https://twitter.com/brokahontas/status/410258256171638784

Triple H goes back to his original comments, saying that this Sunday’s TLC Match is a gamechanger, since two great Champion will compete, but only one champion will leave. Triple H calls the winner of that match, the Champion of Champions. Triple H introduces the WWE Champion, while Stephanie McMahon introduces the World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena.

https://twitter.com/loveablelinds/status/410258689262493696

Triple H asks John Cena and Randy Orton to hand over their World Heavyweight Championships and WWE Championship, so they can suspend the titles over this ring. Triple H says that this is the final time we will see the WWE and World Title in the same ring.

Randy Orton tells John Cena that he knows, better than anyone, what Cena is capable of. Orton tells Cena that he also knows what he’s not capable of. Orton calls out Cena’s claim of Ruthless Aggression, and says he doesn’t have it anymore, because he didn’t put Orton in the hospital last week. Orton claims Cena will regret this decision for the rest of his life after WWE TLC. A boring chant breaks out for Randy Orton.

Randy Orton reminds John Cena of what he said about him getting lazy. Orton says he didn’t get lazy, but gets distracted by a loud boring and Daniel Bryan chants. Orton says that when you’re better than all of your peers, you lack motivation, but he has all of the motivation to beat Cena at TLC hanging right here.

Randy Orton calls John Cena out on not claiming to want to be the Face Of The WWE. Orton tells Cena that that’s a lie because image is everything to Cena. Orton tells Cena that he’s going to have to live with the image of losing to him at TLC. Loud “YES” chants start.

Randy Orton says he’s the greatest WWE Superstar of this, or any generation, then calls out Mick Foley, Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart. Orton tells Cena that this Sunday at TLC, everything that Cena has worked and fought so hard for will come crashing down all around him.

https://twitter.com/theisb/status/410259940696412161

John Cena is about to speak, but gets cut off by the boos.

John Cena reminds Randy Orton that he said the word “Work.” Cena walks over and gets Daniel Bryan.

https://twitter.com/brokahontas/status/410260340325482496

John Cena asks Daniel Bryan who he is, and where he’s from. Daniel Bryan says he’s Daniel Bryan from Aberdeen, Washington. Cena asks Bryan if his family were Hall Of Fame WWE Superstars, but Bryan tells him that his Dad was a longscaler. Cena asks Bryan if he had to work for everything he’s gotten in the WWE since coming here. Bryan responds “Yes” and the WWE Universe chants “YES!”

John Cena says the reason they cheer for Daniel Bryan is because he works hard and earns it, while a guy like Randy Orton has had everything handed to him since joining the WWE. Cena tells Randy Orton that he’s about to hit him with some truth.

John Cena tells Randy Orton that ever since he came to the WWE Training Center, he was untouchable or fired because the higher ups liked him. Cena reminds Orton that as soon as he got to the WWE, he was sheltered by Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, and to this day, he is still sheltered by them. Cena can’t believe Orton has the gall to say he’s better than everybody else in this ring.

John Cena says that Randy Orton has blamed everyone for his failures but himself. Cena brings up Randy Orton’s behavior problems, and says that Randy Orton only wants the WWE Championship because he’s selfish. Cena says that if Orton wins, he might finally be able to live up to the potential he was supposed to have 10 years ago. Cena says that every single time he has held either of his championships, his business card reads the same: If You Want Some: Come Get Some.

https://twitter.com/karaadora/status/410261186245316609
https://twitter.com/Miss_Dani_Baby/status/410260817792090112

John Cena says whether the guys in the ring like him or not, they respect him. Cena says that no one wanted to give Dolph Ziggler a chance, but Cena fought him. Cena reminds everyone that he also gave opportunities to CM Punk and Daniel Bryan. Cena tells Daniel Bryan that if he wins on Sunday, he looks forward to having a fair rematch with Bryan.

https://twitter.com/khristheunicorn/status/410261430643216384

John Cena tells Randy Orton that’s what a championship is all about is respect. Cena didn’t take Orton out last week because he wanted to make a statement: He can be just as brutal as Orton. Cena tells Randy Orton that he’s going to make one more statement: This Sunday is going to be ruthless and brutal, but Cena will be at his best. Cena hopes Orton will too, because the last thing anyone wants to deal with is another Randy Orton excuse.

John Cena wishes Randy Orton luck on Sunday, then offers to shake his hand. Orton shakes Cena’s hands as the belts are raised. Orton cheapshots Cena and the two start brawling. The Superstars try to break them up.

CM Punk tries to hold Randy Orton back, but Orton pushes CM Punk away. CM Punk punches Randy Orton. Triple H pushes CM Punk off, but Punk gets back up and starts punching Triple H.

So That Happened: #RAW Recap (12/02/13)

Posted on December 3, 2013 by keepitfivestar

Jerry Lawler reveals the results of the Undisputed Championship Poll:

https://twitter.com/adamlucidi/status/407719567742337024

John Cena vs. Randy Orton: Undisputed Championship Contract Signing:

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon come down to the ring.

https://twitter.com/clparty/status/407719724781678592

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon hype the importance of the WWE/WHC Unification Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match at TLC. Stephanie McMahon says there will be one winner, and guarantees one Undisputed, Unified Champion. Stephanie McMahon introduces the WWE Champion, Randy Orton.

StephOrton90s_3MB

Stephanie McMahon introduces the World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena.

Stephanie McMahon mocks Randy Orton’s comments of being “bigger than the WWE.”

Triple H talks about the history of the WWE Championship, then lists multiple great champions such as: Buddy Rogers, Bruno Sammartino, Bob Backlund, Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock. Stephanie McMahon adds Triple H’s list to the name.

https://twitter.com/InstantRandy/status/407721288598159360

Triple H does the same thing for the World Heavyweight Championship, listing: Karl Gotch, Lou Thez, Pat O’Connor, Harley Race, Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, The Undertaker, and Shawn Michaels. Stephanie McMahon adds Triple H’s name to the list…again.

Triple H tells John Cena and Randy Orton that unifying the WWE/WHC was not a spur of the moment decision, or based off John Cena’s suggestion. The Authority contemplated this for a long time. The Authority wanted two champions that they knew could continue on as the Face Of The WWE. Triple H tells Cena and Orton that they have both earned their place in history, but now they have a chance to cement their legacy forever. After Cena and Orton sign the contracts, Stephanie McMahon gives them the opportunity to speak about the match.

https://twitter.com/InstantRandy/status/407722163282513920

Randy Orton agrees with Triple H, saying that the WWE Championship was held by greats, but Orton knows that he’s better than all of them, including Triple H. Orton tells Triple H that the two of them and the WWE Universe have something in common: They don’t like John Cena very much. Randy Orton claims that he’s the only one capable of beating John Cena, and at TLC, he will walk out as the WWE Champion.

John Cena jokingly tries to introduce himself to Randy Orton, but Orton tells Cena that he knows who he is, then tells the WWE Universe to shut up. Orton reminds Cena of their history, and about kicking Cena’s Father in the head. Orton says since then, he has been making a hell of a career for himself, destroying the hopes and dreams of others, turning them into the nightmares and claims he will do the same to John Cena at TLC. Randy Orton says there’s a reason they call him the Apex Predator, and despite all of John Cena’s achievements and accomplishments, the only reason Cena was put on God’s Green Earth was to lose the biggest match of his life. John Cena tells him to shut up, then mocks Orton’s “dreams into nightmares” line.

John Cena tells Randy Orton that the only dream that he turned into a nightmare was Triple H’s. Cena says 10 Years Ago, Triple H tried to teach Orton how to become a success in the WWE, but Orton never lived up to his potential…EVER. Cena doesn’t fault Triple H because he saw what we all saw: The most gifted WWE Superstar ever. Cena claims that because of that, Orton got cocky, a bad attitude, and then got lazy.

John Cena says that Randy Orton had all the tools in the world, including Hall Of Fame Mentors, but instead, he allowed a guy like Cena to surpass him. Cena says he is not like Randy Orton. He is John Cena, who has never been asked to be called the Face Of Anything. He’s just the first to show up and the last to leave. Cena talks about Randy Orton’s self-entitlement, claiming that Orton thinks he’s owed everything. Cena tells Orton to think in one hand, crap in the other, and see which one fills up first.

https://twitter.com/WellYoureWrong/status/407723092048236544

John Cena tells Randy Orton that he was given the WWE Championship, while Cena earned it. Cena says that if Randy Orton wants to take anything from him, he will have to earn it. Cena says he is not an Apex Predator. He’s just John Cena, and right now Orton is pushing John Cena’s buttons.

John Cena tells Randy Orton that he has one of two options: He could either leave or make a move. Cena tells Orton that if Orton does decide to make a move, the WWE Universe will be reminded of what a TLC Match is. If Orton decides to make a move, Cena will bend a steel chair over his back, hit him with a ladder and put him through a table.

Santa With Muscles: Art Prints

Posted on December 2, 2013 by 3mbooth
In Santa with Muscles, ThreeManBooth talks about Wrestling related
items that may make great gifts during this Holiday Season.

We’ve been showcasing members of The IWC, the Illustrated Wrestling Community, and the various art styles to admire. During the Holiday Season, a lot of artists make their work even more available as part of Black Friday / Cyber Monday promotions. Places like Bottleneck Gallery regularly have exhibits with several artists’ interpretations of the same topic. The theme of one exhibit was “I Love You Man.” Artist Darrin Shock took that to create a portrait of “The Family,” another name for Bobby Heenan’s collection of wrestlers also known as the Brain Trust:

while Artist Chris Koehler took the same theme and made it about the Roddy Piper, Keith David cult-classic They Live:

3MB_Bottleneck_ChrisKoehlerTheyLive

Not only are these both available at Bottleneck Gallery part of their end of the year sale, but they also have non-wrestling artwork available, appealing to people on your shopping list. We’re not saying you need to pick up something from the 3NES Exhibit, a tribute to Nintendo’s beginning and its 3 principle tent-poles – Super Mario Bros, the Legend of Zelda and Metroid – but … actually, that’s exactly what we’re saying. Go get some.

3MB_ElJefeDesigns_WitnessTheFallofMankind

Another artist with some wrestling themed artwork on sale is El Jefe Design. Unfortunately, the picture above, “Witness the Fall of Mankind,” is no longer available (Sorry about that). It was originally created for a exhibit on the Greatest Moments in Sports at Gallery1988 (who is also having an end of the year sale). However, El Jefe’s love of pro wrestling didn’t end with King of the Ring 1998; he incorporated wrestling elements into some of his other designs. His “Baseball Fury” / “Come Out and Play” print, exclusive to New York Comic Con 2013 includes CM Punk’s signature taped hands with red X’s on them. A poster for a Rancid / Transplants concert bears the same taped hands and CM Punk’s GTS logo on the jacket of the character’s design. Both the bands and the wrestler are fans of each other. However, our favorite design of his might be the Lucha Library:

3MB_ElJefeDesigns_Lucha Library

An A to Z print with a luchador for each letter of the alphabet is a very useful idea. It’s a reference guide for the world of lucha libre and its distinctive luchador masks. It also is a learning tool for any young wrestling fans just starting to learn the English language. While we would prefer it if P was for Psicosis instead of Pandito, we understand: the silent P is a bit advanced and confusing on a poster. Plus, the print does have L for La Parka; the Chairman of WCW would approve.

Be sure to check out Bottleneck Gallery, Gallery 1988 and El Jefe Design for cool deals on artwork. Follow them on Facebook also; both Bottleneck and El Jefe Design will be announcing additional designs there that you will want to be first in line to grab.
