Nah, he's been getting face pops against others. Personally, I don't want to see it but just saying

please be real.

santino sitcom rumors

Can Orton even work as a face? He was lolbad the last time.

It sounded to me that it'd be the same:Raw>SD>>>ECW/NXT>>>>>>>>>FCW.

hey where do you guys get your news from besides the observer? i always get it from pwinsider.com

wrestlezone, but they can be hit and miss.

I wouldn't mind Orton if he did an anti-hero sort of thing where he just RKOed any face or heel that messed with him

I thought Orton was gonna smile, hug and apologize during the little Raw backstage thing.

That woulda helped put him over for a face turn.

My guess is, they are waiting for just the right moment. But it WILL happen by the time Wrestlemania ends...

Also, Luke Gallows deserves a bump.

He's been an unheralded good worker for a long time...

lordsofpain is still a good source of news/rumours

Wrestling News World is the most reliable. They often dont get some breaking news because they check their sources but on the other hand they dont spread false rumours (Punk being relegated due to what he wears on tour is a great example of BS they didnt touch) and they break a lot of big stories before others precisely because they have sources in the companies.

+1 to Gallows. He needed a huge gimmick change and the straight edge stuff is a stroke of genius. Seriously its like everything Punk touches now turns to gold. He isnt an amazing worker in any way but he is a solid midcard guy and not a terrible big guy worker. I cant see him going much higher than he is now but riding on Punk coat tails will do him some good until that stable finally breaks up.

One thing to consider on giving Miz and Show the titles is Show is working in constant knee pain and Miz is the US champ. They just arent in a position to work both shows and defend the gold constantly unlike Punk and Gallows who seem to have zero health issues and are, in the case of Gallows, much more needing of the gold to get them over. Anyway like i say Punk is the most over heel right now from all the reports from live events and what ive seen on TV so id be shocked if they dont get strapped. The only X factor is if they want to do the match with Punk vs Rey at Mania which probably means they will be held off from the tag titles until after that. The thing with that plan however is they want to do a hair vs mask (meaning Rey wins by default) which will nerf a lot of the momentum the SES has right now with Punk jobbing to Rey who then needs to go have surgery anyway. Unless they will then turn the rematch into a retirement match of some kind like he did to Jeff last year...i dunno, its all speculation right now as even creative dont know what to do yet.

Re: ECW, i dont much care about the name. Not sure what it needs to turn around ratings but i suspect giving it less prestige by retiring its name and building it specifically to introduce new workers will do that. With half a dozen guys i can pick from the midcards of Raw and SD and booking control i reckon i could double the audience and elevate some guys to main event level however. The third brand just screams out for a competitive cruiserweight style belt. Kinda like WWE's own X Division.

Fwiw i think Orton being face turned is beyond terrible. He is a natural heel to the point i just cant envisage him working face. He is old school keeping in character outside of the arenas (which sometimes leads to fights and accusations of spitting at kids, lol) but he is so grossly over right now as a heel he doesnt need to be face turned. There are too many faces in the WWE as it is and its not like Cena where a change in character could make him fresher and more exciting. His entire gimmick right down to how he wrestles screams heel.

Finally i think Sheamus is having a good run right now. Someone mentioned that he hasnt had much in the way of clean wins over legit stars but the same can be said for Punk back on his first reign. Now i tend to agree he was pushed far too soon but they seem to have made the best of a bad situation and he seems to have a pretty bright future. I like his look down to the Casper tan (he goes to ridiculous efforts to stay that white btw) and his mic work is pretty damn solid. He could do with some more seasoning in the ring but thats something only time will fix. Provided he isnt nerfed i can see him having a great year once he finally gets to the point where he can get clean wins over guys like Orton.

That terrible show being called "ECW" was blasphemy.

411mania.com/wrestling is my spot. great site with news and articles, including the best ROH article every saturday.

Smackdown spoilers in the following discussion:

Also, I hope Big Show doesn't win the titles, ends up getting in a fight with Miz, and ends up turning face leading to a Big Show/Miz feud. It'd get Big Show back into a title picture, turn him face, and setup a great feud for Miz to push him even farther. Even if he doesn't turn face, just get him into something please, he keeps getting buried back into Tag Team shots, with random people now, and it's getting pretty meh.

For the spoilered bit:


I cant remember Show ever being a true face, but i could see it working. He needs a change in character because right now its a little stale imo.

Fwiw i like his spot right now on the roster. He has lost a fair bit of credibility with his work with Cena but could add tonnes of value helping elevate guys like Miz by working with or against them. Big Show acting as a friend and mentor to younger workers and developing the tag roster is much better than playing a monster heel who still jobs out constantly to guys like Cena and Hunter.

Fwiw i really like the direction the WWE has been going in this year with guys like Truth, Miz and Kofi being built up by guys like Punk, Show and Orton. Like 6 months ago Truth was a jobber who was hugely over, Miz was getting squashed by Cena and Kofi was stuck in the midcards with a dumb Jamaican gimmick and it was inconceivable the three of them could become world champs depending on storylines in the forthcoming 12 months.

Now it would be easy for at least one of them to get a run, esp with Rey, Taker, Show, HBK and Cena all looking for time off after Mania for rest and/or surgery.

He's been funny before, and hinted the face turn before, it was definitely funny and I think he could be great, but who knows

re: kong

TNA star Suicide (Frankie "Kaz" Kazarian) "allegedly" caught with his hands in the cookie jar (with pics) NSFW

did anyone in this topic really wanna see those pictures? lol

Are they pics of him or the mistress?

why don't you click and find out?

Lol, does he wear the Suicide mask in the porn vid?

I misread that twice btw, i read TNA star suicide was Kaz, not TNA star Suicide (played by Kaz). At first i was like holy ****, Kaz killed himself!

Anyway, i dont much care because Kaz is the man and Traci Brooks has weird tits. O/U on how many times Bischoff asked them to turn this into an onscreen story by bringing in the porn star for a one story contract?

Btw, anyone else catch Smackdown last night? I really loved it, they are really bringing it right now in WWE with a good PPV, Raw and SD this week. Its been a while since ive seen a full WWE show, usually just catching highlights of good matches and segments, but it was fun start to finish. R Truth dancing in the ring as the crowd popped huge for him after his match was hilarious and even the womens match whilst short was intriguing. TNA has been terrible recently but it seems what little competition they have brought has been improving the WWE, or at the very least the build towards Mania has.

So I didn't watch Impact this week but I guess it must have been awful since none of you guys have commented on it

Kaz/Brooks vs Lela Star/Sean Morley?
