Spoilers for the WHC Money in the Bank match (participants announced on Smackdown... so I doubt anyone actually gives a shit about it being "spoiled")

Wade Barrett, Jack Swagger, Antonio Cesaro, Dean Ambrose, Fandango, Cody Rhodes, and Damien Sandow

So as I thought... all heels - very interesting
 
Cesaro will win that although I wouldn't mind Sandow winning it either
 
Cesaro is my pick (in a "that's who I want to win" way). Most of those guys are small enough for him to hit Swiss Death on as well :drool:

Be interesting to see who the crowd cheers for, if anybody.
 
A "Smart" Philadelphia crowd will probably get behind Ambrose and Cessaro... but to be fair, as it's a ladder match with 7 guys killing themselves, the crowd will be into it regardless I think. I hope Barrett wins and FINALLY gets a push to that main event scene... but I won't hold my breath. I'd be happy with anyone bar Swagger to win it mind.

In other Smackdown spoiler news, The Shield lost a 3-man tag match to.... Christian and The Usos :lol: :(
 
Thought not.

That said, if Swagger somehow wins...

In other news: The Wrestling Observer reports that Colt Cabana recently had two tryouts with WWE as a color commentator but at last word, no job has been offered yet. The tryouts were set up by CM Punk.
 
He was in WWE a few years ago and didn't do much, think he only made a few appearances on Smackdown as Scotty Goldman.

I don't watch any indy stuff so I don't know if he's great there but there wasn't much memorable about his WWE run.
 
From what I've seen he's actually quite good, just not someone WWE would have any idea about how to use.
 
He's a proper wrestler.

Daniel Bryan and CM Punk have broken through in recent times and i was hoping more would follow but apparently not. Colt would be an asset to the WWE but he doesn't look like Cena.

I think that'll start to change in the next few years, with HHH taking more control I get the feeling he likes the smaller, technical wrestlers over a big, brawler type guy, and with NXT being on tv everywhere and easily accessible (unlike OVW and FCW were) it means that a lot of guys will get some tv time and exposure to a mass audience before they actually make their full WWE debut, so fans wont be competely cold to them

There's promise though, with Cesaro, and Ambrose, but they badly need to give Hero a better name, a new finisher, and get him out of NXT.

Wouldn't hurt to get some proper lightweights and try to get Mistico back in the mix.
 


Apparently the game was already being made before THQ went tits up and that build is being finished and released, so 2k15 will be 2kSports first proper swing at a wrestling game. :(

On the other hand, Macho Man. :drool:

They've signed Sami Zayn a while back, and they've just signed a guy called Samuray del Sol, who's a cruiserweight. I actually did look a while ago at who would qualify for a WWE cruiserweight division now (<220lbs), and there was a few then. Some of them have left or been fired since then, but I'm sure they'll have been replaced. Even if they don't have a cruiserweight division/title, there's still plenty of room for them to have matches between them regularly.

On the Cabana/colour commentator thing, Matt Striker said in an interview that WWE want to try Alex Riley (remember him? The guy that was Miz's pal around Wrestlemania time...yes, Miz was at Wrestlemania, in the main event. I don't blame you for not remembering, because of that actor guy taking all the spotlight).

Forgot about Sami Zayn, and isn't Santino a Cruiserweight? Much as he's a joke character, he's a quality wrestler. Could probably get Averno fairly handy too, he'd definitely put on some class shows with Mistico, there were rumours he was signing about when he was unmasked, but that might have been spannered when Mistico done his knee.

I remember a theme song for a guy names Alex Riley, or something. Not much else.

I was watching raw on tuesday (I sky plus it) and considering how under rated i think Miz is. In the ring he is solid, no, he is good and on the mic he can talk. He got himself over when most people considered him to be a bit of a joke and has worked really hard. I think he should be praised for his work bringing credibility back to the intercontinental championship and Vince really should consider pushing him back towards the main event.

Aye, and they're progressing with him, giving him the figure-4 to use now, rather than that awful, awful finisher he had, what the hell was that called? I remember Jericho using it once or twice as the "Breakdown".
 
Miz can talk? Since when? He is brutal on the mic... he is so incredibly grating and his delivery is terrible. He's also not that good in the ring - I mean, he's okay, but there are plenty of guys ahead of him on the roster in that regard.

The only person that makes me zone out quicker then Miz is Swagger.
 
And yeah, that poster is terrible... is there an advert that goes with it? They usually have them connect with each other... but yeah, it's a massive step down from that brilliant No Way Out poster with Daniel Bryan on the rail tracks.

This is still one of my favourite posters (and the advert that went with it)... despite how campy it was/is.. it was pretty funny at the time:

Miz called it the Skull Crushing Finale, although I know it more as "The Stroke" (Jeff Jarrett's finisher).

I think that's a very harsh assessment of Miz.
 
This might sound really retarded but why don't they they make just smackdown pg? Raw could be brilliant.
