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

[Vil]

Now? Maybe. But if only this could be resurrected.

[Xno Kappa]

The X motion when Jeff Hardy came out high as balls was pretty blatant. I know that's where I learned about it.

[Kang]

I always did like that Drew McIntyre song. That would be perfect for his TNA run.

[Vil]

Ok, speaking of Drew McIntyre, evidently he had a "6 month streak" (not sure if this includes house shows), but more importantly, I swear I could remember him linking up with the tag team champions before at least in a single match on RAW or SD, because I remember him and the champs posing at the corner, and it was like "please make this a heel stable!"

I want to say that it was Tyson Kidd and DH Smith, but no offense to David, I think it was someone more charismatic. Any ideas?

Also, real shame that Drew got shuffled off because of other issues. I like Barrett a lot, but everything he's done except for "Bad News", McIntyre I think could have fit in too.

[Doombear]

Don't know if anyone watched the e60 doc but holy shit at Adam Rose's story. Dude has my respect tenfold.

I did. I agree. I really liked all three of the ... vignettes? They really humanized all three of them to me, and yeah... I totally feel like an asshole for hating on Rose's current persona now -.- Feed those kids, Adam Rose! I liked the Graves part too. I really was sad when he got shelved for good, I had high hopes for him down the line.

Was a bit odd seeing DeMott in so much of it. At least they put the notice in at the end that he resigned due to 'him being a prick'.

[Anoat]

Looks like Sami Zayn's injury is a torn rotator cuff. Feel so bad for him.

[Xno Kappa]

Wow that sucks. That's at least 4-6 months recovery process iirc.

[Krandor]

Just watched the E:60 from last night, I really hope WWE opens up more stuff like this getting to see people behind the characters. I knew about most of Xavier Woods stuff but the stories for Corey Graves and Adam Rose are great stuff that would really work to get people behind them.

[Krandor]

Depending on how widespread this is Rose is probably going to get a humongous pop next time he's on TV.

[Snprphnx]

With Naomi and Taminas attack on the Bellas on Raw, and Naomi attacking Brie last week when she was giving an update interview on Daniel Bryan, it looks like the Bellas have begun a face turn.

[Melena]

Depending on how widespread this is Rose is probably going to get a humongous pop next time he's on TV.

Rose sadly is toast so long as Michael Hayes is working. According to dirt sheets, he was recently quoted as saying he wouldn't even watch a Rose match if he was given a free ticket.

[Doombear]

Depending on how widespread this is Rose is probably going to get a humongous pop next time he's on TV.

Yep, like I said. I have a lot more feels for the guy now, but that persona still isn't my favorite. That said, I hope he does get a nice pop.

According to dirt sheets, he was recently quoted as saying he wouldn't even watch a Rose match if he was given a free ticket.

That is a quote from the ESPN documentary that we are talking about, that aired last night. However, he said that before his character switch (from Leo Kruger to Adam Rose) in a round table with the other Developmental staff. Given that it was filmed a while ago, and Adam Rose is now on the main roster, it is safe to assume that he is busy not buying tickets to see the newer folks down in NXT instead =P

[Melena]

Well Michael Hayes is still a piece of shit. It's no secret he's never liked Hunter, and if dirt sheets are to be believed, he hates NXT period and wants to see it fail. But Vince is loyal to him as he never jumped ship, so as long as Vince is breathing, Hayes will have a job.

[Krandor]

Hayes has a good mind for the business by all accounts and I could honestly see Hunter keeping him around unlike Dunn.

[Vagrant]

So Jeff Jarrett's GFW finally began the process of revealing the company roster today. As expected some New Japan names featured with the Bullet Club's Gallows and Anderson, and Killer Elite Squad Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Lance Hoyt. Other names were PJ Black(formerly Justin Gabriel), Moose from ROH(hope he brings Veda Scott with him but doesn't seem so), Chris Mordetsky(formerly Chris Masters), former TNA knockout Lei'd Tapa the one that inexplicably won that gut check challenge thing they did for a while against Ivelisse, and my personal favorite Thea Trinidad also a former TNA knockout as Rosita for Mexican America and former multi-time Rosebud.

[Krandor]

You missed CHAEL FUCKING SONNEN as a commentator.

[Vagrant]

You missed CHAEL FUCKING SONNEN as a commentator.

Knew I forgot someone. But yeah I wonder how long before he gets himself into trouble somehow.

[Xno Kappa]

Oh shit lol! That's freaking awesome!

[Doombear]

I think Chael is going to be a damn fine commentator. Hopefully he gets to be as funny as he is.

[Vagrant]

So on top of Sami Zayn injuring his shoulder and expected to miss several months because of it, now it turns out Hideo Itami will probably miss 6-8 months due to a severe shoulder injury of his own. So that throws two matches for the next Takeover into chaos with both the title match and #1 contenders match now being short a competitor.

Best guess will be Balor vs. Breeze continues on for the #1 contender with the winner getting the title shot that night. And I'd also expect them to add a Uhaa Nation match onto the card since he debuted in a vignette last night.
