2009 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

Where was Cena? And why wasn't the whole Raw roster out there?

 

I guess I should be happy I fell asleep before Raw ended. I was getting groggy as Stephanie came out and I was out like a light even before she hit the ring.

 

I agree with KY. I'll bet ya Shane will become part of Legacy.

That said, the ending of the show sucked. I could have seen it if Shane would have come out of the crowd with a chair and laid out the three of them by surprise. But for him to just waltz down to the ring and then attack the three of them was ridiculous. I half-expected the roster to come down to break them up, but it didn't happen.

On the other hand, I'm intrigued with the possiblilty of Mickey Rourke taking on Jericho in some fashion, with Flair thrown in the mix.

 

I can't stand the idea of a Rourke/Jericho bout at WrestleMania. I get kind of sick of WM becoming full of goof matches full of celebrities just because it's the "big show." I mean this year it will be Rourke, last year it was Mayweather and the year before that it was Trump. Where does it stop? I would much rather see Jericho, a very talented wrestler, actually wrestle a good wrestler other than Rourke who won't last more than five minutes in the ring.

 

Normally, I'd agree. But from what I've heard, Rourke really trained to be a wrestler (by Afa the Wild Samoan). With Jericho, Rourke could put on a credible match.

Now who would win is another story. I would hope that Jericho, a former champion, wouldn't job to an actor. But stranger things have happened in pro wrestling (i.e. David Arquette).

 

I'd hope McMahon wouldn't be stupid enough for Jericho to job to Rourke. Russo only put the belt on Arquette to help plug their "Ready to Rumble" movie which then flopped. I am expecting a lot from this year's WresleMania. I think it's safe to say that Cena will likely retain at No Way Out and then face Orton at WM.

 

Baron, don't wrestlers always job to actors when they lose?

I got home late for Raw and passed out before it ended. I see I didn't miss much.

 

I don't mind ONE match involving celebrities. It's a four-hour PPV and they've included some classic matches in the last few years. I think four hours of straight grappling would get a little redundant and mixing it up a little is no big deal to me. Plus, it gives some media attention to the biggest wrestling show of the year and gets outsiders interested as well.

 

Will Sasso didn't to Bret Hart. Kevin Greene also lost to Flair and Anderson. Granted, it was because McMichael turned on him.

Well, at least I thought of two. Out of, at least, dozens.

Hopefully, if Rourke beats Jericho, it happens with a lot of interference (such as Flair, who I'm surprised might come back).

 

What did I say a few pages back about the McMahons once again being shoved down our throats?

And what was that? The sound of sarcastic replies that they, indeed, were not?

You sit corrected.

 

No, I sit NWO out and wait to see what the WM25 card looks like.
