Chavo Guerrero fired for winning a match

Chavo Guerrero returns and wins the Royal Rumble. He goes on to defeat John Cena and Randy Orton at Wrestlemania to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Rey and Vicky come out and hug him near the entrance ramp. A giant poster of Eddie Guerrero is revealed followed by fireworks and confetti.

Ouch at the ladder spot during Impact's main event.

It would be fucking awesome. He'd still be a liar because he said he didn't like fake retirements. I'm sure he'd feel more awful about going back on his word than anybody else, so he shouldn't get much flack.

.....Oh Chavo. smh

"J-E-double F, haha! J-A-double R-E-double-T!"

Top 3 things from this

1) Matt becoming a better bowler by adopting the "Twinkle-Toes Flinstone" style.

2) At one point, Team Nerdist team was playing with the Voltron yellow lion, and AJ was jealously watching them do so.

3) Johnny Curtis ass slap of luck... all that was missing was a couple of people yelling "STUNT COCK!"

Also, I would love a .gif of Kofi screaming "NACHOOOOOS!!!"

Kurt Angle NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://i.imgur.com/VydGp.gif

From the front page:

While I agree that Roman Reigns will be a big deal, I started laughing when I read that Punk will never get past the size and look issue.... I'm pretty sure they let him hold the strap for a year

Did you fellow posters enjoy that .gif I laid here around 9:13 a.m.?

I hope so, it was my way of saying, hey, Kurt Angle can do it, why can't we and stuff?

:lol:

Some of the stuff posted on the dirt sheets is fucking ridiculous.

Shawn Michaels vs. Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania XXX would be fucking amazing and should be done, however.

I wonder what is next for Chavo? I could see the WWE giving him another crack. I doubt he'll win a World Title or anything like that, but I could see him in a tag team or as a henchman for The Authority. Maybe he could be a trainer in NXT and occasionally work down there, ala William Regal.

It's no secret I have a fan-man-crush on Dean Ambrose. Time to share.

Here's Ambrose responding to what I assume was the six-man tag team loss to Christian & The Usos around Money in the Bank time:

Here's a very Loose Cannon-esque one:

I want The Shield to stay together forever, but if they do split, I am very much looking forward to the magic Dean Ambrose will work on the mic. I think he'll be the friction that makes the feud really interesting and kicks it up before the pay-off.

That they don't let face Christian talk is one of the weirdest things in professional wrestling. I think Captain Charisma could get so much momentum if he were allowed to. We might actually get more insight into his motivations and thought-processes. People might actually connect to him as a character.

Since we haven't really seen Christian since The Shield took him out, it would make sense for him to go right back after them -- perhaps specifically Dean Ambrose and his United States Title. That would be a tremendous WrestleMania opener. Yet I don't really want to see it, just because I know that Christian probably wouldn't cut promos and he'd just show "fighting spirit."

Ambrose calling Christian old and deluded, bringing up his failures and how he was never as good as Edge would be great fuel. Ambrose could talk about how The Shield could take him out any time they wanted, but he doesn't even think Christian is worth that. He is letting Christian get into the ring with him healthy so he can use him as a stepping stone and go 2-0 at WrestleMania. Christian can retort with his time in this business and the legends he's shared a ring and locker-room with. He can say that Ambrose is very good and a fantastic champion, but he's arrogant like he used to be and thought the world was coming his way, and he wishes that a young him had a veteran like he is now to slap him in the face and tell him to wake up to himself -- injuries happen and careers can end any night you are in this ring, the time to cement legacies is now. Christian could say that he's never been seen as a "dangerous guy" despite innovating some of the most barbaric matches in WWE history. That's the Christian Dean Ambrose is going to get at WrestleMania. That's the Christian that wants payback for sitting on the shelf for months and questioning whether or not that's it for him. That's the Christian that is going to use all his knowledge over his storied career to hurt Ambrose and wake him up by taking his title.

CAMACHOOOOOOOO!

CAMACHOOOOO!!!

WWE.com usually does well with this feature every year. Put on a lot of matches that "commoners" would not consider "big" matches.

Awesome list.

WHY DOES BRAY WYATT LIGHT THE LANTERN ONLY TO IMMEDIATELY BLOW IT OUT?!!

Seems like a waste of a fancy long-stick match.

This has bothered me since day one. I'd like it if he had the lantern already lit and then blew it out.

I'm not sure what the plans for Bray Wyatt come WrestleMania are, but wouldn't it be great if The Rock returned and was cutting a promo in the ring and then everything went glitchy and Bray Wyatt announced that "We're here." The lights come back on and The Rock is laying with Harper and Rowan standing over him.

Bray Wyatt then spends the next few weeks claiming that The Rock is as false as the Hollywood land he inhabits. I get the feeling that The Rock may not be wrestling at the PPV this year, but The Usos could stand up for The Rock, being family and all, and take the fight to Harper and Rowan for the Tag Titles or something.

I've been saying the opposite. Don't have him blow it out at all. That way it is like "WHOA SH*T! HE JUST LIT THAT LANTERN AND NOW THEY ARE IN THE ARENA AND IT IS STILL LIT!!!!"

That would work too, but I like the atmosphere the blow creates. The darkness.

I had no clue Robbie Brookside worked for the WWE now...

Should join the Real Americans

http://i.imgur.com/IHfgXw6.gif

That would be tremendous.

not as the swagger soaring eagle, but as Kerwin White

No. He HAS to be the Soaring Eagle.

I MUST watch that.

Art Barr seemed to get the business. I actually don't know the story behind him and Eddie Guerrero, or who was really the brains behind their amazing gimmick in Mexico, but they seemed to just get professional wrestling.

On the topic of the Guerreros, I could actually see Chavo returning as Kerwin White. The gimmick was sort of stuck on Heat most of the time, but it was just really starting when Eddie died and they figured it best to abandon it. But Chavo was never the guy they were going to have win the 2006 Royal Rumble anyway.

That being said, I'd like it if Vickie Guerrero brought Chavo back and have him some opportunities. The story can be that Chavo left the WWE to get some extra training and come back better than ever. The WWE like having top Hispanic stars, so while they are trying to build Sin Cara, Kalisto and/or Ricardo Rodriguez, or whatever, you can see how Chavo goes as "Hey! That guy's back! Wow, he's gotten really good!" I'm not saying put the World Title on him, or anything, but having him wrestle Alberto Del Rio at two PPVs wouldn't be too much of a stretch.

I like it.

One of the big issues with Art was that he also seemed to GET underaged girls. That's one of the things that killed his run as the Juicer in WCW. Well, that and he was the Juicer.

I know there isn't much support for independent wrestling around these parts, but I just found out today that Johnny Gargano has been the Open the Freedom Gate Champion in Dragon Gate USA (booked by Gabe Sapolsky who booked Ring of Honor back when it was everybody's darling) for like two years. I haven't followed the promotion or anything, but I think that's kind of cool. Long title reigns like that aren't really done these days, and it must get tempting as a booker to switch the title to a new fresh face to keep things interesting. I admire what I believe Gabe is trying to do, and that's create a buzz for Gargano and for the eventual title change, while also giving fans of professional wrestling who like long title reigns exactly what they want.

Oh, well that's not okay. Everyone knows you need to be a musician to get away with the young girls thing.

Damn it, now Kerwin White's theme is stuck in my head.

All 3 of the Shield were on the Onnit podcast, host was completely baffled by the concept of a deathmatch and why the hell Ambrose would do those, while Reigns was being magnificent.

I completely missed a mini Drew face run?

I think he was mainly appearing in NXT at the time and he was getting cheered there because he was feuding with Bo Dallas. Apparently this match happened the same week 3MB formed on Smackdown, so in canon it was a random one night only face turn I guess.

Like a wise man once said, "you've gotta move with the movement or it's moving without you"

such a great angle here with Butch Reed turning face

General Skandor Akbar made Buddy Landel a member of Devastation Incorporated on the basis he could get Butch Reed to join.

Reed however wanted no part of the nefarious Akbar and turns against Landel and Akbar

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/2xOcCYCFnrk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

From memory, Drew just randomly worked that match as a face. It was also taped the same week as 3MB formed on SmackDown.

I think I botched my comment in the rep I sent you, but thanks for that. Cool info. :y:

Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins would make great NXT Tag Team Champions. Kind of want to see them feud with The Ascension.

I've heard a little bit of a buzz about New Japan Pro Wrestling lately. Apparently they've been putting on good shows and the like. Anyone else follow them? If I were to try and get into them, what would be the best way to go about it? Here is the card for their upcoming show:

* Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Tomoaki Honma, Captain New Japan & Bushi vs. Tiger Mask Jushin Liger, Manabu Nakanishi, Super Strong Machine


* Hirooki Goto vs. Katsuyori Shibata

* Kazushi Sakuraba and Yuji Nagata vs. Rolles and Daniel Gracie

* Toru Yano and The Great Muta vs. Minoru Suzuki & Shelton Benjamin

* King of Destroyers Match: Bad Luck Fale vs. Togi Makabe (match can only end via knockout, TKO or submission)

* NWA Title Match: Rob Conway © vs. Satoshi Kojima

* IWGP Tag Team Title Match: Davey Boy Smith Jr. & Lance Archer © vs. Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows

* IWGP Junior Tag Team Title Match: The Young Bucks © vs. Alex Shelley & KUSHIDA vs. Alex Koslov & Rocky Romero vs. Taichi & TAKA Michinoku

* IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title Match: Prince Devitt © vs. Kota Ibushi

* IWGP Heavyweight Title Match: Kazuchika Okada © vs. Tetsuya Naito

* IWGP Intercontinental Title Match: Shinsuke Nakamura © vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi

I was thinking a few months back that if the NWA wanted its World Title to mean something again, they should put the title on Matt Morgan and have him go on a tear forever.

NJPW was trying to push Naito as their new golden star, but the crowd is still all about Tanahashi. They did a poll to see who the fans would rather see close the show, and they voted for the Intercontinental match.

Also, Davey Boy is awesome over there now, he seems to have found himself.

Luke Gallows/Doc/whatever you wanna call him teaming with Karl Anderson....that should be a sick match vs Killer Elite Squad.

Muta is still working?

wow you would think his body would be pretty shot by now.

Huge E Nagata as Sciavone would say

That is interesting. I wonder if Tanahashi takes the IC Title in that match? I think it's meant to be one of their biggest ones, so that would make sense.

I always enjoyed David Hart Smith in the WWE. I think he struggled getting his personality across and seemed to not work well with restraints, but I'm sure he would be tearing it up in Japan. I'd be interested to see his team with Lance Archer. I had heard they were the NWA World Tag Team Champions, but I just read that they lost the titles to Rob Conway & Jax Dane. That means Conway is now the NWA World Heavyweight Champion and an NWA World Tag Team Champion at the same time. Good for him.

Luke Gallows is going to get so good working over in Japan. I can see the WWE giving him another crack in a year or two.

As a youth I always liked the "international" feel of WCW. You had all these seemingly random Mexicans/Spanish/Latino rasslers who would feud with each other, and some Japanese dudes who would feud with each other.... they were never the main focus of the show or anything, but they were always good for "something different".

Regal shirts make me happy.

<object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/9_zuBFGMc38?version=3&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/9_zuBFGMc38?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

Well, that and NXT is its own thing, even without the pre-taped "timing" issues. (Such as Seth Rollins being not only a face, but the top face of NXT and still debuting in full WWE as a heel). Big E Langston was a (pretty popular) face anytime he was on NXT as well, but was "the heavy" for Dolph Ziggler and AJ, making him a de facto heel on WWE TV (and also why his "I Need Five" theme makes no sense without the context of his NXT 5 count gimmick). Even after 3MB appeared on NXT, Drew still got cheers.

NXT is a strange microcosm. WWE cannon can bleed into it, but NXT cannon generally doesn't bleed into WWE (unless someone at the booth comments that they were "called up"). The only exception to this seems to be The Wyatt Family. They've pretty much remained as they were from NXT completly intact.

Everyone on this forum is making WrestleMania predictions without the fucking Lesnar factor.

I like it. This could be a really good show this year.

I was watching this as Rey Mysterio's WCW theme played. Eerie.

still one of the greatest promos of all time imo.

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/CxC3oAD1iUg?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

This is the backstory to the promo

-Crockett Promotions in the mid 80s just blew away what the WWF was doing imho.

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/x2Bv3ZjgvpE?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Although I haven't watched Total Divas in a while, I find Eva Marie to be extremely fake, untalented and bitchy. Is she playing a character or is she just shallow?

That segment on Raw where she slapped Lawler leads me to believe that they were really trying to just push it as a stereotypical reality show character.

She is absolutely horrible and untalented though.

I kept up with Total Divas. It was like a train wreck that I couldn't look away from.

Eva Marie definitely seems dumb and shallow, but it was also definitely constructed to be even more so by the show producers/editors.

Would make sense considering that was the only reason her and Jojo got hired to begin with to act as reality stars than actual Divas wrestlers.

The amazing part is the WWE sees a lot more potential value in Jojo than Eva which is why they pulled her from the show in favor of getting her actual Divas development training at NXT.

Yeah, I noticed that JoJo pretty much became non-existant in the second part of the show.

Where's that gif of Eva Marie selling like shit?

AFAIK, Seth Rollins is the only guy who's been called up to the main roster who got an actual heel reaction when he returned to NXT. Big E & the Wyatts all got cheered.

Had a dream that Emma and Paige debuted on the main roster as a "tag team", but they had both had their personalities removed and were generic smiling and waving divas. Paige was wearing a bright neon blue one-piece singlet/gear.

thanks for giving WWE Creative an idea, Lock Jaw :roll: :shifty:

Eric Young is awesome.

Zema Ion, also awesome.

Gunner, not so much.

I know I don't normally give my opinion on TNA wrestlers, but EC3 is kinda awesome. Also, Sting is a really good promo, and I think their program could turn out to be way better than I could have imagined.
