Man, this is a killer. Just laying out the current situation, we have:
Brock Lesnar - not around John Cena - not around Daniel Bryan - injured Randy Orton - injured Sting - assumed injured Rusev - injured Undertaker - occupied Kane - occupied Bray Wyatt - occupied Luke Harper - occupied Erick Rowan - occupied Braun Strowman - occupied The New Day - probably occupied Lucha Dragons - probably occupied - Possible Survivor Series field: Roman Reigns Dean Ambrose Sheamus King Barrett Alberto Del Rio Jack Swagger Dolph Ziggler Kevin Owens Ryback Cesaro R-Truth Tyler Breeze Usos Fuck me. I don't want to come off negative, but that looks like such a weak field. Hopefully they inject some life into it, but going back to Sheamus or Del Rio as top heels to carry things after the last 5 years of strong pushes and miserable failures really doesn't feel like the way to go at a time when ratings and house shows are already below par. ![]() ![]() Crazy Like A Fox - The Definitive Chronicle of Brian Pillman 20 Years Later **Featuring interviews with members of the Pillman family, Dave Meltzer, Kim Wood, Raven, Jim Cornette, Mark Madden, Shane Douglas, Mark Coleman, Alex Marvez, Les Thatcher and many more close friends and colleagues** Available on Amazon now: http://amzn.to/2h93SxL |

Considering all those rumors that keep going around about Vince wanting Ambrose to go with a more "Vegas" style character wouldn't he fit in better as the new Corporate Champ?

I hadn't heard that about a vegas character...could be interesting.

All depends how many guys they want in the tournament.
Im assuming it's an 8 man tournament at the event. Reigns Big E Del Rio Cesaro Ambrose Wyatt Ziggler Owens That would be my field assuming no outsiders. Would be cool if they could get some other guys like Jericho or Rock, but I'm assuming that's not happening. If Reigns was meant to turn heel, this would be perfect way to do it. Have it come down to Reigns v Ambrose and Ambrose gets screwed. Ambrose v Reigns have a program culminating prior to Mania. Brock wins Rumble and sets up the match with Reigns. |

Can someone clarify something for me. This whole tournament business, does that mean the elimination tag match between the Wyatts and Taker and Kane has now been shelved?
I mean how can you have a tournament to crown a champion and not include Wyatt in there and for that matter Taker given the whole event is being billed as his 25th anniversary? I for one wouldn't mind seeing Taker (or Sting) lifting the belt come the end of the night. Sure it would make no fucking sense given the beating he just took from Lesnar but didn't Austin win the belt off The Rock after a beating from Triple H at the previous PPV? I think the whole event should be tournament matches and the obligatory WWE title match. I for one would tune into that from start to finish with intrigue as opposed to just playing it in the background and tuning in as and when my main match is on. |

So that would mean an 8 person tournament if it was only tournament matches. They did a 14 person tourny back in 98, but that was in the era of 4 minute matches. Don't see that today. My guess is WWE will start with 8 guys on RAW, but have the Final 4 on the Network Special. That allows them to have other matches like a tag title match, a Divas title match, and whatever they had planned for the Wyatts to make it a more compete show. I guess they could always make it a 4 hour show. But don't know if that's possible with such short notice. |

If the tournament wasn't the plan could do a regular survivor series elimination match without teams. Sole survivor wins the WWE title.

Is there any viability to pushing the Undertaker into the title picture given the list of absentees?
What about Sting? And the likelihood Cena and Lesnar would be returning in time? |

Wouldn't mind Taker if Bray was the one to beat him for the title, but rewriting the Wyatt situation at the moment would be rough. That was about the only storyline going that I was actually interested in.

Only one way to determine how to do this................
Put the entire roster in a Royal Rumble sim match on WWE 2k16 and see how it plays out. Then creative can take it from there. |

That would be a great way to open the show. Advertise a "mystery entrant" to give a nod to how the Undertaker came in. Then similar to how the Rock's intro as the guest host for WM went, you dim the lights and play some incidental music for about 15 seconds then very slowly bring up a whole shitload of red, white, and blue lighting, hit a BOOM BOOM BOOM with the pyro, five seconds of silence and dark, cue music. Angle wins the title at the end of the night and all true beleiving wrestling fans are taken in the Rapture. |

Just the Semis on PPV would be so weak. This should be massive news and the focus of the whole night. Everything should revolve around this tournament now.
They should build up having to win 3 matches in one night and focus on that Taker and Bray can still have their match and you can have Divas on the pre-show. That is still only 8 matches on the main card, less if someone gets a bye because of shenanigans |

Ambrose battles through a harder draw (Del Rio, then Kevin Owens) after getting injured by the armbreaker in his first match.
Reigns looks fresh against a bandaged up and exhausted Ambrose in the final. Spear sends ref sprawling, Ambrose looks like he will get the win after dirty deeds, HHH appears with chair, Reigns beats Ambrose down, ref comes to for the 3. You make Reigns the top heel and Ambrose gets all the sympathy in the world for his struggles on the night. To give it that epic feel it all needs to happen on the one night. |
