Zeel1 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 This smoking thing...weird. Y'know, I had this one idea for a character, that was basically just a terrible role model, a bit of an Anti-Hogan. He'd tell kids not to listen to their parents, don't do their homework, ditch school, and just generally act like a sleaze. Maybe they're going for something kind of like that? They could even go with a bit of a sell-out edge with it, considering that's basically the exact opposite of R-Truth's face gimmick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Hunter Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Wow, John Morrison sure is in the doghouse, huh? Snubbing Trish and letting Batista et al have their way with Melina sure put him on the company's bad side... Oh, wait! He's in a PPV WWE Title match. At least nothing has changed in the world of dirtsheet credibility! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantabulous Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 It's a stretch, a big one mind you, but maybe they changed their mind since beating Morrison clean last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Showtime Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Y'know, Orton and Punk still had title matches when they were in the doghouse. Even if it will be to take the pin like Morrison will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantabulous Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 And given how both have been treated the last couple of months, which one is more credible as a participant in a PPV main event? Not that Morrison has been pushed as a main event player, but at least he was on the Wrestlemania card. Of course, knowing R Truth and geography, he might have been told to go to Atlanta to be part of the show and he went to the wrong one.

LoNdOn Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 This smoking thing...weird. I was at the show and during the commercial he was handed a pack of ciggarettes from a fan and he sparked up. To which the crowd started chanting, "That's Illegal, clap clap, clap clap clap!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I was a bit shocked that they did that, I was wondering if over there the smoking laws were not the same as over here. I highly doubt there would be an arena over here that would allow him to do that. I mean I am not a smoker but smokers are now treated like lepers over here. The only place they seem to be allowed to smoke is outside now. So I could not see them pulling that stunt in MSG or any other arena in the US. From what you are saying the English are the same so I wonder why they allowed it. I wouldn't have it any other way. Wanna poison yourself? Cool, don't subject me to it. I'm about to watch Raw, so I don't have any comments on it yet, but felt like I had to chime in on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least nothing has changed in the world of dirtsheet credibility! Yeah really. Although, supposedly according to some of those rags "smoking" is a huge pet peeve of Vince's. So maybe this is all along the lines of the corny worked shoots they've been doing lately. Especially since, like BHK said, there is kind of a social stigma against smokers right now. Ooooh, he smokes. He must be a heel. That sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantabulous Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 If you want to rip on the sheets, just remember that in this very forum, Triple H vs. The Undertaker at Wrestlemania was dismissed as "rag sheet rumours" when first reported.

milamber Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Raw review: Wasn't expecting JoMo to win. JoMo should make the Triple Threat match more exciting. R-Truth is much more interesting as a heel. Bourne v Ziggler was a good short match. Not sure about Ziggler's new look. Sin Cara/Cena v Miz/Riley - Genius booking. Sin Cara gets the win and Riley finally gets some in-ring time. Punk v Orton - Great match. I love watching Punk -- he's got one of the most versatile movesets in the WWE. I hope they have a hardcore match at Extreme Rules to cap off their feud with Punk getting his revenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I ended up realizing I haven't watched Smackdown from Friday yet. I'm watching Edge's speech and I'm getting teary eyed again. He's always been in my top ten favorites, even top five. WWE really isn't going to be the same without him. *edit* Also, just saw that Josh Matthews was on Facebook during the battle royal. Good to see he has to keep up with social networking while commentating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to wonder if all the ladies i n the front rows screaming "think of the children" were plants or just that much against smoking. The 'that's illegal' chants were also entertaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoNdOn Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Seeing as I was at the show I thought I would give my thoughts on things. The crowd LOVED Sin Cara, from his entrance right down to his high flying moves. The CM Punk/Orton chanting duel was really really loud as were the Cena Sucks/lets go Cena chants. Vickie Guerrero got the loudest boos of the night by a long way. I think they edited the crowd reaction for the R-Truth opening as from what I could hear, he was being almost unanimously booed (me included). Half the crowd sang along to the national anthem which was enjoyable as was me yeling "Cut his head off" when Cole was getting knighted (you can hear some of the crowd laugh after I yell it) The biggest cheer of the night came for Randy Orton, it was pretty deafening which surprised me. There was a tag team match after the show ended between Cena and Orton against Punk and Miz. Punk actually jumped in the Cole Mine and put the headset on and refused to come out and face Orton again. Needless to say he took another pinfall loss. The crowd were dead for the Bella/Eve match, seriously nobody cared. Maryse got a pretty big pop on superstars as did Natty. I have never seen so many people wearing the same shirt. That red Cena shirt must have sold out by the end of the night. I myself purchased the new Miz shirt along with four other people. Not gonna lie, I felt pretty special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Roguey Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Ziggler isn't Captain Generica, it's actually Chris O'Donnell playing the role of Dolph Ziggler. Seriously look at the third pic on WWE.com then look up Mr. O'Donnell (G Callan if i've murdered his name) and compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Final Countdown Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Watching Raw right now. HATE Ziggler's new look. He just looks...generic. Also, did I really just see a commercial for a movie starring Ed Harris and Randy Orton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
