The Mickie James Roast Beef Wrestling Thread

From what I read it sounds like its just an FM Radio, but its probably skinned to match the PPV posters or is collectible some other way.
 
Wow, all those segments hyping Johnny Curtis' in-ring debut, and they feed him to Mark Henry in a 2-second squash?

That's some TNA Booking right there.
 
SD Thoughts -

HHH opened the show with an EXCITING and UNPREDICTABLE promo talking about how the WWE Title match was one of the most important matches in company history and hey oh yeah Orton faces Christian too. He promised to make each Raw and SD EXCITING AND UNPREDICTABLE and did it here by opening the show with a long, drawn-out promo that was interrupted. HHH used this time to of course put himself over, bury Christian for winning the title via DQ (guess if he had it just handed to him, that would've been fine), and made matches...for the free TV show and not the PPV in two days. I'm tired of HHH's character. And bringing Christian back to his whiny baby phase is really not doing him any favors. Christian-Sheamus was good while it lasted, and made me want Christian-Sheamus to be the next long WHC feud - the matches would be better than Orton-Christian and Sheamus is more durable than Orton. Divas tag was fine. I was amused by Cole praising Nattie after burying her in a thousand ways for months. And also talking about how they copied the angle from Raw. Hunter started the show doing that, and Cole followed his lead wonderfully. Then Cole buried Danileson before his match with Alberto.

Then came a weird segment with Zack, Cody, Ted, Teddy, and Aksana being wacky with goofy music and innuendo. Mark Henry video was good - it was based around the Vader bomb on a Pillmanized chair, and got that over as THE thing to look out for at the PPV. Enjoyed his deal with Johnny Curtis too. They basically brought up how they were going to kill his career in one night, then had Henry bury his gimmick by turning wordplay against him hoping he'd break a leg. That line ruled. Hunicara did a fine job of impersonating Sin Cara's moveset while adding a lot of things the character didn't do before. I loved the springboard cross body to the floor, the springboard cross chop, the springboard swanton that hit PERFECTLY and then the lionsault finish. The match had far fewer flaws than the original Sin Cara's matches, but I think that could've been avoided if they had him spend time in FCW like Hunico, who had time to adapt to WWE's style. I hope this leads to an original vs. impersonator angle, but given how everyone acted like it was the same guy, I don't see that happening. This replacement deal leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but match-wise it should be fine and probably won't hurt gimmick sales much, but Hunico isn't the same as Sin Cara and isn't anywhere near as graceful as him. LOLed at Cole of all people burying Booker for not putting Kidd over after he buries EVERYONE on the roster,a nd then buried Booker for putting a bunch of guys on his fave five list THAT AT LEAST ATTEMPTS TO MAKE GUYS SEEM LIKE STARS!

And in case you didn't think that SD was enough of a B-Show, Cole put over how now the show was getting a real star - Alberto. Then he absolutely buried Josh for saying that Alberto was going to cash in his case on SD, which sure seemed stupid since it's only for the WWE Title, but of course, since EVERYONE ELSE ON RAW CAN COME HERE, why not either of the WWE Champions? And then Cole buried Danielson for tweeting a picture of his breakfast, listing the ingredients, then buried the ingredients of his pancakes, which led to Booker doing his goofy African accent. And Alberto and Danielson had a good match in all that, too. It was very short though - not even five minutes long. Really made Danielson out to be a second-class guy, especially when Cole harped on how the submission master tapped out. It's a shame that the match was short and was hurt by commentary, because it was the match I was most looking forward to seeing based on the spoilers. At least Danielson's loss set up him winning at the PPV.

LOLed hard at Josh saying Zeke's been on a roll and then Booker giving him a letter grade of maybe a C or C+. And then Booker said Zeke was dominating WHILE HE WAS LYING ON HIS BACK AFTER BEING BEATEN UP BY CODY. That was one thing I was glad Cole called him on. Cody locked on a half-camel clutch while a fan held up his own version of Zack's internet belt...so yeah, WWE needs to make their own toy version of it, but with WWE.com logos over the Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube logos. Match was short and fine. Loved seeing Cody win the IC title, or any singles title, but especially the IC Title, and then Cole held up a bag with IC Champ on it while telling the kids to not let something like reconstructive facial surgery get them down - THEY TOO CAN ACCOMPLISH THEIR DREAMS! And then Zeke killed Ted, so I'm guessing it's Zeke-Cody at the PPV. This was about the only thing on the show at this point that really made me happy.

Johnny Curtis at least got an intro, but maybe he shouldn't have - his theme is terrible. Henry killed him in a couple minutes, went to Pillmanize him, but Sheamus made the save and cut a great promo on him before Henry left...and killed Curtis again on the floor. So they basically killed his career dead in one night to build up a PPV match in such a way that ANY jobber would do. Good PPV buildup here though - very simple and effective stuff. Orton-Khali didn't go long, but wasn't good, unlike last week's Khali-Sheamus match. THAT was very good given Khali's limits, this wasn't terrible, but didn't have much going for it either. Enjoyed Christian's cliffhanger ending - it at least gave you a reason on TV to want to see the match.

Quotes -
Booker - TRIPA H IS ALL BIDNESS! LET’S SEE WHAT DIS COO GOT IN STORE FOR US TANIGHT!
HHH - Welcome to SD. So it’s hard to imagine that a month ago, I was hanging out back there - not much to do, just biding my time. Waiting on a friend, know what I mean? A month later, I’m not only the COO of the company, I’m the special guest referee in the BIGGEST MATCH IN THE HISTORY OF THIS INDUSTRY! The WWE Champion John Cena at SS will take on the WWE Champion CM Punk. In a match where we will determine….(CM Punk chant breaks out) ONE undisputed WWE Champion. On top of that, my phone won’t stop ringing, I’ve got a line a mile long at my office door back there. I used to think I respected Vince, but I had no idea the pressure that comes with this gig is off the chart and quite frankly, I’m loving it! I might not’ve asked for it, but if they’re gonna make me COO, I’ll do my damndest that each Raw and SD is the most exciting show it can possibly be! Tonight, we’ll have an IC Title match right here. It will be the champion Ezekiel Jackson defending against Cody Rhodes! It will be MITB winner versus MITB winner, as making his way from Raw will be Alberto to go one on one with SD’s own Daniel Bryan.
Booker - MY BY D-BRYAN!
HHH - And much like Raw where the WWE Title competitors faced off in one on one competition, the WHC competitors will do the same. It will be the Punjabi nightmare and former world champ, Khali, going one on one with Randy Orton! And as far as the champ goes, Christian will fight…(Christian comes out)
Christian - I told you on Raw I’d make a major announcement here, and figured you’d have the decency to give your world champ a call.
HHH - I would’ve, except I don’t give a crap.
Christian - EVERYONE IN SACRAMENTO THINKS HHH IS HILARIOUS! Maybe we’ll get a laugh out of this - I’LL SUE THE WWE! Do I have your attention now? Cuz ya see, I have medical documents stating that Orton is mentally unstable! IF YOU FORCE ME TO COMPETE AT SUMMERSLAM, YOU’RE PUTTING YOUR WORLD CHAMPION IN AN UNSAFE WORK ENVIRONMENT! And that’s left me with no choice but to once again consult with my legal team, and if you don’t uphold a stipulation, I’ll issue a multi-million dollar lawsuit against this company. That means, I’m gonna sue you. I’m gonna sue your children. That means I’m gonna sue every miserable piece of crap who earns a check, including that idiot Laurinitis. I’LL SUE EVERY FAN WHO BUYS A TICKET TO SUMMERSLAM! AND I’LL SUE EVERY FAN THAT WATCHES SUMMERSLAM LIVE ON PPV. I’LL SUE EVERYBDOY, I DON’T CARE. THE CHOICE IS YOURS!
HHH - Uh, jeez. Gotta me by the short ones on this, huh? I have no choice but to announce that the match at Summerslam is um ON!
Christian - You don’t get it, do you?
HHH - No, you don’t - I’ve had a lot of experience with lawyers. You have a contract with WWE, I’m the COO - you basically have one with me. I’m the boss. And if you refuse to compete in my matches, you’re in breach of contract! IF you are in breach of contract, and this is where it gets convoluted - I’d FIRE YOU! And taking that back. Am I getting through to you? Do I have your attention? Here’s how we can do this - I can fire you and take this right now. Or, or, you can keep that now and you can compete this Sunday!
Christian - WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME!? YOU’VE KNOWN ME FOR 14 YEARS! YOU KNOW I’M ONE OF THE BEST! DIDN’T ORTON ATTACK YOUR FAMILY ONCE? WHY ARE DOING THIS FOR ME? WHY WHY WHY?
HHH - I’m gonna guess that you wanna know why - lemme explain it to you. I don’t like Orton, but I respect him. Now, they respect him. They like Orton. They don’t like you. Because they don’t respect you. Now, I used to respect you, but the way you won the title, and the way you’ve been acting, I don’t respect you anymore. They don’t respect you anymore. So here’s the deal - you want that respect back? Stop walking around here whining and crying like a girl and compete against Orton this Sunday at Summerslam.
Christian - CUT THE MUSIC OFF, I’M THE WORLD CHAMP, I GET THE LAST SAY.
Cole - CHRISTIAN SHOULD HAVE SUED WWE. THERE’S A GREAT ARTICLE ON WWE.COM ABOUT ORTON’S MOST UNSTABLE MOMENTS!
Booker - Christian lost a lot of street cred!
Cole - Last week, Mark Henry broke Vladimir Kozlov’s leg, just like he did Kane and the Big Show.
Booker - Sheamus says he has no friends, AND HE DON’T NEED NONE. I got like three friends…
Cole - That’s not because of the business, it’s because of your attitude.
Cole - Nattie and Beth want to be known as DOD - DIVAS OF DOOM!
Cole - Last week, Nattie took a page out of Beth’s book by attacking her former protégé, AJ.
Booker - THEY REMIND ME OF A GREAT TAG TEAM! YA KNOW, HARLEM HEAT!
Cole - AJ has your dimensions.
Josh - AJ’s a GUY’S DIVA - she likes video games, comic books, and action movies!
Sign - Bring back the Ultimate Warrior.
Booker - DA HELL IS GOING ON WIT DESE DIVAS?
Cole - ARISTICRAT VERSUS THE NERD TONIGHT!
Zack - EVERYONE WHO WATCHES MY YOUTUBE SHOW IS WATCHING ZACKDOWN!
Cody - I would just like to praise your assistant’s decision to give me my title match with Ezekiel Jackson.
Teddy - He had nothing to do with that, now if you’ll excuse me…(Aksana appears)
Teddy - Aksana, my tire’s up, my stick shift…
Askana - I know how to drive a stick…
Henry - What a shame - someone’s career starts and ends on the same day. They didn’t tell ya? Your debut match is against me!
Curtis - See ya out there…
Henry - Saw ya vignettes - play on words - REAL COLORFUL. I like ‘em! I got one for ya - I want you to go out there and break a leg!
Josh - It’s been a month since we’ve seen Sin Cara, it looks like he’s put on some weight.
Booker - Looks more like muscle - which weighs more than fat.
Cole - Kidd aims for the injured ribs!
Booker - I think he just kinda hit it luckily.
Cole - GIVE THE GUY SOME CREDIT!
Booker - SIN CARA GOT ALL KINDS OF NEW MOVES TONIGHT!
Booker - Sin Cara’s back in my fave five.
Cole - THE WHOLE ROSTER’S IN YOUR FAVE FIVE. THERE’S 28 OF ‘EM!
Booker - Know what’s in that case? A WHOLE LOTTA DUCKEES!
Josh - The rumor is that Alberto will cash in his case TONIGHT!
Cole - WHO’S HE GONNA CASH IT IN ON? IT’S A CONTRACT FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP!
Josh - Orton said that. IT S FOR ANY TITLE SHOT.
Cole - IT’S A CONTRACT FOR THE WWE TITLE! DO YOUR HOMEWORK!
Cole - Daniel Bryan tweeted a picture of HIS BREAKFAST! HE’S PERFECT FOR YOUR FAB FIVE!
Booker - It’s the fave five - and if it’s working for him, just keep doing what ya doing!
Cole - Alberto’s setting up for the cross-breaker!
Cole - HAHA, THE SUBMISSION MASTER JUST TAPPED OUT!
Cole - D-BRYAN’S IN DEEP TROUBLE!
Cole - DID YOU HEAR HOW NASAL CODY’S VOICE WAS?
Booker - Why do I care about how nasal his voice is? I don’t have to hear him snore or sleep next to him - maybe you do!
Josh - ZEKE IS ON A ROLL! Give him a letter grade.
Booker - C, maybe a C+.
Booker - What’d Ted doing out here?
Cole - FOLLOW THE PRODUCT! DID YOU SEE TED ON SUPERSTARS? HE HAD A DOMINATING PERFORMANCE!
Booker - Zeke is doing a hell of a job!
Cole - WHAT!? HE’S LYING ON HIS BACK!
Cole - THIS IS PROOF THAT CODY IS A ROLE MODEL! KIDS, DON’T LET A LITTLE THING LIKE FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION GET YOU DOWN - YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH YOUR DREAMS!
Cole - BEEP BEEP, CLEANUP IN AISLE 10!
Cole - Sometimes, you have to self-sacrifice yourself and that’s what Ted did.
Orton - Khali will not need the Rosetta Stone or Jinder to translate what the RKO stands for - I’ll tell him myself!
Josh - Johnny Curtis grew up in an orphanage!
Cole - He spent his childhood in an orphanage and he’ll spend his adulthood in the hospital.
Cole - Welcome, Johnny Curtis.
Sheamus - Where ya goin, fella? All I hear is you telling people how tough ya are, but when I come out, YA RUN AWAY! So Shamoo, why don’t roll yer self in off the beach, into this ocean and face THIS GREAT WHITE and prove it. We don’t have to wait til Summerslam, we can do it RIGHT NOW.
Cole - The problem is this - Khali is HUGE!
Sign - Randy Borton.
Christian - Randy, I just wanted to give you some info I just received - at Summerslam, it’s gonna change EVERYTHING! As of right now, I cannot wait! For our match, BECAUSE ANYTHING GOES. AND TRUST ME WHEN I TELL YOU THIS - I have the best thing going! I’ll see you Sunday, Randy.
 
[quote name='Mr. Beef']Please guys, open your wallets for a wrestling legend.[/QUOTE]
:lol: The one public access channel here keeps airing these grainy as shit wrestling shows where you can't even tell who most of the guys are at like 3a.m. Guess who one of them was(Axl).

Funnier still is that I think Jake Roberts was wrestling in front of more people in that Beyond The Mat segment than these guys were on this public access airing.

It kinda reminded me of NWA Wildside, which they used to show around here on another public access channel at 2a.m. But at least on that show it looked like it took place in a bar, so the spectators could at least get drunk n pretend the show was halfway decent.:razz:
 
[quote name='mykevermin']As much as it pains me to admit it, I've never once heard someone bad mouth ICP who got anywhere near them. They've always been described as immensely personable, hugely respectful of wrestling, incredibly faithful to their fans - even well before they became ridiculously wealthy.

The people who do badmouth ICP are those like myself, who don't know them, who certainly don't get Juggalo culture, and think it's little more than a bunch of dirty hillbilly white kids thinking they're rebelling.

But I have known a few people who were close to them, and again, I've never heard anyone say shit about them who knows them. So I think they're more than money marks. Given the choice between putting those two and Dixie Carter in charge of a wrestling promotion - quite honestly, who would you choose?[/QUOTE]

I used to think the same thing until my friend had his boss tell me a story about meeting them....

Brian used to run an FYE up in Louisville and a few weeks before Halloween and ICP was coming to the store to do a signing. So FYE upper managment passed down to Brian that they needed to decorate the store like a haunted house. Day of event they had like 1,500 people show and after ICP shows up and they have people start coming through, Brian is informed that instead of a 3 hour signing they are only going to be able to appear for 90 minutes.

At this point Brian is literally trying to RUN people through the signing when the crowd got antsy and started banging on the outdoor glass. When it is becoming obvious that not everyone is going to get an autograph J and Shaggy apparently bolted out of the side door and left. The cops ended up having to be called to disperse the crowd.

Fast forward to later, Brian is off work when he gets a call saying Violent J is doing a radio interview blaming the entire incident on FYE. Brian calls into the radio show and ends up getting into an on air argument with J and calling him out by saying ICP were the ones who were cutting the signing short so it was their fault.

Sorry, wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy off topic, just figured I would share

My moment like this was when I saw them ask like an 8 year old kid if his nuts had dropped yet. I had a basic level of respect for them thinking well at least they are doing their own thing, after this incident they just went to pure shock value assholes living off of pissing people off to me.

So... Hunico is how much taller than Mistico and weighs how much more and I'm supposed to believe they're the same person?
 
[quote name='cdubb1605']So... Hunico is how much taller than Mistico and weighs how much more and I'm supposed to believe they're the same person?[/QUOTE]

Not to mention their headshape are so different.
 
Hunico outweighs Mistico by roughly 40 lbs, but they're both Mexican, so Vince figures they're all the same.
 
As long as they wear the mask, nobody in the WWE UNIVERSE™ will know any different.

Speaking of which, I didn't know Sin Cara made a cameo on Impact.
4ktp4z.jpg
 
TNA will give you a free ticket to the impact tapings if you buy a TNA figure at the TRU in Huntsville. The problem is ticket prices for this show are $70/$50/$25 and this area of Alabama were hit by all those tornados just a couple months ago.
 
Kinda funny how Booker said Sin Cara had bulked up and put on some muscle during his time off. A kayfabe broken rib would prevent that from happening. Bulking up due to a wellness violation would confirm roids or HGH, hypothetically speaking. Weird.
 
I hate to admit it but I don't really have a problem with ICP as far as the guys themselves. Their music isn't even worth wasting insults on at this point and their fanbase is often subhuman, but they are smart guys who figured out a way to make a shitload of money and they have plenty of respect for wrestling.

Their bi-weekly wrestling shows are literally less than 15 minutes from my house but I've never gone to one, mostly because I don't want to deal with the above-mentioned fanbase. I'll probably bite the bullet and attend one one of these days though. They seem like they'd be pretty fun. They bring Colt in a lot.
 
The rosters for the WWE '12 video game are being announced today. myke should be happy. Here is the list of legends:

Stone Cold, the Road Warriors, Demolition, HHH, Eddie Guerrero, Edge, Vader, Booker T, Kevin Nash and Golddust
 
myke better get his preorder dollars ready, because DEMOLITION has been confirmed for WWE '12, along with Nash, Vader and Arn Anderson.

EDIT: Beaten because I was thirsty. :(

[/QUOTE]

How the last name on that list is considered a legend is a bit confusing.
 
I know Goldust has been off of TV since NXT season 3, but he kind of just disappeared. Its like when Finlay was just magically a road agent one day and no longer wrestling. Goldust deserves a final PPV match. I refuse to think of him a a retired WWE Legend.
 
Any indication that they'll announce more Legends? I'm disappointed in the lack of Savage, who I figured was a lock. As terrible as it sounds, I'm hoping his death didn't close the door on it, since I was really looking forward to getting Savage in a real game. Otherwise, I'm pretty pleased with that list of legends. Any indication of whether it's just Kevin Nash, or will we get a full-on Diesel, too?

Also, it's notable that the roster list I saw doesn't have anyone on it that was just released. Is that just a press conference thing, or are they really not in the game? The normal procedure is usually to leave people in, so yanking people that *had* to be planned, like Hart, Melina, Masters, and Kozlov, would set a new precedent.

The recently cut guys/gals are probably in. I don't believe that they have revealed the full roster, and I think they mentioned something about how "changes happen so suddenly" when discussing it.

Correct. They said they announced about 80% of the Roster and Jerry Lawler would be the first DLC character, as announced by The King himself.
 
It's gonna take more than hair and Demolition to get me to buy a WWE game, and nobody's a bigger Demolition fan than me. Let's see if they pony up for the theme. Not freakin' likely.

Ah. Thanks for the updates, guys. I hadn't had time to look into too much, so i figured I had been overanalyzing it.

King, huh? Wonder if they'll give us Cole, too. Seeing as he got more PPV ring time than Yoshi Tatsu, it's not real far-fetched.

For what its worth Goldust did have a match at Bragging Rights last year against Ted DiBiase Jr.... or at least I imagined that match happening in front of me when I was at the show live in person. :lol:
 
It's cool Vader is in the game. When's the last time he was in one? WWF Warzone on PS1/N64?
 
Oh. I haven't played too much of the new Smackdown games considering they all suck.

I really wasn't impressed by the Maryse entrance. The hair still looks messed up, as do the walking animations. How have they not been able to get this right in more than 12 years?

Bad (or possibly good news for those who want to beat the shit out of him) news, but looks like Cole is in the game too as a playable character.

Honestly, for what it's worth, I don't think it was terrible. Granted, it doesn't fit in the LEAST, but it was Taker's shortest entrance in WWE history. :lol: Also, Kanye isn't probin anybody.
 
looks like I get to work on a theme pack this week.

Create an Arena is in??? Combine that with downloadable textures, and.. oh man, this will be so, so good. Just take my money. Again.

Also, Bret/HBK in a dlc pack. That's not confirmed or anything, just a guess.
 
The mobile version of the site is beyond messed up and there's no way for me to edit the post above, but regarding Bret/HBK, I bet it'll be a bonus for buying the Bret/HBK DVD this fall and won't be unlockable for a while any other way. That's what i'd do, anyway.
