The Horse's Mouth Posted 5 February 2014 Posted 5 February 2014 Tbf only wrestling product I enjoy now is NXT.
LCFC1996 Posted 5 February 2014 Posted 5 February 2014 Quite enjoyed the TNA from Glasgow last week, some good young/fresh talent coming through. Tickets & hotel all booked for RAW, looking forward to it.
iamafox Posted 7 February 2014 Posted 7 February 2014 Apparently Sting is very close to officially signing with WWE. Word is there are no plans for him to compete at Wrestlemania this year. But it is possible Sting will work at next year's Wrestlemania.
Ross-Kemp Posted 11 February 2014 Posted 11 February 2014 Lita in the HOF Why is that a ?In 2000/2001 she was getting the biggest pops of the night except rock/Austin/foley. She was an amazing performer for a diva.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 11 February 2014 Posted 11 February 2014 Why is that a ? In 2000/2001 she was getting the biggest pops of the night except rock/Austin/foley. She was an amazing performer for a diva. She was alright I guess, she is overrated in terms of her wrestling ability. But HOF worthy? **** off. Most of her best times were just being a valet.
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 18 February 2014 Posted 18 February 2014 She was alright I guess, she is overrated in terms of her wrestling ability. But HOF worthy? **** off. Most of her best times were just being a valet. Sensational Sherri is in the Hall of Fame. As a wrestler, Lita was Womens' Champion four times, and as a valet, was much more active in "helping" the Hardy Boyz in their tag titles wins/reigns, same with Edge as World/WWE Champion. I guarantee Vickie Guerrero will be in before long, too. As far as recognising achievement in predetermined events goes, she's up there. Also, Antonio Cesaro is reportedly big with both Vince and Cena right now, so expect something of a push before WWE realise they don't care for former indy wrestlers.
FoxLAD Posted 18 February 2014 Posted 18 February 2014 It's all changed since it sacrificed entertainment for money.. witch is a real shame. I mean how long will they do the same story lines for? It really is becoming a joke.
leftbackinthechangingroom Posted 19 February 2014 Posted 19 February 2014 Just heard that viscera is dead aged 43 massive heart attack apparently which isn't too surprising given his size
Uncle Albert Posted 19 February 2014 Author Posted 19 February 2014 RIP Big Daddy V. -- In other FT WWE news, can't believe The Horse's Mouth has questioned Lita being in the HOF! She was absolutely fantastic back in the Attitude Era and for a woman she was the best of the bunch at wrestling.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 20 February 2014 Posted 20 February 2014 In other FT WWE news, can't believe The Horse's Mouth has questioned Lita being in the HOF! She was absolutely fantastic back in the Attitude Era and for a woman she was the best of the bunch at wrestling. She really wasn't all that, in terms of wrestling ability she is massively overrated. Imo her best time was probably with Edge and all she had to do then was stand there and look pretty. I also think when the likes of Rick Rude haven't been inducted and Lita is, it kind of cheapens it.

I bet you can't tell me another female wrestler who could do a swanton bomb, huricanrana from the top rope, take men throwing her from ladders and everything else she did? There are a number of wrestlers in the Hall of Fame, and you could be waiting a while for Rick Rude, pretty sure he left WWE under bad terms the first time he left and only returned for one year with DX and never wrestled. Maybe he will be inducted when DX are inducted in together but I strongly doubt a one time Intercontinental Champion is going to make the list ahead of Lita.

There's plenty of women that can do what you say and they're probably in the likes of Shimmer on the indies. I can't think of anyone who was in the WWE and that's usually because they pick failed models rather than real wrestlers. Are you saying Lita is more worthy than Rick Rude? if so I'll end this here.
Uncle Albert Posted 20 February 2014 Author Posted 20 February 2014 Are you sure you're not mixing Rick Rude up with Macho Man Randy Savage? Because yeah, I certainly am saying Lita is more worthy that Rick Rude, Rick Rude spent a total of 5 years in the WWE, winning one Intercontinental title. It's funny that you say there is plenty of women who can do what I said Lita could do, but failed to give me one name. Lita was brilliant, her and Trish Stratus were the only Divas you could put up with watching.
Hugo Sanchez Posted 20 February 2014 Posted 20 February 2014 But Rick Rude had his career cut short by injury. Rick Rude would had been WWF Champion were it not for Hulk Hogan. Rude also wrestled for wcw and did win their world title but got injured. Rude was a good wrestler with a great gimmick. Also fair play for walking out after Montreal in support of Bret Hart and walking on Nitro after he appeared on a taped Raw.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 20 February 2014 Posted 20 February 2014 Sara Del Rey. We can agree to disagree on Lita, but I'm intrigued now, do you think Jake the Snake Roberts is less worthy than Lita considering he won nothing within the WWE?

We can agree to disagree on Lita, but I'm intrigued now, do you think Jake the Snake Roberts is less worthy than Lita considering he won nothing within the WWE? I think Jake Roberts and Rick Rude are totally different, you can't compare them. Rick Rude quit WWE, like Hugo has said regarding the Screwjob and like I said not on great terms (my original post), Bret was included in the Hall of Fame because he is Mr. Wrestling, list of accomplishments, the best wrestler the company has ever had and it was the right thing to do.. Will WWE include Rick Rude? I doubt it, you never know though. The Rock is set to be the main inductee for the 2015 Hall of Fame ceremony.

I'd say they are quite similar if you strip it down, both of them had great potential to become the main guy but in Rude's case he had the injury and Roberts case he had his demons. I only brought it up because it seemed like the fact he was only an intercontinental champion was the reason for you why he shouldn't be inducted. The fact he left WWF on bad terms is fairly irrelevant, I mean a lot of the people inducted had problems with Vince one way or another, like Mr Wrestling Bret Hart as you mentioned. I personally think Rude deserves it, he had one of the best heel persona's in the industry and his ring work was superb which imo warrants him a place, and you've also got to put into account that the intercontinental title meant a lot lot more back then than it does today.

Yeah, you are right in what you are saying but I just can't see it happening. Just think Lita is deserving to go in there.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 20 February 2014 Posted 20 February 2014 I guess with Trish in there I suppose it's only fair, I've just never really been a fan of Lita at all and yeah I'll agree I don't see it happening especially with him dead makes things a lot harder.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 20 February 2014 Posted 20 February 2014 Vince has described Punk's absence as a sabatical
CKB Posted 20 February 2014 Posted 20 February 2014 Vince has described Punk's absence as a sabatical = it's all we can say at the moment until we release him from his contract
CKB Posted 21 February 2014 Posted 21 February 2014 = it's all we can say at the moment until we release him from his contract Saying that though the WWE seem to forget someone ever existed when they leave, so i take that back.. When he's released it will probably be "CM Who??" and that 400 odd day reign will be ignored forever unless he returns in the future then it will be "ohhh CM Punk yeah we remember you!"
