I heard that on the radio, it's so funny because I live in NC

I never watch ECW , unless it's on video from 1999 .

Hey BTW I heard " Big " Ben Roethlisberger from the Pittsburgh Steelers is goingto host Raw next week? How true is that?

JDubbs · « **Reply #704 on:** October 01, 2009, 08:04:23 PM »

I am SOOO SICK OF CRYME TYME VS. HART DYNASTY MATCHES!!!!

I like where wrestling is going these days. I mean... we have to deal with Batista on Smackdown... but hey, at least we don't have both Batista and Jeff Hardy. Goodness, that'd be awful. Maybe CM Punk will fight Batista and get him to quit, too. I like CM Punk because, at the very least, he's competent. I don't like how they're working him now and I want to see him use his Anaconda Vise more often. I'd also like to see some variety when he uses the mike. Undertaker is still good. Jim Morrison is very impressive though I think he needs some work on the mike. He always sounds weird and awkward and the nickname he gives Dolph Ziggler, Mr. Ziggles, is not that clever or funny. Dolph Ziggler is a great villain so far but he needs a new finisher. It's like an inverted Pay Dirt or something. Speaking of Pay Dirt, I like Shelton Benjamin being pushed as a face on ECW. His feud with Shaemus seems interesting. I like that Kozlov is still around but Ezekial is a bad partner. All he does is body slams and rib breakers. I've liked Kozlov since the beginning and I think he should be doing more singles work. Regal is still a top-notch wrestler. Christian is good but I don't know if I like him as a main-eventer or even a face. And even though he's had the Impaler/Unprettier/Killswitch for years, it just looks weird. He barely has a grip on his opponent when he does it. I just wince whenever I see him pulling it off. It used to look better years ago, though. I'm glad to see the audience still likes Goldust but he's gotta lose the weird twitching. I haven't seen a lot of Paul Birchall on ECW but I liked him when he was a pirate so he must be better now. The Hurricane is still cool. I'm glad he's a super hero again.

As for RAW...

I remember watching a 4-way match between Kofi Kingston, The Miz, Carlito, and Jack Swagger and thought "this is the most impressive WWE match I've seen in YEARS." Then again, I don't watch RAW all that often. Only Smackdown since I don't have cable. But, now I'm going to start catching RAW (and ECW) online. And despite what people say, I like Randy Orton. I think Dibiase and Rhodes would do better on their own at this point but I like the whole Legacy thing right now. John Cena... I still think he's a mid-carder at best. DX is also a little tired but it gives HBK and HHH something to do while they're not beating up everyone else and hogging up all the attention. Not sure what's happening with Chavo now but if a face push means he'll start winning more matches, I'm all for it.

Not sure what brands Finlay, Jericho, and Big Show are under (it's still all confusing to me) but they're still good. I still think Finlay deserves more, though.

As for women's wrestling... Michelle McCool needs to stay champion and Melina needs to be released. Divas who are valets should never be in the ring. That is all.

well felt i needed to comment. I saw smackdown last night and it was real intertaining. i used to be a big wrestling fan. i fell off. havent watched it in ages. caught it by chance last night since i didnt party or go out. But yo i was laughing in disbelief at the Million Dollar mans son

when did he get in the game?? i heard the last name and im like wtf?? thats his son?

wow. whos next? The warriors son? or Hulk hogans son later

....

anyway the last match was the best

. and Taker better not lose to that corney C Punk cat.

So is the Rock coming back?

fer619 · « **Reply #711 on:** October 04, 2009, 07:34:13 PM »

i doubt the rock is coming back to wwe

it would be cool though

btw R-Truth vs. Drew McIntyre added to the Hell in a Cell card

Whoblehwah · « **Reply #712 on:** October 04, 2009, 07:47:58 PM »

HIACs are always cool, but I still think having 3 in one night is stupid. HIACs are supposed to be used only to end long fueds that can't end any other way. CM Punk and Undertaker have only been fueding since after Summerslam.

Also, WHY is Batista/Mysterio vs. Jericho/Show happening? Batista just came back from injury. Whatever happened to EARNING title shots? Mysterio didn't earn it either. Hell, he LOST his last match before his suspension. WWE fails at logic.

Oh and like Darktalbain said, CM Punk rules. He's like Samoa Joe...... with mic skills.

Hell in a Cell has been kickass so far. All the matches have been surprisingly good. The women's championship match was even good. Alicia Fox did a great tilt-a-whirl backbreaker and followed it up with a sexy pose. =]

KPT25 · « **Reply #713 on:** October 04, 2009, 10:00:13 PM »

yeah...too bad Undertaker had to win the title from CM Punk...otherwise i admit these were predictable results so far

Jericho and Big Show won

Undertaker tombstoned CM Punk to win the WHC

Mickie James retains against Alicia Fox,same thing with Morrison against Ziggler

For some reason,i have the feeling that Randy Orton might win the title back from Cena tonight...but i don't know for sure
I was shocked to see that Taker vs Punk was the first match of the night(it should have been near the main event)

Post Merge: October 04, 2009, 10:10:13 PM

How funny...i was actually f**k*** right!!Orton won the title back!

Whoblehwah · « **Reply #714 on:** October 04, 2009, 10:17:30 PM »

Yeah, putting Taker v. Punk first is stupid. Also, Orton v. Cena happened already. Which means the non-title tag team HIAC match I going to be the main event. -_- Damn HHH and his stupid backstage powers!

I also didn't like the ending of Taker v. Punk. Why the hell do they keep giving CM Punk such short reigns. He's a GREAT heel and great in the ring. Sure he's not all muscular like the other main eventers (Cena, Orton, Batisa, HHH, etc.) but he's probably a better wrestler than all of them. And yes that includes Shawn Micheals.

Edit: Apparently they changed where Kingston's from. He's now billed from Ghana, West Africa,

but just wait till tommorow RAW!

KPT25 · « **Reply #718 on:** October 06, 2009, 12:14:34 AM »

ZOMG! The Miz is the new US Champion!

And we will soon get the most boring match of the decade: Orton vs Cena in an "Anything goes Iron Man" match

JDubbs · « **Reply #719 on:** October 06, 2009, 01:04:25 AM »

Gaaah, if their Hell in a cell match was that boring, imagine their ironman match. and hopefully John Cena will go to ECW so i can forget to watch it on purpose

That's why CM Punk is good, because he not a big stiff musclehead like batista. Sucks that the Undertaker beat CM Punk. We have another BS title reign. Taker sucks anymore. Back n the day he was great, he's just so played out now. He needs to retire.

Like we were discussing before, if they want to push the " big guy " do it with Kane. Taker doesn't even really look menacing anymore. Kane at least has a build & they put the mask back on him, instant hit

Your too old school ...

Still on board with Taker. In my eyes the taker's career has been over for years. He's just boring for the most part.

Now as for Raw, I thought it was awesome. Just for the fact that my boy Big ben hosted it. I kind of like this guest host thing. For the most part they've been making me laugh each week.

The only reason Taker vs. CM Punk was first was to screw over CM Punk due to his backstage heat

what backstage heat?

JDubbs · « **Reply #724 on:** October 07, 2009, 10:43:53 AM »

from what i read, WWE was overseas and CM Punk was the champ. He was dressing less than appropriately for a World champion and some people in wwe management told him.

Then the Undertaker pulled him to the side and told him that he should dress better since he is the World Champion and represents WWE at which point CM Punk said "What about John Cena"

Long story short that got to management and now CM Punk isnt the champ since he cant represent wwe better overseas. IMO im no CM Punk fan but that is messed up tho. John Cena gets away with everything but yet CM Punk loses the belt due to what he chose to wear outside of work
