Bryan/HBK, Lesnar/Rollins and Becky/Rhonda are the only 3 there that'd I wanna see. Shane/Miz sounds like it'd free a fucking train wreck.

I was just sitting around thinking about how I would like Mania to go. I'm on a Bryan vs. Cesaro kick at the moment. This new Bryan character is ripe for making someone -- especially someone with a surplus of ring talent. Bryan being put-off by Cesaro's ring work could make for a great story. Bryan is the guy to get people invested in Cesaro if anyone can.
Benefits to this: * Good morale boost for those who aren't happy in WWE. Cesaro seems like a guy who would be respected. Also, if he doesn't get an opportunity, I can eventually see him leaving when his contract expires, and you don't want the perception of talented people leaving WWE for places they can wrestle. * It would be a kick-ass match. * Could steal the weekend at a time when New Japan and ROH will be making their biggest play for notoriety. * Cesaro seems to fit the "sports presentation" element FOX apparently want, as dubious as I am of that. Run AJ vs. Shawn, Cena vs. Braun, Brock vs. Seth vs. Ambrose (if you really need to have Ambrose in there), Ronda vs. Charlotte and Becky vs. Asuka. That's basically your card set. I'd go with Cesaro winning the Rumble in a bit of a shocker with Rollins being eliminated illegally by Ambrose to keep those wheels spinning. Seth can get to Brock through other means. |
I don't put much stock in those rumors of Rock/Brock.
The Rock is one of the busiest men in entertainment and I can't picture him having enough time to train for a match between his film/producing commitments. In addition to that, I'm not sure any of his projects would allow him to do so b/c it could be a liability to them, I believe that has stopped him from wrestling a couple times before (remember - Rock got injured during WM29 pretty badly in his ribcage). |
On RAW I think they subtly hinted at Seth/Brock, when Seth kept mentioning having a problem repeatedly during his promo to Corbin.
|
I can't wait for the Seth promos about how Brock isn't there.

The Mighty Don't Team: Nick Miller released
Sounds like he asked for it because he wanted to return home |

Mr. Meekmahn will be on the post-TLC Raw this Monday Night!

Apparently Miller's got a newborn baby so that's the reason he wanted to go home. Makes sense, and presumably the door is open for him to return.
Shane Thorne might actually have potential as a singles guy. He's got a good look. |
Which one is which?
|
Nick Miller is the one that just got fired, Shane Thorne is still there.

I was very underwhelmed by TMDK in WWE after hearing amazing things about them in NOAH. Oh well.
Why would WWE promote Braun for TLC if he isn't going to make it back? |
Quote:
This seems likely (IMHO) to be a move to attempt to show Nona fide improvements in the weekly product to try to convince USA execs that RAW will be worth renewing their TV contract beyond 2024 and also to show FOX that SDL will be a more sports-themed, less entertainment aspect of a show and assure their execs and investors that they won't be throwing away a billion dollars. That's all just speculation on a couple of things I've seen lately. I have no inside information, I'm just making my best educated guess. |
Haha, they're not going to move away from PG or let talent do their own promos. It will be something on-air to try and fleece viewers. Hulk Hogan as GM or something. Baron Corbin fired and put into a Handicap Match against some babyfaces that beat the crap out of him. They're not going to divorce themselves from their philosophies.

Ronda vs Nattie and Dean vs Roman sounds as tone deaf of an idea as the original WMXXX plans of DBry vs Sheamus II and Orton vs Batista

Ah. Vince discovered Mandy Rose got the 4 B's going for her.
No surprise. |

On Impact Wrestling: It could be a bad sign for wrestling OR it could just be because it's FUCKING TNA!!! Anyone doing any research into that property can find endless articles on what a stupid fucking promotion it's been for a majority of its tenure, how much of its fan-base its lost, and how cynical the attitude towards it from anyone with a brain is. Not only has it lost viewers, but it continues to do so. There is no growth possible with TNA and everybody knows it. That being said:
On RevPro: B-but there's supposed to be a wrestling boom! Bullshit. People say the same thing about Australia and I think "Wtf? No one talks about wrestling." It's not cool, folks, and WWE has gone out of their way to do damage to themselves and the geeks in the business do their best to make sure they aren't cool by doing goofy play-fights. Of course there is no casual fan-base for wrestling in the UK, or Australia, or anywhere else. On WrestleMania 35: It was pretty obvious that the plan was going to be Charlotte/Ronda in a highly promoted Mania main for 35. I would have guessed a Shield Triple Threat as well. Roman vs. Dean, on its own, would have been cold as ice. It would have needed that dynamic of Seth being in there to complete the Shield magic. I'm still doubtful they actually go with Becky against Ronda, since they do like their "plans." Charlotte vs. Ronda is a plan, and I can see them sticking to it. On SmackDown: As I've said before, I'm positive FOX has an out clause with a reasonable amount of time and a reasonable pay-out to WWE should their ratings dip below industry predictions. FOX's official statement bragged about 2 million viewers. If television across the board drops by a percentage that affects that number, I'm sure things will still go ahead as planned, but there is no way that FOX is putting on a WWE product that has gone down 30% if television has only gone down 15%. That decrease is too far outside norms, and it's an indicator of WWE taking money and not delivering the service they offered. You can see WWE begin to respond to this -- not panic, but respond. It'll be interesting to see if they can stop the bleeding or if they've truly lost touch to the point where if they try to fix things they end up making them worse. |

I guessed Blowjobs
|
I had that thought in my mind, but I bet Vince made Mandy blow him much earlier than now.
|
I was gonna say boner inducing.
But blue eyes and blow jobs also work too. |
Mandy Rose is so fucking hot

Fuck off with the triple threat
|
Ugh, triple threat. Not a fan of that at all.
As far as setting it up, I'd guess Charlotte wins the Rumble and Becky takes someone from Raw out at Elimination Chamber, leading both to stake claim to having a shot at Ronda. |
Possible interesting twist for Lesnar's future in MMA and WWE.
Apparently his MMA suspension in Nevada was recently upgraded from a delayed one-year suspension to now an indefinite one due to him failing to pay off his fine in time. He owed $250k as part of his punishment for failing a drug test in 2016 and since his suspension was supposed to end today, the Commission now will only reinstate until after the fine is paid off. Quote:
|
How the fuck did he not pay that on time considering what WWE is paying him?
|
He probably just doesn’t care to.

Huh. |
The Khans own the NFL Stadium in Jacksonville. While that might sound if WM ended up there because of AEW, stranger things have happened.
