Re: The Wrestling Thread : Sun Apr 04, 2010 5:16 pm  
Slightly concerned about the title change on SD. They booked Swagger as a bit of a joke on Raw in the same week in that he couldn't pin Cena even after several briefcase shots. So to have him turn up on SD and pin their champion, imo, devalues both the World title AND Jericho as it makes him look weak. I'm assuming he's picked up an injury and is having time off.


As for HBK bashing Flair, I don't think that's the case. I think HBK is disappointed that Flair didn't ride off into the sunset as planned, but he understands Flair's reasons for keeping going and there's very little to do with staying in the spot-light. It's more down to Flair's private life which includes, I believe, 4 ex wives to pay for plus a few other lawsuits that he's paying off.

HBK is one of a handful of wrestlers who is actually in a position to not NEED to wrestle. Stone Cold, Foley and Rock are the few I can think of off the top of my head.

Very sad to hear :o


Road agent, booker, adviser, on-screen manager, commentator etc. There's loads of jobs he could have done.

Flair's in the position he's in now because he lived the high life to excess and married several times. To keep wrestling in TNA is inexcusable - the guy got the biggest send-off of all-time by WWE. A guy who looked upto him gave him his best match for 15-20 years. Surely TNA can't be paying him sh*tloads to wrestle - the guy can barely move ffs! :shock:

Roofs what gives you the right to say things like that against Flair? He is the best (he's flawed who isnt?)

the HBK V Flair was a great way to end his career he got a big pay day on the back of it but still wanted more and more . My heart bleeds for him :roll: hes had more money in a year than some see in 25 years off 60 hours a week, he betrayed the fans imho and a match that should of gone down in folklore is now just a poor mid card WM XXIV match .

JR's contract with WWE expires this month - WWE don't want him to be a commentator but he says he has no objection to returning to the announce table.

TNA should pull out all the stops to bring him in - in my opinion he would be their biggest signing. Bringing someone in who can really 'sell' the moment to the viewer would be a huge deal for them, especially since WWE don't have anyone like that to replace him right now. I would have thought the lighter schedule would appeal to him.

I used to enjoy TNA but since the takeover its gone downhill. They have taken the hottest tag team in wrestling, Beer Money, and changed them into Bischoffs stodges. Daniels has been released, Nash, Hall and Waltman are back in the main event :shock: , Kong has been released and Bubba Love Sponge kept, but at least the Nasty Boys have been released.

Not a sniff.

He will walk into one of the top jobs behind the scenes and his loyalty to McMahon will mean he wont leave.
