The WWE Thread

I think McMahon has issues with JR because JR challenges Vince in some ways, and criticizes him for some of his choices. He doesn't always toe the company line, and calls things as he sees it in cases where that isn't the politically correct thing to do. He still gives McMahon loads of credit for all the good things he has done in the past and continues to do for the business, but will call him out via his blog or sometimes even on air when he thinks something is a bad idea. McMahon knows JR is good business, so he keeps him around, and I'm sure he has some appreciation for all JR has done for the WWE, but Vince's ego probably trumps all that in some instances.

Also Cole reminds Vince of himself when he did commentary. So he's everywhere.

Did anyone notice how uncomfortable Trish looked when X-Pac was trying to mac on her? Just seemed a bit awkward.

Yeah, I think Trish was creeped out by him for real.

X-Pac does look a little creepy now though, little bit like his face has melted held up only by his bandanna.

Trish needs to return, if she, Natalia and Beth were allowed to let loose and have a decent match that they are capable of, i might not use Diva 'matches' as toilet breaks.

Yeah, that didn't look fake at all.

Well I saw the 3 hour show and it looks like that extra hour consisted of a bunch of recaps from last week. I fast forwarded through all that crap.

I also heard that manager got in major trouble for that Kobe Bryant joke.

Nice to see Ryback is actually connecting with the fans now, making a more cemented presence.

Sooner he can branch off from being a "Bill Goldberg clone" then better....

It's kind of funny because Bill Goldberg was actually considered a SCSA clone for a while to, and then he broke away from that and made a huge name for himself. Hopefully Ryback can do the same.

Ny Nephew is a HUGE WWE fan, i stopped watching around 2003 or so.

Anyway he's hopefully going to be meeting The Miz. He's ecstatic about it

Who was that really? Randall Poffo died back in May of last year.

Didn't see it but the Twitter-verse is buzzing about Jerry"The King" Lawler passing out at ringside and in need of medical attention in Canada.
I'm guessing it's not a dumb story line because cbs sports and cnn were reporting it on their site as well.

 

[Phil Sierra]

I heard he collapsed and needed CPR. Some are saying he had a heart attack.

You sure it's not just a continuation of the head injury storyline from last week? They just did this type of "realistic" story having Brock actually making Dana think he wanted to return to UFC to sell his "quitting WWE" storyline months back.

I was watching Raw right after it happened, and it seems legit. Michael Cole was really emotional and was saying that this was not part of the night's entertainment. I wouldn't have put it past a Vince Russo to try and do something like this as a swerve, but this would be the lowest I've ever seen Vince go if true. I don't think he ****s around with this stuff after what happened with Owen.

 

[thenammagazine]

Guess only time will tell. Bummer for King if it's true (hope it isn't as he's one of the staples). First JR and now King, RAW commentary is gonna suck with Cole and Miz.

At 6:55 of this video is when Jerry starts breathing heavy and slumping in his chair.
