Official WWE/TNA/ROH Thread

I like the card, actually, and in theory, the only bad matches with be Taker-Batista(unless Taker carries the big lug like he did with Nash 11 years ago) and Kane-Khali(will be okay if they keep it short).

I'm kinda disappointed Ashley is getting the Women's title shot instead of letting Mickie tear the house down again, but they have the promote the Playboy spread somehow, I guess.

The New Bloods-Originals fued intrests me, and it'll be intresting to see what they do with Van Dam and Sabu, with them on their way out.

Shawn-Cena will probably be play it by ear(much like Rock-Hogan at 18) to decide the face-heel stuff. It'll probably end up being much like the Angle-Cena fued(with half cheering for Shawn and half for Cena).

I won't spend money on it, but I may go out and see it at the bar or something. But the card is one of the best produced in a long time.

How fake do you guys think wrestling is? Sometimes you can tell easily that it is a fake.

[ghettochild]

its a soap opera for men


//edit: yes, the blading is fake, the matches are pre-determined, but the athleticism of these guys isn't.

i only stick around for the storylines though...and the nostalgia feeling these days

Anyone see that several wrasslers are involved in the big steroids scandel hunt going on for other pro sports? Orton and Edge were a couple of the ones named. ESPN.com - GEN - Report: 11 pro wrestlers linked to pharmacy probe

Edge has said on TV, he used steroids in the past when his neck broken wrestling, he even said it on TV, sports talk show called Off The Record, they get wrestlers from the WWE to do their show from time to time and even Vince has done a few times. I don't think he used them for no other purpose, he's only 240 and a bean pole compared to Cena, Batista, and Lashley.

Shane Helms has said in his blog he took steroids to treat an njury, that he didn't want to get surgery for, he got a 2nd opinion as well.

Orton I don't about him I haven't heard anything on him, but he got treatment for that shoulder injury after WM 21, or he might just be using.

Kurt Angle was also named but before this article came out.

Other news Chris "Y2J" Jericho might return in the near future.

Other news Chris "Y2J" Jericho might return in the near future.

I still remember his debut, well the entrance that is.

[Halladay_is_God]

That was probably the last good build up the WWE had for a new wrestler coming in.

Wrestlemania Predictions

Little late, but, eh, why not?

WWE Title: Shawn Michaels v. John Cena. With Undertaker-Batista unlikely to go on last, and the awesome reaction that Shawn got last night, there's only one way to send the fans home happy. Cena will likely stay in the upper card title picture for another month, and will likely get the belt back at Backlash. Winner: Shawn Michaels

World Title: Batista v. Undertaker. Batista is getting no heat, and is still in the doghouse from the fight with Booker last year, and he's definately too old to end the streak. I think the streak's going to 15, and will likely end next year.
Winner: The Undertaker

Money In The Bank: CM Punk v. Mr. Kennedy v. Finlay v. Edge v. Randy Orton v. Booker T v. Jeff Hardy v. Matt Hardy: Word is, this is going to the opener to pop the crowd big time. Sadly, there's only a few ways to go in this. Edge's undefeated streak is on the line here, Randy Orton needs validation to return the top of the card, Kennedy could use a big win to get back in the title picture and CM needs a win for his entire brand. I'm going to settle on Punk, who needs it the most, but it's going to be something to remember with tons of big spots.
Winner: CM Punk

Battle of the Billionaires: Bobby Lashley v. Umaga. Umaga has already got his big first loss, so there's only one way this can go. Lashley's job to McMahon on Raw has to be repayed, and there's no way Trump is getting his head shaved.
Winner: Lashley

OTHER MATCH QUICK PICKS:
US Title: MVP over Chris Benoit(Benoit is going to Raw, needs to drop belt.)
Khali over Kane(Kane taking time off for knee problems.)
Melina over Ashley
New Breed over ECW Originals

Should be a fun show, but sadly, I don't have any intrest in ordering.

[Halladay_is_God]

big surprise eh

[DravenX]

I'm still trying to decide on to order Wrestlemania or not. Opening day or wrestling. Maybe I could watch both.

[Halladay_is_God]

WM already started (7pm EST), decide quickly

[OrioleMagic]

Mr. Kennedy wins the Money in the Bank Match. Edge goes off on a stretcher after Matt Hardy lands on him from 20 feet up.... incredible move.

Kane and Khali are up.
