BTW, did you all notice how bad the signs were yesterday? This one was the worst of 'em all:

Whoever told this guy he could draw needs to be put in a legit LeBell Lock.[/QUOTE]

Still would. Especially since the shirt arrangement makes it seem like she's topless underneath. Which makes me would even more.

You know what they should do with this angle? Put AJ, Bryan and Punk in the ring in seats and have Jerry Lawler do a Springer style interview with some security in the ring to keep things in order. It would get the crowd to chant Jerry and be hysterical......but no, WWE can't be that creative.
 

Aiii

So not worth it
Lets face it, the only money-making combo here is AJ and Bryan. Which means WWE will definitely not go that route.

Ring of Honor Tag Titles news:

How will new champions be crowned?

Due to the unfortunate departure of Kenny King, one half of the ROH World Tag Team Champions, The All Night Express has been officially stripped of the ROH World Tag Team Titles, thus rendering the championship titles officially VACANT.

As a result ROH officials have determined that there will be an 8 Team Tag Tournament beginning on August 3rd in Baltimore at The Du Burns Arena with the entire opening round of matches being featured at the “Ring of Honor Wrestling” TV Tapings.

ROH officials have also determined that the tournaments semi-finals and finals will take place at a later date. With that being said, ROHWrestling.com was also informed that the first team entered into the field will be:

The 7-Time Former ROH World Tag Team Champions Jay & Mark Briscoe!!

Keep checking back to ROHwrestling.com as we will be announcing teams throughout the weeks leading up to the big ROH World Tag Team Championship Tournament! And pick up your tickets right here, for the 8/3 TV Tapings in Baltimore and catch the entire first round of the tournament yourself!!

Kenny King leaves and they punish Rhett Titus too......I'm sure that is going over well in the locker room.
 
I know everyone here has a boner for Serena, but imagine if they could have a new SES back with AJ in her place. MONEY. It's the only way a Punk/AJ team would work, anything else is going to be horrible.

And then Hornswoggle can be revealed to be AJ's true love and we can have another hilarious HW moment when he beats up Bryan on stage after a brief shouting match.

AJ losing her hair would be unacceptable!
 
Hornswaggle can make anything worse.

Just testing your theory and it works a treat.
We should add Hornswoggle to classic WWE moments and have them made worse.
- HW as the higher power
- HW did it for da Rock, he did it for da people

Or use him to solve the other unsolved mysteries...
- GTV was actually leprechaun tv, why G? because he couldn't spell back then.
- HW raised the briefcase

Or add him to factions like Hornswoggle joining DX....hang on a second, dammit!

Hornswoggle going on a 200 bout undefeated streak and not losing the big gold belt untill he's tasered by Kevin Nash.

No wait, actually, that could work.

Think about the stories they added Hornswaggle to....

He was Vince's son and he is now the anonymous general manager.

Both of these are stories which they literally had nothing for....they either lost their Option A and had no Option B, or they had no Option A to begin with.

They basically Hornswaggled the story. That's a new phrase....when you've got nothing left for a story, hornswaggle it.

Hornswaggle raised the cage to allow R-Truth and Miz to attack people at Hell In A Cell last year......he was playing in the control room again.

Edit: wait...I forgot what happened there....Hornswaggle snuck R-Truth and Miz into his home under the ring so they could attack people in the cage.
 
Kenny King leaves and they punish Rhett Titus too......I'm sure that is going over well in the locker room.

It's not really punishing him, the ANX is no more. I'm sure they'll have him pick a new partner for the tournament. Although, I always felt Rhett was somewhat protected by how over King was, don't get me wrong, he's improved a ton, but he'll need the right partner if they want him to continue as a face.
 
That's just low expectations, due to all the shit we've seen over the years.

Not really, the attitude era was full of kiddy nonsense like the New Age Outlaws and Kane.

And overexposure to any of the top stars makes them stale and shitty, it even happened to Rock and Austin. It's just that nowadays they have so few people that they treat as top stars so the problem is magnified.

Which they will rush through in 4 weeks and never make any deeper, because Punk still needs to sell his merchandise, so they can't really have him oppose Cena too much.

Okay? Punk's main antagonist in the feud last year wasn't Cena either, it was McMahon and the WWE management. Cena's role was as the flag bearer for a broken system. They're starting to hint at Punk feeling a need to challenge for dominance, whether his anger is directed at Cena or elsewhere remains to be seen.

EDIT: VVV I'd pop for the angle to take that direction VVV

If they're going to do an 8 team tournament, I'm sure they'll have to find him a partner because they don't have eight tag teams that I can think of.

YB's, Briscoes, WGTT, Rhett + friend, Disciples of Truth, Bravado Bros., Embassy?, and then I dunno some combination of an American Wolf and a Future Shock?

Maybe they'll bring in some outside talent. Spectral Envoy would be sweet.

These are the obvious ones I'd guess they will include;

. The Briscoes
. Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team
. Steen & Jacobs
. The Young Bucks
. Strong & Elgin
. The Bravado Brothers

Plus, they could always throw together random teams with guys like Rhett, Cole, Lethal, Whitmer, Ciampa, Bennett, etc, or maybe bring in a CHIKARA team - the Batiri posted this on twitter earlier; "@TheBatiri - Word around Bled Island is that @ringofhonor is having a tournament to crown their new tag team champions. Interesting...."

No way would Future Shock reform after that brutal match between Cole & O'Reilly at the last iPPV, and I guess I could see an American Wolves reformation now Davey & Eddie aren't really feuding, but it may be too soon.

Oh yeah, I meant like a team of O'Reilly + Davey or Cole + Edwards or vice versa. Not like any of those four have much else going for them at the moment.

So since wrestling sucks now I feel like watching some good PPVs from the past. Here's a few off the top of my head:

Wrestlemania 17
Money in the Bank 2011
Royal Rumble 2000
King of the Ring 1998
In Your House: Canadian Stampede 1997
Backlash 2000

I know there's other great ppvs. Anyone have any suggestions?

That doesn't sound like that positive of a post. I'm sticking to my end of the deal, so stick to yours.

That's right, this shit is serious business! *Mean grin*
 
Gtv= gold tv. Bam, mystery solved
We found the answer at the end of the rainbow.

Well on the WWE side of things
Fully Loaded 2000 (most 2000 ppvs were great for WWE, oddly WM was one of the weakest)
Wrestlemania 19, 20 and 24
Summerslam 2002
Vengeance 2005 (pretty solid for a Raw only outing)

Its funny that im seeing future shock in a ladder match for the pwg tag belts next saturday. Its gonna be so hype

Fire the models and let the remaining women actually wrestle matches longer then a minute. Can't get rid of ring rust if you don't get to wrestle more then once a month on TV and once every other week at house shows.

Though they did need to replace Dusty Rhodes, as far as I know he was training the divas before his firing. Maybe Del Rey didn't want to sign as a talent and get buried.

I read this a few times and was confused and then i realized you meant Dustin
 
I actually enjoy all the AJ Punk Bryan stuff because i know it will be over soon, its just a matter of time before Cena starts another reign of terror. Only reason i watch WWE anymore is for Punk. I enjoy watching his matches alot. WWE wont push anybody new for the rest of the year on RAW all spots are pretty much taken with Lesnar HHH and Rock. Ziggler is the only person i see maybe getting a shot on Smackdown but thats pretty much it.
