Wrestling Thread Oct 15-21 | 10/18 TNA Impact - Aces & 8's Take Over, Jeff Hardy New Champion

[la-ca]

....ehhhh....I'm gonna have to give you a big no on that. This may not say too much, but he's much better than Jeff, Matt, Shelton, and Morrison. Like, so much better

I agree. On the mic he's slightly better then all those guys. Athletically Morrision, and Shelton are amazing. But Jeff blows them all out the water. He's so over he doesnt need to speak.

 

[Cashflow]

WWE has no credible midcard face talent right now outside of Kofi

 

[la-ca]

Everyone's speaking about Jack Swagger, etc.  I think Swagger would be a good face for the company.  However, I'm really disappointed in what they are doing with Drew McIntyre. Seriously, I thought when he disappeared they would let him come back as a face.  After all, to be honest, he's kind of a baby face whether we like it or not, as far as looks are concerned. He just doesn't scream "mean" to me.  So to see him back in this stupid Heath Slater "Band" crap is just annoying. I was hoping that Drew would return and beat down someone that is a bad guy, like Punk, and start a push on this whole "chosen one" crap that they tried to push on everyone a year ago.

Face of company? Never #2 guy at best. Drew McIntyre I agree. They dropped the ball so tough with Drew. Before the time he'll get another push he'll be released.

I don't think Orton will win the rumble. After all, he failed the substance abuse test a 2nd time, and per the WWE's rules, he's not allowed to be a "main event" guy for the title anymore. That was how I already knew the Big Show was going to win the match for the number 1 contender.  It'll be a while before they let Orton get back up to being a true top guy. I think he's got a lot of kiss *** to do right now.

True. Forgot about the drug thing prolly cuz I nvr watch SD! It'll be cool if Daniel Bryan had a rematch and beat Sheamus to erase that stupid loss. But then again nobody wants to see that again.

Smackdown, Main Event, Saturday Morning Slam Spoilers

Spoiler: Warning%3A%20Spoiler!

For Main Event

Kofi Kingston b The Miz in the usual 17-20 minute key match on the Wednesday show.  Usual long match WWE style with the near falls.

Dolph Ziggler b Zack Ryder in the usual short second match.

Ziggler challenged anyone for the main event next week.  Ryback accepted the challenge.

Great Khali beat Primo in a match taped for Saturday Morning Slam.  This was Khali's first match back since surgery to remove the tumor on his pituitary gland over the summer.

Jerry Lawler was there but he did not appear on Smackdown.  It may be on the web site but wasn't taped for television.   He just said he hoped to be back soon.

Smackdown

It opened with Miz TV, with Miz complaining about losing the IC title and he wants his rematch at Hell in a Cell.  Then he brought out his guests, Daniel Bryan & Kane.  Miz kept on Bryan saying he was the weak link and that's why they would lose their titles soon.  Usual Bryan & Kane arguing back and forth.  Big Show came out and said when he beats Sheamus, that he's not going to lose his title in 45 seconds.  Ziggler came out and promised that he was going to cash in his briefcase at Hell in a Cell after Sheamus vs. Show.  Booker T came out and announced the main events on the show as Kane & Bryan vs. Show & Ziggler and Miz vs. Orton

Randy Orton b Miz clean with the RKO.  They showed Alberto Del Rio watching.

Sheamus wanted a rematch with Wade Barrett because he hasn't beaten him clean yet.  Teddy Long ordered a lumberjack match.

Cody Rhodes & Damien Sandow b Tyson Kidd & Justin Gabriel

More backstage stuff with Long, Eve Torres and Booker T.  T liked the idea of the Sheamus vs. Barrett lumberjack match and Torres claimed that it was all her idea.

Bryan & Kane b Show & Ziggler.  Bryan put Ziggler in the No lock for the submission.  Bryan & Kane did their usual arguing after the match.  Rhodes & Sandow jumped them after the match.

Antonio Cesaro b Ted DiBiase

3MB came out for an interview getting over their gimmick.

Heath Slater b "You wouldn't want to be" Brodus Clay when Clay was distracted by Mahal and McIntyre

Layla b Natalya

Sheamus b Barrett in a lumberjack match.  All the lumberjacks were fighting.  As this was going on, Sheamus laid out Barrett with the Brogue kick and got the pin.  Ziggler hit the ring and laid out Sheamus with the Zig Zag.  Ziggler went to cash in his briefcase with Sheamus down, but Show got in the ring and knocked out Ziggler before the match could start.

 

[datboi81]

since everyone else wants to give there best booking scenario, figure i'll toss in my two cents...

I would use someone (not necessarily brock, cuz brock vs. ryback wouldn't be good for either party right now...possibly big show since he's a former "Heyman Guy" or Orton if they do wanna turn him heel, plus i'm sure vince would really get off on burying him some more) to intefere in this match and let punk and heyman get away with the title resulting in a no contest. Neither man loses, Punk rolls as champion and Ryback's streak and credibility is still intact.

but hey we all know the god of mcmahonism is going to do something that makes no sense and leaves us like that dude in the jacksonville jaguars gif.

 

[jhawk826]

Kofi is garbage on on the mic.  He's Jeff Hardy with much less charisma.  Forget that talk of him winning the Rumble.

....ehhhh....I'm gonna have to give you a big no on that. This may not say too much, but he's much better than Jeff, Matt, Shelton, and Morrison. Like, so much better

And this guy

 

[greyravenwolfe]

I mean he'd be a good face guy for the company.. not the face OF the company, like Cena is. I simply meant that swagger would be a good face guy that the people would really like if they changed up his gimmick.  Not that he'd be the guy you think about when you think about the WWE.. LOL.  I should have clarified.

 

[club-27]

2 years ago, i was Thwagga's biggeth fan.

Now he doesnt even get TV time

Oh yea, forgot about Lashley Him and Brock have the most unimposing voices in relation to their size.

As far as Drew McIntyre, I was never a fan of his outside of his theme and finisher (when he hits it right). He's grown on me though after a handful of pretty good Superstars matches.

Word DSK

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

I don't mind all these fresh opinions we don't usually get. There's been a good amount of rare SN's in here this week.

Stop lurking so much and get involved more dammit.

Jack Swagger

 

[airthompson]

So what do y'all think the best finish will be for HITC? It'll be a lose lose situation at the end of the day.

Punk wins Ryback loses a lot of potential and streak.
Ryback wins Punk, He has to face The Rock at the Rumble. Too soon
Lesnar interfering is already too predictable.
Heyman turning on Punk would kill Ryback, cuz its easy to get over as a heel, and not a face. He's going good as a face. Shouldnt stop that.

I think having Ryback beat the hell out Punk, and after just leaving would be cool. Shows his dominance & Punks still Champion.

Thoughts?

Cena becomes the guest ref, Lesnar comes to interfere, Cena stops Lesnar, Ryback is about to put the shellshock on Punk but drops him and turns on Cena.

Lesnar, Ryback, and Punk beat the crap out of Cena and form a powerhouse heel stable.

Well Survivor Series is around the corner, could happen. A Heyman stable.

 

[donmega]

Agree with DSK, Imma stop lurking now

Anyways, I was thinking... maybe Ryback won't win at HITC. But I guess there's a pretty big chance he wins MITB. I think that would be the best route for him to go.

If anyone is getting WWE '13 for PS3 shoot me a friend request, PSN is in the sig.

I don't know a damn thing about current day wrestling, but I was a huge fan back in the day.

So, when I saw this, it was a must cop...

Nope. He debuted in WWE as Paul Wight.

 

[Peep Game]

i like how they have more specific names for a lot of the finishers/signature moves for CAWs. I hated when they switched to generic names after SD HCTP.
