I really liked that opening segment. Unnecessary long as usual but I like were this is going. I hope they give Rollins and Bryan a lot of time if they are putting Rollins over clean.

I mean I get some people don't like Ziggler and a heel Sheamus match for DB could be awesome if given enough time. But considering time restrictions, WWE not wanting Bryan in a "main event" for Mania, and the fact that D-Bry and Ziggler are probably the 2 most over dudes on the roster, I can't complain about a match between them. I hope they don't build the match around "stealing the show" though, I hate that kinda thing.

Didn't even thought about this but reading people on other boards throwing out the idea that Trips might announce another brand split. That's interesting but I'm not sure how that eases the anger from fans or fixes the "controversy" from the Rumble. Unless he just announces the creation of another title exclusive to SD! or some shit like that

The thing I don't understand is how are they gonna put Reigns title shot on the line considering he won it fairly and decidedly. The Rumble was booked so no one had any reason to bitch about being eliminated (besides just not being good enough), so after the boos the heel authority figure is just gonna retcon it and give fan favorites another chance?? Nah, I don't see it. This wont happen either but I hope it's a tournament for the next n°1 contender. And have the finals happen at Mania.

They are breaking kayfabe gratuitosly on commentary and Vince is in their ears. I'm honestly amazed by this.

I was amazed at that segment, they pretty much acknowledge this is scripted. Roman was completely right when he said there's no damn controversy, he won fair and square.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-cl=85027636&v=SioTfnUpo7M&x-yt-ts=1422503916 So Super Crazy revealed that the New Japan-NOAH relationship goes far deaper than just exchanging talent for shows. He basically said that New Japan is in charge of what gaijin will be working for NOAH and that Jado will have a major role in booking them. He compared NOAH to NXT and that the booking model will change.

Found this was interesting

So, the idea for this is "They won't push us so let's STEAL THE SHOW!"? That's maybe the worst idea for those guys yet. People aren't annoyed that these guys aren't allowed to have good matches, they have good matches all the time. WWE are confusing their crowd for a ROH crowd watching Spanky vs. Jamie Noble. Is anything going to be on the line? Even a number one contender match would work as a way for the match to actually mean something. Agreed. They should run a tournament for the next n°1 contender and held the finals at Mania with D-Bry and Dolph facing off. A 2 month build of them saying "we will steal the show!" sounds cringe worthy.

The problem with that plan is that Big Show and specially Kane barely generate any kind of heat. You can't say a plan looks good when not even on paper those two dudes will be able to generate the heat they needed for Reigns to gain something from eliminating them. It's an idea that lacks any kind of context, can't give them credit or props for that.

Probably wins after cheating or something and then he jobs at Mania to Cena

I know that's not gonna happen but it would be something else if they brought him back in January and didn't even book him for Mania

Yeah, in kayfabe he just sucked and lost. Funny thing is the best opponent for him I can think of for Mania is heel Sheamus.

Rock is like "welp, that didn't work".

They should turn Reigns. Brock is already getting babyface reactions and if they can't help but fuck over Roman by horribly booking him as a face, then turn him and at least have some fun with the boos. Hey, his real personality might show for once and he might find a legit character. I couldn't help but remember what they did with Lashley in 06' at the Elimination Chamber. The day Heyman left after Vince told him Punk and RVD where going to be the first eliminated so the crowd HAD to get behind Lashley as he was the only face left. That was 9 years ago, the lack of awareness from this company is something else sometimes. I wonder if Hunter buries creative when Austin interviews him.

December to Dismember all over again

Dolph and Ambrose will get the crowd back, but they are gonna get even more pissed when they don't win either.

That triple threat was sooo fucking fun to watch. Easy MOTYC

Very interested in how they pull it off if those odds are right.

damn, shouldn't have opened that spoiler. oh well

https://twitter.com/rejectreigns I hate fans sometimes.

Anyone else liked the Rusev/Ryback match as much as I did? Thought it was the best non-Daniel Bryan match Ryback has had.

Wow. Incredible write up. Answers a ton of questions. We were right on pretty much all of them. Bryan was taken out of the main event scene because of the Summerslam buyrate. Not really surprising but interesting to see in print. Bryan revealing Hunter wanted to work with him at Mania to finish the story. Steph revealing she has improved because she was away for awhile and got corporate boardroom experience and had a new perspective on life as a mother. This was said several times on this board. Again it seems Hunter and Steph were fighting for him against Vince WWE ended up releasing a revised Summerslam buyrate at about this time last year that showed numbers only slightly behind the big 2012 number with Brock-HHH. That didn't get much play when it was reported in the WON for reasons I never understood, as the original number set the events in motion that led to the WM30 main event. I guess he might have won it earlier had the original projected number of buys for Summerslam been accurate. Yeah. Summerslam buys went from 296,000 (the bad number) to 332,000 as the final number.

How the hell did this ended up with an image from a TV channel from Chile?

Nah. Orton is probably gonna have the biggest entrance pop at the Rumble, it'll be a nice "surprise".
