2011 Pro Wrestling Thread

Are you just prophetic, or did you find a way to reset the timestamp?

 

That sure looked like The Undertaker to me.

Also, do we think it's Y2J coming back on 1-2-12? Those promos make me think no, but the rumor sites are all saying yes. God, I hope so. Jericho-Punk would be epic and considerably more entertaining than Rock-Cena.

 

Neither. I saw the pyro canisters at the start of the Cena-Henry match and figured that since Cena has no one to fight and Henry is busy with big show and the promos appeared to be hinting at the return of masked Kane that it was only logical that Kane was going to come out and chokeslam Cena.

Cool stuff though. I liked the new mask. Too bad it appears he won't be using it.

 

At this point, I just hope it's ANYONE but Taker.

 

A bit off-topic since we're discussing Raw at the moment, but Linda Hogan claimed in her divorce suit that Hulk Hogan and Brutus Beefcake were gay lovers.
Guess that explains why Beefcake was always getting pushed.
(And, for the record, Hogan laughed it off as his ex being crazy and vindictive, which probably is the truth)

Hearing rumors that its Jericho for 1/2/12 ... being brought back by Stephanie.

 

Read Jericho's twitter feed. He's trying to play kayfabe.

 

Nice that Punk is continuing to get his push with 2 Slammys and a hilarious promo. Kane, well, this the first time he's been interesting in years. Opening segment was brutal. Ziggler is the real deal, but God he needs a better name.

 

The Kane return was well orchestrated. The dark eyeliner made me think it was The Undertaker, at first, but after rewatching it, definitely Kane.

While everyone is assuming the mystery promo is for Jericho, it might not be. Sure looks like a brother and a sister: Shane and Stephanie, perhaps? They've been very careful to call Johnny Ace "the interim Raw General Manager," so maybe that's what this is all about.

What would be awesome is if Jericho came back anyway on 1-2-2012 and it's all a big swerve for whatever these mystery videos have been about.

Either way, I love the mystery surrounding it, and it should provide some nice hype ahead of the Royal Rumble.

 

Cena/Punk MITB may end up being Match of the Decade, much less Match of the Year.

And yes, Lita was hot. And that Lauriniatis video package was fun.

 

Match of the Decade? That's a bit of a stretch considering we're just starting this decade but, hey, it could happen. Problem is, they screwed the pooch on the follow-through and, honestly, that plays a role in it when you're thinking that long-term.

 

I believe that was the first time the girl was shown in the 1-2-12 promo. I could be wrong, but I don't remember seeing her until tonight.

And when you think about it, the whole "coming back to take what's his" fits Shane, who could be returning to take over the company.
