wwe vs tnt anyone watching?

^ The only way that this would interest me is if they promoted it as the final match between the two brothers. Like I said they already did a really good feud with each other last year that was generally well received for the most part but if they go back to Old School Kane with the mask then maybe I'll be interested. Otherwise meh. Rehash.

Taker has said on multiple occasions that he would like his last match to be against Kane. I'm speculating that the return to the mask is in an effort to build Kane as the unstoppable force that he once was - perhaps as a prelude to a match with Undertaker at WM28.
 
either they do a match aginsit each other @ wm 28 or they come back as the brothers of destruction and take the unifiyed tag titles. either way it'd be awesoem.
 
I'd prefer an one on one match rather than a Brothers of Destruction reunion. Never really marked out for them as a tag team to be honest.
 
Rumour has it Cupid Stunt (by which I mean Zach Ryder, for future reference) is getting backstage heat for having dyed his hair blond, when all his merch has him with dark hair. I think he should be fired immediately and criminal charges brought.
 
I'm getting bored of Ryder now. Over exposure for someone who probably won't be pushed very long. Another thing WWE has dropped the ball on.
 
The last time I saw someone who acts like Zach Ryder, he was licking the windows on the sunshine bus. Scotty 2 Hotty would have turned his nose up at him. A once proud show of edgy violence reduced to muppets like him and muppets like the Muppets.
 
The thing is that WWE lumbered Ryder with a crappy gimmick, but he did his absolute best to get it over and it worked. You have to commend the guy for working his ass off to get a "future endeavours" gimmick to very near the top of the WWE!
 
I commend a guy for using social media to get himself over, but essentially what that creates is another fad in the form of a wrestler. Right now Zach is a fad. He'll either be granted another US Title shot against Ziggler due to the "petition" and win it and this thing will actually be worth it or he'll lose again and it will fade away. I'm just not really into the WOO WOO WOO WOO nonsense. If WWE really wants to make something out of this they'll push him instead of making him an over glorified jobber. Or the next "Scotty 2 Hotty" which is what he currently reminds me of just on a bigger level.
 
This reminds me, what does everyone think of push failures?

Biggest main event push fail: Some might argue that Sin Cara would fit this description, but I reckon that the biggest push fail in recent memory is Vladamir Kozlov's 2008-2009 mega push. They spent weeks building him up, having him beat jobbers, then the Smackdown roster and finally - even the Undertaker, on his way to a WWE Championship feud with Triple H. What happened? The feud blew up as soon as it begun because fans just didn't buy into Kozlov and were still hot on Jeff Hardy who they voted in place of Kozlov (WWE's choice) at Cyber Sunday. Eventually it came down to a Survivor Series triple threat that then became a singles match before Edge was added into the match at the last second. Edge won the championship and then angle with Triple H was aborted and Kozlov was quickly dropped to the mid card. I actually thought that Kozlov was gaining momentum and might be going somewhere until WWE released him earlier this year.

Biggest waste of potential: That's got to be Shelton Benjamin, who for a time was arguably the most exciting new worker in the WWE. In 2004 he was even given a brief push where he scored pinfall victories over the likes of Ric Flair and Triple H before beginning a meaningful Intercontinental Championship run. So where did it fall apart? The guy couldn't really talk and wasn't given much room to learn, he was essentially placed in one off matches on cards and became an opponent for anyone on their way to the top. Despite being the star of most of the MITB matches, he never got further than that on his way back to the main event path and was released from the promotion in 2010
 
This is a no brainer for me: The Miz. WTF WWE? Really? You build up the Miz as your top heel and make him the face of your company. Then you make him WWE Champion over Randy Orton who was at the time super over (angry miz girl anyone? LOL). You book him against the top "babyface" Cena and Miz retains the title at Wrestlemania thanks to the Rock of all people...WHAT!!!?? I said Rock WHAT??? Rocky. WHAT???? Rocky Mavia. WHAT??? Anyways then the next month after you have him drop it to Super Cena. That made angry Miz fan :)
 
The Miz is great on the mic and a terrific heel. But is he all that in the ring? Alright yes, I know that's not much of a concern for a company that's had Stone Cold, the Rock, HHH, JBL and Randy Orton at the top, but it is for me who still likes to see good wrestling.
 
Slam Wrestling reports that John Morrison is done as of Monday's Raw. Also Jonah Hill filmed a segment but it was cut due to time restraints LOL. Good.


@Jetfire....that was an awesome segment. The night Awesome Truth was born!!!

One has to wonder whether his appearance at Survivor Series was a gesture from WWE (awarding him a final PPV bonus) to Morrison in recognition of his hard work over the years (he's been with the WWE since 2002, if you count his time spent on Tough Enough and in developmental).

I fully expect Morrison to resurface in TNA in Feburary when his 90 day no-compete period is up. I'm thinking he will revert to some variation of his real name - John Hennigan, since "John Morrison" is copyrighted by WWE.
 
Seriously if I was John Hennigan I would wrestle in ROH or NJP...TNA is a joke. :p
 
Yeah everyone expects Morrison to sign in TNA. I don't believe that Melina has signed yet...perhaps she's waiting for John's 90 day thing to expire next year lol. Or they've talked about some other alternative like ROH???
