I still think WWE is somewhat cheap. WWF was powerful. :shifty:

[Rappy Veteran]

Yeah but all I think of now is World Wildlife Foundation

[Loso]

the hogan era to the attitude era to this post-attitude era and the attitude era was he best by far. Now the wwe programming is PG rated and that limits a whole lot of what they can do. Looking forward to seeing some guys debut or re-debut this coming year.

Vince returns....Orton punts him in the head and he's gone again :p

[TheElite]

Damn.

Vince loves getting disgraced in his own company.

[Rappy Veteran]

Mike sent the following: So after C.M. Punk won the title tonight, I did some research. Punk became a triple crown champion (World, Tag Team, Intercontinental) faster than anyone else in the company. From his first title reign (June 30, 2008) to tonight (January 19, 2009), it has been 203 days. The only person close to that was Kevin Nash who became a triple crown champion in 227 days. Don't know if this means anything in the long run, but it is interesting to see Vince solidify him in history like this.

Good to see Punk getting some screen time (Y)

[Victor Rambo]

Can't wait for Royal rumble. :D

Yep, one of the few "newer" guys that I like.

[Rappy Veteran]

Oh joy another Edge reign *sighs*

[Rappy Veteran]

Matt turning on Jeff!!! but even more RVD!!!! he returns well probably for one night only but who cares get that dude into the money in the bank at mania he is PPV right there!

Orton winning tho so predictable I could of guessed it 6 weeks back.

[Victor Rambo]

a mofo at other forum spoiled the royal rumble for me. :angry: :crazy:

[red.]

I think it was pretty obvious that Orton was going to win the Rumble and that Edge would win the title due to someone helping Edge out. The only question with the SD match was whether Christian or Matt was revealed as the attacker.

[Rappy Veteran]

I was hoping it was Christian tbh, I think the brother vs brother storyline is going to be crap.

It felt a bit "last minute change" to me. I don't see a Hardy vs Hardy feaud accomplishing anything new.

As for Orton. Sure we all knew he would win, but I like it. His little stable is being built nicely. His attitude of "one of us or **** off" is good - not just randomly siding with other heels. But moreover, I just don't see where this is going - which in some ways I like.

Mickey Rourke has called out Jericho for Wrestlemania!

Supposedly he is in training for Wrestlemania 25.

[+Nik Louch Subscriber²]

I don't think Vince will touch anything to do with that film.

That said, he could instruct Jericho to play stiff and show Rourke up... But Rourke is pretty badass anyhow.

I heard he invited him to do WM to show what real Wrestlers go through, Rourke was telling people a the screen actors awards last night.

[SolidSapphire]

I think it's a pretty good idea. They always try and do something special. Hence the whole Mayweather ordeal last year.

[Victor Rambo]

Wrestlemania 25 is gonna be awesome. :D

Rumor says undertaker's streak will be broken. :o :p

[Rappy Veteran]

Pretty much confirmed now its in the works

We are back and Chris Jericho comes to the ring and he is dressed like Randy Orton?s therapist. Chris has something to say and he mentions that it seems like the entire WWE roster has been raving about The Wrestler starring Mickey Rourke. Time for a clip from the movie.

Chris Jericho says that one of the people who gave it a glowing review was WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair. Even though Flair is retired, he has to stay in the spotlight that he craves. Now Mickey Rourke and Flair became friends. Jericho thinks that Flair gave Rourke some bad advice. We go to comments from Mickey at the SAG Awards when Mickey challenged Chris Jericho.

Chris says that he is going to say it very slowly. He says that Mickey Rourke is out of line. It is one thing to play a wrestler, it is another thing to be one. Jericho says that he has been offended. Jericho says that it is the last thing that Rourke or Flair would want to do and that is offend Chris Jericho.

[red.]

Yeah i heard Vince pretty much did a u-turn as far as The Wrestler is concerned. Wanting to cash in on the buzz, which isn't a bad idea.

BTW i saw the Rumble and Cena managed to overcome the odds again...

Jericho has been known as a bit of a hooker, probably one of the better ones left. I would think Vince is protecting himself a bit by using Jericho. Not that Rourke is a pushover, but Jericho would not have much of a problem with Rourke.

Sadly tho when it comes to fad matches at mania the celebrity always wins.

True enough and in that case Jericho is still a good choice as he can carry almost anyone to a decent match. Jericho can probably even lose without losing too much heat even. Rourke's background as a boxer and an actor might actually make this match not terribly painful to watch.

[Victor Rambo]

Floyd Mayweather Vs Big show match sucks at WM24. :laugh:

Even though show was heel yet crowds were supporting him. :p
