With the exception of the end of Jim Herd's stint and perhaps the Dungeon of Doom push in 1995, WCW and WWE were neck and neck for about a decade. In terms of quality anyway.

As it shut down Vince adapted a lot of its key elements into Ruthless Aggression and beyond. Namely matches being more action packed and the mid/upper card filled with realistic characters with fewer OTT gimmicks. Orton, Batista, Lesnar etc wouldn't have felt out of place in Mid Atlantic.

I see CM Punk is saying he is hoping to fight in the UFC again by Jan/Feb time. God knows what he seems to think he will do this time round? Who would he fight? He last opponent was as much as a rookie as you can get in the UFC and yet he destroyed Punk in seconds.

Eliminations Chamber is apparently going to be a Smackdown show now. Some fans are speculating that means the winner of the Royal stumble will come from RAW. All speculation.

My pick for the Rumble is Jericho....to face Owens for the title at Mania and thus ending their best friendship for good.

Hi

Despite the thread title saying (spoilers), posting results to other shows without using spoiler tags is not an okay thing to do. It's really not hard to put results in spoiler tags regardless of whether it's WWE or another company. Especially if they are unaired shows. The spoilers in the title is more in regards to discussing the shows as they happen where it is obviously okay not to use spoiler tags. We have removed the posts and encourage users to use spoiler tags when discussing anything that hasn't aired yet. Because you know what's happened because you didn't tag the spoilers? You just made the list!

I was wondering what would happen to the EC PPV after the brand split. They could have a SD guy win the Rumble and have EC SD-exclusive to determine the WWE champion heading into WM. They could justify it being a SD show since HIAC was Raw-exclusive.

Alot of people tend to miss it but 1992 was a awesome year for WCW.

Or just do what they used to do and have the title defended in the Chamber.

Are we really sulking about WCW on television over here?

I still have nightmares about them in Channel 5! "Wham!", "Whack!" 1960's Batman style graphics to cover up anything that might remotely be considered dangerous.

How did that happen? Instead of "sulking" I meant to put "talking", I really should double check these things before I post them!

Threedom made their appearance in Lucha Underground this week. Just cemented even more that Io is a star and for my money there isn't anybody better in the business right now, male or female. All three are stars but it'd be crazy if the WWE aren't currently throwing everything possible at her to get her. Mixed emotions as I'd love to see her in the WWE but as a Stardom fan I'd be more than happy to see her stay there. Win/win really.

Finn Balor will be in the Rumble. It will be his comeback match. Expect him to be in the last four.

I've heard rumours our English Rose Paige is knocked up by her Spanish Beau Alberto Del Rio.

Not sure if it's true but wouldn't be surprised, she seems crazy about him. Lucky git !

Lucky git? Sorry but Paige does nothing for me. IMO, one of the worst looking Women wrestlers ever.

If he does make it in time for the Rumble I expect him to win it.

I'm not going to open that nXt spoiler, but it's obvious what it is or you wouldn't have to spoiler it

Either Joe won or Shinsuke Nakamura won either way is just as likely at the moment as rumours are either could be moving up to the main roster soon.

But if Joe won would there need to be a spoiler for what's basically a house show event that won't air? Sorry, it's my job to work things out - DS, don't put me on the list
