HHH being behind Mayweather isn't the same as Punk not being allowed at UFC. Mayweather worked with the WWE and boxing is no longer a big draw/competitor to the WWE.

If HHH came out with Anderson Silva at a UFC PPV then we would have a story, this is a no story as far as I'm concerned.
 

Aiii

So not worth it
Any exposure is good exposure. But try to tell Vince that, not to many people can convince him of such things, if any.

Having Punk come out with an UFC fighter gives the guy extra credability with that target audience, hell, maybe one or two will tune in to check this Punk guy out and stick around.

But hey, it's his company, his rules.
 
Can we just agree Vince just needs to retire / die.


He is pretty much just running the company to get his own kicks (burying Brock, WWE network, gay/fat/skinny jokes, Ryback) and doesn't give a fuck about the audience or long term profitability.

Plus it doesnt help that anyone with any knowledge of the product can see how much he lies or is just out of touch during those shareholders meetings when he is forced to comment on the state of the business.

Vince is actually starting to remind me of Al Davis. Not that I'm happy Al Davis is dead, but I'm happy he's not in charge anymore for the Raiders! If Vince leaves will WWE really improve though?

That's the question that I pose every time someone says Vince should leave/die.

Would the WWE really improve? I assume either HHH or Stephanie would take over after Vince's leave. I'm not sure how Stephanie would handle the company, but I did find myself agreeing with her thoughts on how they should have handled Evan Bourne. But, that's only one thing and she could be just as foolish as her dad is. I'm not sure how HHH would handle things too, I assume things would be similar to how Vince does stuff.

Dont know.

Triple H / Stephanie taking over will have its own share of problems thats for sure But we already have those problems now... we would just be eliminating the Vince factor.


Triple H at least seems to have a better taste in talent then Vince. Sheamus is a pretty solid performer and Sin Cara was a good get on paper.

Honestly I want to see more Triple H picked guys.
 
CM Punk certainly doesn't think the WWE will improve once Vince is gone.

Company Man Punk doesn't want to offend his boss now he is on his good side.


Speaking of Punk. His title run has gone on quite a bit, Maybe its time for some change. Its been nearly a year since MITB and his elevation to the "main event".

I don't see who else they could give it to except....Cena....

do you really want Cena as champion? I know he's the main event but at least someone else that is worth watching has it.

It's time for the YES! era to begin.
 
Daniel Bryan should beat Punk for the title at Over The Limit and then you can have Punk win it back at Summerslam in a few months and they can have their program over the summer. There isn't anyone else there even built up to be a credible contender for Punk. Who else would win it? Tensai is the only possibility, but noone gives a shit about him. Noone gives a shit about Del Rio. Noone gives a shit about Christian. Noone gives a shit about Mark Henry. Atleast with Bryan if he's champion it opens up matches with Orton, Cena, Sin Cara who will be returning, Rey Mysterio who will be returning, and some others.

How about a Punk heel turn to open up those matches.

Even if Punk turned heel again, there's no quality faces. WWE's current roster is dog poo because of their inept booking.

I just want to know where are they going with the AJ angle because it seems I'm not sure where its going. It would be great if they get back to getter at over the limit to give Daniel Bryan the title.
 
She needs to beat Layla for the women's title and Bryan needs to be World Champion and they can rule as the king and queen of the WWE. It's weird that she had no involvement with the finish of Extreme Rules, especially after hinting at her involvement. I'm going to guess she costs him the title against Punk or helps him win. Or they just drop it and nothing ever happens between them. Or they forget about it and then 4 months later bring it back up like with Zack Ryder and Kane.
 
Wow didn't realize that was them. I've heard they are really good aren't they? Never seen a match. I wonder if TNA will sign them or let them appear in the next gutcheck on tv. They could use a new tag team.

I've talked to Johnny Yuma a few times and can say that him and Goodtime are really good guys.

I've got a few friends who come down from portland and washington for PWG shows and they know who they are.

I hope that TNA picks them up, but I'm sure that they've talked to The Young Bucks about their TNA run. We'll see what happens.

Wouldn't be the right move to turn Punk heel right now. Maybe in another year. He just needs the title off of him. He's had it too long.

I disagree. He's actually a worthy champion. Keep it on him until a big draw is willing to take it off him. Rock, Brock or Cena. Otherwise, why would you have him lose it to smaller draw wrasslers in the mid card?

The world heavyweight title is midcard unless it's on Cena. Why not have Daniel Bryan win the title to elevate him? Cena beating Punk does nothing for either one of them.

I would rather have him drop it to Rock for championship prestige. Bryan can get the WHC for a mid card title that he can elevate himself with.

WWE Championship needs to be prestigious.

What point is having a WWE champion that won't be on house shows or most tvs? Giving the belt to Rock doesn't make sense. Brock could work for a short term title reign, but again he can only appear on tv every few months and no house shows.
 
So Chris Hero injured himself last night.

I found this on wrestleforums.com from his facebook;

First, I want to thank all my friends and fans who have gone out of their way to message me and ask about my condition. I am feeling a lot better. There is some residual soreness/stiffness; I'm just very lucky that the injury was not as bad as it could have been.



Now, for the uninformed, I will explain what happened. Last Thursday, at the FCW Arena in Tampa, I took part in a
Human Cage Match v. the newest Smackdown Superstar, Antonio Cesaro. Late in the match, the action spilled to the floor and I saw an opportunity to dive onto the pile. I hurled myself out of the ring, twisting as I crossed over the top rope (this maneuver is called the High Jump Moonsault Suicida: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cp6yfYPvDI ). This time, I came up short on the dive, landing in front of the pile, directly on top of my head . Fortunately there wasn't any dizziness or numbness to speak of. Somehow I was able to make it to my feet and finish the match (getting the W, no less, after smashing Cesaro's melon into an exposed turnbuckle).
I landed incredibly hard. Once the initial scare subsided, I had a good feeling that the injury would not be serious.



Our athletic trainer accompanied me to the Emergency Room after the show in order to rule out any potential breaks/fractures. Five hours later the x-rays had come back negative and I was diagnosed with a cervical sprain. I don't believe it to be as serious as it sounds but we are taking every precaution. I'm still coping with stiffness but, with rest and rehab, it's gotten better each day. I'm optimistic for a quick return.



I want to thank some of my opponents over the years (Ian Rotten, Arik Cannon, Eddie Kingston, Trik Davis) for helping toughen up my skull with a slew of sickening headbutts. I also want to thank Jorge "Skayde" Rivera and the Pro-Wrestling NOAH Dojo for teaching me a litany of exercises and techniques that have greatly strengthened my neck strength over the years. This is a scary situation that could have been infinitely scarier had circumstances been different.



I consider myself incredibly fortunate. In wrestling, there are a number of variables that you can't always plan for. Accidents happen and all you can hope for is to be properly prepared. My peers at FCW and the training staff were incredibly helpful to me in this instance. Unfortunately, most of the smaller wrestling organizations aren't properly equipped to handle these situations. I was amazingly lucky; the next guy might not be. Again, thanks to EVERYONE for the support. I look forward to being 100% again and making a quick return to the ring.

doesn't sound too serious.

Ask Vince. The plan is Rock to get dat title at some point.
 
More Steiner/Bischoff Twitter hilarity. This time from Steiner:

There you are u little b—h,bn tweeting for 4 wks now n u decide to respond when i tweeted About being at a Shoneys To Go Grand Opening….Really….Im playing poker with you and ive already told you what my hand is and the significance of 609,and the shoneys tweet Brought u out of yur hole,first off if you want to call anybody a drug abuser look no further than yur son… 609Garrett was a 140 lb non-athletic p—y in highschool,but as everybody can see he can take Everything under the sun but it hasnt improved his athletic ability,the apple doesnt fall far from the tree

Let me educate u on Shoneys,first off this wasnt a paid appearance,i was there on behalf of my friend Of 18 yrs who purchased the Shoneys Brand 6 yrs ago for around $300 million,and its no Longer a greasy fast food joint as u suggest,you would have known this if u ever went to the Tna offices Bcuz Shoneys corporate offices are also in Nashville,but as you like to brag your too high class and make Too much money to eat at a place like that,well the # 609 suggests you aint high class at all00

So for everybody that has bn tweeting me back asking what is the significance of 609 and why Chant 609 when either b—hoff enters the ring,is bcuz 609 is part of a larger # that eric owns n now Garrett is going to have to live with, The full sequence is 1:19-CR-609 and its represents b—hoffs docket # when he testified under oath In Atlanta’s Gold Club trial… More later on his exact testimony which is very revealing and humurous bcuz it shows what a Weasle he is,which i will also post on my website

b—hoff u need to worry about the crowds that Tna is drawing since u 3 assholes have taken control… 2,500 ppl were at the last ppv in nashville,the home base of Tna and alot of those were freebee’s, b—hoff cant deny anything that i tweeted about bcuz its all true,so hes trying to change the focus Saying im to old slow & boring..really check out the Ring ka King footage… That i didnt want to move over for the younger guys,all i did was try to elevate guys and pass the torch… Ask any wrestler better yet look at the tape,im not a mark like hogan and have to have creative control Bcuz ppl dont care who wins or loses,they want to be entertained,hogan living in his fantansy world Actually believes hes winning

Trust me b—hoff ,u and hogan are about to find out im the last guy you should have f–kd with… Your going to find out that payback is a b—h,both mentally n physically right now im FF’n with Your mind,and i will see u both again,and you will see how ruthless i can be,believe that

I have to second this. Met them a few times both at PWG shows and NWA Hollywood. All around friendly dudes. They always give great matches, too.
 
Called it a week ago when he mentioned his twitter change but just read golddust is officially gone now (probably confirmed earlier in the week but not read much)

Yep, hypocritical bullshit. What can you expect though? You know Stephanie wet her panties dreaming about getting Bieber on WWE and is probably trying to get him to come on after their failed attempts a couple of years ago. A WOMAN SHOULD NOT BE HEAD BOOKER.

Mayweather did Wrestlemania, has everyone forgotten that?
It makes it quite a bit different.
 
Abra Cadaver vs. Lucho Dinero 05-05-2012.

Here's slimmed down version of my Abra Cadaver match from last night. Apparently my buddies camera was kind of jacked and there was no audio so he put music over it and cut out of the crowd working.
I'm pretty happy with it. Big crowd, at least 400-500 people watching at the time we went on. For background I promo'd the fact that the crowed sucked and I was 0-3 but I was going to resort to dark magic if I had to. That plays into the ending. Please to enjoy.

Actually stephanie was sour on evan bourne. HHH was the guy who originally wanted to push bourne, Steph was just as cold on bourne as vince was originally.
 
OK, which one of you guys is this?

Dear Mother of God. Wow. Not that I believe in tattoos, especially in tattoos dat depict actual people that do not represent a close loved one that passed away. (literally the only good reason one could get a tattoo of a person ever!)

But why on earth would you look at the drawing of that tattoo and go "Okay, close enough, go ahead!"

These people...
