2009 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

Watching Stephanie screaming for help at the end was hysterical. I would've almost liked to have seen Jericho come back out and just stare at her, maybe with a smirk.

 

If she stripped down to a thong, I think I could've lived with it.

 

Now that I could live with.

And yes, I realize not everyone likes Stephanie. So sue me.

 

What a fucking punt to McMahon's skull. Spot on and looked very stiff. I'm actually kind of interested to see what happens to Orton...intrigued by a McMahon promo? How about that?

Good RAW overall. Fantastic Punk vs. Regal match. Strong JBL/HBK/Cena in-ring promo. Nice ending, although it was too long. I'm still not sure that this was the lead-in show that the Rumble could have had.

 

Any angle that keeps a McMahon off television longer is right by me.

That said, it's more McMahons being shoved down our throats. Why is a 150-pound woman (135 without the implants) standing up to the monster heel in the company? OK, I know the answer to that.

 

Jericho isn't the monster heel, unless you're referring to her spot with Orton.

And I liked seeing Vince back last night. It was something different, a change from the last six months.

And if anything is being shoved down our throats, it's this HBK-JBL-Cena angle that I've yet to warm up to.

 

I question that ending heading into the Royal Rumble, too. I remember back in the day when tournaments used to take place to determine who'd be the #1 and #30 entrant into the Rumble. Nowadays, they don't even seem to care about it.

 

That. Was. Awesome.

 

I missed ECW due to covering a freezing ass soccer doubleheader here in Florida. Yes, I said freezing and Florida in the same sentence! Did the Dreamer angle continue? That's all I care about in ECW right now.

 

They briefly continued the Dreamer angle backstage. He talked to Teddy Long, who said he would have set up a title shot. Dreamer said he wanted to prove himself and not get handed a championship.

It was a mediocre show, but the main event was surprisingly very good. Mark Henry vs. Finlay vs. John Morrison vs. The Miz was one of the better ECW matches in recent memory. Morrison and Miz are two of the most consistant and underrated performers on the roster. (and who would have ever thought that would have been said about Miz?)

 

I figured that would've been the next step in the Dreamer angle. Now let's just hope it continues to a title Hey, maybe he can win it at Wrestlemania

 

With Christian returning to the WWE, I think WWE might have a problem on their hands. Let me bring you back to when Vince brought back the nWO, NOBODY wanted to 'boo' Hogan when he came back as the leader of the nWo - a heel faction. When Christian left WWE, I would say he was one of the top babyfaces at the time. Fans loved him. WWE, however, is bringing back Christian as a heel and I don't know if fans are really going to want to hate him after such a long absence from WWE and having served as a babyface in TNA for quite some time. It seems like Jeff Hardy will likely feud with Christian, too.
