Can't he team with some Canadians or something?No... there is another
Tyson Kidd and Christian can keep him company. Or maybe Santino.

Why would a guy from Tijuana team with Canadians? Is this a NAFTA thing for pro wrestlers?

Why, the inevitable WWE repackaging, of course!
His new name will be Gene Javert (because someone on the writing staff saw Les Mis over the Christmas break).
He will no longer wear a mask.
Instead, he will wear generic trunks and speak with a French Quebec accent while insulting the audience for not knowing what poutine is.
Because Americans will boo at people who sound different than they do. And chant WHAT and USA at them.

Shelton would have murdered Shawn with that flying-nothing if it wasn't reversed.

I'm at a loss as to who did the better sell job there.
SheltyB (taking that superkick) or JR (with the "oh my god in heaven" on commentary).
I believe you. Alberto Del Rio almost killed Randy Orton with it:

Guarantees: first 2 in the ring, last 2 in the ring, winner.
Also, at any time there are a couple of guys in the ring with ongoing story lines that are bound for WM.
So set the O/U at 5.5
Which now will be beat in 5 minutes.

I keep forgetting this is on this sunday.
I want to be excited, but I feel like it's just going to be upsetting as the status quo returns to rear it's ugly head.
Oh well. I'll be watching. Are we going to be posting reactions in this thread, the WrestleGAF thread, or both?

That's fucking crazy that's a long time. It felt shorter than that

new japan/all japan (i forget which still exists) have a lock on all the major buildings there. Vince would have to make agreements with them in order to run things there, because i doubt the building owners would want to work out something behing new/all japans back.
kinda the same reasons wcw never ran shows at msg, or went to canada (except when they had leverage named Bret Hart)
Or Lance Storm.

fuckin' called it, man
Well they do like to swerve. How great would it be if Punk succeeds where Cena fails?
..
yeah I guess that's not happening.

Maybe asked already, but who were the last few people who won the Rumble, then lost in their title match at Mania?
ADR.

im pretty sure WCWs first Canada show was Mayhem in 99, which was Harts first WCW world title win.

Thanks dude. Edge as well.
I just saw it in the OP, so I should read more/better also lol
Don't think so. Pretty sure his 'confrontation' with Goldberg was way before his first WCW world title.
Edit: Or is this PPV you are talking about?
First WCW shows in Canada were at the end of March of 1998.
There was a Nitro in Toronto, and 3 weeks worth of Saturday Nights Main Event tapings(that aired in May LOL) the following day in Kitchener.
Mayhem was definitely being sold on Bret's back, but none of the other Canada shows they did were. At NBR, Bret was unannounced and unadvertised and showed up only to congratulate Lance Storm after the match. Nitro the next night was in BC and had no Bret at all. Lance was the only advertised Canadian for those shows.

If Batista came out I would mark. I always enjoyed him as a wrestler. Not the best on the mic, but damn fun to watch in the ring. His spinebuster ranks with the best of them!
Boretista more like huehuehue.
I kid. He was pretty damn awesome. He delivered good spinebusters.

United States Championship: Antonio Cesaro vs. The Miz
Only because he is getting this push from HHH, I'd expect Cesaro has the belt again by the end of Wrestlemania.
WWE Tag Team Championships: Team Hell No vs. Team Rhodes Scholars
I think at this point Bryan Vs Kane at WM has to be the pay off. They lose here, and tensions get turned up, then they fail the rematch and explode.
World Heavyweight Championship (Last Man Standing Match): Alberto Del Rio vs. Big Show
It would make no sense to take it off him so quickly.
WWE Championship: CM Punk vs. The Rock
I don't like it, but I'm pretty sure it's going to happen. Rock will have the belt as he does the promo work building up to WM.
30-Man Royal Rumble for a Headlining Spot at WrestleMania XXIX: CM Punk
As a surprise Number 30, CM Punk comes down and wins by dumping Cena.

Would it magically cause John Cena to disappear and change the nonsensical ways that Vince McMahon screws with the booking?
DUCT TAPE!!!I await the glorious return of Brotista to win the Royal Rumble.
No but the crowd would make him a heel.
I can't stand the E C DUB chant. No idea why. It annoys the crap out of me.
He's been booed more consistently than 95% of the actual heels in the WWE for years now. Hasn't happened yet.

United States Championship: Antonio Cesaro vs. The Miz
WWE Tag Team Championships: Team Hell No vs. Team Rhodes Scholars
World Heavyweight Championship (Last Man Standing Match): Alberto Del Rio vs. Big Show
WWE Championship: CM Punk vs. The Rock
WrestleMania XXIX 30-Man Royal Rumble: Dolph Ziggler
United States Championship: Antonio Cesaro vs. The Miz
WWE Tag Team Championships: Team Hell No vs. Team Rhodes Scholars
World Heavyweight Championship (Last Man Standing Match): Alberto Del Rio vs. Big Show
WWE Championship: CM Punk vs. The Rock

I keep telling myself Punk will win via some revelation/reveal/whatever involving The Shield, then lose it to Ziggs somehow via cash in... but I should know better. Rock is absolutely fine without a title around his waist, so I don't understand why they would put it on him.
I'm sick of a few wrestling chants because they are so overdone to the point where they are very annoying. Chanting the promotion's name, "This is awesome" and "This is wrestling" are the ones I despise now. I want loud and rowdy fans cheering and booing their heads off but those kind of chants come off as being really stupid now.
It's sort of like I want it to be like going to see sports. You don't hear people chanting "This is football" during games. But I'm fine with hearing basic "Let's Go [Team]" chants. At least then you are cheering for someone taking part in the game.

I'm telling that myself too but I fully expect to be disappointed.

'Boring' chants get on my tits. Mainly because whenever it's chanted it's a couple of smarks in the fifth row and nobody else. If you don't like what you're watching go to the toilet, get a snack or something.
