There will be no Orton sucks chant.
Arena fans are loyal sheep. Not reactionary "Internet fans" who don't know what's good for business who should be scorned and resented.
Even if they booed Randy their boos would be edited into cheers when Smackdown airs.
Anyone bringing in the above signs will have them taken away.

i read three paragraphs of that crap and closed it. you want orton to look strong? well they did a shit job of it by having him destroy the jobber nexus for the last few months. having him earn his title shot by going through everyone on smackdown and then taking on christian? very few would have a problem with that. having hm take the title off christian after he held it for only 2 days? how does that work? how did he get into a match for the title like that to begin with? this was pandering to orton, and as wcw and tna have proved, pandering to the talent to appease them only makes your overall product suffer
 
John Morrison announced on his twitter this morning that he will be undergoing neck surgery. He didn't say any more specifics on it.

The angle with R-Truth ending with a neck injury on Raw was to be the angle to set up if Morrison needed surgery or time off. Morrison was pulled from the weekend shows and examined as to the severity of the injuries and it was determined he would need surgery.

Morrison is expected to be out of action for several months.

Probably old but Best Buy has a $12.99 sale this week on several WWE DVDs such as Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho and Undertaker sets as well as Wrestlemania 26.

I was reading Lance Storm's website Q&A and some guy asked him if a Worst of WCW DVD would sell. Of course, Lance said it would, especially if they did it Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior-style and had everyone make fun of all the stupid shit WCW did.

Hell, with the amount of asinine crap WCW did, they could do like 2-3 DVD sets! :D

So is R-Truth fucked now that his first feud has gone up in smoke?
See what I did there?

Aha! I spat out my water!
hmm, mine doesn't work so well
Well maybe R Truth will move onto a feud with Kofi for the IC title, it would be nice to have Kofi in an actual feud again, maybe we could even get him some mic time? eh, probably not.
 
Reading that WrestleZone column posted earlier just makes me shake my head. Ignoring the god awful grammar that he uses throughout the column, it's absolutely terrible. There are so many fallacies in his argument that I can't even be bothered to reply to. It just reads like shameless propaganda and sucking up to Vince McMahon. Are we sure Avatar299 isn't back somewhere and wrote that up as a troll?
 
Luger can contribute a lot to this. "Wellness" goes far beyond drug testing.

Also, he's not "in charge" of the policy. He just assists. Here's the quote from Luger himself:

I actually work behind the scenes with them now again with their wellness club. I council a lot of their athletes on nutrition, wellness, exercise, and taking care of their bodies. That's another thing WWE is being very proactive now with the wellness department and really train these guys with health and nutrition and drug prevention. We're trying to prevent the young guys, this young generation of guys from going down the same path we did in the 80's and 90's.

What's he going to assist on? Here's how you beat drug tests?

Luger clearly knows a lot about diet and exercise. You do realize that steroids alone can't make your body look like that, right? Plus, Luger never had to go through drug testing so I don't know where you get that "beat drug tests" thing either.

Sure he did. There was drug testing in bodybuilding, and in the WWE when he was in it.

Kurt Angle is saying he is training for the 2012 olympics on his twitter and he also posted this

""I am signing a 3 1/2 Guarantee Contract with Tna. I will be compensated Higher than Wwe. I am Proud to be in Tna. Thank You Dixie!!!""

Damn, I guess he means 3 1/2 years. I would have liked to see him go back to WWE for one last run.

I like how Kurt is proud to work for TNA - because they are paying him more than WWE.

I think a R Truth - Kofi feud could be pretty fun for a while as long as its actually personally and not the normal lazy feuds Kofi gets given, heel wants belt etc.
 
- Kevin Nash said on Sunday’s Live Audio Wrestling radio show that he recently received an email stating that Lex Luger is now in charge of WWE’s Wellness Policy.

With Morrison out of action, who are left as faces on RAW?

Chris Masters, Kofi Kingston, Evan Bourne, Big Show, Rey Mysterio (Cena left off)

Outside Mysterio and Cena of course, it's obvious WWE hates pushing new faces to the main event scene. Actually it isn't the main event scene, but just getting a good push in general. Unless your name is Randy Orton or John Cena, you're better off going heel. Even then you'll be crushed by one of those two, but at least to some extent you'll get decent air time and maybe a storyline.

To be fair I think its also because they are letting him do other stuff like make films, have his food company and train for the Olympics. He is genuinely pretty loyal to TNA, he turned down UFC's offer a few years back because he would have to stop working for TNA and he felt he owed them.
 
Wikipedia says that the 2012 Royal Rumble is going to be at the ACC in Toronto.

Maybe Christian losing the title is part of an 11 month feud that will culminate in Christian winning the Rumble and challanging Orton in the Main Event of Wrestlemania XXVIII*


*Main event is actually John Cena-The Rock.

Can you pass me some of that weed? :)
 
Holy shit listening to Meltzer... Just when you think this company can't get any dumber the original plan was to have Del Rio win and drop it to Orton 2 days later. And Del Rio v Rey because it's a different show and they consider it a different audience.
 
krae_man said:
Yeah, I'm not serious. It's about damn time Toronto got a PPV though. Last one was Unforgiven 2006 with Edge-Cena in a TLC Match.
Click to expand...
I was at that PPV. Only one I can recall that featured both a Hell in a Cell match and a TLC main event.
Was caught on camera dancing to Shane McMahon's entrance music. How embarassing!
 
As he said on Observer radio its probably Christians best that he lost the title so soon. Vince would have booked him so terribly if he was champ for any decent length of time.

I was in the third row. All the bumps didn't look very sick except for the one Edge took when Lita hit Cena with the chair knocking him into the ladder knocking Edge through the tables on the arena floor. That looked even more awesome in person.

The other ones were meh. FU through two tables from the second rung didn't look cool at all. The Ladder to Arena floor bump Cena took looked like crap too. He let go of the ladder so late it looked like he was below the ring apron and only fell 2 feet. I get that's what you're supposed to do so you don't kill yourself but Edge made his look way better.

More Cena/Miz garbage, more Cole segments that do nothing to help any stars, random squash match somewhere, and another show where talent like Dolph Ziggler gets used like shit.

That Bill DeMott's a funny guy.

Given the house show beatdowns incurred this weekend, I have to expect that R-Truth vs. Evan Bourne will be plugged onto the Over the Limit card.

Bourne and Ziggles should form a tag team and call themselves Bourne and Bourner.

That's hysterical.

The first part of a two-part podcast featuring former WWE "wrestler" MVP is now up on IWantWrestling.com. He reveals that he left the company due to it becoming "too corporate" and decried that "wrestling" was now considered a dirty word.

Vince is doing plenty with Zack Ryder.
He jobbed to Percy Watson at a house show in Alabama this weekend.

See... he's being utilized. :)
