Wrestling thread

There have always been wrestlers around like that though, haven't there? I remember when Hogan was getting beat down by the guy with the Iraqi flag (forgotten his name), only to make a miraculous comeback.

Sgt Slaughter?

Yeah, Cena is similar to Hogan in the way he is booked. Hogan would get beat up but then hulk up towards the end and destroy his opponents. But, back then, wrestling wasn't on TV as often as it is these days. Watching the same thing week after week gets boring and hence we get the Cena sucks chant.

Cena turning a heel??

Cena isn't going to turn heel until WWE finds a new guy who can be the face of the company and sell loads of merchandise.

Iron Sheik?

Have to agree with the rest about the story in RAW at the moment. Can't wait for Triple H to return and Kane and Undertaker's feud should be interesting in the next few weeks.

Is Chris Masters still part of the WWE? His entrance was epic. The MASTERPIECE.

No, not Sgt Slaugher - he was (and is) and American patriot! Imagine him carrying an Iraqi flag!!!!! No, I think he had battles with the Iraqi flag guy (Iron Sheik, thanks Psychic).

Yes that's the one, cheers. WWE is crying out for the return of Triple H, preferably as a solo fighter. He was fun in DX and all, but he was at his best on his own - and as a bad guy. Remember when Eugene cost him the title against Benoit? He went absolutely ape the following night!

Yes, he was getting to be a really funny guy as well - much better as a good guy. No idea what's happened to him.

He also was an Iraqi sympathiser during his heel turn. YouTube - WWE Classics - Hulk Hogan vs Sgt. Slaughter - March 24th 1991

He is a part of the Smackdown roster but he's hardly on Smackdown. He's main eventing on WWE Superstars these days. He doesn't have that awesome entrance anymore.

Triple H tends to go ape whenever someone costs him the title last time. :laugh And I still remember the RAW episode where he returns and hammered Orton like an animal. That was Triple H in one of his best moments! :hpraise

From what I've read, they are planning to make Triple H return at the end of this year or early next year. I hope it's sooner rather than later. And since Triple H will be returning in the future, I think they need to move one or two big superstars out from RAW to Smackdown. Otherwise, I feel it will get too crowded with Cena, Orton, Edge, Nexus etc.

Also, is WWE serious on letting Jericho go again if he does not win the title at NOC?

 

[shantanu_rooney]

Yeah there are rumours that Edge might move to Smackdown and Jericho will leave WWE for some time.

Randy Orton to win at the Night of Champions?

Sorry to change the topic, but can someone answer some questions?

In WWE, are Diesel and Kevin Nash the same?
And was Diesel the masked Kane also?

Yep to all you questions.

Yep to all you questions.

And who was the guy behind the mask in the battle between masked Kane and bald Kane?

Rahul is wrong about Kane, but yes Diesel is also called Kevin Nash. Kane (Glenn Jacobs) has always been Kane. When Kane got rid of his mask that was still him, and the imposter who came along was Luke Gallows (formerly Festus).

This is what I have heard at most places while searching it on Google. Still, I cannot believe its Luke Gallows (Festus) who was the imposter Kane. And the stories of Kevin Nash, Diesel and Masked Kane being the same are also famous.

BTW, who is Rahul!
Did you mean shantanu_rooney?
