Well, considering Cena just lost the #1 contender match, I'd have to say that's a definite negative, ghost rider.FullDJacket wrote:Or is it Cena in the main event?

Cena didn't do anything, all he did was not be in title picture for Wrestlemania-lite. His ego will be ready for Mania.

I'd be surprised if Brock doesn't leave on a temporary basis so he can have that dream fight in UFC.

Re: The New (Spam Free) Never Ending Wrestling Thread
Attended a Smackdown house show in Montreal last night. I only follow WWE off and on now, basically watching when my 12 year old son and 10 year old daughter watch. I was able to score 2nd row center tickets, so it was pretty cool to take the kids and experience the WWE that close up. They lapped it up. Matches:
New Day over The Ascension by pin fall - surprised this match kicked things off, but the New Day doing their schtick got the crowd into things right off the bat. Typical back and forth heel/face stuff and to no surprise the champs retained their belts.
Naomi over Carmela by pin fall - Shortish match; Naomi was pretty entertaining and athletic, and her entrance and glow in the dark props again got people going - mostly the younger fans. Carmela played the spoiled brat, Long Island princess role well, whining and complaining to the ref, but she missed 1-2 spots and there were some "you can't wrestle" chants from the crowd.
Luke Harper and Sin Cara over Erik Rowan and Aiden English by pin fall - this seemed like a mish mash of guys the writers have no clue what to do with. To their credit they put on an entertaining match. You always need one Luchador on a card, and Sin Cara did some cool high flying stuff; English had some legitimate heel heet; and the two big men can wrestle and move well. I had no idea Harper/Rowan were on opposite sides now. I would have teamed these guys up, given them a run where they squash anyone and everyone and win the title, and then after a while build up some baby faces to miraculously take the belts off them. Surprise match of the night.
Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles over Kevin Owens and Baron Corbin by pin fall - this was originally supposed to be two separate singles matches and somehow became a tag match. Regardless it was the match of the night. HUGE pop for Nakamura in his first ever Montreal appearance, as well as for Styles in his 2nd WWE appearance here. Owens is a local legend, so it's always weird as he gets some heel heet, but a lot of people cheering for him as well. That left Baron Corbin the odd man out - the guy nobody wanted to see in the ring. Around me there were whispers (louder than whispers really) billing the match as "three legends and a flash in the pan". Great, great match and what made it interesting is the crowd seemed to switch allegiances based on who was in the ring and who pulled of what spot. Montreal has a rich wrestling history, and a pretty smart crowd, and it was cool to see people reacting to good wrestling and jeering formulaic crap. A lot of fun and a bit surprising to see Owens lose at home, but Nakamura and Styles were SO over.
INTERMISSION
Rusev submitted Ty Dillenger with his camel clutch like move. Honestly, this was boring. Worst match of the night and a good choice to put on while people were still in line at the refreshment stands and bathrooms. I've heard good things about both wrestlers, but I saw nothing but bland, paint by numbers, seen it all before shit. The loudest chants were "we want Lana".
Natalya over Charlotte Flair by pin fall - Natalya actually cheated and held Charlotte's tights for the pin. It was nice to see two girls in the ring who can seemingly wrestle, not held back by 3-4 other girls who can't. Natalya has transformed herself into a heel nicely and went at it with the crowd a lot. Charlotte was all business and did some cool athletic stuff, maybe more gymnastics than wrestling, but my daughter ate it up. Brought the crowd back to life after the horrid match before it, and it was a decent set-up for the main event.
Jinder Mahal (with Singh Brothers) over Sami Zayn by pin fall - with Pat Patterson as guest timekeeper - Zayn, being from Montreal and headlining in his home town got a HUGE ovation. For the same reason Mahal got HUGE heal heat. It's obvious who the more talented of the two is, and Sami's skill and willingness to give the fans what they came to see, won the day. Mahal plays the part of the angry foreigner well, but he's not as talented as other big men. Mahal of course retained with interference from the Singh brothers. However, the payoff was this:
Mahal and the Singhs were laying a beating on Sami after the match; Pat Patterson got up on the apron to admonish the foreigners and they were about to lay a beating on him, THEN Kevin Owens runs from the back and the three local legends clean house, with it all ending with a stare down between Sami Z and Owens in the middle of the ring, and people not sure if they would start going at it, or embrace. As it turned out, Owens just rolled out of the ring, grabbed his young son out of the front row, and walked up the ramp, leaving Zayn to have his moment in the sun as the headliner. It was pretty huge. The hard core locals, who have followed these guys since their indie days, were crying - I kid you not. WWE could do something really cool with this angle if they wanted to. For now it was more of a nod to local Montreal wrestling history, which WWE has always respected.
All in all a good night. Even with only a few of the big stars of WWE present the crowd (5500 to 6000 or so) left satisfied, as Nakamura, AJ, Owens, and Zayn are worth the price of admission alone, and as I noted there were some nice surprises with the ladies, and Harper/Rowan, and the comic relief of the New Day.
Sorry for the long winded review. Hopefully a few of you dig it.

Medically induced, so perhaps just a pre-requisite for the surgery?
Would be worse if he slipped into a coma on his own.
Guy is relatively young but has some HARD miles on him.

I just read that he's out of surgery and his family is by his side. No idea how it went.

He also admitted in a different interview that he suffers a type of heart problem called Alcoholic Cardiac Arrhythmia from years of...being Ric Flair.

Enzo has so much heat with the boys that they're not allowing him to dress in the locker room and they're most likely sending him back to NXT to cool shit off.LAglamrocker wrote:Opening segment on Raw is why wwe rules.
