They could and prob will get something out of Cena despite the injury. I know one way they could use him to keep Reigns favorable.

"But, again, we have seen so many other Malenko copycats with maybe the same mat skill, grace and fluidity..." Who for Americans? Roderick Strong and Kurt Angle are who come to mind but they aren't at his level for me in terms of blending offensive finesse, variety, explosiveness, reaction and pacing. I haven't seen anyone in the US like him in 20 years. I'm mainly thinking of all his work with Rey when arguing this.

Crazy how Vince was just running down Reigns about Sika a few weeks back. This would have been perfect for the whole chew you up and spit you out talk. RCS did you have any luck with that new stuff you were expecting

And the fact Owens was the guy in there with Reigns on Monday while everyone else was on the outside, that felt like it further legitimized him some more as well. It might not to us but I can see it being interpreted that way if I was younger.

I'm thinking down the road, not for Mania. I agree a Brock match would come out of nowhere right now. But he will be perceived as formidable in the near future if he just stays the course he's on. He seems like he has a growing following. Those 10 min matches with midcarders are the same matches everyone else has, so it comes down to the strength of his character. And it seems like he has more strength there than all those other guys that are in those same matches. There are a bunch more kids with his shirt and signs it's looked like. It feels like they are heating him up in the sense that they are giving him the space to act fed up, whereas he never was after the Cena losses but should have been. Things have built from that. The way they shot the table powerbomb on Ambrose was a stand out moment I think. It was shot with the camera from the ground up. Just something different that added to it. I could be wrong but I feel like the Wyatt return in the Rollins vs Ambrose hell in a cell did enough for Wyatts perception regardless of the matches themselves that followed. It was different too.

But it goes back to being a young fan. Size doesn't matter. And there's probably enough kids that want that as a big time match.

Lesnar vs Owens is so ridiculous for size differential. Bryan is booked as a small dude. Owens isn't and it would look like a joke. They would have to make him a chair swinging madman for it to work

I think it's stuff that's we've seen, can see, or know exists that has never been on YouTube/DM or no longer is on YouTube/DM.I jacked the thread but have since edited out the vaulted stuff mentioned. The topic is stuff in circulation but not online.

-A couple Flair WWF 92-93 handhelds vs. Bret and vs. Hennig, and the Flair SWS 6Man tag. -Bunch of Japan tags and ECW handhelds with Benoit/Guerrero/Malenko/Jericho. -WAR 6 30 94 six man tag tourney -ECW November to Remember 94 handheld (event never released on tape and Malenko vs Taz never even aired clipped on TV, nor did Benoit-Sabu aftermath. Austin was also announced during show as coming in for a tag the next month ith Douglas vs Simmons and Scorpio) Odds and ends... -Pillman's last WCW TV match. Aired on Worldwide after SuperBrawl. Was in March while he was in ECW. They didn't even mention him once even while he was in the ring. Don't think the 96 season set has been online ever. -Liger vs Guerrero from WCW Main Event 10-1-95. Was temporarily on WWE.com before the network was ever launched but it's a dead link now and was only up for a few months to begin with. The original is out there on a Liger in WCW comp but is a broken record for me. Can never come up with it. -Konnan vs Jake from AAA in a cage and Owen vs Pat Rose from WCW Worldwide also. 91 season set not online, just random episodes I believe.

Danielson-Devitt was one for a while but that just went up this summer.

Austin vs Goldberg and Austin vs Hogan are up there. I think if they did Brock vs Cena at Summerslam instead of so quick that it would have been big for network subs, since you can't really use the word buyrate anymore. Could have sold out a LA stadium too instead of running Staples, plus more of the fanfest axxess revenue and other events they've built Summerslam weekend up to be. It could have given them like a second Mania money wise that year.

Rock-Brock to me has maybe biggest 'box office' potential of any match ever. Tons of mainstream appeal. I'd say would have been even bigger at 29 or 30 than it would be now, based on both of them having more recently returned from Hollywood and UFC. But now with it being in that new big ass Dallas stadium like Mayweather-Pacquio was supposed to have been with that huge 40-yard HD 4K video scoreboard or whatever it is , I think it could be just as big as it would have been a few years back. They don't even have to run it as the closer and could go with Taker-Cena on last as well as Reigns-HHH as another 'main event' match in there somewhere. But they could easily go the other direction and do Brock-Reigns II and Rock-HHH. If Rock-Brock doesn't happen, what else compares similarly where it was maybe possible didn't go through? Hogan vs Stallone or Austin vs Tyson? Also what about big ones in the wrestling bubble that never went through, like Hogan-Flair at 8. Bret vs Hogan at Starrcade 98 maybe. Punk vs. Austin could have been big at 29 or 30.

I could go for Brock-Sheamus-ReIgns at the Rumble

Rollins vs Cena why not fuck it Adds to the delusion of the character and trolls the crowd

Pillman vs Bagwell from Main Event Aug95 pre-Clash. Jericho vs Storm is a good back and forth opener from One Night Stand. Michaels vs Foley from RAW Aug97 Sabu vs Alex Wright from Nitro Sept95

Imagine how interested he would be in lucha if he had the DVDVR 80s set. Tell me Will did not just bust out an IMAGINE

Balor, Bryan, Angle, or BIFF

Can anyone sum up what is on the network in terms of what the majority of versions of shows are on there - original live PPV vs. commercial tape/DVD releases? I went back to the early pages of the thread and read some bits about Steamboat's and Hogan's music. I was curious about stuff like backstage bits and Superstar Line footage being on there or not.
