It's Frannys favorite guy!

[theFRANCHISE]

Justin Roberts is growing on me as a ring announcer.

That said, I'm gonna take his job and do it even better.

[theFRANCHISE]

It's Frannys favorite guy!

I will slap you for saying that.

Cmon how can you not love a jar of mayonaise with the ketchup haircut

[JO_75]

where is Mania this time? Trying to plan out lol just in case the man retires this year,tho he wouldn't hit the hall til next I feel if not later.

on another note how come Austin is in but Rock isn't?

Atlanta in the Georgia Dome! That is only a short drive from where I'm at in North Carolina, I'm trying to get the money saved up with the new job I just got to get some decent seats and take a Trip in early April for Wrestlemania.

Who you talking about retiring this year, Undertaker?

That is amazing, from what I read since Wrestlemania is in Atlanta they are going to have a WCW Themed HOF which means that The Rock won't get in next year. I can see The Rock going into the HOF in a couple years when Vince finally convinces Dwayne to do 1 more match.

yes like i said I actually started a savings account to be at his HOF ceremoney been saving for 5 yrs now pretty good chunk in there,I'm only like 15 minutes from the NC boarder here in VA last Mania and only Mania I did was 2000 all the way over in LA,and luck would have it one of the few Taker wasn't at

[theFRANCHISE]

It dawned on me that it's been 7 years since Cena was a heel.

It's high time that they make it happen. Sure, he sells the most merchandise, but it'd be such a shocking move (even if the logic is lacking in the storyline), that it'd bring in massive ratings and would cut into TNA's audience temporarily because of the curiosity behind the move.

ahh ok. Yeah depending on the price I may just wind up getting tickets for WM and have extra to buy a event t-shirt to say that I was there and ditch the HOF even though if TNA ever lets Sting go, maybe Vince can get Steve Borden(aka Sting) to sign a deal similar to a deal he is trying to get Goldberg under right now and that may change my mind if they can get Sting to be the main man for the HOF next year.

would save his character i think,don't really hate cena all that much since he doesn't hold ythe title like he did before

[FlaccoFlicker]

I know its slim the second Bank gets cashed but what if Miz is Nexus' leader?They help him cash it in

Right now I don't expect it unless Vince wants to get out of being PG and that won't happen until Linda loses her senate run in CT because Linda running for Senate is one of the main reasons why they are PG, I expect them to go with Triple H since he is in need of a heel turn just like Cena is but Triple H would go heel first before Cena. The logic in the storyline is the only reason why I can't see them having Cena turn out to be the leader because of him being attacked. Trips I can see because of his history with Vince and like I said before with the family background, Trips makes the most sense saying how he wants to get rid of Vince so he can take over the company, there's so much there with a Triple H heel turn and being the leader that I could go on & on on why Trips would be the leader.

This cage match is horrible. It's been so long since I've seen a main event with so many rest holds. The flow of the match is crap. And there's so much posturing and brawling than actual wrestling, I'm almost convinced that both guys have no semblance of a story going on in the ring right now.

Yeah this main event is really bad,a lot of Cena haters tonight though.

[FlaccoFlicker]

this is turning into a TNA ppv great undercard crap main event

[theFRANCHISE]

I wanna vomit from how mediocre this match is.

I am not only further convinced that Sheamus is horrible in the ring, but Cena's moveset may be more limited than Hulk Hogan's. And to think, Cena used to be a promising young star back in 2003...when he actually wrestled.

[FlaccoFlicker]

i now have the 7-11 Randy Orton Cup haha

This is embarrassing, if your in the main event your expected to be the match of the night,not broing to death.

[JO_75]

It's been a pretty solid Cage match I think and here comes the damn Nexus.

[FlaccoFlicker]

it's the NNNNNNN

It's the hardcore schedule Cena has,if Hogan did as much wrestling and promoting as Cena does today he would have been dust by the time he joined WCW.

[McBurks]

Can they ever have a credible heel champion?

[FlaccoFlicker]

semi ok match very crap ending,damn did Slater break some ankles with that fall?

[theFRANCHISE]

See, I like seeing this intense side of Cena, not the corny, smiling paper champion.

I hope that this is the catalyst for an eventual heel turn, even though the Nexus are supposed to be the heels in this case.

[FlaccoFlicker]

I couldn't get into the cage match truthfully,maybe it's the headache but it was like a good movie that gets destroyed by the ending,all in all 8 on a scale of 10 card.

[JO_75]

I also give it a 8 out of 10 but it seems like they want to make Sheamus a credible champion but just that he always runs from Nexus, not even helping fighting them off. Like it would have been something where the Nexus could have gotten in the ring and destroyed everything and prevented the match from ending or laying out Sheamus.

[theFRANCHISE]

Reports are further indicating that John Cena may be turning heel and aligning himself with Nexus. Triple H is still the top candidate to be the mastermind, but injuries have continually hampered him and he may not return in time to become the leader before the angle cools off.

I still think that, despite the lapses in logic, Cena turning heel to become the leader would work simply by virtue of the new catchphrase, "If you're not Nexus, you're against us." Cena would be sick of being booed despite having been beaten down and sympathetic, and he would be sick of getting beat up every week -- so instead of being bullied, he would become the bully. That explanation would completely erase all the lapses in logic while also leaving the door open for Triple H to either be the savior OR the mastermind behind Nexus, if he so chose.

[theFRANCHISE]

I just thought of a scenario that would not only get Cena over further as a heel, but also shake things up:

What if Cena was the one who put Undertaker in a vegetative state? His explanation could've been that he simply wanted the respect that he never got from the fans, and that the only way he felt he could be respected was if he took out the top dog in WWE. Not only that, but they could reference the first feud they had back in 2003, when Cena was last heel and challenged Taker for respect.

This would not only cement Cena's heel status and completely erase all the good he's done, but also give Kane a temporary program until Taker comes back, keep Kane face until Mysterio comes back to try to reclaim his title, and give Taker an excuse to face Cena at WrestleMania.

In the meantime, Nexus would serve as a temporary diversion for Taker, having him take on all the members over time before eventually facing Cena last.

[FlaccoFlicker]

So apparently Kane made some history last night as he was the first superstar to win the WWE,ECW,and World heavyweight Titles within the WWE.Big Show accomplished this also but his World Title Reign came in WCW.

[AwakenTheDemon]

I respect Kane for all the time he put into the company with little reward. He does deserve that championship, what bothers me is that he's way past his prime. Back when he was an intimidating monster, when he was still masked and didn't talk, a world championship reign would have been awesome. Just right now... he's a bald, angry, out-of-shape man. Not a big, red, dominating, intimidating, silent machine.

[Wacko4Zacko]

Evan Bourne is getting good reaction from the crowd, even in lats nights match he was being cheered for alot. I wont be shocked to see him win the U.S. title.
