[Wrestling] Discussão Geral

[Mister Master]

Former WWE superstar Tyler Reks published a series of tweets revealing some “dirt” on WWE. Here are a few of his messages posted on Twitter.

“Trying to think of some good dirt I could spill about WWE. Prepare yourselves…

“Anyone want to know what top guy forced me to stop using the burning hammer – even after it appeared on SD/RAW and PPV’s? … 1st house show loop, Cena asks pulls me aside, degrades me like I’m 10 years & tells me if I use it again I’d me fired. He yelled at me & said, ‘Who gave u permission to use that’? Apparently he hadn’t been watching the product 4 the last 8 months… Or perhaps how he stole our idea to get fired, use social media to get over, & run in from the crowd (Given to Miz & Truth)… I still have the promo DVD our idea was burned onto when Cena supposedly helped us with the idea – then lied & said it wasn’t stolen later.

“People say I’m bitter now. No, I just think truth is in order. Don’t want people to be disillusioned like I was.

“Anyone have a story about the world’s biggest baby? Oh, I do … Dude’s been on his bus for years, decides to come to the locker room & starts yelling at everyone to take their bags to their cars… All because a new WHC was putting on his boots on the floor. He ALWAYS puts his boots on on the floor.

“Edge, Christian, Jericho, Kane, Taker, Kofi, Truth – all good guys… Ziggler = stand up dude. Great guy. Talented. Good heart and works hard. @ZackRyder is a great dude. Innovated& determined to that last ounce. Wrestling is all he ever wanted to do. Great guy.

“Swags? Good guy. Nothing bad to say. Love the dude. Riley? Great guy – talented. Would be over as all hell if a certain someone wasn’t holding him down… #YouKnowWho

“Randy [Orton]‘s actually very cool. Got a lot of respect for him. Calm, mellow, helpful. I dig the guy. Keep cheerin him.”

[Carson Wentz]

Eles tão lá todos a representar, é difícil dizer, mas eu acho que era moço para me partir a rir com o Edge e o Christian se lidasse com eles pessoalmente.

WrestleNewz caught up with the one-and-only “Nature Boy” Ric Flair for an exclusive interview. Today in Part One, Flair talks about his early days in wrestling, his thoughts on the current WWE product, his greatest opponents and his thoughts on mixed martial arts, among other things. Although he declined to talk specifically about a rumored WWE comeback, he said hopes to return and has plenty left to offer WWE fans. Check out WrestleNewz later this week for Part 2 of the interview!

 

WrestleNewz: Hi Ric! Thanks for taking the time to chat with WrestleNewz. What are you up to right now?

Ric Flair: Hey guys, I’m watching Tiger Woods play golf. He’s minus one right now.

 

WNZ: Wait a second – the Nature Boy is sitting at home watching golf?!

RF: No, of course not! I’m at Paco’s Tacos and Tequila, man! What would I be doing at home? I’m with some girls! We’re drinkin’ and watching golf! (Unidentified woman grabs Flairs phone and hollers “Hi guys!”).

 

WNZ: That’s more like it! You’re in Charlotte?

RF: Yeah, I love Charlotte. I’ve never wanted to be anywhere else. Vince wanted me to move, but I never moved.

 

WNZ: It’s Flair Country!

RF: Yeah, and now Charlotte is a beautiful, cosmopolitan city too. They’ve got the Bobcats, they’ve got the Panthers. They should have hockey right now but they don’t, which is ridiculous.

 

WNZ: If it’s any consolation, no city really has pro hockey right now…

RF: I think (the NHL lockout) is terrible. I think it’s really going to hurt hockey bad. It’s a three-billion-dollar-a-year sport. It should be easy enough to figure out. It’s funny, because last year’s series between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia was the best it’s been in 10 years. Loved it.

 

WNZ: Enough about hockey. Let’s talk wrestling. When you were starting out, did you anticipate you’d be one of the biggest stars of all time?

RF: No, but from the very first day I started, I loved it. I mean, I watched it as a kid when I was living in Minneapolis, but I didn’t know anything about it. Honestly, I think it’s phenomenal what has happened to me. But it’s all due to Vince McMahon. He had the vision, man. He rolled the dice and he did it.

 

WNZ: Before Vince was in your life, Verne Gagne saw something special in you. Were you a natural?

RF: No! I quit three times because it was so hard.

 

WNZ: What kept you coming back?

RF: Verne — he wouldn’t let me quit! He even came and got me and threw me out of my duplex one day and said get your ass back over there. It was in a barn in November. Are you kidding me? Good lord.

 

WNZ: So when did it finally click that you were doing the right thing?

RF: I think it was about a month after I arrived in Charlotte. I had been declared academically ineligible to play football and that’s why I started. I was playing football in Minnesota and I dropped out of school. Of course my grades were terrible because I had joined a fraternity. I just rolled the dice and had fun. I headed down to Charlotte. Back then, Charlotte was just rasslin’ and racin’. It was just me and Richard Petty — that’s all there was. That’s when, at the age of 23, I got my thousand-dollar check after I’d worked for a week. I said to myself: this will work for me!

 

WNZ: So what can the legendary Ric Flair still bring to the wrestling business in 2013 and beyond?

RF: Oh I’ll rock the world when I get back on TV. You know that. You don’t even have to ask the question! Everyone knows I’ll rock the world. I’m very excited to get back in there soon.

 

WNZ: Will we see you wrestle again?

RF: I want to be in the ring, but it will never happen again. I said I’d never wrestle in WWE… and then there’s the Jerry Lawler incident.

 

WNZ: So Lawler’s heart attack has changed the perception of older wrestlers continuing to perform?

RF: Yeah, it really did. I like Jerry very much. What happened to Jerry was terrible, and thank God he’s OK. But I wish people wouldn’t gauge me by what happened to him. Everybody’s an individual. But I think it kind of put a decision on my future in the ring, you know what I mean? And that’s fine, because I went back to the ring in TNA, and that will never happen again.

 

WNZ: So if you can’t perform in the ring anymore, what would you like to contribute to wrestling?

RF: Charisma!

 

WNZ: Ah, of course. Is charisma something that’s lacking these days?

RF: I think that wrestling is in a good spot. I’d just say that it’s very hard right now to replace Steve Austin, The Rock, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Triple H. The Undertaker’s not working right now, and a lot of guys are off the roster right now. You just can’t make that kind of stuff overnight. It takes years to build that kind of notoriety, and they’re being very patient and working hard. You know, Vince is a genius. He’ll make it work, but it will take time.

 

WNZ: Is it on the right path?

RF: They have some big stars right now. I mean, CM Punk is doing great. John Cena is unbelievable, and the Big Show is really good. I mean, they have a lot of guys who are really good up there. That Dolph Ziggler kid is really good too. I’d have to think about it for a while, but they have some really quality guys up there. They’re doing great already.

 

WNZ: But you could help them do better?

RF: For sure! Of course. Those guys love me, and I’m good friends with all of them. I am the master of entertainment, brother!

 

WNZ: Anybody on that roster remind you of a young Ric Flair?

RF: No! (laughs)

 

WNZ: Nobody today can hold a candle to the Nature Boy?

RF: No, I’m not saying that, really. I just mean that nobody reminds me of me. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. I mean, imitation is the greatest form of flattery, and I’ve seen that happen my whole life. I was what I was, and that’s why people still follow me today, but there’s only one me. (laughs).

 

WNZ: Do you consider yourself a mentor?

RF: If they ask for help or opinion I’ll give it to them, but I don’t throw it out there. I’m not the type to just give out advice — but if they want it, I’ll give it to them.

 

WNZ: Do you still talk to some of the top WWE stars you mentioned earlier?

 

RF: I stay in touch with Austin all the time, and Undertaker, Shawn, Triple-H, Jim Ross. I stay in touch with a lot of those guys. They reach out to me, I reach out to them. I stay in touch with Ricky Steamboat a lot, and Sting I talk to all the time. And Kurt Angle — a lot of those guys I talk to all the time. It’s great. It’s a kind of mutual admiration thing.

 

WNZ: You mentioned Steamboat and Sting — two of your most memorable opponents. When you look back on those classic matches now, what do you think?

RF: Nobody can follow them, even to this day! I think those Ricky Steamboat versus Ric Flair matches — I know for a fact that wrestlers still watch those matches all the time. Sting and I had great matches too — we had great chemistry — but I think Steamboat was in a league of his own. He and Shawn Michaels and Triple H were the three best I’ve ever been in the ring with, hands down.

 

WNZ: If you were 21 years old today, do you think you’d go into MMA instead of pro wrestling?

RF: No, I wouldn’t (go into MMA). I will watch MMA if someone I know is actually in it, but all the guys I know personally are gone. Liddell’s gone — he’s a good friend. Ortiz is gone — he’s a good friend too. Brock Lesnar is gone. The other guys now, I don’t watch, because I don’t care about them. But I’ll tell you: I have been in matches with Bruiser Brody that were tougher than any MMA match! Especially in Tokyo. Same thing with Stan Hansen. Try getting in the ring with him one time in Tokyo, brother. Good lord! And F.Y.I., nobody in MMA could have beaten Harley Race or Dick Slater. Those guys were just that tough. And remember Haku? Don’t ever think that anybody would mess with Haku. If he was a young guy and he got into MMA, my god — he’d have done everything! He was the toughest son of a bitch I’ve ever met in my whole life. No lie, take my word for it.

 

WNZ: Do wrestlers still need that kind of toughness?

RF: No, the business has changed. You don’t really have to be tough to be a wrestler anymore. When I was in the business you had to be tough to be a wrestler. It was a riot — that’s the way it was. It was a very hard, tough, grueling competitive business. When I was younger, if you didn’t work you didn’t get paid, so you went to work whether you were hurt or not. That was tough!

 

In Part 2, Ric Flair discusses his favorite in-ring moment, his work in TNA, his love life and his daughter’s deal with WWE. Look for it later this week on WrestleNewz.com!

Eish agora assustei-me quando o Vince estava a dizer à Vickie que o Punk devia ser castigado se fosse provado que ele estava a mentir, pensei logo que lhe fossem tirar o título só mesmo para não bater o record do Cena :lol:

 

The Shield a atacar o Boreton :lol:

 

 

 

LOL OMG, o mundo vai acabar, Teddy Long a transformar um tag-team match noutro tipo de combate :o

MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE?

WWE posted an article on their website announcing that CM Punk will undergo emergency surgery on his knee. Here is what the article reads.

 

WWE.com has learned WWE Champion CM Punk is currently undergoing surgery on his knee in Pensacola, Fla.

 

Last night, after Ryback drove him through a table, The Straight Edge Superstar took a late night flight to Florida for an emergency consultation with Dr. James Andrews. A review of his condition resulted in the WWE Champion’s immediate surgery today.

 

WWE.com will continue to report on Punk’s condition as more details become available.

 

Kayfabe?

[Mister Master]

Espero bem que seja :angry:

[Aimar10]

WWE's website has provided an update to CM Punk's surgery.

 

The new report says that the surgery to CM Punk was arthroscopic in nature, and Dr. James Andrews trimmed a cartilage tear that had caused his knee to lock up.

 

Given the nature of the surgery, he is only expected out of action a few weeks.

[Lifehouse]

parece que não regressa para que na royal rumble esteja a 100%

[What]

"Naked Jelly Donut Stinkface" is probably not a phrase you've heard before, but former WWE developmental wrestler Devon Nicholson has issued a statement addressing the reports of 'inappropriate conduct' at WWE's former training school at Deep South Wrestling.

 

Nicholson sent the following to Dave Meltzer of f4wonline.com:

 

"I was in DSW during the time of the incident between Zack Ryder, Melissa Coates and Drew Hankinson. Nobody involved in the "Naked Jelly Donut Incident" were forced to do it. They volunteered to do it to get out of training that day. Bill had come up with the elaborate game because he wanted them to train and didn't think they'd agree to it.

 

"Hankinson was not "nearly naked" he was totally naked, the only thing covering his genital area were his hands. He was in the ring nude for approximately 30 - 45 minutes while Demott walked from one corner to the other holding up approximately 18 jelly donuts for Hankinson to "stink face" on both Zack Ryder and Melissa Coates. Ryder and Coates were cheered on heavily by many of the DSW talent who also did not want to train."

 

"I had passed a try out and was paying to be there to learn wrestling and attempt to get a WWE contract but went back to wrestling in Puerto Rico shortly after this incident occurred. I doubt Vince McMahon knew that this type of "training" was going on in his territory and I had assumed him finding out was one of the reasons it was shut down and Demott was let go. Although I disagreed with some of his training methods, I had a good relationship with Bill Demott while I was in DSW and valued the wrestling related advice he gave me."

Eh pá... :lol:

Meh. Tanta coisa que podiam fazer, até se podiam inspirar no Game of Thrones como o poster que eu estou a usar, seja lá o que fosse seria melhor do que uma imagem do Rock e a frase The Rock por cima, é o típico poster de PPV da WWE na actualidade, não se esforçam nadinha.

 

Longe vão os tempos em que se esforçavam um pouco. Por ex., nem está perto de ser dos melhores mas sempre me lembro do poster do Judgment Day de 2008 com o Triple H numa prisão.O No Mercy de 2007 com o Randy Orton com uma pomba entre as mãos, o do Armaggeddon com o Jericho, um outro do Armaggeddon com o Batista e uma máscara (que depois foi substituído pelo título mundial, ou vice-versa).

 

Lembro-me igualmente um do Booker T como King Booker acho que era do No Mercy em que estava um dragão por baixo dele. As únicas duas excepções recentes foram o HIAC e o TLC, de resto, tem sido tudo muito básico...

[andriy pereplyotkin]

Eu gosto da simplicidade deste. Mas concordo que não deve ser a norma, acho é que em ocasiões especiais como esta faz sentido.

 

E o meu preferido é o do Cyber Sunday de 2008 <3

[Mister Master]

O do No Way Out deste ano é fenomenal também.

 

 

[htc]

Nem me lembrava do NWO, de facto, também foi engraçado.
