Don't know about that. Can't imagine he's got the right look for the WWE.

 

[GIMH]

Hmm, I think he'd fit nicely with the direction they are going in. And they seem quite keen on Husky Harris, who is quite similar to him.

 

[sledger]

I'd agree with SBI insofar that I'm not convinced that his image is of the right ilk for WWE, that said they have been pulling a lot of surprises recently, so I guess we will see.

I see Shane Helms is making a complete idiot out of himself on the internet at the moment, repeatedly making jibes at Shawn Michaels. Always thought that he, and both of the Hardys were quite reasonable and well balanced sorts, but they have all behaved in really stupid and childish ways with their conduct online recently, it's pretty pathetic to be honest. Whether you like HBK or not (which I do) you have to give him credit for refusing to become embroiled in this whole ongoing row. Good for him.

 

[Jono]

Details please

On the latest episode of the Highway 2 Helms show, former WWE star "Hurricane" Shane Helms did not have kind words for Shawn Michaels. When co-host Marty Gardner asked Helms who his least favorite wrestler of all-time is, Helms answered Shawn Michaels. Helms noted that HBK was an idol of his when he grew up, but says that, "he really let me down as a person." Helms went on to say that Michaels is "the biggest hypocrite in the business" and that "his whole religious gimmick is a f***ing work".

Helms made sure to note that Michaels as a performer was great, mentioning his matches with Undertaker, but then called Michaels "****-eyed cross-eyed piece of sh**."

From there, Helms told a story about being so angry at Michaels at a show last year that he wanted to hit him, not caring if he got fired by WWE over it. Michaels was apparently having an argument with Chris Jericho at catering and was verbally attacking Jericho, which Helms did not agree with. Helms also noted that Michaels is "one of the biggest drug users in the history of the business...who has snorted more coke and done more steroids" than anybody else in wrestling.

Following up his recent comments on Shawn Michaels, Hurricane Helms tweeted, "I wonder if I backstab a bunch of people and hurt careers & family's and slaughter animals for fun but then pray on stage, that make it ok? Just wondering? :-) But enough about that hypocrite, I'm home after a great but hard working tour and got to catch up on my DVR's."

Hurricane Helms tweeted: "I think I might go murder some animals for fun and hang their heads on my wall cuz that's what Jesus would do. Right @ShawnMichaels_ ?" Helms also called HBK fans "retards".

Shawn Michaels tweeted: "Jus got bak. Wow u guys r fired up! Sorry u have 2 deal w/it. Don't worry, I don't. Comes w/the territory. have zero desire 2 do the internet stuff other than corresponding w/u. U can make ur own decisions & I will respect them. May I now return to having fun w/ u all please. Life is 2 short 4 me 2 go thru High school again:-) "

When someone asked him why isn't he sticking up for himself, he tweeted: "Ur the ones that upset why do I hav 2 do sumthing."

There you go..

No doubt Michaels tweets on his phone whilst two chicks blow him. No doubt at all.

 

[masterblaster]

Nah I agree with Sledger. Really poor from Helms. He comes across as a bitter has been ex employee while Shawn Michaels has clearly taken a classier approach in this. For whatever Shawn was back in the day, Shawn admits it openly and doesn't run away from it. At least he has tried to get his life back on track and become a better person. Helms' rant is on Youtube and watching that is a disgrace. Along with the Hardy's he has no place in professional wrestling in 2010.

 

[Jono]

I never said what Helms did was right.

But it's funny. Can imagine him saying it in the Hurricane outfit

Also what did the Hardy boys say?

 

[masterblaster]

Raw was outstanding this week again. Raw has been so good over the last few weeks and this week was no exception. The opening segment with Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and CM Punk was one of the best in recent memory and got Raw off to a really good start. CM Punk continues to be absolute gold on commentary and it was hilarious when he was the one reading the Raw GM's message at the start of the show.

The one thing I would've done differently though is sell Cena's firing for a good month. After Cena cut the promo of his career a couple of weeks ago, I genuinely thought that it would be great if Cena had a little break to really sell the firing angle. Unfortunately this hasn't been the case and the Nexus vs Cena storyline has suffered as a result.

The rest of the show was really strong and I really like the idea of Sheamus as the King of the Ring. This sets up his eventual rematch with a returning Triple H very nicely and unlike last year's Wrestlemania match between the two, I'm very keen on seeing a much more refined and developed Sheamus take on a fresher, returning Triple H.

Matt Hardy has been a complete idiot about the way he has handled his WWE release. He's been trying to work the WWE, his fan base and the internet wrestling community when it's clear as day that he's the one with issues and this is coming from a Matt Hardy fan.

I've been a fan of his and have always preferred him to Jeff but the way he has carried on with his online rants and the fact that he failed drug testing and forced WWE to change their wellness policy because of his violation speaks volumes. Just check out his Youtube account and watch some of his videos.

As for Jeff Hardy, he jumped to TNA in the middle of the WWE giving him World Heavyweight Championships and a really big run at main event level. The reason he jumped, well because WWE were cracking down on drug use and TNA is very lenient on drug use so he went there.

Plus his shoot video bagging CM Punk for being straight edge while he was high on something was just pathetic. You can see it for yourself and make your own decision. But the Hardy's and Helms are no longer relevant and have no place in professional wrestling in 2010.

While I guess we're not doing a battle of the wrestlers yet, I'd be interested to see who people's top 10 favourite wrestlers are at this stage. Obviously this list tends to change of the years, but currently who do people here see as their favourite stars? You can mention current superstars from any of the major promotions. I'll have a go at listing out my current top 10:

1. Christian
2. Chris Jericho
3. Daniel Bryan
4. CM Punk
5. Alberto Del Rio
6. Edge
7. The Miz
8. Wade Barrett
9. Sheamus
10. The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin)

As you'd expect, pretty WWE heavy given the quality of their young superstars and their shows as of late. In previous years I defintiely would've had someone like a Kurt Angle, AJ Styles or Samoa Joe on there but they've all had very poor years and TNA overall has had a very poor year.

For me the standout stars are Daniel Bryan, Alberto Del Rio and The Miz who have had outstanding years. Sheamus has continued to improve and Wade Barrett has made an outstanding impression. All are future World Heavyweight Champions and main event level talent.

My usual favourites of Christian, Chris Jericho, CM Punk and Edge have all had fantastic years and continue to be the best in the WWE. But ultimately it has been a great year for WWE in introducing and developing young superstars, which is great to see.

Yes, I agree with everything you have said here.

I'm not sureif I can really put it into any order, but the guys I have enjoyed watching most over the last year or so would contain the following:

Chris Jericho
The Miz
Wade Barrett
Randy Orton
Sheamus
Daniel Bryan
John Morrison
Kane
Del Rio

Also I'll give some props to Santino, who seems to have been on a bit of a roll as of late. WAG.

 

[Jono]

Hahahah Matt appears at the end.




So sad.

No CM Punk or John Cena? But otherwise good list. Surprised to see Kane there. Granted he deserved winning the World Heavyweight Championship after so many years, but his reign as champion hasn't been that great.

 

[masterblaster]

So sad.

He seemed high on something too. Sad because I always thought Matt was the more level headed one.

I'd not actually seen the whole thing before now, but it's ****ing embarassing. I'd also point out it's rather ironic, that Jeff Hardy refers to the small size of Punk's world, then says how he's in the big wide world or whatevever (which is very well symbolised by him clasping his fists together in a small ball )

I loved the Youtube comment made by the uploader saying 'Lets support Jeff Hardy's voyage to Pluto!' after Jeff said that if the world was full of straight edge people, he rather live on Pluto. I thought that was hilarious!
