Aiii, I've updated my post with the iPPVs I missed - can you add it to the OP? Thanks.

There is no way I can watch all these iPPVs live.

Works out pretty good for me, 9pm-12am & 1am-4am on the Friday, 5pm-8pm & 1am-4am on the Saturday, 6pm-9pm & 12am-5am on Sunday...although I doubt I could fit New Japan in there if that one turns out to be an iPPV too.

*edit, oh goddamn, New Japan IS an iPPV. Good god, too much wrestling! TOO MUCH! Can I possibly fit 24 hours of wrestling into 72 hours of weekend?

 

[Aiii]

Done.

 

[Kaladin]

I just realized something.......

You can spend $130 on iPPVs alone.....if you add in Wrestlemania, you are spending $200 on wrestling in one weekend, and you didn't even go to the damn show.

The Memory Remains

That was fun. We should totally do it again for 30.

 

[zychi]

where would the storyline go if Cena does win?

He has to beat Dwayne again because theyre tied 1-1. Or he goes for takers streak.


In all seriousness, what does Cena have left to do besides pretend hype an event 12 months in advance? He should go to TNA and try and revitalize it

he would probably be successful in doing so

 

[bangai-o]

since Cena went into a great depression that resulted in ending the relationship with his wife, I wonder what could happen to him if he loses again.

 

[krae_man]

Sure.

Edit: Airtran has super cheap flights between Buffalo and NOLA. Sweet!

My guess is the Bellas would fear for their career...

 

[Kaladin]

Sure.

I'm thinking of staying the whole week next year, since it's New Orleans.

Not sure I can afford that. I'd probably go Thurs/Fri-Monday again.

I won't lie, it hyped me up.

And take note the vid was made weeks before Royal Rumble and called him winning it.

I wonder this year how they will troll the fans with Daniel Bryan. Guy has the worst Wrestlemania luck.

Probably losing via AJ interference, Big-E goes for the 5 count.

 

[bangai-o]

wow. Cena was losing all sorts last year. Its good that he is finally to rise.

 

[somedevil]

Probably losing via AJ interference, Big-E goes for the 5 count.

Thats not bad at all because he will actually wrestle for more than 18 seconds. I mean like they have the match and he never gets tagged in until the finish where he gets pinned and then Kane choke slams him after the lose.

 

[KenOD]

Random match. Kana & Shirai Sisters vs Serena Deeb, Shuri Mokoto.

His prized gym will go out of business and/or set on fire that he had absolutely nothing to do with at all.

Or.

Fred Flintstone reclaims Fruity Pebbles.

Both equally traumatic.

I was wondering why Cena's other Rumble victory was in the package.

I'm not sure if this has been posted but Rick Bassman (promoter and agent, founded and ran UPW, discovered Sting, Ultimate Warrior, Cena, Chris Masters and a ton of other guys) is doing a kickstarter to fund production of his book and they've got 36 hours to get the remaining $5k:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/23420271/been-there-done-that-the-book-the-life

I doubt it'll be successful but I figured it was worth posting here.

What I found really cool was looking through the backers. Goldberg, DDP, Chris Daniels, Kazarian, Sting, Raven, Shane Helms, Adam Pearce and a bunch of other names I recognise are on it (and they're legit).

 

[Razorskin]

Fred Flintstone reclaims Fruity Pebbles.

They could a real awesome feud with cartoon drawn Fred doing via satellite promos, stealing the Rock mannerisms and catchphrases culminating to an actual PPV match.

 

[British Monsoon]

Wait, what? Charlie Haas has retired, or 'retired';

"@CharlieHaas: Officially retired. No match against @Sheltyb803 nxt week NYC. Time to be a full time dad and husband. I've turned my spandex in for scrubs"

And some quotes from fans at the ROH show earlier;

"I just left “War” in Asheville, NC. After returning from the restroom I heard a loud yelling from behind the curtain. It was Haas yelling at Grizzly. After a lot of “F bombs.” Haas hit Grizzly Redwood in the face. Steen helped walk Redwood to the bathroom and hes was bleeding from his face.(Keep in mind this was all behind the side of the curtain while a match was going on.) Later Haas came out and started “shooting”. He said something about Delirious booking and many other things. He also yelled at Kevin Kelly a few times during the match and said something like, “Fuck Nigel” towards Kevin Kelly during a headlock. After the match there was a guy waving him back but he didn’t want to get out of the ring and started shooting again and then thanked the fans."

"He comes out to take on some guy who's name I don't know to this very minute...And Haas gets the mic and tells everyone in the audience that he's given it all to wrestling and all his friends have died (naming his brother Russ, Umaga, and Lance Cade) and this is his last match. We all are shocked, obviously, and a "Thank You Charlie!" chant starts up. And he starts crying. He says he can't wipe his ass without it hurting and turning 40 sucks. He basically tells Kevin Kelly to go fuck himself about ten times then the match begins. He's yelling a Kevin Kelly the entire time and said he was going to beat the hepatitis out of Nigel McGuinness, and that drew some noise from us... And Haas loses to this guy with a little crucifix pinning combo...

So he's lying there on the mat crying and he gets up to more "Thank You Charlie!" He asks for a mic again. The ROH crew refuses, as some of the guys near the curtain are waving for him to come back and don't do all this. They absolutely won't give him the mic. So my buddy yells out for everyone to shut up so we can hear him talk and luckily they do. He thanks us all and tells us how much he loves us, and how he's ready to be a good father and husband. He then hops out of the ring and gives Kevin Kelly the finger very agressively and walks out."

till the end and I literally got pissed off on just how it ends. Utunga has a small decent role. But Already saying way too much

That looks like a compelling story. They should have fucking told that story.

This brings me to a point: I have an Assassin's Creed III code for the PC that I'm never going to redeem. If you want it, post how you would have booked the year between WM28 and now differently (or the same, but better). Stay within the available rosters:

1) Brock has two matches you can use for the year
2) The Rock has an appearance in 2012 proper (Road to WM has as many as you need) and two matches he can use for the entire year
3) Cena sustains an injury in October so he's out of HIAC
4) Punk's out of TLC for the same reason
5) Jericho has his Fozzy tour from Sept.-Jan.

Unless I'm forgetting something major, those are the only stipulations you need to follow.

Entries due by the three count of Rock-v-Cena next Sunday. (When you post, I'd appreciate it if you could PM me a link to the post to make sure I don't lose it in the thread.) Best entry wins. Any takers?

 

[bangai-o]

do we need to worry about Mark Henry injury?

 

[Razorskin]

I can't wait to see Ryback botch performing Shellshock on Mark Henry.

I'm suspecting they'll have some cable suspension system in place for that spot. Henry discretely secures himself to an invisible cable to assist Ryback.

 

[Alucard]

and apparently this wasn't an angle.

Holy shit. That's some ridiculous shit. He just came back to ROH TV too.

I'm looking forward to a five knuckle shuffle pin victory...

 

[KenOD]

WWE is amazing where it decides to randomly continue something from the past. Remember back when Kaitlyn was attacked by someone in a blonde wig and how Teddy was implicated, well he still has the wig.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCetPAiozPs&feature=share&list=PLqIVmFaHA8BoKALW4Mx0yUxAqpbOgOlUQ

Also Bryan wrestles a bear. Doing something Chavo never could.

and apparently this wasn't an angle.

Just amazing, though still confusing. I hope we get the full story soon, but no matter how it turns out, I can't say anything against a man wanting to spend more time with his family or leaving before they hurt too much.

I'm looking forward to a five knuckle shuffle pin victory...

I bet he has a Make A Wish kid join in somehow, just to really drive home how HE HAD TO WIN!

Has Steve Blackman aged? Also, what role does he play in the company now?

 

[Pavaloo]

That looks like a compelling story. They should have fucking told that story.

WWE will never embrace the "CENA SUCKS" as they should. He could be god damn Atlas.

 

[KenOD]

Has Steve Blackman aged? Also, what role does he play in the company now?

After defeating malaria and through sheer will for his body to heal itself, something like ageing isn't even an issue. His cells start to decay? He just stares at them and they stop. Either that or dedicated training constantly with strict eating habits, but the first one is more likely.

He doesn't work for the WWE, he just shows up when he is in the same area as a WWE event to be with the friends he still has there. Though the school he owns and operates for martial arts sometimes helps out wrestlers seeking extra training, so he still has a presence through that.
