No.. he does them in every one of his matches, he even sets up the moves the same.

The reason I say he is copying Eddie is because he only started doing them after he passed. An if he was paying respects why did they take the place of his own moves and specials? he very rarely did the gory bomb.

It is called paying his respects. No matter what, Chavo, before and after Eddie's death, will be in his shadow. Rey Mysterio did some stuff as well. It isn't copying.


Punk does the flying elbow in respect to Randy. Just paying tribute, man....
 
I saw it as him trying to go off Eddies popularity so he could get more pushes. But I do have to agree I don't see him ever being able to get out of that shadow.


I'm sadly watching TNA and I though WWE had Soap opera-ish storylines. AJ styles is having a baby with this girl he tried to help and is now saying he's not the father. When is TNA bringing in Maury. :laugh:
 
So I just watched the 1000th episode of raw on youtube. Pretty damn good show

Here are some of my thoughts:

Way too much product placement
X-pac has been eating well
WWE Fans got bored of Lesnar quick
Stephanie McMahon still looks as hot as ever
APA coming out was awesome
Where the hell was Stone Cold?
Lita's Tits are fantastic
AJ is the hottest diva ever
The Rock needs to stop playing with my emotions and either come back full-time or just go back to hollywood
Seeing Hogan would of been cool (i know i know TNA)
I wish the NWO could of come back too

Nash disrespecting Guerrero, Benoit and wrestlers with small statures.

Grantland.com has published a lengthy article on the life and controversial wrestling career of Kevin Nash, who has begun to gain traction in Hollywood. A notable point in the article has the six-time world champion reiterating his stance on "Vanilla Midgets," a dismissive term he used as booker in the late '90s in World Championship Wrestling to describe small-statured, gifted technical wrestlers who didn't project larger than life personalities but were beloved by fans, such as Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero and Dean Malenko. "Big Sexy" feels the professional wrestling industry died in 2004 at WrestleMania XX when WWE's "Super Bowl" concluded with the image of the under six-foot-tall grapplers reigning supreme as champions and emotionally celebrating. Even though the two wrestlers are now deceased, he still believes they never belonged in the main event scene due to their small stature.

"When Benoit and Guerrero hugged [at the end of WrestleMania XX], that was the end of the business," Nash says. "Has business been the same since that WrestleMania? Has it come close to the Austin era? Has it come close to the nWo or the Hogan era? You put two guys that were great workers that were the same height as the referees, and I'm sorry, man. Are you going to watch a porno movie with a guy with a three-inch d*ck? (Wait, what?) Even if you're not gay, you will not watch a porno movie with a guy with a three-inch d*ck. That's not the standard in porno films. So you put a 5-foot-7 guy as your world champion."

Nash has the same problem with today's "Internet heroes," CM Punk and Daniel Bryan.

"They are not bigger than life," he says. "I bet they could both walk through airports and not be noticed unless they have a gimmick shirt on and the belt."


Total disrespect from someone who could barely walked in the ring without breaking his own legs. His reign as WWF champion brought nothing positive to the industry.
 
Nash is trash, he is jelly that people only care about him when he is Diesel, and they care for like 5 seconds.
 
Nash is winding people up. The mans a genius. I kind of agree with him, but i dont think you need to be a huge monster to be over.
I do agree wrestling characters need to be larger than life. I really think the smaller guys should be on the mid card, been workhorses and providing quality, athletic wrestling matches, while the main eventers should be larger than life characters, relying on the feud and storytelling to carry the match, ala Taker vs HHH at Mania this year.
Im a big fan of Punk and Bryan but to be honest they dont add to the escapism that wrestling had over the years. They look like people who you may hang around with or see in the pub. They are bland. Punk didnt used to be, but he has gotten stale, quickly. Bryans getting somthing about him.

There a definately exceptions to the rules mind, lots of smaller wrestlers have been excelllent and had character.

When i think of wrestling i think of larger than life characters, doing the impossible with good storylines, not adults still suffering from teenage angst problems of male models doing acrobatics.

Total disrespect from someone who could barely walked in the ring without breaking his own legs. His reign as WWF champion brought nothing positive to the industry.

To be honest Chris Benoits title reign and choices have done alot worse for the wrestling industry than Diesels title reign and choices.

Again I think hes stirring the pot. Its a known fact that alot of old school wrestlers having nothing but distain for the IWC, picking on the IWC current underdog heroes is just a ticking time bomb, which has gone off.

Benoit and Eddie I didn't have qualms about. Now when they put the Heavyweight Title on Rey Mysterio at Wrestlemania 22 (I was in the crowd to witness it), that's when I drew the line, pretty much begging for it to be taken off of him. He wasn't a heavyweight, and he did not need to have a championship; he was over with the fans already.
 
I'd have been ok with a really short Rey title run, but when he had guys twice his size doing jobs to him week in and week out, it got annoying.
 
Rey winning the title was nothing more than Rey riding on the coattails of Eddie. If Eddie didn't die, Rey would never have gotten the chance. It was a garbage reign and Rey should never have that belt around him at any given time.

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh bishessssssssssssssss


Weak segment but Piper is still the best <3
 
"Divas" division really is crap, no other way to put it. It does not deserve the airtime like the Women's Division in the past.
 
Its about time, honestly when ever i watch wrestling that isnt live, theres a chorus between my friends and i, "can we skip the divas match". The only time a womens division was tolerable was when it was raunchy.
