2012 Pro Wrestling Thread

I have no idea, but I'm very curious about the answers. can I get a dm?

 

Trying to do the math, but I think I scored a 36 on the test. Without looking anything up.

Got three answers right, and some points on a partial.

So I guess I better hit my knees and pray, and then take some steroids.

 

1. I'll say 483. There have been a bunch of celebrity battle royals and guest time keepers over the years.

2. HBK and Edge?
Was going to say Bret Hart, but I think he lost as much as he won, especially in the early years of WM. It seems like Edge was in enough matches that he could've gotten eight, and Michaels was around so damn long that even if he batted .500 he probably got there.
Hogan is probably close, but I'm not sure he was in enough WM matches to get eight. Plus, he lost at least three times that I know of (WM 4, 6 and 18).

3. Gonna go with HBK. Again, longevity and meaningless early-career jobbing at work.
Bonus answers: Triple H, Bret Hart, Tito Santana and ... Big Show?

4. Tito Santana, Greg Valentine.

5. Ultimate Warrior, John Cena (until this year), Stone Cold.

6. Gotta be Jake Roberts.

7. Kane?

8. Mr. T (if he counts), Don Muraco, Ahmed Johnson, Benoit, Honky Tonk Man, Kevin Nash ... Miz?

9. Giant Gonzalez, Yokozuna ... spacing ...

10. Santino, Regal, Arn Anderson

I have a feeling I didn't do too well.

 

Updated WM card:
-John Cena vs. The Rock

Hell in a Cell Match:
-The Undertaker vs. Triple H. Shawn Michaels will serve as the special guest referee of the match.

WWE Championship Match:
-CM Punk (c) vs. Chris Jericho

WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match:
-Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Sheamus

WWE Intercontinental Title Match:
-Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Big Show

12 Man Tag Team Match For Control of Raw and Smackdown:
-Team Laurinaitis vs Team Long

Good God, is that last match gonna suck.

 

Shouldn't you wait to see who's actually going to be in the match before you determine that it'll suck? Maybe it will, but one of the greatest matches in Raw history was a 10-man tag match (Rock/Cactus Jack/Rikishi/Too Cool vs. DX/Radicalz in Calgary, Feb. 7, 2000).

 

Team Laurinatis:
-Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, David Otunga, Christian, Mark Henry and Alberto Del Rio.

Team Long:
-Kofi Kingston, R-Truth, Ezekiel Jackson, Santino Marella, The Great Khali

According to a site I read, the last spot on Team Long could be Evan Bourne or Rey Mysterio.

I'm just not a fan of matches like this, especially at Mania. I understand the reasoning behind -- so they can get more folks on the show -- but I still don't like these matches.

 

That's because they actually had top stars in that match, and gave it a good length of time. Not to mention, the Radicalz had just jumped from WCW, so there was an extra element of excitement to the match.

Here, you'll have 10 midcard guys on the undercard of biggest show of the year. It ain't going to be match of the year. If anything, it'll be five minutes long and feature everyone hitting their finishers at the end.

 

I rescind my previous comment. That doesn't sound like a great match, especially with Team Long's roster. Big Zeke has been booked to look like shit the last couple of months, so I'm not sure why he's in that spot. Hell, put the Funkasaurus in there.

R-Truth and Kofi being in there makes it pretty unlikely there'll be a tag team title match.

 

It'll probably get more than that because of the stipulation. Without it, it might be another Corre vs. Random Faces match from last year.

I wonder if this doesn't end in some sort of inconclusive finish that gets Triple H or Vince McMahon or whoever the "real" power is coming out on Raw and naming a new GM (Michaels?)

 

Word Life.

 

That was great. Old school music, attire and attitude. Let's hope he keeps it.

 

Holy fucking shit.
