What Shawn Michaels joining TNA or Jack Swagger winning the World Heavyweight Championship?

 

[Jono]

Pretty sure he means Shawn in TNA

 

[GIMH]

Shawn in TNA

Never saw anything about Swagger winning the WHC

 

[masterblaster]

I knew that. I was just messing around. By the way, one thing out of the two metioned above has already happened.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Guys, we have spoiler tags for a reason...

Just watched Raw. Geez, how ****ing over is Orton?

Yeah watching Raw myself and Randy Orton is probably the most over guy on Raw at the moment. He's really close to becoming a Steve Austin type babyface and he's getting to that level in terms of how over he is with the fans.

 

[pinchy81]

Just seen the video of the incident taking place on a certain upcoming show and the crowd seems to be very into him

RAW this week was incredibly good imho. Not a single thing wrong with it. The heat Sheamus got during the HHH promo was insane. And yes, Randy Orton, what a badass.

NXT was amazing again. Despite all the unsmart marks moaning about Bryan being buried, he came out #1 in the 'pro's poll'. The winner of NXT gets the championship match of his choosing on PPV - Miz V Bryan coming soon, hopefully.

Also, Jericho on commentary was gold, see below for an excerpt

Matthews: What is it that you have against Daniel Bryan, Cole?

Cole: He's a nerd.

Matthews: Wait, what?

Jericho: Who are you to be calling anybody a nerd Michael Cole? Have you seen yourself?

Matthews: That's certainly the pot calling the kettle black.

Cole: Hey listen, I just think...

Jericho: Nobody cares what you think Mediocre Cole.

Cole/Matthews (can't remember who): Who did you vote for in the pro's poll Chris?

Jericho: Wade Barrett.

Cole/Matthews: You weren't allowed to vote for your own rookie.

Jericho: I can do what I want, I'm world champion.

NXT really is a fascinating show.

Best Raw for a while. Impact, on the other hand, was grim.

I love heel Michael Cole in it. His rant at bryan being ranked #1 was off the charts. Never thought I'd be heaping such praise on Cole.

Having a commentator against you can be a great way to build someone up, so kudos to the writers/Cole for coming up with that one.

Must give Bryan some wins though. If he keeps losing to NXT rookies, then it could be kayfabe seen that he is not a great wrestler which is not the message you want to get across, especially when NXT is still several months from finishing.

 

[GIMH]

Nah, I think it's better if he keeps losing. He's only ever lost to rookies due to circumstances - against Barrett he had the rib injury and in the tag match it was Tarver's fault. Would be a waste of what they've built to have him just go over another rookie now. For mine, his first win should come against The Miz, preferably on PPV. Just my two cents.

I disagree. You can only come up with so many circumstances for him to lose in. Give him a small winning streak as to build him up as a credible contender. A win over the Miz (or a loss in a long match) will get him massively over - you just need to build him up to that level first.
