Karan Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 The Taker streak at Mania is getting overplayed. They've got it to 20-0 now, why not just leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 The Taker streak at Mania is getting overplayed. They've got it to 20-0 now, why not just leave it at that. Money. In wrestling, you never, ever, ever, ever, ever cut the legs out from a cash cow. Ever. That is, until it stops being a cash cow. Then you send it out to pasture.

Karan Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yeah thats true I guess. The hardcore and casual fans will still be drawn in by that gimmick so I guess why not keep milking it till they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 The only other method by which Taker will stop is when he retires, for whatever reason. Until then, his gimmick will sell a WrestleMania card well into his fifties IMO (he's 47). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-ERIK- Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yea he can do one match a year for at least as few more yrs as long as he's willing to put his body through that and it seems like he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreaseCrusader91 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 CreaseCrusader or twentyseven I think likes Cesaro.I think he's getting better and better though.he just needs some better feuds. Miz I don't care for much and he's even worse as a face. Not I, I believe it is TwentySeven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please be taking IMPACT on the road full-time... http://rajah.com/node/32024 According to f4wonline.com, the announcement will be that TNA will be taking Impact Wrestling on the road in 2013. It's unknown at this point whether TNA will be giving up the Impact Zone or if they will still hold occasional Impact tapings there. I still haven't been able to get into TNA, mostly due to being unfamiliar with the storylines but seems like you got what you wanted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karan Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Lesnar F5ing McMahon last night was awesome and the only part of raw I enjoyed Heyman is brilliant on the mic Guess they're going for another Lesnar-Triple H feud culminating in a match at Mania.

Karan Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Not confirmed but he will be there and my guess is against Punk Looks like they are angling for a Taker vs. Punk matchup at Mania but seems like there's some serious doubts over Taker's health condition at the moment and whether or not he'll be able to go at Mania.

Phil Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 TNA IMPACT tonight is from Manchester, England. Worth checking out if you've ever been upset by watching TNA in the IMPACT Zone. http://www.impactwrestling.com/media/com_fpss/cache/558_4693ba70fe7ccf8c5461d5f42e16af89_m.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karan Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Man I miss Kurt Angle. Two of my favorite matches of all time were Angle vs. Benoit at WM17 and Angle vs. Lesnar at WM19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 What's to miss? Watch him in TNA. He's had some incredible matches there. Go watch Angle/Anderson from Lockdown 2010, Angle/Samoa Joe from Turning Point 2006, Angle/Samoa Joe from Lockdown 2008, Angle/AJ Styles from the January 4th, 2010 edition of IMPACT, etc. The list goes on and on.

twentyseven Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 http://rajah.com/node/32049 Maybe some bitterness from the Montreal screwjob but saying Triple H hasn't had a great match ever is kind of asinine. Dude had a great match at the last WM with Taker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twentyseven Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 btw Phil, there was a match on RAW that was pretty damn good that would probably catch your interest. Jericho vs Punk which was probably the best match on that show for months. I can't find the full match but here is a good bit of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvsbEuYtPNc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karan Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Yeah I was watching that live last night and was really impressed. Crowd really got into it. Lots of pops for both guys who went toe-to-toe the whole match. Lots of good moves, chemistry and momentum swings. It was almost PPV-worthy. Jericho's still got it!

Dude had a great match at the last WM with Taker. No, he didn't. That match was not "great" by any means. It was considered great because of the iconic figures in the ring. The match itself wasn't iconic, or great. I fully agree with Hart here. HHH is probably the most overrated wrestler in the last 20 years. Bar none.

He is quite the jerk backstage, yes but overrated? I personally don't think so. He is one of the best heels of all time. People loathed the guy and his mic work was great. He cut some real good promos in his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
