- Alberto Del Rio was doing media for WWE in Puerto Rico this weekend and said that he is under the impression that he will not be performing at WrestleMania 28.

Del Rio said at one point, he was going to face Randy Orton and most recently plans called for him to be on Team Laurinaitis. Del Rio said he had just been told he’s no longer in the Team Laurinaitis vs. Team Long match.





- WWE Champion CM Punk spoke with InkedMag.com this week. Here are some highlights:

You seem to be cognizant of wrestling history. For example, after Macho Man Randy Savage’s death, you wore tights designed like his and performed his elbow drop. Why is the past so important to you?

Like they say, if you don’t remember the past you’re doomed to repeat it. Not that repeating pro wrestling’s past would be such a horrible thing; there were certain aspects that were a lot cooler back then. When I was a kid, Macho Man was the %*%%. When he passed away I just felt the need to do something. So I had some classic WrestleMania III Macho Man tights made and I wore them, thinking that maybe someone who didn’t know who he is would hear people talking about him and check him out. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Macho Man. He is cooler than anyone around today, myself included.



Leading up to your championship you were portrayed as an outsider and an underdog. You’ve talked about how you weren’t marketed correctly or enough. Now that you have been crowned champion, can you still make that claim?

Not without adding some sort of severe backlash from people. It’s hard to say you’re an underdog when you’re the champ. There are still people who are crossing their fingers waiting to see me fail. This industry has always been about image, and I don’t fit that image. I’m the one standing up and saying, “So what?

Damn I miss that Sting so much..His matches vs. Flair, Vader, and Rude back in the day were awesome..

[naija nitemare]

I'm pissed off at how WWE has cheapened out their PPV schedule to be like TNA's from like 2006

gimmick pay per views take away from the importance of gimmick matches to use as a climax for a feud.

WHY CAN'T WE HAVE BASIC PPV NAMES??? Clash of the Champions, Halloween Havoc, War Games, Great American Bash, Backlash, No Mercy etc. etc. those were tight as hell.

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

Eve's moonsault has never been good. Her feet-knees always land first instead of stomach region. She's needed to fix that for a while now.

Annual gimmick ppvs helps the lazy writers out a lot.

War Games is my favorite WCW ppv..They used to do such a great job doing the build up to that ppv..One of the best things about wcw back in the day..

this. wwe was teasing bringing war games back.

 

[Case]

But thats all it'll ever be is a tease..I'd bet money that next to WM and RR, War Games would be the most successful ppv of the year for them..Especially if they could raise the ceiling about another foot or so to give the guys more room to work..

Any good streaming sites to watch Raw tonight using an iPad? The site I usually use on my pc isn't compatible.

You ain't never lied. I still watch those matches to this day. Old school Sting was better than Hogan & Warrior. He was like the two of them combined. (Heard Ric Flair mention something along these lines last night while watching one of his biography's on Netflix.) Damn shame that we never got to see Sting at his pinnacle vs all of the WWF's big guns.

 Haven't seen that name in yeeears.

Great point that I think about all the time. NWA/WCW had a classic schedule of PPV's. Outside of the Royal Rumble, Summerslam, Survivor Series and Wrestlemania WWE couldn't mess with Starrcade, Battle Bowl, Spring Stampede, the Great American Bash, Fall Brawl, Slamboree, World War 3 and Halloween Havoc. The only ones I never liked were Uncensored, Souled Out and Hog/Roadwild.

At this time I will disclose my discussions with Method Man.
 

Although, in a way, all wrestling discussion is inherently premised in fantasy, it seems that many people who use the thread would prefer to keep the discussion focused on the actual events, characters, and storylines as opposed to "fan fiction," and I think that's perfectly understandable.  So, hopefully those of you who put a lot of work into maintaining these threads can use your influence to see to it that they remain well organized and easy for our fellow users to participate in and enjoy.  -Meth

Meth's Response to Me

You have to keep in mind that for everyone who posts, there are 5-10 people who just read the forums.  We need to make sure they're getting what they want out of the site, too, and proper content labeling is very helpful in that regard.  If the off topic stuff tends to dominate during a particular time of year, then that's probably when a separate thread should be made.  When it's overwhelming and people can't separate out the discussion they want to read (the content they expect to find in the thread) from the extraneous stuff, naturally they're going to complain about it.  Apparently that's the case at the moment, but I'll give you guys a chance to sort this out and find a better balance for everyone.Peace.
For those complaining, you must compromise as well. We are all here to enjoy this thread together. Now, granted since I don't know exactly who is complaining, I don't know what else can be done to change to meet their needs. We have already used Meth's suggestion of proper content labeling. So, I now have to resort to FURTHER action. Why the complaints? I don't know. I've changed the content to even feature video packages. And I quote..

So, I've resorted to changing the format countless times. In addition, I guess I have to now announce that I will be using http://www.synchtube.com/ April 1st to run the NTMania2 show. There we will be able to chat in real time to not clutter the thread. (Which was always the plan)

I've done my part. Now I expect the complainers to now do their part and not ruin what is a good time for everyone who enjoys NTMania. We have adjusted to YOUR wants and needs. And now you must compromise and allow those who like NTMania to enjoy ourselves. It makes no sense to have two threads at this point and time. Why be that guy and try to ruin a fun thing for others?

NTWTFers contribute the most to these threads with media content, news, discussion, memes, gif and etc.

Without us you will have nothing to read/do.

So work with us. NTMania ends in a week. (Keep that in mind)
 Let's keep things fun and positive.


-Lobo


I want to really thank Lobo for taking control of this.  I have been a ghost the past few days, but I will be here and active everyday this week leading into Mania.  I'm starting work on the new thread now.
Don't forget, the Rock/Cena "Once in a Lifetime" special airs at 8pm tonight before Raw.
