ampulator Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I was using it as a compliment though. Not too many entertainers I would even make that comparison too. Except, if Miz applies, then so does Edge and Jericho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM_cHRvzTYw Been a fan of this band for awhile, but just noticed everyone's favorite Straight Edge wrestler in it. Unless you like Josh Prohibition or Matt Cross more than CM Punk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbergey_2005 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Except, if Miz applies, then so does Edge and Jericho. Only if they compare well to Piper. Jericho IMO doesnt compare well to Piper because Jericho is a better wrestler and a different kind of heel that is equally as good as Piper on the mic in his own way. I suppose Edge is a decent comparison and would probably say hes a poor mans Piper as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterHilton Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 If Miz turns face what will his gimmick be? Right now he has to cheat to win. He is a cowardly heel. What kind of face would he be? Underdog face? People were starting to cheer him and Morrison when they made fun of people constantly. Miz could easily be a face. I agree with most of that, but I think he could be a face pretty easily I mean..if you followed along with Mike during his Reality TV days, he's not some actor or former athlete who saw wrestling as a career move. He LOVES pro wrestling. LOVES it. You run some videos of him wearing ring gear as a kid ...the same way guys like Edge and Christian and Jericho did...a guy who literally fought his way into living his dream job...and you could get him over as a face. The fact that he has a catchphrase the crowd can follow along with makes it even easier. Niz could have an epic run as a face. really, the only reason not to do it now is because they need him much more as a heel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comradebot Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 So, had quite the fun time at the Smackdown! taping last night. Guess I'll put my thoughts in white to, you know, avoid spoiling it. WARNING SPOILERS My thoughts: It was a decent show, though not the best I've ever seen from the WWE live. Shelton Benjamin wrestled the dark match, beat Curt Hawkins in a decently watchable match. Good to see Shelton back in action. Pretty confident already that the new NXT (Redemption!) season is designed as a means mainly to get Darren Young over. Yoshi Tatsu and Hornswoggle both make for goofy pros, so that'll be fun to look forward to... oh, and Kozlov. Woot. That said, it felt like a collection of guys who weren't interesting enough compared to their peers to get over the first time through. After all the NXT shenanigans, we had a single match for Superstars... Chris Masters versus Tyler Reks. It went out for ten minutes, and just served to remind me that Chris Masters sucks. This very well may have been the longest match of the night, and I was just left wondering "why?". The Corre rock, but the segment seemed... wonky. Well, segments. Which were basically the same two done twice in a row. Wonky. JTG has officially reached jobber status, having been introduced with "and already in the ring!" status, before getting beat in roughly less than a minute. Crappy diva match that came later was more competitive than the spanking JTG recieved from Cody Rhodes. Might wanna drop the "Brooklyn, Brooklyn" music before folks start dubbing in "brawler". Undertaker coming out to Johnny Cash looks and sounds legitimately badass. And, the biggest and awesomest part of the night... EDGE AND CHRISTIAN RE-UNITED!!!! They looked GREAT out there, and were easily the highlight of the night (other than the Taker/HHH face-off, perhaps). Was really awesome to get to see them as a tag team again, though the WWE should've gone all in with the nostalgia. I'll admit, I was a little sad they didn't both come running in from the crowd.

liontamer Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I have to say the one thing that WWE does really well that WCW never did and TNA is too young to really do, is to keep their retired wrestlers relevant and use them to build to their biggest shows. Wasn't following the WWE at all until I saw the rock. Now add SCSA, JB and the return of HHH and undertaker (and to a lesser extent Christain) off the IR and I'm actually considering it. Also glad the truth got his other theme back, saw the new one once and it just didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tha Black Phenom Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 C-Bot, I wanna know... how long did the show feel to you? And did you have quite a number of dark matches? Because SD! is being very Raw-recap heavy these days and I'm just wondering what the hell you guys were sitting through after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaysin Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I didn't watch Smackdown yet, but are they really acting like Triple H didn't already lose to Undertaker at Mania? It just seems that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Hunter Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 When Undertaker says "18 other men have fallen" - they're blatantly ignoring a) One of them is Triple H b) two of them were Shawn Michaels It's only 16 other men. This feud really sucks and just feels completely forced. If the "career on the line" stip comes in like the dirt sheets first guessed, it'll be out of nowhere and not make any sense. They've already agreed to the match, unlike HBK last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hive Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 If Triple H doesn't retire after the match, which he will obviously loose, they should have him mentor Sheamus... who is storyline-wise on a losing streak and needs to change his ways to move forward, slowly turn him face and finally give him the push he deserves. Triple H could occationally team up with Sheamus in this role, but otherwise have a light schedule mostly doing mic work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTandSilentBob Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I thought Kane wrestled Undertaker twice too. Once when he had the mask and once after he had lost it. I specifically remember Kane crying "no, he's dead" after Taker returned from being buried by Vince. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterded Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 This would need some good storyline reason considering Sheamus put Trips on the shelf for ages. I don't think it would be that hard. You just need a month of HHH talking about his past and how what Sheamus did is something he would have done in the past. Throw in Sheamus doubting it for a bit and the crowed always wondering if this is the day HHH turns on him and it seems like an easy storyline to write.

Fantabulous Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I didn't watch Smackdown yet, but are they really acting like Triple H didn't already lose to Undertaker at Mania? It just seems that way. Apparently, and I don't really get the logic, Vince's edict is that when it comes to building their upcoming Wrestlemania match, their previous match didn't happen. I don't think they're claiming they never wrestled before at Wrestlemania, just that they're ignoring its existence. It makes no sense on any level but so far, like you said, they haven't made one mention of their previous match so the edict would seem to be in place. If someone can make sense of this reasoning, I'd really like to hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
