2008 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

Curious to see how they take it from here, because obviously Taker isn't done for good.

 

True...I heard 'Taker wants to take some some time off now. I expect him to be out 2 or 3 months or so and return probably on the Raw brand. He took some very risky spots in the TLC match, which was definitely Edge/Undertaker's most thoroughly entertaining bout.

If you watch WWE PPVs on a regular basis, you really take into account the importance of The Undertaker. He's only gotten better with age in the ring...almost every month he puts on a fantastic match. From carrying Batista to Match of the Year candidates in '07 to his memorable Rumble win after battling HBK in '07 to his recent string of very good matches against Edge, 'Taker is adding to his legacy as one of the GOATs.

 

Looks like Randy Orton is going to be getting an unplanned summer vacation. Serious shoulder injury tonight...

If you watched the PPV you can clearlyhere Orton tell the referee "I broke my collarbone."

Big loss for Raw show if true, and may change their draft plans.

 

I agree on Undertaker adding to his legacy...if you were to write a book on the all-time greats in the WWE, he's certainly in chapter 1 so to speak.

I'm also curious as to where this angle is going...also not sure why he needs "time off" again...he has only been back on TV as a regular for six months or so....but I suppose he is in his lower 40's...

 

Todd Martin, subbing for Meltzer on reviewing ONS, really liked the PPV.

Not surprised about Taker, either. Edge being the champ and having others chasing him is better than Edge chasing Taker. Perhaps the draft gives Edge fresh challengers, too.

 

there is no way in hell taker goes out like that. he'll get a much better and much deserved send off at mania next march. i just wonder if he will break character for the hof show.

 

Seems to me like having a 'if Undertaker loses, he's done' match kind of seems hollow after the Flair match. Why not just have Vickie say that if he lost, that he would be suspended for X amount of months for using the leg chokehold, or something like that.

 

well, he stopped using the triangle choke a month or so ago. wouldnt make any sense. but then again, what really does with the wwe?

 

They could have had him use it again in defiance of Vicki on Smackdown, then have Vicki make the announcement the following week: If you lose at the PPV, you're suspended for using the choke. If you win, you're not.

 

One only hopes they'll bring back the RNN update for Orton's injury.

 

Damn. That was a rough fall he took and you could see him in pain after the match favoring his left shoulder/elbow. Atleast he was able to walk away from it. Anyone know how long he'll be out for?

Edge definitely needs some new challengers, such as Kennedy, Y2J, Jeff Hardy, or HBK. I think WWE will go with Cena vs. HHH as their money summer feud. I'd like to see Kane turn heel and Big Show pushed as a big face going into their Night of Champions match.
