Why in God's name would they make Rey the WHC. It just makes no sense at all. He does put on decent matches but his character is just so uninteresting. Swagger should have retained or they should have given it to CM Punk again. Punk is easily by far the most entertaining guy they have on their roster. I'm willing to bet next he goes after the WHC and Rey makes him look like shit again.
Sadly, no one really cares because it's Smackdown. Kids love Rey, kids watch Smackdown, kids get their parents to buy those stupid masks to wear while wathing Smackdown. I wish there was reason to watch Smackdown, but besides Punk and Christian there isn't any reason to. I like to watch Rey and Undertaker, but how much can you really see from them?
Found another one, although it doesn't look like it has much cult classic potential: [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p3gJj0AsMo[/YOUTUBE] edit: I forgot the review: In the case of Wrong Side of Town, a movie directed by a former wrestler and that’s painfully apparent from the first scene, you could have more fun sitting in a waiting room before you get a vasectomy. It’s paced like a televised golf game, poorly shot and acted, and frontloaded with every conceivable verbal and visual cliché and racial stereotype in the B-action movie playbook. You would think a movie featuring a cast of wrestlers, rappers, and porn stars all trying [and failing] to act would be better. Former Navy SEAL Bobby Kalinowsky (Pro wrestler Rob Van Dam) has given up his life of silently slitting throats in the name of democracy to enjoy a comfortable and happy life as a landscape architect in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with his loving wife Dawn (Lora Grice) and nubile teenage daughter Brianna (Brooke Frost). One evening Bobby and Dawn are invited by their new neighbors Clay (Edrick Browne) and Elise Freeman (Ava Santana) to dinner at a high-end nightclub operated by local gangster Seth Bordas (Jerry Katz), but owned by his coked-up screwball brother Ethan (Ross Britz). While Dawn is using the ladies’ room Ethan notices her and invites her back to his office to do some cocaine. Despite understandably refusing, Dawn is attacked by Ethan and dragged into the office to be sexually assaulted. Bobby hears her screams and quickly comes to her aid and in the process gets into a fight with the crazed Ethan. During the fight Ethan pulls a knife and Bobby throws him onto a couch, causing the young junkie to fall on his own knife and die. Angered by his brother’s death Bordas places a $100,000 bounty on Bobby’s head and orders his goons to get the word out to every thug and gangbanger in the city. After leaving the police station the Kalinowskys and Freemans are on their way home when the attacks begin, which they manage to survive for a while thanks to Bobby’s military training. Soon discovering what Bordas is prepared to do in the name of avenging his brother’s death, Bobby approaches Big Ronnie (Pro wrestler David Bautista, a.k.a. Batista), an old friend from the SEALs who’s now running a strip joint in town, for help but finds that because of some bad blood between them Big Ronnie is a little reluctant to help out. On top of that, Bordas’ gang invades Bobby’s home and kidnaps his daughter. In order to rescue Brianna and defeat the vile Seth Bordas and an endless array of armed criminals out for an easy payday, Bobby must take the law into his own hands in standard action movie fashion: get out the guns, strap on the body armor, and charge the villains on his trusty motorcycle. Wrong Side of Town isn’t just boring, it’s shockingly ordinary....The clichés are endless and the plot holes would require a Nobel Prize-winning physicist to explain. Everywhere Bobby and his friends and wife go they seem to come across random groups of money hungry thugs. Either word of the bounty was spread telepathically or Bordas has these guys on an e-mail list. Every time one of these bands of knuckleheads encounters Bobby, they don’t rush him at once but instead take him one at a time in the time-honored tradition of cheesy action flicks giving our intrepid hero the opportunity to defeat these idiots easily....Wrong Side of Town is a failure on every conceivable level, from its criminally misleading cover to the cheaply produced opening credits to its droning hard rock and rap soundtrack featuring a bunch of no name acts screaming and busting idiotic rhymes over nearly every scene, making the movie even more unbearable than it already was.... Rob Van Dam is the star of the show despite being second-billed behind the better-known David Bautista...Van Dam has nothing much else going for him. He can’t act, has zero screen presence or charisma, and looks uncomfortable during the repetitive action scenes. If the hero of the movie can’t look like he’s having some fun then there’s little hope for the rest of the movie. Bautista fares better as the requisite old friend Big Ronnie. He gets to have a little fun in his scenes, makes a few choice wisecracks at the expense of his opponents, and definitely has a better screen presence than Van Dam. There’s little wonder he got top billing despite being in less than a third of the movie....Third- and fourth-billed rappers Ja Rule and Omarion clock a single scene each and were no doubt hired for what little name value they could bring to the movie. They’re not even given actual characters to play, just more disposable thugs for Van Dam to beat up. Porn star Stormy Daniels shows up to show us two of her precious gifts (hint-one of them isn’t acting) before realizing she’s just eye candy and promptly vanishes from the movie.
A few months ago, I noticed the "Sara" tattoo on his neck had been removed. That had to hurt, only one reason to go through that much pain.
Well this sucks. Apparently the Straight Edge Savior is out for 6 - 8 weeks due to arm surgery. http://www.examiner.com/x-43640-Pro...29-WWE-Main-Eventer-out-of-action-with-injury Smackdown is really starting to lack any decent main eventers. Hopefully they keep him on screen in some form or another. I think this could really hurt the straight edge stable if they keep him off TV.
Yeah, that sucks. But at least he has his followers, and they could add some more people to the group. I'll bet he is still on tv every week.
I can't remember the last time Punk missed any time due to injury or took any time off. I think he could very well be a little burned out after working so long without a break This should give him some time to rest up and come back nice a strong. Hopefully he'll be ready to kick Rey's ass all over the place when he heals up.
That sucks for Smackdown. Punk is one of the only good heels in the company and if he were on Raw he'd be one of my favorite superstars but I don't watch Smackdown so whatever really. I wonder who wins MITB now...
Every once in a while I'll stumble upon TNA, and I'll be reminded of how mind numbingly awful it is. It's like if WCW had a smaller budget with all of their wrestlers even FURTHER past their prime. Terrible.
I actually watched TNA for the first time in months tonight. It wasn't half bad. I loved seeing RVD, Angle, and Jeff Hardy. I thought he was in jail? or was going to jail.. The storylines are overexaggerated but still atleast there are good matches and actual tag teams unlike wwe.
Jeff Hardy used his WWE money to get incredible lawyers who got most of his charges dropped, so that he could toil away in obscurity for TNA. Most every star in TNA(save AJ Styles & Jeff Jarrett) is a lazy fuck. Hardy, Sting, Hogan, Foley, Nash, Angle, RVD, etc... All of them hated working more than once a week so they opted to goto some bumblefuck shit company instead of the pros.
RVD quit WWE because his wife had cancer. He chose not to sign his extension that was offered. He also smokes pot habitually and wouldn't be able to last long in WWE due to the Wellness Policy. And I never said they weren't good wrestlers, they're just lazy drug users who would rather get paid less and work less and freely use their drugs. More power to them, that's the life they chose.
I guess you missed the trainwreck that was the Hardy-Abyss match? Made infinitely worse by the ridiculous Mr. Kennedy beat down.
Since when is Meth Hardy a good wrestler? It's like watching a botchfest everytime he wrestles. The only reason he ever got a push was because the kids love a guy with dyed hair and face paint that does stupid things that can get himself and others hurt in the ring. I will agree with you on Angle however. I can see why he would want a much lighter schedule since his neck is completly fucked up and hes in constant pain. It doesn't make him lazy, I just think he would prefer not to be crippled for the rest of his life.
