IMO it'll be boring for long-time fans if HHH and HBK fued - it was done-to-death about 5-6 years ago. :SLEEPY:

Awesome Kong has beaten up Bubba the Love Sponge over his F*** Haiti comment.

I love how Bubba apparently said on his show he would have fought back but his career would be over if he 'took her out'.

Not sure I would have fancied his chances on that one anyhow.

Sponge Bubba should get the sack, judging from a few quotes I have read, he seems a right idiot. Who is he anyway?

We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

He's a radio presenter, I think, and an accquaintance of some form of Hogan, hence landing the TNA gig.


In regards to Hunter, I stayed up and watched RAW on a stream and he just said that Vince - and the McMahons in general - always have to have the last word in anything. Hunter said Vince should've "just let Bret go off into the sunset and we'll never have seen him again" (which is quite funny, as - according to Michaels' autobiography - it was Hunter who first suggested the idea of 'screwing' Bret and was furious with the situation that he felt Bret had put the company in).

Word a few weeks ago was that Hunter still has genuine heat towards Bret and refused to work with him. But last night, it looked as though he was being teased into the storyline.

Bret's limitations in the ring include not being able to take a conventional back bump or a shot to the face (when Vince kicked him in the balls t'other week, it was planned to be a slap to the face, but it was deemed far too dangerous given the consequences of Bret's concussion and stroke). A few sites were last week suggesting that Bret's health problems would be worked into the storyline somehow.

A final note, I was glad last night that Cole referred to it as The Montreal Screwjob. He's been doing my head in over the last month calling it The Montreal 'Incident'.

Hmm, if he's unable to take shots to the face in addition to back bumps then that would pretty much rule out any match at Wrestlemania.

You just know there's a Sharpshooter on the way though, somewhere down the line. :)

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.

Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train

Re: The Wrestling Thread : Tue Jan 19, 2010 7:21 pm  
Well they're still pushing for a rematch from last years WM with HBK vs Taker.
A possible show stealer, simply because you've two guys who the people want to see and who know what ring psychology is and how to use it.

The roster for the Rumble is:

Big Show
Cody Rhodes
Carlito
Evan Bourne
Jack Swagger
John Cena
Kofi Kingston
Mark Henry
MVP
Santino Marella
Shawn Michaels
Ted Dibiase
The Miz
Triple H
Batista
Chris Jericho
CM Punk
Dolph Zigler
Drew McNtyre
Finlay
John Morrison
Kane
Matt Hardy
R-Truth
Shelton Benjamin
Vladimir Kozlov
Yoshi Tatsu
Zack Ryder

So that's 28 confirmed guys and 2 yet to be announced. Most likely one of those will be Edge.

Have to say, the ending for Raw kinda left me cold about the Rumble itself. Doesn't look like there'll be a new breakthru star. It'll be Cena, or HHH, or Big Show, or HBK winning. And it's likely Orton will beat Sheamus for the title so it's the same old same old from WWE

Re: The Wrestling Thread : Tue Jan 19, 2010 7:46 pm  
I'm not sure you can blame them though TBH. I can't think of many young guys in WWE that have really taken the bull by the horns, grabbed attention and made an impact.

There's been occasional glimmers of hope but no consistency. Kofi Kingston cut a great promo at the Garden a few months back but hasn't pushed on from it. Guys like John Morrison and R-Truth haven't really pushed on.

I see Ted Dibiase, Dolph Ziggler and maybe the Miz as the three most likely to take the next step at the moment.

I can see Orton winning by DQ, getting frustrated and attacking some no-name to get a spot in the Rumble.

News for TNA Wrestling in Manchester.

There was originally a 5 man ladder match but Kurt is now in a singles match and Hernandez is in a tag.

3-Way Ladder Match World Title: AJ STYLES VS SAMOA JOE VS DANIELS
KURT ANGLE VS DESMOND WOLFE
TEAM 3D VS HERNANDEZ & MATT MORGAN
 
Plus: THE BRITISH INVASION W/ BIG ROB, “THE POPE” D’ANGELO DINERO, ERIC YOUNG, AWESOME KONG & HAMADA, AMAZING RED, BEER MONEY, SUICIDE, TAYLOR WILDE & SARITA, CHRIS SABIN, and more!

3 great matches there and they'll be about 4 or 5 additional matches. From going Liverpool Olympia for the first small tour and then Manchester last year these house shows really deliver.
