2008 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

Christian was "beat down" by the Main Event Mafia two weeks ago and Angle mentioned that WWE had offered him a deal. Christian's not on the next PPV and hasn't been on Impact since that appearance which seemingly was his last. Perhaps Dec. 1 is the expiration date.

 

With Tomko (back) in the WWE fold, it's gotta be obvious that Christian's coming back. My guess would be that he re-debuts at Royal Rumble.

The question would be which brand does he go to. An alliance/rivalry with Edge would be an easy go, but I think he'd be a better fit on Raw.

 

PwInsider.com is reporting that Bruce Pritchard, a behind-the-scenes guy for a long time and best known to wrestling fans as "Brother Love" has just been let go by WWE.

 

Wow, that's a big hit to WWE. Pritchard was the producer for the Smackdown brand for some time.

 

He was one of my favorite heel managers back in the day.

 

I met Pritchard at The Condemned premiere in Detroit. He was hanging with Jimmy Hart outside with a few fans. Nice guy, wonder why he was let go.

 

They are cutting Mysterio from television again?!?! I figure the torn ligaments in his elbow is a work, but it must mean they are taking him out for awhile.

 

What happened?

 

Rey came down for his match against The Miz and Mike Knox was at the end of the ramp waiting for Rey. Knox just stared at him and Rey rushed him and Knox pushed him and, I'm not sure if Rey botched it or if it was a work, but Rey fell off the ramp and whacked one of his arms pretty bad it seemed.

After the commercial, Stephanie said Rey torn some ligaments in his elbow. Work or not, it appears Rey will be off t.v. for awhile.

 

I don't remember the last time I heard Shawn Michaels gett boo'ed out of the ring that badly. Last time I can really remember is WrestleMaina XIV in Boston when he wrestled Austin for the WWE Championship in 1998.

WTF kind of angle is this...

 

But will it make you watch more?

I turned it on about 10 p.m. (was working) and it seems good so far. I caught the replay of Santino trying the splits into the ringing and failing miserably. Then I saw him icing his groin (Owww my groinses!) area and Goldust giving the sneaky massage. The best part? Santino screaming like a girl upon learning it was Goldust rubbing his shoulders.

 

Can anybody sum up the JBL-HBK confrontation? I was a little slow switching over from Heroes and trying to get caught up on the football game.
