Yeah but it be nice to do it on smackdown once in a while( i know Raw is the bigger show) just feels SD is lagging behind and even the Vault matches are better than the live ones.Quote:

Nah Smackdown is by far the better show I reckon and with the matches that get longer viewtime. There is less talking on it.
CM Punks promo. :bow:
Burned.
:lol:
That was awesome.
Was he due to win the title at the next ppv? Or was that part scripted?
No idea.
WrestleMania 29, Vince make it happenQuote:
RANDY ORTON blasted The Rock, humiliated Kelly Kelly and made unkind comments about other wrestlers in an explosive new radio interview.
The Viper was fuming at Rocky, alleging the movie star got him into trouble with WWE bosses after downplaying his WrestleMania return.
Orton was appearing on an American radio show and recalled some of the comments he made about The Rock before WrestleMania, with added emphasis, before describing how he ended up in hot water.
He said: "The Rock comes back to our show to do this programme with Cena going into WrestleMania and he cuts this promo talking about how he never left and he promises he's never going to leave again.
"The WWE has always been a place in his heart and the fans 'if it wasn't for you...'
"Then he wasn't around for weeks to come. He literally said 'I promise I will never leave you again.'
"Someone had asked me who I thought was better, John Cena or Rock. I said Rock needs a teleprompter. Rock needs a writer to write all his stuff.
"Cena is awesome on the mic. When it comes to wrestling in the ring and the technical aspect, I feel as if I blow him away. I feel like I'm more of an athlete.
"The guy can squat 800lbs, I'm not saying he's not an athlete, but watching him I feel he's a little bulky, big. A little stiff, hard to move, robotic. That certainly hasn't hurt him. That's not necessarily a dig.
"I'm much better but on the microphone, he's light years ahead of all of us. Including The Rock.W
Orton added: "I heard Vince was mad, and John Laurinaitis, the Vice President of Talent Relations, pulled me to one side and I shouldn't have said this going into WrestleMania.
"Basically, Rock called the office and said 'Randy Orton did an interview and buried me and Triple H.'
"Now I talked about Triple H and Undertaker's match, talking about how I respected these guys. I didn't 'bury' Triple H, but Rock threw his name in the mix so that it would get attention.
"So I actually talked to Hunter about it, and it's this big to-do over nothing.
"Rock never came to me. I've worked with him before. I thought about going up to him in catering and saying 'Really? Is that what we do here?'"
Orton then inferred WWE Diva Kelly Kelly has a reputation for sleeping around in the locker room and that she has had sex with a number of wrestlers including Dolph Ziggler.
But he subsequently made an apology on Twitter, stating: "I owe Kelly K and apology.
"The fact that she has dated a few guys I work with doesn't make her a bad person, and is also none of my or anyone else's business.
"Yesterday I got caught up in a live radio interview and brought Kelly's personal life into it. It was completely uncalled for.
"Kelly, I hope one day you can forgive me. I do however understand if that doesn't happen. Please everyone, trash me all you want, but please drop this topic out of respect for Barb."
During the interview, which you can listen to here, Orton also criticised Mark Henry and The Great Khali for being poor wrestlers, and confirmed a long known rumour that The Miz and Maryse are dating.

JOHN CENA has fanned the flames in his war of words with The Rock with a stunning tirade on his rival Down Under.
Cena is set to face The Great One in the main event at WrestleMania 28 as their bitter three-year feud finally comes to a head.
And, after beating R-Truth at a house show in Perth, Australia, Cena grabbed a microphone to hit back at fans who had chanted his adversary's name.
He blasted: "The Rock didn't want to come over to Australia. The Rock is back in the United States of America enjoying a prolific career as an actor.
"I don't give a damn about how much money he's got and I don't give a damn if he's up in his mansion relaxing waiting for his next lead role.
"I give a damn that he had the balls to stand in the middle of this ring and say that he was back and that he was never leaving again.
"Yet here I am and we all wonder where is the so-called People's Champion? Where is the so-called captain of Team Bring It?
"And if he is the captain of Team Bring It, what are they bringing? A doctor's note that says he can't fly all the way to Australia and entertain the WWE Universe?
"I don't care if I have to play GI Joe, Fast Five, Fast Six, Godzilla, King Kong and Julius Caesar all rolled into one, I want to be in the middle of this ring defending this championship in front of all of you because I am not an actor.
"I am a professional wrestler and that is what I do because of crowds like you.
"So if you five want to cheer for an actor to get back in the ring, you take your cheers and your T-shirts with the bull, fold them up real nice, put them in your dresser and wait for April 1 because that's the only time the People's Champ will say that he loves all of you."
Cena's war of words with The Rock started on these very pages when he slammed the movie star for turning his back on the wrestling industry.
The Rock's last major in-ring appearance for WWE was in 2004 when he and Mick Foley were beaten by Randy Orton, Ric Flair and Batista at WrestleMania 20.

Cenas right tbh. When i went to watch Raw back in April, we expected The Rock to make an appearance especially as we knew he was in London at the same time promoting Fast Five but the cunt never showed.
Hope Cena kicks his ass
Much as i like Orton he is behaving like a tit tbhQuote:

THE ROCK has hit back at John Cena following his shocking tirade in Australia.
Cena slammed The Great One for failing to take part in the WWE's latest tour Down Under and questioned his commitment to the wrestling business.
But The Rock — who is set to collide with Cena in the main event at Wrestlemania in April — has hinted he could return to the ring before then to settle his differences with his adversary.
The moviestar said: "The Rock ain't waiting until Wrestlemania. The Rock, and the millions upon millions of 'Team Bring It' — we're going to come and find you before Wrestlemania.
"We're going to whoop your ass before Wrestlemania.
"And The Rock is going to drop a little hint where it's going to be. It's going to all go down in the city where Rock's dreams came true. In a city where it all started for The Rock.
"From the moment The Rock walked in that historic arena, and thousands and thousands chanted The Rock's name, his very first night was the moment that The Rock and those fans, the moment that The Rock and that city, became one. For life."
These comments have led to some suggesting The Rock is referring to Chicago, where he made his first Wrestlemania appearance in 1997 at the Rosemont Horizon.
WWE will hold the eagerly anticipated Money in the Bank PPV in Chicago this Sunday.
However, it is more likely his comments refer to his WWE debut in Madison Square Garden, New York City at the previous year's Survivor Series.
WWE are due to return to MSG for this year's event in November.
In a stunning 11-minute blast, The Rock — real name Dwayne Johnson — added: "When The Rock said he was back and was never going away, I meant it. The Rock is back.
"The Rock is back in the WWE Universe. The Rock headlining this past Wrestlemania, headlining next year's Wrestlemania.
"As embarrassing as this is for The Rock to say, John Cena, because you are the WWE champion, you are at the same time a complete goof. You are a complete idiot.
"You had this notion in you head that when The Rock said he was never going away that he had to be at every single show, every single night, every live event. No, John Cena, that's not what it means. Idiot.
"It's not what was ever expected of The Rock. Why?
"Because The Rock has already done it.
"You run your mouth — your idiotic mouth: 'If The Rock says he's back and if he doesn't come to every show, that must mean he doesn't care.'
"Let The Rock tell you something, goof. Every time The Rock goes back to an event in the WWE it's because he cares.
"He cares about the people, he wants to entertain the people. Because let me tell you something, The Rock ain't doing it for the money, John. I'm doing ok!
"Here's another fact. You go to every single show every single night? You do it — fact — for the pay check.
"You do it for the money because, John, you damn sure ain't doing it for free."

THE ROCK claims WWE superstar John Cena wrestles only for cash
Wrestling
Cena took to Twitter with a series of responses: "Just saw Dwayne's statement. Via satellite of course.
"Looks like I have really made him mad. But, certainly not mad enough to show up and do anything. Maybe he can send a stuntman.
"Dwayne. I am a WWE employee, and a proud one. The difference between us is you left for 'greener pastures'. For me...this is what I love.
"I have never begged for anyone's admiration or acceptance, you don't believe me..watch MITB. It's not about that. It's about showing up.
"I'd rather wrestle a thousand 'Punks' than one 'Rock'. Because I can see his passion. Wish I could see yours...yer just never there. :)
"Until April 1st. Keep on bringing it my man. You're doing great."

Read the results.
Just seen it. Was pretty good. All the matches were tbh. Didn't watch the divas one though.Raw should be good
I think kayfabe, yeah he is. Better idea after RAW tonight. The repeat of the event is on Sky Sports sometime this evening I think.Quote:

Also, why is he always called D-Brian now? Sounds retarded.
Think its just Booker who calls him that although I don't watch Smackdown so might be wrong about that
During the MITB match it was at least Cole as well iirc, maybe he was just gently mocking but subtlety tends to be beyond WWE.
Hopefully it'll just go away.
It was a bit annoying admittedly.Anyway thought the SD MITB match was better than the Raw one. Its a shame Sin Cara wasn't involved more but the move that took him out was pretty brutal. Surprised with the winner as well. Expected the Raw winner though
Just saw it. Missed some of Ortons match and why was Rey getting booed. Think Del rio rippping of the mask means we will see a riovs rey feud coming up again, mask vs the briefcase anyone.Quote:

The Randy v Christian matches have been awesome tbh. Ortons the best in the business atm.
Sin Cara has been suspended for a wellness policy violation hence the brutal spot I guess.
Also, saw RAW, very interesting end. I guess something like this has been coming for a while now. Still no clearer as to what might happen with Punk though!
I suspect Rey was booed due to his feud with CM Punk, even though that was a while ago now.Quote:

Hes having a shockerQuote:
MASKED WWE wrestler Sin Cara has been suspended for violating the company's Wellness Policy.
The Mexican import, who became famous in his own country under the name Mistico, will be missing for a month due to an infraction.
A WWE.com statement read: "In accordance with its Talent Wellness Program, WWE has suspended Luis Ignascio Urive Alvirde (Sin Cara) for 30 days for his first violation of the company's policy."
WWE gave no more details about the suspension, but PWInsider.com and other wrestling websites are reporting that Sin Cara failed a steroid test a month ago.
The star made his WWE debut in March to much fanfare, but has underwhelmed in his performances so far.
He was part of the Smackdown Money in the Bank match at Sunday's PPV, and was powerbombed through a ladder by Sheamus, presumably writing him off TV until his suspension ends.

I assume the anonymous GM angle is dead thenQuote:
TRIPLE H has taken over from Vince McMahon as on-screen figurehead of Raw - amid rumours that the same thing is about to happen in real life.
The Game appeared at the end of Raw for the first time since the night after Wrestlemania to deliver the message to his father-in-law that, in the storyline, the board of directors had declared a 'vote of no confidence' in the Chairman and that Hunter would take over immediately.
This announcement came at the end of a Raw which struggled to live up to the previous night's standout Money in the Bank PPV.
They were never going to be able to deliver such an amazing night of action again, but it still felt like some of the momentum from the previous evening did not carry across.
Vince McMahon started the show by announcing a one-night, eight-man tournament to determine a new WWE Champion.
The fact that he was about to create a new champ, just 24 hours after CM Punk won the belt and disappeared, seemed to undercut his major fears about what would happen if Punk took the belt elsewhere. If he can make a new champion just like that, why was he afraid of the consequences of Punk's victory?
Speaking of Punk, he did not appear on Raw and was sparingly mentioned, with McMahon stating that his name would not be uttered. This was to build up the realism that his departure is legitimate, although John Cena would mention Punk towards the end of the show.
The tournament progressed to leave Rey Mysterio and The Miz in the final but, with little time left on the show, Vince interrupted and aid the final was postponed. He had declared that John Cena was to face serious consequences for not beating Punk and wanted to deliver on that.
Cena cut a fierce promo on the mic, with WWE again sailing as close to the wind in terms of worked shoot comments as they ever have done.
After briefly addressing 'Kevin' (Dunn, WWE producer) Cena tore into Vince. He then turned to the hard camera and said to Punk: "If you are out there watching, it was a hell of a match last night, son. Thank you so much."
He then made the first ever allusion to TNA on a WWE show. Addressing the possibility of McMahon firing him, Cena said: "I love the WWE and I truly believe I belong here. And man, I hate saying this, but if you're about to tell me that I'm not welcome here, if you're about to tell me that I have no other option. ....I love this. This is what I do.
"But if you make me walk tonight, then I will walk on someone else's television show and keep doing this, brother!"
As Vince was about to fire Cena, Triple H emerged in a suit, and delivered his speech to Vince. It was a little corny at times - Hunter saying "I love you, Pop" made the crowd groan - but Vince did a great job of crying in the moment, and this is a most intriguing storyline twist.
This was obviously a scripted angle, but rumours are gathering that Vince may well take a step back in the near future.
Former WWE star Sean 'X-Pac' Waltman tweeted on Sunday night, referring to Triple H, saying: "The text he sent me today makes much more sense now. That was the real deal, that last five or however many minutes".
He later said: "To clarify my tweet last night. Raw last night was on a symbolic level."
Jason Powell of ProWrestling.net reported that he spoke to Waltman, who told him the comments were "more a case of the Hunter and Vince segment playing on the real life situation of Triple H shadowing Vince for the last year and being groomed to take over the position someday."
For now, the change is on the TV show. The hope is that WWE continues to provide the quality of the last months or so, with focus on wrestlers and titles, and not simply yet another wrestling power struggle.

http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/punk-invaded-comic-conQuote:
It seems that the de facto holder of the WWE Championship and former WWE Superstar CM Punk is not done poking a stick at his previous place of business
Thursday morning, during Mattel's WWE panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2011, the ex-WWE Superstar reemerged with the WWE Title still in his possession, strolling into a conference room where Triple H, Hall of Famer Bret “Hit Man” Hart and Rey Mysterio were answering questions.
Punk promptly began to ridicule Triple H – the very Superstar and WWE executive who recently relieved Mr. McMahon of his leadership duties as WWE Chairman on Monday Night Raw.
Punk's mocking led to an intense verbal confrontation between Punk and Triple H. When Punk asked the subject of his scorn, “how’s life in Fantasy Land?” Triple H responded, “how’s the unemployment line?”
Addressing Rey Mysterio about WWE’s match this Monday night on Raw to crowd a new WWE Champion, Punk invited The Master of the 619 to Chicago anytime that he wants a title opportunity.
Triple H tried to maintain his professional decorum. After pointing out that “a champion performs,” he informed Punk that “it is a new regime” in WWE, inviting Punk to “give [him] a call and maybe [they] could work something out.”
In the end, the self-exiled Punk left as swiftly as he emerged, brandishing the WWE Championship as he went.
The new head of WWE continued to address the situation after the disruption was over, commenting that he was astounded that the WWE Universe continued to cheer for Punk while Punk was refusing to perform for them. He pointed out that that was what true WWE Champions had been doing “day in and day out” throughout the history of WWE.
This public interruption came on the heels of the monumental events of Sunday, July 17 at Money in the Bank pay-per-view. There, The Second City Saint stunned the WWE Universe by defeating John Cena, exiting through the crowd and leaving the company without its most coveted title.
Late Friday night, WWE.com was granted permission by WWE executives to show footage of Punk's interruption, caught by WWE cameras during the Comic-Con Q & A.
Punk :bow:
