If Bryan wins (are all indications that he will? He has to, right?) a unification program with whomever the US Champ is could be great. Reigns is likely going to be struggling on top, and saddling him with Big Show does him no favors, but at least a potential Cena or Rusev vs Bryan program underneath would make for a match to get excited for. I doubt that the belt would stay "elevated" for long, but it's something. I have heard others say this, as well, but if it's me and I am dead-set on pushing Reigns as hard as I can, Rusev beats Cena and turns Bryan into a puddle of goo before the beast killer Roman Reigns dispatches of another monster. We'd all hate it, of course, and I don't envision it happening. More likely, Reigns wins at Mania with a poor reaction, the Show feud dies a death, they half-ass his push and he winds up just another guy before 2016.

I actually thought Sabin was pretty good when I watched BOLA a couple weeks ago, too.

So sad. RIP.

Just wants to make towns and draw money.

Was just thinking the same thing.

For fucks sake, WCW no longer exists...who cares if they get attention...they own fucking WCW!! If this is true, the issues run way deeper than I ever imagined. That guy is full of shit.

Wow.

Was thinking the same thing. The hits just keep coming.

Yes!!!

I saw Loss say in the WWE thread that Dave ran with this story, so I do stand corrected in this case. In general, I feel the same, though.

Whoa!

For sure, at it's core. Just that Twitter seems to make it easier for that stuff to propagate and gain traction.

This is an awesome surprise.

The fact that there is precisely zero evidence to back it up, but people will believe it because they want to since it fits the Daniel Bryan narrative. It's just wrestling, but it's still stupid.

Stupid shit like that.

I hate Twitter.

That one post made me feel like watching all of that stuff again. The Dutch/Lawler stuff is some of my favorite, and Lance Russell is as brilliant as ever during it.

Baszler really hurt this match for me. These teams are my two favorites and they have had several outstanding matches, but I'd put this on the lower end. By no means was it bad, but Baszler being there was just pointless and was a negative when she had to get involved because she was wooden and lacked any sort of feel for what she was supposed to be doing. Any Bucks/reDRagon match probably would start with a baseline 4* for me. I had this one at 3 1/4*.

Absolutely hilarious. I want to set up a blood feud between this guy and my man Johnny Sorrow. Perfect opponents. That would be an epic encounter.

Dylan was on fire here. Great stuff.

Haha. Nope. He also has a podcast (I initially heard of him when he was on Wrestlespective with Jason Mann - whom I like) here: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/international-object-podcast It features the kind if douchiness you'd expect from a podcast that is touted as a "documentation of the aggressive arts."

Stroud is a great call. There's also a guy who ran in the same circles called K. Sawyer Paul that did/does (?) the same pseudo-intellectual schtick, but even worse. Stuff like this garbage: http://maltesesuplex.tumblr.com

I'm also in the "somewhat" camp. Basically same reasoning, and am also not a huge Bryan guy (I like him fine, so don't strip me of my ability to post about wrestling on the internet) so it's not a massive deal to me. I have optimism that they can lay out something I'll enjoy in the main event. I think Cena/Rusev will be a blast. The ladder match will likely be a fun spotfest. The Andre battle royal was a fun time last year, though I doubt this one will be as good. I don't care about Sting, HHH, Bray, or Taker. Pretty indifferent to Rollins/Orton. I'm sure the fact that I only watch the PPV's helps me not be depressed about it. I just can't hatewatch anymore because it makes me miserable.
