2008 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

Oh good lord. Are you kidding me? They're mocking death again? Did they learn nothing last year?

It seems like every time the WWE jokes about death, somebody associated with them really does die. Not something I would continue to fool with if I was Vince and Co.

I am surprised with the Triple H to Smackdown move though. I mean, RAW needed to lose one of its top faces since they've got so many, but I never thought Trips would let himself be demoted from the A show.

 

I guess the Million Dollar Giveaway is now officially over. Ironically enough, Vince was trying to find a way to end it because WWE just wasn't getting great ratings from it.

EDIT: When Triple H realized he was being drafted to Smackdown, Trip just looked pissed. You know Vinny Mac is gonna get a earful backstage about this.

 

Most shocking moment: Triple H being drafted to SmackDown.

Least shocking moment: The terrible WCW-esque ending.

 

WWE.com is already saying the Million Dollar Giveaway has been suspended for the foreseeable future.

So it was a good ending to the show after all.

 

What the FUCK did I miss?

I stopped watching after seeing Trips was "drafted" to SD.

 

The entire set started blowing up and Vince's Million Dollar Giveaway sign thing collapsed onto of Vince and he was carried off on a stretcher with a brace on his neck. Looks like we won't be seeing Vince on TV for some time.

 

Limo explosion '08 ... except this time it was the stage falling apart around and on Vince.

 

Perhaps the most interesting thing to come out of the show is both champions are currently on SmackDown.

 

I'm thinking Triple H defeats Cena, Batista defeats Edge (bringing the World Title back to Raw) and Big Show defeats Kane.

 

That means one of a few things can/will happen this Sunday:

1. Trips drops the strap to Cena, ending all the speculation about a new spinner belt.

2. Edge drops the World strap to Batista, who then drops the strap a few weeks later to Cena, who then brings in the new spinner belt.

3. The ECW title will become the 'A' title on Raw.

That leaves ECW without a champion and SD with two. Doubt that happens, but you never know.

Also, why wasn't Kane stripped of the ECW strap once he was drafted to Raw? Lashley was strapped of it a few years ago when he switched shows...

 

The most logical solution. I'm actually excited to see Triple H on Smackdown! He can feud with Edge and someone else other than Orton or Cena for awhile.

 

Mr. McMahon was injured Monday night in a startling accident. The extent of his injuries were unclear at press time.

Press time? WTF?
