It was very interesting tonight hearing the crowd pop so loudly for Bryan on the first segment, then be very fired up for him on the main event. But when he mentioned beating Reigns at Fast Lane he got a mixed response. It's gonna be a pain in the ass for WWE hearing fans support Roman on house shows and most TV shows but then get booed like crazy on PPVs (where there are way more hardcore fans) and "smark cities". I like they are addressing the elephant in the room though. I much rather them booking Reigns vs Bryan and make it seem like Roman is worth a damn by beating him and going to Mania. It wont stop the boos for WM weekend but I think it could payoff on the long run. I also like that they finally decided to go all in with the "loner/pissed character that barely talks" with Reigns.

Well the question was should she be in the HOF, and he was trying to put it as nicely as possible that while she deserves to be in, they can't because because let's say some kid who doesn't know who she is looks her up online they're gonna find porn and overdoses. Wouldn't the same happen with Sunny though?

It got better near the end but HHH barely answered any question. Can't say I'm shocked about it but I thought Austin could've pushed him way more early on, he let him ramble and change the subject way too much. It was nice to confirm that Dunn's ass is out of there the minute Vince steps aside or passes away though.

Austin had the question right there when HHH started talking about guys getting over only with some demographics. Bryan is liked by all of them. Steve has let Hunter ramble waaaay too much.

Amazing how Hunter cant keep a single train of thought.

Man if Kane interferes and costs Bryan the match... :lol:

Ok, that was beyond moronic. I thought this is all meant to make Reigns "earn" his shot by beating people and you make him job to the fucking Big Show.

Eh, Reigns is getting a lot of support. He'll get Cena'd on PPVs but not on house shows/TV.

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.
