SWERVE! WWE just begins reporting that EVERYONE on the roster is injured and will be out to obfuscate the actual injured parties!

I watched Smackdown. Fuck me, I like Lawlers commentary. In 2016.

Should be because of Mauro Ranallo but i noticed last night he wasnt as good, like they told him stop being good

Oh no, I did at first tune in for him. Was just shocked that after about 13 years of wishing King would retire I actually liked him going back to his heel shtick.

#30 has been really weird the last couple of years. Ziggler got a really nice pop when he entered mainly because the smark crowd had turned on the match completely and Ziggler was one of the only guys left in the match that the crowd would have accepted winning.

But then in 2014 they sent poor Mysterio out there to get booed relentlessly. That spot almost HAD to go to a heel because the crowd was demanding Bryan. My personal favorite idea was to send out Barrett (who had JUST started his Bad News persona) with Bryan's music. He would have gotten nuclear heat and it would have been great.

In general though #30 should always be somebody who can at least plausibly win. Imagining the announcers trying to sell Stardust or somebody as a guy who can actually win just because he's coming out last would be ridiculous.

They did that with X Pac one year. Was silly.

this would have been one of my favourite wrestling moments of all time. Especially when reading afterwards from some blirts why it would have been the "wrong kind of heat"

Indeed. Barrett coming out to Bryans music would have made me shit bricks. I'm imaging it in my head right now and it is so epic that I might retcon it into my memory banks as what actually transpired that night.

I'm really starting to think that all the talk of pushing Strowman into the main event by WM is just hot air and always has been. I don't see it. I know Vince with his historic hard-on for big men probably has thought about it, but he has to see Strowman is way too green and he can't afford a big misstep with all the injuries right now. Not to mention he wants ratings and Strowman is not ratings material (right now anyways).

You would basically have to have Strowman eliminate Bray from the Rumble. Then they have to have a match at Fastlane in which Strowman goes over. But how does that even give them time to vault Strowman to anything near the ME?? At this point they have buried the Wyatts so much that a win over Bray wouldn't mean much. Do you throw Strowman at Undertaker? Bray couldn't beat you, but I beat him so I can? Hello, all 4 of you couldn't beat Taker/Kane, so where's the logic there? Or did Kane make that big of a difference? LMAO cmon. Bray is more likely to be in the ME than Strowman. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get Taker again tbh.

Hasnt stopped him with Roman. I really dont see the appeal of Strowman either. Hate his sleeper hold move to, people pass out like 3 seconds after he applies it and it looks weak. They dont take Wyatt serious enough though and thats a shame because that character has the most potintial on the roster.

Brother just sent me this link pretty funny.

Holy hell those are gold!!

TOMORROW guys, make sure to tune into CHW carnage for this match!

I was thinking today that if this year's Rumble is as disappointing as the last two, that'll be the trigger to unsubscribe from the Network. I was set on this; determined. Then I thought about Nakamura, Styles, and the Bullet Club being brought in, and I questioned that decision.

I wonder if that was intentional. You know? WWE gets those rumors out there so they can take another huge shit on the Rumble, but there's this carrot still dangling to keep people on the Network.

I don't think they purposefully shit the bed the last two Rumbles. I honestly believe that Vince thought in his heart that Batista Orton was going to be a huge headline and that Reigns was ready to make the leap, even though clearly neither were the best ideas.

This year they've been cornered. It's not their fault that three would be main eventers are all out.

Backlash from the investors and maybe possible legal issues wouldn't be worth the lying for the WWE.

Last week’s season finale of Breaking Ground featured Tyler Breeze being called up to the main WWE roster, but by the time it aired Breeze had already been moved down the card. According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Triple H legitimately wanted him protected and saw him as a heel on the level of Dolph Ziggler, which is why he feuded with him at the start. Vince McMahon was not convinced of this, and ended his push. He stripped down the character, putting less emphasis on his entrance and then not showing it on TV. Then they split him from Summer Rae with no build or programs leading out of the break up.

Some more details regarding Breeze and his dropped push.

So, the new announce team, almost certainly including Josh Barnett, would start at that point.

Just over an hour ago, there was a major development in one of the concussion-related lawsuits filed against WWE. Back on October 30th, WWE had requested a stay on discovery (document production) and it was granted on November 10th. Today, that all changed, as Judge Vanessa Bryant lifted the stay, granting limited discovery as it pertains to the claims of Vito Lograsso (Big Vito) and former developmental talent Evan Singleton. Besides the discovery being confined to Singleton and Lograsso’s claims and not the other lawsuits, the judge limited it to these questions:

(1) whether WWE had or should have had knowledge of and owed a duty to disclose to those plaintiffs the risks of long-term degenerative neurological conditions resulting from concussions or mild traumatic brain injuries to wrestlers who performed for WWE in the year 2005 or later,

(2) whether and when WWE may have breached that duty, and

(3) whether such a breach, if any, continued after Singleton and LoGrasso ceased performing for WWE.

While the scope of the discovery could change if pending the outcome of WWE’s motions to dismiss, this is a huge win for the wrestlers’ side and their lawyer, Konstantine Kyros. The complaints in the lawsuits have heavily pushed the idea that WWE, like the NFL, hid information about developments in concussion science from the talent. While no real proof of that has surfaced as of yet, if anything like that were to exist within WWE’s archives of internal communication, that would deal a huge blow to their defense. That’s a big “if,” though.

Same tactic used against the NFL that lead to them settling was used successfully against the WWE. For some reference, the head of WWE's medical is the same doctor that was involved in the NFL's concussion controversy. http://www.sescoops.com/significant-...g-against-wwe/

Some other sheet news includes:

According to MLW's Court Bauer, POP TV has recently reworked their tv deal with TNA which involves them paying some money to show Impact on the network and have at least 1 new TNA show to be made.
Based on recent NXT house show reports, WWE might be teasing at a possible Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens feud happening very soon.
City of Orlando's mayor recently confirmed they have made a bid to host next year's Wrestlemania. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/...115-story.html

Zayn vs Owens would make a good Wrestlemania match. Too bad it would not be for a title. If only Owens had actually won the US title from Cena and kept it strong.

As for Tyler Breeze... yeah, just watched that last ep of Breaking Ground and was like "Well, congrats to graduating to not being featured on TV"

I wonder if "everyone" also includes Chris?

Seems like Alexandre is soon to be known as "The Man of 1004 Cumshots".

It's 5am and I'm watching paragon pro wrestling on MSG.

This is horrible yet i oddly find this better than tna

Fandango and Tyler Breeze as a tag team. Book it.

Jerry Lawler should have always been a heel commentator. I hope 2016 is a glory year for him.

Yeah I get it, set the series to record, next show is in 1/23.

Bryan Alvarez mentioned on Wrestling Observer Live that he’s heard that Hulk Hogan could be brought back to WWE in time for WrestleMania 32. Dave Meltzer mentioned on the same podcast that he wouldn’t rule out Hogan’s return however WWE isn’t going to rush to bring him back if there is a high risk of backlash.

PWInsider mentioned this week that WWE wouldn’t bring Hogan back until his lawsuit with Gawker is resolved. Hogan’s trial with Gawker is scheduled to begin near WrestleMania.

For some clarity Alvarez also mentioned the chance of Hogan actually appearing at Mania is very small. Both agreed that its up to WWE's advertisers to be ok with any future Hogan appearance regardless how much support Hogan still has with the public and within the WWE.

Hogan vs New Day at WM

Hogan vs Reigns for the title with Hogan going over clean. Only way to save this Wrestlemania.

Hogan cleanly jobs to prove he is not a racist anymore. Feel the powerrrrrrrrrr it's a new day yes it is (brother)

Wouldn't hogan get boo'd or maybe mixed reaction.

How many "We The People" chants did Jack Swagger get when he was facing the face Del Rio? Wrestling fans are racist. Cheers brother. Nothing but cheers.

Its just a catch phrase, people would chant "die rocky die" and then say "If you smellllll" with him

But yeah a good portion are racist......WM32 is in Dallas too.

I actually once envisioned an angle where Hogan came back to suck up to New Day, but they kicked his ass to massive cheers. I can't see it happening though.

I would take back everything bad I've said about WWE in the past year if they had New Day beat Hogan to a pulp. That would be fucking hilarious.

Vince Russo actually made a very good point in something I saw recently. It's about the babyface characters making promises and then breaking them. He cited Dean Ambrose promising to get his hands on Kevin Owens on RAW and then being nowhere near the main event.

Ambrose has been a big victim of this over the years. He's meant to be someone the average person can put their stock in, but he loses the big one too often. Right now he's carving out a niche as the Intercontinental Champion, which is fine and dandy and a good spot for him -- but his prospects as being a top guy on the comparative level of a modern Stone Cold Steve Austin were kind of dashed when he kept getting beaten by whoever he was facing.

I know we're likely to get a New Day four-way clusterfuck for the Tag Titles at WrestleMania, but I really want them to get a tag team story that matters for Mania. Maybe the answer is The Bullet Club? I don't know if you go with AJ Styles & Karl Anderson, AJ Styles & Finn Balor or Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows as the tag team, but any combination could be a pretty memorable Tag Team Title opener.

If The Wyatt Family have nothing to do, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing The New Day use their powers of positivity to do battle against The Reapers of the Dark either. The Wyatt Family might seem like "heavier" players, but The New Day are over.

I like New Day vs the Wyatts if Bray is busy with another match. If Bray was to be in the match then I'd like to see Shelton Benjamin return and join New Day to even the odds.
