WWE Fans

Orton is awesome. It was like old times with him being all slow, so maybe that is another sign of a heel turn, it did cost him, maybe he can say he was waiting for a better time.. It is definitely coming now ( more than it was the last 15 times ) in old times the two rko's would have been the heel turn, but things are fucked up, so probably not.

I think Daniel Bryan is leaving Summerslam as WWE champion. Brock Lesnar is going to win as well ( some guarantees for the prediction contest, or are they? )

in the back of my mind I'm thinking maybe Summerslam is the perfect time for Orton to cash in, but my support for Bryan is too strong to make me think he will lose.

I'm too confident

WWE.com just announced that an MRI shows that Sheamus suffered a torn labrum in his left shoulder during the All Stars Money In The Bank ladder match last month. The injury was aggravated after he continued to work. He noticed it getting worse during the just completed tour of South Africa.

He will have arthroscopic surgery next week and is expected to be out four to six months. He noted that it will be the first surgery.

Sheamus appeared on PWInsiderTV just a few days before the Money in the Bank match and discussed the risk involved in dangerous matches such as MITB and The Elimination Chamber as well as the mental and physical toll such matches take on talents

Somebody should give him a beating to write him off.

Be good for him in a way. He is one of the most stale guys around.

4-6 months is a longtime to grow a beard. Sheamus comes back and looks totally different. they change his hair, and beard color to pure white, this is really noticeable because he has spent that long under the sunbed. By this time Daniel Bryan has shaved his beard ( this makes Shamus beard be the most talked about beard in town)

Sheamus is now a wizard. I could get behind something like this because it is different. Sheamus hasn't really changed anything in ten years ( that is how long it feels) he has done the most important things like win titles, but he hasn't shown his full potential. He does have the sort of personality that could be this Wizard character I'm thinking of. Ryback couldn't do this. I reckon Sheamus would pull it off without a problem.

The Gimmick would be to the next decade what The Undertaker was to 1990-2000.

I don't see them putting the belt on Bryan. What purpose is served? He is not going to sell more tickets or merchandise then Cena. Cena only won the belt a few months back. IMHO if they are gonna take the belt off of Cena it will be because some monster comes along and kills Cena or they want to put it on a heel so another face can beat them at next year's WM. Most likely they will have a nonfinish and continue this fued for another PPV or three.

If Bryan were to turn heel to win the PPV that might happen or Cena and Bryan beat the tar out of each other and Bryan wins only to have the MITB person cash in and Bryan's title run lasts a few minutes. They could get mileage out of that and evolve Bryan's character farther. I just can't see how giving the title to Bryan helps the WWE right now.

I forgot to mention that the duo once known as Team Rhodes Scholars (Cody Rhodes & "Sir Money In The Bank" Damien Sandow) faces off against themselves and Kane takes on Bray Wyatt of the Wyatt Family in a "Ring Of Fire" Match at SummerSlam.

No, but I got them here:

* Randy Orton beat Rob Van Dam in the opener. RVD missed the frogsplash and Orton came right back with a RKO. The match went just under 13 minutes.

* MizTV with The Miz, AJ Lee and Big E Langston is up next. Dolph Ziggler and Kaitlyn end up interrupting. Because he's host, Miz makes Ziggler and Kaitlyn vs. Big E and AJ for SummerSlam. AJ and Big E jump Kaitlyn and Ziggler but they come back and get the upperhand.

* Fandango beat Kofi Kingston with the top rope leg drop in under 5 minutes.

* Daniel Bryan beat Wade Barrett by submission. Barrett came out fully shaven after the attack from Bryan on RAW.

* Kane quickly squashed 3MB in a handicap match after chokeslamming Jinder Mahal. The Wyatt Family appeared on the big screen and Bray Wyatt cut a promo about their Ring of Fire match at SummerSlam.

* Christian beat Alberto Del Rio in just under 20 minutes. This was a non-title match and he won with a roll up. After the match, Del Rio attacked Christian but he countered. Christian left Del Rio laying in the ring.

* Damien Sandow came out with his Money in the Bank briefcase and a referee. Before the bell rang, Cody Rhodes ran down and came leaping off the top rope to stop Sandow from cashing in.

Thanks. It would be great if you could use the [ hide ] and [/ hide ] tags for spoilers.

Fandango vs Kofi at summerslam maybe. kickoff of course.

Daniel Bryan is going to make Cena tap out.

Completely agree with you. I love Bryan and not just because he's from the same state as myself. As popular as he is, it makes no sense to throw the belt on him so quickly and after Cena's only had it for awhile. After Punk had it so long, it was stupid to toss it on Rock and then flop it over to Cena. I can't imagine them doing that now with Bryan. Unless he would keep the belt as long as Punk or close to as long anyway.

Yeah and you being promoted to moderator pissed me off almost as much as the shots towards Christian .

Just imagine if I was here during Christian's Summer of 2011, I would have been rubbing everyone the wrong way, but all for the good of being a fanatic. Congrats on being a moderator by the way, and skipping being a VIP .

Stone Cold Steve Austin - The Bottom Line (2011)

I watched this today. Very long piece on Austin, but his story's pretty deep and epic, it's not surprising. The narrator though was the only weak spot, and it's not like he was necessary. Just some observations, this came out in 2011. So what was Dutch Mantel, became Zeb Colter!

Then looking at Paul Heyman here, and comparing him to the cleaner shaved, less double chin sporting Paulie of today...

They touched everything possible. His start in the business is one that I didn't know too much about, so that was enlightening. Also, the media aspect of his peak in popularity, that fact was not understated here. The documentary only made me respect Steve more, very much awesome. Thanks Alan!

On Sheamus' injury, very unfortunate. These things can be a blessing in disguise, he is guaranteed to come back hot again. A new look as suggested earlier sounds interesting too.

Here's part 2 of the next WWE Champion's interview with DirecTV.

[img]http://***************/thumbs2/fpUr176-DB2_tn.jpg[/img]

Let’s talk about The Beard. What made you decide to grow it out?
Yea its bizarre because I will go signings and people will ask me when I’m going to shave my beard because they hate it. But it’s funny because I’ve become more popular since I’ve had the beard. My friend Christopher Daniels told me years ago that I am a slave to my whims. It was last year I just said I wasn’t going to shave for a bit and it just kept growing. Now I’m at a point where I don’t think I can shave it. It’s just part of the fun now.

You had a beard-off bet with Oakland A’s John Reddick. Is that true?
Yes! What I wanted out of the beard-off was for two men to grow their beard for a year and see who’s was better and the loser would have to shave it off. But that said, we were in England in April and I just finished a match and one of the guys from the YouTube channel came over to me and said, “Congratulations!” I wasn’t quite sure what he was talking about. He said “you won the beard off with Josh Reddick!” and I was like, ”What?!” I’m not sure if he’s single or not, but if he is I’m sure it was quite a detriment to his game. I am not single. I’m dating Brie, one of the Bella Twins, which you’ll see on that Total Divas show that’s airing on E!, but yeah, for me, I can grow it as wild and crazy as I want. She might not like it, but I haven’t heard anything!

How did the “Yes!” and “No!” chants come about?
It was originally a take-off of UFC fighter Diego Sanchez because he was all about positivity and would just chant “Yes! Yes!” I always loved that and it was just something I started doing when I won the World Heavyweight Championship. I was very excited and I just started doing it. Then it just started to catch on. I remember the first time I noticed, we had done a RAW in Seattle and people were chanting “Yes!” and I thought it was because I was from Washington State but then it erupted at WrestleMania 28. It just happened organically.

What makes SummerSlam so special?
SummerSlam just has a completely different vibe to it. The LA crowd has a lot of fun and it’s a good time. It’s the biggest show of the summer and the second biggest show WWE does. Six months from WrestleMania, there is SummerSlam – it’s something you are building towards. Also just the history of it. There’s a litany of great matches.

Are there any matches from previous SummerSlams that you loved?
Summer Slam ’96 with Shawn Michaels vs. Vader. Vader was so cool with that mask. I was literally excited for that match a month before it happened. One of my favorite moments for myself for SummerSlam was in 2010 when they brought me back for the main event and last year’s SummerSlam when I wrestled Kane. It was just cool and surreal to be in the ring with Kane and winning the match. My friends couldn’t believe I was wrestling Kane.

Any favorite summer past times?
I love being at the beach. I’m from Washington State and even though its very cold there, the summers are nice, not too hot. I lived 30 minutes away from the beach. I love the sound of the waves, the winds and all the clean air. Although, I do not like the crowds.

You mentioned UFC earlier. Are you a fan of other sports?
I haphazardly follow football and even then only the Seahawks. But I don’t pay attention to what’s going on in the off-season or anything like that and I don’t know about anything else going on in the league. Like it will be playoff time and someone like the Atlanta Falcons will get the bye for the first round of the playoffs and I’ll be like “The Atlanta Falcons are good?! I remember three years ago they were horrible!” But I also really love UFC. I like to train in kickboxing and grappling and that sort of thing and I really like one-on-one competitions. Though, I never really got into boxing. However, I do enjoy watching Manny Pacquiao fights just because he is such an exciting fighter.

What’s your favorite way to pass the time while on the road?
There isn’t a lot of time to pass! We fly in, get to town, try to find the gym and then go to the building. From the building, we may have anywhere from a 150-300 mile drive ahead of us to the next town, sleep as much as you can, wake up, get some food, go to the gym, get some more food and then go to the next building. As far as time to just pass, there isn’t a whole lot of it. Besides that, I’m not very exciting. I like to read and I like to stretch. Brie will be like “what have you been doing for the last hour or two? I’ve been texting you!” And I’ll be like “Oh I’ve just been in a dark room stretching.“

If you were to win a Slammy this year, what would you like it to be for?
I’d like it to be for “Most Exciting” or something around those lines. Superstar of the Year? But there are so many great guys right now. Between John Cena, CM Punk, Randy Orton and all those kind of guys, that would be a very hard award to get. But that’s the one I would want more than anything.

Your dog, Asparagus, seems to have a lot of fans on the Internet. What can you tell us about him?
Asparagus is a yellow lab. He is now 11 years old so yeah, he’s getting older. He has been, let’s see, the Ring of Honor Champion, the GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion, which is a big title in Japan, he has been the US Champion, the World Heavyweight Champion…

He seems very prolific.
Haha, yeah. I just have all these pictures with Asparagus wearing all the various titles I’ve won. Unfortunately he has arthritis really bad in his back hips so it’s hard for him to walk. But the benefits of doing what I do now, is that he gets treatment., which is something I couldn’t afford before. Before I may have had to put him down but now he does physical therapy. They put a treadmill underwater and he walks on it to strengthen his hind legs. You should see him do it, he is just so happy! The water takes some of the weight off and it strengthens his legs and he has his head above water and he’s just walking just as happy and excited as can be. It’s hard because my family are huge animal lovers and it’s difficult when a pet gets to that point and their quality of life starts to suffer. When is ever the right time to put a dog down? But Asparagus is such a happy dog and even though it’s hard for him to walk with his back legs, he is still so excited about life. He used to love to play fetch but he cant really run any more and he’ll bring me the ball because he wants me to throw it for him but it breaks his heart that I can’t throw it for him. So what we do is we hide the ball in a little towel and he just loves digging it out. Though, in my mind I imagine it being a very frustrating game for him, like “I keep bringing you this ball to throw and you keep putting it in a towel.” He’s such a sweet dog and really one of the highlights of my life.

Any parting words for the WWE Universe or John Cena specifically?
For the WWE Universe I just want to thank everyone for their support. My fan base is incredible and how these people have come to like me, I have no idea. But it’s a really awesome connection. I can really feel it when I walk out there. It’s strange and surreal. Just awesome. For John Cena, he has wrestled a lot of the very best his entire career, but I don’t know if he is ready for the Daniel Bryan that is coming for him at Summer Slam.
