That's awesome. I thought me and buddies were the only ones that did that. Wrestling was a HUGE part of my life growing up. I'm from the northeast, where WWF was king. I used to stay up until midnight to watch the WWF on channel 9 (WWOR I think). I also watched All-American wrestling, Superstars, TNT and all that when it came on. I watched the NWA on TBS (hell, it was Georgia Championship Wrestling when I first saw it). I watched the Von Erichs/Freebirds feuds from WCCW. I watched the AWA and also GWF for a while. I became a maniac ECW fan when they broke out. It was like the WWF and WCW had gotten stale, and someone created the perfect combination of passionate fans/hardcore/great scientific wrestling. It was new and fresh. It sparked WWF when they starting stealing some of there stuff. I think my problem with wrestling today is that there is nothing they can do that I haven't seen. Especially with them understandably scaling back the blood and high risk bumps to lower wrestler injuries. There is just nothing new to look forward to.
I would guess CM Punk like IATA said. I was really hoping his music would hit at the end of that battle royal last night and reveal to everyone that he was a late entry in it or something and win it. Do we really wanna see someone so green like Wade Barrett challenging for the WWE Title already?
That's the word i'm hearing and I hope it's true. CM Punk is (besides Taker obviously) my favorite person on Smackdown. He's an excellent heel and would come across as a great face. I've never watched him a lot because I rarely watch smackdown.
CM Punk is now hurt apparently. http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/article/exclusive-major-update-on-cm-punks-injury-status-115381 Wow this really sucks and to think he would have become a top heel on Raw.
The Miz cashes in, new WWE champion. Orton goes for the RKO, Miz was waiting and turned it into the skull crushing finale. 1-2-3, new champ. It was a fair win.
Err.. It was technically Fair, but He was jumped by Nexus before his fight with Wade, and then barely beat Wade with Cena's help
I like Orton much better then Miz, but it's gonna be interesting to see Miz with the title for a bit.
I really hope they don't shit all over the Miz and make him look like a chump like they did with Jack Swagger. This has the potential to be very entertaining.
My 2 favorites on Raw are Randy Orton and Miz. So I'm pretty excited about this. My bud I watch Raw with every week always calls EVERYTHING and at the beginning he called it and I'm like what?...no wayyy... sure as shit
Yeah I really like the Miz as a heel but Orton is by far my favorite current wrestler not named Kurt Angle. Should be fun... The Miz is incredible on the mic.
The only way I want him to come back is if he kicks Barrett out of Nexus and becomes their leader, but this is the WWE so they'll probably have him beat the Miz for the title in a squash match and he'll still be face. I hate Cena.
Cena will never be heel I fear. He probably just wants a short break or else he'll be reinstated by HHH, Vince, or the GM.
