My thoughts go out to Michael Paris aka Zema Iron and his family, for those of you who don't know he has been diagnosed with colon cancer.

He had surgery yesterday to remove his appendices and luckily the doctors noticed the 5cm tumour in his colon at the same time, not sure if it's been removed yet as it's a fresh story.

For me Zema Iron is one of the standout young performers in the company, I always love watching him wrestle, great gimmick great look and a world class ring worker.

Michael doesn't have medical insurance so Dixie Carter paid for a lot of his medical bills out of her own pocket, apparently his insurance expired and he forgot to renew it.

You can help Michael pay his medical bills by donating money at https://www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/6hd2/zematna

As its America (no NHS) Michael's bills could run up into hundreds of thousands of pounds so every penny counts, please give what you can.

Come on WWE TNA it doesn't matter this dude needs our support.

So I'm hearing that pretty soon after Extreme Rules Christian is returning to the ring. Where do you think he'll fit in? I think a feud with Wade Barrett going for the IC Title would be good or do you think he'll slip into the WHC picture?

Danmation

He could slip into the world title picture but in TNA can't see him getting a push in WWE right now

18 May 2013 11:27:37
Given up reading Bleacher Report. Their articles are surface level "insight" at best and they constantly contradict themselves. Waste of time.

Think the commentators on WWE have been much more lighthearted off-the-cuff and funny the last few week! JBL keeps referencing British football to which is brilliant. Only a small thing but I think they've been much better recently. (Except Jerry Lawler he is awful)

didn't watch smackdown last night, anything interestng happen?

I may be missing something here but where is Booker T these days?

Time off, getting elbow surgery, injured in a non wrestling matter.

Not one to say I told you so however 'I told you so' :-). A few weeks ago I was talking about would they ever have a crossover between Companies at PPV events and it seems that Dixie Carter would be well up for a cross over between WWE and TNA. It would certainly make both RAW and iMPACT interesting to watch. See the article below at Digital Spy.

www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/a482527/tna-boss-dixie-carter-im-open-to-wwe-crossover-event.html

Danmation

She's be up for it because it would be good publicity for TNA, it still doesn't mean that anything will come of it. If a senior bod from WWE echoed her thoughts then there might be a small chance of it happening, but that is not going to happen. Ironically TNA is going in simialr directions as WCW were in the early to mid 90's which will probably see WWE go a bit more towards the Attitude Era, although not anywhere near the 18 rated PPV they used to have.

L. O. D

I know it won't happen beause I know Vince wouldn't allow it, I wonder though if relations between the two are better now since the court case was finished.

Danmation

17 May 2013 07:43:28
just wondering if anyone is looking forward to extreme rules and if anyone will be shelling out best part of £20 pound again for yet another almost predictable ppv?

gooner mark

Not a chance, Sky are at it

You can stream it for free on universo wrestling I watch all WWE TNA shows and PPV's for free?

also try sites like sport lemon and haha sport, there good for live football on a saturday at 15:00 ;-)

Which football american or the original?

Premiership some championship there great sites with tones of extra links etc

First post haven't watched wwe for a long time until recently got to say its dissapponting now. John cenas move is now called 'aa' what happened to the good old f-u? Glad I was young when it was good and unpredictable

Fully agree so glad to witness the attitude era at 11-15 and the golden era before that used to love jake the snake roberts, brett hart and the big bossman it really is crap these days or like I've said on here before it was always predictable and we were just young?

I've just watched CM punks DVD after I seen someone one here who reconmended it, so I did and it changed my opinion on him and was a good watch so cheers to whoever that was, so from that I went on to watch dave Batista one that's ok too, and I'm nearly watched stone colds DVD ohh boy do I miss that time in wwe.

Make sure you watch edge and chris jericho's documentaries, they are by far the best to watch

16 May 2013 20:07:07
No one else think that Brock vs HHH 3 is going to be unleashing a new "attitude era" on us? The little promo they done in the cage on raw really made me think that it's really not far off. Opinions? {Ed008's Note - Well Extreme Rules has been rated TV14 so...

I hope so but I think it's more likely that it's TV14 because it's an extreme PPV.

Hi guys this is the odds for Sunday via sky bet only 4 match odds currently on

Lesnar to win 1/7
HHH to win 4/1

Orton to win 1/4

Show to win 11/4

Sheamus to win 1/7

Henry to win 4/1

Cena to win 1/8

Ryback to win 9/2

Call

Ok so Orton WILL win then lol

Even though it's predictable do any of you guys think I should have a bet and if so on who?

50 bangers on a Lesnar, Orton, Sheamus and Cena acca almost doubles your money. Not a bad bet. Although I fancy a draw between Cena and Ryback for some reason.

J1985

No way do they bet on wwe lol it's scripted, if I was McMahon I'd be betting millions on this then changing the outcomes lol

For those of you who think Cena always wins here is his Win/Loss record in the WWE.

Overall - Win 67%, Draw 7. 5%, Lose 25. 5%

PPV - Win 60%, Draw 3%, Lose 37%

Chess

So, he is still booed out the building, only has 5 moves and is beyond stale. Win's is still very high and most of the loses is part of teams, tag teams etc.

Thought you didn't watch wwe, seem to have an interest in Cena yet he is the pg king.

Im not sure if this was to prove he does or doesn't win all the time but the thing I think people have an issue with is that he might not win all the matches but he certainly wins the fueds! And how many PPvs did he main event even though punk was champ! and now he is champ he will still main event them!

Pazza

Well said Pazza.

I don't watch WWE. Just Mania, Rumble and Extreme rules. I personally am not a fan of Cena or his wrestling ability but I am just shedding some facts on the situation where people say he always wins. As you can see that statement is false.
I make my own opinions on wrestling products and I don't just repeat what I read on the internet, like it seems many people here do. 5 moves, always wins, never puts people over. Blah Blah Blah.

You guys need to realise that Cena, although not the greatest wrestler IS WWE's cash cow. Yes not all fans like him but Cena gets the biggest reaction, whether it is boo's or cheers it is a reaction. This is different to 80% of the WWE wrestlers as most people simply are unable to get a reaction as they either suck in the ring or on the mic, or both.
Ryback uses a catch phrase to get a reaction but does anyone really like him or enjoy his matches. I doubt it as the guys straight up sucks in the ring and on the mic.
WWE does not care about you or your entertainment, they want cash and Cena is money. Cena sells PPV's, cena sells shirts, Cena gets main stream attantion. Cena is (modern) WWE.
As to why does Cena main event PPV's. The reason is he is the biggest draw and brings the most entertainment. Punk, although a much more talented wrestler than Cena does not sell PPV's. Go look at the numbers when he did main event PPV's. WWE almost took the title off him earlier because of this.
I am sorry that you all hate Cena, but if you really have a problem STOP watching the crappy show otherwise nothing will change. Booing is a reaction, silence might make WWE change Cena, but we know this will not happen.

Yeah WWE sucks just a money machine there days watch TNA the story building is not great but the matches are amazing.

Amazing matches more botches and Hogan coming back says it all.

16 May 2013 09:56:19
Good article on Bleacher Report about Cena. Backs up what people have been saying on here, character is stale and to cut out the unfunny promos and jokes. Take every opponent seriously and make fueds realistic.

15 May 2013 22:48:04
I really like Kane and think Daniel Bryan. is a fantastic wrestler. However, I would love Kane to have another run as a monster who destroy everything in his path. But, as I like both of them I don't want Team Hell No to split up, ergo I think it would be good if Kane kept up this build up to his old self and maybe destroyed like 3mb out of anger and then destroy the whole tag division single handedly. Then Daniel Bryan could stay on his side by becoming like the brains behind the monster and by being Kanes powerdul sidekick so to speak. Thoughts?

Spoc {Ed007's Note - I was talking about Kane the other day and said very near the same thing Spoc, Kane maybe having 'an episode' over something and wiping out The Shield, maybe come under some sort of 'spell' from Bryan. Not a stupid black magic spell but Bryan somehow gains a hold over Kane (blackmail???), or manipulates him into doing exactly what he wants him to do.....Kane isn't the brightest and Bryan can be a sneaky wee f***er when he needs to be...}

Thats closer to what I thought ed, struggled to put it into words haha! Sort of like Bearer but only a wrestler too

Spoc {Ed007's Note - Yeah mate, exactly. A Kane monster heel turn would be quality.}

I like that idea, could use it to push Bryan back to the top WHC scene and use kane as his enforcer

Kane has been made to look strong the last few weeks but I'd much rather Team Hell No lose to the Shield and split up. Then have Kane v Bryan but have Bryan go over Kane. Kane is getting on now and it would be unrealistic and pretty stupid if he destroyed The Shield (the best thing about WWE right now!) on his own after everyone else has failed (including Kane) and even superstar teams have failed.

Kane has been awesome but his days in the main event picture are done IMO. People always moan about WWE not building up new stars but then those same people say they want Kane to destroy The Shield?! That's crazy IMO.

Another problem would be, by having Bryan control Kane he would be a heel, whist Bryan can do face and heel equally well he's too over with the crowd to be a heel at present IMO.

KRO
Monkeyman

Monkeyman, we said go over 3mb and the tag team division, eg prime time players, primo and epico etc

Or how about db turns into badass daniel bryan while kane becomes a monster heel. both still have an alliance but mostly compete in singles matches.
Ps wasnt kane called the big red monster instead of the big red machine?

15 May 2013 17:04:38
With Paul Bearer going to be in the HOF for 2014 there has been rumors that taker will go in it with him and I personally think this great also I think if taker gets put into the HOF next year it will be his last wm
So how about they put in Kane into next years HOF aswell so both can pay tribute to Bearer also it will signal the end of two of the greatest legends in wwe and the 3 all together I and I guess everyone else on this site have the upmost respect for.

Call

Why do The Undertaker and Kane have to end?

14 May 2013 23:30:34
Well WWE have done it again makeing shield look weak by loseing to super cena. i'm so sick of it year after year cena is rammed down our throats and ruins every half decent storyline. I've watched wwe all my life and both tna and wwe for several years. I am now only watching tna. Until wwe rids pg and cena there is no place for real wrestling fans anymore all they care about is cena selling shirts.

DX86

No u won't once a wwe fan always a wwe fan and if you was going to stop watching you would of stopped ages ago
Jc rules

I was once a WWF fan. Now I couldn't give monkeys about the WWE. 30 minutes of wrestling in a 3 hour show and half of that is squash matches, I won't waste my time. WWE will never leave PG but that is not an excuse to put out such a terrible product.

Chess

I agree with you chess wwf was much better than wwe today

I'd love to know how the Shield were made to look weak by Cena? They got DQ'd and destroyed him after the match, Shield came out of the segment looking a lot stronger than Cena did. Fair enough moan about Super Cena and never losing and whatever, but saying he's ruined the Shield storyline is just ridiculous, they've gone over him in match/segment they've been in.

Agree with the guy above that didn't make The Shield look weak at all. If anything it make them look more Badass (they didn't care about being DQ'd, they just wanted to destroy Cena)

IMO The Shield will all have titles after Extreme Rules and they will keep being pushed.

Believe In The Shield!

First time poster here but let me get this straight
You guys all hate Cena because of this 'Super Cena' thing now don't get me wrong I think it's pretty damn annoying to see him winning every feud he's in but I don't think he a heel turn is the solution.
If you ask me Cena should go back to what he was like in '05/'06 without saying everything in rap. I think his "never back down and never quit" slogan has been taken way too far and for this reason he's developed this 'Super Cena' gimmick which must be stopped {Ed008's Note - He became Super Cena when the PG era started before that he was decent and not winning every match.. Welcome leave a name if you want to

I don't hate him and he certainly does a lot for the wwe and the business. But the character is stale and needs changed. don't like that he wins every fued and his promos of late have been stuff like awful jokes are cringeworthy. They will never do it but we need a break from him an injury keeping him on the sidelines would be a blessing the now.

Bill

Really Cena apart from wm29, royal rumble, no way out and MITB he has lost in every feud so don't really know why you put bill that you're sick of him winning every feud lately
Because he hasn't

Call

Nexus, Kane, Brock Lesnar, Big Show, John Laurenitis, Dolph Ziggler, A short Del Rio thing, made to look strong with the Shield, The Rock need I go on Call. don't hate him but give us a break. Think you will find a lot people agree but if your happy with Super Cena. Another thing CM Punk was champ then how come nearly every PPV last year Cena was the main event. Just too much.

Bill

I thought Cena didn't hold the title for like 2 years. How was he winning every fued if this is the case?

Chess

Replying back to Bill Summerslam Lesnar vs HHH Hell in a cell Ryback vs Punk Royal rumble Rock vs Punk Elimination Chamber Rock vs punk Tlc Ryback, Team hell No vs The shield I know you said nearly Bill but that's almost a half of the ppvs last year that cena didn't appear in the main event. If you want to say if a superstar is getting to much ring time its Ryback because simply Ryback doesn't rule also Bill look where Cenas feud has taken Ziggler, Kane, Del rio and even the rock because now the rocks name is now back on the list on a lot of flim directors list as of his stint back in WWE mainly because of his feud with Cena

Call

You really think Vena made Ziggler, Kane etc, Kane been in it since Cena was unheard off and Ziggler well that nonsense with Cena held him back that was just to make Cena look good.

Call, you are entitled to your opinion but I am just tired of Cena and I don't think am the only one. I respect him, think his charity work is good, but I feel every Raw revolves around him, just needs a break there is other stars. His promos etc have been pretty bad for awhile the now the jokes are not funny. But I know full well he is a money machine for the wwe, my wee boy thinks he is brilliant and that's what he is aimed at, but when he is supposed to be the man he should act and take other stars serious and that's what he fails to do. Read the reviews on pro wrestling. net and that's the biggest complaint about him. I agree with the Ryback nonsense the now as well, he was defeated by Henry fair and square yet he gets a title shot.

Bill

Never really competed for the title that's why. Lot love for Cena on hear, wait to hear it on Sunday when so called babyface comes out to the usual chorus of boo's, says it all.

14 May 2013 18:40:07
WWE really annoyed me with the shield match last night made them look week at the end of the match IMO

TsG

I was worried as soon as the dazzler got pinned! Just makes you hate cena more! Super cena strikes again!

Pazza

Cena ruins every story, group or singles star because its always to be super cena

The Shield still have PPV wins over the likes of Cena, Ryback, Orton and Sheamus. A defeat on Raw won't damage them too much IMO.

There first defeat had to be at the hands of someone like Cena - since debuting they have been booked really strong and have competed against the top superstars in WWE so a defeat to a main guy like Cena was inevitable.

J1985

J1985 I agree that they had to lose sometime but could it not have been in a normal 6 man tag mathc insteadof an elimination tag match where it ended up being cena v all 3 of the shield! I would have prefered it to have been kane flippng out and becoming a monster for 5 mins destroying a couple of the shield then they eventually over run him and 'triple powerbomb' him but nnnooooo it had to be SUPACENA!

Pazza

Havent the shield technically lost in every match they have done one the uk tour by Dq

Pazza I ain't a Cena fan by any stretch and believe me mate I would much prefer The Shield didn't lose to him in typical Supercena fashion but i'm just glad that WWE continue to have these 3 guys mix it with main eventers and like I said before - a defeat on Raw ain't too damaging to them - if it was a ppv loss I would be mega pi55ed.

j1985

It didn't make them look weak at all. They got DQ'd as they didn't care about the match and then destroyed Cena again. It made them look more unhinged and more badass IMO. People are only moaning as it's Cena IMO.

KRO
Monkeyman

J1985 I agree with that!

Monkeyman you are right that people are only moaning because it is cena because it is always cena! why not kane? Ryback? Henry? anyone but same old cena!

Does WWE have an app. You wouldn't know it never gets mentioned

Yes it does its just called wwe its on the appstore

Dude he is just joking.

Never expected an answer, was saying it because on Raw the commentators were more interested in the app than what was in the ring, getting worse. {Ed008's Note - Talk about shoving a product down your throats!

I know Ed, the only thing missing was the insulting help on how to download it again.

Bill

I'm still trying to get over having to go to the App Store to access it, I would of thought I could wish it into my phone.

But in all seriousness, it's terrible how they were going on about the app, it's worse than these dance competitions and rubbish gimmicks they have now.

JAnder.

"the commentators were more interested in the app than what was in the ring"

Thats understandable as the in ring "entertainment" ain't very good.

WWE Raw 6/27/11 CM Punk Shoot Promo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9H4rn8AWlw
{Ed008's Note - One of the greatest promos of all time!

Jim

Still scripted though {Ed008's Note - Go watch Punk 's documentary and make your mind up they cut him off when he was going too far..

Cheers guys

Aron

Scripted is open to debate according to Colt Cabana on his podcast "The Art Of Wrestling" what Punker said in the promo is what Punk had been telling his friends in private for months

Jim

I saw Colt on a youtube clip saying that Punk called him and told him to watch RAW because he had an open mic.

I don't believe it was scripted.

Like you say ed one of the best promos EVER!

J1985

It was scripted but only in the way that he was allowed to do it but the actually promo was his own words!

Pazza

It doesn't matter if it was scripted or not it's still one of the best Promo's ever and hands down the best Promo of the PG era.

you can talk about ryback cena langston goldberg henry bigshoe and many others but after seeing raw tonight and that release german suplex by lesnar he has got to be the most genuinely scary strong person in wwe
justpij

For me Goldberg was an absolute beast. His jackhammer on The Giant in WcW was as impressive a show of brute strength as i've ever seen.

j1985

The thing about lesnar is that apart from being an absolute beast he is an extremely good technical wrestler. I used to love the matches him and kurt angle uesd to have back in the day lol I would have loved to have seen a proper goldberg v lesnar match because the one at wrestlemania don't really count it was a bit of a shambles really.

Something has been bothering me for years and I was wondering if anyone has any information on why wwe/f used the same theme song for The Patriot, Sgt Slaughter when he returned during the attitude era in '97 and ofcourse Kurt Angle. I can't recall any other superstar theme that was used for multiple wrestlers.

Why is everyone so keen to split up The Shield? Yes, Ambrose is going to be a big star as is Rollins and Reigns. And the United States title would be great for him. But why split up The Shield or even have them wrestle in singles matches often? This is the best thing to hit the WWE since CM Punk did his shoot. And their chemistry and attack dog mentality AND talent as a trio is making tag wrestling in the WWE as exciting as it should be. They haven't even been on the roster for a year, don't fix it if it isn't broken, that's what I have to say.

Steve EFC {Ed008's Note - Totally agree with you Steve great post!

I completely agree mate. The Shield are the best thing about WWE at present IMO. I definitely don't want them to split up, but I do want them to either get the tag titles and defend them under the Freebird rule, or I'd like Reigns and Rollins to win the tag titles and Ambrose to get the US Title. The Shield deserve their shot at some gold IMO.

KRO
Monkeyman

I'd give them the tag titles under the free bird rule, but I wouldn't give Ambrose the US title just yet. They are best as a team, even though they are great individuals, so I'd milk the team thing for as long as possible.

Steve EFC

I'd give them the tag titles

I think reigns will go on to become the biggest star he got the look wwe love
