I think this is a major own goal by the WWE, Lashley had everything needed to make him a star, a little work needed on the mic work but his image and ability were good enough to make him a leading star, and the wwe obviously thought so as well as he was pushed loads and put in several important angles. Very sad to see him go tbh, was looking forward to his return.
Glad someone agrees with me, London/Kendrick are my fave tag-team of all time TBH and are really REALLY talented.
Dammit, if that man would stop getting in his own way he could have been such a star. All it takes is to (if you'll pardon the pun) play the game a little bit, and not piss off the wrong people, but he has to go around smoking weed in public and mouthing off about everyone. Wasted talent.
Just watching ECW now, looking forward to seeing Kofi go at it. Amused by the fact that he looks very similar to Elijah Burke, they'll probably team up eventually.
Yeah, from the recap I read before I saw it, Raw sounded crap, but it was actually pretty decent. HBK vs Kennedy was great, I hope this feud continues 'cause all their matches have been fantastic so far. Working with HBK is really bringing out the best in Kennedy's in-ring work.
haha he botched that powerbomb on purpose? I thought it was just the two of them screwing it up somehow! He's had a few nasty injuries actually, I remember when kurt Angle botched a big moonsault and broke his arm, and then that suplex on RVD off the apron through a table gave him that huge gash on his back. Also remember when they ran some stupid skit about Holly beating up a WCW fan in WWF new york when it was still open, pretty stupid but amusing at the same time. Tbh its a surprise holly has lasted this long, nevre really had much going for him, and why the hell he is called "hardcore" hell only knows, the most hardcore thing he has ever done is hit someone with a trash can ffs.
Yeah, apparently he sandbagged it as revenge for Lesnar working too stiff with him - I can understand how a monster like Lesnar should be encouraged to go easy to a certain extent, but Holly's reaction was just plain stupid. The irony of the whole thing is that the fact that Lesnar worked so stiff with everyone was part of the reason why he was so good.
I suppose you could formulate an argument to say that Holly made a huge sacrifice and did it for lesnars own good, but I like you just think thats idiotic, seeing as a powerbomb can be dangerous enough when its done properly, let alone botched like that one.
Yeah, it's a weird one. I can understand them seeing how UFC are a major rival, but he's never even mentioned or anything. Even Angle is occasionally referenced (witness HBK putting the Ankle Lock on Orton at Survivor Series), but Lesnar, no. Wouldn't be surprised if they go the whole hog and give the next beefy superstar to come out of OVW the F-5 as a finisher and then forget Brock completely. Actually, thinking of it, I'd love to see someone else do Brock's repeating powerbomb thing, 'cause that was awesome.
Yeah, the Banned Moves List was cooked up by Triple H apparently. Obviously in an attempt to make sure no-one became so interesting they surpassed his popularity level. Having said that, you can blame the Lesnar incident from WM19 just as much as you can blame HHH.
Yeah, I've noticed Rey doesn't do the 619 like he used to. However, I wasn't sure if that might be something to do with his knee injury, he was doing the West Coast Pop as recently as WM22 and his injury was only 6 months or so after that. Hasn't done it since he got back, either.
