2009 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

Considering WWE's penchant for jobbing out wrestlers in their hometowns (not to mention all the crap they've done to JR in Oklahoma), I thought they might screw over Punk (hey, he did job clean as a whistle the last time they were in Chicago), so his title win was nice.

My jaw literally dropped after the Orton kick. It was stunning enough to since McMahon get slapped in the face and arrogantly kicked while he was trying to get back up. But the concussion kick of doom... oh my.

And to whomever said Jericho needs to stay the hell away from Stephanie McMahon... ding, ding, ding. Please claim your prize, sir.

 

I like the idea of Jericho being rehired, but used as Stephanie's "bitch" sort of speak and starting a feud with Orton. Those two could put on some great matches.

 

I could see that, too, slowly turn Jericho face. I think this cinches that they're going to have Orton doing something besides the main event at Wrestlemania. Still, Orton-Jericho would have the potential to steal the show.

 

I liked the bit with Steph and Chris tonight. Some funny moments.

And three of the last few times we've seen Vince, something has happened to him. Coinkydink?

 

Whenever Stephanie started talking about apologizing, I feared the worst -- the return of the "Kiss My Ass Club." That ending was much, much better.

 

I was thinking the same thing at first. SO glad it didnt' end up that way.

 

And, now that I've read some "dirt sheets" this just proves that Vince can sell the hell outta stuff. Of course, we knew that.

I think this might be the impetus for a return of HHH to Raw after he wins the Rumble on Sunday so that he can tangle with Orton. I know he gets a title shot and all, but I can see this happening.

 

I was wondering whether someone else here was thinking the same thing. Except given her smirk, I wasn't sure whether club membership would revolve around Vince this time.

 

What if it was Stephanie's ass?

 

Replay of the punt. Sort of grainy but not as bad as the Zapruder film.

Vince took a helluva shot.

 

I just watched the punt again. Holy shit, man. That was worse than the one Cena's father took.

 

Vince really ATE that punt. Kudos to Orton for selling his end of well.
