Professional Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH, etc)

[Lean]

By the way Backlash is being set up, I think that Triple H will go back to Raw, and Cena back to SmackDown.

[Andrew]

Or the titles could change hands again, giving everyone a chance to boost their championship stats. It'll be interesting to see if Edge goes to RAW with Vickie or if a split is iminent. Not that the brand split means much these days, it's not going anywhere of course but the exclusive nature of the concept has been scaled back quite a bit. That's not such a bad idea in the grand scheme of things.

[Lean]

I still can't get over that 'Taker-HBK match. Hell I even find the other WM matches boring. During the title matches, the crowd is silent. That is definitely the match of the year.

And that's the first time I saw Undertaker fully deliver the Last Ride in many years. Amazing match. The unpredictability of it is unforgettable. The match didn't have "extremities" in it: no ladders, chairs, blood or whatever, but it is truly an amazing match.

When HBK kicked out of the Tombstone, the crowd went nuts.

yess the Animal is back. Him and jeff hardy are my 2 favorite wrestlers

Just to refresh ourselves with that amazing 'Taker-HBK match.

And does 'Taker's attire here the same as that of Wrestlemania XXIV?

[Andrew]

Yeah, he wore a very similar outfit (if not the same one) during his entrance at last year's Wrestlemania.

[buzzy]

What's so bad about that?

I don't know. I liked him in the past, but he's become more boring and generic to me recently.
Plus the fact that he might get the title before Orton kinda sucks. Not that it's sure, but just look how many title shots he's got last year.

At WWE.com they are uploading a new Jack Swagger photo every day, the funny thing with that is, that they are writing corny facts about Swagger underneath it.
Some examples:

Jack Swagger once saved a woman from a bear.
Jack Swagger is natural blonde.
Jack Swagger has never lost at pick-up basketball.
Jack Swagger has never been turned down by a woman.
Jack Swagger has thousands of jealous friends.
or my personal faourite: Jack Swagger can grow facial hair at an alarming speed.

[Andrew]

Good point, though I reckon Orton will get another run sooner rather than later. Few heels are close to being as over as he is right now.

Those are things why I still enjoy Edge.

[Lean]

Nice clip, I totally missed that feud, the only thing I remember is Edge losing that title on that year's SummerSlam.

[Christian.]

Triple H was drafted back to Raw. I think having The Game in the blue brand is not as exciting as he is in the red brand. It's kinda boring when I watch him on SmackDown.

He's a great heel but I'm kind of bored of him. His inflated title reign stats are just as bad as Cena's, but I suppose we just have to accept that's how they're doing things these days.

[Lean]

Alright, Draft's up:

Triple H to Raw
CM Punk to SmackDown
Chris Jericho to SmackDown
Kane to SmackDown
Rey Mysterio to SmackDown
Big Show to Raw
Matt Hardy to Raw
The Miz to Raw
Vladimir Kozlov to ECW
Maryse to Raw
Melina to SmackDown
EDIT (thanks for the heads-up) MVP to Raw

I may have missed a few bunch of guys, I'm expecting Cena to go back to SmackDown in the supplemental draft.

[Christian.]

Most probably Cena will go back to Smack Down. I will be looking forward with Y2J's storyline on Smack Down. It would be great if HBK will be drafted to SD..
Btw Lean, you forgot MVP, he was drafted to Raw.

[Lean]

I doubt that HBK will be transferred to SmackDown. Christian might, he needs to get out of ECW.

[Christian.]

Yeah, Christian is no extremist. If he will be transfered to the blue brand, it will be an Edge &Christian reunion (or rivalry?)..

[buzzy]

Add to that MVP to Raw.
So the Women titles and the IC & US titles switch brands. Can't quite imagine Beth Phoenix battleing for the Diva's Championship ..

I wonder what will happen with John Cena and/or his belt. Either he still gets drafted or he'll lose it to Edge ..

[Christian.]

Beth Phoenix should be competing for the US Title.

It is much better if the champ is a heel. But I don't like Edge to be the champ again. Hope that Smack Down will come up of a better storyline until Judgment Day.

And for Raw, what's next for HBK after his match against the Undertaker?

[Lean]

I totally missed SmackDown last week, who was with JR on the commentary?

[Christian.]

I checked some sites, his partner was Todd Grisham.

[Andrew]

Perhaps CM Punk will cash in his MITB shot, bringing the WHC over to Smackdown.

[buzzy]

That's what I thought, after the LMS match he could cash it in on the winner. BUT I highly doubt it. Firstly this would be too similiar to the last time he cashed it in and the whole talk about his fluke World Title run with Edge or Cena starts all over again. This is why, secondly, I think he will announce the match beforehand this time (like RVD). Would be fitting, since Judgment Day is set in Chicago.

anybody watching wwe superstars tommorow at 8/7c WGN america?

I'm a little disappointed they didn't move JR back to RAW to team up with King again.
