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

[Melena]

I like Rose as a wrestler, but god damn his gimmick sucks. Between him and Fandango, it's almost embarrassing.

[Melena]

Just read also that Kevin Nash and his son got arrested late last night/early this morning.

[arus2001]

*googles* Sounds like his kid came home drunk (he's 18) and started pulling shit with Nash being all hell no about it.

[Vagrant]

So for those in the NY/NJ/CT area the indy promotion Pro Wrestling Syndicate has signed a tv deal with CBS affiliate WLNY to air a weekly show from 4:30AM to 5:30AM starting Saturday January 3rd.

[Anoat]

R&R Express still wrestles?! Jesus.

[Vagrant]

Yeah seriously. Not sure which version of the Heavenly Bodies that is either as there been a couple of them and Jimmy Del Rey one of the WWF members of the team passed away a few weeks ago.

[Krandor]

Sabu will never die.

[Trigun]

I went to a few shows when they were Jersey All Pro Wrestling I think.
They're really good for an independent promotion.
Last time I went the New Age Outlaws were there.
Billy Gunn looked like Brock Lesnar compared to everyone else.

More on Adrian Neville's gimmick aka someone needs to be fired immediately

As we recently reported, WWE is planning to bring Adrian Neville to the main roster in the near future, and there has been talk of debuting Neville with a Mighty-Mouse-esque gimmick.

According to The Wrestling Observer, suggestions were made this week which included putting Neville in a mask and having him work a gimmick aimed at kids based on the legendary Mighty Mouse character.

This plan is reportedly not set in stone, however at this time Adrian Neville is the next in line to be brought to the main WWE roster after The Ascension makes its main roster debut.

[Kalmado]

If that happens, people will boo him when he comes out I'd be willing to bet. It's my opinion they are really booing creative.

My buddy and I watched a Slamboree (where Hall turns on Nash to give Sting/Giant titles). He said we should just stick to watching the oldies until WWE creative gets it together. It's really too bad no one can challenge WWE for viewership. This is where competition is a good thing.

[Tomiko]

Between the proposed Neville gimmick and what they're doing with the Ascension, can we just fire the entire creative team? I have to think whoever they replace them with can't be much worse.

[Vagrant]

At least what they're doing with the Ascension I can somewhat understand even if I don't care for it personally. They're trying to capture that old Road Warriors and Demolition tag team spark again. This Neville crap just doesn't make any damn sense.

[Krandor]

The Ascension stuff is fine because honestly their gimmick in NXT is basically non existent. They're keeping the music which is honestly the best thing about them.

[Trigun]

As far as the network. When my cousin comes over he catches up on the new weekly series, then we watch a WCW PPV after.
There has not been one time we watched and did not crack up laughing at something.

One PPV Bobby Heenan got interrupted while talking and said "Aw ya cut me off... Loraina Bobbitt."

edit:
On the Ascension, that has to be one of the longest most painful gimmicks to make it's way out of developmental.
In Ricardo's shoot interview it was part of his idea and it started as a five person stable.
As most recently one of the two guys got replaced after getting in trouble for DUI, he's Bram in TNA, and married to Charlotte.

[Vagrant]

Bram and Connor were great as the team complete with the almost supernatural feel they had going when they came out to the ring. No idea why they stopped that aspect of it when they brought Viktor in to replace Bram and just made them a generic power team. If only Bram didn't try kicking the crap out of that cop in Florida.

[Tomiko]

Punk's training camp has been revealed:

No idea how good they are.

[AidenCarby]

Good camp, probably not best for him though. He'll definitely get good at wrestling since Ben Askren trains there, his striking will also be decent. Should outsource his bjj to 10th planet tho

[Krandor]

Punk potentially training with Askren is amusing to me considering what he's said about Punk.

About the WCW ppv stuff, I crack up just listening to Dusty Rhodes going on rants or saying the exact same thing twice in the same sentence. Tony Schiavone, Brain, and even "Iron Mike" Tenay were entertaining.

[Xno Kappa]

Punk's training camp has been revealed:

No idea how good they are.

Terrible camp for him in my opinion. Someone is going to beat his ass for free in order to make a name for himself. Probably only chose it due to being the closest to Chicago.
