It's their fault they don't have another dude they can rely on to draw with the IC belt though. Why not give it to Ibushi who has proven to be a draw for them and let him have long run with it? Hell there's a nice story between him and Nakamura as passing of the torch type of thing that could be done in the Dome. Instead they put him with the NEVER title, make him job and we get ANOTHER Goto/Nakamura match. New Japan booking is as conservative and unimaginative as WWE's and we shit on WWE all the time because of it. And it's frustrating because they have an awesome roster that they keep wasting in the same feuds over and over again.

Ru Day might be one of greatest factions in decades with just 1 match, an unrelated youtube channel and a couple of twitter interactions.

At this point I think Brock is winning it. Not anymore I hope.

It's gonna be hilarious when Kane interferes in Taker vs Brock at HIAC too

HAHAHAHA

Someone has to tell Seth to stop doing that fucking superplex/falcon arrow spot. Fucking hate that shit.

YES! No Brock vs Taker at Mania And that Go To Hell "Tour" looks fun as hell.

Ah, I see. Had no idea about Jimmy Uso. I just remember reading Orton got taken out by the Wyatts a couple of RAWs ago and thought he was going to be the third man.

Isn't Orton kind of a lock to be the mystery partner?

Table for 3 with New Day was really fun.

Bryan's book directly contradicts this, he said Shawn came to training all the time. You mean his WWE book? Of course he is going to say that now after that becoming part of the story in 2013. But seek out his interviews before then and that directly contradicts his book. Not really, if IIRC Bryan used to say that most of the in ring stuff were taught by Ruddy Boy Gonzalez, something that he also mentions in his book. Shawn oversaw stuff and got them bookings, he very rarely stepped in the ring (like the story were he tried teaching them how to take a backdrop and his mom scolding him for getting in the ring). As time has gone by, Bryan has talked more about how important Shawn was in pushing him and Kendrick and getting them gigs, but he's always been clear about his "real" teacher being Regal.

How long can she be out if she is just out there as a valet though?

I saw a graphic from WWE.com that gad Baron fuckinc Corbin as the mystery partner. No clue if it was just photoshopped though. I hope so at least because were Isaw said they took the graphic down quick.

Rowan had a November return date last I read. Unless he had a Cena-like recovery I don't think it's him, though it makes the most sense I guess.

Yeah, I don't see the crowd that's booing him buying into a reboot of his character. Specially if he's dominating, hell they are gonna resent him (well, WWE) even more. I think they are at a point of no return with him as a face with that audience. It's either turn him heel or go the Cena route.

So much can go wrong going that route, I don't see any scenario were WWE actually goes for it (on purpose at least). A heel turn is way less risky.

That sounds great on paper but the audience that boos him is gonna see that as an indication that WWE is "pushing him (even further) down our throats" and keep resenting him, maybe even more. At this point I'm not sure some fans boo him because it's the new troll/fun/cool thing to do or because no matter what they do with him, he's always gonna be seen as WWE's next golden boy after what happened early in the year, so he's gonna get boos as a constant "fuck you" to the company regardless of his position on the card. I thought that if he kept having good to great matches as he's been having and kept improving on the mic and as character - as he's been doing since February - the crowd would eventually give up and realize how good he is and stop booing. But at this point I have to think I was dead wrong. The best way to go would be what Jingus said. It would be interesting to see if they go that route because that was what they refused to do with Cena in the mid-00's.

I always thought the 08' Survival Tag against Kensuke Office was legitimately great and a forgotten gem.

They were still doing it in house shows though. So apparently Paige got pissed at the crowd for disrespecting the divas match and tweeted about it. The Bellas too.

Rollins wins more than usual since he's a HHH protege, but he's a vulnerable heel champ. Neville is a threat to him, let alone Sting. True. But they do love running the "main heel against all odds" angle.

If in theory every title has to be defended at NOC. Maybe Rollins faces Cena early for the US belt so they can sell the idea that Sting is gonna beat a tired Seth?

Couldn't care less for Sting tbh. At some point I though "something big" was going to be the name of the dude that joined the Wyatts. Oh well, at least I wont have to sit through 3 hours of RAW for a while.

welp...

Are they turning Big Show AGAIN?
