General WWE Discussion: Roman Weeps, Taker Retires, MNK/SAM/RDM LFP

[Melena]

Iron Sheik is being roasted tonight. Please, if there is a god, this will wind up on DVD.

[noblemountain]

They already had an Iron Sheik roast that went very badly. Someone made a really bad taste Owen Hart joke that prompted a really fucked up Scott Hall to interrupt the whole deal and eventually had to be escorted out.

[Tyrath]

I lol'd

[Exoduso]

HA, that was actually pretty funny. Kudos to John for being a good sport about it.

[Anoat]

That reminds me I bet Wrestling with Rosenberg is gonna be crazy good in the next few weeks. With WM in NY/NJ I bet he is snagging a ton of interviews.

[Tyrath]

Alright since WM is this weekend, just for the fun of it I'm gonna go ahead and post my match predictions. Feel free to add yours. Looking like a mostly predictable card this year.

John Cena vs The Rock
Winner: Cena

CM Punk vs Undertaker
Winner: Undertaker

Triple H vs Brock Lesnar

Alberto del Rio vs Jack Swagger
Winner: Dolph Ziggler I don't know who wins, but I'm calling a cash in finally.

The Shield vs Celtic RKO Show
Winner: The Shied

Ryback vs Mark Henry
Winner: Ryback

Chris Jericho vs Fandango
Winner: Fandango

Team Hell No vs Ziggy and Big E
Winner: Team Hell No I wanted to pick Ziggy and Big E but the way they dominated the champs, I feel like they won't win at WM. Might soon after.

Yup, Cena vs Ryback incoming

Y2J wins and it'll be a great match.

Barret Barrage now and forever.

My exact thoughts as well. I want Brock to win and sort of hope Ryberg botches. I also hope Swagger gets a little bit of run with the title, but I know it's not going to happen

[Mjd]

Well the whole "You retire if you lose" angle is kind of well dumb. He's at Rock status but has a bigger roll in the operation of things.

[Clemz]

Agree with most of the predictions, not so much with some of the commentary about them.

Doubt very seriously we'll (ever) see a Cena heel turn, he means too much to the younger crowd which is the vast majority of their audience. Personally, don't think he really needs a turn anyway, they can freshen up his character without turning him if they really wanted but I don't think he needs it. Not that I don't think he's stale, but we're a much smaller portion of the audience than those that still love him. Definitely see Ziggler cashing in on whoever wins the WHC match, which I think is going to be Del Rio, though it ultimately doesn't matter. Also think Fandango is going over Jericho. Rumor has it that they're adding Kaitlyn and AJ Lee to the Tag titles match and putting the Divas title on the line too. So guessing we'll see AJ with that title. I do think something is going to break down between Orton/Sheamus/Show, but I don't think we'll be seeing Orton join the Shield either. Agree with the rest of it though.

[Kang]

I'm a little late to the Moody comment but I found it funny that he said he woke up in time to watch the end of Raw for the segment. This implies that Raw is so boring it induces coma-level sleep.

[Kalmado]

Also, anyone with the feed, PM please!

[Degenxerate]

My prediction on the Punk/Taker match is that Punk actually wins but after the match Taker will still end up doing something to him like burying him alive or somehow taking him out of action for a while. The reason I think that is because on Raw Taker even said himself he "might not win but even if he doesn't Punk will never live to talk about it". I've also heard that Punk is taking some time off after WM so that would be a decent story line to put him out for a while.

Thats just me prediction though. I'm sure its wrong and a ton of people will disagree with it but who knows?!

Punk has to have surgery after, so he'll definitely be put out during/after the match. I can't see them ending the streak, but who knows what they'll do really...the writing hasn't been great in a long time.

[NynJa]

Punk does NOT need that to solidify his character. Theres no reason for him to have "ended the streak" on his resume.


and I completely forgot about smackdown, was watching hockey

[Yugl]

Wasn't much anyways. Typical fights to showcase individuals and review of every feud at WM with clips.

[noblemountain]

Urn Anderson....




Rest in beats. (by dre)



I love Punk. lol

[Kang]

Jay Briscoe won the ROH world title at the ippv last night. I like Jay but I was looking forward to seeing Steen vs. Adam Cole for the title at Border Wars next month.

[Exoduso]

Rock retains only to push Cena's "heel" persona out even more (and have him win it shortly thereafter, Extreme Rules maybe).
Punk beats the streak.
Ziggy isn't cashing in, but he'll win the tag titles.
Everything else is pretty obvious.
