Enigma Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 I'm still amazed at how perfect Mayweather was for pro wrestling. They brought him in to be a face, but was such a dynamic jackass, it was impossible to not hate him. And since he was Floyd Mayweather, Stephanie and her booking goons weren't allowed to ruin him. He was just as much a shocking fit as Kevin Federline was, except that Mayweather can actually work a match. I expected Mayweather vs. Big Show to be a total disaster, but it was a very good job by both.
Thanks for the Fish Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 According to this weeks SD/ECW spoilers Matt Sydal's wwe name is Evan Bourne.
Silence Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 According to this weeks SD/ECW spoilers Matt Sydal's wwe name is Evan Bourne. Another made-up name. What's the point? I don't even know how WWE came up with Curt Hawkins and Zach Ryder since that's not even their real names.
Hawk 34 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Yet, they called him Matt Sydal during his ECW match. Stephanie must be a fan of Bourne movies. Maybe Sydal will be the son of Matt Borne.
GCWPatrick Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Guess it makes some sense since there's already a Matt on the roster...
Silence Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Guess it makes some sense since there's already a Matt on the roster... What about all the Chrises they've had over the years? There's also another Matt: Striker.
Enigma Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 According to this weeks SD/ECW spoilers Matt Sydal's wwe name is Evan Bourne. Another made-up name. What's the point? I don't even know how WWE came up with Curt Hawkins and Zach Ryder since that's not even their real names. The story was that Vince was pissed off when he found out they lied about being legit brothers. With the unexplainable exception of Undertaker & Kane, Vince hates marketing people as related when they aren't (which is why Edge & Christian were never referred to as brothers post-brand extension). So, he made them come up with new names for themselves. "Curt Hawkins" and "Zach Ryder" are what they came up with.
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Hawkins took the name Curt because Hennig was his favorite wrestler. Just to throw that out there.
DrVenkman PhD Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Zach Gowen was Ryder's favourite wrestler.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 One of these things is not like the other... One of these things does not belong...
LivingLegendGaryColeman Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 In the Bash poster at first I thought CM Punk lost his leg in the car wreck. Then I realized he is mid-step.
FroGG_NeaL Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 I though HBK's left leg was gone from the knee down at first. Cool poster, though.
LaParkaMarka Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 The best part about Raw was Umaga getting a face reaction for killing Cody Rhodes, then JR trying to play it off as respect for the Rock's grandfather or whatever. Good ol Umaga.
Hawk 34 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 They will have to pull the trigger on a Umaga face turn soon.
Hawk 34 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 This will probably have some people either excited or angry.
TheFranchise Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Hawk tells me it's Danielson. I thought it was, but couldn't believe it, so didn't want to sound stupid by saying 'omg, AmDrag on Raw!!!' Someone: No, it's not.
TheFranchise Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Although, bonus points if he grabbed the mic and proclaimed 'The winner, and still the best wrestler in the world'. Would be great.
DrVenkman PhD Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 And he won his match, too! Lance Cade never saw that Cattle Mutilation coming.
TheFranchise Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 I hope some day Danielson does make it onto WWE tv full time.. I don't watch ROH any longer and BD has always been a huge favourite of mine.
Silence Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Didn't Danielson once say in an interview that he was retiring after turning 30? I guess if he signs with WWE, we'll get to see him on TV (hopefully) before he retires.
Thanks for the Fish Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Danielson and Nigel should both be in the wwe by now. Dragon doesn't really have the wwe look though, and I don't know if he could work three minute matches - however if he wans a shot, he's earned it. He'd surely have to go to FCW, probably to get a tan and get a little bit bigger (and probably new ring gear). He can offer what no other current developmental and few main roster wrestlers can offer in the ring, but wwe is more than just in-ring ability. I do cringe at any possible gimmick they'd try and give him and wonder what ring name they'd come up with for him. Probably make him Regal's son or something. It's just a dark match and probably nothing will come from it, however Dragon has been on wwe's radar for ever and I believe ti was a situation that he had a contract waiting (developmental?) for him if he ever decided it wanted it.
The Niggardly King Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 WWE has wanted Danielson for a while now...

Dandy Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 See, that is why I was calling him James Jung when I was drunk. I knew it was something that sounded like that, but being drunk...I called him by the team's name.

I expected Mayweather vs. Big Show to be a total disaster, but it was a very good job by both. I love how the Mayweather / Show feud started because Floyd came to Mysterio's aid. Then of course before the match started, Rey got edited out of the build-up video.
