Pro Wrestling

Cena will never turn heel.....he's the Hulk Hogan of the new era with the whole, "eat your vitamins, drink your milk, and say your prayers" routine.

He's the image of good, and until he finally loses all credibility as a relevant star who can attract and draw, like what happened to Hogan when he turned all nWo, and Bret hart all anti-American, he'll remain the "hero".


Like I said I don't watch wrestling anymore, but I still watch the headlines as to what happens on the WWE website.

CM Punk turning heel is better for him; it suits his character more, and I think he draws more attention that way.

Is Brock coming back anytime soon?

brock was there last night

yeah but Cena isn't over as much as CM Punk. He will get applause from women and kids, but that's abut it. So at a lot of the shows, he tends to get half boos from the crowd or more.

^ Oh no doubt, 4sure about that.

But that's just it, CM Punk appeals to the same fans who would cheer for the Rock, Taker, or Stone Cold, or DX.

Cena appeals to the audiences of women and children the same way Rey Mysterio would, or how Hogan USED to back in the "Real American" days....

The fanbase is diverse in the wrestling world appealing to different demographs to get people interested.

Me personally? With the active roster right now, I'd only care to see Undertaker in a match, even Brock Lesnar depending on who it would be against; him and Big Show put on some sick matches back in the day. Orton and HHH are okay I guess too, but mind you witht he exception of Orton and CM Punk, the rest I mentioned are on a part-time basis now.

TNA ont he other hand have a few guys I'd tune in to watch, primarily RVD, and Kurt Angle for obvious reasons.

Wrestlings credibility has dropped due to the UFC, and by trying to get these new-wave backstreet boy-esque wrestlers who tan too much, and rock a speedo with absolutely no depth to their character is killoing them. WWE has destroyed the gimmicks that would make their industry interesting, they either go way overboard with a gimmick like Burchill doing the pirate gig, or they don't utilize it properly like the Hurricane persona (which I liked personally).

The creative team needs to step up, and stop appealing to the wrong audience, get on the ball mo'fucka, but then again what do I know? I'm not apart of a billion dollar industry who's apart of a creative team, I'm just a semi-former fan with an opinion.

WWE wrestler JTG vented on Twitter during Monday's Raw. "The camel's back just broke," JTG wrote. "I had enough of this. As a pro athlete, I'm tired of my locker room brothers being taken advantage of," JTG wrote. "Fans have no idea what we go through. Yeah, I said it. Nobody wants to speak up, everybody's afraid of losing their job of getting taken off TV." Follow him online at Twitter.com/Jtg1284

His run is over.

Have fun being "Future Endeavored".

Brock Lesnar gets into backstage altercation at WWe RAW

haha I missed most of Raw, but some people were saying that it looked like Ryback had pink eye, so I guess that's why. lol So Lesnar didn't get in trouble at all for it?

--Kevin Nash critical of C.M. Punk and Daniel Bryan


WWE legend Kevin Nash was critical of smaller wrestlers during a Grantland feature story. "When (Chris) Benoit and (Eddie) Guerrero hugged [at the end of WrestleMania XX], that was the end of the business," Nash said. "Has business been the same since that WrestleMania? Has it come close to the (Steve) Austin era? Has it come close to the NWO or the (Hulk) Hogan era?

You put two f---ing guys that were great workers that were the same height as the f---ing referees, and I'm sorry, man. Are you going to watch a porno movie with a guy with a three-inch dick? Even if you're not gay, you will not watch a porno movie with a guy with a three-inch dick. That's not the standard in porno films. So you put a 5-foot-7 guy as your world champion."

Nash expressed the same concerns regarding current WWE stars C.M. Punk and Daniel Bryan. ""They are not bigger than life," he said. "I bet they could both walk through airports and not be noticed unless they have a gimmick shirt on and the belt." To read the full story, go to Grantland.com/story/_/id/8241536/wrestling-star-kevin-nash-making-headway-hollywood-keeps-night.

Powell's POV: I've never understood Nash's take on this considering that his longtime friend Shawn Michaels was so successful. Nash has become friends with Punk, so it will be interesting to see whether Punk responds via Twitter. The story actually focusses on his movie career more so than his in-ring career and it's a good overall read.

no, I don't think so. like they said, I think it'll just get swept under the rug due to the fact Brock is drawing well, and SummerSlam is coming, and everyone wants to see him and HHH go at it.
