Masked Heel 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2009 If the Million Dollar Kid had his daddy's gimmick with a 21st century twist he would get over as a heel so quick it wouldn't even be funny. Too bad they gave him the gimmick of Randy's bitch, that one never gets over, that is until he turns then their may be hope for him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2009 It'll probably get over for Cody Rhodes. He needs to add a little more muscle mass. Orton looks like a superstar, DiBiase looks like he'll be a superstar, but Rhodes just looks like a skinny white kid. Big props for him wearing boots that don the Tri-Force though.

notJames 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2009 Sometimes from far away, Orton looks like one of those overly-caricatured superheroes Arthur Adams draws. Overemphasized muscular limbs and skinny torso. The orange skin doesn't help, especially with his tattoo sleeves. It looks like he's got bruised arms. Speaking of discoloured skin, Christian looks like he's got scurvy. Much too yellow for my taste. Some people might start mistaking him for Yoshitatsu. (I can make that joke because I'm Asian.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2009 Yoshi doesn't really stand out to me. I was turned off immediately when he came out to generic Japanese music. Seriously, why throw ALL Japanese guys under the same 'oriental' type music? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2009 According to TMZ.com, WWE Hall of Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper was arrested on suspicion of DUI early this morning in Hollywood, California. Piper, whose real name is Roderick Toombs, was stopped by police at around 1:00 a.m. and given field sobriety tests. He was then arrested. His bond was set at $5,000.

notJames 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2009 Yoshi doesn't really stand out to me. I was turned off immediately when he came out to generic Japanese music. Seriously, why throw ALL Japanese guys under the same 'oriental' type music? It's that old Vaudeville edict... "Will it play in Peoria?" Vince is still under the impression that unless you play on the standard stereotypes, the "simple" folks in Smalltown USA who make up his constituency won't get it. That's why all all Russians are commies, all Hispanics talk like Speedy Gonzalez, and all Asians speak broken Engrish and come out to the same music. Jimmy Wang Yang is the exception... a horrible, horrible exception. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sluggo 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2009 With Edge gone for months with a torn ACL, I wonder what happens with the tag belts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2009 Off the top of my head, if Edge wrestles on SmackDown! this Friday night (taped last week) they could feasily find a bump that could explain his absence. I'd say they get hot-shotted to Legacy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Heel 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2009 Edge has the worst luck with injurys. At least he has some youth on his side unlike say Batista and proven main event runs unlike say Kennedy Kennedy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2009 There's talk about Edge possibly retiring. That ain't gonna happen. Edge should come back in eight months or so as a babyface. The fans would eat it up, they've been dying to cheer him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diamonddust 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2009 (Back from an extended hiatus here...) A friend of mine in Birmingham actually got to be on the crew to video Edge's surgery. Here is what he wrote in his facebook status about it: "just got back from St. Vincent's. I just watched a pro wrestler's achilles tendon get yanked out, stuck back together, and stuffed back in...neat." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masked Heel 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2009 always sucks when wrestlers get hurt, if I remember correctly he was working injured already Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2009 Yes, Edge was put into Jerichedge to help his injuries heal, Jericho was going to be the real workhorse of the side. It's such a shame, because they're an awesome combination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Heel 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2009 I miss Mike Knox. Has anyone heard anything about him, can't remember seeing him since he lost to Rtruth on Smackdown. Anyone think they might bring him back without the beard, which would be a huge mistake and probably cost him his job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Heel 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2009 Who has it worse these days in WWE Kendrick or Chavo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2009 Chavo i'd say. They both get the same number of wins from time to time, but Kendrick isn't nearly buried to the extent Chavo is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Live Free or Battlenuts 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2009 Jeremy Piven hosts Raw Aug 3. That's gonna be.... odd. This guest thing seems to be working pretty well for the WWE though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Heel 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2009 Chavo i'd say. They both get the same number of wins from time to time, but Kendrick isn't nearly buried to the extent Chavo is. One jobs to a midget one jobs to an old man I can't remember the last time either won. One likes his weed the other likes his aunt both would be better off in TNA or ROH Also if Ari shows up on Raw then it would be entertaining Jeremy Pivens tho I'm not so sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
