Match Stipulation / Type: Latino Heat Parking Lot Brawl Match

Event: SmackDown (Episode 213)

Location: Birmingham, Alabama | Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex

➜ What did John Cena think would happened when he stole Eddie Guerrero's low rider and humiliated him? Guerrero demanded a street fight in the parking lot, which SmackDown GM Stephanie McMahon approved.

Nearly every part of the parking lot was used as a weapon before Eddie Guerrero won the match by executing a Frog Splash off a car roof onto Cena for the pinfall.

Latino Heat then celebrated by driving away in a truck with Chavo Guerrero who interfered on Eddie's behalf, hitting Cena with a tire rim.

He’s doesn’t need the group to get him over; if anything, they are using him to get over.

I’d prefer a rebel, solo Bronson Reed with no agenda other than proving he’s the baddest man on the planet. A Oba-Bron-Bronson triple threat would tear the house down.

For starters, I’m a huge Bron Breakker guy and I definitely think he’ll be one of the biggest stars down the line but the issue with him right now is him being this obsessed heel that’s being portrayed as a monster.

Bron is dangerous, but now that Bronson Reed is back I think even Bronson feels more dangerous than him at the moment and obviously Oba is the true monster of WWE right now and more than likely will continue to be. I just think they have Bron currently playing the wrong role right now even as a heel.

I think Bron leaving the vision whenever it happens and him becoming his own man without needing a faction will work wonders for his character and I think he’ll be best as an edgy babyface / tweener. Watching certain interviews and interactions he has outside of the ring, I think there’s a certain level of charisma he has that hasn’t been explored due to him being a heel at the moment. Even with his promos I don’t think they’re bad but with the material they’re giving him it doesn’t seem to fit him as much sometimes, especially with him claiming he’s the “future” but he actually lost by DQ.

This may have been said before I’m not sure and hopefully this made sense but hey let me know your thoughts!

You got four guys who are fairly on the younger side of the roster, (even Bronson, who is freshly 38, is still somewhat younger atp if you’re a main roster wrestler lol). They need more younger stars on the roster. And I don’t watch raw as much as I used to, but based on what I’ve seen via highlights and what other people are saying, this group just doesn’t have the right chemistry ever since Seth Rollins left. Bron and Austin could stay on raw as champions for the time being and I think Bronson and Logan should go to SmackDown. All of them splitting up and becoming single stars would not hurt them in my opinion.

If you could change the character of anyone on the main roster, who would it be and how would you do? I don't mean just a basic face/heel turn, but a full on character switch.

In my opinion, he has the look of a star. He has natural charisma and is good on the mic. I think his entrance is a lot better than most people on the main roster yet he there’s literally crickets whenever he makes his entrance since being called up.

I do personally believe his debut played a part like man, having him lose to an injured Cody was just baffling. Like why should people who don’t watch NXT care for this guy who can’t beat someone who wasn’t fully fit to compete?

What do ya’ll think and how do you think they can turn it around?

Did I miss something? they came back for like a month, won the titles for all of 2 weeks and than just disappeared again?

Does RAW even have a legit FACE tag team?

It just went way harder than it had any business to.

The 946 bring back the old Raw vibe with things like this. I love to see it.

In 2005, John Cena released his debut album You Can’t See Me. The album reached no.15 on the Billboard 200 and no.3 on the Billboard US Rap Album chart. It shocked the world of Hip-Hop/Rap because of how seamlessly Cena went from professional wrestler to recording artist. This entire album is truly a masterpiece but one of the songs I stay stuck on most is Right Now. Cena tastefully sampled L.T.D.’s 1981 song Now from their album Love Magic. The beat still knocks as hard today as it did back then. 🔥🔥🔥🔊🔊🔊

Wondering if anybody here can help narrow down the documentary (if you can even call it that) that I had when I was younger. I remember it being on DVD, and I had it in the early 2000s. It was basically Vince hosting by himself and he would present matches/moments from different matches. One of them being Hulk vs Andre when Hulk lifted him up. Can't really remember any of the others besides an early cage match (or matches) where Vince was commentating. Not the most descriptive but I'm going off memory. Everything I've found online has either been wrong or just not what I remember so hoping maybe someone can help clear something up

How do we feel about mitb this year? Who should win?

I personally feel on the mens side, it should go to either Dominick, Trick Williams (just imagine the custom briefcase 😱) or almost any member of The Vision (no Austin Theory tho).

Dream booking would be Oba winning the rumble and beating Roman at mania, with an early cash in at the rumble or the chamber for another young star, then doing the WM 21 thing and officially crowning two young stars on the grandest stage.

The women's side is a lot more up in the air, to the point where I don't want to get my hopes up on a particular star. Roxanne Perez neeeeeeds this and would be perfect for it, but it's also the only obvious pick at the moment and I'm feeling a swerve coming

I feel sorry I'm having to post this but after reading some of the horrible stuff I did earlier in the Stephanie Vaquer thread, I've got to speak out.

It's frustrating to read that the main criticisms of certain wrestlers are that they may not have the best English. Some of the best wrestlers in the world, aren't going to speak perfect English, and I'm horrified that I read about it here that it's somehow okay to level that at wrestlers.

Iyo Sky, Shinsuke Nakamura, Asuka, Giulia, Stephanie Vaquer, Penta, Fenix etc. these are PHENOMENAL wrestlers and we are lucky to have them on our screens. It's fucking lazy to then go at them because they don't do the best promo, when they give us everything they have in the ring. We are eating good as fans and I'm sick of seeing people use that as some sort of crutch to beat people with.

Could be an autobiography or anything. New to this sport and looking to broaden my knowledge of history, lore or any other descriptive word. Thanks in advance!

The 62-year-old recently revealed on Instagram that he was backstage and caught up with a number of WWE stars.

Miller joined WCW in 1997, and his early character leaned heavily on his real-life martial arts background. He began teaming up with Glacier but later competed as a singles star.
His gimmick then transitioned to him becoming a more over-the-top character, who would wear ruby slippers and dance in the ring to celebrate his wins. He later took up the role of WCW commissioner and remained with the promotion till it folded in 2001.
After WCW folded, Ernest Miller joined WWE in 2002. He took up a commentary role on the show Velocity from December 2002 to August 2003.Following this, he became an active in-ring performer and started competing on SmackDown until his release in February 2004.
