The OTTB Wrestling News thread

[ShencotheMC]

Jay talked about how he begged AJ to be in his wrestling class because he thought she was really cute. They started dating a couple months after the training began. Jay was the one who initiated the relationship. He didn’t wanna go into why it ended because she wasn’t there to defend herself.

He also mentioned being hurt by hearing AJ responded ”who’s lethal” to a fan when asked about him.

That shit is foul

Here go the whole interview though 42:50 in I think

Former NFL linebacker Shawne Merriman was at the WWE Performance Center in Florida. Merriman posted a Facebook photo of of his beat up back with marks that come from running the ropes. However, Merriman claimed on his Twitter page that he "just visited some friends at WWE training facility, that's it." Follow him online at Twitter.com/shawnemerriman

Powell's POV: It looks like Merriman was doing more than just visiting based on the marks on his back. C.M. Punk and Merriman had a Twitter war last February that began when Punk mocked the former NFL player for "striking out" with the Divas. Punk later commented on the matter in an interview with the Chicago Tribune.

"All I did was observe him walking around poolside, back and fourth, around in circles," Punk told Luis Arroyave. "I had no clue who he was, just knew that this guy was obviously trying to get noticed. When that didn't work, he sent his publicist after the girls, which is the most lacking of testicles thing ever. That's how we found out who he was.

"When THAT didn't work I watched him run after them as they tried to leave. Dude clowned himself and all I did was report the facts and laugh about it. On the road, the WWE is a family. The divas are my sisters, and like any big brother, I don't want creeps around my little sisters."

I forgot all about this. 'Twas hilarious, Merriman should go ahead and get in the ring.

- If you’re wondering about all the recent incidents where it appears TNA will do something on their TV program and then WWE will immediately turn around and do the same thing on their program the next week, it’s not a coincidence. As much as Vince McMahon claims he doesn’t think anything about TNA and doesn’t consider them competition, that’s not the case at all, and creative on both sides watch the other side’s programming.

What are these things? I've seen one instance of TNA doing something and WWE following suit (the preshow flashbacks to the week before). Now it looks like the opposite is true. Also TNA is not competition however that doesn't mean WWE should act like they don't exist. It is possible they do something innovative that WWE can mimic or capitalize on.

- With the 2014 WWE pay-per-view dates recently being released, it appears WWE will be dropping either Battleground or Hell In a Cell in 2014. They will run 13 pay-per-views however they are going to add a second pay-per-view to June, bringing back The Bash at The Beach. There is also talk that next year’s October pay-per-view may feature a War Games match, something fans have been wanting for a long time. The only potential hang-up is that Survivor Series usually features four-on-four matches and it would be odd to do a four-on-four in October and in November.

Damn dirtsheets.

Good discussion topic though, should WWE bring back WCW PPVs?

I certainly don't think Bash at the Beach should be one of those. I mean Starrcade is the obvious choice and I suppose War Games is a good one. They did bring in Great American Bash a few years back as a SD only PPV but they kinda butchered it.

Bash at the Beach had one of the best wrestling sites ever

Rumor time

Punk was the one that railed against Cena screwing a young diva and basically told Cena and anyone that would listen about it. Punk used to be the guy that went out of his way to protect the Diva’s and make sure they got to their rooms safe and away from the boys. Two things are happening now that guys in the locker room feel is hypocritical. Randy Orton is screwing Jo-Jo and Punk hasn’t said one thing about it and Punk screwing AJ Lee is a sore spot because AJ still talks about Jay Lethal as the man she will be with in the end and because AJ is the locker room darling. The wrestlers love her and want to protect her but apparently Punk was with AJ while he was with Lita. AJ is going to get punished by WWE for her secret relationship with Punk by most likely dropping the title to Brie Bella. So Punk is acting like he’s above the rules he kinda set because he’s the big star now.

We'll see

 

[RawAce]

That's jus too much goin on in one locker room

 

[jono]

This happened....

 

[Cymicaldane]

Punk nailing divas left and right aint no news. He did that on the indies, TNA and so on

 

[DOPEdweebz]

@jono aces n eights did come out b4 tge shield. Now they ended up completely different at the end but the concept at the beginning was the same. If it waa reversed then WWE fans here would be saying TNA was jocking WWE hard.

I'll keep going if you want me to... Btw nothing in wrestling is original and WWE rehashes alot of their old shit n get a lazyboy pass for it but when WCW kept rehashing the nWo it waa but but it sucks. Grant the time between rehashing is alot lot longer , as wrestling fans we just need to stop looking at shit with The Ultimate Bias.

At the end of the day who cares, as long as its executed well.

Backstage News on Why Ryback Has Heat with WWE Officials, How Vince McMahon May React

- There has been lots of internal talk about the future of Ryback lately. He has heat on him for several different things.

For one, officials feel he hasn't really developed well in the ring like they were hoping. There's a feeling that Ryback has actually regressed in the ring. He also has heat on him for roughing up several different talents, most recently CM Punk.

Officials also feel that Ryback doesn't present himself well when making appearances for the company. WWE has gotten feedback on several appearances he's made over the past few months where people said he didn't look happy to be there, and this began before they turned him heel. One source described it as Ryback seeming to be annoyed by making public appearances.

It's said the "bloom is off the rose" with Ryback unless he turns things around. Vince McMahon has lost so much faith in Ryback that he may remove Paul Heyman from him so Heyman can move forward.

damn homie nah i dont care

I bet Vince was watching the BET awards (or heard about it) and decided Mark Henry had to become Rick Ross.

He gonna make him wear giant pajamas like Viscera or valour like Team Angle

 

[TonyDubbz]

Mark done reinvented himself with the cutting of the dreads. Look forward to em coming back still hope he get that title run in the near future too. Could you imagine Mark winnin the rumble? shit would be GOAT

 

[RawAce]
