Would anyone like to see a Rey Mysterio vs Sin Cara match?

 

Also where do you think Lord Tansai (A-Train) will go storyline wise? There were rumors of him feuding with Randy Orton or Cena, but now that we saw what happened to Cena, maybe Randy Orton?

There was also speculation that he might feud for the WWE championship against CM punk.


Sin Cara seems like he's going to be another Ultimo Dragon.  A lot of potential that will never be realized.  I think WWE went out of their way to keep these two seperated.  Personally, I'd LOVE to see the two face off before Rey gets too old.  Hell, it was one of the matches I predicted would be in Wrestlemania.

As for Lord Tansai, I suspect he'll be a monster heel for a while.  He'll destroy a bunch of smaller guys before eventually being used by somebody as their muscle.  My bet is that if he's a heel (which I suspect he will be), he'll face Big Show.  He'll likely destroy Great Khali, too.  If he's a face, he'll face Mark Henry.  I don't know where he'll go after that.  Ezekial Jackson or Rey Mysterio or something.  Not a lot of range for a character like that.

Oh man I LOVED Ultimo Dragon.

Lord Tensai vs CM punch would be horrible.  I mean right now he's just well... a monster heel.  Monster heels are more for your superman my character is tied up in winning types like Cena and Orton.

CM Punks appeal is more in his mike work which... vs a guy who can't talk back would just be awful.  He'd more or less just be making fun of the guy and in some ways he'd come off as the bully.


Yeah they did say originally he was meant for Randy Orton or Cena but than they said he was also supposed to be a lackey for Lauranitus (mispelled?).

Looks like it could be a storyline injury for a Movie Position for "The Marine 3" since they need a replacement for Randy Orton l0l


Rewatching the Raw Replay I don't think it is a storyline injury.  When Jerihco attacks Punk after he pours the first bottle of liquir on him, when he's delivering the kick it looks like Jericho slips on the Jack Daniels and goes farther and harder with the kick then he means too.  It looks pretty unnatural and just the look on his face makes me think that was botched.

I think it's a real injury due to a combined puddle & dress shoes.

Not really a TNA fan myself. I've been spoiled by WWE's production values, and I can't deal with how TNA does their show. I do know they got some really good talent though.



Yeah lockdown is shaping into something big. I'm sure most of you would get excited for a Kurt angle vs Jeff hardy in a steel cage match..

It was pretty much a botch xD!

But I think their gonna go with the getting hit by the bottle injury storyline since there were reports that said that the WWE might put CM punk in the upcoming Marine 3 recordings but not sure, we'll see tommorrow ;o

It just seems weird.  Why a concussion?  i mean, they've been working the whole back injury for weeks.

Concussions, considering what's been happening with football seems like the last kind of made up thing you want to go with.

Then again during the big blowup with it, TNA made that a whole plot arc for eric young....

Lesnar busting Cena in the mouth at the beginning of RAW on Monday. Awesome. He was one of my favorites during his brief run in the early 2000's. I even cheered when Brock beat Rock at Summerslam for the championship that year (but then he went to Smackdown and I didn't get UPN so I never saw him again unless I was watching a PPV). Anyway, as a fan of Lesnar and a hater of Cena......I hope Cena kicks his ass!

I didn't plan on buying a PPV until the next Royal Rumble but it looks like I'm going to have to order the next one, too!



Sadly, the Lesnar/Cena story is the only one that interests me at the moment. Big Show harassing Rhodes is funny, but not interesting. Jericho/Punk has some potential, but really is a bit over the top and meanspirited. if Jericho actually was a more consistent wrestler (came to do more than just harass punk and play an occasional once or twice a month match), then i could get behind the feud more.

We'll see. Lots of potential on the horizon.

Little bummed out there was no Lesnar this week. I knew that he wasn't going to go over seas though. Would love to watch him face Cena at ER, but i'm not tossing down that type of money on a PPV like this.



Pretty good deal on WWE DVDs at Wal-Mart. I grabbed Wrestlemania 26, Over The Limit 2010. Wrestlemania 19, and Here Comes the Pain for $20. I guess Wal-Mart is trying to get rid of them. Good chance to build up a collection if you're that type of fan.

Watched RAW live on Monday which is a rare thing. I'm usually working. Didn't really feel the excitement, though. I was pretty bored with it. Hoping next week is better. I have to work during the PPV so that's a good thing. I don't want to blow another $50-$60 on WWE pay per views so being at work will keep me from being tempted.



I think the thing that gets me the most right now is that two of the best talents are being shoved to the side as antagonists and aren't being put in matches. Jericho and Brock should be out there every night like the other dudes, not virtual presences there to piss off Cena and Punk. I dunno, totally wasted talent. Hell, even Otunga are wrestling more than they are.

Blah.

And Tensai is boring as fuck. He sucked as Prince Albert (though he was funny as hell when partnered with Test), and he sucks now. blech.
