Wait, "another" reign? When was the first?

When will you be doing that?

I say 3, tops.

no one says that that way

I'm expecting a heel to walk out with the WWE Title, so a face winning the World Heavyweight Title would counter-balance that. Rey Mysterio could pin CM Punk, furthering their tension, meaning Swagger doesn't get pinned to lose the title. He can go on for months about not "losing." It'd be a whingy character not unlike Kurt Angle, but who cares?

I'd love to see both CM Punk and Jack Swagger in Money in the Bank next month. This year's winner versus the man who won it twice.

I imagine that when Swagger loses the World Title, it will be a Kurt Angle-like moment with tears, as everyone in the arena rips into The Swaggie for being a cry-baby. They could even have Jack Swagger's dad in attendence for the match, and slap Swagger after he loses, because "no one remembers silver." But that might make Swagger too sympathetic/pathetic.

Yeah great idea for Swagger to not be pinned. That would make his run less of a shit storm. Though I find him HIGHLY entertaining on the mic and in the ring, he isn't the best of the best.

I expect Swagger's character to head more in the direction it initially seemed to before they realise they had struck gold with his "championship address" character. He'd be all mopey and shit, but he'd Gutwrench Powerbomb the living shit out of everyone and everything the next few weeks.

It'd nourish that comedic side to his character, but it would also remind us that he's a force to be reckoned with in the ring.

For the record: I would probably go with Swagger retaining the WHT at the PPV. I like Swagger, and I think they could easily book him as World Heavyweight Champion until the end of the year. In the ring, he's always delivering, and I think that he has one-on-one matches set-up with Rey Mysterio and even Kofi Kingston (although that would probably be a televised main event). I'd maybe have Christian win Money in the Bank and upset Swagger's title reign for a little bit. Christian could point out that he ended both Swagger's title reigns then.

But yeah, in my perfect world, Wade Barrett would be walking out of Fatal 4-Way as WWE Champion to give this "Nexus" angle a big boost. It just depends on whether or not you trust both Barrett and Swagger at the top of your cards as the World Champions this early into their runs.

I am not opposed or in favor to Rey winning the title. It's just 'whatever' to me. I don't think it's particularly exciting since it's been done and he's a veteran.

I also don't think it's so bad. Who cares that he's so small? He's always been insanely popular and over, and booked as a singles threat. I could care less because it's not real. Shawn Michaels beating Big Show or Undertaker is just as ridiculous in theory.
I was actually happy when Rey won the title, because he had always been a great performer who was popular enough to win a world title, but not "big enough."
I never thought it would happen and it was nice to see.

The booking for his title reign sucked, but I'm over it. I have no problem with him winning it, and I'll judge the quality of the reign itself on how it's booked, not his height or past events.
Plus he's already held the title once. It's not the end of the world if it happens again briefly.

Meh. Well...he did. Blah.

Rey's nice so that means he should be the champion?? Really now? Rey's almost ten year old match is something fresh?? Dude are you watching WCW tapes from 96 when Smackdown's on?

Feel sorry for Swag

I have nothing to base this off but I can easily imagine Rey demanding a title win as "compensation" for not taking time off - despite the fact that his hiatus was postponed due to him injuring Taker.

Yeah, part of me is suspicious that they did this partially because Rey saved them when The Undertaker got hurt. Rey is a good wrestler, and is over, though -- so there's that to consider. The Swaggie isn't done yet.

This is obviously just a clever ploy by WWE creative to get more of the 12 and under crowd to go to SD! tapings as opposed to RAW, although I'm sure even if he's not champ anymore, they'll still flock to RAW as well in hopes that Cena will soon regain the title.

I havent watched wrestling since 2010

Bound for Glory was a great PPV, so I agree there. I normally don't watch TNA but because I'm "sick", I've been in bed a lot so I've been watching any wrasslin I could find...

I haven't watched it reguarly since 2003.

Haven't watched since 2010? Dear God you missed this!!

He went on to end The Undertakers streak at Wrestlemania that year.

THE RYBACK is all you need to know.

"The Rock" does not be long in 2013. Fact.
 

Just go away.

agreed, :) BillyBonez is a legend.

Lol holding down vanilla midgets drawing 2.7 ratings

The Rock sold out back when he quit wrestling, and said he'd never return.
Now this blow fish, is being greedy. wonder how much dick sucking it took before Vince gave him the title?

Why hasn't WWE signed ROB TERRY yet?
 

If there ever was ONE talent worth stealing in that dump of crap called Total Non Stop Action (Total Non Stop Crap) then it was the man they called Rob Terry. I mean look at him...
http://i.thisis.co.uk/274200/article...026/332732.jpg

He has the look of a champions! He is BUILD! He has a baby face! He just oozes charisma because when you believe it or not but looks matter in wrestling. A guy with a big belly and man tits is NOT going to Wrestlemania but a guy like Rob Terry should.

Last I read, TNA is WASTING Rob Terry in that garbage can, OVW.

I think a good move by the WWE would be to sign Rob Terry and have him debut on RAW by taking out The Rock.

Rock: You stole my fucking gimmick.

When did this crap start anyway? In days past, people were excited about big stars coming back for wrestle mania. When hogan came back to fight the rock at wm18, no one was like "Man that fuckers taking chuck palumbo's spot!"

All of a sudden everyone is getting their panties in a twist because billy midcard's spot in wrestlemania is taken by a bigger more entertaining star.

I don't give a fuck about what's fair. I want to be entertained. And considering that the rock on his worst day is still more entertaining than most of the roster on their best, I don't have a problem with him being there.

Why is the WWE not using Rey Mysterio properly.
 

Because at this point in his career he gets injured when a stray wind blows on him.

Also, he's fat now.

Curious to know why a sin cara/mysterio team doesn't belong in wwe

Age, injuries, other guys around.

Might have started around the year Melina and/or Morrison publicly complained about Trish hogging a spot at Mania.

People complain about The Rock taking a spot but the WWE is to blame more considering last year they used him solely for Cena and this year rushed a Rock-Punk feud just to go back to Cena again.

Yeah, that one really bugged me. Who the fuck are Morrison and Melina to be saying that shit. Maybe Melina would have made it to wrestlemania if she had even half the talent of Trish Stratus.

I've seen autistic chimps who could talk better than him. He made Benoit look like the second coming of the rock.

Morrison had a great look and did some fancy stuff in the ring, but he was right where he belonged.

The most electrical man in sports entertainment.

This thread is moronic. Not only because of the lack of proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar in the initial post, but because the post makes assumptions that are just wrong.

The Rock is arguably the most entertaining man professional wrestling has ever seen. On top of that, he can still work. His wrestling ability still surpasses many on the main roster. In my opinion, his "style" in the last two matches with Punk are a result of bad booking, not a lack of ability or chemistry between the two performers.

Body-wise, The Rock looks better than most, wait, all of the other wrestlers on the roster. He's 41, and still omits electricity when he's in the ring like a mega-star, something many performers of today can only dream of.

The talk about other wrestlers' spots being "taken" is annoying. We all know there are a limited amount of spots for exposure and TV. But you know, some poor jabroni who isn't even near the stature of The Rock didn't have their spot taken, they never had the spot to begin with. Nobody is being held down.

The Rock is furthering the product and pushes whoever he works with to the next level. CM Punk is one of the only reasons to watch pro wrestling, and his feud with The Rock has been great. The real shame is that Punk could possibly be snubbed from the WWE Title match at WM29 not because of The Rock, but because of John Cena. Now Cena is the guy people should be complaining about. Dude's a stand up guy, does a ton for the company and for his fans, but he can't work. His matches are terrible and the only thing that dictates whether the match is solid or not is the guy he works with. CM Punk will be snubbed for us to see "Twice In A Lifetime," not because of The Rock on his own.

Stop complaining, The Rock was and still is The Great One. He's earned the name and nobody thinks he's going to "stick around." He's here for as long as he can be, then he'll go do his thing and come back when he can again. Anybody mention The Undertaker? Dude wrestles once a year, maybe has one other appearance on Raw and nobody says a thing. That schedule would be something to resent.

Know your damn role.

Yeah Morrison was about on the level of Kofi Kingston or Shelton Benjamin. Fun to watch at times, really fun to watch in spot fests like MitB, Royal Rumble, TLC etc, but reeeeeeeeeeeeally boring character-wise.

Fraze, Cena is their biggest draw. Punk is getting snubbed by the majority of WWE's fanbase, not John Cena.

They're also statues.

And he's fucking terrible, they have Mason Ryan for that.

the question is why zack ryder is not at tna yet to join the robs

where has mason ryan been?

I guess it'd be cool if they kept Rey and Sin Cara teaming and in a cluster fuck tag title ladder match this year. Maybe even won it. Then eventually turn on each other later in the year culminating in a match at WrestleMania XXX. Rey vs. Sin Cara is a lucha libre dream match and really should happen at a WrestleMania.

Wang, Be Long

Because Alberto Del Rio, being younger elicits a better crowd reaction, so like it or not he’s their token Mexican.

Just thank your lucky stars they didn’t pick Juan for that...can you imagine how awful that would be?

do your homework, he was in OVW in 2007-2008 and WWE released him....

Exactly, the reason is he's nothing special in the grand scheme of wrestlers. There are plenty of bodybuilders turned wrestlers out there. I saw him wrestle at a TNA house show (given free tickets) and he'sreally cumbersome in the ring. He doesn't have much chrisma either, so there's no real reason to sign him.

i'd like to say i missed william bonez and his homo erotic posts, but

Maybe the statue comparison wasn't too far off the mark...

injured I think, showed up on nxt a couple weeks back though.

Hard to use the guy at all when he spends 70% of the year on the sidelines.

The rock does be short in 2013? or The Rock does not belong in 2013? In which case, what do we do? Get Doc and Marty on the case?

January 1st 2013: Sorry Rock, you do not belong in this year. Please either go back or pass to 2014.

My brain hurts.

Last time I saw Rey Mysterio was at the Rumble and he looked like I could beat him up. Little short dude with a beer gut.

Rob Van Dam is one of a kind.

Uh... you do realize that Punk was the second best merchandise seller during his face run, right behind Cena right? Punk's not being shunned by anyone, the fans love the guy and he's a perfect top heel or even second face.

As for the topic of the thread, I don't agree with the whole Rock taking people's spots thing. I mean I see where it comes form, and I'm sure him being in the title match is taking a few minutes that could have been used for some sap like Brodus to do a comedy skit, but it's not like he's keeping anyone from being in the main event. Punk will either be fighting Taker or in a triple with Cena and Rock so he's right were he should be, and I'm sure Sheamus and Ryback will be involved with the shield so all the young main event guys have a spot at mania guaranteed.

They haven't hired him because 1) They've got Mason Ryan, 2) He's terrible, and 3) Even TNA needs a big, dumb oaf around.

Haven't we had a conversation about this before?

Just no.

The Rock returning to the WWE is nothing but a shot in the arm. Yes, it's good for business in terms of short term buyrates and one-off revenue streams. But while it's good for the WWE in those terms, it does nothing for the WWE in terms of building future superstars.

Everyone recognizes the problem that's been so apparent for the past 3-4 years especially: the mid-card in the WWE has not equated to any major stars and the WWE relies too heavily on old-timers to fill out their major show of the year. And that's all fine for the time being, but it's not a long term solution. Triple H and Undertaker show up and put on a match of a lifetime and then disappear for the rest of the year. Jericho shows up 2 months out and gets a WWE Championship at Mania. The Rock shows up sporadically to cut promos, beats Cena in the main event of Mania, and then disappears again for the rest of the calendar year before coming back to win the WWE Championship. Now he's going to main event WrestleMania again.

Meanwhile, superstars who deserve attention, recognition and pushes into the main event get their legs cut out from under them because all of the focus is on Rock, Lesnar and Triple H, and possibly Undertaker. Everyone else looks amateur compared to The Rock, and when he leaves again after Mania, they're still going to look amateur.

The argument could be made that it would've been better for the WWE as a whole for guys like The Rock and Brock Lesnar to just stay away and for guys like Undertaker and Triple H to just retire, as it would give the current crop of WWE superstars no choice but to evolve, grow and become the new tier of main eventers for years to come.

Who said WWE has been misusing Rey Rey? He put over Miz quite nicely a few weeks back! :)

Agreed! Zacky Zack complains in hopes the squeaky wheel shall be greased but WWE tends to remove the wheel rather than to oil it. I expect Ryder to be released after 'Mania.

Speaking of which, do laid off WWE Superstars get unemployment insurance, or are they truly independent contractors? Does anyone know a former WWE talent who received a W2 instead of a 1099 when receiving annual paycheck summaries?

I remebard wen i said tha rok ww champ n now i say hey ha ha ha ha i was right agan about that THE ROCK

This is a dumb thing to even debate, The Rock is the shit

also for a list of years the rock belongs in

WWE Should sign Garrett Bischoff since he looks like Brad Maddox

Is that a sentence?

This guy obviously doesn't know who The Shockmaster was.

Lets not put the biggest draws on the biggest ppv of the year. Sounds like a terrible idea. You have 10 months to build your character and if you have not made it out of the pact then sit your ass at home. Vince and the WWE want money and that does not include putting bums on the biggest event of the year.

I had a dream I met John Cena
 

So basically you and Cena went shopping for clothes together?...

I had a dream that you had a dream where you met John Cena. Weird.

I wrote a wrestling promo
 

Nice effort, but too repetitive, all you need to say is "You just want to be me, but you will never be as good as me." Say it once and be done, otherwise you start getting boring and repetitive.

"That's why I reign!"....Reign were? Why is that why you reign?

" You stare back and you see me. But you don't see me because you're too stupid to see me. Instead you see your doom but you also see your role model."

None of this makes any sense, do I see you or not?

An entire show from my fantasy action figure fed...(Why I should write for WWE)
 

But if you were me, then I'd be you, and I'd use your body to get to the top!

Gotta admit dude, I only scrolled through this, but all I saw was "The Asian Satan"...I don't know if that's horrible or awesome :D

my head hurts

:y:

Just call the other rassler a fag. That's way better and more thought provoking!

I wrote one too.


Look here, Billy you call yourself, yourself, but really
I created you, I will rule you, and make you my bitch.
Take you into places you've never even thought existed.

I can be your worst nightmare, Son you go ahead and
play with your little toys at night, if it helps you sleep,
but when you dream, boy that's when I appear. that's when your
nightmares begin. you wake up realizing was it just a dream, however
you look into the mirror after splashing water on your face, then see my reflection. That's right I scare the fuck outta you son.

Now what on earth are you going to do because, I'm hotter than hell
The demon child, the devil never wanted, I will crucifix you.

That just kind of makes you sound like a child molester with learning difficulties

It's ok that's my gimmick
