2009 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

Glad someone mentioned Punk's GTS on Haitch. I hope to see more "main-eventers" get that treatment from Punk soon

 

The Hardy-Hardy feud has potential, but I hope this isn't gonna turn into Matt Hardy version 2.0.

 

Exactly, the Hardy feud the last time they did this wasn't great at all.

 

I smell a Lita return as well.

 

Where would she fit in?

She's already been with (see: screwed) Edge and Matt. Is she gonna round the bases with Christian and Jeff?

 

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "tag teaming".
I don't think she has any room left to tattoo their names anywhere.

 

This could be cool -- Edge loses the title the HHH at No Way Out because of Christian. This ends up setting up Edge-Matt Hardy vs. Christian-Jeff Hardy in TLC at Wrestlemania. Of course, they may not want to do a TLC since they'll have a ladder match already with Money in the Bank (which I assume will be back since it's been a success every year they've had it). Then, you have Orton challenge HHH for the WWE title instead of going after Cena. Instead, have HBK-Cena for the title. Could be pretty cool, and it lets you do Hardy vs. Hardy at No Way Out to get a little more pop for that pay-per-view.

 

But I think it's pretty obvious that this storyline is leading towards HBK vs. JBL. And Cena-HBK has been done many times, although it's always good, it main-evented the show just two years ago. Orton's going to go after Cena, HHH vs. Edge probably.

I do like the TLC tag match idea, but it's going to be Matt vs. Jeff one-on-one at WM. It'd be cool if it led off the show, like the Hart brothers did one WrestleMania.

 

Anybody here get HDNet? ROH signed a TV deal with them today for a weekly show.

 

IIRC, that match opened a lot of people's eyes about Cena, even though HBK carried that match. I know a bunch of people on here, myself included, were raving about that match because it was so much better than we all thought it'd be.

So much for Cena turning heel ...

Like I said earlier, I really hope this doesn't turn into Matt Hardy Version 2.0. The split was ludicrous when they did it a few years ago, but only because of who they paired Matt up with. It made no sense to have those two branch off into a singles career, only to have Matt paired with someone.

 

I was at that WrestleMania in Detroit. You could see Cena kind of bursting out of his shell wrestling-wise...although HBK "led" the match, Cena went toe-to-toe with him and they had some terrific chemistry (much like Undertaker-Batista, which really shocked me because it was so exciting and Big Dave had such a fine big-match effort).

I still think it'd be foolish to have that match again only two years later, especially when they've spent so much time and effort on this HBK/JBL storyline. We had a lengthy Cena/HBK match a few weeks ago on RAW and their feud was really milked to its potential in 2007.

Matt Hardy Version 2.0 happened...what, five or six years ago now? I would hope the writers could come up with something better for him since then. Have him come off as a bitter, self-absorbed, jealous loner who feels like his little, more popular brother always stole the spotlight intentionally.

 

That guy in, I guess, the front row has been saying some hilarious things.

'He can't read!'
