forehead7 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 When he was TNA champ, and that was a few years back, Foley was horrible in the ring. He's fucked. So a match with him and Taker now would be rotten. It would also be beyond doubt that Taker would win. And half the fans would probably have no clue who Foley is. Nah, he comes back enough that people still know who he is. They might not know why he's so big or being chanted or even why he sticks around but they'll know the face and the name. Everyone else has already covered what I'd say, no thanks to Taker/Foley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgarusQPFC Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Obviously HHH has wrestled again since anyway and will carry on as a COO type character for years, but I felt last year was the perfect send-off for all three involved. I hope Taker never wrestles again to be honest, that shot of the three of them at the top of the ramp is a fine way to go out. I couldnt agree more, 3 of the biggest names in Wrestling standing together celebrating undertakers 20-0 Streak? Couldnt think of a better send off 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 WWE's website has an article up on the new WWE Title belt. They revealed that Paul Teutul Sr. of Orange County Choppers fame made the belt from a concept the WWE creative team had.Orange County Choppers had help from famed wrestling belt maker Dave Millican.WWE says that 18 months ago, it was decided they wanted to get rid of the spinner belt and WWE’s Senior Vice President of Creative Services Stan Stanski had to come up with a new design.They talked ideas such as using a red leather strap and even having the title with door hinges on both sides.Stanski said:"Our idea was never to take a step back or do something predictable or expected. We wanted to evolve the brand and create something that’s never been done before. You don’t always know what a traditional title might represent. We wanted you to know immediately that this was the WWE Championship."The article notes that WWE wants this title belt to stick around for a long time. More than $50,000 went into making the belt and it was mentioned that they had planned to unveil it at WrestleMania 28 but that obviously didn't happen. One of the earlier designs had a massive, 3D eagle that grasped the central WWE logo with its talons. Holy f**k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was perfect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Gary Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Foley cant ever fight again, thats from his specialist. Pretty sure Foley's working with DDP just now as well. They said he'd never wrestle again too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 DDP hasn't wrestled since that run with TNA, which was his first appearances since the neck problems really took over. He's made the odd appearance here or there, but he's not actually wrestled a match since then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEY_SIDNEY Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Supposedly Foley falls into same bracket as Edge. Its a straight no chance ever again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Supposedly Foley falls into same bracket as Edge. Its a straight no chance ever again. No surprise. Foley was doing mental shit since the very early 90s, before Edge was even a wrestler. Surprised he can still move, cos he's taken some frightening bumps. There's one he mentions in first book where Vader powerbombs him on the concrete and he loses all feelings in his limbs for a couple of minutes, and that was just a shitey angle for a crappy WCW show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets be honest, every match foley had he was either hit with a chair or had something done to him. Anyone read the interview about when he got thrown off the cell roof by taker? Apparently baclstage vince begged him to never do something as mad as that again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye he mentions that in his book as well. A mental, mental man, yet one of the most intelligent wrestlers ever! How can a guy that mental write 4 books (not including his childrens books?). Some of the shit he did in front of just 30 people is breathtakingly dumb, and the shit he did in Japan is masochistic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen any of his Japan stuff, but heard he was getting thrown through barbed wire ropes onto glass etc. or was that just ecw? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keynesian Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Decent episode this week The Punk v Cena match to face Dwayne could be dragged out another week yet- say we get the dodgy, e.g.double count-out finish next week, a rematch the following week (maybe with a stipulation, e.g. steel cage) could be declared, allowing Taker another week to determine his fitness Interested to see what they do with Mark Henry- he can't squash Sin Cara every week Expect to see a "USA, USA!" tag team of Swagger and Cesaro sometime before Mania. Only Jim Traynor can come close to Swagger these days when it comes to spewing out buzz phrases that appeal to Sevconians Surprised we saw the Y2J, Sheamus & Ryback v The Shield match this week- when they started that promo, my thoughts were more that it would be a good Mania match- would certainly have made good use of 3 guys currently without an obvious match Skipped through the Brodus Clay & Ten Pies match- seriously bored of both Edited February 20, 2013 by Keynesian 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Mark Henry's title run was doing good business by Smackdown standards. Have ADR go through Swagger, and then let Mark Henry and him fued over there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parscelona Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Swagger's screwed TMZ.com reported that Jake Hager aka Jack Swagger, was arrested last night after the TV tapings in Biloxi and charged with speeding, a DUI and possession of marijuana. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Two things must come from this. 1) Dirty Dutch sticks around. 2) Jack Swagger doesn't. This is the admired result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
