Not a good night for Lillian Garcia.

I think Matt Striker had built up a name for himself on the Indies too.

Who had WWE signed by 2005 who were big names in ROH? I can think of London and Kendrick. Kazarian had a contract for like two months. Who else?

Evidently, even as bad as it looks and how everyone here got hung up on the spot posted above, Samoa Joe hasn't bothered to ever mention it on his list of serious injuries. WWE signed KENTA last year in spite of him being 34 and not living up to his potential since 2008 (I wish him all the best, but it's showing, IMO). Joe's the same age and has looked better in recent months than he did a few years ago. I wouldn't be gobsmacked if WWE sent him to NXT. Others may disagree. Regardless, I think this will be a good thing for Joe.

I agree it should be fun. I just remember people here immediately shiting on the idea when it was first brought up maybe a month ago.

Do my eyes deceive me or am I actually seeing people on PWO get excited for Cena vs. Rusev?

In 2011, Steve Austin was quoted as saying "I could still wrestle for two years at about 90-95 percent of what I used to give."I should have included Steve meant "90-95%" on the full time schedule as well, which helped add fuel to the "Austin's coming back for Mania" fire that's been burning for quite a few years now. Agreed and with the right opponent and story I wouldn't rule WM 32 in Dallas at all (not that Steve would admit it).

Thankyou for pointing that out, Alucard. I can't believe a post with that many half truths wasn't immediately stomped on and put out. Also forgetting Hunter definitively lost all of those matches with Bryan and the Shield,and he hasn't won anything since.

You ask stupid questions, you get stupid answers.

I've been thinking, and I honestly believe the only halfway decent outcome that could possibly come from this is if at Mania we have: Daniel Bryan vs. The Rock. - Dwayne turns heel for the show, against the only guy the audience will conceivably root against him for. Bryan goes over clean. Roman Reigns with Paul Heyman vs. Brock Lesnar for the WWE belt. I know some here are down on Heyman being paired with anyone other than Brock, but that's really not giving him enough credit. Paul's runs with Hennig Jr and Cesaro didn't work because they obviously weren't designed to go anywhere in the long run. Paul isn't to blame for that, IMO. Reigns is another deal altogether. We know Vince is 110% behind him and is intent on rocketing him to the moon immediately. The beauty of the whole thing is the crowd is naturally turning both Brock and Reigns anyway. Lesnar is also leaving and Paul needs a new meal ticket. Lucky for Paul, Roman needs a mouthpiece desperately especially if he is to survive the Summer. Provided they set Roman up with opponents who can lead him through longer matches (they can get at least a couple of fun PPV singles out of Rollins and Bryan. You could bring Jericho back too), there isn't any reason why this rushed push couldn't go smoothly. Edit: Total brain dump there. Just can't see any other fun outcomes if I'm being honest. I still think I would rather just see Brock-Bryan.

I know he's a terrific heel. I just don't think anyone has any interest in booing Daniel Bryan right now.

That sounds really awful.

Man, WWE had Bryan vs. Brock right fucking there. Now even if they scramble and begrudgingly put Bryan in the top spot, chances are it wont be nearly as fun as what could have been. Ugh.

I'll admit I'm disappointed. Ambrose isn't a sufficient consolation prize. edit: too late. Yaaaay...

Big Show and Sheamus as 29 and 30.

Whats with the Jeff Jarrett hate? This has been fun, by the way.

Is Adam Rose wearing a Bullet Club shirt?

The six man tag will be fun if given time. Adam Rose is the only entry in the match I don't care for. "Worst of all time." Come on now.

Prediction: Finn Balor enters No 2 and immediately eliminates Big Show. Lasts till the final four.

Yeah, I thought Sami staying down there for another year was iffy. He'd have to be a front runner to debut some time in the summer.

Wouldn't letting a former full-time pornstar in the Hall of Fame be a PR disaster?

As a novice to Japanese wrestling, where would Zero-1 fit on the scale of things over there?

Dusty headlined that year, Chief. Hennig was semi-main with Lawler and JR.

I would agree with that.
