Matter of time before Ryan Clark puts the

***DUSTY RHODES NUDE (DIRECT LINK) OMG OMG DELICIOUS**>>>>>>

on the front page...

I don't think WWE will like the idea of Kane/Henry showing up Cena/Rock.

Did anyone purchase from wweshop.com? They have got some crazy deals.

There was this piece that just aired on TV about some independent wrestler called "Hannibal" who got a developmental WWE contract, but was then released because it was found that he had Hepatitis C. He is now suing the WWE (for descrimination) and Abdullah the Butcher (who he says gave Hep C to him).




Anyways, for some reason, whenever they would talk about the WWE as being the "pinnacle" of professional wrestling, they would go to stock footage of Hulk Hogan wrestling Kurt Angle on some Smackdown.

So TNA = WWE.

I completely agree with Xero here. Right down to Taker facing a scrub at WrestleMania. Seriously, if they just want something for Taker to do at Mania, for the sake of Taker having something to do, have him face Michael Cole -- "Streak vs. Streak." It would not even be played too straight-faced. Cole would brag about how WrestleMania approaches and he's unbeaten, blah, blah -- cue gong and Cole shitting himself.

The whole concept of the match would be "See Michael Cole get killed," which is not something people will avoid the PPV for. Remember how hot people were for King vs. Cole this year? It was one of the most anticipated matches on the entire card. The idea of Taker destroying Cole could be a minor selling point for the PPV. You could even use it as an excuse to have Jim Ross doing the commentary for the event. JR screaming "Do it! Do it!" as Taker has Cole in position for a Tombstone could be so rewarding for fans; although they could even have JR take the high road and claim that this is "Too much brutality. Just spare the little bastard." The idea would be to get Taker on the WrestleMania card, and have him boost his record to 25-0, without really doing too much work. Then, Taker spends some more time resting his body up for one last Mania match against Cena at WrestleMania XXIX. If Cena beats The Rock, you could even have the show close with The Undertaker crashing Cena's party, and giving us another main event scheduled a year in advance.

As for Jericho -- I do have a feeling he'll be at WrestleMania. Why not? The dude can make a shit-load of money for a few weeks work, get his name back out there, etc. And it'd actually add something to the product, too. Jericho can still go and can still create more stars. Even though it would make the most sense for Jericho to come back and go after Randy Orton -- that's not really the match I'd want to see. Although, Jericho beating Orton for the World Heavyweight Title (after Orton wins it from Henry) and then defending it against Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania is. And look, you can even add Orton to that match and make it a Triple Threat and I would be cool with it. Bryan could gain so much from beating Jericho at WrestleMania, and the story goes back to Bryan's very first match in the WWE. Also, if you have Shawn Michaels at ringside for the match, there's the history between Jericho and HBK there (as bury undertones, of course -- not really a major plot point). That would be the story for Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania, in my opinion. If Jericho returns on January 2, then you could do the World Title switch pretty soon thereafter (even at the Rumble), and still have time to set Orton up with a different story. Perhaps Orton could lose the belt, but then go on to win the Royal Rumble, jump over to RAW and challenge CM Punk at WrestleMania? It'd be a rematch from last year, but Punk is pretty much re-invented at this point. You could even throw in Stone Cold Steve Austin as Special Guest Referee, and seriously start teasing Punk vs. Austin, or even Orton vs. Austin. Orton has to be involved in a high profile bout, and that seems like a good one for him.

Don't get me wrong, though -- I think if they brought Jericho back, he'd be featured on RAW with CM Punk. And that will rule. I just think that timing lends itself to Jericho vs. Bryan more than Punk vs. Jericho.

Also, despite what people are saying, I do think that Kane vs. Mark Henry could make it onto the WrestleMania card at this point, and I think it could capture the imagination of your average fan. Kane's mask returning could lead to him becoming aesthetically fresher with a new push. It won't change the quality of Kane's work, or anything like that -- but the WWE could sell some Kane masks (or rub-on tattoos). Monster vs. Monster, with Kane going over and setting off his pyro in a quick big man match, perhaps with an old-school Pete Rose run-in for the hell of it.

Of course, there will be other big matches featuring the likes of Big Show, Sheamus, The Miz, Alberto Del Rio, Wade Barrett, Cody Rhodes, Christian, Rey Mysterio (if he's healthy) and even Dolph Ziggler. I still like the idea of Cody Rhodes facing Goldust, who has Booker T in his corner. Goldust himself suggested that the match be "Title vs. Career," and that's not a bad idea. Rhodes could end the career of his big brother, and really prove to be the deranged sociopath that is concerned only with his own legacy. I'd really like to see Big Show vs. Dolph Ziggler for some reason, but throw in Jack Swagger with Ziggler and a tag team partner for Big Show. Zack Ryder? Ryder's already got heat with Ziggler, and you can have their story play-out until Mania. Sheamus vs. The Miz seems like a pretty decently interesting thrown together Mania match. Alberto Del Rio and Rey Mysterio could have another match, given the history between the two of them. Some sort of stipulation could make it really interesting. Del Rio's cars could be against Rey Mysterio's mask, or something. Wade Barrett and Christian are then left with nothing to do, but I'm sure you can put them in some spot. Maybe just put them against Air Boom for the WWE Tag Team Titles? If they don't want to include Evan Bourne in WrestleMania plans this year due to his suspension and what-not, you could have the heels take out Bourne, and he can still appear in their corner, but his in-ring spot could go to Alex Riley, or something, since the company seems to want to push him.

Throw in a Divas Match, which will no doubt feature Beth Phoenix as an active competitor. I read that the WWE are considering Phoenix vs. Natalya, but I think those two being aligned when Kharma returns would be best. Trish Stratus might be open to another WrestleMania match, and Kelly Kelly seems to be the woman the WWE wants to promote the most. Phoenix & Natalya vs. Kelly Kelly & Trish Stratus at WrestleMania seems like a good choice for a cooler match between main event spots.

So, if you asked me, this is where I would go with WrestleMania:

* John Cena vs. The Rock

* CM Punk (c) vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship with Stone Cold Steve Austin as the Special Guest Referee

* Chris Jericho (c) vs. Daniel Bryan for the World Heavyweight Championship

* The Undertaker vs. Michael Cole

* Alberto Del Rio vs. Rey Mysterio - Cars vs. Mask Match

* The Miz vs. Sheamus

* Kane vs. Mark Henry

* Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Goldust for the Intercontinental Championship with Goldust's career on the line

* Big Show & Zack Ryder vs. Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger

* Beth Phoenix & Natalya vs. Trish Stratus & Kelly Kelly

* Wade Barrett & Christian (c) vs. Kofi Kingston & Alex Riley for the WWE Tag Team Championship

I hope its Attitude Era vs current era...

Cena v Rock

Austin v Punk

Jericho v Miz

etc

I don't like the Goldust vs Rhodes idea of Title vs Career as it's too easy for fans to pick the clear winner.

I'd like a falls count anywhere match with Dusty as the special referee.

He figured that was assumed.

This is the "?" in the Underpants Gnome Profit scheme.

No case against the WWE but probably one against Abby if he can prove it. Though how much does Abby have to take?

Hepatitis C or no Hepatitis C, this just doesn't look healthy:

Thanks for the heads up on this. I picked up two of some of the last Edge and Christian shirts and Summerslam scrum shirts. Great quality and comfortable.

Also finally picked up a Best in the World Shirt and CM Punk slippers. Got it all for 15 percent off too! Woot.

He accused Abdullah of "double-dipping" his blade. In that Abdullah cut himself open, and then cut Hannibal open with the same blade, "without his permission".

They interviewed Abdullah and he was all smiles, saying "I didn't cut him. I didn't cut nobody". In the span of the minute long interview, he did manage to cut himself open, though.

LOL at 1:51

Dude looked back, saw who was coming in, turned his back to the person, and stiffened up, waiting to be hit!

And Noid maintains his position at this forum as a long-winded gasbag! Yaaaay! X-P

I hope this Rhodes/Goldust idea doesn't come about.

It'd be interesting to watch, but not at Wrestlemania. WWE has a fantastic roster right now. It's bad enough most of them got shafted last year in favour of The Rock and Snookie, do we really need to bring back people like Goldust if it means more upcoming talent today missing out?

From the PWInsider Q&A:

The McMahon death angle with the exploding limousine....we all know it was scrapped when "he who should not be named" did what he did. I have heard there were plans to use it as an excuse to get Vince off TV as a on screen personality. Are there any rumors as to where things were going? Was there to be an investigation angle? Was a superstar to be found behind it? Or was it another angle WWE thought of without a planned end?

All we know in terms of plans was that there was going to be a Tribute to Mr. McMahon the night the Benoit family was found, which ended the storyline. Bruce Campbell of USA's Burn Notice was going to make an appearance for the storyline but beyond that, we never heard where it was planned to go.

---

We missed out on Bruce Fucking Campbell showing up on WWE TV. I hate Benoit even more now.

So Vince McMahon really WAS going to go through with faking his death, wasn't he?

LOL

I've heard rumors one of the proposed storylines would have found semen in the back seat of the limo.

Isn't Miz still bragging about being undefeated at Mania? I noticed he still mentions it from time to time... do you guys think Taker/Miz is possible?

And Undertaker vs Kane isn't easy to pick the clear winner?

I really like the old version of the theme with lyrics better.

Looks like a Soggie. Cap'n Crunch needs to SAVE Sin Cara.

Sin Cara dong.

I SEE IT NOW.

"CANNOT UNSEE".

The artwork was even #botched...

Got a link to that backyard wrestling site. Skimmed through this and I sit here wondering how in the hell you have technical difficulties in backyard wrestling?

Nice erection.

Thanks, I made it myself.

i would also think in some form hhh has a match at mania

I want to see Adam Evans vs the Undertaker.

How this isn't a t-shirt already boggles my mind.

I absolutely love the idea of CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho. I actually posted about that possibility a few weeks ago. As for the rest of the roster, I think we are WAY too ahead of ourselves if we ever think that we'll see Rock,Taker,HHH,Jericho,Kane,Big Show and Stone cold ever compete at the same event again. Not to mention a Mick Foley appearance. I'm pretty sure I just listed 8 of the 10 best competitors in the last 12 years. There is no way ALL of them are at Wrestlemania.

I like the Rhodes vs. Rhodes match.

Call me crazy, but I actually would not mind seeing a Wade Barrett vs. Daniel Bryan match for the World Heavyweight Championship. Even a triple threat with Orton would be nice..although I'm willing to bet that Randy would be pissed if he had to be ANOTHER wrestlemania triple threat match lol.

I wouldn't mind an Undertaker-Miz or a Miz-HHH match. Due to the hype and major push of CM Punk, people seem to have forgotten that just last year The Miz was dubbed as the next shining star in the company. I personally do not think that he has done anything to lessen that. He's been booked badly for most of 2011 IMO. But he deserves a high profile match at Wrestlemania. I mean the guy did main event last year's event.

I also want to see Dolph Ziggler vs. Jack Swagger for the US title. That match has show stealer written all over it.

Alberto Del Rio vs. The Undertaker? For some reason that makes sense to me..

so I'll do this:

Cena vs. Rock
Punk vs. Jericho
Miz vs. HHH
Taker vs. Del Rio
Orton vs. Barrett vs. Bryan
Ziggler vs. Swagger

you guys fill in the rest. lol

Some good matchups there scotness89 and I'd definitely enjoy that ppv. Although I'm not sure why you think a lot of those names wouldn't be there. The Rock, Taker, Kane, Big Show are all pretty much dead certs and I'd say Jericho and Triple H are highly likely. Only unlikely one is Austin really.

It's WWE's way of acknowledging Sin Cara "fucked UP".

lol as an attitude Era kid I just find it too good to be true. All of the guys I watched growing up finally back together on one pay per view. I'll believe it when I see it. All I'm missing are Edge, Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels..

....no love for Heath Slater?

...no love for Heath Slater?

Just pulled out WWF Attitude for PS1 and it's fucking ridiculous. Currently doing Steve Blackman vs. Steve Blackman. Random "Come on Blackman" fans. :'(

Also, a fan randomly yelled out "Looks like it's time for the Five Knuckle Shuffle".

And Shane McMahon is on commentary.

This game is lol.

I think another name that noone is mentioning is ted dibiase. He is getting so much better on his in ring work, and really getting over with his DiBiase Posse. Maybe DiBiase Posse vs. Z! True Long Island Story? or maybe even DiBiase and Ryder vs. Ziggler and Swagger if they start a story line with swagger, this could be a great match! Also i think a good fit for Y2J could be daniel bryan in a submission match. Also, WWE has been talking about bringing the hardcore title back, why not do it in a tournament style with the finals being at wrestlemania, it would be a great title to get some of the mid-carders a chance to shine! Also havent heard anything about R-truth here. they might have him thrown in a match vs miz. maybe a 4 way for the title (miz vs truth vs punk vs del rio)? just some of my thoughts.

And the shirt seems to have been pulled.

That was a dick move of them to put it up in the first place.

Maybe cause Notre Dame has a trademark on "Fighting Irish"?

..

Here comes the Fightin Great White!

Not sure if anyone noticed but the WWE's website was showing off the Rockers as part of Mattel's classic WWE Legends set of wrestling figures.

They ended up recreating the superkick HBK did to Jannetty as the main photo. Glass window not included in the set though.

http://www.wwe.com/f/imagecache/gall...el_Rockers.jpg

They need a Barbershop Window playset.

Zack Ryder should team up with Alex Riley.


A-Z-Ry

They should be a stable with Daniel Bryan.

A-B-Z-Ry

Mason Ryan could be their manager. M-Ry w/ A-B-Z-Ry.

Dear fans: at a wedding, bellied up to a urinal is not a good time to ask me for ANYTHING, let alone a picture.

Perfect time for a picture. :naughty:

That Sin Cara shirt is by far the funniest thing I've ever seen. LOL.

The graphic designer must have been "future endeavored" by now, if not today, early tomorrow.

Honestly though, it took me a while to figure out what was wrong with the shirt.

LOL Ryan Clark is dumb:

– WWEShop.com has released an all new Sin Cara Goteo De Oro shirt. If you take a close look, you can see why this shirt might not be the top pick from parents for their kids. It also doesn’t fit WWE’s new PG era. You can click here to view it. Wow.

He makes it seems as if WWE is going to put out porn shirts now.

So, you're saying the graphic desginer will most likely...GET THE SHAFT?




Thank you.

Andre connecting with a Tombstone.

Can you see it now? :shifty:

http://i44.tinypic.com/raq8vl.jpg

Nah dude!

You see, Kane is going to wear his MASK again! He's also going to have LONG HAIR!

And if we're lucky...HIS OLD THEME!

Things are going to be SO DIFFERENT!



:nono:

It worked for Undertaker.

Yeah, dude.

But you see, Undertaker has always had the upper hand in this feud. The last time they wrestled in WrestleMania 20, Kane already had taken off his mask, and Undertaker won.

Not now, baby. We're going to have the OLD KANE! The one who lost to Undertaker in WrestleMania 14...

...YOU KNOW!

Wow, that makes it 1000 times worse, what with the squiggles at the bottom.

If a "Golden Dripper" shirt is going to be done, let's do it the right way!

I wish they would've kept the "I am perfection" at the start, but maybe they're trying to distance Ziggler from just being this generations Mr Perfect.

Well...Sin Cara is out...so is Mysterio...

...so if WWE wants a mask vs mask match and set a Guinness World Record of the most people with masks in a place, they might as well put a mask on Cena and Rock.

They could bring back Juan Cena.

"If you win, I take off this match I haven't used for years. If I win, I strip you of the mask you just barely started wearing."

"We think you're tired of the simplistic theory of good guys vs bad guys"

Yeah Vince, because things have changed so much right? Oh sorry, forgot "tweeners". :roll:

I remember that...... awesome.....

It's really an awesome theme. The only thing I have a problem with is the intro as a theme (as a song it's fine). From what I've seen, they don't let the "Woahs" finish before sending him out, barring the first one where the Woahs took up like 30 seconds and was terrible. Other than that, I love it as a theme.

The "Woah" is definitely Cody's theme signature which works along the lines of the glass shattering, Cena's intro and Rock's "If ya smell". Instantly recognizable. Just need to let them finish and maybe let the vocals kick in before sending him out.
