Grimmas

WCW had a match (Nash vs Goldberg vs Steiner) where Goldberg refused to go up for a power bomb and do the job so he walked out. Afterwards the announcers had to talk about how unprofessional Goldberg was and now how Nash and Steiner had to improvise and come up with a finish on the fly. That is the worst booking in the history of wrestling and there is no comparison at all.

Hopefully! Its about time Rusev lost. It is so not the time for Rusev to lose and especially to Cena.

WrestleMania 31 1. Stardust beats Goldust. They make up post match. After Fast Lane there issues keep up and they settle them here. 2. The Usos successfully defend their titles against Harper & Kidd. Backstage Harper is confronted by Paul Heyman leaving Kidd alone. 3. Charlotte defeats Natayla. Proving divas are inferior. She is the future of wrestling. 4. Sting/Randy Orton/Dean Ambrose/Roman Reigns defeat Triple H/Sheamus/Seth Rollins/Big Show in a crazy brawl. All of these guys on Sting's team are tormented by the Authority leading to Mania. Roman is very focused on taking out Triple H, but they are all looking for revenge. Post match Seth flips out on Triple H for being pinned and attacks him. Roman joins in and it looks like a Shield reunion, however Dean just walks away. Double team power bomb Triple H through the table, he is stretchered out. 5. Dolph Ziggler defeats Sami Zayn in their final match up to retain the IC Title. 6. Rusev defeats John Cena by submission to retain the US Title. After weeks of hounding, Cena agrees to come back after Rusev takes out a member of the US Army. Post match Cena is out and looks to be taken out by a stretcher when Harper appears on the ramp. He comes to ringside when the lights go out and Bray Wyatt returns in his chair (there was cryptic promos leading up to the show). The two of them corner Cena when the Shield's music hits. Roman & Seth both come to the ring to stop Harper and Bray. They do a stare down and then turn to all stare at Cena and completely annihilate him. Heyman then makes an appearance about how Cena let down himself, the WWE universe and America. These four men are the future of the WWE, but to be the future you have to kill the past. Menaing John Cena. 7. Andre the Giant battle royal won by Cesaro who gets a title shot at Extreme Rules. Cesaro is now a babyface after Fast Lane. 8. Daniel Bryan with The Undertaker in his corner defeats Brock Lesnar. Leading up to this match Heyman keeps trying to interfere, so Bryan goes to Taker for help. They train together and Taker agrees to be in his corner to keep his eye on Heyman and get revenge for last year. There you go, fuck the WWE and their shitty Royal Rumble mine was way better!

WWE Fast Lane, 2/22 from Memphis, TN Jerry Lawler returns as the WWE President. 1. Dolph Ziggler defeats Sami Zayn in a sprint match with a roll up. 2. The Usos destroy The Ascension. 3. Rusev comes out for his match they pull John Cena's name from a hat, he is not there. Rusev and Lana declare victory. Lawler interrupts and says he has an official list of competitors who are here and pulls out Goldust's name. A great match, which Stardust costs Goldust the win in the end. 4. Charlotte and Natayla beat The Bellas. Triple H and Stephanie call out Sting and make a challenge for Mania. A Street Fight Triple H brings the Authority and Sting brings his crew. He knows he is out of a job, but if he is out then he is taking Sting and company with him! 5. Luke Harper & Tyson Kidd defeat Ambrose & Reigns when Seth Rollins and Sheamus distract the referee leading to a Big Show KO punch on Roman. 6. Daniel Bryan defeats Cesaro after Heyman who was commentating at ringside tries to interfere by Cesaro stops him because he wants to do it on his own. 7. Randy Orton defeats Seth Rollins in a Falls Count Anywhere match after a miscue by the Stooges.

Build up to Fast Lane. The Authority. The share holders hold a hearing on the WWE Network with many witnesses. It is confirmed they abused power and are removed from power. The legends committee will be the match makers and will be overseen by a new WWE President to be announced at Fast Lane. Triple H and Steph blame Sting and the babyfaces and demand Sting shows up at Fast Lane. The tournament wages on and looks like this coming into the show: New Age Outlaws_ | Sami Zayn & Dolph Ziggler______ |_Double Z___ | Double Z__| | The Miz & Damien Mizdow______| | |Kidd/Harper_ Los Matadores_______________ | | | Matadores__ | | The Vaudevillians_____________| | | | |Kidd/Harper_| | Jack Swagger & Justin Gabriel____ | | |Kidd/Harper__| | Tyson Kidd & Luke Harper_______| | |__WINNER The Shield___________________ | |Shield _____ | Curtis Axel & Titus O'Neill________| | | |_Shield_____ | A New Day___________________ | | | |Dust Bros___| | | Goldust & Stardust_____________| | | |_Shield_____| Adam Rose & The Bunny________ | |Authority____ | Seth Rollins & Sheamus_________| | | |_Authority___| The Lucha Dragons_| During the tournament Orton is dragged out by security in every Authority match to not interfere. Finally he gets in a shot against The Shield costing Rollins the match. Also Roman seems to have a single focus on taking out The Authority now. The Bellas are pissed about the interference in their rematches and they go to the committee and get a tag match for Fast Lane. If Natayla/Charlotte win nothing changes, if Bellas win they face each other for Divas Title at Mania. Cena doesn't show up on TV after walking out. Lana says that Rusev will pull a name out of a hat and face that person at Fast Lane. He continues to dominate. After Ziggler/Zayn are taken out of the tournament they agree to a rematch for the IC Title on Smackdown. The match goes to an hour draw, and a rematch is signed for Fast Lane. It is set with no time limit. So, Fast Lane Randy Orton vs Seth Rollins (Falls Count Anywhere) Daniel Bryan vs Cesaro (If Cesaro wins, he is the first challenger if Bryan wins the title) Natayla & Charlotte vs The Bellas (If Bellas win, winner of fall gets Divas Title and other Bella is #1 Contender) Rusev vs name drawn from hat (US Title) The Ascension vs The Usos (Tag Titles) Dean Ambrose & Roman Reigns vs Tyson Kidd & Luke Harper (Lou Albano Tournament Finals) Dolph Ziggler vs Sami Zayn (IC Title)

Rusev-Cena is the only good thing on the show. Yuck.

I think the Rumble killed everything. Tonight I will post what my plan was and give up on this idea altogether.

They couldn't wait one year with Reigns? Why the rush? Give Bryan is actually run and then next year give it to Reigns. He's young and has room to grow, SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!

I don't know I've seen a fair bit of Cena and he only ever seems to hit finishers to me. It's like his entire offensive arsenal is built around the idea of the false finish. Product of the time I guess, but as I've watched more 70s wrestling, I've become less and less enamoured at the very concept of a finisher and here's a guy who seems to be only finisher. I did enjoy the match, but I had it at **** and others seem to be talking about it in MOTY terms, so I'm guessing I'm lower than most. Part of me also wonders if that was Scott Steiner circa 1992 or Kurt Angle circa 2002 throwing 20 German suplexes people might not be going so ga ga over it. But Brock seems to get a pass. But you know me, I love suplexes! I didn't think Rollins was very good in the match, and the stretch with Cena brought it down a fair bit. I had the three way at 4 stars too. It was real good, but a lot of aspects I hated. A final singles match between Brock-Cena would had been better. So, where do they go with Mania? Brock-Roman Triple H-Sting Rusev-Cena Rollins-Orton Outside of Rusev-Cena that is a shitty upper card. What are they doing with Dean, Dolph, Bryan who are the main over guys on the roster. Bray? What a mess.

Don't worry Bryan will win under the bunny outfit

How cool would it be with Rusev being alone in the ring, Rock comes out and then Rusev throws him out immediately?

Over here I am booking the WWE in 2015 and I thought this would be a good place to post my Royal Rumble card. WWE Royal Rumble, 1/25 Live from Philadelphia, PA Pre-Show Match: Divas Royal Rumble (Emma, Brie Bella, Alicia Fox, Naomi, Charlotte, Paige, Rosa Mendes, Summer Rae, Cameron, Layla, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Bayley, Alexa Bliss & a Mystery diva) A normal Rumble match. The mystery diva is AJ Lee. The NXT girls look good and the final four come down to Brie, AJ Lee, Paige & Charlotte. Charlotte tosses Brie as we are out of time on the Pre-Show and the main Royal Rumble show is starting. The show starts as the final three of Charlotte, Paige and AJ Lee are in the ring. AJ is able to toss Paige which leads to a finishing sequence where Charlotte gets the win and will go on to WrestleMania XXXI to face the Divas Champion. Michael Cole, JBL & William Regal welcome us the Royal Rumble and talk about the upcoming show. Renee Young interviews Natayla, Cesaro & Tyson Kidd about their upcoming matches. 1) WWE Tag Team Titles Match: The Usos © vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd The Usos get the victory with a diving splash on Tyson Kidd in about 15 minutes. After the match Cesaro attacks and lays out Tyson Kidd for being the loser. 2) WWE Divas Title Match: Nikki Bella © w/ Brie Bella vs Natayla Natayla gains the victory in about 9 minutes cleanly. A video package showing what happened on Raw with The Authority and how Sting has been hired by the share holders to keep the Authority in line. 3) Winner Enters the Rumble Street Fight: Big Show vs Roman Reigns A wild and out of control brawl that goes about 14 minutes. At one point Kane came out to help Show, but Sting chased him off. Roman hits the Superman punch and is setting up for the Spear, when The Stooges appear from under the ring and grab his leg allowing Show to hit the knock out blow which Roman kicks out of. Roman hits the spear and beats Show to enter the Rumble later tonight. A video package shows the history of Brock vs Cena and what this match means. 4) WWE World Heavyweight Title Match: Brock Lesnar © w/ Paul Heyman vs John Cena Brock Lesnar makes John Cena submit to the Brock-Lock in the middle of the ring cleanly in about 17 minutes. 5) Royal Rumble Match (Daniel Bryan, Seth Rollins, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, Luke Harper, Titus O'Neill, Curtis Axel, Bad News Barrett, Sami Zayn, Dean Ambrose, Goldust, Stardust, Damien Mizdow, The Miz, Ryback, Kane, Fandango, Justin Gabriel, Diego, Fernando, David Otunga, Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods, Erick Rowan, Adam Rose, The Bunny, Rusev, surpise entrant, & Roman Reigns) Number 1 is Dolph Ziggler, number 2 is Luke Harper and number 3 is Dean Ambrose. The first portion is all about Ambrose, Luke & Dolph running through people. Kofi Kingston does his wacky spot in the middle portion. Big E eliminates him and Woods. Stardust accidentally eliminates Goldust. At number 14 out comes Rusev who eliminates a LOT of guys. At 15 is Roman Reigns who teams up with all of the remaining folks Dolph, Luke, Sami Zayn & Big E to throw out Rusev. Daniel is out next and we are heading towards the finishing sequence. When we are at number 30, Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, Dolph Ziggler, Luke Harper, Kane, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose are in the ring. After a long pause, Randy Orton comes out and goes right after Seth Rollins and throws him out. Orton goes after him to brawl through out the arena, when Triple H appears on the ramp. He says that Orton is not a part of the match and the real number 30 is SHEAMUS! Sheamus and Kane team up to toss Ambrose. The final four come down to Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, Sheamus and Kane and it turns into a tag match of sorts. Bryan tosses Kane and as Kane is on the outside he throws a fire ball at Roman which allows Sheamus to dump him. At this point the rest of The Authority come to ringside as it is Sheamus & Bryan left. The announcers talk about their past. As The Authority tries to trip up Bryan, Sting appears and chases them off leaving Bryan and Sheamus alone. Bryan tosses Sheamus after a long sequence for the win. He completes the come back and will head to WrestleMania XXXI to face Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Title in the main event. Royal Rumble 2015 Results 1) Charlotte wins the Divas Royal Rumble by last eliminating AJ Lee. 2) The Usos defeat Cesaro & Tyson Kidd when Jimmy pins Tyson to retain the WWE Tag Team Titles. 3) Natayla makes Nikki Bella submit to win the WWE Divas Title. 4) Roman Reigns pins Big Show in a Street Fight to enter the Royal Rumble. 5) Brock Lesnar makes John Cena submit to retain the WWE World Heavyweight Title. 6) Daniel Bryan wins the Royal Rumble by last eliminating Sheamus.

It seems the only match currently in my top 5 that is not mentioned is: AJ Styles vs Tetsuya Naito (NJPW WK9) I thought this was a real fun match and the second best match on the Dome show. Anyway, my top 5 list will remain in my signature through out 2015.

With Mascrita Dorada and Espectrito already nominated, Sagrada needed a nomination as well.

Discuss here. This is the mid 90's AAA one.

A fellow Toronto resident, awesome. 97 seemed like such a huge year for wrestling in Canada with the Bret Hart thing. By the way, I think you should check out SMASH wrestling if you haven't. They have some great talent and bring in a lot of talent.

WWE Smackdown, 1/29 From Boston, MA The show starts with Tom Phillips & JBL recapping Raw and the Royal Rumble. They bring up the #1 Contenders Tag Tournament, which has officially been labelled as the Captain Lou Albano Memorial Tournament. The winner will meet the WWE Tag Team Champions at WrestleMania XXXI. They are about to go over the brackets when Tyson Kidd comes to join them. He says the brackets don't matter because he has signed Luke Harper as his partner! Phillips, JBL & Kidd go over the brackets.

JBL invites Sheamus to the ring to explain his actions from the Royal Rumble and joining the Authority. Sheamus says its really simple. No fans wrote letters when he was injured. No other wrestlers visited him while he was doing rehab. Only The Authority did. They helped nurse him back to health and he is here to make sure they get what they want. He then talks about winning the Lou Albano tournament with Seth Rollins and going into WrestleMania and winning the WWE Tag Team Titles. 4)Captain Lou Memorial Tournament First Round Match: Sami Zayn & Dolph Ziggler vs The Miz & Damien Mizdow Zayn & Ziggler get the win in 7 minutes with what you would expect.

After the match the Bellas brawl with Natayla and Charlotte as the show ends.

Negro Casas vs Maximo, CMLL 1/11 I loved this one so much. It is also the PWO-PTBN Podcast Network Facebook page Match Club match for this week I added a lot of thoughts there and there is much discussion.

Did you know that the only reason Atlantis/Guerrero, Shield/Wyatts and Bryan/Triple H made it into the top 10 matches of the year is because New Japan put on so many awesome matches that people forgot to vote for a bunch of them? This irked me, quite an obtuse stance from Dave. The thing is, I love CMLL, think they were by far the best promotion in the world in 2014, and have come to the realization that they have been for many years now. I could see a top 10 where it was nothing but CMLL matches, that would make perfect sense to me. However, when people are submitting their top 10 lists and they are full of non-CMLL matches I don't for a second think, "They must have forgotten some of the great CMLL matches, that's the only reason they have any other promotions on their list." That's silly, and when Dave does it with NJPW it shows a hubris towards the rest of the wrestling world that is hard to stomach. Dave is by all means entitled to his opinion, but the way he so easily dismisses any promotion not named NJPW and siscredits the opinions of others who may not love NJPW, it's, as previously stated, hard to stomach. What's even worse is that even Joe Lanza wouldn't think that. Nobody would ever have that thought, but here is the most respected reporter in wrestling saying that. It just makes everything else he says less reliable.

Being a fan is one thing, stated that the awards are all going to NJ because they are so great they get over looked is insane.

Why can't Taker just be in Bryan's corner when he faces Brock? Taker teaches Bryan how to rule at Mania and keeps his eye on Heyman. Bryan wins, Taker gets some sort of revenge for the streak being defeated, everyone is happy.

Did you know that the only reason Atlantis/Guerrero, Shield/Wyatts and Bryan/Triple H made it into the top 10 matches of the year is because New Japan put on so many awesome matches that people forgot to vote for a bunch of them? Pointing out the matches makes that even more insane. I had 1 match in my top 10 of 2014 from New Japan and that is not because I forgot all the other great matches, it is because they are other great matches.

Define big shows?

It's criminal that El Torito didn't place for most underrated. What a waste of such a talent. As for someone who should had been a main eventer, but was screwed by management I would look at La Parka in WCW. Sure he did it in Mexico, but in America he could had been huge.
