Bret hart's accident on raw was so bad/fake. lol

Yeah, a lot of the injuries look fake. They need to make them look real or stop doing them.

[Mazhar]

I think Bret Hart's injury storyline is done to make the Bret vs. Vince match into a tag team match involving Batista and Cena.

looks like there's no money in the bank match at wrestlemania this year!

While nothing is official, it appears the Money in the Bank ladder match is off the card for WrestleMania this year. There was talk just last week about starting the qualifying matches on RAW this coming week. As of Thursday, none of the talent had been told anything. That shows you how quickly things in WWE. The belief is that with the new Money in the Bank pay-per-view coming in a few months, the match at WrestleMania will be postponed until then. We hope to have more by Monday evening prior to RAW. It should be noted that this has upset many WWE wrestlers because it is a big payday to be on the WrestleMania card for at least 6 to 8 guys that may not get a shot now.

We reported several days ago that WWE recently issued a new survey asking fans what PPV event themes they would like to see it the future, and one of them was a Money in the Bank PPV concept which would see the show headlined by a Money in the Bank Ladder match as WWE runs at Wrestlemania every year.

It appears as if the Money in the Bank PPV is now official, as WWE is advertising it, along with 2 other new PPV concepts to its 2010 PPV schedule. They are as follows:

-WWE Wild Card will take place on May 23rd.

-WWE Fatal Four Way will take place on June 20th.

-WWE Money in the Bank will take place on July 18th.

It has yet to be confirmed whether or not WWE will be booking or scrapping the Money in the Bank Ladder Match for this year's Wrestlemania

all 3 ppvs are listed on WWE.com in the PPV schedule about half way down the main page

I hope it stays at wrestlemania will be dumb to lose it :(

[LOC Veteran]

Well we're gonna have a new champion on RAW in a few minutes as HHH just pinned the really white guy and it's down to HHH and Cena (ugh, there goes the new blood thing).

Annnnnnd Cena won it. Interesting they'd put the strap on him if he's gonna wrestle Batista at WM with the whole McMahon/Hart thing going on with it.

OK NM, Vince came out and made a quick match with Cena and Batista. Which Batista won really quick and is now the RAW Champion...wtf lol I'm waiting for Bret to come out but I guess not.

[LOC Veteran]

Thank god Jericho is champion again. At least until Edge beats him at WM anyways :D

[Mazhar]

The thing that disappointed me is that HHH tapped out to Cena!!! He shouldn't have agreed to do that AGAIN!

The main events at Mania, in my opinion are going to be:

Edge vs. Jericho and Batista vs. Cena

It shouldn't be Edge vs. Batista because we have seen that match on smackdown. So doing it on big stage will spoil Mania.

Mania looks strong in my opinion except for Edge vs. Jericho match.

[LOC Veteran]

You think Edge vs. Jericho won't be a strong match?? It'll probably either a Match of the Year candidate or runner up! :)

[Mazhar]

You think Edge vs. Jericho won't be a strong match?? It'll probably either a Match of the Year candidate or runner up!

Yeah probably.

[The Teej]

You think Edge vs. Jericho won't be a strong match?? It'll probably either a Match of the Year candidate or runner up! :)

Precisely this. I think people have forgotten how good Edge really can be - Jericho and Edge go way back so they'll definitely put on one stellar show.

wait didnt undertaker have the title.... not following this much atm..

[Mazhar]

wait didnt undertaker have the title.... not following this much atm..

Yes Undertaker was the champion but he lost at the Chamber match. Taker and Jericho were 2 last men, HBK interfered and screwed Taker out of the title.

[LOC Veteran]

Undertaker had the title yes. HBK came into the Chamber and superkicked Taker at the end and let Jericho win the title off him.

And in case you didn't hear, Taker got burned (apparently just slightly though) during his entrance pyro :(

[Rappy Veteran]

some interesting results there

Surprised about the Raw chamber match, though Sheamus would retain and have a match with HHH at Mania. As for the SD! one, well i pretty much called it a few weeks back but it was pretty obvious things were going to go down that way.

Seemed from some reports that there seemed to be a lot of stalling going on instead of matches, is this true?

[Rappy Veteran]

I can';t wait to watch NxT this week actually, going to be good to finally see Bryan Danielson debut!

[truba11a]

idk about anyone else but imo EC was awesome i think maybe finally because of tna going live in a few weeks, wwe has started stepping up kind of anyways lol i really enjoyed the 2 main events =]

[Lord Nite]

I am going to enjoy the Monday Night Wars starting up again. IMO that was when WWF and WCW were at their prime. I'm actually glad to see TNA get a big push from Spike.

Concerning the Elimination Chamber . . . Nevermind. I'd get banned for the things I want to say. :blink:

[Rappy Veteran]

World Wrestling Entertainment spokesman Robert Zimmerman told the St. Louis based Riverfront Times newspaper that Undertaker's fire accident at last night's Elimination Chamber pay-per-view was due to "a mistiming with the pyrotechnics."

He added that Undertaker was only allowed to perform after being cleared by a ringside physician.

"Thank God he was fine," Zimmerman said. "It basically amounted to a sunburn. It wasn't over a large area of his body, just a short area, just a little bit on his chest."

When asked if the incident will cause WWE to review or change their procedures for having flamethrowers as part of their productions, Zimmerman replied, "I don't know. I haven't spoken to anyone to find out what was the cause, if it was timing, if there was something wrong with whatever. We have to go back and investigate and make a final determination."

Via Twitter, Jim Ross also commented on Taker's fiery mishap.

"Undertaker is ok from what I understand but "lucky." He's a tuf as they come w/o question."

[LOC Veteran]

He might be fine, but he sure as hell wasn't happy about it :( (I wouldn't be either, duh)

[Growled Member]

When asked if the incident will cause WWE to review or change their procedures for having flamethrowers as part of their productions, Zimmerman replied, "I don't know.

In other words, no. They'll continue on like they are until someone gets seriously hurt.

[LOC Veteran]

Apparently WWE is looking to see if they have a tight angle shot of the fire incident from last night, and want to have HBK be the one who "caused" it. LOL

And did you guys hear about Ric Flairs wife being jailed for beating him up supposedly with hand held weapons or something? I guess she got tired of all the space mountain jokes :(
