WWE to look for different top superstar instead of John Cena soon???

Leave a comment

Reports around the world of wrestling news, are saying that the WWE could be looking for someone new to take over the top spot as a main event superstar. For the last several years or more, the WWE has been shoving John Cena in our faces. Acting like he’s the next Hulk Hogan. Cena, being the hero and the face of the WWE. Well, it looks like those days will finally be over for him ’cause Cena is getting older, and with his age, it may be pretty silly to keep the superhero thing going for him. If they’re looking for a new top superstar, that would be the best time to turn Cena heel, they probably will, hoping.

WWE is looking at Sheamus “The Celtic Warrior” to take over the top spot, but the only problem is, Sheamus’s age.

Usually top babyfaces in WWE are always young guys. Remember, when Hulk Hogan used be around WWE years ago, he was young.

There are other guys in WWE right now that are worth that recognition maybe. In my opinion, if they want a young guy that will fit along the lines of Austin, the Rock (who were young back in the Attitude era), I would pick Wade Barrett, but again, his age, he’s 32. I think the Miz or Daniel Bryan could be the best choice.

See the article, here.

If it’s true that they are finally gonna cut some slack on Cena, that’s cool. I’m getting sick of the guy myself like most wrestling fans.

The Top 15 Best WWE feuds of all time…

Leave a comment

Well, we had the top 15 worst wrestling angles of all time, here are the ones that I thought were the best. These are just my opinion. The storylines in wrestling that I thought was very well done and were pretty amazing.

Here’s the list in no particular order:

  • Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Vince McMahon – Indeed. I had to list this one first ’cause this is the greatest rivalry of all time. Nothing else would come even close.
  • Andre vs. Hulk Hogan – Back when Hogan “used” to be something special. Back then was true Hulkamania. Now Hogan is a washed up loser.
  • Bret the Hitman Hart vs. Owen Hart – This was one of my favorite feuds ever. Owen made a badass heel too.
  • Mankind vs. Undertaker – Everything about this feud was amazing, especially their classic Hell in a Cell match, which made Foley for who he is today. This is one of the best feuds in WWE history for sure.
  • Ultimate Warrior vs. Hulk Hogan – Their unforgettable match at Wrestlemania 6 is a childhood classic for every wrestling fan.
  • Mankind vs. The Rock – Another great Foley feud but with the Rock, back in the attitude era. Loved everything about it!
  • Cactus Jack vs. Triple H – Yes, another great Foley feud with Triple H. Their Hell in a Cell match at “No Way Out – 2000” was phenomenal. Foley would have the greatest matches.
  • Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat, Flair vs. Shawn Michaels at WM-24, Flair vs. Randy Savage – A three way tie for Ric Flair. Flair had many great wrestling rivalries but those three were his best.
  • John Cena vs. Randy Orton – As much as I’m no fan of John Cena at all, I’ll admit that he had some excellent matches with Randy Orton over  the years.
  • The Rock vs. Hulk Hogan – This was when Vince McMahon made the debut of nWo in WWE, they ended up feuding with the Rock, Hogan turned into a babyface ’cause of it. While the nWo angle in WWE didn’t last long, it was a beautiful storyline. Felt like Hulkamania all over again too. This feud will be looked at as a classic for sure.
  • Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Benoit – I probably shouldn’t list Benoit on these lists, but I thought the Guerrero vs. Benoit was one of the greatest rivalries in history, such a shame what Benoit turned out to be though.
  • Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar at WM, Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels – WM 21 – Tie for Kurt Angle. Please come back. We miss the “You suck”, chants!
  • Nexus takes over the RAW set – This was one of the greatest things to ever happen in the PG era of WWE. I don’t think WWE will be able to top something like that. Nexus became lame after that though.
  • The Rock vs. Stone Cold – Another unforgettable feud back in the attitude era.
  • nWo vs. WCW – I love the nWo take over of WCW. It lasted for a long time back in the day, pretty long feud. The nWo kept going, adding way too many members. I liked Hogan being the heel back then too. The nWo were my favorite wrestling stable. I think they’re gonna come back in the PG era somehow.

There were many great feuds, storylines in WWE, is just hard to list them all. I’m probably forgetting plenty.

Storylines in WWE that were done in bad taste and were offensive…top 15 list…

6 Comments

A reader requested that I should name a list of bad storylines in WWE that were offensive? I can do that easily. I would name 15 of them in no particular order:

  • Triple H’s necrophilia storyline Katie Vick – Yep, WWE actually showed Triple having sex with a dead body in a casket. I’ll never forget it.
  • Mae Young gives birth to a hand – I understand they were trying to be funny but it wasn’t.
  • Billy & Chuck gay wedding – Back in 2002 on Smackdown, WWE had their very first gay wedding. That was one of the worst segments ever. There is no hate against gays here, but the storyline was just badly done. I remember this storyline got some publicity though as it started making the news.
  • Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio – Dominick custody battle – Before Eddie’s death, he was a heel at the time and he was feuding against Rey Mysterio over the custody of Dominick a child. While Eddie did make one of the greatest heels of all times, it was very offensive that WWE used a young child in a dark storyline. Really WWE? Even if it was acting, a child should not have to witness something like that because children would think it’s real. Children would think differently.
  • Big Show’s father dying – Around this time Big Show was in a big feud with the Big Boss Man (before his death obviously). They did a storyline where WWE did a funeral on TV and the Boss Man came and stole the casket. Big Show’s actual father died in real life before this storyline happened. Lame, WWE, lame.
  • Anything involving Hornswoggle! – This is one of the worst wrestling characters ever created. Everything WWE has done with Hornswoggle over the last several years, was fuckin’ stupid! Come on, get rid of this character. He is not TV worthy.
  • Vince McMahon’s limo death, Vince McMahon’s Greater Power, Vince McMahon vs. God – Three way tie for Vinnie Mac. I’ll never forget the Greater Power Corporate Ministry revealing and the Vince McMahon vs. God. Look up Vince McMahon vs. God where he actually thought he was god.
  • DDP turning out to be the stalker of Undertaker’s wife – It was around the time that Undertaker was the American Bad Ass, and his wife Sarah has been getting an anonymous stalker. Turned out to be Diamond Dallas Page. Worst storyline ever, and done in terrible taste. Bad, WWE, shame on you.
  • The anonymous RAW GM – If I can think of a bad storyline in the PG era of wrestling, this was it. This was ridiculous, although the only thing I liked about it was that it helped put Michael Cole over as a heel. Then it was revealed that Hornswoggle was behind the computer all along at RAW 1000. Lame.
  • WCW Invasion angle – It started off interesting but then it got lame and lamer.
  • Val Venis and John Wayne Bobbit angle – Need I say more? Choppy choppy, your pee pee. Yes, John Wayne Bobbit himself was involved in a wrestling angle.
  • Gobbledy Gooker – I understand it was around Thanksgiving at the time of Survivor Series 1990, but that segment was stupid and offensive. I do respect Hector Guerrero but that was really lame of WWE to do back then.
  • The RAW walkout – If I can think of another storyline that was done in bad taste during the PG era, was when Triple H being COO, and everyone on the RAW set walked out on him. Lame.
  • Brock Lesnar return – Lesnar first returned to WWE the day after the last Wrestlemania. While it’s exciting that he is back, the WWE are using him wrong and destroying his character. I thought he would come back strong, but the recent storylines they are doing with him are pretty lame and stupid. They need to make him look like a monster that he was before, but they make him look weak instead.
  • RAW Celebrity Guest Hosts – This was probably the stupidest thing the WWE ever done. I think I gave up on RAW around this time because of this going on. Although I’ll have to say that Bob Barker and David Hasselhoff both gave the best performances out of everyone though.

That’s it, enjoy!

Brock calls Jerry “The King” Lawler heart attack scare on RAW, a work, aka storyline…

10 Comments

I don’t mean to be an ass, but I’m gonna be the first one to call on it. I truly believe that Jerry Lawler’s fatal heart attack scare on RAW was definitely a work. It’s part of a storyline. You can’t believe what’s seen in WWE anymore, it’s just sad. It was just really good acting and writing, trying to make the whole thing seem realistic, and they did a good job in getting people to believe this one.

Jerry Lawler himself just did a Tout video at Montreal Hospital, see it, here.

The man is looking perfectly healthy, already. Talking like a normal person and looking good. When you have a fatal heart attack, I assure you, you’re not going to be looking good like that, right away. You would be getting multiple heart surgeries and all that stuff. I’ve known people who had fatal heart attacks, and there is no way in hell they would be up walking and talking right away.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Jerry would be back on RAW this coming Monday. If this was real, he would be forced to retire and there are already reports saying he may return to the announcer table and yes, wrestle again. Please.

I already called it that it could be a possible work as soon as it happened, anyway.

Brock sends out thoughts and prayers, to Jerry “The King Lawler”…

6 Comments

I didn’t watch all of RAW last night, just the final half of it, but when I switched the TV to RAW, I was seeing Michael Cole announcing that Jerry “The King” Lawler collapsed from the announcer chair to the floor while commentating during a wrestling match. Michael Cole claimed it wasn’t part of a storyline that it’s a real life situation, ’cause it’s hard to believe what you see on WWE TV these days. Turns out that Jerry Lawler suffering heart attack on the RAW show last night in Montreal was real.

I hope Jerry pulls through and survives. If he dies, this would be a tragic loss in the wrestling community. He has always been important to us. He’s a true wrestling legend, indeed. While most wrestling legends retired and moved on, Jerry, never did, he kept working. He may have to retire now after this though, if he survives.

Lawler was in the middle of an on TV feud with CM Punk too.

Get well soon, Jerry. I’m praying for him and you should too.

While it is upsetting about Jerry, I was even more disappointed with the terrible RAW crowd last night. There was NOT one chant for Jerry Lawler last night. Instead, those fuckin’ Canadians chanted for Bret Hart all night. If last night’s RAW was in the United States, I’m pretty sure we’ll all be chanting for Jerry, but what do you expect in Canada?

I’ll confess that WWE is shit right now…

1 Comment

I did watch “Summerslam” ppv last weekend and it was one of the worst ppv’s I’ve ever seen. WWE is really going down the shitter with this stupid PG rating. Why did WWE get rid of the “Attitude Era” and went PG? It’s not because of John Cena and little kids supporting WWE at all. The only reason WWE is for children now is because Linda McMahon is in politics and is running for Senate. I mean, think about it, right? Linda was targeted for the Attitude Era stuff in the past. She was in hot water for a little bit because of all the violence, sex, and inappropriate stuff that were aired during the “Attitude Era”, which kind of hurt her political campaign. This is the only reason for the PG rating ’cause Vince would do whatever it takes to help Linda win the Senate election and she’s doing good in the election so far, she’s moving on up. If they turned WWE back to the TV-14 rating, that’ll hurt her campaign even more.

I remember taking a long break from watching WWE for at least several months. I started watching again because Brock Lesnar came back, and like always, WWE is still lame. The storylines look like they come from a children’s book or something. Plus when a superstar gets injured on TV, people actually believe it’s a real injury, and WWE tries to make storylines seem realistic. It’s hard to believe what’s real and what’s not in wrestling anymore, know what I mean?

I miss wrestling back in the 90’s when it used to be wrestling. This is why Vince is trying to ignore wrestling and turn it into entertainment ’cause it’s all about Linda’s campaign. Vince is a manipulator and marketing genius, remember that. He wants her to have a clean and appropriate election without the media attacking her like they did before. Vince doesn’t want to turn off the voters away from her. She’s in politics full time now, and I don’t see WWE going back to TV-14 anytime soon. This is why John Cena will never turn heel. It’s all because of Linda’s campaign.

Even though I don’t like the company’s current product, I still respect Vince and I love their performers though. I’m thinking about giving up on WWE again, possibly for good. All the stars we all love came and gone, there’s all new and young guys working for the business now. A different era. Yep “Summerslam 25” was a bad ppv, it only had one great match which was Jericho vs. Ziggler.

I understand why kids and families support WWE currently. If I ever get myself a family someday, I would turn the kids onto WWE sure ’cause I was into WWE ever since I was a child. That’s the only reason to support WWE is when you have a kid, but when you’re a full grown adult, it’s hard to take WWE seriously to this day.

Brock Lesnar breaking Shawn Michaels arm on last night’s RAW was obviously a storyline but…

Leave a comment

… they played it quite well.

The wrestling world of the internet is trying to make it seem like that Lesnar breaking Shawn Michaels HBK’s arm last night was real, when it was obviously fake, for a storyline angle. Back in the early 2000’s years when Brock was around WWE, he was looked at as a Monster, a tough guy you wouldn’t want to mess with. Ever since Lesnar returned to WWE, they’ve been making Brock look weak, but I see that the WWE did that on purpose ’cause they wanted to make it unpredictable, when Brock Lesnar the monster will make a return. Well, Brock the monster came back last night. Being the dominating force that he’s supposed to be. Shawn Michaels played the broken arm segment very well, making it seem realistic, maybe that’s why people on the internet thought it was real?

I remember back in the Attitude era, when Brock Lesnar teamed up with Vince McMahon to feud with Zach Gowen (the young, one legged wrestler). I remember the incident where Brock threw Zach down the stairs (search for the video in youtube, you’ll find it). Well last night’s segment with Brock, Shawn Michaels and Triple H brought back memories to the Zach Gowen angle. It was kind of similar.

Last night’s RAW ended really good though. Paul Heyman is a phenomenal mic worker when doing promos, he has always been amazing on the mic. I think Heyman is probably the best mic worker in wrestling history. He does a really good job on making you want to hate, Brock Lesnar, and be scared of him.

I’m not going to be watching “Summer Slam” this Sunday since I gave up watching WWE ppv’s, but I do kind of want to see the Brock vs. Triple H match. As for my prediction on who will win that match, probably Lesnar. Lesnar has been losing matches ever since he first returned to WWE this year, and WWE would want to make him go on top and push him heavily. Brock is only around for a short WWE run this year, but I heard that WWE is trying to extend Brock’s contract so he can be around more.

Lesnar matters in WWE ’cause he put a lot of guys over in the business, and he was the one who helped shape up the Attitude Era. WWE wanted him back this year ’cause they needed him back. WWE was getting stale without him, and the company is getting interesting again with him being back. Brock is the only one that can bring shock factor back in the WWE and he’s the only one who can do it well. WWE haven’t had anything shocking happen in a long while ever since the Nexus group took over the RAW set.

It was a pretty good RAW last night. Look like Jericho is getting a face turn (Good guy wrestler) ’cause’s been bringing his old catch phrases back lately.

10 WWE legends that should have been at RAW 1000

Leave a comment

Other than the obvious, Stone Cold Steve Austin, who else should have been at RAW 1000? What other superstars that should have been there, to help bring back the Attitude era? I can think of 10 other superstars at the top of my head, who should have been at RAW 1000 last Monday.

  • Ric Flair – The Nature Boy Ric Flair is all done with TNA, and there are rumors that he may return to WWE soon. Flair was actually backstage at RAW 1000, but WWE didn’t use him.
  • The Ultimate Warrior – I really think the Ultimate Warrior should have been there but Warrior vows to stay retired from WWE completely. Sad, but Warrior does what he wants to do. Warrior is still performing wrestling shows to this day but he does independent events. It would be nice if Warrior would give us one last WWE appearance, though.
  • Paul Bearer – Undertaker and Kane reunited as the Brothers of Destruction last Monday, but Paul Bearor (real name: Percy Pringle), was no where to be seen.
  • Chyna – Believe it or not, Chyna was one of the original founding members of the D Generation X group. While it’s great to see Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, and X-Pac, it’s not a proper reunion without Chyna being a part of it. She definitely should have been there, she has always been a big part of D-X, like her or not.
  • Dave Batista – If they brought back Dave Batista, Ric Flair and Randy Orton, it would have been cool to bring back the “Evolution” wrestling group with Triple H for a one night appearance. I think we’ll get a Batista comeback pretty soon.
  • Hulk Hogan – Even though I’m no Hulk Hogan fan, he should have been a part of this but he is still under contract for TNA.
  • Trish Stratus – Lita returned for RAW 1,000 but we got no Trish Stratus. Trish was a huge part of RAW in the earlier days during the Attitude Era.
  • Sable (Rena Mero) – Sable who is Brock Lesnar’s real wife should have made a one time comeback, would have been great to see the Sable bomb finisher, she’s known for. She too was a big part of the Attitude era, I guess she prefers to stay retired too.
  • Edge – One superstar that was missing, was Edge. He still occasionally makes WWE appearances but he didn’t appear at RAW 1000 for some reason. Would have been cool to see an Edge & Christian tag team reunion.
  • Shane Helms (as the Hurricane): Stand back, there’s a Hurricane coming through! Would have been cool to see that character again!

Enjoy! Feel free to add more if you want.

Last night’s RAW 1,000 scores HUGE rating…

Leave a comment

This is no surprise though, I figure so many people would be watching. Last night’s RAW scored a massive, 4.02 rating, which I’m sure Vince McMahon and the WWE officials are smiling wide right now. So expect WWE to continue to bring back legends from the past on RAW, which is working for them. Why doesn’t it surprise me that the rating is so big? It’s because it’s a clear sign that wrestling fans miss the Attitude Era. Last night, was pretty much the return of the Attitude Era, and this is kind of wrestling show we all want.

I’m sure the rating would be even bigger than that, if Stone Cold was on last night though.

See the article, here.
