When Zeke first appeared, his finishing move was a devastating-looking, one-armed, sideslam. He no longer apparently does that move, opting instead for the much wimpier-looking torture rack. Why would he give up a move that makes him look intimidating for one that doesn't? And why did Creative not keep him as the monster he could be? I mean, come on…getting pinned by Cody Rhodes??
That move has a big potential for injury to the guy taking it. WWE is doing their best to keep the guys as safe as possible. The business is a work after all. Zeke will give up whatever they tell him to give up. And honestly man, you send me so many nasty emails about Cody Rhodes I am beginning to think he shagged your mom or stole your girlfriend. He may need to get an injunction against you.
Any idea what they would have done at MITB if they hadn't gotten CM Punk to agree to return? How would that have changed the finish?
My take is that if he hadn't agreed to come back, he would not have won. I think it was important to them to know he was coming back, and while I wanted to see Punk win even if he was leaving, I understand how they felt that way. I think if he weren't going to return we would have seen the same match only with Punk losing.
Hi guys, not really a question but more of a comment that I'd like your opinion on. Every week on your site I see at least 2 or 3 questions about turning John Cena heel and the excuse you give is that WWE makes too much money of merchandise of Cena. I totally disagree with this. If John Cena was to turn heel tomorrow on RAW, somebody else would sell the merchandise. If Cena makes a million on merchandise as a face, after a heel turn, John Morrison, Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton and whoever else would get a sales boost and make up the money. People will buy their favorites t-shirts regardless. I think the real reason WWE wont turn Cena is because, no wrestler in history provokes a reaction like Cena. I'm sure people buy tickets just to boo John Cena. If Cena was heel, I don't believe people would buy tickets to boo Cena if that's what WWE want and CM Punk wouldn't get the reaction he gets for that matter. I'm not a fan Cena btw, just stating facts.
No, what you actually stated was your opinion. You don't know for a fact that whoever they pushed at the top would sell as much merch as Cena. If it was that easy to do, they would have more top guys.
When a model gets signed by WWE is it usually because a model sent them a portfolio or us it the WWE that usually sees the model from somewhere and asks them if they are interested in a wrestling career?
It happens both ways. John Laurinaitis definitely casts models, but sometimes models come to WWE looking for an opportunity as well. Laurinaitis has a sweet job doesn't he?
In regards to the Lesnar-Undertaker beef, Lesnar stated in an interview a month or so after their confrontation at a UFC show that he heard through mutual friends that Undertaker had said some bad things about him. It was speculated that one of the reasons that Undertaker is mad at Lesnar is because he was suppose to feud with him and job to Undertaker but instead left WWE. What's the real story?
We reported at the time that Lesnar left WWE that while he was saying he didn't like the travel and the lifestyle, a main (or THE main) reason he was leaving was that his push on top was ending and he was being booked to do jobs to The Undertaker and he didn't want to do them. Taker (and most of the rest of the locker room), saw that as unprofessional. Obviously, if you put a guy over he should return the favor and Brock chose to quit rather than do so.
