WWE Raw & Smackdown Weekly Thread

[thegr81ne]

I like the idea of the wrestlers logo being on the sides, but I still think a nameplate is more deserving. The different logo plates almost seems like a marketing tool for when they sell replica belts you can buy which superstar's logo you want to adorn it

Basically, At least there's a Generic Set of side plates for the belt right now.

One thing I do like about it is that the Diamonds around the Center Plate make the shape of a (5-Sided) Wrestling Ring, Other than that, It really does look like a Super Bowl Championship Ring. Maybe it could've used something like the Global design behind the WWE logo...Kinda like the older championships.

Well This cant be good for WrestleMania (Or Jack's Main Event Push.)

WWE star Jack Swagger was arrested last night in Mississippi, TMZ has learned -- after allegedly driving under the influence ... with pot in his car.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ, Swagger -- real name Jacob Hager -- was leaving a "Smackdown" taping at Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi when he was pulled over for speeding.

According to law enforcement, the officer who pulled him over determined Swagger was driving under the influence -- and a search revealed Swagger was in possession of marijuana.

We're told Swagger -- a former WWE World Heavyweight champ -- was taken in by local police officers ... and later released on his own recognizance.

He has been charged with DUI (not alcohol), marijuana possession, and speeding -- all misdemeanors.

We reached out to WWE, who tells TMZ, "Mr. Swagger is responsible for his own personal actions."

Damn. That sucks.
So that's what Zeb Colter had in those Walter Sobchak vest pockets.

But it says "DUI (not alcohol)". Very strange, because any pot smokers I've known tend to drive extra carefully when high, intently obeying the speed limit, maybe 5 or 10 under if really high. I couldn't imagine speeding if only marijuana had hand here. He might've been on something else at the time that was not found. Then again, I'm not an expert and shouldn't speculate.

Best of luck, Jack Schwagger.

cant wait to see how the WWE is gonna "fix" this WM world championship match.

I still say the best belt is the winged eagle one that they had.

I think Jack Swagger's Job is safe (For now) - Because on the same day he got pulled for the DUI, Glenn Beck had some words for the WWE & Jack & Zeb's characters...

In Short, Glenn hates the fact that the WWE seems to be mocking the Tea Party & In the process, Insulted the WWE's fan base as well...WWE sent along this response, Inviting Glenn to Raw this Monday:

The above one is what they're probably gonna play on TV, This is the original Uncut version that was pulled, where they totally break character:

Glenn's already declined the offer, So I guess someone's getting Mocked Monday....

Oh & Speaking of Appearances, Guess who's Back as of last night!

 

[Moonchild22]

Awesome. I love Colter's/Swagger's response to that idiot Glenn Beck.

Typical Beck: Accuse something of appearing a certain way, and then accuse it of not appearing enough that way, reaching for the top shelf for comparisons with the snarky sarcasm. Beck believes that his opinion of a truth is, in itself, a truth.
"...So now they're tying racism, stupidity and guns together..." - So that is clearly none other than the Tea Party, huh?
Btw, when Glenn Beck begins a sentence with "I can't tell you how many times...", that's because it has never happened, or might've happened once.

You knew Glenn Beck would be too spineless to show up at a WWE event. He can only give his opinions behind the safety of his own show.

No surprise to see The Undertaker returning. Wrestlemania's almost here.
Just like Santa's appearance at the end of the Thanksgiving Day parade kicks off the Christmas season, Undertaker's appearance means Wrestlemanis season. (Ho...ho.....ho - [GONG!])

The question is, who is he facing? I'd love to see Taker vs Kane one more time, but Kane couldn't face Taker in the happy-horseshit condition his character is in now, and there's not enough time to change it properly for the event. Part of me fears it can be Triple H again or HBK again.
I'll have to guess Taker/CM Punk, since it looks like Rock/Cena for the title. Taker's in no shape to handle Lesnar...but when has that ever stopped the storyline? I'll still predict - though I hate to make predictions - The Undertaker vs CM Punk.

Haha! I just had an image in my head of Paul Heyman and Paul Bearer. Two excitable, round fatties...and both named Paul.

 

[darkwarrior3007]

It's been looking like it's Taker/Punk for quite a while now.

 

[Moonchild22]

Yeah, I'm just a big dumbass then.
Wow! A blue car! Oh, you guys couldn't see it. I forgot. Well, there was...a car...and, uh...yeah.

i said to my friend last night, i think the vince v heyman match is going to get to the point where vince is getting ready to pummel heyman and brock lesnar music hits.... brock heads to the ring to get at vince again and as he gets to the ring.....duh...duh duh.....TIME TO PLAY THE GAMEEEEEAAAA hahahahhahaha.... HHH comes to save vince. my only issue is that vince is going to have a "fight" 3 weeks after hip surgery? that is why i think vince will get "saved" he isn't going to risk getting hurt so soon after surgery.

Punk looses to cena ,then complains on the mic that he was the champ for 439 whatever days and he should be in a match at WM ...as it stands since he lost to cena he is not in WM at all... and he SHOULD BE in WM....DESERVES TO be in WM.... he gets no respect by anyone in the company.........BONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! perfect setup to a taker v punk match but they are surely cutting it fucking real close on a (if my predictions happen) HHH v brock rematch - without much lead up to WM & Taker v Punk also without much lead up to WM.

Quite a departure from the last year, when the main event was decided a year prior.

I think it's a hilarious cliche when a wrestler is standing in the ring on Raw or Smackdown and makes that dramatic pointing gesture at the Wrestlemania banner. Some people think it's cool and heavy when it happens but I laugh. A couple of weeks ago, when Del Rio did it, I was hoping he accidentally pointed at a Disney On Ice banner. Oops.
"Ayma goween to- (points at banner)- see da Mickeee!...and'a da Goofy!"

I like when he challenges "Da Beakchew"

make sure everyone gives me credit for basically spoiling this for the WWE! :nanner:

how the fuck does Khali still get on tv? the guy can barely move,has quite possibly the most limited moves set of any wrestler ....EVER! and he was a past champ?!!!! HOW???? HOW the fuck was this guy taken seriously as a champion by the fans??

He's the WWE's ticket to the India market.

Great main event between CM Punk and John Cena. Really. THAT is WRESTLING.
Of course a lot of people are pissing and crying throughout the internet about no Taker. I have to be honest. I didn't miss him. That main event made up for his no-show (whatever the situation really is). With Triple H's return on Raw, I wonder if they're saving Undertaker for Smackdown.

 

[Jeep!]

That was, on Cena's part, some of the sloppiest shit I've ever seen inside a wrestling ring. How that guy is taken seriously I'll never know.

Thought it was Wrestlemania Caliber. Honestly, With a Bloody brawl w/ 2 Returns in under 10 Minutes of the show, A near 5-Star caliber match & good promos, We didnt even need Taker tonight. It's still six weeks to go, and we know he's coming. Punk already teased it using that "I Am God" Promo.

Oh, you mean like that hilaricanrana he did?
