Have they specifically said that the reward for the Sheamus/Cesaro best of 7 series is a Universal title shot? Unless I missed it, the verbiage has always been vague. "A future title opportunity."
If so, imagine if Cesaro wins it, thanks Mick Foley, and tells him, "Give me a week to decide." Then, he shows up the next night on SmackDown, beats Miz for the IC title, and stays on SD. Cesaro gets to be where he wanted to be all along, and Daniel Bryan gets the IC title off Miz. |
Cesaro will prob feud with US Champ Roman Reigns next is my guess...

WWE Shop needs RAMPAX - Need to make Roman look strong. "Superman Punches and the toughest of flows, nothing stops RAMPAX"

I feel like I'm way past the point of being able to give a fuck about Sheamus, which is sad because the guy is a really good wrestler.

Brock could simply win the Royal Rumble and jump over (I don't know why that loophole in the Rumble winner's contract hasn't been fixed up yet), but they might try to babyface him a bit more by making him more of an ally to Shane McMahon. Like, once Shane gets beaten up by Brock, he earns Brock's respect for taking such a good beating for what he believes in. It also doesn't make sense for Brock to get a title opportunity on RAW. If Kevin Owens is the hand-picked guy over there, why put him against that legit killer in Brock? It makes more sense for Triple H to deny Brock a Rumble spot, and for Brock to jump over to SmackDown for one. Being "held back" by Triple H faces Brock a bit more for that eventual title win too. Plus, if Brock's contract comes up, I imagine he'll ask for more money, which might mean that Vince will try to squeeze a bit more out of Brock, which might mean a change from his exhibition schedule to something a bit more meaningful. A Royal Rumble win and title run would fit that. |

Received word that former WWE wrestler Rico is in extremely rough shape. Heart and lung issues plus having trouble remembering anything. Pretty sad.
|
According to the Observer, Luke Harper is likely heading to RAW and not Smackdown.
Was backstage during last night's RAW with a few other injured or unused RAW wrestlers implying he's with that brand now. |

He's apparently having tons of issues due to concussions. He's pretty much secluded himself and has no money for treatment. Kenny Bolin (Rico's manager in OVW) posted this on his facebook page. Pretty sad.
"it saddens me to inform you that I have just found out that a Former WWE star and very dear friend of mine named Rico Costantino (Rico the Stylist) is very, very sick and has been since at least early January. He has no help financially at all, no disability help and none in sight. He has not spoke a word to hardly any one in like 9 months. he desperately needs our help. he also has severe diagnosed concussions, a collapsed lung and sever heart problems way to detailed to get in to here. I spoke to his X-wife and length last night and she is trying to take care of him as best she can. i am hoping we can set up a go fund me account to assist him as soon as his X can get me the banking info to have it sent too. i also hope the WWE and Vince Mcmahon, Stephanie McMahon or Hunter will chime in and help this great and very nice man who gave his life to helping others till here recently. Lets get the word out about Rico's illness to those who may be able to help him in this extreme time of need. as i get more info from his X Linda i will pass it on. i will be contacting a few of my former and current WWE stars to rattle some cages in hope of getting rico some financial help. his illness was not caused by drug abuse as in the case of many others who got help. and his severe concussions were acquired entertaining all of us over the years. Linda says he can say something in one hour, and totally forgot he said it 2 hours later. i do hope we can all band together and give just a little that may up in the end being a lot and a life saver for Rico. he needs our help. he deserves our help. those of us who loved him and were entertained by him. he is one year younger than me and looked 20 years younger. Linda says we would not recognize him now. please help me help him and rattle a few cages. thank you all very much" K.B |
Poor Rico. :( I was thinking about him the other day -- a really underrated talent. If he's in that sort of shape, I hope the WWE throws some money towards his medical bills. He helped a lot of talent come along in OVW by many accounts.

That's awful news about Rico :( kinda shocking too as last I had heard about him he was doing well as a police officer.
|
Damn, the 50s are fuckin terrible if you were active in your youth.

Maybe Charlie Haas and his wife Jackie will help.
I honestly can't see Vince, Stephanie or Triple H helping in any way. |
I don't know why, but part of me feels that it's all not as bad as Bolin is making it out to be.
Rico is most probably ill and I really hope he gets better really soon, but from reading what Bolin said, it's coming across like Rico is at death's door. I hope he's not though, but it's just a weird feeling I have. I dunno. :-\ |

Is this Rico thing just a gimmick for Lucha Underground or the real deal??

Current rumor going around the net involves the WWE toning down the new Cruiser division for RAW compared to them having a lot more freedom with the CWC tournament.
Assuming its true, probably a mix of the other divisions already doing Cruiser-like moves for matches and not wanting the new division to upstage everything else for the brand. Also maybe for health reasons considering WWE's recent Papa Shango injury curse and WWE's touring schedule being pretty brutal in terms of lack of rest. |
Doubt it's true, stupid if it is.
|
I bet it is true. Never thought the Cruiserweight division would be any different than the rest of Raw.
|
Well no shit, I don't think we're gonna see some Burning Hammers in the middle of RAW
|
Oh did we get Burning Hammers on CWC?
|
|
Yeah, I'm all for them reigning the guys in a little. Some of the stuff they did was just dangerous.
|
All they need to keep is the intensity.

They absolutely should tone right down if they're doing Main Event matches. Who watches that show?

Lol check out this story from an old Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Never heard of this before.
– The Rockers showed up at the tapings with their faces beaten black and blue, as they apparently got into a very violent fistfight with each other in Denver a few nights before, with Shawn getting the worst of it.█ Most sane wrestling promotions would put them on TV and blame their current enemies on the beating.█ The WWF sent them home until further notice.█ Shawn wants out of the team, and Vince has asked Marty to turn heel and go single.█ |
