Just noticed that Big E is following the same career trajectory as Ezekial Jackson:

1) Be a muscular black man
2) Debut on the main roster as an enforcer
3) Go solo
4) Become IC Champion

Next step: obscurity.

AJ Lee is the longest reigning Divas champion of all time.

[Anybody Thrilla]

That's fine. It was just Maryse before, right? I can't think of a better Diva's champ outside of maybe Eve Torres. Was Beth Phoenix Divas's champ?

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, she was. She is the third longest reign now.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Well those are the only three that stand out, sorta.

[Lock Jaw]

Still has quite some way to go to beat Trish's reign if you include the modern history of the Women's title.

[mike adamle]

And even longer if she wants to go for Moolah's record.

I tend to not tie the Women's championship in with the Diva's title. Seems disrespectful to the former.

We'll never hear that song again on WWE television, unless it's old footage of Benoit.

Hell, even Our Lady Peace have cut all ties to the song because of what happened, and they've said that they'll never play the song again.

[Tom Guycott]

Remember when The Shield debuted and no one knew who Roman Reigns was, or if he was any good? Most of us had long heard of the "reps" of the other two guys.

I saw him on NXT. Looked impressive, but was terrible on the mic.

Lookit Gertner being all lenient. Actually, Roman Reigns was fucking abysmal on the mic. Beyond Jeff Hardy first push bad. Like, David Otunga NXT debut promo, "Why is he on my television?" bad. And as with Otunga at the time, he was supposed to be portraying this arrogant, knows-he's-the-shit heel. That doesn't mix well with visible stage fright. Nobody's gonna buy that you're the next big deal and the top of the food chain if you sell it like a shy little girl on her first date.

That's why it was 100% smart to scrap that and, on his Shield debut, sum him up with "I only talk when I *need* to talk" business. Hides his flaws at that moment, and gave him... how much time has The Shield been around now to work on his promos and gradually get better? He was teamed with two guys who could do the heavy lifting and possibly give him some help onstage and some pointers backstage. He may not be Mr. Personality at this point still, and I still don't agree to strapping a rocket to his ass just because he's ethnic and massive, but he should be quite a bit better on the stick by now if he's done some skill polishing this past year.

I thought of them a bit ago. And besides your lament of wanting someone else to use this theme (I agree), it has to suck for Our Lady Peace. Their song is forever synonymous with something they are so far removed from because it happened to be Benoit's entrance theme. It's like Goodbye Horses forever conjuring images of "the tuck"... just with actual killing.

Imagine being in a band, and your most memorable song reminds people of a double murder/suicide. How do you recover from that?

it's not their most memorable song, kind of far from it. They pretty much stayed away from it as soon as they did it, Raine Maida/the singer isn't a wrestling fan/only did the song because one of the other guys is a fan etc.

About the upcoming WWE Network:

In addition, every DVD release will be available. There will also be rotating programming from the company’s vast library, mostly television shows concentrating on old episodes of WWF/E, WCW and ECW programming, which they clearly from the presentation, believed to have the most value to the current audience, and to bring back fans in the late 90s when pro wrestling hit a peak of mainstream popularity.

The historical footage will air mostly uncut. Controversial characters that WWE shied away from putting on DVD releases like Chris Benoit or Mel Phillips will appear, although there will be warnings on shows involving Benoit, or on shows where some of the footage would appear to be controversial, whether due to extreme blood, violence or bad taste.

Commentary by Jesse Ventura, also edited out of a lot of DVD footage over royalty issues, will air as it first appeared, as well as ring announcements by Gary Michael Cappetta, which, for legal reasons, were also edited out of prior releases. Music is a more touchy issue. Perkins Miller of WWE told us it’s a case-by-case basis, particularly when it comes to 80s pro wrestling when a lot of the hit music of the times was used as entrance music. There will be parental controls available for content that is not considered TV-PG.

For people who think you can have access to the entire library, that is not close to the case. Only about 1.5% of the library will be accessible, and very little of it will be old territorial footage. And while they will add new content weekly, they will also remove content.

This could backfire in a huge way for WWE. Once all the Cena fans see how good wrasslin' was in the late nineties they will expect much more from him.

I've passed the WWE HQs so many times. It is so cool to see the inside of the place.

[Emperor Smeat]

Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper are expected to appear at the WrestleMania XXX festivities in some form or another.

At one point, Piper pitched the idea of himself and a heel CM Punk versus John Cena and Hulk Hogan for the show playing off the tag team main event of the first WrestleMania but that's not the direction WWE is going towards.

One pitch in WWE was to reach out to Mister T, which they have at least attempted to do, and reunite the competitors from the main event of the first WrestleMania and induct the entire match into the WWE Hall of Fame which would be a first for the company. That would, if it happens, make two-time WWE Hall-of-Famers out of Hogan, Piper, and Paul Orndorff. They could also include Jimmy Snuka and Bob Orton as well since they were at ringside for that bout.

Alvarez confirms that the original plan was for the storyline to last more than two weeks, with the idea that Wyatt brainwashed Bryan. In regards to WrestleMania, Alvarez was told by a source that two matches were planned for Bryan, one with him as part of the Wyatt Family and the other with him away from the family against Bray. Days before RAW, Alvarez was told by his source that Bryan's WrestleMania plans had been changed.

However, when the footage of the Michigan St. fans chanting "YES" became shown all over the place, with some commentators and anchors even mentioning Daniel Bryan by name, Alvarez's source told him that they felt "100% fully embarrassed" as the beloved face was now part of a heel stable and getting no reactions at this past weekend's house shows that the choice was made to break him away from the family.

Backstage, everyone was reportedly in awe of the reaction that Bryan received at the end of this past RAW, with one source telling Alvarez that "Vince loves Bryan," referencing Vince's reaction to what he was seeing take place. Vince's goal for WrestleMania is now to get the entire crowd to chant "YES" in unison.

The bad news in all of this is that Bryan apparently suffered a major concussion during the steel cage match on RAW and will be out of action indefinitely. This is not the first concussion that Bryan has suffered. Just before RAW went off of the air, a production guy looked up at Bryan and told him to keep chanting and Bryan looked very confused. Bryan himself then told WWE producers backstage after the show that he had very little recollection as to what happened in his match.

Just before the newsletter was published, the last word Alvarez received from his source was that Bryan's match at the Royal Rumble was off.

Daniel Bryan's concussion could be a blessing in disguise. The Authority could use it as an excuse to keep Bryan from competing in the Royal Rumble. This could be the driving force behind Bryan trying to do something to make his Mania memorable -- whether that be challenging The Undertaker or something else.

<font color=goldenrod>Bryan is feared to be out several weeks with his concussion. Would mean if he is meant to be in the title match at WM 30 they'll have to either find a way to cancel out the Rumble match (probably the winner's spot being on the line, which makes the Rumble match itself rather pointless) or make it a triple threat.

I've seen it suggested that Bryan win from #30 and barely get involved physically. But no, if he's still having concussion symptoms there is no way he should be in a packed arena filled with loud fans and bright lights.</font>

I thought punk was winning

[Mr. Nerfect]

Daniel Bryan should win the Royal Rumble if there aren't plans to have him wrestle either The Undertaker or Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania. CM Punk seems, to me, the best choice for an alternative winner. Orton vs. Punk seems relatively fresh, there's history there (Orton has beaten Punk at WrestleMania before) and Punk will bring the promo work. Have Orton get a bit worried about Punk and reach out to Paul Heyman for help, then you've got another fantastic mic worker in there and a continuation of the Punk/Heyman history.

Batista will make the WWE a lot of money and such, but I wonder how much momentum his face character will get with the WWE climate the way it is. In front of a smart crowd, Orton vs. Batista could also be a risk. The crowd could "Orton/Sheamus" it. I think the better choice would be for Batista to eliminate a bunch of guys and get rid of Del Rio, but then Del Rio to grab Batista's arm after he's eliminated and hold him in position for a guy like Roman Reigns to dump Batista out, getting the massive rub. Batista then demolishes Del Rio and moves on to face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. A big match with intrigue factor, but it wouldn't be last.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I just can't see Punk winning. Punk/HHH seems like the one WM match that appears to be set in stone already, so even if Punk won I'd be inclined to think they'll find a way to audible out of it. Would make more sense for him to have a really good showing only to get screwed near the end.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Having an Elimination Chamber or something for the right to face Taker makes sense to me. The chance to be immortalized by being the first one to break the Streak would seem to be a sensible enough reason for guys to want to fight it out. And from Taker's perspective, it'll mean he gets a worthwhile opponent - which has been pretty much all he's wanted the last few years anyway.

Yeah from an "Internet fan" perspective it all seems a bit odd since they're basically killing themselves for a match they have no chance of winning, but I can see how it makes sense from a kayfabe perspective.</font>

[Emperor Smeat]

Would be a bit ironic if they do it considering last year they fired the guy who thought of that type of idea to get Taker's challenger.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

That idea got a writer fired last year. A match to determine the opponent of the Undertaker is stupid because it gives the Undertaker no choice in who he faces. It's a video game story nothing more. It also makes the person facing Taker look weaker that he had to prove himself worthy.

[CSL]

what, didn't Punk win a match last year to "earn" the right to face Taker?

[Vastardikai]

It also makes the person facing Taker look weaker that he had to prove himself worthy.

I'm sorry, STD, but this is the STUPIDEST sentence I have ever read, in the sense of wrestling logic.

Please, explain how someone defeating five other men in a cage to earn a shot at something comes out of it looking WEAKER? How does proving yourself worthy make you look WEAKER going into a match.

By this logic, what's the point of even having #1 contender matches for titles?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They don't usually have number one contendership matches for titles. Contenders are chosen.

Also the Streak isn't a title. They got in trouble by equating the streak with a title and the guy got fired for having CM Punk have to qualify for the match.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Not being chosen directly by the Undertaker makes him look like he's not on Taker's level. He had to win something else to prove himself because they booked him like shit since he lost the WWE title to the Rock.

Smelly said the same thing also.

[Emperor Smeat]

I could be wrong but I'm not buying that for a second, sounds like Internet Fantasyland News again

Was looking for a report/source from the Observer/F4W since they are more reliable.

Source: The Wrestling Observer

As previously reported, WWE's VP of Creative Eric Pankowski was let go last week which has led to Vince McMahon being more hands-on this week on RAW. The final straw that led to Pankowski's firing was his decision to book a Fatal 4 Way match last week on RAW between CM Punk, Randy Orton, Sheamus and The Big Show with the winner getting to be The Undertaker's WrestleMania 29 opponent.

Pankowski was reportedly told that it was a bad idea, but he went through with it anyway. McMahon signed off on it, but it is believed he did so in order to let Pankowski's work speak for itself.


Also ended up firing his replacement a few months later albeit for different reasons.

[CSL]

yah, not buying it. Vince allows the build up to one of the biggest annual events/buyrate boosts aka the Taker Mania/streak match to basically purposely be shit to prove a point to a staffer? Bit ludicrous sounding. Not to mention those vintage internet wrestling news story words "reportedly" and "it is believed".

[Vastardikai]

The problem with Punk's entry into the lore of the Streak isn't that there was a match for it. The problem was that it was thrown together haphazardly. With a proper set up, a match for the Streak can and should work.

Noid Post Alert.

Next Monday, Undertaker comes out, talking about having a match at Wrestlemania. Out comes the Wyatt Family. Bray comes out and declares that he's going to be the one to end the streak.

Out comes the Shield. Dean Ambrose calls Wyatt a come lately nobody and says if anyone's gonna end the streak, it's gonna be him. He's interrupted by Roman Reigns, who feels that he believes that he can end the Streak.

Followed up by Heyman, He says that these are three up and coming stars, but they're not the caliber of athlete that can end the Streak, but his man, Brock Lesnar, can get the job done.

Out comes John Cena. He talks about all of his accomplishments. He talks about how he has done everything one could possibly think of doing in a successful career, except one thing: Face the Undertaker at Wrestlemania.

After that, Daniel Bryan comes out, he's pissed that he couldn't wrestle at the Rumble due to his injuries. He blames it on Wyatt, and he says he'll be damned if he lets Bray Wyatt face the Undertaker at Wrestlemania.

Finally, we get Corporate Kane to come out. He says a few things to his brother. He notices that there's so many people willing to get into the ring with the Undertaker at Wrestlemania XXX. But only one man can have the honor. Luckily, he's come up with a way to figure it out.

At Elimination Chamber, it's going to be Bray Wyatt vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena vs. Daniel Bryan. The winner of that match gets a shot to do the one thing that WWE Hall of Famers Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Edge, and Jimmy Snuka could never do. A shot to do the one thing that he, Jake "the Snake" Roberts, CM Punk, and Triple H could never do. A shot to do the one thing that not even WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton could do: Defeat the Undertaker at Wrestlemania.

And there you go.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Still doesn't change the fact that the Undertaker doesn't get to choose who he faces which is ludicrous. He doesn't have to face anybody if he doesn't want to. He's earned the right to choose his opponent. You overbooking the angle over a month doesn't change that.

http://www.pwinsider.com/article/82982/former-wwf-and-wcw-booker-george-scott-passes-away.html?p=1

George Scott, who wrestling extensively in the Carolinas before becoming the booker for Mid-Atlantic Wrestling, the the WWF, the early era of WCW and World Class Championship Wrestling passed away yesterday. He was 85 at the time of his passing.

It was Scott who booked the first Flair vs. Steamboat matches, a rivalry that would go on to become the measuring stick for great, athletic professional wrestling bouts. It was Scott who handed Piper a mic and made him the co-host of the program with Gordon Solie.

[mike adamle]

You couldn't even make the guy his own memorial thread dude? Don't you have any respect? This guy is a legend, he brought us Flair vs. Steamboat.... and you put his death in the 100k reply thread???

[CSL]

not the Flair/Steamboat you're thinking of, he happened to book 2 guys named Ric Flair, who was 3-4 years away from his first world title and Ricky Steamboat, who not many people had heard of at the time against each other in the mid-late 70's. Was a big part of WWF/E's success during that initial rock and wrestling boom period tho

[mike adamle]

And Seth couldn't even give him his own thread. How pathetic

Was a big part of WWF/E's success during that initial rock and wrestling boom period tho

George Scott also was behind Flair and Steamboat's 1989 feud as well.

When Ted Turner purchased Crockett Promotions, Dusty Rhodes was removed as the booker of what was now WCW (although still referred to as the National Wrestling Alliance at the time). Scott was brought in as the booker and went right back to what he knew best, luring Ricky Steamboat out of retirement as a mystery partner with Eddie Gilbert against Ric Flair and Barry Windham. Flair was pinned by Steamboat with a flying bodypress and the two rivals were back off to the races.

The two would have a trilogy of matches, two on PPV and one live on a Clash of Champions special that was opposite Wrestlemania V, that would become the measuring stick. Unfortunately for Scott, he would be gone by the time the program was concluded. When it came time for the Clash to be promoted, Scott downplayed the fact it would be airing live on TBS, feeling that the company giving away its best matches would kill the live house shows. His outlook made logical sense but it was a different era where the TV ratings for a promotion owned by a cable network were just as, if not more important. It was Scott's miscalculation that ended up with him being removed and replaced by a booking committee of Ric Flair, Jim Cornette, Kevin Sullivan and more, kicking off a great 1989 for WCW, at least in terms of match quality and angles.

[Seth82]

And Seth couldn't even give him his own thread. How pathetic

I didn't know if many here would even know who he was.

George Scott also btw convinced Vince to use the name Wrestlemania.


Retired wrestler George Scott was Vince McMahon’s booker, recruiting talent from other territories and helping conceive storylines.

George Scott: “At one point, Vince wanted to call the event The Colossal Tussle. I thought that was really stupid. So I started flapping my arms and skipping around the room, going, ‘Oh, the Colossal Tussle, the Colossal Tussle.’ I was doing a little imitation of (former Georgia promoter) Jim Barnett. He was a good friend but very effeminate. I skipped out the door and Vince yelled, ‘Get back in here. We’re calling it WrestleMania.’”

[Anybody Thrilla]

[Evil Vito]

At this time, Daniel Bryan is only expected to be in his scheduled singles match at Royal Rumble pay-per-view. It was announced last night on RAW that Daniel Bryan will face Bray Wyatt at the Royal Rumble PPV. Bryan didn’t have to do anything physical last night’s on RAW, as he is healing from a concussion suffered last week. Bryan is not scheduled to compete in the 30-Man Royal Rumble match.

<font color=goldenrod>Could always be bullshit of course. But if true that pretty much leaves only Batista to win the Rumble. Yippee.</font> :|

[Vastardikai]

More than that, there's the "let Undertaker choose his opponent." which has the ability to make WWE money one time. Or, with a decent set up, it could easily stretch the streak into two money making events.

Hell, my Noid post could have been spread out with Wyatt playing "Undertaker-like" mind games, the dissension between Reigns and Ambrose being played up, Cena being Cena, Heyman being Heyman, and Bryan playing up his histories with Cena, the Shield, and most recently Wyatt.

Best part, the event very easily sets up at least 2 Wrestlemania matches. One being the Streak match itself, another being Shield vs. Wyatt Family (where I would have Reigns turn face).

[#1-norm-fan]

<font color=goldenrod>Could always be bullshit of course. But if true that pretty much leaves only Batista to win the Rumble. Yippee.</font> :|

I have a feeling Batista won't be going for the title at WrestleMania. Who WILL be, I don't know but I just feel like this is leading to Batista getting screwed and facing someone outside the title picture. Like... I can see Orton losing the title to Cena and then costing Batista the Rumble because he's jealous that the Authority clearly set him up to be the new face of the company and not Orton.

I can't think of who would win the Rumble though. As crazy as it sounds, I don't think Bray Wyatt is out of the question.

I guess if Bryan isn't planned on winning the Rumble, it makes sense to leave him out entirely. If Bryan was in the match and got eliminated I honestly think the crowd would completely shit on it. I could imagine Batista eliminating Bryan last and the announcers trying to put it over as an amazing return and everything while the fans just boo him.</font>

[parkmania]

Haven't the WWE, at least in recent years, been shying away from someone participating in the Rumble after having another match on the card?

If so, that means Wyatt, Bryan, Orton, Cena, Show, Lesnar, Cody, Goldust, and the NAO are out of the match.

[Emperor Smeat]

Think it usually depended on card position but baring a last minute change or two, Cody and Goldy are in the Rumble itself.

For some reason WWE is no longer advertising Bad News Barrett for Sunday's 30-man Royal Rumble match. Based on WWE's advertising, there are 5 spots open. The following stars are being advertised for the match: CM Punk, Batista, Alberto Del Rio, Cody Rhodes, Goldust, Rey Mysterio, Big E Langston, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Erick Rowan, Luke Harper, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, The Miz, Kofi Kingston, R-Truth, Xavier Woods, Fandango, Damien Sandow, Ryback, Titus O'Neil, Darren Young, Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro.

Sheamus is very likely to be taking one of those surprise spots with the others being rumored as themed spots. Whoever is #30 is going to get booed to hell if its not Bryan assuming he didn't take one of the other surprise spots.

Do some cable companies offer live streams of Smackdown from the taping feed? I heard something about that but nothing concrete.

The Royal Rumble is incomplete without Heath Slater

It's sad that guys like Damien Sandow, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Wade Barrett etc. are going nowhere.

Just found out that Raw is FINALLY getting broadcast live in Australia starting 4th Feb. Guess I won't be cancelling my Foxtel after all.

Im at a loss about rumble wins...want to say Itll be punk now Bryans not in but he's likely facing HHH at Mania so makes no sense.

Batista winning it would suck.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this Bryan vs Wyatt match ends with a Bryan win and he somehow 'Injures' one of the Wyatts and takes his spot and goes on to win..

That or returning Sheamus takes it.

Punk wins, Cena wins. Orton demands a rematch on Raw and loses when Lesnar interferes. Lesnar vs Cena at EC. Orton decides to pull his "steal someone's Rumble spot" trick by convincing Authority, who are pissed Punk won, into a match for his spot.

The only problem is this makes the title match at WM either Orton/Cena or Orton/Lesnar. I could see Punk getting added to Orton/Lesnar..

[Bad News Gertner]

Batista's gonna win it. He's pretty much the only major star without a program.

Punk/HHH
Cena is facing Orton
Taker/Bryan
Lesnar's facing Show and he's got a title shot coming up

MAYBE Sheamus

Ryback would be the tits.

[mike adamle]

They could give it to Jericho and let him get a good match in at mania against Orton or Cena, it'd be fresh and different.

[Droford]

My Orton Steals someones rumble spot idea would actually work perfectly with an underdog winning the Rumble like Kofi or Cody Rhodes.

Any truth to this? http://www.inquisitr.com/1104436/dwayne-johnson-vs-undertaker-was-planned-for-wwe-wrestlemania-30/

With the way things were going or it was wishful thinking but I had a feeling Brock vs The Rock 2 was in the works.

[CSL]

Rock himself a few weeks back said during some interview that Rock/Brock was the plan, no idea where the Rock/Taker reference came from in that
