I like Regal, but he hasn't wrestled on air in months. This makes Punk look weak as hell.

What, is this rocket science now? Regal got to cruise to the finals beating a midget and a cripple while Punk had 2 tough matches. Thus, Regal was fresh and Punk was ripe to get beat. How does Punk look weak losing a 3rd match to a guy who had barely wrestled?

The Punk stuff in this thread gets creepier by the day. At least you didn't call him "Phil" this time.

Ultra Peanut · 04-21-2008, 11:23 PM

Yeah, calling it a burial is pretty ****ing crazy considering the fact that he beat Matt Hardy and Chris Jericho in order to get there in the first place. I just wish they'd spent a bit more time emphasizing how worn out he was rather than the blink-and-he's-tapped way it went down.

I eagerly await King Regal's inaugural address next week.

I also call HHH "paul" and HBK "mike" so I can see why that's so creepy. How dare I break kayfabe.

The funniest part is, I'm not even a punk mark. For the most part, outside of the occasional good match, in WWE he's been a pretty sloppy worker. Of course, I guess if I talk about the weird way that they book him, I must have a mancrush.

Thanks for playing, though.

Whether he was supposed to be tired or not, that last match was a squash. Weird way to handle mr. mitb. Which is par for the course.

After seeing Kota Ibushi for the first time this past weekend, I'm a big fan. Enjoy:

You're right, I'm sorry. Stuff like analyzing Punk's chances of winning MITB based on where he was positioned in the PPV match graphic is completely normal and non-obsessive behavior.

@ 1:20 First time I've seen that spot. Though admittedly, most of the puro stuff I've watched is 90's All Japan or 00's NOAH.

Also, the springboard reversal into a german is just f***ing nuts. I like that this highlight also shows him taking some bumps and not just dishing them out. Pretty cool.

I wonder if he has gone againt Danshoku Dino yet?

He pulled out the moonsault into a standing moonsault when I saw him on Saturday. His opponent was El Generico, who is perfect for him because he's also a high flyer that can bump like crazy. The entire match was Kota trying to go up top for the phoenix splash and Generico stopping him and trying to give him his brainbuster from the top rope. Finally Kota was able to get out of a brainbuster attempt and turned it into a sick reverse hurracanrana from the top rope followed by the phoenix splash for the pin. It was definitely the match of the night. He got a massive "please come back" chant after the match.

This is a pro-wrestling thread. There's nothing "normal" here.

But, hey, whatever makes you feel better.

In case you don't know, over the weekend WWE.com launched WWE Fan Nation, a social networking site. The network lets people create personal profiles to communicate with other WWE fans. So far, the network has garnered over 7,000 registered users. You can check out WWE's answer to MySpace and Facebook at Fans.WWE.com.

The WWE Fan Nation also features a message board for fans to discuss WWE and other aspects of professional wrestling. However, on Saturday night/Sunday morning, the forums were infiltrated with tons of spam and other nonsense by a few vicious users looking to wreak havoc on WWE's social networking site. The forums were closed on Sunday to clean out all the "graffiti" left by the attackers. WWE hopes to have the forums back online again next week after Backlash. In the meantime, they are in the process of adding new security measures to the site to help prevent further violations and to make the forums a friendly place to go to for WWE fans.

On Sunday, one of the heads of the WWE Fan Nation released the following statement regarding the cyber attack:

So, have you visited the Forums lately? Thought so...

First, thank you to the more than 4,000 new WWE Fan Nation members that joined our new online community, eager to participate in debate and discussion with fellow fans from around the world. They've created new fan groups, written excellent blog posts and participated in animated Forums discussion threads. We at Fan Nation thank you all for the great start. Please keep up the great work!

However...yesterday, we experienced a coordinated attack from (what was claimed to be) a competing wrestling forum community that wreaked havoc on our Forums, filling them with spam and other vile diatribes.

Thank you to all of the WWE Fan Nation users that filed Abuse Reports quickly on those 100 or so user accounts created Saturday with the specific purpose of ruining the rapidly growing Fan Nation community. The moderation team has temporarily frozen the Forums section, and is currently scrubbing the section clean of all "graffiti" left by the attackers. We hope the Forums will be ready to return before Backlash.

They will also be banning all the user accounts that participated in said activity. We will not be issuing warnings or suspensions. Sorry, but martial law is in effect as of now.

We are in the process of adding new security to the site, to help prevent further violations of WWE.com's Terms of Usage, and to keep the Forums a friendly place to play. More on those details to come.

Until then, you stay classy Fan Nation. Keep your eyes peeled on photos and blogs for inappropriate material, and file Abuse Reports on such items to alert moderators. We'll continue to grow, and will overcome this early attempt to ruin the soon-to-be largest WWE community on the Internet.

Thanks, enjoy King of the Ring tomorrow night on Raw!

Anyway, one of the cyber attackers will not go without being punished for his vicious attack on the WWE fan forum. According to the website of RTE -- Ireland's National Television and Radio Broadcaster -- police managed to track down and arrest one of the attackers, a man from Dublin, Ireland. In accordance with the Communications Regulation Act from 2002, the Dublin man has been detained by police.

A number of users were involved in the cyber attack, but so far, only one person has been charged. However, WWE's looking to take action against the other individuals involved in the cyber attack. WWE's in the process of tracking down the cyber attackers and forwarding their information to law enforcement agencies.

Regarding the attack, WWE spokesman Gary Davis said, "certain postings made on the WWE Fan Nation Forum were unacceptable and against the rules set down by WWE. The users who made these postings have been traced and their information has been forwarded to the appropriate law enforcement agencies."

Davis believes that many of the rogue users acted independently, however, a certain number of them coordinated their attacks through a rival wrestling fan forum, believed to be that of www.f4wonline.com, Figure Four Weekly Online. WWE plans on taking some form of legal action against other individuals involved in the cyber attack before the end of the week.

A few of the controversial postings were said to be pornographic. As you would imagine, this is a huge concern to World Wrestling Entertainment as their fanbase largely consists of children and teenagers.

Regarding the cyber attacker in question, the person is known as Dave Anchorking, a frequent poster at the www.f4wonline.com forums who posts under the name 'mr_anchorking'. Anchorking is believed to be a resident of the Blanchardstown area of Dublin. RTE attempted to contact the man's family for comment, but were unsuccessful.

Don't mess with the WWE's forum.

TrickyNicky · 04-22-2008, 04:05 PM

Wow. So trolling accounts are now considered something you can be arrested for? Look out internets!

Was there some type of DoS attack going along with it, or was it just specifically flooding?

Stuff like this just makes me hate everyone who lives in ROH's "territory" even more. Jesus Christ.

So don’t expect to see Festus anytime soon, but when you do, he will likely be a new character.

THAT IS ****ING reerunED. THEY ARE SO ****ING OVER RIGHT NOW. WHY WOULD YOU KILL A SUPER-HOT GIMMICK IN ORDER TO HELP SOMEONE'S CAREER?!

ROH is expanding pretty quickly, so don't be surprised if they end up running a show near you in the next year or two.

Also, each year on Wrestlemania weekend they put on shows that are worth traveling to. They treat those weekends as their Wrestlemania and put on blow-away shows. That's also the weekend they bring in lots of Japanese wrestlers from Dragon Gate and Noah. It will be interesting next year because they have never done a show anywhere near Texas.

Meltzer didn't really report any of that. During the TV review of Smackdown, he just kinda speculated to that effect based on the match finish. And I don't think he said anything about Festus coming back as an entirely new character, just that they'd probably want to come up with something to make his gimmick work better for a singles wrestler. If that's even what they want to do with him.
