Miz hasn't won a singles match since the end of November, and there are people who believe he's the one who is taking the blame for the godawful Survivor Series buyrate with the return of the Rock.

The heel injury to Sting is believed to be a ruptured plantar fascia–which a painful tear in the largest ligament in the foot. That’s great news considering as Sting first feared he had torn his Achilles which would have likely ended his in-ring career. His doctor advised him to rest 4-6 week’s but with the pay-per-view next Sunday he may work through the pain.

He needs to go old-school on this one and revist his 80's roots: pop a few percs and Somas with a little bit of speed. Hell, snort a few lines while you're at it; makes for great promos!  |

Did anyone watch Orton vs. Barett tonight on Smackdown? Punk is not the best in the World Orton is. If they go into another Attitude Era he will be the Federations top guy. He looked so good tonight. He did such a great job with the crowd and did every move so smoothly unfortunately he really made Barett look terrible. Renegade Orton can easily be the superstar of 2012. Timmys favorite move has always been the standing drop kick. I love seeing anyone do that move and Orton is getting really good at it. He really looked terrific tonight.

It's been said that Orton would be like the "next Austin" should the Attitude Era be rebirthed. I was never a big fan of the Orton character, but his ring work is undeniable. Apparently, there are enough fans who dig him. The standing drop kick is a beautiful thing to watch. Lance Storm used to get incredible height, able to kick most guys in the face. (He attributed his vertical leap to high-rep squats.)Curt Hennig also executed a great SDK, which was even more impressive when you considered that he went about 230-255lbs. for much of his career. |

Thats the one move of his that I think he should drop is his clothesline. For me he just doesn't hit it right. Maybe it's his long arms. That snap power slam of his is pretty bad a$$. All he needs is a top rope and submission move and he's the best guy in the Federation, probably all of Wrestling. He really looked great the other night. He played the crowd and everything. He's the guy to watch in 2012 and will be a tremendous draw if they go into a second attitude era. Thank you very much Randy Orton for your dedication. Your doing a great job! |

Mr. P's drop kick is Timmys all time favorite move. |

LOP:
As noted before, The Rock is scheduled for the April 2nd RAW Supershow - the day after WrestleMania 28. This isn't confirmed but it's believed that Rock will start a build for SummerSlam that night, schedule permitting. The idea all along has been for The Rock to do more than one big pay-per-view in 2012.
Great news, this leads me to think of 2 things:
1. Cena turns heel and gets a dirty win, perhaps with outside assistance from Kane?! It makes sense folks........
2. Rock turns heel in another pathetic attempt to get Cena over with the crowd that dont want to cheer him regardless.

This is pure speculation on my part, but I’m leaning more towards something resembling the first scenario. I suspect they’d use an angle this huge to push the Cena character full-throttle in the desired direction. In my opinion, I don’t think it’s possible to get Cena over as a face any more than he already is at this point. A heel turn, to me, seems most logical right now. Secondly, I doubt they’d bring Rock back in this capacity to work heel. He’s kind of in that “celebrity outsider” zone - I say “kind of” because he was a full-time wrestler for quite a number of years before making the jump to movies, which in my mind, puts him about halfway between outsider and wrestler. Most celebs who work guest spots do so as faces, but I think that Rock's aforementioned position makes it harder to predict how they’ll use him. However, I suspect one reason he returned is to tap into that wonderful cross-over market, attracting a new (the current) generation of wrestling fans to watch his movies. If that is the case, I predict he would want to stay baby face. Again, this is all pure conjecture on my part, and I may be completely wrong. I’ve always enjoyed the Rock character, I have an amount of respect for both him AND John Cena, and I’m looking forward to watching their Mania match on Youtube. |

wade barrett out dislocated elbow paid the price for big slow overshooting the target with dolph ziggler. the ref gave the dreaded x sign designating a real injury. also on raw undertsker getting disrespected by fans i guess it's time to let mark callas stay home for good. HHH saved the segment but it was going badly up until he came out fans yelling you suck , overrated, and the dreaded what, what when indertaker was talking...

I wonder how many of those fans know even a third of Taker's WWE history. It makes me think of a scenario involving fans who only started watching the shows last month booing someone like Bruno or Thesz during a guest appearance. |

You could tell barrett was pissed off, they bleeped him a couple of times I think. Then to top it off the next person who got thrown out landed on his arm, had to laugh at that one!
Taker did not look or sound good on the mic by himself IMO, was tough to watch!

Lawler said something like "I think Barrett broke his arm for real?" the next guy that got thrown out landed right on his arm! I couldn't believe it! I think the thing that made the whole Taker segment bad was the build up promo they showed the week before. When he was really being the Undertaker and then he cut his hair. He was a different guy last night on the mic? I don't get it? When HHH was beginning to control the segmeant I was screaming at the TV hoping the Undertaker would chokeslam his a$$! There's 40 days left. They did not have to do what they did last night. HHH stole the show. This match could have been pushed in such a great way. IT'S ABOUT THE STREAK. Get well soon Wade Barrett. |

I'm not discrediting these guys, and accidents do happen, but... Being thrown out of the ring was one of the earliest things they taught us in "wrestling school." Although, that may have been because the asshole promoter was short a couple of guys for a battle royal. Prick. Nonetheless, there's not much to being thrown out of a ring. Most of you could practice and learn it in a few minutes. Just watch a guy do it; not last night, but most other times.  What you see them do is exactly how it's done. |

We were never shown how to be full-on flung out of the ring, but we got shown the face-first-one-hand-on-the-apron method almost the first night of training I think. As you say as well, probably to fill spots in future battle royals, which we had at the end of every session.
Unfortunately, last nights botch was all Show's fault with the throw, and then I couldn't tell if Santino knew about the legit injury, as he kinda landed and then lost his balance before falling on Wade. I'd already heard about the injury, and actually winced when I saw Santino land on the arm!

LOP:
It was reported last week that Brodus Clay was removed from television due to Vince McMahon's unhappiness with the voluminous grappler's ring work. To add further detail, the WWE head believes he's unsafe and reckless in the ring; he doesn't want him competing until his ring work is brought up to par.
Eyebrows were raised backstage about McMahon pushing forth talent safety since Mark Henry and Cody Rhodes competed on this week's Raw SuperShow hurt

I thought Ziggler was the guy that got hurt. If it was the Big Shows fault can you explain what he did wrong? Was it just a bad shot or were the guys on the outside not ready yet? I saw the look on Shows face after the chuck and he knew it was sour. |

I didn't see it; I'm only going by what was written here. As with most moves, there is a proper way to give AND take it. But, I really can't say who the recourse should lay with without seeing the footage. Nonetheless, I just remember throwing a guy out of a ring and landing from the throw being taught to us in one of our earliest classes. |

the announce table was close by barrett and another wrestler were supposed to break {catch} zigglers fall. big slow threw ziggler way too high causing excessive out of control contact to the announcers table. had barrett not done what he did ziggler probably would have been injured. |

Observer:
--Regarding the New Jack fight with Brian Knobbs story, this is how it was related to me. After a show last night in Largo, FL at Gasoline Alley, Knobbs came into the dressing room and was giving a lot of the wrestlers an earful about how they didn't know how to work and didn't get it. Knobbs then specifically told that to New Jack, saying that New Jack didn't know how to wrestle. New Jack then punched Knobbs in the face, knocking him into the wall. Knobbs then came back and pulled New Jack to the ground, but New Jack got up from the ground a lot faster than Knobbs, and when Knobbs was down, he kicked him in the face, knocking him out in front of everyone. I'm sure more versions will surface from other eye witnesses in the next few days.

Okay. Not much you can do in that case. I wonder if Show got any kind of heat from management for this. |

I've never heard anything really flattering about either of these guys. I met New Jack a number of times; I never had a problem with him, but I didn't care for him, either. |
