nothing for you" would have meant that Austin 3:16 would never have happened as Austin would have been released once Ted DiBiase left for WCW

Cena hurt at a house show.
Mason Ryan is possibly going to be the new Batista.
Awesome Kong possibly to WWE

Kong won't make it in WWE, they don't want girls who can work, they want girls who look good in bikinis, which Kong doesn't!

Cena apparently has a 'Hip Pointer' according to Jim Ross twitter page and shouldn't miss too much time. Although I could do without his inane promos every Monday night.

New Batista? You mean he's going to get called up, do nothing, be on the verge of release, start working out with Triple H and be a Main Eventer until he realises he cba with the workload no more?

Feel like a suck-up agreeing with everything you say all the time mate (

) but you're right with all that.



Like you say Kong doesn't fit the WWE Mould, she can out-work every female on the roster (except Gail Kim - I'd say they're equally brilliant), but Kong's achievements have all been away from WWE. Therefore in Vince's world she's never done anything in the business!



Exactly mate, instead of trying to create the new Batista, how about they try developing the new Shawn Michaels, or someone like that who had ability and charisma, not a limited jacked-up cookie-cutter-look guy who didn't get into the business till his 30's.

This isn't actually a dig at Batista because his did fantastic with what he had, but IMO he's not someone to inspire new wrestlers, guys like Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels are - people who could do pretty much everything.

The worst thing now in wrestling is there's really nowhere for people to learn their craft (compared to many years ago). So instead of having a guy debut in WWE who's had 10 years experience already (like Daniel Bryan) we're seeing more guys who are green but have 'the look'.

Well look at Sheamus, isn't he a 2 time champion and has only been on the Main Roster for 18 months? Same with Wade Barrett, he's had 2 main event PPVs and was thrown into a feud with John Cena on his very first night on the main roster. Sadly there is not a lot of scope for talent to hone their craft. TNA is a joke and a career killer. Only Ron Killings has actually made it from TNA to WWE and even he was a WWE star before TNA!

The independent promotions need to get together and form a new NWA type organisation with a World Champion with thriving markets all over the country. Even this may not work as anything that is not WWE is seen as 'bush league' and 'unproffesional'.

Would beg to differ.



Jeff's first spell in TNA didn't harm him either.

But even Punk took awhile to get over in WWE as he had the dreaded "doesn't know how to work" stigma over him.

Loving the new leader of Nexus

You can't have creed as he hasn't even made it to the full roster yet! Otherwise you could add guys like Chris Harris to that list. I had actually forgotten about Punk's stint in TNA!

Be innteresting to see what they do with Barrett now. Possible feud with Punk??

It's rumoured that they want to turn Barrett face? Not sure how that would work, maybe he backs up Cena after being "backstabbed" by Punk? Team him up with biggest face would probably ultimately get him over easily as a face.

It would kill any credibilty Barrett has for him to stay in Nexus with Punk as the leader.

Over to Smackdown to work as a Heel over there, building to a feud with Undertaker at 'Mania. There is talk of him being a babyface, but with all the heat he's gathered just recently off his feud with Cena, it would be silly to turn him face just yet.

Hate to seem negative all the time lately, but have just realised that there really isn't (IMO) any potential matches featuring guys currently on the roster that I would pay to see for the Wrestlemania PPV.



I.e. they've usually been able to build at least one can't-miss match ( HBK v Taker at 2009 & 2010, Flair v HBK 08, Cena v HBK 07, HBK v McMahon 06, etc) but this year I just can't think of one that would really draw my interest. Anyone else feeling the same?



Guess it's to be expected considering they've lost guys like Batista and HBK over the last year, but unfortunately I can see it been this way for 2 or 3 years with Mania - I will watch it out of habit, but I can't see there been that feeling like years ago when you're really looking forward to it and have a strong interest in how the matches go.

First contender for the Botch of the Year award, Vladimir Kozlov take a bow.

What happened?

I'm sure Maffew on that popular video sharing channel will (hopefully) have it covered soon.

Apparently falling over the top rope can be so difficult you need to try it 3 times, before being thrown over instead.

its a bit daft though to pull the top rope down when someones ducking their head to run into your chest.

That said, his attempt to cover it was funny.

To be honest Raw was better than it's been in months, and that was down to the matches being given some air time rather then 3 minute promos.

Miz & morrison would have graced any PPV.

Barrett is off to SD. Which makes sense as SD needs someone in the top heel role given Edge has gone face and the only other main event guy over there is Kane

Smackdown spoiler:

=whiteDolph Ziggler is the new #1 Contender for Edge's title


2 young guys against 2 vets in the Championship matches at the RR, should be interesting to watch.

It was good, but you never had the feeling that Morrison was going to win, especially with it being on RAW and even though we know its scripted there has to be that little doubt in the mind. Seemed that "creative" kind of lost their way maybe or they did'nt see a Miz/Morrison PPV as a good buy rate sell?

Don't see there being any way of him beating the champion. Though the storyline with his ex wife should play out well. I did that without revealing too much for those who don't read spoilers

Should be a good much anyway.

Become a bit predictable for the Rumble to have 'filler' title matches. Like Kennedy v Batista a few years back. Not sure what's going to happen on Raw, but there is no way that Edge will lose his strap.

Well, rumour is HHH is coming back at the Rumble, so expect Miz to hold his title til Mania then get squashed so old trip get's the belt back.

HHH, The Rock and WWE are all being sued by some guy who says he was injured at Judgement Day in 2000 when the two brawled in the crowd. Harris Berman, the fan’s attorney, said that because the fan was only 7 years old (a minor) at the time of the incident, the lawsuit is not prohibited by the statute of limitations.

Personally, I'm going to go check a certain video sharing website to see if anything is shown.
