CM Punk vs Georges St.Pierre? LOL.
They have quite a bit of beef with each other aswel which is good, but why?
Why what? Why Lesnar? Don't know, there's no real credible opponents on the current roster for Taker's 20-0 so they tried to get Lesnar back. Plus, Taker is a huge MMA fan as you probably already know with his ring attire and what not but I think Lesnar turned it down. I don't know why Vince was talking to Dana and I don't think anyone does - it's all speculation.
There's only 2 guys on the current roster that are credible opponents for Taker and that's HHH or Kane. I'd say Jericho but he's on hiatus 'til God knows when but he'll be back.
UFC 121 was it?
They just had a standoff with eachother after Brock competed.
No why are they head to head, e.g why did taker say "You want it" on lesnars ufc fight? theres something going on...
It was all staged. Here's the link if anyone wants to refresh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjHtxPew5Os
You think?Quote:

You never know, Brock vs Taker WM 28 could happen - another big fight on the card.
It would be great if Brock could pull it off. He's expected to be fighting again in January. Y'never know!
Only credible opponents i can think of are John Cena (Debatable) Triple H (But then its mimmicked the taker/michaels storyline) Brock Lesnar (UFC) and Sting (TNA) :P
No, No, Yes, No.Quote:

SCSA tweeted last night that the WWE need to sign up Samoa Joe when his TNA contract is up, I'd love to see this.
But John "Super" cena would make sence as he is the face of the company. he is known for being pretty much unbeatable. and your right theres not a majority fanbase for him, i for one hate the character, however it could be set up for Cena (Heel) vs. Undertaker (Face) for a year or so's time. It could easily be a storyline if Cena turns heel against The Rock, wins and then goes on to say he's done everything but beat the undertaker (Similar to The Games storyline). As for the Game, 1. He has stated that he is waiting for the undertakers return and 2. He has said that if the company needs him as a booster hes happy to step in the ring. Brock lesnar - we've all discussed about so yeh :P and Sting is only 5 years older than the dead man himself. And after all the hype of sting facing undertaker this year it seems almost obvious + Sting has told in an interview that a few months before wrestlemania the WWE offered him a short term contract :P
Yeah, there's only one problem Addict. Cena is NEVER going to be heel again. EVER.
Why does it always have to be heel vs face? Taker, HHH and HBK are all faces and the last 3 streak matches have involved them. John Cena vs Taker wouldn't be a good match - their styles are just too contrasting. That said, Cena will never become heel again - if he wasn't heel in Chicago, he never will be.
Cena is not a credible opponent for Taker's 20-0 retired. The only way that could happen, anyway, is if Taker skipped WM28 and faced Cena at WM29 but then it's another year. He'll retire at 20-0 for sure anyway. Hopefully it's next year when I'm in attendance :D if not I'll be severely pissed lol.
Give me Taker vs. Triple H 2 over any other match with an active competitor in WWE or TNA.
Lesnar and Taker have genuine beef. As far as them not having a feud in WWE, they did, and in culminated in a Hell in a Cell match at No Mercy 2002.
Angle vs Taker WM 29. 19-1.
Angle won't work with WWE after what happened towards the end of his tenure there, also he signed a new contract with TNA only in April.Quote:

I doubt Taker will ever lose his WM stream but I remember him doing an interview sometime ago, saying if he needed to lose at WM to help a wrestler/WWE, then he would do. Would certainly be a huge shame if he did lose the streak as I doubt another wrestler would be able to rack up as much as Taker.
Angle resolved his issues with WWE. It was down to him anyway since he asked for his release after he refused to go to rehab. He's already stated he's happy ending his career in TNA, though.
The Undertaker wanted to lose to Kane at their first WrestleMania meeting but it wasn't allowed.
Taker has always said he wants to lose to a new star in hopes of getting them over. I'm thinking maybe Barret or Sheamus. Or the Miz, assuming he doesn't win the title on monday. Then again now that Cena is off the hook it'll turn out to be a triple threat, Cena will win and the whole punk angle will be forgotten.
Punk's on his way to becoming the new Stone Cold. I reckon he was burned out and they decided that, rather than let him have his release, they worked out this angle that gives him time off from the schedule while being the single greatest storyline in wrestling in years.
I realise that and I know it'd be easy, but I don't think that's what Punk wants.Quote:

He's obviously resigned. Either that or he is the ultimate troll.
The whole thing is kayfabe, a storyline.Quote:

I LOVE THIS. I love how people are getting taken in by the storyline, congratulations are in order to creative and Vince but Jesus, I never thought people could be so transparent.Quote:

I'm not having a say in this matter. I'd like to see that Punk is still under contract with the WWE which will make this storyline one of the best ever. But Punk said he wanted some time off because he wasn't shown as a top star in WWE. But reading that over, Punk is getting time off... He's not attending any WWE Events as a Champion (like Triple H said in the conference) and atm he is the most talked aboutSuperstarWrestler in the World right now.
Hoping Raw can provide a brilliant episode on my birthday, should be another top show.
Anyone know what happened to Joey Styles? Is he still under contract, just not doing anything?
OH MY GAWDDD!
He works with WWE.com now.
He's an editor on the website, he used to create ECW webisodes looking back but it'd all be bleeped out and whatnot now.
He appears on the latest episode of the True Long Island Story "OMG".
And here's CM Punk making a surprise entrance at AAWContains Swearing

Cheers lads.
Watching Wrestlemania 22, with the hardcore match between Mick Foley and Edge. Was a half decent match many years ago.
I'm obsessed with CM Punks theme song, This Fire Burns by Killswitch Engage
I'm running out of PPV's to watch, just finished watching ECW Heatwave '98 for the second time in a week - so much awesome.
Have you seen/got ECW Barely Legal? Still got it recorded on VHS :DQuote:

Does anyone mess about with Total Extreme Wrestling 2010 by the way? I'm strangely addicted to this 'game' with no purpose.
Never liked TEW, Extreme Warfare Revenge was the best game Adam Ryland's made.
