Batista out indefinitely

[Black Lushus 0]

a man of Lashley's size doesn't need strategy, the only strategy should be to go out and destroy...if you were talking a guy of Benoit or Bret Hart's size and skill, i could see that...

I have said before that I think Heidenreich will be a main eventer at some point. He just has that look that WWE likes.

What look? He looks like a big goof.

Sure he does. If he's facing Rey, then Mysterio will try to outmaneuver him and send him on a chase around the ring. In that case, just stay still and play to the crowd until Rey comes to him. Then crush him. Against someone like the Big Show (although they're on different shows) Lashley would have to turn the match into a cardio workout. There are all kinds of ways to have fun with the gimmick. It would turn Lashley from a generic big lug into a power wrestler with a brilliant tactical mind. Not play dirty, mind you, because that's the province of HHH and Flair. Just make him a surprisingly good strategist for such a big man, thanks to the help of his veteran manager.

They can't exactly put the belt on

Eddie Guerrero

anymore...

[Team Angle Pusher 0]

That's no spoiler really. I know we should all be crying about Eddie Guerrero and I was a fan of his work and I hoped they put the belt on him but life goes on. I think this will have a huge impact on the WWE. For instance I think Chavo retires in a month. First he'll pay tribute to Eddie but then he leaves, I don't think he can wrestle without him, he'll also break out of the Kerwin White character no doubt. Smackdown! is fucked now because two of their biggest Faces are gone and the ratings will most likely go down now. I mean, their two biggest Faces now are Matt Hardy and Rey Mysterio. The belt goes on Randy Orton now unless they think of something really soon. They might end the brand split now. Also guys like Booker T and Benoit are around Eddie's age and they have been thinking about stopping, they'll stop when their contract runs out I think.

 

They'll also push Bobby Lashley even more now, mark my words.

Don't be surprised to see Benoit catapaulted into the Main Event, in honor of Eddie.

[Team Angle Pusher 0]

I was just about to say that. Only thing that is in the way is that Benoit just lost the US Title. It would be really class of the WWE if they have Benoit win the World Title and they all cry in the middle of the ring. They can also have Mysterio win the title ofcourse.

[Boon 0]

Benoit would win before Rey would win, definitely.

 

Benoit and Eddie's history is far greater then Rey and Eddie's, plus it's not a stretch for WWE to put the strap on Benoit since he's already won it.

[cabbageboy 0]

I don't know, and frankly after reading about Eddie this morning I really don't care.

 

Orton frankly should just refuse the title under these circumstances..if he wins it due to one opponent being hurt and another dying people will hate him forever. And not in a heel way.

[Team Angle Pusher 0]

They just can't have a Heel win the belt now, it's not respectful. Either Mysterio or Benoit wins it.

I can't see WWE doing anything other than putting the belt on Benoit tonight.

 

I just hope they don't exploit Eddies death.

[Guest *KNK*]

I don't think the title situation means a damn thing right now, I don't care if the title is vacant for another 6 months.

 

The important thing is to honor Eddie's tremendous life and career with utmost respect. The situation with the title isn't remotely important right now.

Agreed.

They should hold off the title change till after Survivor Series now. Then put it on Benoit

 

And I guess this means Benoit and Booker will be joining Team Smackdown.

[Team Angle Pusher 0]

I know but lifes goes on KNK. We don't know the man personally. He's one of my favourites and he's one of the best wrestlers ever but life goes on.

As I am sure you will all understand, the reaction to Eddie Guerrero's sudden passing has blindsided everyone I talked to in WWE this morning. The workers I have spoken to about it are just numb and shocked.

 

The word I have gotten is that the company has decided to make both the Raw and Smackdown shows at tonight's combined taping in Minneapolis tribute shows to Eddie. The usual format for the shows has been changed to instead incorporate tributes to Eddie.

 

I still can't believe he's gone.

Oh come on. It sucks that he died but let's not get carried away, unless you were a family member or close friend this isn't anywhere near a devastating experience for any sane person. We are just fans and will move on. Pretending like the WWE will not and should not move on, or making statements like "I don't care if the title is vacant for 6 months" are ridiculous.

 

Its unfortunate that the wrestling world lost Eddie Guerrero but too many people here are trying to act like this is hitting them way to hard. I mean crying and getting all depressed? Get fucking real, you didn't lose your brother or something, stop trying to act like you did. It doesn't make you look like some fucking saint of mourning instead you look like a jackass.

 

People die everyday, deal.

Shut up. Seriously. You don't seem to even grasp human emotions. Just 'cos you don't know someone personally doesn't mean you can't have an emotional attachment to that person.

[Adam 0]

Where the fuck do you get off telling everyone how to feel you unemotional piece of shit? People can feel about this however they want. If they want to cry, cry. If they want to mourn, fucking mourn. Get off our high horse and get the fuck out if you don't like it.

Cool your jets, kids.

Batista's expected to be out 4-6 weeks. He can't just make like Hulk Hogan 1993 and not defend the title; something's got to main-event Armageddon, after all.

[tpww7 0]

I think Armageddon will be the Taker-Orton buried alive match that was suppose to be at Survivor Series

There's no WAY they'd try and do that now, is there?

...and this post got you banned at DVDVR...

 

I'm sorry he's gone and feel bad for his family but some people in this thread seriously need to get a grip on reality. If any of older than 13 are seriously crying over the death of someone you in no way knew, you need to check yourself ASAP. You were a fan of a performer, that's it. Stop acting like you lost a family member or something, your not doing him a service or making yourself look like some outstanding person.

 

Again, this is tragedy for his wife and children, and very sad for those who knew him. Its also a sad day for wrestling fans but stop going overboard trying to out grieve each other.

 

And seriously if any of you who "cried " are over 12 you seriously need to rethink your relationship with wrestling ASAP.

 

Luckily we get your "exclusive" opinions here from now on.

To be fair, DVDVR can be a bunch of pussies sometimes.

[Fökai 0]

And to be fair, he doesn't know the extent as to how Eddie has affected people's lives.
