Now that he's actually cutting promos and is back in action in the ring, it should be better. A Wrestlemania match with Punk should be great.


I think that segment with Jericho and Punk was awesome, with Punk mocking Y2J by not saying anything. If this feud goes like this, and the crowd giving pops for both guys -- I bet their match at Wrestlemania is a sure show-stealer.

EDIT: I hate Barrett's new theme. It doesn't fit him.

It seems like it might be tough to get crowds fully against Jericho but the more promos he cuts, the better his chances of getting fully fledged heel reactions. He's that good in the heel role and Punk is that much over as a face. Should be a great match.

Judging from the way WWE handles on who or what is the main event on RAW right now. I won't be surprised if they drop it quickly or turn it in a different direction just like what they did with Cena/Punk last year. Maybe I'm just being pessimistic for a couple of weeks now that it's even affecting the way I view WWE right now :lol:.

So where does Sheamus in fall in all of this? Will he feud with Daniel Bryan then or whoever is the champion in the WHC elimination chamber?

Re: Professional Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH, etc)

That's likely. Though I have a feeling that Orton would be WHC after the PPV.

TNA Impact has been quite good the past two weeks, just throwing that out there.

They need to either turn Cole or align him with Bryan. The current setup isn't working.

Re: Professional Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH, etc)

Cole needs to spend some time off television, though that's not going to happen anytime soon.

yeah imagine if miz turned babyface, he'd really be confused at that point

...Santino? Have they gone completely mental?

Re: Professional Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH, etc)

Sun Feb 19, 2012 2:06 pm

I think they'd put someone to get rid of him just before he gets in the Chamber. I just feel bad about the Smackdown Chamber match.

Re: Professional Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH, etc)

Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:53 pm

Santino and Khali on the Smackdown Elimination Match :lol:

I hope Bryan retains

Re: Professional Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH, etc)

Mon Feb 20, 2012 9:05 am

I wouldn't be surprised if he's somehow replaced. If not, it's a bizarre decision. Not everyone in the match needs to be someone who has a realistic chance of going over, but there are certainly other people you could put in there ahead of Santino.

Nobody watched Elimination Chamber today? :lol:

Re: Professional Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH, etc)

Tue Feb 21, 2012 1:42 am

I did, Smackdown one was pretty good, and the Divas match wasn't terrible either. I didn't like the fake KO in the Raw match, and it just isn't an ambulance match without hardcore elements.

Re: Professional Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH, etc)

Tue Feb 21, 2012 2:33 am

I have only seen the Smackdown one so far. The pop that Santino get is ridiculous. Sheamus and Bryan at Mania it seems

Re: Professional Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH, etc)

Tue Feb 21, 2012 11:48 am

yeah the fake KO was pretty lame... it's a dumb way to create "controversy" and the 2 guys are so good they don't need gimmicks like that to have a great feud/cut good promos. i gotta say the last couple PPVs havent been that good, with their only saving grace being less/no talking and more wrestling

Re: Professional Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH, etc)

Tue Feb 21, 2012 11:31 pm

At least they're moving ahead with Jericho/Punk. The Wrestlemania card isn't looking too bad: Rock/Cena, Taker/HHH in Hell in a Cell, Bryan/Sheamus, Punk/Jericho...that's a respectable, multi-main event card.

You forgot Shaq/Big Show :lol:

Re: Professional Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH, etc)

Wed Feb 22, 2012 1:38 am

I have a feeling Bryan/Sheamus will be the opening match just like they did with the WHC last year.

Ah yes. Not a five star, match of the year candidate but as far as celebrity tie-ins go, it might be fun.

Re: Professional Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH, etc)

That Triple H - Undertaker segment is nice, sans the audience continually saying "What?" and "You Suck!" throughout the promo. Also, with The Memory Remains playing in the end as 'Taker leaves, makes me think that the biker Undertaker will be back.

And Eve the one turned heel instead of Cena is just lame. :lame:

Re: Professional Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH, etc)

I don't see them doing another gimmick change for him this late in his career. It's just the theme of the feud, like "Ain't No Grave" last year.

One or two matches on the card and it will be all set

Apparently Shaq's not going to be involved with Wrestlemania, so scrap the rumoured match with Big Show.
