RonL21 Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 I'm really surprised Cena has been so capable of avoiding injury despite a demanding workload and the spotfest matches. I don't ever remember Jeff Hardy missing a noticeable amount of time either for all that insane stuff he does...
RonL21 Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 It is possible that tonight Lashley can get the title back since he isn't as injured as first thought. True and I just now remember that that poster is for Vengeance in Late June but still you get the idea
canadafour Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Does anybody remember Jim Ross calling Undertaker Booger Red in 2002?? Also what does soup-bowl hands mean, Jim Ross would also say that about the Undertaker in 2002?
canadafour Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Does anybody post the Observer reports anymore???????????????????
Enigma Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Does anybody remember Jim Ross calling Undertaker Booger Red in 2002?? Also what does soup-bowl hands mean, Jim Ross would also say that about the Undertaker in 2002? It was "soup bone".
The Niggardly King Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 It is possible that tonight Lashley can get the title back since he isn't as injured as first thought. True and I just now remember that that poster is for Vengeance in Late June but still you get the idea But Cena is more mind boggling since he's classic roid shape right now, of maintaining a great amount of mass and still being cut. I'm still shocked he didn't severely fuck up his leg a few years ago when he was eliminated in the Royal Rumble.
theintensifier Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 I remember that. They show that spot in every "don't try this at home" video the WWE pumps out. The refs on the outside even did the "X" for him.
Art Sandusky Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Does anybody post the Observer reports anymore??????????????????? Only after mooches like you leave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Broward83 Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 The next WWE star to release an autobiography will be Batista when "Batista unleashed" comes out in October courtesy of Simon & Shuster. The co-author of Eric Bischoff's book, Jeremy Roberts, will be the co-author. [source: PWInsider.com] Why...?
mysterious_w Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Hmm.. his wikipedia page gives absolutely no details on what he did before wrestling. I reckon he was a bailiff for some reason.
EricMM Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 I seem to recall hearing that Cena was not on 'roids, but that could be incorrect... In fact, in retrospect, it probably is. He's no Lashley, but he's a lot bigger than Punk is.

Guest Johnny B Radd Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 According to a member of another forum that attended SmackDown last night. Undertaker vs Batista in a Steel Cage match was announced for next weeks SmackDown in Pittsburgh.

UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Batista was a noted nightclub bouncer before wrestling. Noted because he was one of those "take on a guy with a knife/gun" bouncers, who luckily never got killed. WWE Magazine has covered his past and told some interesting stories of big-time fights.
Mecca Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Ashley is apparently on thin ice........just around the time of the next Diva Search....
Spaceman Spiff Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Heh, "comfortable with her body". That'll change after you get hired.
Atticus Chaos Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 The belief in WWE is that RVD is done. His contract is up later this year and apparently negotiations are no longer ongoing. Personally, I don't believe anything is finalized until it's finalized, but people were under the impression it was pretty much finalized this week. RVD basically wanted to take some time off after his current deal expires, but still be paid a downside guarantee by WWE. They were not down with this idea, and so he said well, I'm not interested in staying. To me, this whole thing sounds like a game of hardball negotiations, largely on the part of RVD, but it may also be a case where they've determined that he doesn't want to go to TNA and is playing a game, and they're done playing. Either way, he's not gone until he's gone. Bryan Alvarez in this weeks f4w newsletter
Mike wanna be Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Looks like next week's main event will be the definitive answer to "Will he stay or will he go?". Re-sign and get the title, don't re-sign and job to the boss.
Thanks for the Fish Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 I wonder if ECW will be taped before SD! "just in case"...
Dandy Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 After reading discussion about Kennedy and the MITB in another thread, this booking idea hit me. What if Kennedy were to get a shot at the title without using his MITB. Winning a number one contender's match, ambushing the champ, getting a non-title win over the champ, winning the Rumble, etc. During the match, Kennedy sees that he can't beat the champ, grabs a chair, destorys the champ and gets DQ'ed. He immediately cashes in the MITB, and pins a beaten down champ for the belt. I could be wrong, but I believe that is an angle not mentioned when we talked about various booking strategies with MITB. Seems like a smart wrestler would do anything he could to put himself in that position, rather than be passive and wait for an opportunity when the champ was beaten down. In fact, I think it would be fun to have Kennedy constantly trying to take the champ out, either by himself, or getting someone else to try it. Could be a good extended storyline that pops up ever so often.
Guest Mr. Adam Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Out of curiosity, is the new IC Champ the kid that Cornette slapped around before he got fired? I think I remember reading his real name as Anthony Carelli.
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Out of curiosity, is the new IC Champ the kid that Cornette slapped around before he got fired? I think I remember reading his real name as Anthony Carelli. Yes, he's the guy who went crying to John Laurinaitis when the retired 150lb wrestling manager slapped him a few times.
Guest Mr. Adam Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Not even slighly impressed with that. On general principal alone he shouldn't have gotten a call up. Add that to his nondescript OVW shooter gimmick and... actually management do have a ridiculous record of this kind of stuff so disregard. My bad.

I sware people post the same speculation that RVD is leaving every week or so, something should be posted when something new actually happens.

I sware people post the same speculation that RVD is leaving every week or so, something should be posted when something new actually happens. This thread is for stuff like that. It's better than starting a thread for RVD updates.

Cornette shouldn't be slapping people around.
