WWE TV, Rumours and Discussion

[E92_]

Booker T thing was pretty good. Didn't know about him and Stevie Ray not speaking for 5 years

Didn't they say something like WCW wasn't ready to accept a black champion.

If Jon Stewart were to do an occasional interview thing on the Network (either in or out of kayfabe) every now and then I think that'd be pretty cool.

"No John Cena you can't be in the filler battle royal mwahaha!"

Jon Stewart brought nothing?

I have no idea what show you were watching.

It didn't progress any storyline and did nothing for Seth's character. Stuff like this is passable in say September, but for this to be a major segment during wrestlemania season is pretty unacceptable

The Jon Stewart segment was entertaining and enjoyable.

Can't we just enjoy it for what it was?

 

[Hawks1523]

Didn't they say something like WCW wasn't ready to accept a black champion.

He said he was interested to see if the wcw crowd were ready for a black champion. Or how they'd react to one. But the crowd erupted when he won etc.

What was the reason and when was this in WCW or when Booker was in the E?

It seemed to be around the wwe / tna days. He wanted the wrestling school to be Stevie ray and booker t wrestling school. But there was conflict etc and they stopped speaking for 5 years, until booker was going in to the HOF and Stevie ray inducted him

Exactly this is the road to Wrestlemania

When I think of fight music I think David Guetta.

I don't think it takes 90 minutes to drive from Manhattan to Newark.

[Bomberboyokay]

These people should be cheering Stewart's entrance louder. Bet they're dorks who prefer Fallon's low brow jokes.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Daniel Bryan not mentioned/appeared until 138 minutes in. Really trying to keep his popularity on script.

Just watched the booker T thing and half an hour really wasn't long enough to go in depth on his entire career. I would've preferred it if they just focused on one or two moments and give more insight. No need to go on about Booker and Goldy or king booker.

Booker T was my very first favourite wrestler before I fell in love with Jericho, so it was great being reminded of all his big moments. I've been going through the WCW ppvs from the nwo period and Harlem Heat have so many hidden gem matches in that time. I had no idea how great that tag team was and Sherri just adds to it in such a unique way as she's so contray to the Harlem Heat persona.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

So much for the Bryan-Ziggler WrestleMania talk

Both in the ladder spot match

 

[ptrg]

Bit of a conundrum with whether to cheer Stewart- yes since he is a hometown boy, but no, because the majority or general wrasslin fans are right wing gun toting patriots who despise left wing "propaganda"..

 

[BEEG]

Surely R-Truth is only in the ladder match for a big spot

 

[WA ROO]

I've thrown down to those yellow-crotch hating SLACK-JAWS Beeg and Hawks for a handicap match

While you are doing that I will be comforting Paige

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Next week live from Pittsburgh Wiz Khalifa! Whoever he is.

#rawdelayed

 

[Maxwell110]

Ah, Wiz Khalifa, the man they should have never let Cena spit with. Like seriously, they never should have.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Orton, Kane and Big Show wear their wrestle gear all night despite not wrestling. PG logic.

Next week live from Pittsburgh Wiz Khalifa! Whoever he is.

He's had the three straight top-2 albums in the US. He's kind of a big deal over there, but has a solid following outside of the US too.

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Is this really the road to WM?

 

[NitroFan]

Is this really the road to WM?

yes

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

yes

Exciting times, I'm going to take back me early call after RR, WM31 is going to be terrible.

 

[Maxwell110]

What's everyone's favourite stories going into Mania? I honestly can't think of any that I'm invested in.

This year's road to WrestleMania:
