Jericho FTW.

Seriously, if he doesn't win, I would be really mad at WWE

You're really mad then.

:p

Seriously, I never expected them to actually book Sheamus to win.

Same Here

The last elimination really made me angry. I wonder what

Jericho's

involvement be in wrestlemania now. No storyline for him yet sooooo.... who is going to start a rivalry with him now? He is the only guy in WWE right now who evokes a real reaction from me atleast. Hopefully something good is in store for his storyline coz he is one hell of a performer. Loved his match against

edge

at wrestlemania (was it last year or the year before?)

I bet he'll be in a WrestleMania event anyway. The most likely scenario is that he'll face

CM Punk for the WWE title

, which we expected to be cemented in place by him winning the Royal Rumble, but obviously the creative team have other plans. I guess they're trying to give SmackDown more exposure, so that would explain

Sheamus

winning the match; he'll go for the World Heavyweight Championship, while on RAW,

Jericho

will start a rivalry with

Punk

to get his WM title match.

[episode]

There are plenty of ways to get a WM Title shot now. Elimination Chamber is the next one. The End of the World was just delayed. He's either going after Punk or Taker. Both are fine with me.

Don't know why you're spoiler tagging wrestler's names, especially since you are giving a ton away in non-tags.

[philixus1988]

Where is taker anyway? i havent been seeing smackdown or raw lately. Too much work IRL but i dont think he has been in a mtach since last year. Does he have a regular contract or a legends contract now?

No idea about his contract, but you're right, he hasn't been a match since WrestleMania 27 last year. His body has pretty much confined him to only one or two matches a year now. WrestleMania 28 will almost certainly be his final match to round the streak off at 20-0. Although there has been talks about holding WrestleMania 29 in Undertaker's hometown of Houston and having him retire there.

I'm a bit disappointed that that they've gone with Undertaker vs. Triple H yet again. Same as last year, and it'll be the third time they've faced each other at WrestleMania now. :/

At least Jericho vs. CM Punk is finally starting to come to fruition. We've pretty much got four WrestleMania matches confirmed now: Jericho vs. Punk for the WWE title, Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus for the World title, Undertaker vs. Triple H, and Cena vs. Rock.

[philixus1988]

Daniel bryan is an anomaly for me. He has great in-ring skills but no mic skills what so ever and he is not charismatic like Punk. Though i believe if pure wrestling match was done b/w the two bryan imo will come out on top but since its sports entertainment Daniel Bryan is an anomaly.

I dont like the Undertaker vs HHH match myself. But there is no other superstar in the wwe who is of Undertaker's stature and if taker's streak has to be broken better HHH do it than anyone else.

Rock and Stone cold defined an era more so than Hulk hogan or andre the giant and i hope he wipes the floor with cena lol. I have always been indifferent to cena i have pretty much got no opinion about him whatsoever. I respect his work ethic and thats pretty much about it.

Looking forward to the elimination chamber though... how are the writers gonna help bryan defeat what seems like would be a match with Big show, Mark Henry, Cody Rhodes and umm.... who else is big on smack down these days? These are big odds. It better be good writing coz otherwise its pretty much unthinkable that bryan will win in elimination chamber. I feel sorry for big show though the guy deserves a title reign more than anyone else right now.

Yeah, Sheamus will definitely get the win at WM. I do agree about Bryan's lack of charisma; despite his amazing wrestling skills, it's sadly more about how good you are on the mic nowadays instead of in the ring.

I dont like the Undertaker vs HHH match myself. But there is no other superstar in the wwe who is of Undertaker's stature and if taker's streak has to be broken better HHH do it than anyone else.

Well, they could have brought someone back for the match. I personally would have loved to see Undertaker vs. Lesnar after watching Lesnar announce his retirement from MMA. Yes, their Hell in a Cell match was terrible, but I'd rather see anything besides the same match as last year again (except maybe Undertaker vs. Kevin Nash :p ). Randy Orton would have been a good candidate, but I suppose the biggest problem here is they need a superstar who's as big as the Undertaker, but also as past their prime, fitness-wise so they don't completely outclass Undertaker, so yeah, sadly, Triple H is the only one the really fits that bill (although I'd argue that Triple H is still better than Undertaker in that field)

Rock and Stone cold defined an era more so than Hulk hogan or andre the giant and i hope he wipes the floor with cena lol. I have always been indifferent to cena i have pretty much got no opinion about him whatsoever. I respect his work ethic and thats pretty much about it.

Personally, I've stopped caring about this match now. :p It's being overhyped, and it's portraying The Rock essentially as a hypocrite, as he promises to stick around, and then doesn't make an appearance for several months.

In Cena's favour though, I loved this:

:laugh:

[philixus1988]

The picture is damn funny lol but still i wouldnt wanna see PG era win over the Attitude era i mean come on. I used to plan my monday around the show damn it and now i just watch every other PPV when i have free time.

I miss those days lol i guess

Anyhoo as far as lesnar is concerned i somehow doubt he will come to wwe. Him and goldberg had one of the worst wrestlemania matches ever.

[htcz]

Having Undertaker beat Triple H for the third time is really boring....Id make it a Hell In A Cell match (since both have been in so many), kill Undertaker's streak and be done with it.

I'd personally rather just see anyone but Triple H yet again. Things aren't looking really good for WrestleMania XXVIII at the moment. Let's hope they make CM Punk vs. Stone Cold happen...

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Undertaker' streak wont end. No matter who he' facing. Thats for sure.

That said, I, too, wouldn't like a rematch here with Triple H. At least not a one fall one. Make it a no rules submission match or a count to 10, which one is it, that when the opponent remains down for 10 count, you win?

THAT one

Alberto Del Rio Says He Legitimately Hates The Miz...and Others in The Locker Room

Alberto Del Rio recently appeared on San Francisco's 95.7 radio station. Here are the highlights:

His Groin Injury: Del Rio said he "completely tore" his groin. He said it was the worst injury a man can suffer "Now I'm running, jumping, and ready to roll into the ring."

Not Liking Other WWE Wrestlers: "To be honest, I don't like most of the guys".

Legitimately Not Liking The Miz In Particular: "The Miz, I hate The Miz. This is not part of the show. I really dislike like that guy. I've tried to punch him in the face several times, not in the ring, I mean outside the ring. He's like a little girl. He's always running away from me ... There's a big difference between The Miz and I," Del Rio said. "I'm a real athlete. He's just a loud, stupid little kid. He's one of those guys who was probably bullied when he was in school and that's the reason now that he's so loud and he wants to get attention from everybody."

When asked about wrestling groupies, he replied: "They're interesting," he said. "That's all I'm going to say .. There are some ladies who really enjoy wrestling and they enjoy wrestlers."

My Personal Opinion on This:

Del Rio said: "To be honest, I don't like most of the guys". If I was Del Rio, I be real careful about making comments like that because those guys in the locker room can make his life very difficult, especially if one of those guys he dislikes happens to be John Cena, Triple H, Randy Orton, Undertaker or someone that management and Vince happens to like a lot. If he wants to keep his job, he better keep his comments about his peers all to himself, unless he wants to end up on the "future endevours" list.

Well said. With that shoot interview, ADR has done nothing but generate a load of backstage heat, and if there was a push planned for him, consider it cancelled. I'll be surprised if he doesn't get released by the end of the year.

And while he's dishing out the insults, I'll return the favour somewhat with this...

Speaking of the WWE writers, I swear Vince Russo has planted someone in the creative team. Take Natalya, one of the WWE's few divas (at the moment) who can actually wrestle (alongside Beth Phoenix, Tamina, and AJ), they put her in a storyline where she farts. My avatar says it all (including the obligatory "f**k this company" tagline).

What an awesome video. He got his ass kicked!.....LOL...Thanks for that. Yes I agree that Vince is taking the company in the wrong direction. The PG rating simply doesn't cut it. I miss the good 'ole Stone Cold attitude days where he would come out, drink beer, flip his finger and do crazy things to make Vince's life miserable. Those were the fun days. The WWE of now really sucks. It is boring, boring, boring.

[MightyJordan]

The WWE of now really sucks. It is boring, boring, boring.

And sadly, it's the best we've got. TNA has a better women's division, but everything else is so diabolically bad, I avoid it at all costs (it's essentially a retirement home for "future endeavored" WWE superstars, and a huge obsession on Hulk Hogan). Ring of Honor has alright wrestling, but that's pretty much it; no good storylines, and no real personalities (Jim Cornette is the only personality of any kind there).

Oh, while I've mentioned TNA, what the hell is the obsession with Crimson? Rightful winner of WON's "Most Overrated Wrestler" award...

This is pretty much driving crazy:

Oh the WWE Women's Division...What a joke that is. None of those chics can actually wrestle, except for Beth Phoenix, Natalya and Tamina. Kelly Kelly is nothing but a pretty face being kept around to turn on the male audience and keep them coming back. The others are a complete joke. The matches suck. They don't even last 2 minutes. I honestly don't even know why they bother setting up matches like that if they are only going to be "wrestling" for 2 minutes or less. It's simply a waste of time and an insult to the true wrestling fan.

They are just there for 5 - 6 minutes of 'entertainment'

Even if you include the entrances, that's still more than they usually get nowadays, unless it's one of those god-awful 8-diva tag team matches again. :laugh:

It's high-brow, real American entertainment poised at the true Wrestling fan.

Sorry, I have no idea. And it looks like no one in the comments on the video have any clue either. It's most likely an in-house piece of music; if that's the case, then I'm afraid you won't hear it anywhere outside of that promo, unless by some freak occurrence, it ends up as a superstar's entrance theme. :p
