milamber Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Raw was better than I thought it would be. Punk v Jericho got personal, adding a new layer to an already exciting feud. Rock was funny and had the crowd in his hand but Cena's not-so-PG thuganomics stole the show for me. http://i.qkme.me/jma.jpg Smackdown was awesome. They've done a fantastic job of turning Bryan into a sneaky, egotistical, abusive bastard who can hold his own against main eventers like Punk. Sheamus v Jericho was easily the match of the week.

Rone Rivendale Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Say what you will about WWE Creative but they have a knack for finding the perfect gimmick for people. When Cena first came in, he was a bland 'blue-chipper', but eventually someone discovered that he liked to rap and BINGO, a star was born. Santino Marella had a similar bland gimmick at first, but eventually he struck comedy gold and he has been a crowd favorite ever since. Daniel Bryan had the same beginning but now he has a character that truly shines on Smackdown and has him as the #1 heel on the brand. I could go on really, from Rocky Miavia becomes The Rock to The Ringmaster becoming Stone Cold Steve Austin, sometimes it just takes a poke in the right direction.

milamber Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Punk cuts a good come-back promo only for Jeri-troll to get under Punk's skin again. Perfect opening to Raw. Lord Tensai = A-Train (even though he laughed off the rumor of his return) ??? Bryan v Ryder - 2 of my favorite wrestlers. I'd love to see Ryder as a heel one day. Cena v Henry - Henry dominating Cena (with the announcers using his car accident as a possible excuse) was awesome. I love the way Cena won because he didn't make it look like an easy superman comeback, and the Rock came out and manhandled Henry. Miz should join Team Teddy and switch to SD so he can get his career back on track. He's going nowhere on Raw. Vicki v Aksana catfight was funny. Swagger's new hairstyle might be lame but his hot wife doesn't seem to mind - http://twitter.com/#!/RealJackSwagger/status/177535349227139072 Not that fussed about the build-up to the End of an Era match. Is it just me or does Undertaker sound flat instead of menacing? I just want to see the match already. At least HHH looks in better shape this year.

cappyboy Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Not that fussed about the build-up to the End of an Era match. Is it just me or does Undertaker sound flat instead of menacing? I just want to see the match already. At least HHH looks in better shape this year. Funny. Because to me it's the other big non-title match that I'm not fussed about. Cena vs Rock = YAWN. The Rock was fine in his time. But I'm sorry. His act is old and tired and I'm over it. The boots to asses and the Fruity Pebbles junk and all his "clever" history lessons. Spare me. Dude's trying WAY too hard to be funny. I honestly fast forward or shut the show off before his appearances now. Rock should just stay Dwayne and stay in Hollywood now. His usefulness, at least in Cappy Land, is done. Whereas with Trips and Taker, I'm digging the End of an Era talk. I think you could make the case that Taker sounds more flat than menacing. But in this context, I don't know that's such a bad thing. There's a real sense of finality here. Whether that ultimately means anything is anybody's guess. But it FEELS LIKE it means something. It's feels like reality is seeping through into the storyline. To the degree Taker sounds too flat to be imposing, I've gotten the sense he's done win or lose and he knows it. So he doesn't need to be as menacing because he knows he won't be around trying to back the menace up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantabulous Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 <p>WWE.com ran an article about this story, and the fact they felt the need to respond at all is pretty telling.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="25169" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Monday night, an unreliable online news source published an erroneous report that WWE was shutting down operations of our developmental facility, Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW). In order to set the record straight, WWE.com interviewed WWE’s Executive Vice President of Talent, Paul Levesque (also known as WWE Superstar Triple H) to address this issue.<p> </p><p> “It is absolutely not true. FCW is not closing,” Triple H said. “I don’t know how the rumor started but I believe it’s a situation where the ‘dirt sheets’ want to believe they have the scoop on everything. If anything, we are in the process of ramping up our entire developmental system. It’s the lifeblood of our company. It’s what feeds our future and in no way are we going to close it down.”</p><p> </p><p> Levesque also addressed plans to relocate training or FCW TV tapings out of its home of Tampa, Fla.</p><p> </p><p> “There are plans in the works, but nothing definitive I can discuss right now,” he said. “Shortly after WrestleMania, there will be a major announcement about our developmental system.”</p><p> </p><p> He continued, “WWE’s developmental system is being revamped, not shut down. If anything, it’s going to get bigger and better than ever. WWE Developmental cultivates the future talent of WWE. By no means is it going to get smaller or shut down.”</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> In case we've got the usual suspect(s) eager to go all, "LOLZ DIRTSHEETS R RONG!!!", (too late) I'll point out that:</p><p> </p><p> 1) Triple H is all, "We're not closing down FCW" but then is all, ""I can't comment as to whether or not we will relocate developmental". So, which is it? You're not closing them down but you can't say whether or not you're moving developmental?</p><p> </p><p> 2) Take out the copy and paste sites who edit and rephrase things, the story from the main news sites was that WWE were moving developmental. Which the WWE.com article all but says is exactly what is going to happen. It was the copy and paste sites, and not the main news sites, that claimed FCW was shutting down.</p><p> </p><p> 3) But let's presume it's all nasty lies and FCW is not closing down. Why cancel their only TV? Why not keep it until they've moved elsewhere in Florida?</p><p> </p><p> 4) WWE themselves told the station carrying FCW that they were pulling out and moving things to Stamford.</p><p> </p><p> 5) If it is all a giant mix-up, you know what would stop stuff like this happening? Being a bit more open with the main news sites. Not the copy and paste places who turn an innocent comment into "Brock Lesnar is quitting the UFC for WWE" that the gullible believe without taking the time to check the facts on. But the main ones who are, despite what the fingers-in-their-ears crowd desperately want to believe, right more often than they're not.</p><p> </p><p> But let's not stop the usual people from being all self-congratulatory about being brave souls and disbelieving those nasty 'dirt sheets (Is is 1996? We're still using an archaic term like that?).</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
