WWE "News" & "Rumors"

[Guest FeArHaVoC]

William Regal was once known as one of WWE’s most legitimate tough guys, but that reputation seems to be waning in recent months.

 

Regal is already not well liked because of his management leanings, but now he is seen as taking less stiff bumps in the ring.

 

In addition, Regal is often seen in the trainer’s room getting muscles worked on.

 

Kevin Nash, who’s rehab has gone slower than expected, is still considered to appear at Wrestlemania. Rumors for Nash’s match could be agasint HHH or Shawn Michaels.

 

Nash, however, is more likely to return to WWE as Big Daddy Cool Diesel than as himself, or as part of another nWo concept.

 

If Nash returns as Diesel, it will be an internal admission that the nWo name and gimmick is dead and is worth less than the older, less tainted Diesel persona.

The Christopher Nowinski/Maven match which was added to the Armageddon card on Friday was pulled from the show due to time constraints.

 

It is still unknown right now whether Triple H was actually hurt during his Armageddon match with Shawn Michaels, or whether he simply booked himself to appear hurt so that when he won, it came off as more impressive.

 

As reported earlier, WWE is making a serious push to get Goldberg to come in and headline WrestleMania against The Rock. WrestleMania is booked for the 70,000 seat SafeCo Field in Seattle and with business as bad as it is, WWE knows that it won't come close to filling that arena without a match as big as Rock/Goldberg.

 

WWE and Goldberg have had talks and Goldberg is considering the offer. He is said to be considering the offer to headline 'Mania with the Rock more seriously than any other offer WWE has given him. Some believe that WWE has even offered him an extremely limited contract incase he does not want to sign a full time deal.

 

Many in WWE were shocked that Rob Van Dam was not on the Armageddon PPV last night and could not come up with a logical reason as to why he wasn't on the show. Of course, the general feeling backstage is that RVD wasn't on the show because certain other talents are trying to keep potential stars down.

 

Matt Hardy has a swollen eye due to Chuck Palumbo actually landing a legit punch in their match at the 12/14 house show in Jacksonville, FL.

[Guest tpww7]

They didnt have time for Maven- Nowinski but did have like 20 mins for the whole dawn-torrie- al crap.

[Guest bob_barron]

And that's a problem why....?

[Guest Goodear]

I think we all know who they were talking about Jeff, but thanks anyway.

[Guest ViciousFish]

And Vince wonder's why business is down....no one really cared about Torrie and Dawn except for al those guys who can't get laid who cheer for Steiner.

[Guest Choken One]

Umm...Why aren't we talking about the fact DIESEL is coming back?

 

Why can't Kevin Nash just be Kevin Fucking Nash...Just no NWO.

[EL DANDY~!]

Why doesn't Vince just CHANGE THE PRODUCT and GO with who the fans like?

[Guest tpww7]

The injury to HHH last night was a deep thigh bruise and a charley horse. No word on how that will affect him tonight.

[Guest EricMM]

I can't believe they're bringing back Nash.

 

What HASN'T he done wrong?

[Guest Repo Man jr]

I can't believe they're bringing back Nash.

 

What HASN'T he done wrong?

He hasn't ever been short.

[Guest Choken One]

True...and don't discount his Hair...Good Hair and being 6'11 will get you places...

[Guest NoCalMike]

Vince's priorities are truly in the gutter. Sometimes I wonder how he has stayed in business so long.

[Guest Choken One]

Vast variety of resources and Demand for people NOT named Shawn or Hunter but Terry, Bret, Steve, Dewayne and Rob.

[Guest EricMM]

But he fucking debuted (word?) with an injury, like, he's the epitome of broken down wrestler.

 

Holy shit, can you imagine if he had NOT been injured? Instead of HHH/HBK for the past...forever, we'd have HHH/Nash/HBK for the past forever.

 

::Hides in a corner rocking gently and pulling his hair out a la mankind::

[Guest TheArchiteck]

lol..don't tell me ppl are complaining because Regal is getting his muscles checked out.

[Guest Quik]

Ha ha, Diesel is coming back.

 

WHOOT-WHOOT!

**Cue cheesy harmonica music**

[Guest FeArHaVoC]

You Don't Fuck with Palumbo's Punches!

[B. Brian Brunzell]

Why doesn't Vince just CHANGE THE PRODUCT and GO with who the fans like?

Because that would be too easy.

 

Hey, remember, Vince knows what the fans want more than we know what we want.

[Guest Hogan Made Wrestling]

Yawn, a classic hatchet job by the masters of bullshit, 1wrestling.com.

 

-baseless rumours? Check

 

-veiled accusations at HHH with no sources listed? Check

 

-irrelevant "opinions" dressed as fact? Check

I think it's quite obvious who it is.....

 

Funaki, of course.

-

When does the Torch, Observer, or 1wrestling ever reveal their source? They just say your sources tell us, or people backstage are saying.

 

 

Every single website has stories of HHH being a cancer backstage. After how many stories from various sources are the people who refuse to believe these reports, going to reliaze the reports are true.

[Guest razazteca]

Again I ask why is Chuck Palumbo employed, not only can he not do a Superkick but he is sloppy with punches.

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

Sloppy w/ that 1 punch does not equal sloppy w/ all punches

[Guest razazteca]

it just shows that Chucky is not professional as he can not keep his temper in check. All the little things add up to the sloppiness of Jungle Boy, get rid of him.

 

Never liked him never will, send him to WWA

[Guest Human Fly]

Supposedly Matt Hardy just leaned in at the wrong time, Chuck wasn't pissed at him or anything like that.

Yeah. We all know HHH isn't a "talent" anyway.

That's just speculation. It was probably just accidental. That stuff happens from time-to-time. I have not seen any evidence of Chuck being sloppy in his TV matches.

[Guest razazteca]

Chuck Palumbo has bad finishes whether it be the lame kick or the unorthadox Reverse Boston Crab. Chuck is just one of those guys who can not look good in a singles match.
