They're probably gonna have him feud with Kevin Nash now. I'll bet that Punk just wrestles matches as normal, and Kevin Nash keeps coming out and interfering in his matches, eventually leading to a match at Survivor Series. Sure as hell won't be Hell in a Cell, as that's two weeks away; plus if Kevin Nash competed in HIAC, it'd be an even bigger disaster than it's already going to be.

Kevin Nash is signed to a Legends Contract and he never passed his WWE medical so he's not cleared to wrestle so that won't happen...just thinking HIAC next ppv and that's HHH's speciality I expect him to wrestle there

[Rappy Veteran]

well do you?

^ Ohh... :unsure:

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that they received several fan reports regarding signs being taken away at the WWE Night Of Champions PPV. We can also confirm through fans sending us reports that this was going on.

Some of the signs read:

"Wish Benoit was here"

"Michael Cole equals low ratings"

"WWE owns UFC"

Security also reportedly told fans not to use profanity because of the children who were in attendance.

Matt Hardy Makes Huge Announcement

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYCkrzLR4B8

all i can say, is good for him. he's not going to regret this one

[Rappy Veteran]

at least he is facing his demons rather then letting them continue (Y)

I would love to see the old Matt back tbh

Well, quite a twist at the end of RAW this week. Right at the beginning, Triple H says someone's gonna get fired by the end, we all assume it's John Lauranitis, but nooo, it's the Awesome Truth! :cry:

Just kidding, I know it's kayfabe. :p

I wonder how they're gonna plan this one out now. Most likely, it's gonna lead to Lauranitis being revealed as the ringleader in the conspiracy; they're probably just delaying the inevitable. Or failing that, it could go that R-Truth always going on about a conspiracy in WWE turns out to be leading the conspiracy himself. :p

Oh, I just watched the Matt Hardy video that timster posted. Nearly moved me to tears watching it. :cry: It's great to see him finally choosing to sort his life out. Let's hope Jeff follows suit very soon...

[Rappy Veteran]

bye Awesome Truth!

As noted before, Vince McMahon was apparently upset at Monday?s RAW because Alberto Del Rio mentioned his name on TV. The mood at this week?s RAW was described by some as the most negative environment they could recall. Vince McMahon was said to be in the worst mood.

Word is that Vince felt Del Rio gave away the end result of the Kevin Nash and John Laurinaitis storyline by mentioning him. Some say that Vince was in a bad mood before Del Rio name dropped him. It?s said that Stephanie McMahon and Triple H both took more of the brunt from Vince this week than others, as did the agents, mainly Dean Malenko and Arn Anderson.

The writers had to do the usual script changes this week but sources say it was worse this week than most others.

Regarding the Mark Henry and Jerry Lawler angle, they went back and forth all day on whether or not to have Henry put Lawler trough the table. Shortly before RAW started, they made the decision to put him through it. The table was supposed to be gimmicked so it would break easier but because of the late decision, somehow the table wasn?t gimmicked and Lawler was put through it the hard way.

Both Henry and Lawler were upset about the angle but Vince himself was said to be furious about it. After RAW ended, Vince called the agents and writers in for a meeting. Sources say Vince went into a ?full-on red faced promo? where everyone felt they were being warned.

Mick Foley is said to be very close to signing a WWE contract. Foley returning to WWE will be happening in the near future.

[MightyJordan]

Oh come on, who isn't expecting McMahon to return? :p

Awesome news about Mick Foley though. Ideally, I'd love for him to return and revive the Hardcore Championship, seeing as they gave it to him. Now that would be awesome! :woot:

[Dick Montage]

Oh come on, who isn't expecting McMahon to return?

You know... I genuinely hoped, and 80% believed he may have retired from on-screen nonsense to work on handing the company management down.

[MightyJordan]

Ooh, another Mick Foley story; he's doing a UK standup tour in November! :) Website.

• Sunday November 6: Apollo 23/Highlight Comedy Club, Glasgow (Sold out)

[Rappy Veteran]

Mick Foley doing stand up? that could be random!

Steve Austin: Orton Is 'One-Dimensional', Rips Del Rio

Steve Austin spoke to Power Slam to promote his latest movie, Tactical Force. The discussion turns to present-day WWE and he is asked to name which wrestlers he believes can evolve into "money-drawing players" for the sports-entertainment organization. CM Punk heads the top of the list.

"Well, I love CM Punk. That guy is already a star, and he's just breathed a much-needed breath of fresh air into the wrestling business," Austin said. "He's been working for over ten years. I'm a big fan of his?love his skills, love his promos."

The WWE Hall of Famer then mentions Wade Barrett, Daniel Bryan and the current Superstar most often compared to him, Randy Orton. Austin, however, feels "The Viper" still needs to work on his character and promo ability.

"Of the other guys, I'm still waiting for Wade Barrett to grab me by the throat and let me know who Wade Barrett is. Daniel Bryan could continue to move up the card," Austin said. "I'm interested to see where Randy Orton goes next. His promos need work, and right now, he's a little one-dimensional. The crowds are digging him, but there's still another step on the ladder for him to climb to."

Austin also feels that Alberto Del Rio needs to work on his promos.

"Alberto Del Rio reminds me of Gino Hernandez from the old [Dallas] Sportatorium. [He is] another one who needs to work on his promos-I don't like them worth a s--t right now-but he has great ability," said Stone Cold.

"He just needs to add a few pieces to the puzzle."

Austin is also high on two SmackDown! talents, including the newly crowned World Heavyweight Champion.

"Christian is a hell of a performer in the ring, and he's just had a hell of a run. He's recently added a few exclamation points to his work and his promo style-but, again, there's at least one more level for him to step up," he feels.

"Mark Henry has finally put the pieces together. His Money in the Bank match with Big Show was not a great match in the ring. But I love the intensity Mark is putting into his work recently. This persona is really an extension of himself: he's a big, mean, strong man, and they are presenting that well."

I don't know where WWE is going with this Triple H stuff but its interesting

[LOC Veteran]

I also love the direction they are going with Mark Henry (he's finally a legit champ woohoo!) and Orton and Rhodes etc. Also this Sin Cara stuff COULD be interesting. But since neither of them talk (well, the real Sin Cara can't really talk) the feud can't be super awesome I guess.

[MightyJordan]

Someone at Bleacher Report put forward an interesting outcome for Hell in a Cell. John Lauranitis, Kevin Nash, and Awesome Truth all interfere and form a new stable to try and take down Triple H, resulting in a match at Survivor Series for control of the company.

And someone else there suggests why John Cena will lose this Sunday, mainly talking about building up his feud with The Rock, seeing as The Rock is gonna be at Survivor Series, so if they take Cena out of the title picture, there's nothing in the way of that rivalry. God knows who they'd give the title to though. I'd love for it to be CM Punk again, but I bet they'll go with ADR again.
