Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

Can we please stop doing stupid **** like this?

Cesaro is pretty close to Caesar, so it's not that big of a deal. It's not like people complained when The Rock was called "The Rock" instead of Dwayne Johnson.

And Hunter Hearst Helmsley! People just call him "Hunter" now.

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

So, I don't know why but this morning was the first time I even thought about this. Despite Jack Swagger being pretty lackluster, Antonio Cesaro seems to be a pretty decent option for the WWE and he is getting a push with EC coming up. Hulk Hogan is coming back reportedly night after elimination chamber... Think the Hulkster is involved with "The Real Americans"? It would have him come full circle from his NWO days, thru TNA and back to his roots of being "The Real American." IDK where that story line would go, but maybe help Cesaro get a little more over than he already is? Just Spitballing.

I like this idea and have thought of something similiar. I really like AC and the Real Americans thing has been entertaining because of Zeb, but I've never uderstood why they stuck AC into that group.

And Cesaro being called Cesaro isn't a gimmick? Everything in wrestling characters is a gimmick.

So this is sort of out of left field, but has there been any mention of the WWE scratch logo being retired with the debut of the WWE Network in favor of the modern WWE Network logo? I feel like it's going to happen.

It's been mentioned once or twice on Wrestlezone... they are waiting until after the network launch to use the new logo from what I've read....

I mean they already have a jet with the logo plastered on it... it's only a matter of time.

Cody
Rhodes
reportedly has some MCL damage in his right knee, possibly from the
steel cage moonsault two weeks ago. Also, Ryback
may have hurt his hand in the tag match on this past Monday's RAW.

..not ryback

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

Regarding Sting not signing a
deal with WWE yet,
it's more because WWE is dragging their feet. We noted before that WWE
officials are in no hurry to get Sting signed for a WrestleMania XXX match but
word is that Sting himself was hoping for a match against The Undertaker
at this year's event.


Since Sting lives in the Dallas area, he is willing to meet up with The
Undertaker and work out the match in private at Undertaker's gym, over and over,
to get it right, which is what Undertaker's opponents have done for the past
several years. That's one of the reasons the matches have gone over so well.
There was some concern that Brock
Lesnar, who is in it because he makes big money for a limited amount of
work and only has a certain number of dates on his contract, may not be willing
to spend several extra days working with Taker to get the entire match worked
out.

<!--INFOLINKS_OFF-->I hate that WWE has to have guys like Lesnar on contract. I mean "Really" dude. If this is infact true and he doesnt wanna work with Taker, **** him!

That's just speculation more than anything.

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

After a week where the CM
Punk
talk has started to die down, people within WWE
are looking ahead to the March 3rd RAW from Chicago. There is a lot of concern
about how that show will play out.


There was less concern this past week because while there were Punk chants at
live events, they didn't pick up or last that long. The feeling is that with
nothing major happening with the Los Angeles crowd at RAW on Monday, it's pretty
much a done situation with the possible exception of Chicago.

Going into the Los Angeles RAW this week, officials feared fans would hijack
the show and ruin the John
Cena
vs. Randy Orton
main event. The idea was to bring Daniel
Bryan
out twice, including right before the main event, have him go over
strong and get the chants out of the way.
There remains mixed feelings within the company regarding Punk's status.
Virtually nobody agrees with him when it comes to walking out 30 minutes before
a live TV shoot. Many have sympathy for some of his concerns but they argue that
Punk was legitimately the #2 guy in the company for a while. On a related note,
it's acknowledged that Punk was very popular but the belief is that he was not
a ticket seller to live events and only on occasion was he a difference maker
in pay-per-view business. At the same time, Punk was the #2 merchandise
seller.

I want to see a crowd Chant CM Punk the entire night no matter whos in the ring<!--INFOLINKS_OFF-->

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

That's just speculation more than anything.

And to be fair this is Brock and I don't even mean that in a negative. WWE should have added into his contract that 'if' he fought Taker at Mania he would do private workouts with him. Iron that out and it is a non factor.

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

Thats why I said if it is infact true. I mean Brock is Brock but I cant see him totally trying to push off the idea.

Yeah, chant for the guy who chose to no longer entertain you so you can **** on the people who are trying to entertain you. Great idea.
