WWE/AEW & General Wrestling Thread

[TCD]

Going to have to start a predictions thread soon because this Mania has one thing going for it. Who knows what the **** is going to happen while guys like Reigns can't get over with the fans. I just can't see creative fucking up and putting that strap on Reigns as a face while he just can not get over. If they couldn't get Reigns over by now they aren't going to be able to do it at Mania or after. He has to go heal or Rollins has to cash in if Brock isn't re-signing. It's all going to come down to Brocks contract. That's the only thing making the main event interesting..not the match itself.

Yah its called a Rollins cash in because after tonight it sounded like fans didnt want either of these guys holding the strap. I was shocked by the quiet response for Brock..expected the boos for Reigns..but man Brock usually gets bigger pops than that. Maybe the fans were tired from the shitty show leading up to that point? I think fans are tired of the non fighting and appearing champion myself as they should be. Nothing against Brock himself if he had a larger appearance contract this mania build up could have been done better. Vince fucked up yet again.

Rollins for the save at Mania..that's my only hope.

Dirtsheets have said for a month that Rollins will be waiting right behind the curtain... if the match is going terribly or both competitors are getting booed, they will end the match quickly and send rollins out to save it and cash in.

I could live with a Rollins cash in if the Beast is leaving.

I was thinking we should do a predictions game using the confidence points system. But I really wasn't sure if there should be bonus questions and things like that. ...

Makes sense. There has never been a cash in attempt in Mania history either so it could make for a ground breaking historical moment. Would put Rollins in the history books. Lots of good could come in from a cash in. So that does indeed make the main event more unpredictable. Vince clearly wants to put the strap on a face Reigns but he is not in very dangerous territory. HHH has some talking to do with Vince!!

Yah me too. I can't live with a face Reigns championship. I could a heel Reigns if Heyman took him and spoke for him. Those are the only two options I want as I do think Brock is going back to make his one last MMA run before he completely loses his body (and he is losing it he didn't look in his best shape tonight). That's not to say I can't see Brock coming back to the WWE once again in the future but I bet he wants his last MMA run and why wouldn't he? I am not an MMA fan but I have seen his matches in UFC and they were a curious draw for me a non MMA/UFC guy and another one would be again. I think the UFC fan base wants it again also am I right or wrong? And I think the casual UFC spectator/WWE fan would be drawn into a Brock UFC card at this time also. Would be madness not for the UFC to grab him again and pay him handsome. It's good timing.

If Brock went back to UFC, I could see him going against Mir, Nelson, and maybe Overeem. No way he would get a title shot with Cain or even JDS, unless he has been at Tristar working with the guys who train GSP in Canada. I'm a huge Lesnar mark, and not sure going back to the UFC would be the best choice for him. Not sure one last payday against Mir would be what he could make with WWE. Be interesting to see what happens.

WWE really shit the bed last night. I actually found the show pretty solid, the best RAW they've had on the road to WM. But the ending ruined everything. Face-to-face, Reigns vs Lesnar. Zero words. No fighting. Just two grown men fighting over a belt like two women fighting over the last purse on sale at Lord & Taylor.

Heyman just stated to the audience what it was going to take to defeat Lesnar (e.g relating the belt to food on his plate for his family or whatever). Damn, Lesnar ain't going to give this belt up easily. Shit, Heyman by this point has me believing Lesnar will never give up the belt, ever. Here comes Reigns. Easily takes the belt outta Lesnar's hands and hoists it up in front of him. Wow Brock Lesnar, the Beast Incarnate, doesn't get pissed and knocks him out? Dude, he just disrespected you.

**** Vince. I know he did not want to make either walk into WM w/ more momentum than the other but come on... a small brawl with both of them would have sufficed. It makes it worse that no words were exchanged either. We still don't know why Reigns wants the belt so bad. All we hear from him is his stupid Samoan family. If Reigns walks away as champion this Sunday, I hope the fans burn Levi's Stadium to the ground.

Also, all hail Bray Wyatt. "My tongue is the sword of truth, and it cuts through the deception of everything in your world." PLEASE MAKE THIS MAN WWE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD.

Lesnar resigns multiyear deal with WWE.

Lesnar resigns multiyear deal with WWE.

Yup, beat me to it. Great news. Rumor has it that HHH was pushing hard for this, and for him to retain the championship at WM. We shall see but my faith has been restored.... for now. Lesnar's odds of retaining definitely increased. I expect the WM crowd to go ballistic for him this Sunday, and deafen Reigns with boos.

German suplex's for all.

I know its a long shot and wont happen but im throwing it out there for shits and giggles. Samoa Joes commitment with ROH is done this Thursday and he is inked with WWE. HHH says he wants Joe to hit the main roster right away. Will he make a showing at Mania? Probably not but never say never.

Ps im not a big Joe fan myself even though he does have a kick ass strong style move set and can move for a bog man. I hate his promo style though so that is something that i would like to see fixed somehow. Will be interesting to see how they book joe and what they do with him. I could certainly see a joe/ brock future match somewhere down the road. I have said it before also i woyldnt put it past the wwe to form a samoan fraction with reigns, the usos and joe. Just food for fodder.

Im looking forward to post wwe mania. I think this will be a historic year for the company and wrestling. Somethings brewing and i think hhh is going to start making some big noise within the company and the business. Roster size is increasing, nxt keeps getting bigger and better, the indys overall are getting stronger, tna apparently is getting good ( i havent watched it). May be an upward swing coming. Vince still has to die though

Lol that was awesome i will admit even though that match as a wrestling match blew. Was nice to see cena just get destroyed unlike anything i have ever seen.

After last nights debacle, I put the Network on and rewatched that match. It never gets old watching Cena get rag dolled, and hearing Lesnar say DIE DIE.

OHHHHHHHHHHHH MARK OUT TIME!!!!!

I just heard a juicy rumour that The Briscoe Brothers from ROH are very very close and expected to sign with WWE and will go to NXT sometime within the next couple months.

I AM A HUGE BRISCOE BROTHERS MARK!! If nobody has ever seen them go youtube them. This is the team that will save the WWE tag team division. Only thing I am concerned with is these guys are going to be difficult to censor. But if used right I am fucking excited!! Steen now the Briscoes? HHH is hitting home runs with grabbing some of the Indy's best. ROH continues to pump out great talent which the WWE keeps taking. Bad for ROH fans good for NXT and WWE fans.

BRISCOES!!!

So currently Taker and Sting are both scheduled to be at RAW on Monday.

Dirt sheets are saying Taker is going to come out to announce his retirement only to be interrupted by Sting (possible Sting heel turn) and they will staredown... setting up for WM32.

 

[Shawon0Meter]

The only Undertaker match that will have me truly excited would be a Brock Lesnar re-match. Tomorrow's match and a possible Sting match will have some cool factor to it....but only so much.
