Does anyone have any info or has seen any Nu Wrestling Evolution in Italy around 2004, 2005? Apparently the wrestling scene in Italy was white hot, curious if anyone ever looked into this.

I liked that one too. Both men dug pretty deep into their war crates
All I remember is Rikishi was involved with it and I think Ultimate Warrior had his last match there against Orlando Jordan.
Could've sworn they did one in one of the HHH/Taker matches at Mania.

the new WWE game for all of the family, WWE SWERVE!
I hear it was orders from Heyman through Cole's headset at the announce table.
EVERYBODY WRITES TOO MUCH.

There have been Tombstone piledrivers in all of the past 4 Taker matches (as the finish for the second match vs both HHH and Michaels). I believe Shawn did one in his second match against the Undertaker and I think Lawler may have done one in his match against The Miz prior to Mania 27.
This guy Vince... THIS DAMN GUY VINCE! HIRE HIM!
It makes no god damn sense at all. The best part is that the heel turn and formation of the group was an off camera thing. It wasn't shown on the PPV and I'm not sure it was shown to the live crowd at all. It was shown on Nitro as an "after the PPV" kind of thing. Then they start the show off with an agonizing half hour promo segment that stopped being good about 10-12 minutes in. Then it finally ends and cuts to commercially only to come back to more of these guys in the back. I didn't think WCW 2001 would break me so quickly. This was worst than anything I saw in 2000.
Streak vs Reverse Streak
I feel like these kinds of situations add to the drama of the actual match. This isn't the best example, but think about all the discussion that happened in this thread about HHH's huge ego and how he'd have no problem putting himself over Taker. It made you think that it might not just be Taker taking the beating of his life and still winning which made the match better.
That said, I don't think anyone believes that they would have Punk go over Taker so it's kind of a moot point.
Kill him? he hasn't looked this strong in his entire title run.

Losses don't matter.
Yeah, it speaks to one of the other things I wondered... how does this match comes about.. like what's Undertaker's angle.
If Punk started talking up his title reign as the most impressive streak in WWE history.. I think that would have made a bit more sense.
instead of scrambling for a finish they could have teased a Taker return with lights going off and music which leads to an AA since Punk was distracted.
and for Cenation they could have had a pause between lights going off and music and played it off as Shield continuing to solve their John Cena problem
but nope, golden boy has to win clean with a cenacarrana leaving no logical way to continue that feud and having to force Taker v Punk

Provided they're worked properly.
I can't believe. No, I refuse to believe anyone watched monday's match and saw Punk getting squashed or even remotely looking weak in his loss against Cena.
Also, I refuse to believe that the same people complaining about fuck finishes and overbooked endings are now complaining about a clean match.
I refuse to. Punk looks stronger than ever and the match on monday was perfect for both men going into WM.

Yeah look at the second time Mr. H's lost to Taker. He won the war so he could get a third chance.
It's a weird double standard.. losses don't matter, but they always want Cena to win to look strong

Raw:
Punk is in the ring talking about how he pulled a pildriver a forbidden move to try and beat Cena.
*GONG*

I know what Punk will say now.
He'll come out and say his streak was a real streak and that wrestling one night a year at Mania is easy. Taker has it easy.
Punk wrestles physically demanding matches week in, week out, so much that his one year, equals 20 years of Taker's Wrestlemania streak.

There's no one else I'd rather have him wrestle that's free.
I think Punk Vs. Rock Vs. Cena would probably be a better match and would save that main event from being shit though.

they should bring MITB back to wrestlemania and replace the MITB ppv with KOTR!

I expect that entire feud to just be Punk shooting on how dumb the undertaker gimmick is.
At least that should be fun.
YES!
Last time was Wrestlemania 23 in 2007. HBK gave it to Cena on the steel steps.

I recall that show being really awful and then they turned the corner after that the Cruiserweight Tag Team title stuff being quality. We watched Nitro in that era because we didn't get TNN/Spike in the dorms at the time.
Also, if Heyman could have held out financially for another year or so with ECW they would have basically gotten a huge crop of talent (basically the original class of ROH guys) after WCW folded.

Dear god, yes. Tournaments are awesome. KOTR is awesome. No idea what WWE were thinking getting rid of it in the first place.
I'd be entirely fine with the death of all gimmick PPVs. They're dumb. Leave the gimmicks for feud ending matches, regardless of which show they're on.

I hope he talks about his wife.

Okay all these "Vince is furious over the piledriver" news stories are total BS right? Are all these dirt sheets just assuming "the piledriver was banned therefore Vince must have been furious" and making shit up? I find it hard to believe the spot wasn't planned and Vince wasn't fully aware of it.
It wouldn't even be the first time Taker was referred to as Mark on screen. It happened during Ministry Taker days when the story was that Mark got too into his gimmick and didn't realize it was a work, so Vince was all like "Mark, dude, seriously, you aren't really the devil, this isn't real, chill out". Then again during the Invasion where Mrs. Taker always called him Mark on screen.
