Re: Official WrestleMania Thread

Back on my usual soapbox, but it says a lot about the WWE's treatment of their titles that people are only scantly paying attention to the world title matches when they assess this card's potential.

Both big belt matches should be awesome.

Re: Official WrestleMania Thread

that build up has been jericho saying "i'm a former champ that returned a few months before wm, therefore i get a wm title shot. and losing the title will turn you into a drunk, even though it didn't the other 3 times you've lost it"

Re: Official WrestleMania Thread

Yeah the angle has been really rushed since they changed directions with it. Still, they've made it into a more intense feud and certainly you have to expect that they'll deliver on the match in a big way.

Re: Official WrestleMania Thread

The angle is Jericho is showing that Punk is fake in everything he does. Punk isn't the real best in the world, he is. Punk isn't really straight edge and he'll prove it. Punk clams to be the voice of the voiceless and this agent of change but in reality he's no different than John Cena. And at Wrestlemania Jericho is going to take the only thing that holds Punk together, I think the builds been very good.

Re: Official WrestleMania Thread

Re: Official WrestleMania Thread

While I'll certainly be picking Punk in the pool, a Jericho win wouldn't shock me at all. Of course, it's a near-lock that Punk would regain the belt from him shortly after.

Nash: I got a call and they said 'Can you be at SummerSlam and can you stick Punk and let Del Rio grab the strap?' And I went 'yes.' (laughs) I'm not that dumb. Whoa! You're talking about disappearing from the Rumble and coming back. I got that second pop when I showed up at Summersrlam and stuck him. People were, like, what the hell. I thought it was excellently booked

People were indeed thinking " like, what the hell."

he left out the part where wwe had to spring for the nwo music to cover up the pin-drop silence all of his future appearances would cause

Re: Official WrestleMania Thread

I like how he says he got a second pop at Summerslam, but that actually does make sense. That whole angle was a travesty, but if what he says is true, it's disappointing because I wouldn't have minded that angle at all if done properly.

Re: Official WrestleMania Thread

Meh. Its like choosing between being stabbed in the eye with a blunt stick or a sharp stick. They cant be so lacking for storyline that they'd need to play it out with Nash involved at all, or if they do then use him in a very very minimal non wrestling way.

Re: Official WrestleMania Thread

yeah im back to being a diesel mark.... read it all and it makes a lot of sense.

the conspiracy and johnny v hhh would probably have been amazing and have given a lot of the midcard guys a much more interesting storyline than "watch zack ryder brush his teeth before the main event"
