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

[Melena]

Sad thing is, I think it was caused by Del Rio's kick to the back of the head, and if I remember correctly, that's how Ziggler got concussed.

[Anoat]

Nah, Ziggler got concussed by a Jack Swagger kick. And Cody Rhodes got concussed a while back by going too high on a BAAAAAAACK body drop from Kane. It happens.

If there is no "something happen to dis gold, something going to happen to you man" moment, or a "ME-ME-ME-YEAH!!" move, or if he doesn't start his speech with "Hey yo.", I will be severely disappointed in Razor Ramon's HOF induction.

[Xno Kappa]

Anyone else find it weird Scott Hall's induction into the HOF was exclusively Razor Ramon? Like they never even mentioned his real name.

Rumor has it due to possibly the NWO being inducted in the next year, and when he went to WCW he dropped the Razor name and went by scott hall after that. Makes sense in an odd way, much like how Flair is in for both his singles work and from the 4 horsemen.

[noblemountain]

Yeah, expect Nash, Hall, and Hogan to go in as the nWo in the near future. Next year would be a good time to do nWo and DX.

[Vagrant]

Really surprised they didn't do nWo this year especially with Hogan just coming back

[Tyrath]

NWO won't go in next year if they go through with the Rock. Both would be headlining their year.

[Kang]

Looks like RVD is gonna be back for another run. Might be a surprise for the battle royal.

[Lyall]

My two guesses for surprise returns in the Andre battle were RVD and Jericho. It's gotten to the point where whenever Jericho is openly vocal about not coming back any time soon, I just assume he's going to show up.

[NynJa]

Fozzy doesnt seem to be on any tour until late April as well

[Exoduso]

Jericho has been flooding his facebook page lately with pictures of himself in the WWE, wouldn't surprise me.

[Xno Kappa]

Jericho always struck me as a company man, even with his absence to tour with Fozzy. The guy is arguably the most common personality seen on offshoot WWE programs.

[Xno Kappa]

Anyone see Beyond the Ring: Triple H on the WWE Network? Completely changed my perception of the guy, he genuinely seems like a really nice dude. Everyone pretty much described him as a polite and very approachable individual. He was considered like a big brother to the younger talent and extremely respectful to the older. The guy pretty much lifted Ric Flair out of the gutter. I also had no idea he didn't drink or smoke and was brought into The Kliq by Nash to be a permanent DD lol.

I didn't watch that, but Thy Kingdom Come had similar stories. He does seem like an ok guy.

Yeah watched it as well. Sadly I'm old enough to remember the Terra Rizing days as well as his other persona's lol

[noblemountain]

It was a great bio. He is a good dude from everyone I have ever talked to in the business. He gets a bad rap because fans blame him for the product even though he hasn't really had much say up 'till recently when Vince's health started to decline.

[Anoat]

I think WWE will be better when HHH takes over from Vince, actually. Vince seems to think WWE is an entertainment company (akin to Disney) that happens to also have wrestling. HHH understands that wrestling comes first. Supposedly NXT and the WWE Network are both his beloved projects.

This is something that has always bothered me especially when the announcers go on about it. The product(wrestling) should come first. Sometimes it feels like all of the merchandise, events(make a wish, school visits, etc), and other items are the first priority while the wrestling is second. I wish they would quit calling them entertainers and call them wrestlers, competitors, athletes, something. Not all of those guys want to be a joke like Santino and I bet deep down it infuriates guys.

For whatever reason last night I was thinking about Batista's return and his role in the main event at 30. I then thought about the Austin video they had on the network last weekend and how Austin said, "People do not understand the importance of the championship." I envisioned Batista carrying around the belt(s) to Hollywood things and in my opinion this would turn the belt into nothing more than a prop. Yes it's similar to Rock and no it's not as bad as the David Arquette incident, but Batista isn't the one to be handed that honor/responsibility. I'd rather see Orton retain. I really thought Batista would be great to return too.

Side note, Chuck Palumbo(sp?) has a reality show about restoring cars. Watched it yesterday and was mildly entertained. Always felt bad for him and Rockabilly when they had to do that awful program.

[NynJa]

WWE Logic:
Daniel Bryan can not be Champion because he is too small to be WWE champion, and him being champion would be bad for business as it would hurt the legacy of the Title and its legitimacy.

Wants to give Batista the belt to use as a marketing prop.

[Lyall]

Found out last night I'm going to RAW with the roomies tonight. Pretty amped to see Taker live (And I'd better!) for once. Best I've got prior to this was the teaser bell toll at whichever Royal Rumble was hosted in Philadelphia a decade ago.
