Anybody got any good torrents for anything to do with WWE? Long weekend in looking after a sick dog so i'm looking for something decent to watch. Stuff like good PPVs or any attitude era collections of Raw + smackdown?

5 years since Benoit died. Can't believe it's been that long. RIP.

RIP to the innocent woman and child he murdered.

The wrestler Chris Benoit is a sad loss. Though considering he had the brain of an 85 year old alzheimer's sufferer, that he was jacked up on hormones and in a horribly depressed place he was a ticking time bomb

The child and woman murderer and coward Chris Benoit should be suffering into his 6th year in hell.

RIP Nancy & Daniel

God forgive Benoit

Since MITB is approaching us, could any character "recover" from a failed MITB cash-in?

Only a very well established one. If they had someone relatively new win it then fail on the cash in after everyone else had, it would ruin their credibility for a good while. The way it's been going lately, it wouldn't be surprised if Miz got the 'honour' of being the first to do this.

Yeah but there are two advertised MITB matches this coming PPV.

El_Capitán · « **Reply #30772 on:** June 25, 2012, 03:06:15 AM »

Ahh, that's good. They usually provide some really good entertainment. Plus, last years event was one of the best I've seen in a long while.

Any ideas on who's going to be the 6 in each MITB match? More difficult as they don't really have a clear Raw/SD split any more.

I think it depends on how they're doing it. If the guy just comes out, cashes in, the other guy just flattens him and wins, then it could be problematic. On the other hand, you could probably build a good feud around someone failing to cash in by having someone interfere or some other dubious loss.

Normally, I'm not someone who likes to moan about Raw and Smackdown, but at the moment, I think both are pretty boring. You either have squash-matches involving Ryback or some other new guy or you have the same people going at it over and over again. It just feels like WWE have completely forgot how to build up feuds without the opponents getting in the ring together. As much as I like the whole AJ, Kane, Bryan, Punk-thing it starts getting boring, when all they do is have matches against each other with AJ doing something crazy. It just feels like this is going nowhere. Or Christian vs. Rhodes or Sheamus vs. Ziggler. It's just the same people taking on the same people over and over again. In a way, that's why I like what they seem to be doing with the tag-teams. You have O'Neill and Young (+AW) screwing the Usos and then being attacked by Epico&Primo. I'd imagine sooner rather than later they'll be feuding for the titles. I just hope WWE keep going and don't just split the teams and forget about the title again...

Book a lot more number one contender matches. I like to watch a match where a title shot is on the line.

Hate Wade Barrett for real now, he's a confessed lover of the Hodge. Called him the best English manager since Robson.

Makes the belt seem bigger if there is a number one contenders match on the same PPV too. Much better than Battle Royals, Beat the Clock etc etc.

A year ago on Wednesday the Summer of Punk began

True but it hasn't harmed his run. On the front cover of the new WWE game. Still no ice-cream bars though

It will go down as one of the best worked/shoots WWE has ever done

In other news Y2J returns tonight. Be interesting to see where he slots back. Heel? face?

My prediction.

Y2J comes out, makes a public apology, says he's a changed man and that he wants 1 more good run.

Then out comes a returning Wade Barrett. Cuts a heel promo on Jericho, bring it back to NXT etc and has a quick feud that puts Barrett over. Y2J leaves to tour with Fozzy again and Barrett is put over as a good mid card heel.

Barrett may not be 100% but stick him on commentary for a few weeks. Give him the mic to cut some promos and take it from there

I hated the Kevin Nash storyline. I just want to watch HHH vs Brock Lesnar

Punk's pretty much irrelevant now, but if they run with Cena/Punk for the summer there might be some hope for him (and you guys that worship him). Or he might just do the job to help boost ratings.

looking forward to raw tonight for some reason, will no doubt be a let down. Wanna see Bryan, Ziggler and more tag team division which they seem to be building nicely, millions and billions of dollars!

you still wanna do that prediction league btw mate?

Frank. · « **Reply #30789 on:** June 25, 2012, 10:26:49 PM »

I reckon do it.

You predict:

Match order;
Match winner;
Method of Victory;
Length of match; (closed in each match wins a bonus 2 points or something)
Amount of title changes: (Bonus point if you get number correct)

?

Anywhichwayucan · « **Reply #30790 on:** June 25, 2012, 10:35:54 PM »

Each person responsible for totaling their own score?

You will have a week/two weeks to total it up, and anyone found to have declared an incorrect score is automatically eliminated, until the next season.

LiverLuke · « **Reply #30791 on:** June 25, 2012, 10:38:05 PM »

Yup. Season ends at Wrestlemania, and some sort of Bonus for the Rumble.
