Thought Haas retired.

Been working so much can't really get into the WrestleMania spirit. Just watched NXT and got hyped watching the American Alpha package.

I like a good American Alpha package. :naughty:

Just when they get rid of Mil, here comes fucking Matanza

Say it, say it Poit

I'm totes ready and willing.

ANNNNNNNNDDDDDDD /upward inflection

Gable!

Damn, he's cute.

Put them in a chance where the odds are higher they will get injured.
Seems like a smart move to me :roll:

What if everyone in the IC match got injured in the span of five minutes....

Zack Ryder and Sin Cara in the IC Title Ladder Match. Didn't see that coming.

I wonder how this card would have looked with John Cena and Randy Orton there? I always imagined Orton to be facing Bray Wyatt, but with Wyatt hurt would Orton vs. Harper be happening?

I'm really surprised that Chris Masters hasn't ended up back in the WWE. The guy is still built like a brick house, he's got more experience than when they called him up green as fuck, he's still in the business, he seems like a cool guy, he saved his mother from a burning house with a fucking tree, and he's still only 33 fucking years old.

There's some real money left on the table with this dude.

WrestleMania set construction has begun

After hearing a few people joke about Hogan possibly becoming Dixie Carter's new TNA investor, a bizarre thought popped into my head: Could you ever envision Hogan starting up his own wrestling promotion?

How much money do you think a legitimate start-up for something would cost? Is there room in the market for it? Could Hogan viably go to Spike TV and say "Look, brothers -- I'm not going to have anything to do with the creative of this product, we've got this guy for that, but I'm going to lend it my credibility as the biggest star wrestling has ever had. Will you give us two hours on Thursday, brothers? Maybe just a one year tryout?"

Bring in Kevin Sullivan and a Kevin Sullivan team to book it. Lock down guys like Bobby Roode and Eric Young that are free. Bring in guys like Chris Masters and talk to Carlito about coming back over from Puerto Rico. Make sure Ken Anderson is sober and bring him in. Sign The LAX for the tag team side. Bring in great workers like Chris Hero and get them to choose guys they work really well with on the indy scene -- like "Speedball" Mike Bailey. Sign Kota Ibushi to be your cruiserweight sensation. Maybe even bring in a few women like Taya and Amazing Kong (if she's healthy and has her mind in the right place) and have them fight over the NWA Women's Championship to give it some attention.

Oh, and sign Kurt fucking Angle and Goldberg and hope that you can work something out with Lucha Underground where you can spotlight a select few of their talent during off-season, so you can have Rey Mysterio come in and or have a PPV kick off with a Fenix vs. Pentagon, Jr. match, or just have Johnny Mundo's abs on television.

Eventually more talent will come over from TNA. Bobby Lashley, James Storm, The American Wolves and The Hardys (imagine a Matt Hardy vs. Awesome Kong freak show clash on PPV) are probably your real targets. Maybe EC3. Hell, maybe you eventually dissolve TNA into your product and just quietly refresh a lot of the guys there that are really good but have TNA stink on them. Eventually you might even get a few people from the WWE side jump over -- Dolph Ziggler, Zack Ryder, Jack Swagger, Cesaro, The New Day (if they get fucked up and blamed for it), etc. Fuck, you might even be able to land a HUGE signing like Randy Orton, who sometimes seems to be frustrated by the WWE's general direction.

Hogan may or may not get the money, and he's probably done with anything ambitious in wrestling. He'd probably make mention of investing somewhere just to scare Vince into paying him even more money not to and just sit at home. But man, if there's a rich guy with some sort of connection to wrestling that might have something to prove to Vince? It's Hogan. It's my pipe-dream and I'm allowed to have it.

Itd kinda be weird if Sin Cara won the IC title and the lucha Dragons had the IC and US titles..

Pay Jim Ross a shit tonne of money to come back and do commentary with Jim Cornette. Have Cornette play a "what has wrestling become?" heel color guy that laughs at the little guys when they drive each other on their heads.
"Somebody call Cheeseburger's mom, the sauce is a little off."

Work as hard as you can with other promotions like ROH, New Japan, AAA and the NWA to bring in some of their talent, name-drop their usual promotion, give them a good showing and then send them off on their way with a lot more exposure. You'd position yourself as the babyface mega-company.

I'm thinking something weird might happen with the IC Title at WrestleMania. Like Stardust wins it and it snaps him back into being Cody Rhodes, or Zack Ryder or Sin Cara win it. The title has been on Dolph Ziggler and The Miz so many times at this point that it won't help either one of them and might even hurt them. Kevin Owens or Sami Zayn seem like more obvious picks, but they could take each other out and continue their rivalry away from the title. In some weird sort of way, Zack Ryder or Sin Cara winning would actually make a whole lot of sense since they're in there.

I wonder if they put the belt on Ryder just to eventually do the Mojo snap and turn on him?

Sin Cara seems really flat at the moment, but there would be something cool if he got to the top of the ladder, took off his mask and revealed himself to the world and sort of "matured" into this more human character. It'd make it stand out as a moment more.

It really confuses me how they want to have more Hispanic stars, but then have this guy under a mask just pointing at things being a peripheral character. The same goes for Epico y Primo doing that shitty comedy gimmick. Why they aren't doing something more valuable, even if it is low on the card, is beyond me.

Carlito seems more ready than ever for a return to the WWE. Given that, unlike Del Rio, he actually seems to fit within the entertainment paradigm of WWE, I could imagine this being the year where they give him another shot. The New Day vs. The Colons -- I can see it.

Dana Brooke was actually pretty cool last I saw of her, but she needs to be the second in that group as she learns. Then she can turn on Evil Emma and make Evil Emma our hero Evil Emma.

New Day vs Luchas for all belts

Cause New Day having almost all the belts would be great

That would fucking rock.

Have Kofi Kingston as the IC Champion, Xavier Woods hamming it up as the United States Champion and Big E goes after the World Title. :y:

A bit early for Big E, granted, but he doesn't need to succeed first time out.

4 Horsemen = 3 Unicorns-men! Whooooo!

Funny Macho Man impression

New Day Sucks.

Rock can be more entertaining by himself.

Rusev is lame also.

I never want to hear Jim Cornette utter another sentence about anything.

Cannot believe there a people out there who still want to hear what this out of touch dinosaur has to say about anything anymore. When Russo is coming out with more sense than you, something is definitely wrong.
