Not a Rasslemania 9 ending at all.

Deacon Batista only?

I would have Seth Rollins win and just as he celebrates with the belt, holding it up in the air there is a HUGE explosion, the ring shakes and Rollins is "blown to bits". Mohhamed Hassan's music hits and it turns out "BAH GAWD! HASSAN'S PLANTED A BOMB IN THE BELT! SETH ROLLINS IS DEAD!"

That was weak even for a Curtis post :|

Terrible thread idea. Everyone knows who Cena is passing the torch too. Its The RYBACK BIG GUY.

Not to nitpick but even the shit-take in the ring that was the end of WMIX was worse than the gloryhole clusterfuck that was the ending of WMXIII. If you want to argue with me on this I will repeatedly remind you that WMXIII featured PAPA FUCKING SHANGO.

That was VIII. XIII was Undertaker getting a face-ful of Sid shit.

It's possible that Papa Shango came out at the end of WrestleMania VIII to cast a spell on Sid that would force him to shit his pants 5 years later.

Now, THAT'S long-term booking!

Why would you make this post?

Showing an example to why he had to nip the conversation in the bud? Duh.

No. That's not even close to it.

Whatever.

Yeah but it also had the huge pop of return of the Ultimate Warrior!!!!

Savage won the belt back ohh yeah dig it.

Piper/Bret was a classic.

Mania 9 was the era of the WrestleCrap gimmicks

1. Doink(S)
2. Flexy Lexy Narcissus
3. Kona Crrrrrrrrush.
4. The Giant Gonzales.
5. Non-MR. Bob Backlund.

Wrestlemania 8 was atrocious

WrestleMania 8 was better from top to bottom. The end of WrestleMania 9 gets shit on way more than it should be though.

I actually want to see John Cena beat Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble somehow, leading to Cena vs. Reigns and Brock vs. Bryan at Mania. What's the latest on Bryan's health? It's obvious that the WWE is going to go with Reigns now, even though I don't think the timing is right. Lesnar vs. Reigns just has no appeal to it. Cena vs. Reigns at least has that "poster boy vs. poster boy" vibe to it. And it gives Cena one last main event and a 16th World Title.

Ric Flair can come out and talk about how proud he is of Cena, then Brock can attack Cena and Flair, brutalizing Flair, to get more heat back on him. Fast Lane can be another match between the two, this time a Street Fight or something. This is where Daniel Bryan gets involved and helps Cena win, leading to Bryan vs. Brock at WrestleMania.

Reigns should probably beat Cena for the title, but I don't see him having a long reign before Cena gets desperate, turns heel, and brings back The Authority. Maybe Cena helps Seth Rollins win the title that way, and Cena and Reigns continue to fight away from the title as someone like Bryan or Ambrose chases the title for a few months?

I have absolutely no interest in Lesnar vs. Reigns. I love the idea of a Shield triple threat, but if they don't wanna have another triple threat main event I'd much rather see Reigns vs. Cena than Lesnar. Not really interested in Reigns at all though.

Rollins vs. Reigns vs. Ambrose was on my proposed WrestleMania card a few months ago, but not for the World Title, rather Rollins would be forced into putting his title shot on the line.

Feel like I called this very early and couldn't be happier with it. Still maintain he had the best year out of anyone and he deserves it. Lots of potential opponents too!

Some will hate it, I'm sure, but I think it is great and he is a massive part of the future.

Well deserved and great way to cap of a Mania that was full of surprises!

He's a good transitional champ, but should never be the "guy".

Seth Rollins is basically Chris Jericho

No shame in that though, is there? A guaranteed Chris Jericho for the next decade is no bad thing! Always the chance that he might just get better and better too. From an athletic standpoint, he is amazing to watch too.

Absolutely not! That's not a knock on Rollins. Jericho is tremendous.

Lance Storm has said on numerous occasions that he'd rather be a Barry Windham (I think it was him) than an Ultimate Warrior. I wonder how many of today's guys would rather be a Chris Jericho than a John Cena.

I heard this on I think JR's podcast and it's so true: Rollins isn't going to be "the guy". He's going to be the guy who gets "the guy" over.

Also not a bad thing to be.here are only ever going to be two "guys" at the most. Cena is still "the guy" in the company right now, and Rollins isn't going to push past a bunch of the other candidates to become the "guy" while the others are still around.

Rollins will have a role comparable to a Savage or a DDP in his time; an upper echelon guy who had a great deal of time at the top but was never the standard-bearer of the company.

I think Chris Jericho is a great comparison to Rollins

Agree with Rollins being akin to Jericho.

Big question is who is "the guy"? Cause it sure as shit ain't Reigns. No matter how long they keep this push of his going, he just doesn't have that intangible "it" factor that it takes to be the face of the WWE. Only a few guys throughout history have had it, and honestly, I don't see anyone on the roster that does.

There are guys who have some of the elements, like Ryback, Cesaro, and Ziggler, but no one has that full package, and I can't see any of them developing into it either.

I think Reigns could be a fine main event heel with a mouthpiece like Heyman to do the talking while he does the ass kicking.

As far as who could be THE guy if they booked them as such...

Ryback or Johnny Curtis.

I also agree that Rollins could be the guy who gets "the guy" over. I just don't think you end your biggest show of the year with a secondary guy on top.

Actually, STD was spot on. People here like to make deals out of things, like my comment towards you. It was NEVER meant in a hateful way, Inexplained that you numerous times, yet you felt the need to fucking cry about it for days, to the point you don't even talk to me these days. Which ironically proves my point even further, even though it was a throw away comment.

Just man up over it, accept my apology because I did mean nothing by it, and stop being a girl over it.

For the record, I WAS showing a bit of malice towards you this time,me cause somebody who works as an entertainer really should take things better, even more so if there was so malice towards said comment.

Also, good call on picking this :y:

Here's the deal, Tazz Dan...

Maybe find a way to make "joke" posts that don't clearly shit on someone you generally disagree with if you mean no malice. Because it comes off as you meaning malice but wanting to avoid any retribution by calling "no malice!" and therefore being able to claim anyone who has a retort is just being "overly sensitive". As does you replying to a post 3 months later that you know is gonna start an argument even though everyone else involved has surely forgotten that it was ever even a thing. I mean... What else reason could you have for digging that up?

I'm not even getting into judging your character or anything. But just... look at this situation. Even if you're just TRYING to rile people up for your own amusement so you can laugh if you succeed... at the very least that's just a dickhead move. lol

I don't think there is "the guy" yet

Here's the deal,

You have zero credibility as a poster or a person, so I'm not actually going to read further than the first line. Just because 98% of the people here get me, and a few don't, doesn't mean I'm going to change my posting style or who I am.

lol Welp, I tried.

Tazz Dan deleted this thread saying that it was "causing too much drama". I undeleted it, because the subject matter is incredibly pertinent right now.

If there's any "drama" here, it was all created by you, Tazz Dan. You posted some pretty scathing posts as recently as yesterday. #1-wwf-fan hit my sentiments directly on the head, so I won't go any further from there, but there's no reason to delete this thread. Maybe you can delete your own very stupid posts instead.

Seth Rollins closing out WrestleMania as champ is a pretty big deal for him. I absolutely love this guy's persona. He's wormy as shit, but he's also got this weird credibility about him. He reminds me, in some ways, of Triple H circa 2000. He also reminds me a lot of Edge. I think he'll be the sort of guy that racks up a lot of World Championships, but doesn't necessarily get to be the top guy. That being said, when it comes time to turn him face, he might get white-hot.
