Coffey Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 How many Candian posters we have on here? I was so confused at first. Was listening to MLW Podcast, they were speculating that Hell in a Cell will be the send off for John Cena, for his time off. I assume he'll be gone until Royal Rumble? Since that PPV is going to have Brock ending his feud with The Undertaker & most likely Seth Rollins retaining over Kane. What are they going to do for the time between the end of that show & the Royal Rumble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goc Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 I think the idea is to have people so sick of Rollins title reign by Mania that Reigns gets cheered against him. At least that's my theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 The biggest problem I see is that much like last year, where Reigns was out due to injury, is absolutely nothing has been done to heat him up for a Rumble or top level Mania match. Short of a hot heel turn on someone, what's going to kickstart the character in time for that this time around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmare007 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 The biggest mystery is who is gonna take the belt from Cena at HIAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goc Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 I might have to ask Loss or goodhelmet for a one week ban if it's Ziggler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmare007 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Does Cena have to drop it? Oh man it would be amazing if he goes on a 2 month hiatus and doesn't drop the belt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmare007 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 I might have to ask Loss or goodhelmet for a one week ban if it's Ziggler. You better pray Hot Summer gets Ru Ru that US title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 I might have to ask Loss or goodhelmet for a one week ban if it's Ziggler. It will be. After he caught that New Day beatdown last week, I assume tonight we're getting Cena Vs. Kofi & then Dolph can get his match that was supposed to happen at the PPV. I hope I'm wrong. I'd rather have a returning suprise wrestler win it than that. I'm really struggling this year to think of too many things that I have enjoyed from any promotion in the world. Year-end awards are going to be really hard for me. Ibushi/Nakamura didn't blow me away from Wrestle Kingdom. Sasha/Bayley Ironman was just OK to me, Brooklyn was better but I thought Sasha/Becky was better than both. There's been good Cena matches, I really enjoyed his first one with Owens but that was more for the shock of Owens going over clean. It was wrestled like an Indy spotfest match.

Alucard Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Looks like the Rusev/Lana engagement is going to blend into the storyline now. " As first reported by TMZ, former U.S. Champion Rusev and Lana are reportedly engaged. The Ravishing Russian had been romantically linked to Dolph Ziggler in recent months and Rusev fielded a proposal from Summer Rae just last week, but it would appear that any lingering problems between the power couple have been resolved. Why did Lana have a change of heart? Tune in to Raw live at 8/7 C on USA Network for more, and stay with WWE.com as this story develops."

sek69 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 So Sami Zayn tweeted about the famous promo where Dusty piefaced Steph, and she retweeted it and added how much she loved doing it and what not. Considering he was never allowed to be in front of a crowd again after that and all reports indicated she was pissed about it, this is quickly becoming my new least favorite WWE history revision. To be fair, it's probably largely due to her "PR is how the brands will win" tweet always flashing through my mind when she says anything.

hammerva Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Also Sami Zayn related news, apparently he is going to make his return to the ring (in a non wrestling way) this weekend for the EVOLVE show in Queens. Not sure what the huge benefit of having him in a non wrestling role except I guess for people wanting autographs and pictures. But I guess the bigger story is that it pretty much confirms that EVOLVE/Dragon Gate is now the feeder system for NXT which must suck for ROH guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmare007 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 HHH pretty much confirmed they are working with Gabe in the last conference call before the NXT special last week. It's weird they are letting the Lana/Rusev thing go public when they already had a storyline that could've easily put them back together. Not that the angle was hot and cutting it short is going to mean anything, but still, kind of weird timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Well if they are doing an angle with Ziggler and Cena then the only possible reason is because of the Nikki Bella cliffhanger on Total Divas. Not like Dolph is deserving a huge push. So might as well ditch that relationship and put Lana and Russev back together. Although turning Lana heel or turning Russev face might not be the best move for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmare007 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Rusev is gonna be awesome regardless if he's a face or a heel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Yeah, Cena doesn't have to drop it. From what I've read, there is a contingency arguing that he doesn't have to, much like they weren't going to take the title off of Bryan last year when they thought he'd only be out for six weeks.

hammerva Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Yeah I guess we have forgotten that Brock was a world champion for about 6 months and maybe wrestled 3 times in that time period Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russellmania Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I actually think the fact that they're just going to abruptly abandon the Lana/Rusev split is a big wasted opportunity. A Ziggler heel turn and subsequent Lana/Rusev reunion could have been pretty great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...TG Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 A long Randy Orton promo at the top of the show is not a good way to try to get me to switch away from the MLB playoffs, WWE. New Day saved the segment but a little bit of Orton goes a long, long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parties Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I live twenty minutes from that Evolve show and still find a Gargano Leaves Town main event hella unappealing. Still: a Zayn cameo, plus Everett, Galloway, Gulak, Trevor Lee, Williams, and Thatcher is solid stuff. RAW: missed the Divas aside from Banks swatting Brie off the announce table. Ambrose-Orton were entertaining in the opening promos. New Day were good too, and I like that they realized they were becoming too cool to be heels and have found ways to be both annoying braggadocios while still winning matches/holding titles. Cena-Ziggler was uneventful: decent match, but wow that finish was so lame and abrupt. Clear low point of the show thus far: JBL comparing a weak-as-hell two minute Dudley squash to "Stan and Doc."

Bierschwale Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 There is absolutely no better evidence for the political hit than this promo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Does anyone in the WWE realize that comparing Braun Strowman to Jeep Swenson & Bill Kahzmier is not a compliment. I mean why not just compare him to the Shockmaster while we are at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Welcome to Jack Swagger world for Russev. Clearly the WWE is pissed about the engagement. That will teach you to have a real life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
