I heard Lesnar vs Bo Dallas will be on there too. It is odd how the last two network special house shows features Lesnar against a guy much further below his station. Maybe we can quickly rush Bo into the Wyatt Family so we can have Lesnar throwing them all around like he did New Day. He does need to get his heat back after all :-P I think a lot of it has to do with people just want to see Brock obliterate people is the reason why he's being put in with lower rung tier guys. Also that New Day interview with Cole had me laughing all morning long....they are fucking phenomenal!

So apparently this is what's got Hogan scrubbed: http://www.nationalenquirer.com/celebrity/hulk-hogan-racist-scandal-wrestling-caught-on-tape-saying-n-word-daughter-brooke-exclusive Just popped up on the WO's board there.

From what Bryan Alvarez was saying on the new Brian & Vinny drop it sounds like Hogan's "real secret" is getting ready to be dropped and that the FBI was involved. This means its something BIG to warrant the scrub that has been going on...

As a long time Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan from the day Derrick Brooks got drafted to the team, I know this feeling exactly. The Bucs are the Wade Barrett of the NFL these days (win once in a blue moon but mostly job out in order to put over the other guys without any Even Steven booking returns)...

Didn't he make the face turn because WCW was doing the Hansen vs Vader re-match and Hansen was booked as being a heel overall?

Going to echo others in this thread. Very good main event for the limited time given to both guys. Agreed. I'd be up for them to run a G1 style or Real World Tag Team style tourney on the Network in the same vein. It'll make me want to go to it and stay on it more than I already do.

so basically they are hoping to do something with her in a year? Certainly looks that way. I've got a feeling based on the Lesnar negotiations and Rousey participating in WM 31 that Vince and Dana might be open to some cross promoting between the two in the future.

He'll stop getting mixed reactions once Vince and crew just let him develop naturally. He's going to need more Bryan style matches to help him grow and develop. Putting him with Kane and Show doesn't help him at all.

Overall better WM than I had anticipated. I like Rollins stealing the title but a part of me feels like Lesnar should've kept going on his reign of destruction...

Absolutely agree. Before Taker/Brock, I would've said this match could sell and be hot. Now I cringe at the thought of a 50+ Sting outshining an almost 50 Taker out of the building...and for what...

Four Way Tag: Kidd & Cesaro. I would not be surprised to see them drop the following night on RAW Divas Tag: Bellas Ladder Match: Daniel Bryan is the hope. I would not be surprised if Wade retained. US Title: Rusev is the hope. Odds on money is Cena. Orton vs Rollins: Orton Taker/Bray: Bray SHOULD win. Sting vs. Triple H: Sting goes over. One would hope WCW rebirths after this. WWE Title: Lesnar is the hope. Odds are Reigns wins in a double turn.

Not according to South Park's "A Song of Fire and Ass"... Very, very weak way to end the show overall. That did more damage to Brock than anything else in my mind...

And I guess there were some Daniel Bryan signs confiscated from the crowd, too. I think the more people speak up about it, the more this could be a very thorny Freedom of Speech issue for the company, especially if someone decides to sue. Fucking comic irony is how I see it. During the Attitude Era, they pushed for and used the audience feedback to their advantage. All you hear is use this hashtag or that hashtag for social media discussions. YOU CONDITIONED YOUR FANS TO SPEAK OUT! Now you want to put the genie back in? Oye vey...

I'm to the point where I'm either going to watch RAW via Hulu or just listen to Dave/Bryan and Bryan/Vinnie review RAW. The only redeeming part of last night's show was the Brock interview and there is no guarantee he's going to be in the company post-WM. Just when you think it can't get any more retarded...

Not just that. Vince's greatest strength (at least in my mind) has always been his vision of how to package and produce professional wrestling for broadcast. Putting together video montages and establishing lighting, audience micro phoning, pyrotechnics for entrances, custom music, etc. then marketing this material around via television rights, merchandise, video sales, etc with known mainstream celebrity star power throughout the years is where he was way ahead of the game compared to others. This is where he gets the delusion that he's in the entertainment business and continues to slam that round peg into the square hole...

I took it as Vince and Dunn fucking with everyone because they can. They're determined to suck the heat out of all their talent - even one that it took close to 13 years to sign for big money matches. Serious question - did Vince blowing both his quads out a while back make him go crazy? I was thinking back to when this company had shit product and even during the '91-'93 period suck run things were never to the point where guys were intentionally buried just because.

Growing up in the South, it was Crockette who was my drug pusher not Vince. I don't take anything away from Vince being probably one of the most important figures of all time in pro wrestling history but I look at his contributions more towards TV production and packaging vice the actual in-ring product.

Brock isn't going to breach his contract this close to being done. That said, I wouldn't put it past Vince to jump the gun and change the main event just because...

Funny isn't it how both details and backstory can make a promo flow effortlessly. Shocking I tell you...

Brock knows he's going to make bank due to WWE's incompetence booking. If I were Brock I'd ensure I got everything I wanted from Vince including the assurance of being protected in such a way he can't be put into bad booking decisions.

Mets is being extremely vague. A "good amount of interest" doesn't mean much - sort of a hedging bets if it goes one way or another. That said, I don't doubt that Trips would have some interest in Joe. I think they can get him to cut weight and regain some of his missed form easily. It's going to come down to Joe figuring whether or not it's his best interest to take a shot should WWE call...

He's been very subtle about what he'd have to do to get back into the ring through his podcast and basically has said he's not going to put himself through that again. Can't blame him, honestly. I personally have no issues with steroids as a whole and I don't think he does either. For him it sounds more like getting back into that frame of mind of getting ready to work, getting bit again by the bug of wanting to work all the time, and having to go through the withdraw like last time that he's trying to avoid...

It's not that sudden. He's made a big effort to drop weight the last couple years. Here's a video of him talking about a sort of topics including the weight loss: Basically comes down to just eating cleaner and cutting out a lot of crap.

I've watched the Styles/Young Bucks vs. ACH/Sydal/Alexander match three times already. Absolutely awesome match. Spotty, yes, but really fun to watch and take in.

Some people just can't let their childhood favorites ride off into the sunset sometimes. I'd rather people focus on how to make the current product better than trying to bring Michaels back.
