Matt D Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 I recall Orton had been the odds-on favorite for about a week or so. But I know not everyone pays attention to those. Not unless you want Ziggler to win, sure. Quote
WingedEagle Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 Still waiting for someone to bet me on Stephanie. She's not in it, if you think she is let's put something on it. Unless you've been hanging in the office or booked her tickets out of town, what's the point of going so hard with something like this? Have some fun. Its wrestling. Quote
Matt D Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 I applaud and appreciate that you so badly want it to be good and torch bearing and stigma changing and it's a step on the road, sure, but if you think they're all the way there yet, I fear you have disappointment ahead of you. Quote
Boss Rock Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 I recall Orton had been the odds-on favorite for about a week or so. But I know not everyone pays attention to those. Not unless you want Ziggler to win, sure. Open U.S. Challenge on the pre-show, so I actually wouldn't be surprised if he came back for that. Quote

FMKK Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 Still waiting for someone to bet me on Stephanie. She's not in it, if you think she is let's put something on it. Maybe no one else thinks she's going to be in it either Quote
Flyin' Brian Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 I guess it has been a while since this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmxmAu8C-1M Quote
Flyin' Brian Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 Have they announced yet what the winner gets? Is it just bragging rights or do they get a title shot like the men? Quote

Typical liberal. I'm kidding, of course. But that was too low-hanging a fruit for me to resist. Quote
sek69 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 I'm kind of hoping for Romina Reigns to toss out all 29 other women to win now. Quote
jcmmnx Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 Am I crazy for thinking Ronda vs Charlotte could headline Mania this year? Brock/Roman would be their only competition for that spot unless they do old ass Taker vs Cena. It would at least be one of the two or three biggest matches on the show. I think as long as they could pull of something like LT vs Bigelow they should do it. If it's Ronda vs Steph then Mania can fuck off. Quote
Matt D Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 Am I crazy for thinking Ronda vs Charlotte could headline Mania this year?Yes. Maybe it could main event Extreme Rules. Maybe. Its like you guys dont know this company at all. Shane vs Hunter is way more likely to main event the show. Quote
Cap Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 Yeah, there is a 0% chance that match headlines mania. I am very much a supporter of the rise of women's wrestling, but I don't think the company is ANYWHERE near putting a women's match on last at Mania, no matter who is in it. Quote
Matt D Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 Maybe if they get Oprah to put up her hair and Reigns and Brock both get eaten by Sharks. Quote
iamthedoctor Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 Problem is that the unpredictable choice lately has always been the worst, dullest choice possible. Orton last year was like the cherry on a cake on an already wretchedly boring Rumble match. The problem with current Rumbles just seems a bit iffy so they aren't memorable a decade later. Quote
WingedEagle Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 Yeah, there is a 0% chance that match headlines mania. I am very much a supporter of the rise of women's wrestling, but I don't think the company is ANYWHERE near putting a women's match on last at Mania, no matter who is in it. Plus, that really should happen when it would benefit all parties -- the participants and the company -- if such a match were hot enough to merit the slot and command the public eye in the buildup. Perhaps peak Rousey with (or without, I'm not sure) the right opponent could've made that happen, but I don't think her star is that that level today. To this point no one on the women's side has been pushed as a headliner of the promotion, but rather of the division. That may very well happen, but we're still early in this approach and the development of talent to flesh out that side of the roster on two brands. No need to jump the gun. Quote
Loss Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 I'm kind of hoping for Romina Reigns to toss out all 29 other women to win now. I would totally start a "Danielle Bryan!" clap-clap-clap-clap-clap chant. Quote
jcmmnx Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 Even with her diminished star power Rousey would still be by far the most talked about thing at Mania this year if she wrestles. Quote

I would totally start a "Danielle Bryan!" clap-clap-clap-clap-clap chant. That would be a nice alternative explanation for why he's growing his hair out again Quote
Mad Dog Posted January 27, 2018 Report Posted January 27, 2018 This is a good chance to bring James Ellsworth back so he can be the first MITB and Rumble winner! Quote
Flyin' Brian Posted January 27, 2018 Report Posted January 27, 2018 Have they announced yet what the winner gets? Is it just bragging rights or do they get a title shot like the men? They get one of these, mint in box: I'm loving these spoiler tags. Quote

Maybe no one else thinks she's going to be in it either I'll take the bet. Stephanie's ego won't allow her not to "make history"! Quote
