2008 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

Hopefully they put the belt on Punk. And hopefully that catapults him back into the main event spotlight.

Also, what are the odds HBK enterferes with the title match at the Rumble?

 

Show appeared entertaining. I missed some key parts. Michaels/JBL was just too predictable. I would have preferred Michaels winning, then JBL make him give up the shot on the next Raw.

 

On the standpoint of buyrates, having JBL going into WM as the champion is the worst thing that could happen.

On a change of pace, one thing we haven't discussed is what's going to happen on Smackdown. I'd personally love to see a Hardy/Edge feud get going as I think they could put together a great series of matches.

 

I meant him costing JBL the title, not Cena.

I can't stand the possibility of JBL getting another title reign. Don't know why Vince continues to keep him in the main event spotlight when it's obvious fans can't stand him and his coworkers can't, either.

 

Ah, gotcha. I figured with the angle you meant Michaels would cost Cena the title. I really don't know how long Vince can keep this angle going, though. I think most fans would think that Michaels is pretty well off financially and it's even more interesting that JBL nor Micahels has really reveled the details of this job. If I had to say, it looks like Michaels is just JBL's personal bitch.

Remind me never to take a job with JBL. Ever.

 

Unless that job isn't in the squared circle, right?

Away from wrestling, I'd love to work with JBL and find out his secrets. I mean, the guy made millions outside the ring (as if he needed the money, but still ...) and I'd love to know how.

 

Oh, and the angle needs to end. The Rumble is a perfect time for that to happen, with HBK coming down to the ring and be in JBL's corner, until turning on him later in the match and giving Cena the win.

I know they're trying to capitalize off The Wrestler, but this gimmick sucks. Even worse than Katie Vick ...

 

Ohhh! That gives me an idea. We've done our favorite feuds/storylines/stables, but what were the worst?

 

Since returning in 2002, Shawn Michaels has had an amazing ability to take just about any angle he's been given and made it gold. But I'm sorry, no matter how hard he tries, it just ain't happening with this JBL thing. Every step of it has been predictable, not to mention the fact that nobody is buying it.

I'm still holding out hope they can run through this thing quickly enough and get something going for HBK and the Undertaker at WM.

 

Starts and ends with Kate Vick.

Currently, it's Vince Russo and the idiots booking TNA for using the death of Jeff Jarrett's wife in his feud with Kurt Angle.

Others include:Al Wilson, Mae Young giving birth to a hand, Pat Patterson/Gerald Brisco evening gown match on PPV, Kane/Lita/Gene Snitsky storyline, GI Bro, Glacier, Finger Poke of Doom title change that pretty much sealed WCW's fate, KISS Demon, Viagra on a Pole match, Master P in WCW, Hawk trying to commit suicide, Mr. America (Hulk Hogan), Hornswoggle McMahon, TNA using the laughable Elecrified Six Sides of Steel, David Arquette and Eric Bishoff winning the WCW Championship, Vince McMahon's car exploding/set falling on him, Big Bossman/Al Snow feud over Pepper the Dog, Billy/Chuck, Naked Mideon, Judy Bagwell, Lance Storm's "boring" gimmick, Goldust gets Tourette's Syndrome from Evolution, Heidenreich as a Road Warrior, Perry Saturn's in love with a mop, The Diva search, Big Bossman/Big Show feud, Mark Henry hooking up with a man in drag, Val Venis castration, Vince McMahon's Kiss My Ass club, Beaver Cleavage, using Eddie Guerrero's death in storylines...I could go on forever.

 

Worst theme music? This has to top it.

On second thought, it's impossible to get any worse than poor Kute Kip.
