Thanks for posting these.

 

Hopefully Rey's knees being bad holds off on him winning at Mania and Angle gets to retain. Rey can win at Summerslam against Trips or something for all I care.

I would assume this is from the Create-a-Wrestler feature/preset moveset that is in the game for him?

 

Thanks for posting. Doesn't look like the WWE has any damn common sense these days with trying to get Batista back before he's healed up properly, trying to get Sid at WrestleMania, and now seeing Rey Jr. have knee problems (which leads me to believe he won't be winning the belt @ Mania).

[Guest Arnold_OldSchool]

The Heenan thing I imagine was "Bobby's a drunk" stories

[Dobbs 3K 0]

Yeah, I never heard about that one. Anyone have more details on what Lanza actually said about him?

Say what you want about Sid but I never had a problem with the guy. He wasn't graceful or a good wrestler by any stretch of the imagination, but he had ring presence. He looked like he could break you in half, and I still think he threw some of the best punches. He looked like he was trying to smash your head into your shoulders. I don't think he should've gotten a main event spot, but I wouldn't have minded him having a short match with someone.

So basically, the only thing seperating him from Snitsky are his punches.

 

There would be no rational justification for having Sid on any sort of wrestling card these days.

Sid had terrible punches. They couldn't break an egg.

SID, had IT. Snitsky, has nothing.

WTF? Why risk reinjury? I know Batista will come back early if the docs let him. The company should not be motivating him to come back before he is ready.

Anyone want to take a stab as to who this 'unnamed wrestler' could be?

I am utterly speechless. Why? I wonder wHHHo's idea this could be? Seriously, what genius thought this will work?

 

 

Rey jr is having knee issues again

He will have knee issues the rest of his life. I'm not surprised by this update at all.

I could totally buy it being Johnny Jeter.

priceless.

Also, Sid was amazing with his short Stint in ECW.

My first thought was Johnny or Ken. I thought of Ken first since he's been around wrestling for like 6 years already. I have no idea how long Jeter has been in wrestling. Nobody else has been called up lately with a crap gimmick except them and if you want to count it the Boogeyman, but he is null and void considering he decided the gimmick was worth "corrective" surgery.

Yeah, I still trying to figure out why they are getting the HOF induction...

Ken Doane's been in wrestling for six years? Isn't he still nineteen?

[Guest El Satanico]

Yeah it's a stupid gimmick, but I don't see Spirit Squad as being bad enough to quit wrestling over.

[Celtic Jobber 0]

Sid was great, but after what happened to his leg I don't think he'd have much left anymore.

 

And any comparison between Sid and Snitsky is baseless. Sid had tons of charisma, a great finisher, and a great presence. Snitsky just has a catchphrase, and that got old a long time ago.

[Bruce Blank 0]

TNA offered Kanyon a one day contract, he refused to sign it because that one day deal would give TNA rights to his merchandise for the rest of his career

I know this should really be in the TNA folder but this is completly PATHETIC.

 

good for Kanyon not to sign such a preposterous contract

[Guest treecelightning]

Yeah, but that's not his fault.

Also, Sid was amazing with his short Stint in ECW.

How so? All he ever did was randomly appear and then chokeslam guys.

 

Sure, it's the best possible use for Sid but it still doesn't achive anything.

[Guest Samantha]

Juvi called Christian up and sucked up to him trying to get a TNA spot

 

He doesn't give up does he?

Do you mean his two front teeth? Didn't he knock them out during training/early match/Tough Enough? I'm sorry if it's a stupid question, but I want to know.

[Fro 0]

Yeah it's a stupid gimmick, but I don't see Spirit Squad as being bad enough to quit wrestling over.

 

It's probably Jeter, since he's one of Meltzer's buddies.

[Danville_Wrestling 0]

I think even though the Spirit Squad is a dumb gimmick that it has a chance to get over. If those guys keep busting out those high flying moves and crazy stuff like that trampoline clothesline the crowd could start eating it up considering the other stale garbage that is in WWE. Of course, if they ever were to get over as anything but a comedy act the WWE would probably cut their legs out from under them.

Something like that happened but he could have done something about it but WWE Creative told him it would look good for his gimmick and he agreed.
