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".

The Ascension vs The New Age Outlaws added for the Royal Rumble. I guess we know when Will is gonna take a piss break

With Kane and Big Show already having segments and Rollins in the title match on Sunday. I wonder if they are stupid enough to put Cena against Rusev for free without any promotion.

I think they made him job to sell the idea he might lose on Thursday against Kane and lose his Rumble spot. It's WWE short term booking 101.

cool bro thanks for telling us that there was no finish So we can talk about what happens on RAW with no spoilers but we have to spoiler tag SD! even when the show is on? My bad I guess.

Pretty good all things considered. It was an ok match but he was with Kane on a TV match with no finish so no big deal.

Good to see Bryan doing a crossbody instead of that damn top rope dropkick. Damn, first show back and they already have him working double duty.

That's too meta. The heat would to on the company and not Rollins. It will be yet another 'See how WWE fucks everything up!" and not "Gee! That Rollins guy is a good-for-nothing bastard. I hope Bryan gives him what's coming to him!". I think most people would be exited to see a long Bryan/Rollins program. Don't think there would be a lot of "fuck WWE" heat if Seth cashed in on DB.

So Savage is finally getting inducted into the WWE HOF. They'll announce it tonight.

I don't think Misawa ever booked NOAH. Akiyama was the booker most of (all?) the time before Misawa passed. Then it was Marufuji? Damn can't remember.

The wink from Roman after the "that's not easy to say" was a nice touch. Dude knows what's going on, he'll be fine eventually. But they gotta stop this smooth talker-war machine/superman-cool dude triple persona they have for him right now. It's just another reason why they should have more patience with him and let him develop more before giving him the Cena push.

I don't think anyone can be bearable for more than a month with the way Vince micromanages the commentary on every show.
