2012 Pro Wrestling Thread

Why do I get the feeling that it's going to be Brock/Taker at WM.

 

Because if the great Triple H can't stop Lesnar...

 

WrestleMania? You're thinking much too far down the road.

 

That's exactly where I was going. PLUS they did have that "run-in" after one of Brock's UFC fights.

 

Brock vs. Undertaker would work out pretty sweet, even if Taker would be the heavy favorite. (I think Brock only wins if Taker insists on it backstage, because he really is done.) It's a somewhat fresh match-up, and the only better "uber star" out there that's available is probably The Rock, who seems more destined for a title program as opposed to a one-off with Undertaker.

 

I think they don't know what to do with him, so they threw him in there with Sin Cara. I think it's because they don't think people buy him as a top-tier guy (like a Ziggler, perhaps) but they do think enough of him to keep him on TV every week.

 

The thing that always strikes me when looking at Rhodes is that he sure does look small. Like, he looks closer to Rey Mysterio than anyone else on the roster. Wikipedia has him at 6'2", 215 pounds, but man, he just looks kind of scrawny when I see him on TV.

 

He doesn't look any smaller than Punk, to me. In fact, Rhodes looks a little bigger just because he's more sculpted.

 

Here's a new reason to hate The E: We know that CM Punk confirmed a new belt design is coming. The latest report is that the new WWE Championship is being designed by a member of Orange County Choppers. It was confirmed by Rick Petko, who's been a secondary "character" on the show for years, via his Twitter account.

Edit to add: here's a link to a photo from the Twitter account.

Uh ...

 

Uh ... there's no link.

 

If this is the case, I almost shudder to think what it's going to look like. Not that I'm a big fan of the spinner belt, but why can't belts be ornate without being too gaudy.
