WWE Hell in a Cell Discussion Thread - October 2, 2011 from New Orleans, LA

Or "World's best wrestler/ jobber" with the wrestler being stricken out and jobber being "hand written" in another color below it.

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

That's my point, they started building him as a submission expert, and it's just kinda evaporated into the ether. I didn't mean the shirt specifically, it was meant more as a "what happened to Daniel Bryan, submission expert"?

 

He's still a submission expert, he's always been a submission expert. He has a shirt that says "Submission Wrestling". He just happened to never used the NXT line again.

 

The reason why you dont see him submit people anymore is that he's always jobbing. His problem is being jobbed (and Cole), not the tshirts.

[dsrchris 190]

I didn't word that very well at all. I meant the same thing, Bryan should already be getting built up ready to cash in, but he's been jobbed out for the last 2 months. I don't think I've seen him even attempt the LaBell Lock for a fair few weeks now. Remember when he used to lock it on from nowhere, and had reversal for everything?

 

It's like they're testing Bryan to see what he'll put up with. What's up with WWE not being able to push old Indy guys without making making them look like an a*shat for a year first?

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

Well yeah, if your point is "Bryan is a jobber", then sure, I'm there. But thats got nothing to do with his gimmick.

[dsrchris 190]

I'm hoping it's all part of the plan. Like, Bryan threatens to cash in on Henry (or whoever), and they're all "bitch please, you haven't won a match in months". Then BAM! Bryan makes him submit.

 

I'm really hoping they do one of those awesome promo-y bits where Henry tries to attack Bryan and ends up getting caught in a submission and tapping. I love that kind of thing, especially if commentary sell it properly (which is doubtful with Cole).

[Guest Springsteen]

I know Kam usually makes a thread exclusive to this question but.....

 

Is anyone buying this? :lol

 

I think I'll just watch it online.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Is anyone buying this?

 

Yes, it's only £14.95 and I'm off Monday.

[Guest The GS]

He's still a submission expert, he's always been a submission expert. He has a shirt that says "Submission Wrestling". He just happened to never used the NXT line again.

Yeah Cole is killing Bryan. Sad thing is, they're Vince's petty insults.

[Guest Dave7g]

I'm sure the three way will be ok, but I have no interest in it. Really bad build ruined by those horrible "you're going straight to HELL", "I've been through HELL", "Being champion is HELL", promos. Plus the HIAC matches are always quite long and the thoughts of Mark Henry in a long match are suicidal. Skippable.

[Guest theshark]

the viper strikes

 

Randy will take the show as always( just like 501 ) mark henry doesnt have the charisma or style let alone raw wrestling talent to even stand in the same room as Orton so when this situation comes to fruition rko will be the last man standing

From Wrestling 101:

 

Hell . Cell. Two words that you’re probably more than familiar with (especially if you watched this week’s Raw). Satan’s Playground. Constructed by the devil himself from 5 tonnes of steel. Some of my favourite moments have come from Hell in a Cell matches, so will they be added to on Sunday night?

 

With only a two week build, surely we can’t be expecting too much of Hell in a Cell…can we? You wouldn’t think so, but we’ve already been proven wrong on more than one occasion this year. Add to that the fact that most of these matches are simply continuations of stories I’ve already been enjoying for the last month or so, and I think we could be on to another winner here.

 

Lets take a look…

Yeah, the hell puns always annoy the hell out of me every year.

 

I've had a love/hate relationship with the last couple of year's Hell in a Cell Matches. Also, I still miss the old Hell in a Cell structure.

 

I am intrigued on how the Triple Threat Hell in a Cell Match will be, but John Cena will more than likely retain. Though a lengthy reign as champion for CM Punk would be nice.

 

The Hell in a Cell Match between Mark Henry and Randy Orton can either be tolerable or horrible, but I have been impressed with Mark Henry's work as the champion thus far. I'm hoping for some awesomely destructive spots by Henry. I do see Orton regaining the title to keep the feud going with Henry potentially winning it back at Vengeance.

 

My first instinct for a prediction for the Sheamus vs. Christian match is, "who cares?", but in the interest of making a prediction, I will say Sheamus.

 

Are you ready for a stupid and really easy joke? I predict that Sin Cara will win, :lol

 

I'm not so much interested in the Sin Cara vs. Sin Cara match as I am in what will happen when the "dark" Cara loses? The guy is quite good in the ring and on the mic, so I hope they make a place for him to stay on the main roster.

 

I'm hoping for a Beth Phoenix title win as I am sick of seeing Kelly Kelly getting pushed. Truth is that I won't really be interested in anything Diva related until Kharma returns.

[Guest Dante Spears]

I can see Belty jumping up and down in joy at the return of the classic IC belt

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

Anybody actually watch this?

 

Because, I dont know if you noticed, but MARK HENRY is still your World's Heavyweight Champion of the World.

[DC 536]

Yeah, the hell puns always annoy the hell out of me every year.

Thing is though; puns like these aren't a recent concept in WWE. Going back to the early days of Survivor Series, there were puns galore in the run up to that event.
