World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)

Sheamus is limited but really has worked hard to help other guys get ahead lately (either that or he's in the doghouse for some reason?)...

I read some reports that his initial 'push' was cause him and Triple H work out together.  But Kevin Dunn, Vince's right hand man since the '80s, doesn't like him all that much and has been putting him in less than stellar programs.  I'm sure that now that HHH is back both on camera and off, it could change.  I could see Sheamus/Morrison/Bryan having a solid Triple Threat at WreslteMania.

I started watching it again after a 6-8 year hiatus. I like the Miz, the guy that looks like William Regal 2(I think he has Nexus or something) and that guy that comes out to Flight of the Valkyries.

I saw the advertisement for the elimination ppv and heard they were using the HOWIE SCREAM which made me chuckle.

RIP Benoit :(

Daniel Bryan is a great wrestler.  He's the one using "Flight of the Valkyries."  He's very much like a Benoit type. 

After RAW it's becoming a little clearer what's going to happen ina  few weeks at the biggest show of the year. I'm hoping for a good build up and that unlike the last two years ( Taker vs Michaels, Taker vs Michaels 2) it don't be a one match show.

A few of the matchups look promising.  CM Punk/Orton should be entertaining.  Miz/Cena with Rock as the Special Ref.  HHH/Undertaker with HBK as the Ref.  Lawler vs. Cole should be interesting considering Cole's lack of experience but, eh.

so did last years card but it felt like everything was really rushed except Bret vs Vcine which went 20 years and a day and Taker and Mciahels

I actually watched Wrestlemania 26 again over the last couple of days..overall I thought it was a pretty solid show. The most disappointing matches were Bret vs. Vince and the women's 10 person tag but both featured non-wrestlers so I guess that's about all one should expect. Bret's beatdown on McMahon just came across as way too heelish, like a bitter old man beating up an even older man. Taker-HBK was the best match by far with the best story and rightly closed the show. I liked Edge-Jericho and the Money in the Bank match too although both had some botched spots and I'd say they were the next best matches on the show. The Orton-DiBiase-Rhodes match was much better than I expected as was the opening tag with Miz-Big Show vs. R-Truth & Morrison - not a bad short match to open the show. Punk-Mysterio was too rushed and Cena-Batista was just average I thought. Triple H-Sheamus was too long but a bit better than I expected too. The Battle Royal bonus was no better than one that might appear on Raw.

Ranking the matches:

1. Taker vs. Michaels
2. Edge vs. Jericho
3. Money in the Bank 10 man ladder match
4. Orton-DiBiase-Rhodes
5. Punk vs. Mysterio
6. Sheamus vs. HHH
7. Cena vs. Batista
8. Miz-Big Show vs. Morrison/Truth
9. Bret vs. Vince
10. 10 Women's Tag
11. Battle Royal

I was wondering if anyone else watches NXT. It's like the perfect bad movie in my opinion.

As a fan, I wanted to like that match.  I just couldn't.  Bret is in a condition where he CAN'T be physically touched.  Vince is like, 67.  So it turned into a dreammatch that was just a really really underwhelming segment of Bret using a chair for 12 minutes of a 20 minute match.  Just should've been left off.

I watched the first two seasons.  Once it went strictly online, I haven't seen it.  It's really bad.

I don't know if anyone watches TNA here but they did a promo package last Thursday that looks like a very intentional ripoff the Undertaker return videos. It's on their YouTube channel.

I found it to be hilarous.

[JaseSF]

Maybe they resigned Sting? Or could it be Abyss?

[HappyGilmore]

I think they re-signed Sting. 

[bob]

I think they re-signed Sting. 

As do I.

[JaseSF]

Yes read online they resigned Sting and plans are for him to face Jeff Hardy at the next PPV.

Did anyone read Chris Jerico's book? I read a little of it and thought it was cool. They really made him prove himself at WWE. They didn't care how big a star he was at WCW, He had to start from scratch. He took all the crap and finally got respected. It's a good look at the psychology involved in wrestling. He talks about McMahon being a real tyrant and chewing him out over a match with Chyna. He also talks about how Kane is really a super smart guy. Good read.

Is that in his first or second book? I own his first book but haven't read it since I bought it and have a horrible memory.

This is the new one I think it's called "Undisiputed" or something like that. I don't have it, I just read about 20 pages on Amazon, and based on what I read so far, I liked it.

Turns out Kane was like, an English teacher or an English major or some such.

For some reason I want to say is a Spanish teacher.
