[Movie] WWE/TNA fanfiction thread

Hardy may very well be another one of those 'just near the tip of the mountain only to fall all the way back down'.

Funny though. If it wasn't for Matt STILL being out of it (man, Matt and MVP's feud may very well last a year thanks to the injury time by both men), it may have been BOTH Hardy's holding individial, gold, secondary to only the world titles.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Just a thought. Maybe they will keep the name "Hardy" in the MITB match. Everyone will wonder "What is going on?!" and then BOOM, it's a Hardy alright...MATT Hardy.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

In other unsurprising but still sad news, the cruiserweight title has officially become an inactive title and is retired. I still remember ten years ago when this title was red hot. NOw....ugh.

FELIPE NO

Cena can do more but they restrict him in order that he won't get injured as often. I mean, his last injury was pretty freak and other than that he hasn't hadn't any injuries since 2004 at the royal Rumble.

It's weird to think of Edge and Jericho as the "older generation". I think more of HBK and Taker but yet they are STILL around even when a few years back they were considered the "old generation".

Speaking of HBK, it's so strange that we are in teh final few weeks of Flair's career. I'm not his hugest fan but it's sad that it all may very well come to an end. It's funny too, as it was ten years ago at Mania 14 that HBK thought HIS career was ending due to his back injury.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

He got dumped over the ring by Big Show and landed badly on one of his feet. THey usually show it in the "Don't try this at home" things on their DVDs and such.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Nope, Big Show. It was to add fuel to their match-up at Mania.

Batista won the 2005 Royal Rumble. He had his showdown with Cena at the end including the aforementioned thing with McMahon.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

OUch, and Jeff's bad luck continues. Sadly, his entire house and everything he had burned down. The poor guy even lost his pet dog. While I know he made his own choices and all, still, poor guy...

How ya doing, buddy?

Spoiler:

Tag team division? The WWE has a tag team division? Oh, THAT tag team division. The one that on Raw only contains teams where individual wrestlers are put together. At least Smackdown! has something though although why the belts are on Nitro/Miz instead of the Edgeheads is beyond me.

BTW, Hurricane walked out on Rosey.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The sad thing about Jericho is he probably won't ever get the title again. Yeah, he'll come in sniffing distance and get title shots but he won't win the big one. That's not due to his own abilities but just from what we have seen since 2001.

I think Jeff's push is in dire straits. however, the WWE may be sympathetic due to what happened with his home. I just hope Jeff doesn't go nuts and becomes the next pro wrestling tragedy.

I was speaking idiomatically.

No, I take it as a sign Matt Hardy will win their year-long feud by winning the title.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Chavo got suspended twice?

The thing about Jeff is really unfortunate. It was amazing how high up he made it. I mean, he BEAT Triple H. He scored major pinfalls over the world champion, Randy Orton. He had the longest IC title reign since, Orton (I think). It stopped the push of Umaga. He was in line for a big feud with Jericho (although who the heel would have been is an interesting question given both men are super over). It's sad to say, but he may be like so many other guys who were just inches away from making it to that top spot. INCHES. Only to fall all the way back down.

FELIPE NO

I understand the logic of it all. For Robbie, I hate to say it, but he should have known better. Showing up for TNA's broadcast is surely going to entice them to show a WWE superstar at their show. Of course, that is pretty crappy by TNA to do that to a guy knowing full well it would probably end his run with WWE or at the very least have him be jobbed out.

The interesting thing is now the HOF. Jarrett already told them to not go to the HOF despite Flair being inducted. Now with this happening, it wouldn't surprise me if the WWE were to show some TNA stars during the HOF, so Jarrett, also knowing this, might become more forceful (termination of contracts, being jobbed out in the future, etc) if they don't listen.

It sounds like all the things that really made TNA stand out is now lost. THey already are seen as classless for what they did to Robbie, and if they stop TNA stars from seeing THE GUY WHO FOR MOST OF THEM WAS THEIR HERO/THE REASON THEY GOT INTO WRESTLING not get inducted into the HOF, TNA will only seem ten times worse. And the morale, save for Angle, Joe, and a few others will sink deeper than it already is.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I can't see how Vince can stop them if they bought a ticket. I doubt he'd want to get in trouble and have a case brought up against him and all (that he'd most likely lose).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So much for the DQ ending for Mayweather/Show:

The rules for the Floyd Mayweather vs. Big Show match at WrestleMania 24 this Sunday have been announced. The match has no rules and can end in a pin, submission or knockout.

I guess it will be a no-contest?

Looks like the WWE is keeping tight shift on making sure WWE and TNA stars don't socialize.

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Kevin Nash was telling many people that he was hanging out with WWE friends despite WWE telling its roster not to socialize with anyone from TNA this week. We are aware of reports of tons of WWE and TNA stars hanging out in the Orlando area, including Jeff Jarrett and John Laurinaitis spotted talking at the Orlando airport.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Spoiler:

I SO didn't see CM Punk taking MITB so he won't be cashing that in tonight unless they want to put him as the top dog on RAW

Then again, CM Punk and Orton would make a VERY interesting feud. But it probably won't happen even though I'm sure he'd be much more humble than Lesnar with a super fast push

Spoiler:

When you look at it, Punk was the best choice given 1) current suspensions, 2) humbleness, 3) momentum/popularity and 4) wrestling skill. I would have thought Kennedy would have won it but I guess the bad rap he got early in the year stopped that.

Thing is though, the MITB title shot has ALWAYS gotten a person to win the gold. Now, maybe Punk will use it for an ECW title shot to really raise the value of the ECW brand. I can't forsee Punk winning either of the two main brand titles. So that might mean that option 3, Punk losing the title shot, will occur.

Hm...

Spoiler:

Originally reports were that the Triple threat was going to be the main event. More than likely though, they either changed the ending so that Cena/Trips didn't win and (possibly) had to change the order of the matches (or perhaps they changed both) so that fans could go home happy with a face (Undertaker) winning.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well, guess Mania 24 wasn't all fun and games:

"
Here's another report on the situation, courtesy of ProWrestling.NET. They are also claiming that some sort of fireworks accident occurred at the end of the show. EMTs were reportedly called to the scene. One witness account is saying that a fireworks line broke and the spinning fireworks landed on some fans in the upper deck.
"

Supposedly some people who were there verified this. But ya know how rumors start. I guess we'll wait and see if this is true.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

So here is an article about the end-of-wrestlemania events. I won't paraphrase this one because I basically have already had what the article said in a previous post:

Fireworks injure dozens at Wrestlemania - Yahoo! News

Not the way to end their biggest eventof the year.

FELIPE NO

As was stated, Taker and McMahon came to the ring after the show ended.

Here is a link that shows what happened afterwards:

Bigupload.com - Ric Flair Raw Tribute After Raw Went Off The Air

It is really amazing that his career is finally over AND the WWE let him go out on a good note. Save for Trish Stratus, how many feel-good moments have they gave with wrestlers who have contributed so much?

I still think back to when I saw him in 94, and thought that his career was over (he had that career Vs career with Hogan and lost). Of course he came back, which I was happy for as they showed a video of his career up to that point and I felt I was missing out. I'm glad that I was able to see roughly the latter half of his career.

Ultimately, I forsee Flair coming on occasionly for T.V. appearances. I don't forsee him becoming the GM again, a manager, or an announcer. Then again, this will truly be a test for Flair because this is truly the first time he will be gone from wrestling. Yes, he was gone for a few months last year to sort things out, and yes his last few months have been mainly T.V. appearances, and yes he has been out up to a year with previous injuries (albeit it was when he was much younger and had more 'energy' that made it hard for him to just sit around), but this will be the first time that he is truly away from it.

I do forsee the possibility of him coming back for one match. If he does, it will be Mania 25. Dunno who'd he face. Maybe Michaels in a rematch if Michaels did a heel turn (unlikely, I forsee Batista doing so). Maybe Triple H as Trips was the other guy Flair would have liked to have ended his career with. Sorta a way for him to do both. And that would be good for Trips as it would show that he is letting the future talent step up as he steps aside from the Mania main event which he has been apart of for the last several years since Mania 20 (excluding last years due to his injury).

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Well, I have heard they are making a Starcade Anthology/DVD box set or something like that.

The Flair/Steamboat match is actually on the Ric Flair DVD. A fun match to watch.

Some other fun matches with Flair would be:
Flair Vs Savage (WCW battles, especially in Jan/Feb 2006 where the title bounced between them), Flair Vs Undertaker (Mania 18 I believe), Flair Vs Triple H (2003), Flair Vs Edge: TLC, Flair Vs Angle, Flair Vs Windham (Clash of Champions).

There are, of course, several others but those matches are fun to watch. Seeing him against Angle, Edge, and Trips were all awesome because it showed Flair could really go when he needed to.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So the cycle continues. What was it? 99? 2000 that they tried this angle then put it to rest a few weeks later? At least this time the angle lasted a few WEEKS before (thankfully) ending.

Given that the fans reminded him repeatedly about his pirate gimmick, you'd think it would be in the WWE's best interests to bring him back as that character.

Oh, and I am taking it that if this be the case, we won't be seeing any 'heelish Cena raps' from 2003 anytime soon.

Most amazing jew boots

Don't worry, they will be back. HIs manager will be his 'girlfriend' and he'll say, "My name is 'Frad'", and he'll wear drunks with a smiling pirate on them.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

That would be cool except 1) the ECW brand is basically a failure, 2) they don't have any shows to showcase WCW, 3) Bischoff seems to be long gone. I suppose if they change Smackdown! to Friday Night Nitro, that might work. However, given how wellthey used ECW, well...you get the idea.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I think three is plentiful. They seriously don't have any more time to properly build another brand. Heck, they BARELY are able to build the ECW brand with the time slot they had before such that they had to start 1) using Smackdown! when it looked like the ECW timeslot would disappear, and 2) use the Internet for a few short weeks (I think? I might be confusing them with TNA who I know did that).
