Maybe they finally debut the new belt next week? I still don't think Cena winning is a 100% definite. Honestly, either result would be shocking to me because I'd somehow convince myself in the middle of the match X will win and then Y ends up winning. I'd imagine RAW1000 will have one of the biggest audiences (Vince is hoping so anyway) in a long long time, and what better way to establish the face of the new generation and the preferred superstar of the "lost demographic" as not just the guy who has had a hell of a year, not just the guy who is having a great run on top, but establish CM Punk as THE MAN in WWE. Everybody and their momma is going to convince themselves that "CENA WINS!!!1" and so having CM Punk win by hook or crook would be awesome because everybody will go nuts and the kids will cry and move on by SmackDown!

If the rumors of Punk turning heel down the road are true, I'd love to see The Rock screw Cena and Punk start acting semi-heelish and finally snapping and going off on all the "sheep" who supported him just over a year ago and already they have forgotten what he tried to teach all of them and they have forgotten to thank him for the best year in wrestling in over a decade. I still think top babyface Punk has a lot of mileage left in it, but maybe it wouldn't hurt to leave some tread on the tires for down the road. Besides, when is the last time a World Champion turned heel in the middle of a title reign? I can't remember and it isn't done all that much anyway, so it'd be unique and give Punk even more room to be creative in the ring and on the mic. No matter what he does, Punk will make it work and make it awesome.

isn't the 20 year mark for raw this coming january? how are they going to have 2 "giant" shows so close to each other?

6 months is a long time between "megashows".

His name hasn't been on the title since around the beginning of June. I don't know why though.

Yo Brit posters, theres a documentary on Channel 4 tonight @ 10pm about Paige from nXt and her family of wrestlers.

I am little surprised I have not sensed more excitement on here about a Ziggler-Jericho fued. Something I am missing?

A soul?

Checkmate.

Yo, it was there on Sunday.

AJ Should be allowed to hold the belt at all times.

The name plate has always been there. It's barely visible due to the color of the letters.

People seem to be enjoying this one

He knocked his block off!

I've downloaded the tout app. So far that's it. I missed my tout training on Monday. Tout.

A tournament is coming... I hope you are all ready.

BBC3 holds the pulse of Twitter in its hands.

She is pretty smokin hot, I will give her that.

Cool King is not impressed.

Probably a lot easier for Paige to be signed than her brother regardless of their passion or training just because of how few Divas or women wrestlers the WWE has at any time (main roster or in development). Less strict on the requirements for skills considering they used to hold annual Diva searches just to fill the female division roster.

I'd assume its also a lot easier for the WWE to develop a female wrestler to their style than a male since he needs to be decent with promos or provide a certain skill in order to stand out and be worth the investment.

I don't get it. Jack Swagger's World title reign is criticized a lot. He had a good match with Orton at Extreme Rules, his feud with Big Show was mildly entertaining (which is more entertaining than Cena's storylines) and his loss to Rey Rey was "shocking".

He was forgotten after.

HEY


Whatever happened to Dean Ambrose being THIS CLOSE to debuting on the big kid WWE shows?

Mick Foley buried him.

I weep in a corner every time he loses a match.

They decided to not call him up until he got a real Dean gimmick or changed his name.

Funny thing is, Show looks like he's just gonna grow another head.

I know the whole "snap/badass submission machine" thing is a very beaten dead whore around here, but this could honestly work for Swagger.

At the very least, as I've stated elsewhere, they need to repackage him as something other than a blatant Kurt Angle clone. Change up his look. Have him keep the 5 o'clock of a guy on a losing streak, have his hair all ragged, (important) have the announcers put over his losing streak and his frustration, ditch the singlet and the patriotic color scheme, and give him an edge.

There is something to having him be able to take the piss out of Ryback and yet not be able to "beat" him. Could give him and Skippy something to do in the way of a program.

This guy Lincoln Broderick in FCW has some sick facial hair. Really rooting for him to get the call soon.

Dude looks good, but after David Otunga, you can never be sure.

It doesn't look like he has a right shoulder.

It is part of his gimmick.

Isn't that his right shoulder, though?

That guy is from Cincinnati, Ohio, just like Dean Ambrose and me, Supreme Olajuwon. We should get coffee.

Also didn't realize Vader's kid is in FCW too.

That thing protruding from the front of where it seems his shoulder would be? Looks like his bicep has already begun. The shoulder was skipped.

Many second-generation guys over at FCW, but none has "broken through".

I wonder what's going on.

It seems like 85% of the FCW roster are either sons of former wrestlers or super cut black guys

Number One on yahoo.com right now.....John Cena Divorce War.


Fuck Vince there's your next PPV!

But it's crazy how the last second-generation wrestler that has really made it has been Cody.

There's a lot of them in FCW but they haven't been able to "make it", to distinguish themselves. It's strange.

Also, where's Ted Dibiase Jr? Is he injured?

Primo is doing alright for himself

Still healing from a shoulder injury earlier in the year.

Yeah, Primo really is having great matches as of late.

The Usos I guess "made it"

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I love The Usos. It bothers me that they haven't won the tag team belts yet.

does it really?

Bret Hart had a son that would write columns for WWF Magazine back in the day, I always thought he'd get in the "family business".

Nah. But I have been really emotional as of yet.

I actually enjoyed Swagger's title reign.

Also, who can forget "The Swaggie"?

He is also one of the last second-generation wrasslers who actually got to keep their second-generation name.

Gerald Mongoose is the real deal.

Does TNA have any good entrance themes?

Didn't Jeff Jarrett have a good one? I dunno, I was probably biased when I heard it anyway cause I love Jeff Jarrett.

I don't get it :?:

This is more bearable than Jarrett's theme.

Jeff Jarrett is far from the worst #chokeonthatslapnuts

I posted that two pages ago, AND NOBODY EVEN CARED.

Funny vid for Summerslam.

Interesting that Steve Austin isn't on the list of superstars with the most Raw matches. Not as many as The Miz, Test or Trish Stratus. Crazy.

I'm guessing he was mostly there for promos or to get kidnapped and nearly embalmed by the Undertaker.

Really surprised with Miz being on that list at all.

Kinda crazy that there's been 49 steel cage matches.

I definitely think that says something about booking a character that arguably the most over star in wrestling history didn't wrestle all that much on TV. As much as people complain about the lack of actual wrestling on Raw nowadays, when you have creative writers you can have intriguing angles and make people wanna see the big payoff on PPV.
