Truly was a dreadful RAW but the ending was superb

Re: The Wrestling Thread : Wed Jun 09, 2010 9:18 am  

Just watched a video of the ending and it was brilliant how they destroyed everything. With that happening live it would have come across as a complete shock, it poses questions, people will watch to see what happens next and it also gets the Internet buzzing. It's also great for the live crowd something like that happening out of the blue.

WWE have done a very good job with NXT not being affraid to put new stars forward. It also helps the pro's as they get more TV time.

As for the next season of NXT I'm interested to see how Kaval (Low Ki) is treated in a WWE environment. They should have kept Joe Hennig as Joe Hennig and play off the famous name, and not change his name to Michael McGuillicutty.

Swagger was, even when he got the world championship. i think he's seriously pi$$ed off someone backstage

WWE has come to terms on the release of NXT first season rookie Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson) as of today June 11, 2010. We wish Daniel Bryan the best in all future endeavors.

Remains to be seen if it's a real release or a work. He did spit in Cena's face and choked out an announcer with his tie so being WWE that could definitely get him fired. He will easily get work around the world again and hopefully TNA if it's a real release.

Dixie Carter has tweeted about a big announcement at Slammiversary that will change TNA forever at every level, it will be interesting to see what that is.

TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
“The Icon” Sting vs. (c) Rob Van Dam

X DIVISION TITLE MATCH
Kendrick vs. (c) Douglas Williams

KNOCKOUTS TITLE MATCH
Roxxi vs. (c) Madison Rayne

MONSTERS BALL MATCH
Desmond Wolfe vs. Abyss w/ Chelsea

- Jeff Hardy & Mr. Anderson vs. Beer Money
- Kurt Angle vs. #10 Contender Kazarian
- AJ Styles vs. Jay Lethal
- "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan vs. Hernandez
- Brother Ray vs. Jesse Neal

I think that's a good card apart from the Brother Ray vs. Jesse Neal, teacher vs student match.

I think that is almost certainly the reason, I thought "Wow that was a bit rough" while watching it. It could be a work, but I doubt it, the only other time WWE has lied on their website for a storyline was when Jeff Hardy was "found unconscious in a hotel stairwell".

Re: The Wrestling Thread : Sat Jun 12, 2010 11:16 am  

so....wwe does a great job in creating a great new stable of heels then sacks one of them for playing up to that character?

let's wait and see because there was also a quote about Danielson as being "the sort of guy you want a dressing room filled with"
