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

[Krandor]

So word is that Bryan being sent home is not because of any lingering issues with his injury, but because of Sheamus giving him a concussion from the Smackdown tapings the previous week (when he got busted open).

[Anoat]

If that is true, just, yikes. Sheamus is one stiff motherfucker. I guess a lot of the guys on the current roster are used to it, but I distinctly remember RVD potato'ing the fuck out of Sheamus at Money In The Bank a couple years ago in retaliation lol

[noblemountain]

Bryan has talked about how he LOVES wrestling stiff guys because he likes being stiff too. I have heard people backstage watching monitors say shit like, "If he were to hit me like that..." alllllll the time during Sheamus matches though. I was backstage at RAW last year when, I think it was Titus hit Sheamus with a clothesline from behind that was one of the stiffest shots I recall seeing lately. Mark Henry was watching it and YELLED at the monitor. When Titus came through the curtain Mark was in his face talking to him. Was really interesting to see, meanwhile Shaemus...who he hit...came back through with a giant smile on his face and hugged him. Called it a great spot. So, he does dish it out, but I know he can take it too.

Ziggler seem to be getting better on the mic, or is it just me?

Just you, he's still pretty terrible or they would've ran with him a long time ago.

[Xno Kappa]

Still pretty terrible I agree. He just at least seems to have more confidence lately to say anything.

After scoffing at the Fight Network's lack of wrestling programming the last couple years, they've added to it yet again. Not only do they now have Impact, but they will be showing House of Hardcore. HoH just announced they are coming to Toronto in July. Has anyone been to any of those shows? Wonder if it's worth going to.

[Melena]

I haven't gone, but reading feedback/reviews I hear they are pretty good shows, though it does have a lot of older wrestlers performing.

[Trigun]

Same I've heard nothing but good things. The talent thats available to cross borders is the only thing to worry about.

[Vagrant]

Apparently WWE has decided to ban the curb stomp from further use due to worries over the stress it might cause a persons head and neck.

[arus2001]

Not entirely surprised given they already used it as an angle to shelf Ambrose and Orton for a bit. Makes one wonder what new finisher Rollins will pick up instead.

[Krandor]

Apparently that story comes from Wrestlezone, I doubt there's any truth to it.

[Melena]

So now it's Naomi vs Nikki for the Diva's title at extreme rules and the Bellas are now going to be faces. I want to vomit.

[Krandor]

Give Divas a Chance

... as long as it's not Naomi, cause God is she awful.

[tyven]

krandor how come there are no wwe games on steam for me

[Krandor]

I would assume something about the general perceived intelligence level of a wrasslin fan vs people who know enough about computers to operate Steam.

Just get an emulator and play No Mercy or Here Comes the Pain.

[tyven]

omg are we about to get a night full of RKOs out of nowhere?

[Krandor]

Maybe it'll be like that Raw back in the day where every segment ended with Stone Cold coming out and giving everybody a Stunner.

[Krandor]

Kane is going ham

[Delirium]

I still bo-lieve
