[Dark One]

I'm going to an NXT live show later tonight. Pretty excited. :y:

Can you ask Asuka if she's willing to marry me?

Thanks.

[Wishbone]

She's mine, bitch! Back off or I'll cut you!

King and Queen of Suplexes.

Not Queen of Suplexes and some birdbone.

[Poit]

That was a pretty good show. Although, you know "that guy" at every wrestling event who constantly chants stupid shit? There was a group of them right behind me. Alas.

If anyone is interested in match results, here they are. Putting them in spoiler tags since it has the results of some teams advancing in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.


Oney Lorkin beat Patrick Clark in a surprisingly good opening match. The crowd was pretty into both guys, but Clark got a significantly more positive reaction here than at Full Sail.

TM61 was scheduled to face Aries & Strong in a round 2 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic match, but Aries's eye injury meant he couldn't wrestle. So, Shane Thorne beat Roderick Strong in a singles match to allow TM61 to advance. The crowd really did not like TM61.

Then Buddy Murphy and Wesley Blake had yet another match. If the crowd disliked TM61, they hated these two. "Leave". "Delete". "You both suck". "Fight for-never". But, Blake still got a pop from shooting streamers from his hands before a frog splash for the win.

Asuka defends her NXT Women's Championship against someone named Daria. I don't recall seeing her on NXT before. She's seems to be some sort of boxer. Pretty sweet match. Lots of strikes and submissions. Daria got a pretty nice pop with a cross arm breaker - we were expecting the boxer to not have much in the way of submissions. Asuka wins, of course. They hug and walk up the ramp together after the match

Rich Swann & No Way Jose face the Authors of Pain in another round 2 match. Authors get lots of boos and D'Lo Brown chants, but they advance in the tournament nonetheless. The crowd loved Rich Swann. With the exception of the annoying guys behind me, the crowd loved No Way Jose. And I don't care enough about the Authors of Pain to write anything more about them.

Billie Kay and Peyton Royce are now the Best Friends of NXT, or something like that. Billie Kay faces Ember Moon, and this is another match that was better than I expected. Billie Kay is definitely improving as a wrestler. Ember Moon wins with that second rope cartwheel stunner thing. I'm just going to assume it's called the Crescent Moon, because seriously, why wouldn't it be called that?

Main event time. Bobby Roode and Samoa Joe vs. Tye Dillinger and Shinsuke Nakamura. The crowd just loves all four of these guys. Singing Roode's and Nakamura's theme songs, the constant "10" chants, etc. And if this match is any indication, the Roode/Dillinger feud is going to be pretty entertaining. Those two work so well together. The match ends with a Kinshasa to Roode, of course. Overall an excellent close to the evening.


Then I had to leave as soon as the bell rang. I had to run to the train station in the rain to catch the last train of the night.

[Dark One]

Distinct lack of Asuka marriage proposal for Dark One in those results...

Daria was on Tough Enough and has a legit MMA background.

[Poit]

I was pretty impressed by Daria. I'd prefer her hair to be something other than cornrows, but that's just an aesthetic thing. Her wrestling was pretty great.

But seriously, when someone comes to the ring throwing punches, looking like a boxer, you just have to pop when she pulls out a Cross Arm Breaker - especially as a counter to a submission from Asuka.

[Wishbone]

She would break you like a wishbone.

I'm okay with this. :y:

King and Queen of Suplexes.

Not Queen of Suplexes and some birdbone.

This birdbone will put you in a crossface chickenwing and make you humble, ya Brock Lesnar gimmick stealing bitch! :fu:

I'm making a promo video for a comedy show and wanted to use a wrestling theme for background music since wrestling themes lately have been pretty outstanding and not as generic as playing the "popular songs of the day". But I see Black Widow has made shit real in this thread so I'll wait to get suggestions.

Suppose you'll want to miss out lyric based ones for background music, so Nakamura fo sho.

Or Broken Matt Hardy.

[#1-norm-fan]

Actually, it will be heavily featured music. As in it will play over words, pics, bright lights and muted videos and stuff. Needs "energy". Sasha Banks was the first one I could think of. Feel like people like that one a lot. I'll be making a new one monthly so I might wanna keep changing the music though.

You're not the only one.

[The CyNick]

:| WWE were the ones who said that is the number needed for them to be in the break even area considering the millions spent for the Network's launch ($50 million range). That goes on top of the monthly costs which includes paying MLB for the Network's tech.

Has to be a consistent 1.4-1.5 million paid and not just because they hit it once means they never need to hit it again to break even.

2 million gives them a nice profit while the plan for 3-4 million would help cover other areas of the company losing money or not performing well. Once again those have to be consistent in order for the WWE to get real benefits.

Again, I don't think you know how to read a balance sheet. Best year ever. Ever.

To be more specific, they held a raffle for a Money in the Bank briefcase. I won the raffle, and got to make a fool out of myself climbing into the ring. Don't care, I still won Money in the Bank.

Best of all, during the Main Event, the Champion tossed the Challenger in the front row next to me. He gets into the crowd right in front of me. I hand him the briefcase and he uses it. :D

[Emperor Smeat]

According to reports, management and Creative finally convinced Vince for Sasha-Charlotte to be the real main event for tonight Hell in a Cell ppv. Supposedly Creative and management have finally gotten tired of Vince's antics when it comes to trying to plan out ppv cards and feuds based on a previous report about this ppv.

US title teased to be opening the show and Universal teased to be in the middle of the card.

[Lock Jaw]

Plenty of hours left for Vince to change his mind

[Cool King]

I'm hoping he does and he probably will.

[Lock Jaw]

I'd be fine with it. It has about equal hype to Owens/Rollins but has extra of being "history making" or whatever.

[Emperor Smeat]

Can probably pinpoint the exact moment Vince started to meddle too much in Cell plans right around the time Foley made a post on Facebook backtracking on everything he said about Sasha-Charlotte being worthy of the real main event spot.

Tried to make excuses about the ppv being worthy of multiple main events and even if Sasha-Charlotte wasn't last, fans could still claim it as the main event for the ppv if they wanted.

Probably the same reason why the feud itself seemed to feel like it was losing steam going into the big announcement of the match taking place in the Cell.

[XL]

Hmmmm. They shouldn't have put Rollins/Owens in the cage. They could have done a Triple Threat with Jericho. That would have made the First-ever Women's Cell match a shoo-in for the Main Event without "demoting" the Universal Championship to second fiddle.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They have to demote. It's the same match from the last ppv with no reason Rollins gets another shot. He was challenger and got pinned.

This. It's not like any particular match has sold the show. Hell, it hasn't even been sold. It's part of the package month you get for signing up to the WWE Network for free. The buzz words are the cell itself, the "danger" that was established within the Cell in the first three matches, and then the idea of a "Triple Main Event."

Good for the ladies if it means something to them, but given that there are now more PPVs than ever, they're cheaper, there being more of them actually being good since they are part of a content package, and that they clearly don't care about card structure anymore, and it all becomes trivial.

The day the women are promoted as the main attraction of a show that people actually need to pay for is the day that they technically headline.

O... Oh no

[The CyNick]

I love how people buy into the narrative that the match order changed so many times. It's amazing how many times you people get sucked into the same con.

Week 1: "WWE going to put girls on last", read more in this week's issue

Week 2: "Foley let the cat out of the bag, WWE changing plans as result", read more in this week's issue

Week 3: "WWE changes plan, Universal Title match likely to go on last", read more in this week's issue.

Week 4: "WWE changed plans at THE LAST MINUTE, and put the girls on last", read more in this issue.

Funny how it all ends up back where we started which was the girls were always going on last. If you read my post on here, I talked about how it was planned to tie into breast cancer month, and they want to put the girls on equal footing to the men for a variety of reasons, including drawing in a larger female fanbase based on the success of Ronda in UFC and general push to equality for women in sports.

But leave that logic to the side, and go with the fake reporters who claim to have inside sources but yet NEVER have a quote from an actual named employee that would be privy to the information they are spewing garbage about.

It's amazing how easily ya'll are manipulated.

[Innovator]

I think they could have gotten more mileage out of it if they promoted it as the main event, give it 2-3 weeks build, SportsCenter/Today Show/etc.

[#1-norm-fan]

Guys... Don't fall into the trap.

I know it's tempting...

Just don't.

[Mr. Nerfect]

What trap? Is someone talking?

[The CyNick]

I think they could have gotten more mileage out of it if they promoted it as the main event, give it 2-3 weeks build, SportsCenter/Today Show/etc.

Its possible. And I mean who knows what's going on behind the scenes. Sasha is not really cut out to be a long term main eventer from a durability standpoint. So who knows if she was dealing with something going in and they didn't want to do major promotion only to not deliver.

But yeah with the tie in with Sportscenter, they could have tried some additional cross promotion.

I still think it accomplished what they wanted. They made history and the girl with the brighter long term future went over. So when you look back at that match in 20 years it will be like if you had the choice between Cena going over a historical match or Daniel Bryan. Both great competitors, both over like rover, but one guy was a flash in the pan.

According to PWI, Austin Aries could be out till March 2017 due to his recent eye injury.

PWInsider.com has confirmed that WWE NXT star Austin Aries has suffered a large orbital fracture from the evil looking kick he received from Shinsuke Nakamura at the NXT house show last week in California.

Aries is slated to undergo surgery later this week in Birmingham, Alabama and will be out of action at least until first quarter of 2017.

[Volare]

Fuuuuuck.

[Mr. Nerfect]

That's a shame for Aries, but I couldn't see him doing much anyway. I hope the time away allows him to return to the scene in a bigger way for himself.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm about to listen to Lance Storm's new podcast. I'm intrigued to hear how it will go.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Hmm, already very interesting. Storm talks about his time in the WWE, and how that when he arrived he was actually asked to tone down his promos, because one of the writers got it into his head that Lance Storm should be a Sam the Eagle type character from The Muppets. Storm -- who considers himself to be a straight-laced but more effective promo than a lot of people here would give him credit for -- kept trying to add more to them, but they would tell him to dial it down, then he'd get buried at production meetings.

It makes you wonder, but if Lance Storm could talk better than he was allegedly allowed to, it makes me wonder if the ceiling could have been slightly higher on him. Maybe not as a full-time main event guy, but as an opponent in certain regions or someone who could have laid the foundations to be in that same sort of conversation with Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho as guys who should have been elevated at certain times.

[BigCrippyZ]

Guys... Don't fall into the trap.

I know it's tempting...

:lol: It's so much fun though, until it's not.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It's fun thinking about wrestling, but then it grows really tedious trying to use logic and reason with a brick wall.

[Mr. Nerfect]

While he is out recovering with his eye injury, Aries should become a heel manager trying to lead guys against Nakamura. Strong taking up for his fallen comrade could be fun.

If James Ellsworth is going to be in the WWE, I want him to join The Wyatt Family. Why do all Bray's men need to be big guys? Ellsworth can be Bray's sponge for punishment.

* Braun Strowman vs. Sami Zayn

* Brian Kendrick (c) vs. TJ Perkins for the Cruiserweight Championship

* Dolph Ziggler, Heath Slater, Rhyno & The Hype Bros vs. The Miz, The Usos, Kenny & Mikey in an Elimination Match

Lance Storm and Cyrus' podcast was pretty good. They told some interesting stories about their time working the independents and ECW in the past. Hearing Lance Storm talk about booking is always refreshing, because he often backs up my views. Cyrus said what I feel about the women lately. Lance Storm admitted he has a bias since he knows the girls quite close personally, but tried to deflect a lot of the blame of the disappointment around their Cell match onto the booking, but didn't really protest when Cyrus pointed out they weren't good enough to work around the bad booking.

Cyrus likes the Hardy stuff though, so I don't know if that makes his opinion irrelevant to me.

Charlotte and Sascha are hit and miss. I think if they stay within themselves and keep it simple they can have legit 4 star matches if not better, but they try to do too much in the name of building women's wrestling (which I totally get) and they tend to slip on lots of banana peels along the way.

You could argue Storm was better in the ring than both, and I've thought for years there was no reason why he couldn't have been seen on the same level as those two....

WWE superstars like Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Xavier Woods, Sasha Banks, and more are coming to Boom Studios in comic book form. The series will follow multiple wrestlers going about their daily business, like breaking tables, fighting in the ring, and grilling out on top of a WWE truck.

On November 9, the publisher will debut its first comic utilizing the WWE license: WWE: Then. Now. Forever, and you can see a preview of this issue below. This is an introduction to what Boom Studios has in store for fans, when the ongoing WWE series launches in January.

I think if they stay within themselves and keep it simple they can have legit 4 star matches if not better, but they try to do too much in the name of building women's wrestling (which I totally get) and they tend to slip on lots of banana peels along the way.

I think you've nailed it. I was a big fan of the NXT work the women did. But NXT is a fish bowl. I don't know if it was Amato no longer agenting their matches, or if it's just because they're exposed on a week-to-week basis, if it's their personalities being diluted, or a combination of all those things, but the women don't need to fire on as complete a level as they did in NXT.

I also think the mixed messages they are sending with equality does subconsciously have an effect on how they are perceived too. On one hand, they are supposed to be as good as the men, but on the other they make a big deal about how they are as good as the men. I compared it to calling a female comedian a "female comedian" in another thread.

From what I've heard, they did a really contrived false injury spot for Sasha prior to actually getting in the cell. This sort of booking isn't exclusive to the women, but it's melodrama to the point of pantomime. Cesaro and Sheamus went 0-3, 3-3, tie. It's very clunky and fans can see the strings -- and that is when they revolt. Sasha getting up off the stretcher exposed the really broad strokes of what they were trying to achieve. The company couldn't have screamed any louder "We are trying to manipulate you!" That's the sort of thing that people still hold against pro-wrestling when they stupidly point out to people "you know it's fake, right?"

They're also trying to get the women to wrestle men's matches. No, I'm not saying that the HIAC is a male gimmick, but they are getting Sasha to fight off paramedics and trainers like she was Steve Austin. She's a cruiserweight playing heavyweight. Let her wrestle like Sasha Banks -- there is an organic style she can work that will connect with people. This match sounds like an overproduced mess, and people want to be kind about it because they think they're being nice, but it's actually condescending to the abilities of the performers.

[Lock Jaw]

Wait a second.... you didn't even see the cell match and you DERIDED Charlotte's work in the match and now saying all this other stuff.......

Man......

You used to be cool......

[Mr. Nerfect]

No, I'm critiquing the work I've seen from her since she's been main roster. I'm responding to the feedback from the cell, which wasn't promoted in a way that made me really want to see it. I was interested in the match in general, but that was my own notions of what the girls could do going in, and not what the company built around them. It can't be that alien a concept to people to hear a song of an artist and decide you don't want to buy the album, or you see a trailer for a movie and think "Eh, I don't really want to see that." I'm sorry if it sounded like I was actually critiquing Charlotte's specific performance in the match. I am responding to her promo on RAW and the reviews her HIAC performance with Sasha has gotten (mixed, which is a shame, since their work was almost universally lauded in NXT).

But seriously, you've got me thinking about wrestling criticism, which I appreciate. Lately I've been more interesting in responses to the business than the actual product. I might start a thread discussing what is an appropriate objective opinion, if there is one when it comes to such subjective matter, and what is unfounded speculation. At what point can you be assured that Baron Corbin is boring, etc.

Gawker settles Hulk Hogan privacy case for $31m

The defunct US news website Gawker has settled a lawsuit won by retired US professional wrestler Hulk Hogan for $31m (£25m).

The privacy case forced Gawker to declare bankruptcy earlier this year, after a jury awarded Mr Hogan $140m over a leaked sex tape.

Mr Hogan's legal bill was paid by tech billionaire Peter Thiel, who said he wanted to curb Gawker's "bullying". Gawker shut down in August following the judgement.

The website, launched in the early 2000s, was known for its acerbic tone and aggressive coverage of celebrities.

The case involved a video posted by Gawker in 2012 after Mr Hogan was secretly recorded having sex with his friend's wife. The settlement was announced on Wednesday in a blog post by Gawker founder Nick Denton, who called the conclusion of the case "a hard peace".

He said the company and staff were confident the appeals process would reduce the judgement against Gawker, but that "all-out legal war would have cost too much, and hurt too many people, and there was no end in sight."

Mr Denton also said that as part of the settlement, three "true stories " would be "removed from the web".

Mr Thiel co-founded PayPal and was an early stakeholder in Facebook.

In a New York Times article in August explaining why he had funded the case, he said his own privacy had been violated when Gawker outed him as a gay man in 2007. Campaign group Reporters without Borders, however, criticised Mr Thiel's "secret" involvement in the case, calling it a "serious threat" to press freedom.

As part of the settlement deal, two other cases against Gawker journalists were also dropped, Mr Denton said in his blog post. He said it was "a settlement that allows us all to move on, and focus on activities more productive than endless litigation."

Mr Denton, who was also held liable along with the journalist who wrote the article, filed for personal bankruptcy following the $140m judgement.

Gawker media also filed for bankruptcy, and shuttered the long-running blog Gawker.com in August.

Its sister sites on the media network - including popular special interest sites Deadspin, Polygon and Jezebel - were acquired by Univision, and continue to operate.

[The CyNick]

I think this would be a better Survivor Series card than the one we will be getting:

* Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg

* AJ Styles (c) vs. Dean Ambrose for the WWE World Championship

* Kevin Owens (c) vs. Seth Rollins vs. Chris Jericho in a Triple Threat for the Universal Championship

* Becky Lynch (c) vs. Natalya with Bret Hart as Special Guest Referee for the Women's Championship

* Jack Swagger gives an "American Open Challenge" (answered by Cesaro)

* Braun Strowman vs. Sami Zayn

* Brian Kendrick (c) vs. TJ Perkins for the Cruiserweight Championship

* Dolph Ziggler, Heath Slater, Rhyno & The Hype Bros vs. The Miz, The Usos, Kenny & Mikey in an Elimination Match

* The New Day, Enzo & Cass vs. Sheamus, Gallows, Anderson & The Shining Stars in an Elimination Match (Cesaro is forced to sit out by the heels who are one man over)

Sounds like every other PPV.

The beauty of The Network is that you can create these events that are unique, but in itself dont need to draw as a standalone show. The reasoning for scaling back on the Survivor Series matches in the past was that the event was always the weakest of the "big 4". But now you can make this is a special show, and dont have to worry about how many buys it gets. I'm looking forward to seeing some of these guys interact, even though they've only been separated for a few months. Next year when the Series rolls around, it will be even more special.

On top of that it prolongs some of these other programs. We already know the main event for the next PPV, which is the right place to blowoff that program.

Instead of doing all these SS Elimination Matches at the PPV, I'd be more interested if they did a champion vs. champion series. The titles are already fairly devalued, you can use it to splinter off new programs for the guys and gals.

* AJ Styles (c) vs. Dean Ambrose for the WWE Title
* Brock vs. Goldberg
* Owens, Jericho, Rusev, Sheamus & Strowman vs. Rollins, Zayn, Cesaro, Enzo & Cass
* Orton vs. Harper
* Charlotte vs. Becky
* New Day vs. Slater & Rhyno
* Reigns vs. Ziggler
* The Miz vs. TBA in a match arranged by Daniel Bryan to give Miz an opportunity to prove he can be a warrior -- opponent revealed to be Lance Storm
* Kendrick vs. Tyson Dux for the Cruiserweight Title(because they're in Canada)
* Sasha, Bayley, Dana, Nia & Alicia vs. Nikki, Nattie, Naomi, Alexa & Carmella in the one interpromotional SS match

Side Kendrick note: His gimmick is obviously not the same as it was in 2008, but would anyone be opposed to seeing Ezekiel Jackson back in the corner of Kendrick? I mean, the guy was never going to be what they envisioned him to be. He's way too clunky for today's era. But as the "difference maker" in Kendrick's corner, I thought he brought a lot of realism to the shtick.

I guess they could basically put anyone in the role of Kendrick's lackey, but Big Zeke would just be that through-line from the classic Kendrick days.

[Mr. Nerfect]

If we do get AJ Styles vs. Shawn Michaels at the Alamo Dome (and I do hope we do), then is it possible that we could see HBK the part-time attraction? If he's working the Rumble, why not WrestleMania? Brock vs. HBK is a dream match that I couldn't miss for anything in the world. I don't know how you get there exactly, but you could get there. HBK never got payback for that arm being broken.

Would have been a pretty good "passing of the torch" moment for WCW's next era. Still would have to deal with Goldberg getting his first loss but maybe the aftermath wouldn't have been as bad or dumb as what happened in reality.

Good/Bad news regarding the Universal title based on recent sheet stuff being confirmed true.

The good news is the Universal title is about to get a lot more priority for RAW after Survivor Series and the bad news being its all due to Reigns getting involved.

The arena for the next RAW ppv, Roadblock, confirmed Reigns vs Owens for the Universal title is set to happen. May or may not end up being a title vs title type match since sheets hinted at it being the match stip.

Doesn't help when one of the igniters fucked up, he actually had to crouch to be hidden in what was left of the front pyro. Just surprises me that wcw done it so much better, the wwe version looks pish by comparison.

Ah, just found out that Drew Galloway, Jay Lethal, Carlito, Justin Gabriel and Magnus will also be there.

I'm pretty sure I'll be going to this now.

These guys appear to be better at getting bigger names to come here compared to the local indy promotion, which only seems to manage to get two big names a year to come here and one of them is always Ted DiBiase.

Do you not understand physics? The ladder is not going to randomly turn itself sideways or something. And you act like they are in the middle of the crowd. That's the bottom of the ramp right where the fans are barricaded and even elvated away from the ring.

Not even to get to the idea that the WWE does the same types of shit with ladders on the regular...

Finn Balor has said he wants to see Hogan back. The feelers have been dropped. He'll be back and it'll be interesting to see how people react.

Wouldn't be surprised at some short term outrage but nothing lasting because wrestling being a low priority in the mainstream. Will be intersting how the WWE tries to spin things in a positve way.

If it wasn't for Gawker being despised a ton more, Hogan probably has no chance at rehabbing his mainstream image.

Checking out the UK Tour page on WWE.com and they've accidentally labeled Aberdeen as being in England.

Might watch this...... was watching season 1 as it aired here on a channel, but stopped..... had like 12+ episodes on my DVR and decided to just delete them all and stop recording more.......

Was just "too much wrestling" added to the WWE stuff....

In addition, kind of "got tired" of a lot of the actual wrestling being big spot after big spot....

At the same time was "intrigued" by all the characters, and storylines......

[Damian Rey 2.0]

In an update for my new endeavor into NJPW, watched the main event heavyweight title match for Wrestle Kingdom, which was just fucking stellar, as well as both Styles and Nakamura's last match.

Really really like what I've seen. Making it a regular habit of catching their show now. Definitely fills my weekly fix.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Sin Cara and Chris Jericho reportedly got into a backstage fight on the overseas tour. Details about what the fight was about or whether Sin Cara is still undefeated in backstage scuffles are not available. Sin Cara has got balls, but I can see an altercation with Jericho being the downfall of his run in the company, although I think Jericho is one of the boys enough to let it go.

Mojo Rawley also cut a promo in fluent Arabic. Apparently he is of Arabic descent, but I still think this goes to my theory that they will eventually try to turn him into the next John Cena.

Think that pretty much is the style with Lucha in regards to favoring high flying spots and constant action. Its a big reason why WWE's new Cruiser division feels flat since its trying to work the slower WWE theatrical style instead.

[DaveWadding]

Lucha Libre in general is this way. Some people were super impressed with Metalik and Dorado during the CWC, but I wasn't because they worked the very boring WWE version of lucha style.

Seems like that might be the case with Sin Cara since one of the sources implied he both started it and won't be able to escape punishment like he did with the Gotch fight.

With Raw and SmackDown being in Scotland this week, I'm fully expecting a number of things to possibly happen.

1. Someone wears a kilt
2. We see tartan attire or attire with the Scottish flag on it
3. An Andy Murray reference is made
4. We hear bagpipes
5. Someone makes fun of bagpipes
6. Someone mentions Haggis, Irn-Bru or deep fried Mars Bars
7. Someone wears a Tam o' shanter or the touristy one that has ginger hair attached to it
8. A reference to Braveheart is made
9. Attempts will be made at either a Scottish Accent (that will possibly sound Irish) or a Scotticism
10. Lastly, this is a long shot but Celtic and/or Rangers will be mentioned

[Cool King]

I'm expecting to get at least a 5/10.

[Big Vic]

I will take the under.

Talks of an Undertaker and Michelle McCool vs Ric Flair and Charlotte Flair are in the works for a "Streak vs Streak" match at WrestleMania despite Undertaker having one loss.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Yeah no thanks. If Taker has to wrestle, I'd rather him go against someone who can still go.

If they want a high profile, previous gen star to wrestle Charlotte, ask Lita to put her over.

[Nicky Fives]

Charlotte/Sasha for Mania, stipulation being it will be the last time they will face each other for a year or with the loser going to Smackdown.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Yeah but that devalues SD because the loser is banished there.

They've already ran enough Charlotte v Sasha. Let those two move on to something else for a while before revisiting.

According to both Forbes and TMZ, Hogan is currently rumored to be wrestling at Mania next year and very likely will be his retirement match. Brooke Hogan pretty much stated Vince has been personally contacting Hogan for a while in regards to a possible return to the WWE.
