Brian Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 If I sat and watched TNA now, I'd be totally lost. They ruined Christian, they ruined Angle, and what the hell is Booker T doing? I like Velvet Sky and Angelina Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHizzle85 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Is it me or is the booking on the way to Wrestlemania just god awful. They've got a natural feud with a guy that had the longest reign in like the last 20 years who never actually lost his title vs. the guy who's beat everyone in front of him. Instead they'd rather force the No Way Out main event and throw money down the toilet, and have HHH headline 'Mania with Cena. Last time I checked great builds help make the payoff.

Brian Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 For a Cena/HHH rematch to be interesting to me, Cena needs to be full fledged heel, but that will never happen. I'm still not convinced Orton drops the belt at NWO. Cena vs. Orton would be the best choice for me, but WWE needs to seel 100,000 tickets and putting HHH in the match will help.

Cena is also to start filming his next movie in the next week or so. That is another reason why I think Orton retains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Cena vs HHH, and I am SICKENED Yeah, but what can you do? Tripsy McMahon gets to cherry-pick his "victims" and he must want to get some heel heat without turning full heel again. As underwhelmed as I am by Orton, he's light-years ahead of Cena to me. Cena makes me grab for the remote immediately....it takes a few seconds when Orton comes on.

Super Cena vs HHH, and I am SICKENED Fixed, and than what is Orton's plans for WM if he is not in the title match? I read that HBK will be ending Flair's career at WM. Curious how that angle will play out. The only young guy who deserves to end Flair's career to further himself is Orton. We'll see.

I'd love for Flair to become a manager in the old-school style of a JJ Dillon, Cornette or Heyman/Dangerously, but that doesn't seem to be the fashion anymore. I think he'll become either a GM figure or maybe even a color commentator? (Coachman keeping the SmackDown seat warm, perhaps?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juddling Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I think it would be awesome if Flair became a 'old-school' manager to a young wrestler and taught him to be the next 'Dirtiest Player in the Game'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he still wanted to be in the business, he'd be wrestling IMO. Personally, I think he will stick around. I think he still loves the business, and he has a lot of respect for Vince, he's just too old and his body can't take it anymore. It's amazing to me how long he's been around after that plane crash - all the bumps he's taken since then, it's mind-boggling. I'd love to see him trying to teach the next Dirtiest Player In The Game, too. It would give him the opportunity to develop and refine new heels as well as establishing new babyfaces by turning on them when they don't perform to his liking. There are a lot of possibilities for Naytch as a manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would need someone to be able to feud with HBK and be believable....Jeff Hardy heel turn? Anyone? Hardy is so over right now, they can't do that.

I'm pretty sure no one's looking to challenge you for that great honor. Anyway if we're talkin Flair as a manger i'd put him with someone like a Shelton Benjamin, great worker but just HORRIBLE on the mic. Him yelling "Ain't No Stopping Me Now!!!!!!!" has got to be the laziest attempt to get a phrase over. Or i'd place him with someone that was coming up from the developmental ranks.
