2013 Pro Wrestling Thread

One other thought: If they were to have Perfect's kid pin Cena again, they should do it by having Heyman hand him a roll of dimes.

The smarks would love it for the tribute to his dad, and the kiddies would be all upset over something they've probably never seen before.

"Daddy, what was Paul giving Curtis?"

"The world's greatest advice, son. The world's greatest advice."

 

That would be fantastic.

 

And a third thought (sorry!): I really wish Bryan wouldn't do the headbutt off the top rope thing. You would think after seeing the toll it took on the last three WWF/E guys* who did it, that he wouldn't be doing it, unless it was an extremely rae occasion. The head and neck aren't built to be diving from a height of five feet down onto the prone body of a 200-350 pound human being, even if you know how to fall.




* Race, Dynamite, and that other guy.

 

Word?

 

Yes. A match can be no count outs but not no DQ, or no DQ but counts happen. It's weird, but they've done it this way for as long as I can remember.

 

Well, I guess they had to do it. God forbid anyone pinns Cena, even with interference in the match.

 

Daniel Bryan is the man. Period. He deserves to be pushed to the moon. Here's hoping he's in the WWE title picture sooner than later. I don't care if it's as a heel or a face.

 

I hope they don't try to turn Daniel Bryan heel, because at best he's still going to get cheered by a good portion of the crowd, kind of like whenever Jericho turns. Even when Jericho did that turn where he punched HBK's wife in the face, he was getting cheers, because people recognized how well he was playing the character; Punk gets the same reaction at times. So, since the E needs faces more anyway now, you might as well keep him as a face.

 

But by WWE logic, if he's so over, immediately kill his heat. Then feature the under-utilized John Cena.

 

KMart is releasing a John Cena clothing line. Since WWE Shop sells the shirts, hats, and sweatbands, all that's left for KMart are the jorts. Still, it can't be more obnoxious than TapOut or Ed Hardy gear. Egads! What'sa meesa saying?

Edit to add: I just noticed that it's a clothing line for children. Don't know if that's better or worse.

 

FWIW, my youngest son is 6 and can't stand John Cena. He loves Kane.

 

TNA posted to ImpactWrestling.com that Rampage Jackson is coming.

So, will his celebrity appearance be a Ken Shamrock-like run to be a real rassler post-MMA or is this a Pacman Jones gimmick? I'm leaning toward Rampage actually competing. He's a real fighter who's moved into other forms of entertainment. He was pretty good in "The A-Team."
