  1. Define frequently. He was fired in the Nexus angle, and never missed a Raw. He teased taking time off after his fight with Lesnar, but has still been on the show every week. Aside from his two injuries (pec and neck) he really hasn't been gone at all.
  2. Yeah... Sin Cara vs Sin Cara. Last year. It's where Hunico came from.
  3. "I want complete silence!" Maybe if Drew McIntyre or Jinder Mahal yelled that, they might *not* get silence for once.
  4. If Nash is talking about movies, then why would he say "Stan Lee" and "started Marvel"? If you discount Wolverine for being not created by Stan Lee, you can't use the movie version of Wolverine to further your point. Well before the movies, Wolverine was easily by leaps and bounds the most poprular X-Man, to a sickening degree. I say him being a 5'3" undeniable badass, hugely popular and "believable" (within context) is a fine dismantling of Nash's point. How tall is Thomas Jane? I seem to recall him beating Kevin Nash in a little movie called The Punisher. Also, Nash mentioned "guys the same height as the refs"... No one seems to have a problem with that in the UFC, where real people really fight each other. Could Nash beat Herb Dean or John McCarthy?
  5. Not created by Stan Lee, nor at the start of Marvel, but still a very valid point.
  6. Yeah, it looks like Dolph's slip had too much momentum and forced them both down. 1. Sin Cara's move is not a Superplex, it's a C4, and they were not in position, slip or not. 2. At no point do Sin Cara's legs show any signs of him launching.

He was fantastic with Foley earlier in the year, and since then has had basically no opportunity on the mic, much like 90% of the undercard. It's a shock anyone can get over when they're not allowed to build a rapport with the audience verbally.</p>
  9. <p>Plus the title match would have had even MORE drama to it with the lingering threat of Cena cashing in afterwards. Punk and Bryan gave each other some severe beating, it would have been an easy cash-in.</p><p> </p><p> UGH. At least Cena winning the briefcase means CM Punk finally gets a Main Event match this year.</p>
  10. SES - routinely squashed by Big Show New Nexus - routineley squashed by Orton Because why push hot new talent, when you can keep forcing guys who've been on top forever?
  11. So... Kelly acts like an airhead, like every girl in a night club in California, which is apparently a bad thing, but you get on board with it? Being "full of energy and a bit ditzy" is better than a crazy character who actually can act, and is making compelling television? Someone already covered that Kelly's whole gimmick was that of being a two-timing exhibitionist ho. Also, AJ can run the ropes, which already puts her leagues ahead of Kelly in the ring. Kelly was bad in the ring, and couldn't act or make a storyline to save herself. So you are corect in that you can get complex, if by that you mean along the lines of contradictory.
  12. If that's all you can say, I'd give up. That was a terrible, incredibly contrived attempt at wit.
  13. The Rock called him out on it specifically in regards to his "fling" with Eve, as part of what was billed as the biggest feud in years.
  14. So because Cena has 7 years of being on top, movies, media appearances, etc... That means CM Punk shouldn't get the chance to forge his own legacy? Again, this is not the way of things historically. Hogan, Austin, Rock - they all had to step aside, and let others have their time in the spotlight. Otherwise we would not have Triple H, Bret Hart, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels... Never mind that Punk outsold Cena in merch, in fact completely sold out of his "Best in the World" shirt before it was even released. Never mind that Punk has been doing a ton of media appearances over the past year and doing a lot of Make-a-Wish stuff too. Because Cena's #1, apparently there can never be another #1, ever, even in the present-term forgetting "of all time". Perfect. Let's put him elsewhere on the card, and let the Champions get their due. I heartily disagree that Kane, Lauranitis and Big Show were worthy of going on last. Is an Elimination Chamber match not big enough? Is the AJ angle not dramatic enough? Are Daniel Bryan and Chris Jericho not good enough wrestlers?
  15. That literally had nothing to do with my question at all. Do you think Cena would have had the same success if he got the push that Sheamus is getting right now? Same amount of wins, but opening every card instead of closing, while Triple H fights a string of opponents, including Bischoff, in the Main Event? 1. Cena blew up before his WWE Title win, and started being hated when he went to Raw. 2. JBL was a mega old-school heel. It wasn't his job to blow up, it was his job to make the crowd hate him on all levels. He did interviews outside WWE where he ranted against internet fans saying we were all the kids he stuffed in lockers, etc. Which again, leaves the others where? Another ten years of playing second fiddle and never getting a chance to prove otherwise? Which brings me to a similar question... If Cena is so over that he doesn't need the belt, is he not also so over that he doesn't need to be the Main Event of every show? Will his fans really stop buying PPVs and merch just because he's not on last? Punk absolutely went over him last year, but they have not treated him as the champion he is. He broke out and they said "here's another ceiling". Same thing on a smaller scale with Ryder. He made himself way over, but because it wasn't Creative's doing, he doesn't get to reap the benefits of it, instead he's back to constantly jobbing and occasionally having a brief appearance backstage.
  16. The one question I have for people supporting Cena's eternal reign in the Main Event, constantly being pushed above every champion is... How are the Punks, Bryans, Sheamuses of the world ever going to become "the man" if they're never given the opportunity to main event? Cena won the belt at WM21 and immediately started Main Eventing. Other than his second place in the Rumble that year, he had never main evented a PPV before. But once he had the belt, he was constantly at the top of the card. They didn't have JBL or Triple H doing non-title matches above him all the time.
  17. <p>It's sad that CM Punk's "change" and "revolution" has amounted to him being in the undercard as champion while Cena Main Events four PPVs in a row</p><p> </p><p> Elimination Chamber: Cena vs Kane</p><p> Wrestlemania: Cena vs Rock</p><p> Extreme Rules: Cena vs Brock</p><p> Over The Limit: Cena vs Lauranitis</p><p> </p><p> And on Raw Lauranitis said that the "Main Event" of No Way Out will be Cena vs Big Show.</p><p> </p><p> Punk's been having great matches, but really nothing has changed. Cena still has the spotlight, even without the title. Raw is *about* Cena, the PPVs are all built around Cena. Outside of doing actual shoots, how can Punk "take the ball and run" as Austin would say?</p>
  18. People do realise that's not an actual WWE poster, right? It's just a sad photoshop of the Hitman movie poster... http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/30100000/Hitman-Movie-Posters-hitman-30141425-567-837.jpg
  19. He also constantly refers to himself as a 5-Time World Champion, even though he's had it seven times.
  20. Did anyone say it was different to those things? I don't think I saw anyone mention drinking or smoking at all, actually.
  21. So, Jericho was on the Adam Carolla Show yesterday - absolutely fantastic! He's very candid, has some funny stories to tell, and thrives in the improv atmosphere of the show. Definitely worth a listen! http://www.adamcarolla.com/chris-jericho/
  22. They should be beatng a show with the talent and star power of the following?: CM Punk Chris Jericho Daniel Bryan Dolph Ziggler Cody Rhodes John Cena The Rock Brock Lesnar As much as I like the guys you mentioned, I just don't think it's fair to say they should be *beating* WWE right now. And I even left Triple H, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker off the list, even though they were heavily focused on for the past month. And I left out Orton, Kane and Big Show who all have major star power, and are on Raw most weeks, but are technically SD guys. It would take at least a full year of perfect booking before TNA could even build real traction. They've been at it almost ten years now, and they are nowhere near being competition to WWE, even with all the talent and star power they've acquired.
  23. They already started the GM vs GM storyline before Wade got injured. No way were they going to have that as well as a MitB.
  24. Mark Henry has had run-ins with Michael Hayes, but nothing with any consequences. Bobby Lashley left the WWE because his wife Kristal Lashley (nee Marshall) was originally going to play Edge's girlfriend and Smackdown GM - remember how leading up to her departure she was scheming her way towards taking Vickie Guerrero's job? Basically Kristal didn't want to do it, and Bobby got all hot about them suggesting his wife make out with another superstar, so they both left. And, as we all know, Vickie ended up keeping the GM role and becoming Edge's love interest.
