RepoMan Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 I hate when they go into commercial before they even try to get me interested in the match.
Angles Broken Fricken Neck Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 The day Taker finally retires will be a sad day, his entrance just makes the character.
Spaceman Spiff Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Oh, man, I can't wait until Taker retires.
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Fingers crossed Shane misses the Van Terminator.
RepoMan Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 The puggy bosse's son should obviously get in the most offense.
Exslade ZX Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 And....Shane just broke his back. He got up quite gingerly after that.
JPopStarKami Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Shane going over in the beatdown means Orton beats the shit out of him at NWO right?
Diamonddust Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Shane going over in the beatdown means Orton beats the shit out of him at NWO right? That's what it SHOULD mean...
YourKock'sReallyGreat Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Wow, what happened to the board. The last couple of weeks had at least two times as many messages.
Slickster Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Looks like Shane might be injured given he took about 3 minutes to recover from that highspot. That might mean the PPV match might look more like Cena/Jesus than Shane/Angle.
Perfection Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 I was so hoping shane was going to screw that up. And it looked like he almost didn't have enough in him to do it. Guy needs to realize he's in his 40s. Poor Ted, once again gets owned by shane with those all air punches too.
Silence Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Guy needs to realize he's in his 40s. Yet he still does that stupid dance.
strummer Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 well they made it obvious tonight that Stephanie is turning on Shane at the PPV. I think we were supposed to believe she was talking to Hunter on the phone in the backstage segment?
Angles Broken Fricken Neck Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 With Shane busting out the Coast II Coast on raw, will he have a new whacky idea to pop the crowd with on sunday?
The Niggardly King Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 I'm still holding out hope for a mid-air Shane heart attack.
Naked Snake Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Shane McMahon saved the Undertaker from a beatdown. Wow.
Silence Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Shane McMahon saved the Undertaker from a beatdown. Wow. This shit makes my head hurt too.
Precious Roy Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Shane going over in the beatdown means Orton beats the shit out of him at NWO right? That's what it SHOULD mean... What should happen is Orton completely destroying him for the entire match with Shane's "offense" consisting solely of flailing hope spots and the mere fact that he can take a severe beating from Orton and still just barely kick out of some pin attempts before he's finished off. His lone high spot should be getting Orton down and off of the offensive once late in the match. Other than that it should be total domination and destruction from Orton. Do that for 15 minutes or so and it results in a dramatic exciting match that puts Orton over like he should be, lets Shane get over as a tough guy without it being at Orton's expense, and firmly erases that ridiculous debacle of a couple weeks ago from the collective memory. My fear is that they do a somewhat even brawl and let Shane get in all his signature spots (boxing punches, flying elbow, kendo stick, garbage can hijinx, etc.). That would be terribly pointless. Shane should be in there to sell and get Orton over, nothing more.

strummer Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Guy needs to realize he's in his 40s actually he just turned 39 last month I would agree he looks older than that but almost everyone involved in wrestling does (except Festus)
cabbageboy Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Ha. No way is Shane going to show up to get killed based on what we've seen the past few weeks. Putting Orton against Shane was quite possibly the worst idea post Rumble they could have done to keep Orton's momentum. As far as Steph turning on Shane to side with Orton....why? If Steph turns heel they would quite literally be running the same "Evil Bitch GM" storyline on both shows, but Steph won't draw near the crazy heat that Vickie does on SD.
goldengreek Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 I knew goldengreek would be here for this moment. ??
bob_barron Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 The day Taker finally retires will be a sad day, his entrance just makes the character. I agree with Spiff, I'm going to be celebrating when that occurs.
TMC1982 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Flair looks like hes lost some hair. I came here to ask the same thing. It seems like Ric Flair has really aged badly in the past few years. I think the guy is almost 60, but he might as well be at least, 75. I mean, Vince McMahon is older than Flair, yet Vince somehow looks more fit and vibriant (even though I guess Vince has stopped dying his hair ) than the Nature Boy. Ric Flair just looks really weathered (perhaps from too much "wheeling, dealing, kiss stealing, jet flying and limousine riding") and used up at this stage in his life.
DrVenkman PhD Posted February 10, 2009 Author Report Posted February 10, 2009 I'm pretty sure we aren't supposed to think Stephanie was talking to HHH, at least out loud consciously. We're supposed to be thinking she was talking to Shane, but then do the "oh right, it makes sense that it was HHH" when that's the reveal. That's my take anyway. This was a good show in terms of building existing feuds and the PPV on Sunday (the Flair/Jericho segment in particular was very good) so I'm surprised this got such a low turn out, especially compared to last week (but I guess last week was a lot of 'OH NOES, CENA BEAT JERICHO!' nonsense).
garfieldsnose Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 I was so hoping shane was going to screw that up. And it looked like he almost didn't have enough in him to do it. Guy needs to realize he's in his 40s. Poor Ted, once again gets owned by shane with those all air punches too. Maybe you should stop watching wrestling. You always are clamoring for someone to get hurt or screw something up. Grow up.
Atticus Chaos Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 I think JBL's going to win at NWO, mainly because most people seem to be assuming HBK will win and that's the angle over with. I'm not sure where they go from there. A few weeks of Layfield forcing HBK to do a series of demeaning tasks, and this leads to match at wrestlemania? I don't know what they're thinking. They seem to be caught between wanting to end it now, and continuing it for a few months.

You always are clamoring for someone to get hurt or screw something up. Grow up. Seconded. And that goes for all the posters that apparently live to post that kind of stuff. No wonder this forums have been going downhill for quite some time.

Ric Flair just looks really weathered (perhaps from too much "wheeling, dealing, kiss stealing, jet flying and limousine riding") and used up at this stage in his life. I've said this before.. I think that Flair might have some form of diabetes. His aging process is starting to mirror what Johnny Cash went through. One year he looks his age... the next he looks 10 years older.. 2 years later he looks 20 years older, his face is all puffy and distorted looking. It's brutal. =\
