The Wrestling Thread

Anyone want some news? OK THEN

Sin Cara, or the character, will be back despite failing a drug test. The person behind the mask, Mistico, won't be playing the role for another few weeks. Instead, someone from developmental (Hunico) will be doing the role as the WWE feel the Sin Cara character is a valuable merchandising asset to the under 5s.

Mick Foley is expected to wrestle at next year's Wrestlemania. Foley was at the Smackdown tapings a fortnight ago and is set to sign in September when his contract with TNA expires.

Senior WWE officials are having doubts over whether John Cena and The Rock is a viable match for next year's Wrestlemania. The main doubts linger over John Cena's character development and how he would be received should he win in Rock's home town.

Melina, Gail Kim, DH Smith, Chris Masters and Koslov were all released from WWE on Friday. In a classic DUH moment from WWE, Melina was chosen as the Diva Focus on the website.

Money in the Bank PPV has reportedly done around 150k domestic based on projections, which isn't good news. Official figures will be released later this month.

Colt Cabana had a dark match on Smackdown this week. He lost to Wade Barrett. It's a step closer to Cabana being re-signed by the WWE.

Why would Cena beat The Rock
I hope he doesn't beat Punk at SummerSlam unless he turns heel in the process...

Any idea what they are planning on doing with Rocky at Survivor Series?

All the little jimmy's will be happy

Mick Foley is expected to wrestle at next year's Wrestlemania. Foley was at the Smackdown tapings a fortnight ago and is set to sign in September when his contract with TNA expires.

Are they just going to bring back all the people Punk mentioned?

Will John Morrison follow his misses?

Colt Cabana had a dark match on Smackdown this week. He lost to Wade Barrett. It's a step closer to Cabana being re-signed by the WWE.

I don't know who he is except that he trended worldwide after Punk mentioned him in his rant. Would he get involved with Punk i.e. his new sidekick?

mick foley wwe scraping the bottom of the barrel again......might as well bring hulk hogan and rick flair back again

In traditional booking, it makes sense to make Cena go over Rock because Rock's credibility won't be hurt as he isn't a full time wrestler, he has a good reputation, Cena needs the respect from the fans and also you don't want your number one guy to lose to a part time wrestler - he would look weak.

The idea is still Rock v Cena and I'm guessing some sort of confrontation. Vince in a conference call said that The Rock has signed up for a multi PPV deal in the lead up for Wrestlemania, so expect Survivor Series to be the start of things.

Are they just going to bring back all the people Punk mentioned?

The names that have been mentioned have some connection to the WWE anyway. He mentioned Foley, Lesnar is doing a toy/game deal with WWE, Batista's said how he would come back one more time so no harm in mentioning him, Jericho will come back possibly after his tour with Fozzy.

Will John Morrison follow his misses?

He'd be as dumb as Melina if he did.

I don't know who he is except that he trended worldwide after Punk mentioned him in his rant. Would he get involved with Punk i.e. his new sidekick?

Colt Cabana is one of the bigger indie workers at the moment. He's worked in the UK before, toured with Danielson and lives with Punk. It would be a good idea to bring him in with Punk along with the Kings of Wrestling and perhaps Tyler Black, who's in developmental as well to form a faction against Triple H and the corporation. That's just me doing fantasy booking, there's been little mention as to how these guys will get introduced.

What about the Macho Man vs Ultimate Warrior career ending match at Wrestlemania 7 then?

They'll RIOT if Cena turn over Rocky in Miami?!!

Punk v Y2J at Mania needs to happen

[MrShawnMichaels]

Talk about a classic

[Jayesh87]

Decent build-up for SummerSlam on RAW...
They just need to give Punk the mic for 2 hours

They finally showed that Rocky YouTube clip.

I wonder what Christian's announcement on Smackdown will be?

[Jayesh87]

Predictions for tonight?

Sheamus v Henry
Kelly Kelly v Beth Phoenix
Christian v Ortan
CM Punk v Cena

The obvious result for the Punk/Cena would be for HHH to screw Punk over but i think they'll be a twist somehow and they'll still be two wwe champions

[MrShawnMichaels]

Daniel Bryan v Wade Barrett is also confirmed.

For Punk to be fully over with the fans, he has to beat Cena. It won't be clean because WWE don't book that way and also Triple H is the special guest referee. I wouldn't be surprised to see Punk taunt HHH, HHH swings, misses Punk and hits Cena with something and Punk gets the win.

[MrShawnMichaels]

I got the result right but the overall picture wasn't correct. My buddy Big Kev done some damage.
