Mike the Metal Ed Posted 21 February 2014 Posted 21 February 2014 Stone Cold was talking to Jim Ross on his podcast this week, and said on Punk: "It started off as a shoot, it will turn into a work. CM Punk will re-appear for WrestleMania XXX. Mark my words - that's my prediction." I'm resigned to not seeing Punk at WrestleMania, but if he returns at the Rosemont Horizon in a couple of weeks, the reaction will be huge, so I can see WWE at least trying to talk to him before then.
leftbackinthechangingroom Posted 21 February 2014 Posted 21 February 2014 I can see punk returning the night after mania. If I was wwe why would I let a guy who walked out of the company get the big pay cheque? Personally I would bring him back as heel as I think he is a much better heel than babyface. As far as lita going in the hall of fame I'm all for it. Someone said something about sara del rey and no disrespect as you are right she is better but not all people who watch/ed wwe will know of her work as a lot of wrestling fans will know her some people will have just watched wwe and at the time lita was the only diva doing those things.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 21 February 2014 Posted 21 February 2014 All I want is for Punk to come back just for the Uk tour. I seem to get screwed out of seeing him every tour and I'm going to a house and tv show this time
CKB Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 So Hogan is officially back in the WWE and will be Mania guest host....Can't stand Hogan myself, never have liked him and just another reason i won't be tuning into the WWE anymore, i hate any product with that guy in it... The thing that makes me laugh is he fvcks off, goes to TNA drags that company right down to the shitter, takes his pay and then eventually leaves and the WWE welcome him back and give him the Mania host spot.. While a guy like Austin is being told the WWE has no plans for him at Mania 30, great logic WWE great fvcking logic...Saying that Austin actually does something outside of wrestling, something Hogan can't seem to do so it doesn't surprise me in one way that old leech is back
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 Never been that big on hogan either myself.

The only thing TNA had going for it was the weird ring and the x-division matches. He basically scrapped both and appeared on screen at every opportunity whilst at the same time, denying the actual talent face time ending up in them all buggering off.
Libertine Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 Been listening to Stone Cold's podcast a lot in the last few days. Cena has basically challenged him for WM31. Think Punk will come back but maybe not before Mania. Can't see there being any interesting match for him to return for now it looks like DB v HHH.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 23 February 2014 Posted 23 February 2014 Russo gaining full control killed TNA really. They had a decent year in 2011 with the Aries and Roode stuff when he was gone though.
BigAL88 Posted 23 February 2014 Posted 23 February 2014 i started watching when raw started basically(1992/3/4 i think and Vince was a commentator(my memory is shyte now)). and never looked back till 2002 then it all when tits up(for me anyhow) the NWO killed it because you knew when HHH started wrestling them, there was only one winner and this carried on for a year!!! against wrestlers who deserved more like Stiner and Goldberg and even Sting(not that he was in WWF but i wished he was at the time and he deserved it)((but i hated WCW so hey ho) no thanks)) . for me the ultimate warrior was the modern day rock(even tho he wern't) and razor along side HBK and diesel were my favorites(and sid of course). for me hulk will always be a legend and will always be HOF . in the last year all the signs are showing that Paul Levesque(HHH) is trying to, in parts, get the attitude era back, (but i would not expect the PG era to disappear til Vince passes away). i loved what the WWF was but as an adult i can appreciate what the WWE is now. regarding cm punk i think this is a work that will suprise many(it just stinks of an Austin type work(but i maybe wrong)) , but i do think he will leave in July when his contract expires . Daniel Bryan what can i say apart form (in my personal opinion) he will be as big if not bigger than the rock/ austin and i think he has the potential to carry the company
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 23 February 2014 Posted 23 February 2014 Odds for tonight if anyone is interested..... Orton is 1/25 to retain! I would love it though if Brock stole a chamber place from someone like i have seen it mentioned online in some places. Really dont want Orton vs Batista at WM, just another same old match. Wyatts will beat Shield and cost Cena too, leading to a WM match
LCFC_FAN_1995 Posted 23 February 2014 Posted 23 February 2014 I've had £3 on Darren Young to win tonight at 9/1 Anyone watching live? I am since on afternoon shifts
ollielcfc Posted 23 February 2014 Posted 23 February 2014 I've had £3 on Darren Young to win tonight at 9/1 Anyone watching live? I am since on afternoon shifts Where do you find these odds?
CKB Posted 23 February 2014 Posted 23 February 2014 His TNA stint was absolutely awful. The only thing TNA had going for it was the weird ring and the x-division matches. He basically scrapped both and appeared on screen at every opportunity whilst at the same time, denying the actual talent face time ending up in them all buggering off. Yup TNA actually wasn't awful to watch before that circus called Hogan and co arrived, don't get me wrong i've never been a huge TNA fan but it had a different feel but when old orange fart came into the company it became a WWE mark 2 show with less the budget and ex WWE wrestlers everywhere you looked.. I guess one thing is with Hogan coming to the WWE again he actually won't have much creative control, it won't be the Hogan show (i hope!) and we won't see him every week as he's not the boss in the WWE and will still have to be told what to do (i hope!).. Yes he's a so called star but the WWE have a number of stars who won't stand up for his shit and i hope Vince won't either, plus the good thing? the guy can't wrestle anymore, i don't even think he can do a leg drop or big boot anymore, so he shouldn't hog the limelight as much as he did in TNA Been listening to Stone Cold's podcast a lot in the last few days. Cena has basically challenged him for WM31. Think Punk will come back but maybe not before Mania. Can't see there being any interesting match for him to return for now it looks like DB v HHH. The Cena/Austin match was just abit of banter, i can't see it happening at all.. As an Austin fan i have more or less gave up with him ever having one more match, he's very happy with what he's doing, it took him 3 years to get over the fact he couldn't wrestle anymore and i just can't see it now Russo gaining full control killed TNA really. They had a decent year in 2011 with the Aries and Roode stuff when he was gone though. True that dick didn't help TNA at all, but without a shadow of a doubt Hogan and co didn't help either... Hogan said he had no creative control in TNA, i call that another one of Hogan's lies of course he did! He comes in and more or less a month after, this has changed, that has gone, etc, etc of course he had a big say it was clear he did... He had Dixie Carter in the palm of his hands and more or less called the shots Odds for tonight if anyone is interested..... Orton is 1/25 to retain! I would love it though if Brock stole a chamber place from someone like i have seen it mentioned online in some places. Really dont want Orton vs Batista at WM, just another same old match. Wyatts will beat Shield and cost Cena too, leading to a WM match Still haven't got a clue why they brought back Batista? he's shit in the ring and i don't think he's all that good on the mic either...oh wait yes i know why they did he's a HHH guy! I didn't have a problem with them bringing The Rock back, he paid his dues, he's great to watch so like i said that didn't bother me but Batista? come on? this is the best the WWE have to offer? him in the Mania main event?
CKB Posted 23 February 2014 Posted 23 February 2014 I've had £3 on Darren Young to win tonight at 9/1 Anyone watching live? I am since on afternoon shifts Mate you could have gave me that 3 quid! would have got a kebab with that, tut, tut at you throwing money away
LCFC_FAN_1995 Posted 23 February 2014 Posted 23 February 2014 Mate you could have gave me that 3 quid! would have got a kebab with that, tut, tut at you throwing money away Nah
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 23 February 2014 Posted 23 February 2014 To whomever said Bryan could be bigger than Rock or Austin is a buffoon. He has nowhere near the charm and charisma that those pair head. I know I probably sound like a grumpy old man at the age of 19 but it will never be the same as the WWF attitude era, wrestling as entertainment died the day it changed it's name. More of a soap opera these days with very little personalities which is why Vince & Co feel the need to bring back the old guard all the time (i.e Goldust, Outlaws, Rock, Hogan, Taker, etc)
Uncle Albert Posted 24 February 2014 Author Posted 24 February 2014 I'm giving the first hour a watch.. Really can't wait for Batista v Del Rio.

More of a soap opera these days with very little personalities which is why Vince & Co feel the need to bring back the old guard all the time (i.e Goldust, Outlaws, Rock, Hogan, Taker, etc) Bryan COULD be as big but it will take time, he still needs to perfect his mic skills aswell as while he's not bad he shouts far too much on the mic even when he's just normally talking! His charisma isn't nowhere near the likes of Austin/Rock yet but over time he could go close.... You are right the attitude era was amazing, raw on a Friday night was a must see! But unfortunately thing's aren't done on the fly no more, you have to go through this person to do that and that person to do this and promos are all scripted.. The talent is quite poor apart from a few people and that's some of the big reasons why we get this stale product and get in patches decent entertainment but nothing like the Attitude era .. Also alot of the talent are just scared to actually stand up and go hell to this, this is what i wanna do because the competition just isn't around anymore and they fear getting the sack... You could hop to WCW back in the day as the competition was there (which btw made Vince provide a better product aswell) but now you have TNA! PG era doesn't help but it's not the be all and end all either, if the WWE just went back to basics abit we i think would see such an improvement
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 24 February 2014 Posted 24 February 2014 On a side note, I've recently discovered the Attitude Era podcast, which looks back on every Pay Per View starting with WrestleMania XIV, reviewing them, and (lovingly) mocking the Wrestlecrap of that era. It's a great, warts and all, look back at an era which is usually universally praised. A few samples here: http://www.youtube.com/user/AEPodcast/videos?sort=dd&shelf_id=1&view=0 And the full thing: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/attitude-era-podcast/the-attitude-era-podcast
LCFC_FAN_1995 Posted 24 February 2014 Posted 24 February 2014 What a match Wyatt's vs The Shield was! Absolutely brilliant!
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 24 February 2014 Posted 24 February 2014 Predictable results. Looks like another Orton Batista bore fest at WM then. Wyatts match was good though
Uncle Albert Posted 24 February 2014 Author Posted 24 February 2014 The Wyatts v The Shield was the only match that entertained me. As soon as I seen that **** Kane comedown I just fast forwarded to the end of the match.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 24 February 2014 Posted 24 February 2014 Wyatts and Shield delivered, Batista's match disappointed me was hoping to find it funny. Overall poor show saved by the 6 man tag.
