2012 Pro Wrestling Thread

So we're 45 minutes in, and we're just now starting the second match of the night.

 

And it looks like we'll get a response from Lesnar or Heyman. If it's Heyman, I wonder if the crowd will know who he is this time?

 

What have/haven't we missed?

 

Not much.

Foley started the show and Laryngitis came out and announced the main event -- which he set up before he was fired -- was a 3-on-1 handicap match pitting himself, Show and Otunga against Cena. Punk and Sheamus beat Bryan and Kane in a tag match, and Ziggler beat Swagger, thus ending that team.

Then Heyman came out, ran his mouth and said the match between Lesnar and Trips wasn't going to happen. Trips comes out, says Lesnar is going to be the face of Summer Slam, but Heyman still says no.

Heyman talks about taking over the company, saying he would have nothing for Trips but would have "something for Stephanie." Trips grabbed him by the throat and went to hit him, but Heyman said something to the effect of he knows what Trips is going to do before he does it. Heyman says something else, then Trips punches him.

That's pretty much it so far.

 

And A.J. skipped around the ring in a Kane mask, distracting Kane from the match.

It took me a while, but I'm finally intrigued by this angle. Just keep A.J. off the mic and we're good.

 

I've got $20 says Cena loses the handicap match, at which point Johnny reveals there was a secret stipulation to the match -- that if he pins Cena, he keeps all of his old jobs.

 

Piper!

 

WTF.

 

Is Zack Ryder THAT far into the doghouse that they're not going to trot him out in Long Island? I figure he'd have been perfect to bring out against Slater.

 

Ryder in the doghouse? What about Slater? Looks like he's become the new whipping boy for the legends to beat up on until the 100th episode of Raw.

 

A Fozzy plug and Jericho returning next week?

 

But Big Show knocked Ryder out last night ... [/bluefont]
