Jaysin Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Randy got pilled out of his mind, mouthed off to some marines and got the crap kicked out of him? So that's how his turd ended up in the diva's bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teh_Showtime Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Meh. I don't like Orton better, but people give him all kinds of crap. He is nowhere near as versatile as HBK in the ring, but the guy can go. No fan of his crazy face persona on the mic, but Orton can still go in the ring with the best of them. Hopefully Morrison comes back soon though because despite his blandness on the mi, his ring skills remind me of Michaels even more than anyone that comes to mind right now.

Clp605 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I always liked Orton, I was a huge fan of his post Evolution face run and heel run with Edge in 2006/2007. But Micheals will always be my personal favorite wrestler. They both can go in the ring but the only difference's I've ever noticed is Orton is not as good overall in the ring while Micheals is well rounded, maybe not in his later years but was still one of the most well rounded and best in the company. That, and Orton was never as good on the mic as Micheals but could still make an entertaining promo before he had the gimmick change to the more serious Orton we have now. That's my 2 cents on the conversation though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ampulator Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 The HBK of our generation... the closest would be John Morrison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 CM Punk Hits Indy Scene, AAW Should be noted that Punk does drop an f-bomb, so be forewarned. However that's the very small piece of the story here. Even Punk himself is the small piece, as the kid he praises is amazing. I know the effects Cerebral Palsy can have, depending on how extreme a case it is, and what Irons has done is just awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djthefunkchris Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I like how this is playing out. I'm kind of hoping for a CM-Punk vs. HHH feud now... With Punk coming back, but being a huge thorn in the side of everything HHH tries to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should come to WWE and fight Trips for the right to one of his nicknames... And Punk's name is just so, so chantable, it really does help this angle xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron is fantastic guy too. I've had the amazing honor of meeting him quite a few times. He's also a perfectionist. There was a botched spot in a match at a show I was at. I went up to shake his hand afterward and tell him he had a great match as usual, and he just said it sucked and all this stuff...for one spot. This guy is a fantastic person and a very talented worker, Cerebral Palsy or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyKnuckles Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 If I had to compare a current worker to Shawn Michaels, it'd have to be John Morrison. Both guys started out in tag teams, Morrison went on to bigger things while Mercury disappeared until the SES thing that lasted five days.. they are both also well rounded in the ring, but I'd say Morrison is more of a high flier whereas Michaels is more of a technician if that makes any sense. Still though, every wrestler as great as Michaels can ever be replicated. Their will never be another Shawn Michaels the same way their will never be another Rock or another Austin..

djthefunkchris Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I like John Morrison, but I don't think he's any closer to Shawn Michaels level then Orton is... and I don't think either one are close. Sure, he has the gift of flash, but lacks in all other area's. Not better in the ring then Orton, just flashier. Orton can be a bore. I like both, so don't think I dislike them and just saying something to put them down. I'm sure both of them would tell you the same thing if given the chance. Perhaps the similarities people are seeing are ring attire, size and flash? Someone that is on par with HBK (or to be compared), is going to have to be able to go in the ring against all types... To me Bryan Danielson (or whatever we are calling him right now) is much closer to compare, outside of the obvious size difference. Someone that can go up against a brawler, technician, or high flyer, and believably be able to hold their own. Brings me full circle to the man of the hour... CM Punk. There was a brief comparison in the form of a promo not long ago, when HBK was on Raw and Punk come out. I would have to say out of everyone around right now, perhaps CM Punk is the closest thing to a "Shawn Michaels" of this generation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been watching him on Sports Time Ohio for years with that promotion and Cleveland All Pro Wrestling before that. I'm down in Florida, so I don't have that kind of access. Do get to attend FCW on occasion, though, or moreover, take my brother to FCW on occasion. Reason why this Iron kid interests me is because my brother has Cerebral Palsy, but to a slightly worse degree. And he's avid about wrestling, so I spend a good chunk of my week watching it. lol I'm a huge fan of Duke "Husky Harris" Rotundo and Drew McIntyre because they both met my brother, and went out of their way to embrace him, where as others were a little less personable. And if I can show him some matches with a guy who has been through some similar situations, I think he'd rather enjoy that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
