On the Hall of Fame point, yeah it might be that the matches and everything are scripted, but it takes more than just being able to perform those matches to be a Hall of Famer. I mean, you could apply the same argument to a Hollywood Walk of Fame , the only get there by virture of people writing them into those spots in principle it's the same but it's the attitude, charisma and showmanship that eventually gets people to where they are and to be a Hall of Famer. I mean you couldn't see Del Rio pulling off an Undertaker type roll nor vice versa. But then again nor do I see someone like Del Rio getting into the Hall of Fame unlike the Undertaker. It takes a sort of 'star' characterisitic to get there.

Someone like Ric Flair had everything and when you compare them to John Morrison or the Miz you just know they are that much more special.

it annoys me when they say they've 'won' X amount of titles - because it was only down to the writers that they won those titles.

They only won those titles that many times though because when they were given it, they could really pull it off. They were the real deal. I mean the Undertaker has only had 3 World Championships because he just doesn't have that extra level to have any more but he is still a great wrestler.

On Wrestlemania, I quite enjoyed it for what it was but there wasn't a Money in the Bank match was there which disappointed me. HHH/Undertaker was clearly the best match but if you wanted The Rock to screw Cena over it had to be the main event so they could end on a pop with The Rock. The one thing that was slightly disappointing in the HHH/Undertaker match was the lack of weapons used. 1 chair and an attempt at a sledghammer in a No Hold's Barred was quite disappointing for me but none the less it was a wrestling classic from two old timers.

The Lawler vs. Cole thing was obviously always going to be rubbish but it was a good way to get Stone Cold involved without having him wrestle.

Gotta agree with Syl though, without The Rock or Stone Cold it wouldn't have been half as good as I thought it would have been. The new generation of wrestlers just don't really cut it for me. Maybe it's time for a shift to TNA :p.
 
The Corre match was another shocker, cannot believe they turned that match into a circus. The Corre was starting to gain some momentum again leading into WM and then in 2 minutes they were destroyed.

No, no, no - don't mention John Morrison in the same breath as Les Miz. John Morrison has more talent in his little finger than Miz has in his entire body - have you seen what Morrison is capable of? Les Miz is just a loud mouth.

Edit: Yeah, what happened to Money in the Bank? I knew something was missing - Money in the Bank never lets you down!
 
Well, they removed the match because there is ppv for it already. Ruins the excitement of WM tbh and the match also.

Yeah. His pre-match preparation was just :eek: when I saw it.

I wonder if he learns to do yoga because he looks extremely flexible.

Apparently there's backstage heat on Morrison because he gave Trish the cold shoulder at 'Mania. What a cock.

Yeah, if you look at it that way, I can understand why they do it.

Same for TLC and HiAC. Money in the Bank was a standout match at WM - giving it a PPV has ruined it just like the other match types I mentioned.

He must do all kinds of stuff to be able to do what he can do! That's why you can never compare him to Les Miz, who is just a loudmouth.

What - 'really', or as a scripted storyline? If the former, then yes - he is a bit of a cock.
 
Wade Barrett - Celebrity fans - Interview - Four Four Two

Surprised to find out that he is a Preston North End Fan. :lol

Barrett said:
How about the Premier League, then? The company boasts a small select group of British stars – are they into their footie? “We had an American guy called MVP who was a big Manchester United fan," says Barrett, "but he’s left the company. There’s Sheamus, who's from Ireland and supports Liverpool. Drew McIntyre supports Glasgow Rangers. Mason Ryan, he's one of the new guys, he's a Liverpool fan. And, of course, William Regal, who claims to be a Blackpool fan – but he's only really started supporting them since they got in the Premier League. So I hope they get relegated again, obviously. I’ve been hoping for a programme with him at some point, and maybe we could both wear our shirts to the ring!”

A couple of Liverpool fans there. :p

And I was shocked that Edge has retired due to injury problems. It's a shame that WWE is losing another big star.
 
Edge retiring is sad.

John cena vs R Truth vs The Miz for the Title at Extreme rules will be awesome. :thumbs
 
R-Truth will cost Cena the title. It's the only logical reason I can think of for putting him straight into a PPV main event after all the jobbing he's been doing the last couple of years.
 
Yes, AWTA. WWE do something new! Its Cena over and over again :( !
