BoD Daily Update

Shield Reunion Happening in the Future?

Although the idea is just tentative at this point, there have been talks within the WWE to have the Shield reunite in either late 2015 or 2016 for a short period of time and then maybe have them do it every couple of years.

  1. wwe planning over a year in advance for something is absolutely hilarious

  2. For what it's worth, and again, plans can change, that first news item is a helluva reach even by my standards.

  3. 1. Hell yes. The break up has been done perfect. Let Ambrose and Rollins get their feud over. Let the guys go their separate ways, then reunite later and the pop will blow the roof off of whatever building they are in.

    ReplyDelete
  4. So Vince, does it take a lot of work to switch back and forth between gimmicks?

    ReplyDelete
  5. Which discarded napkin was that first newsbit found on?

    ReplyDelete
  6. Vince who?

    ReplyDelete
  7. Can they not just cancel Smackdown?

    Didn't really care about Shield the first time around.

    If Flair has to read off of a script then don't put him back on tv.

  8. Lot of flame wars breaking out on golden state of mind and warriors world today. Its pretty funny to see wrestling board fights break out on a sports blog.

    ReplyDelete
  9. So they'll change their minds in the Shield reunion forty kajillion times before now and 2016? What's the point of Meltzer even reporting something that far out?

    ReplyDelete
  10. I love how Meltzer reporting discussions is interpreted as Meltzer is reporting that something is FOR SURE GUYS happening.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I can't wait for the Shield to reunite and then have them dump crap on Vince's head when he is rolled out in a wheelchair in 2018!

    ReplyDelete
  14. It certainly makes sense to do Shield reunions down the road, though I wish they'd give Reigns new music so that when they do reune, they could bring it back. I'm not sure if they can keep the Wyatt act going that long, but it would be great to give them an extended feud at some point. I just don't see how they can join together anytime in the next year given how strong their singles pushes are going now.

  15. Some people have difficulty comprehending what they read

    ReplyDelete
  16. Magic sign Channing Frye for 4 years at $32 Million. That is laughable

    ReplyDelete
  17. I wouldn't call it perfect, it worked out way better than I expected it would, but it bugs me a little bit that Reigns didn't seem to mind his former partner hitting him with a sledgehammer all that much. Shouldn't there have been a reigns ambrose vs rollins HH match at a PPV?

    But I guess Bryan getting hurt meant they needed to speed things up.

    It's a pretty minor complaint.

    ReplyDelete
  18. He got a bigger deal than Spencer Hawes and the same amount per year the pacers offered Stephenson... That's terrible

    I will say this about The Shield. Never has the WWE made me change my tune about some one or group faster. When they debuted at Survivor Series 2013 I (ashamedly, but honestly) thought, "Oh great, some jobbers they brought up as an excuse to have Cena / Ryback not win this match." By the time the next month's TLC was over, I was thinking "Good, god this is a super elite killing group of death."

    ReplyDelete
  20. I guess the one thing you can say about Frye is that other than one year where he was hurt he plays every game

    ReplyDelete
  21. 6'10 guys who can shoot three's and not play interior D aren't worth that much at all.

  22. John Cena is SUPER over in South Sudan...

  34. If Ambrose and Rollins ever bury the hatchet, Ambrose still needs to look Rollins in the eye for a long moment and punch him in the nose a few times. Then grab his hand, help him up, and finally give him the big bro hug the crowd will have been waiting for.

  59. With the Shield it's kind of like when Hall and Oates split for a while in 1985. Like Reigns assuredly will, Hall had some solo success, charting with his album Three Hearts in a Happy Ending Machine, and, like Rollins and Ambrose, Oates made his own breaks, co-writing the hit single "Electric Blue" by the band Icehouse. Both worked respectably well on their own, but the parts still wanted the whole. And that's why the fans rejoiced in 1987 when news broke that Daryl and John were back in the studio together, working on the album that would be titled Ooh, Yeah! You guys remember what a mark out moment that was? Well, it's going to be the same thing when the Shield reunite. Mind you, Hall and Oates' greatest hits were already behind them, but their live show was still one of the best in the world, bar none.

  67. Okay I posted this question on the Championship Wrestling thread -- but because I am interested in the Islanders heel turn -- I'll post it here:

    This question is kind of off-topic, but it still involved 1986-87 WWF TV programming, with maybe a reference to early 90's TV programing too:

    Was Championship Wrestling and the early episodes of Superstars taped live? I mean was the announcing done live, or was it done in post production? Piper [and others] noted that the later years had them in the booth dubbing commentary and many have to remember that depending on the market - Superstars either was broadcasted on Saturday or Sunday. So even if they dubbed the broadcasting, they should of had time to edit for mistakes and goofs before broadcast. As a rabbit trail -- this is why I don't think "That's Tony Atlas" was a "shoot moment." In fact, weeks earlier Monsoon on PTW had admitted that Saba Simba was "Tony Atlas returning to his roots," so that was the idea all along -- and seriously -- who really though that was a good idea? [It might have been McMahon or Mooney at that point - but I think Samba Simba might have been pre-live version. Or I'm remembering Monsoon talking about Atlas on Wrestling Challenge.]

    Okay back to the rabbit trail. If Piper had said something in a booth days before broadcast in the syndie market, then Vince could tell his hired goons to edit it out -- unless he had no problem with it. Okay so to the real question from 1987 . . .
    I saw the video of the Islanders vs. the Can/Am Connection. They match that turned the Islanders from fun-loving Samoan Bros to bloodthirsty heels. It was from a post-WrestleMania SuperStars and still had Jesse, Vince, and Bruno as announcers. Bruno has a moment where he goes, "Last week Bobby Hennan promised us a new tag team - I checked this hour sheet and this is the only tag team on the sheet." You can actually hear a cringe in Vince's voice . . . as Jesse just starts giggling. Maybe it was planned, but history recorded that Vince and Bruno hadn't been on good terms since 1985 (or earlier) and Bruno was just about to finally leave for good. Maybe the broadcast had been recorded live, because Vince's cringe and trying to find the words to say is funny. "Uh, I think King . . . Harley Race is teaming up with . . . Hercules." Bruno: "That's not a tag team, or a new team. What are you laughing at?" "Jesse: Nuthin'."

    Later in the match, Bobby shows up and the Islanders turn heel, winning by countout and all of a sudden Vince composes himself as Jesse keeps laughing and goes -- YOU KNEW ALL ALONG, JESSE. Jesse: I knew all along, but I wasn't telling you guys. Was that a cover up for Bruno's gaffe -- or did they set it up like that on purpose? The cringe in Vince's voice, however, makes it seem like Bruno "didn't stick to the script." Although, Bruno's comment comes right after a Islander mid-match promo where Tama just laughs and laughs and laughs and then all of a sudden Bruno goes -- you know Bobby . . . so maybe they just planned it that way.

    Anybody got any thoughts on the Islanders heel turn in 1987?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

    Edit: Vince actually says -- I think it is Mr. Race . . . and Hercules in a tag . . . the cringe is funny. Bruno going -- well, yeah that's it -- was funny too. I guess Vince booked Bruno as senile.

  79. I was never, respectfully, a Santino fan. He was a jobber at best, who was annoying. He was kind of cool as the bland babyface from Italy, but then the E decided to turn him heel -- then give him a character of being annoying - even when he turned face. I haven't really paid attention to him for a few years, maybe he got better -- but seriously, I never really liked the guy.
    I wish Epstein Ramon hasn't had a falling out with the E due to drugs or lack of interest or whatever it was. He was more entertaining than Santino was.
    I would have loved to see Braun the Leprechaun wrestle Hornswoggle though. But then again, I the WWE network to create "The King Curtis Iukea Show" that highlights his ongoing feud with Hulk Hogan from 1986-87 until the Dungeon of Doom days. Why didn't he ever get over -- he screamed enough.
    And bring the Machines back -- we can have Show Machine, Ryder Machine, Zigger Machine, and repackage a bunch of guys and pretend they are Japanese rednecks.

  108. I agree about the Bischoff titantron interview, but it WAS very informative. It's like they knew they had him under contract and wanted to get the info out of him before he left. I was quite surprised to see Schiavone on there, and that 1998 Ted Turner interview was the most I had ever seen him talk about it. I always thought he was some billionaire who just gave Bischoff money to throw at talent. Now I can see why Vince went after him so hard as WCW enemy #1.



    I have more of a problem with people like The Miz, Cody Rhodes, and Kofi Kingston being interviewed as "fans" of the product at the time, gushing over big moments. "Wow! They have LUGER now?" I would rather just see people who were involved at the time (Vince, Bischoff, HHH, Foley, Austin, etc.) They do the same thing for "WrestleMania Rewind" and it feels like a WWE Universe-ification of everything.



    If it's going to be the suggested 20 something episode series, I'm excited to see where it goes. I felt it was more honest than the "Monday Night War" DVD from a decade ago (Prime Time with the studio audience DID suck), but I hope they put the episodes of Nitro up when they get to the August 1995 Raws.

  111. I can't imagine that anything at all that makes it to air on syndicated shows - even back then - wasn't planned. They could always clean up commentary in post-production and most likely did to tell a story. The WWF was much better at telling stories through the announce teams back then, because there was a level of competency that you don't see today.


    There's no way the Islanders thing was a random screw up, and there's no way VKM wasn't OK with "Hey! It's Tony Atlas" as a throw-away comment. The WWE may have their moments of ineptitude now, but things always seemed to make more sense 25-30 years ago.

  129. Can't disagree. Just laugh at the cringe in Vince's voice when Bruno asks him the question. "Mr. Race is scheduled later, and I believe . . . we will see Hercules and Race in a tag." But Bruno seems to give also a sarcastic -- oh okay then. Sometimes I'm amazed that Bruno stayed with the company as long as he did. I think it might be based on a settled lawsuit or something, but seriously -- Bruno as the third wheel on superstars never really worked.

    I wonder if they just stumbled upon the face/heel dynamic of McMahon/Ventura and Monsoon/Heenan or if it was a planned thing. Because once they got into the groove, things just seemed to click.

    Not nearly that much money. Bradley 4/32 and green has an option for 2015-2016 , that he will likely decline. Assessments on the players I agree with

  139. Has anyone checked out the outrage on the WWE free preview site in the comments section? I have a feeling that 90% "satisfaction" rating is going to go down the toilet (but I bet that's doctored like those "Did You Know" segments).

    One of my favorite responses:

    "i have a account and i cant see the war vers wwe and cant see what i wanted to see they say free and sounds good and all i know they want to make money cool with that but i want to see it on my tv but i not going to go out buy some thing to see it it cost money i not rich and cant aford it if they love there fans as the wwe saids they do make it so it is easey to get on tv and all it not i watch raw and smackdown i was watching the divas all the time now i cant why you make it so hard to do what we want to do kerryhoffmann@yahoo.com"



    Besides the inability of this man to have proper grammar or spelling, it seems like he's really outraged over not being able to watch his divas!

  140. Probably this. I bet Sting gets turned on a lot in Universe Mode. Just having Sting in the game isn't enough for me to buy, though, as people made some pretty awesome CAWs.

  141. Well TNA is taped through July so it probably isn't that. So either a WWE debut, a trading card convention appearance, or perhaps the announcement of when his DVD will be released?

  144. They should have just made a WWE version of Final Fight and you could select a superstar and go through it. They could use a few other superstars as the final bosses or something. People would eat that stuff up.

  145. Funny tweets from the Canadian Bulldog (don't act like you don't know who he is!):

    Is sent to NXT for evaluation; forced to change his name to Peter Stingovitch. #BadStingBooking

    Debuts on Raw, shouts "It's Showtime!", which is just him announcing the 400th return of Big Show. #BadStingBooking

  148. Id actually love for the shield to reunite every year for one night only at wrestlemania. The are undefeated there as a unit, and could just come together once a year, putting aside whatever issues they have to defend their legacy, squash some lower card act or NxT threat, and then wrestle separate singles matches on the show. Even if it ends up with Ambrose and Rollins teaming only to fight later in the night, I think we could get some cool stories out of it.

    Do it for a few years and then put over your next big group at some point. Would be something different at least.

  149. I'm mad too now that I know the WWE is withholding a WAR vs. WWE supercard from us. I bet Genichiro Tenryu vs. "The Game" HHH is all kinds of awesome.

  156. Anyone else think it is kind of disturbing that ESPN puts pictures of 90% naked athletes on their front page all day today? What if someone underage is visiting the website? I swear some people have no brains at all.

  160. But they had The Rock.

    ReplyDelete
  161. Neither of those were creative's decisions. Rocky was a contract and Shawn and Taker do their own thing outside of those wastes.


    You know how this works, they'll decide a week before the reunion to drop a hint then pretend like it had been obvious in the storylines for months.

  163. Cena/Undertaker/Rey in Cody/Haggar/Guy roles would've been perfectly blatant. I would've played it.

  164. Its 2 years down the road dude. You really think this awesome Rollins/Ambrose fued will last that long. They have a better chance at being a tag team a year from now then fueding at Survivor Series

  169. My friend and I both watched Bunkhouse Stampede 88 last night. That was a show we read about in the Apter mags after it happened, but he never saw it till last night (I saw a home video version awhile back). What a poorly-booked, boring show. I loathe the "Because WCW" meme around here, but it's apt here. Or maybe it should be "Because Dusty," since he was booking and put himself over hotter, younger talent in the ME. I don't get why two titles were challenged for by tag wrestlers (Hawk, Bobby Eaton), or why the Western States Heritage title was defended in New York state. Meh.

    This reinforces a theory I had that Vince McMahon won't die. They will put his head in a jar and attach it to a robot body like Futurama.
    That's not even a cartoon. That's schematics for the suit.
