Guest Dam(o)nYankees Report post Posted April 4, 2006 I still fail to see how Rey Mysterio is not a credible world champion...he's faced and beaten or has come close to beating most of the top names not only in the WWE but back when he was actually smaller in WCW...he can hang with anyone on the roster, so stop saying he's not credible as a Main Eventer. That's not just coming from a Mysterio mark, that's coming from someone who watches wrestling regularly. With the exception of Hunter, Cena and Batista (whom he's never really faced) he holds pinfall victories over almost all the recent World Champions of note. exactly, and the ones he hasn't beaten he's at least shown that he's not some squash victory for them, they all struggle with beating him. He's always been booked as the little man that can take on any challenge no matter how big, even in WCW. He's pinned Kurt, Shawn, Benoit, Eddie, Jericho, Bradshaw, Kevin Nash, He was beating Big Show before Kane showed up. He's never been booked as a jobber against the big guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted April 4, 2006 Something interesting that I took off the Arrowhead Pond website. May 8, 2006 - 5:30 pm Catch all the action and excitement when WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT makes its way to Anaheim. SPECIAL MAIN EVENT MATCH! Triple Threat World Heavyweight Title Match in a CAGE with TRIPLE H VS. JOHN CENA VS. EDGE! So, count on that for another month at the very least. Don't know whether it's a dark match or not, but it's something to think about. I wouldn't mind that for a PPV ME. It's on a Monday night, so that could be a match that's on RAW. It's just speculation, fitting in with the title of the thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2006 What I would do... Lashley still has alot to do on Smackdown, and no he shouldn't go back down to OVW. He still reminds me alot like Brock Lesnar, when Lesnar came in. Everyone was saying the excat same things about Lesnar for his 1st few months, until The Rock carried him to a very good match, and then the HIAC with Taker. For Lashley, I'd have him fued with Finlay, and win that fued, then go onto JBL and the U.S. title, and have him win that. Then start pushing him into the main event scene at the wintertime, and have him win the Royal Rumble, Batista Vs. Lashley, main event at WM23. Put the title back on HHH or Edge, and depush Cena to the upper midcard, and turn him heel. Put him back to his own freestyling ways, and put him in a fued with Ric Flair. Since last night Carlito is likely a face now. Have Carlito and Masters fued, have Carlito win the fued, then have Masters go to Smackdown via draft lottery. RVD wins the WWE Title at ECW ONS2, over Edge or HHH(perferably HHH, because the heat againest HHH at an ECW PPV would be amazing). Keep him the champion for atleast until the fall, and see how he does. If he is succesful, have him main event the RAW side of WM23. Kurt Angle wins the title back from Rey Mysterio, but drops it to Batista at Survivor Series, after a long fued. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dam(o)nYankees Report post Posted April 4, 2006 What I would do... Lashley still has alot to do on Smackdown, and no he shouldn't go back down to OVW. No way. Three months ago, I would have considered it really strongly. He wasn't over, he wasn't very good and wasn't really improving. But Fit Finlay has brought Lashley to a whole new level. Absolutely no reason to send him back to OVW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrestlefreak 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2006 He still reminds me alot like Brock Lesnar JR also said that on WWE.com. Beyond the muscular build of both men however, I can't see where this comes from. Lesner also had good technical skills but Lashley is just another muscle man, IMO.

Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2006 Well, Lashley does have an amateur background, apparently. He also uses some similar suplexs and such. I don't think he's really had a chance to show off his technical side, since he's basically been doing Goldberg-esque squashes lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2006 right now I liken Lashley's move set to Scott Steiner "Big Poopa Pump" version...he needs to polish up on the intensity to get into Goldberg levels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2006 I think part of it for me is how Lashley carries the extra weight. When he competed in amateurs, he was at 175 lbs. He's put on close to 100lbs. of muscle since then and he doesn't have that fluid movement. He has impressive strength and suplexes and such, but he's sort of stiff. (not hard hitting stiff, but moves stiff) Lesnar carried his weight better because he is naturally tall and big and he could handle the extra muscle. I'm not saying Lashley can't get to a good moving point, but I would rather see him come back in after some more seasoning and make an immediate impact and be good worker than what they doing now. Again, that's just me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(not hard hitting stiff, but moves stiff) there you go, you put it how I meant to put it but couldn't find the words at the time...Goldberg has a certain fluidty that did a good job of covering up his lack of actual wrestling skill, made you think he was really killing folks...Steiner's shit was all stiff and robotic, which I'd put Lashley just a notch over at this point...if he can just mix in a little intensity, maybe a quick fued with Mark Henry, have him toss that dude around a bit, he'd be right where he needs to be.

Lt.

Lashley is more of mixture of Lesnar/Angle/Taz in my opinion. He has the intensity of Angle, the power of Lesnar, and the suplexes like Taz. I hear Lashley can do alot more then a Belly to back suplex, and had a wider variaty of suplexes in the OVW. But either way, keep on putting Lashley in the ring with vets like Finlay and he will keep on improving. I really hope he wins KOTR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benn 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2006 I'm not a big Lashley fan, but this sounds like a very good idea to me. I don't exactly know why though. I'd like to see it if only to get Lashley in the ring against someone like Kurt Angle or Mark Henry rather than another feud with Finlay or going back to OVW which would hinder rather than help him IMO. He's getting some decent pops from the fans and I agree that he's developing really well on a larger stage with vets like Finlay and Benoit, so why ship him out of the spotlight? Smackdown on the whole seems to me to be doing better with their midcard development than does RAW anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lashley undefeated streak ending was the greatest thing to happen to him, because before then people just viewed him as a Goldberg/Lesnar wannabe. Now that they got his 1st lost, he is getting the best reactions of his short WWE career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2006 Raw Acquired via Lottery or Trade 1. Undertaker 2. Doug Basham 3. Ken Kennedy 4. Jillian Hall 5. Orlando Jordan Individual Wrestlers RVD---Has the MitB title shot for one year. I see him either cashing it in at the ECW PPV, I don't see him winning it with the MitB shot unless it is at the ECW show. Carlito---Feuds with Masters, continues to be an uppercard guy, but gets some big wins. Masters---Loses the feud to Carlito Kane & Big Show---Will lose the tag belts to the Spirit Squad when Vince puts all five of them vs. Kane and Show at the same time. These two feud for awhile afterward. Spirit Squad---Will be able to defend the belts with any two of the members. Some good stuff here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
