Perfect time for cena to bring HHH back as the blue blood

Quote:

We noted before that WWE already had plans to push The New Day – Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods. While their push is still going, for now, one potential major problem could be that Vince McMahon has already lost interest in the group. Just one week into the group being on TV and Vince reportedly is “over it” already.

I bet a million dollars that CM Punk loses every single fight in UFC.

For fuck sakes, they've been on tv for 2 fucking weeks.

Win or lose, Punk brings in money, and that's all that really matters.

As for the long term story thing... Those don't exist.

Also Ambrose still being fresh is a reason why I would have put him in instead of Ziggler. No doubt it was cool beyond belief to see Dolph in that position. However he has been jerked around for so long that it is quickly going to amount to nothing. Ambrose hasn't been jerked around too much yet, so it would have continued his shooting momentum.

It gives them the option for a long term story. I'm not saying they'll follow through with it. We all know WWE's ability to royally fuck up a good thing. But it gives them the option which is all we can ask for for starters.

And through all the being jerked around, Ziggler never got a moment like that. Ambrose will have his chance. He'll get his moments. He's expected to be a future star. Ziggler was a TRUE underdog. That's what made it so awesome. Ambrose in that situation would practically be expected to overcome the odds because he's been pushed to being on that path to stardom from the beginning. Ziggler was the guy who could never quite reach his true potential and was in the position to fail just like he'd always done before. It was perfect. The booking may not take advantage of it, but it probably wouldn't have taken advantage of Ambrose being the sole survivor either. The booking is generally scatterbrained and awful. But for that one night, I think they made the most dramatic move they could make.

He's just upset that AJ Lee is the "breadwinner" for the Punk household.

FORMER WWF, WCW AND SMW STAR DAVID 'JIMMY DEL REY' FERRIER PASSES AWAY

David Ferrier, professionally known to pro wrestling fans as Jimmy Backlund in the Florida independent scene, "Gigolo" Jimmy Del Rey to WWF and Smoky Mountain Wrestling fans, and Jimmy Graffiti to WCW fans, passed away last night following what is believed to have been a heart attack, PWInsider.com has confirmed. He was only 52 years old.
Originally from Grove City, PA, Richland first broke into the wrestling world after being trained in Florida by the Mighty Yankee. He began working the Florida independent scene as Jumo Kenya, teaming with Brett Wayne Sawyer before settling on Jimmy Backlund as his official ring name.

In the early 1990s, Jim Cornette was promoting Smoky Mountain Wrestling. His top heel team was The Heavenly Bodies, Tom Prichard and Stan Lane. Lane gave notice to leave the promotion, pretty much retiring and began announcing for WWF en route to calling professional boat races for a living.

Needing a new partner for Prichard, Cornette tapped Backlund, giving him the "Gigolo" nickname and re-christening him Jimmy Del Rey. The new Heavenly Bodies were immediately the top duo in the promotion, feuding with the ever-present Rock N' Roll Express.

In a history making move at the time, WWF came calling to Cornette in the summer of 1993 and brought him in, breaking down the doors to allowing a working agreement where they acknowledged SMW and SMW regulars worked for WWF.

The Heavenly Bodies were the first act to do so, challenging the then-WWF Tag Team champions The Steiners at that year's Summerslam. Atthe 1993 Survivor Series, they worked the Express in the first-ever WWF PPV bout for a championship recognized by another promotion, the SMW Tag Team belts, in Boston, MA, far outside the Smoky Mountain region.

The Bodies worked both promotions until WWF offered them a full-time contract at which point, with Cornette's blessing, they gave notice and moved on after losing a Loser Leaves Town match that saw Cornette give one of the most emotional interviews of his career upon "learning" that he wasn't going to be able to get the decision overturned.

The team was used as an undercard heel tandem, putting over babyface combinations and having good matches on house shows. They did return at times to SMW for angles and storylines, most notably against The Thrillseekers of Lance Storm and Chris Jericho.

The team was released by WWF at the end of 1995 following rumors of Del Rey being involved in an incident with a fan in a hotel. They debuted for Extreme Championship Wrestling as minions for Raven, feuding with The Public Enemy but almost immediately, Prichard was back with WWF as the often-forgotten Zip of the Body Donnas. Del Rey worked some singles bouts for ECW but never found his groove there and soon moved on.

This was during the craziness of the Monday Night War and there was a nuclear arms race going at the time for talent with just about everyone who had some sort of name getting a deal somewhere. Del Rey signed with WCW and worked an undercard role as Jimmy Graffiti for the next several years. He officially retired in 1997 following a knee injury.

After retiring, he helped train wrestlers at a school operated in Florida by Steve Keirn and would occasionally pop up in the area at independents, including christening a new Heavenly Bodies tag team ("Vivacious" Vito DeNucci and "Casanova" Chris Nelson) he would manage, but for the most part, had moved on from the business by the early 2000s and was running a wood flooring company in Florida.

This past summer, he had his final wrestling-related appearance, reuniting with Cornette and Prichard for autographs and photos at the Mid-Atlantic Legends Fanfest.

Fuck.....I liked the Heavenly Bodies.

Is Mean Gene still OK?

Mick Foley is scheduled to be Thursday's guest on the Daily Show.

I love this.

I wonder how the pic turned out. Should have tweeted it.

Speaking of tweeting.... seriously can't believe there isn't a gimmick of dude who stops mid-match to tweet.

I know they have done a couple times tweeting pictures live, and I think Austin Aries tweeted mid-match a couple times.....

But someone needs to make it a regular thing. Tyler Breeze perhaps.

I was going to say Breeze, possibly the only one.

It looks like Rey will not be signing with AAA's Lucha Underground and will be re-signing with WWE next May when the current deal expires. There also may be a plan in place where Rey will be doing a lot of work outside of the ring for WWE.

Shelton Benjamin could be returning to WWE as the sports-entertainment organization recently applied to trademark "Shelton Benjamin" for the purpose of merchandise. This is according to a page on 4-Traders.com, which notes that Lauren A. Dienes-Middlen, WWE's Vice President of Intellectual Property, made the application. It is noted below the article that trademark applications were also filed for "AWA American Wrestling Association," "Beyond The Ring," "Crush Couture," "Crush Wear," "NXT," "Skull King," "The Miz" and "Total Divas." ... Last week, he responded to fan question on Twitter asking him why he left WWE and responded, "So you could watch a guy in a bunny suit instead."

Quote:

PWInsider noted that CM Punk signing with UFC was a hot topic backstage at this weekend's WWE live events. Many talents are aware that acknowledging Punk's signing publicly will get them in trouble with WWE officials. There was a lot of talk on whether or not Punk will be successful in UFC and a lot of talk on how he's gotten more attention in the last few weeks than anything else in wrestling.

Quote:

E! aired a new promo for the return of WWE Total Divas in 2015 this weekend. It's worth noting that Summer Rae and Naomi were not included in the commercial. This could be a sign that they are being phased out of the show.

TNA still has not confirmed the date and time for Impact on Destination America but the belief is that it will air on Wednesdays at 9pm with a replay on the weekend. The weekend replay would also have some first-run material.

According to PWInsider.com, Bellator MMA is interested in bringing in pro wrestlers to add to their roster. The company recently did a “relaunch” of their product that features more pro wrestling inspired dialogue, with more drama than your standard Mixed Martial Arts show.

The idea is to bring in wrestlers, who are used to cutting promos and being in front of a camera, and create a hybrid of potentially scripted drama and “storylines” that would end in a real MMA fight. Former TNA World Champion Bobby Lashley is currently on the Bellator roster, as well as King Mo, who has done work for TNA and expressed multiple times that he is a major fan of pro wrestling.

One big name being discussed is Alberto del Rio, who has a 9-5 professional MMA record, and fought for various promotions prior to signing with WWE. No formal conversations have taken place, and its unknown if the former World Champion would even consider leaving wrestling for real fighting, especially now that he’s a relatively in-demand talent on the lucha scene.

Bellator officials have stated multiple times that they want to go after Brock Lesnar once his WWE deal expires in 2015. Of course, this news comes after CM Punk made major headlines signing a multi-fight deal with UFC.

Would love to see Shelton return.

I like brock lesnar as much (and probably more) as the next guy but I really have not given a shit about raw the past 4 weeks, him being gone with the title really hurts the product, for me.

Also having every main event end with a DQ sucks as well.

There's going to be SIX Raws between TLC and the Royal Rumble. They have alot of time to work with.

I just turned on NJPW World instead of RAW.

Bullet Club vs. Funky Weapon, Naito, and Motherfucking Honma. AJ and Naito are trying to build tension for their Wrestle Kingdom match, and the crowd just wants to see some fucking KOKESHIS

Barely watched any, but Kokeshi is a favorite of mine by far.

In practice right now, it's not doing it for me. Just forgetting he exists most of the time and not even mentioning the guy for entire episodes of Raw seems bizarre and kinda makes the title feel less important in a weird way. Not to mention this is the perfect time for the IC title to become a HUGE deal as the biggest title you can see for free and they haven't done so. It makes the shows come off as kinda directionless.

I could definitely cum in that time.
