2009 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

Well, to get off that subject, just the thought of Vince saying, "Hey, I'll bring in a Freddy Krueger character to host Raw" is absolutely stupid.

 

Wow, HHH didn't win the beat the clock match. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he still finds a way into the title match at SummerSlam.

 

Looks like we're getting Cena and Orton at SummerSlam.

Yay.

 

And now comments about Shaq?

I thought he did a fine job and I'd bet RAW had some big ratings last night.

Surprised the Cavs let him get into physical action. That running shoulder tackle thingy was sort of odd looking but The Big Show sold it pretty well.

 

Shaq looked incredibly comfortable in a WWE setting and played to the crowd well. Loved how they tweaked the Washington crowd with the Cavs-Wizards bits ("My new teammate LeBron James says hello!").

If anything, I thought they could've used Shaq more in front of the live crowd. They've been pretty cautious with the guest hosts, doing most of the stuff pre-taped in the backstage area. He was doing just fine live.

And with him doing the "Shaq vs." show this summer, I'm not surprised he got into a minor scruff. That said, as a Cavs fan, I do NOT want to see him taking part in any full-blown matches anytime soon.

 

The Shaq-Jericho opening brouhaha was amusing. Jericho is really the best thing on this show right now. I'd like to see a little more Mark Henry too....he's far underused.

And I will not pay for another pay-per-view involving Orton and or Cena or Trips. They've ran that into the ground.

I hope the Taker stays away.

I'd like to see Sean Michaels one last time.

Another interesting title twist would be DeBiase turning on the Viper and winning it.

 

It's Shawn.

And why do you want Taker to stay away?

 

I just think he's got it too easy. Show up every six months, have a few lameass matchups like sucking the under flab of a Big Daddy V and just about time to make a run at Wrestlemania. His 3 1/2 minute entries are wasted time.

Just never have bought into his thing.

 

HBK:

I know we've probably asked this before, but please come back. Wrestling needs you *badly* right about now because it is damn near unwatchable. Just stop sleeping with your insanely hot Nitro Girl wife, run in at SS, super-kick Orton and Cena, and walk off...that would be awesome. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Petrie

P.S. Scribe wants you back, too. And possibly KY...if not, he's dead to me

 

Be warned ... HBK and Triple H as DX, coming to a PPV in August and beyond.

Any thoughts on MVP's de-push with a double countout result against a returning Chris Masters? Swagger's got none at the moment, either. I also agree that DiBiase turns on Orton/Rhodes by Survivor Series, if not sooner.

 

I don't think he ever even fought Big Daddy V, who got released like two years ago, by the way. Big fan?

 

Big Daddy V and Undertaker did like three or four matches in a row a year ago on Smackdown.
