My WWE viewing pleasure increased without Cena around. Now he's back, he's the champ and Goldie is probably gonna spin. fork Cena.![]()
Cena was clearly a panic movie. It's good for the McMahons and their business (ie tumbling stocks) to see the current face of the industry with the marquee championship. Even if he's not ready for it, and showed some noticeable ring rust last night.SlickWillie71 said:When my nephew sent me the text that Cena won, I was hardly shocked. Still, this is just another sign that WWE is spiraling towards a bridge to nowhere that's slowly making people get the heck off.
As for the Hardy "news," it's obvious the McMahons haven't learned anything since Benoit. I still insist that the only thing that will change this industry is having a marquee name buy the farm on a PPV or a live Raw.
Definitely see this movie. I saw it last month at the Chicago International Film Festival and it was worth the $35 I paid for two tickets. And my girlfriend, who hates pro wrestling, thought it was a really good film.Omar_dont_scare said:Anybody else seen this yet? I'm definitely intrigued.

If you've seen Beyond the Mat, you'll notice a lot of similarities in Rourke's character. He's a little bit of Jake the Snake and a little bit of Terry Funk.
I thought they absolutely nailed the behind-the-curtain stuff in terms of going over the matches beforehand, the incredibly muscular wrestler selling steroids, and the life of an independent wrestler.
The movie has that Rocky-like storyline, but that makes it a simple movie to follow. And Marisa Tomei still looks pretty good naked!
But seriously, I can see an Oscar nomination for Rourke. He played the part well. The screening I saw was attended by the director and it was interesting to hear about his experience working with Rourke. It was pretty much the director's way or no way, though he did have to concede to some things. Apparently they went through the script line-by-line and changed Rourke's lines to way he was comfortable saying them. Also, the director did a lot of research in terms of the behind-the-scenes stuff and said Beyond the Mat helped.

I missed the end of the Cena-Jericho match because my internet stream locked up. How did he win?
Edge coming back was pretty cool, but I'm surprised HHH actually jobbed.
Orton, I thought, got a pretty good pop from the crowd when he nailed the RKO on Botchtista. Either the fans hate Batista because he simply sucks or Orton is that much of a badass.

I was completely shocked when I heard the pop that Orton got for coming out to the ring for the match, getting tagged into the ring and then winning the match. He seemed to get a much louder pop than Batista.
