Plans for Finn Balor & Hideo Itami?
There has been talk that the team of Balor & Itami will have a run in NXT as the Tag Team Champions before splitting off into singles runs. There is still no word on when these two will get called up to the main roster.

Reason For Survivor Series Post-Game Show Not Airing
The PPV Post-Game show did not air on the network last night as the show ran long and they wanted to make sure that the replay of the actual show aired at 11:00pm EST.

Sting vs. Taker: The BATTLE of the BALD SPOTS!
ReplyDeleteRogaine on a Pole Match?
ReplyDeleteI hope Sting shakes Taker's hand the right way, or this match could be a BURIED ALIVE match.
ReplyDeleteBURIED ALIVE....
shut up.
Raw Preview: Watch Steph and HHH whine about losing for 30 minutes. Eventually we'll do something else.
ReplyDeleteTwo football games could impact the rating.
ReplyDeleteThe show being usually shitty probably has something to do with the ratings I would think. Just a guess.
ReplyDeleteThat would've been such a hot match in the early 00's.
ReplyDeleteThe way they ended the show last night seemed designed to get a big RAW rating for tonight. Still haven't seen the show though. Hope to catch it this week at some point.
ReplyDeleteOr in the 90's.
ReplyDelete... rough loss last night. But I'm pretty sure I'll be a good bounce back opponent this week.
ReplyDeleteJust watch the last 15 minutes. You aren't missing anything before that.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they should just stop plugging this post-game show thing.
ReplyDeleteOr plan their shows better.
ReplyDeleteI know slow-mo videos are in at the moment, but do we really need to see a full match of one at Wrestlemania?
ReplyDeleteRaw should be fun tonight. Not sure what's actually going to happen which is a nice change of pace from knowing everything that will happen.
ReplyDeleteI'd be down for watching Sting-Taker for the spectacle value, but man alive Taker doesn't need to be wrestling anymore and I got what I wanted out of Sting last night.
ReplyDeleteThey should give them something like 8-10 minutes, do the signature spots, and get the fudge outta there.
ReplyDeleteThe last thing we need to see is Sting and Taker gassed like they're about to keel over and die for 30 minutes.
LOL @ Sting/Taker
ReplyDeleteWrestleMania 31: We'll sell you the whole seat but you'll only need a bed!
I can't shake the feeling that Sting/Taker is going to be like Bret/Vince, Part 2. Something that once could have been incredible but when it happens is just painful to watch and terribly sad.
ReplyDelete......................................so..............................so Sting..a guy who never had anything to do with WWE......felt it necessary to get involved with the WWE power struggle for authority and beat up HHH..which...which is going to lead to him fighting a guy who has no love for "The authority" and has not been seen since Mania. My brain is starting to ooze out my ear trying to make sense of this.
ReplyDeleteCalling it now: Ziggler is my dark horse candidate to win the Rumble.
ReplyDeletewhat you mean don't have 20 min. opening promos on PPV with a 4 hour women elimination match?
ReplyDeleteGood thing Wresltmania isn't tomorrow then.
ReplyDeleteSting dropping HHH makes sense (HHH talking ish about WCW, here comes WCW's champion to get revenge).
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they'll play up Sting as saying "While I'm here, I've got one match left in me, and I want it to be against the Phenom".
Bah. I would rather have Sting/Hunter than Sting/Taker.
ReplyDeletethats fine but..a Sting HHH match would make more sense..based on last night AND because HHH can you know.. work..
ReplyDeleteYea HHH would carry him to a watchable match. Sting/Taker is going to be an addition to the epically bad Mania matches they will be 50 and 55 respectively by the time of Mania!
ReplyDeleteI think Sting/Undertaker is Plan A.
ReplyDeleteSting/Triple H is Plan B.
Sting and RoboCop vs. Triple H and Undertaker is Plan C.
If they're seriously going to do Sting v. Undertaker at WM, they at least need to do Sting v. HHH at RR.
ReplyDeleteThat is an extremely dark horse you have there.
ReplyDeleteThe horse is black beauty.
Marked the fuck out for the Sting debut last night, hadn't read anything all weekend so it was a total shock. I thought for sure Orton was going to be making the save.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a classically terrible match, I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteSting has only has one match until everyone realizes he sucks though.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that wear the Sting allure off prior to WM?
ReplyDeleteThe guy is 55. He's cool walking to the ring, doing is 3 signature moves, done. HHH could probably carry him to a decent enough match, but the cool factor would be gone before WM even got here.
Yep. Anything else ruins the mystique, and was one huge reason why the Hogan Starrcade match wasn't as good as it should have been. Once he started wrestling, it was like "Oh, there's Sting".
ReplyDeleteMaking sense?!?! That's only for slack-jawed faggots!
ReplyDeleteHe never gets enough hate for getting an entire year off and coming back wooing and corner splashing and being exactly the same guy.
ReplyDeleteI never saw his TNA stuff but I'd guess it was all the same in different makeup, that's about the extent of his character evolution over three decades, different face paint.
Yes except now the Stinger Splash has more to do with his lack of bowel control.
ReplyDeleteJoker Sting was interesting, and I actually liked his persona in the Main Event Mafia before he and Angle went at it. Other than that, bleh.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Deathdrop. He added one move.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the one move he added.
If Taker wants another Mania match and build-up, why did they end the streak?
ReplyDeleteTaker may not want it. He may have just been talked into it.
ReplyDelete..........I hope he can do it.
ReplyDeleteOn the bright side, at least it's not Flair.
Oh boy, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to help Sting after the Wrestlemania match. He probably hasn't earned me yet.
ReplyDeleteI hope so. He deserves it.
ReplyDeleteThe rest of season 7 is shit, but the last episode with the Gilligan's Island cast playing the cast of Roseanne is still pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteGilligan as Jackie is money.
You can't do Sting/HHH at Mania. That's four months away! Can you imagine how many boring promos we'd have to sit through? I wouldn't be surprised if we don't actually see Sting again until the Rumble though.
ReplyDeleteIf he wants to win the Rumble, his best bet is to fake an injury and stay off the road for the next 60 days so he doesn't get backstage heat on himself again by wearing the wrong color on a Thursday.
ReplyDeleteis that the one where they're all characters, but David is just David? That was pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteYou're not alone. I don't want to see Taker wrestle anyone at this point. His body looked done in that match with Lesnar. Having him face a guy 6 years older than him is not going to be any better (although at least he won't get a concussion against him).
ReplyDeleteI think Sting/HHH could actually be a decent match, though.
Yeah, he walks around confused in both scenes it's pretty great.
ReplyDeleteSeason 8 Episode 1 is one of my favorites at least, Lacy Gorenson returns and every character acts shocked and asks where the hell she's been. I loved that bit.
I'm concerned the Austin/McMahon podcast won't be as candid as we'd like since it'll be on the Network. Because I honestly think this is the closest we'll ever come to a McMahon tell-all interview.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised if there's no Sting on Raw, and it probably wouldn't hurt to push his next appearance and explanation out to the TLC show.
ReplyDeleteDon't doubt Austin. Speaking of, I've been saying they should his podcast on the network for months now.
ReplyDeleteSame here, makes so much sense.
ReplyDeleteBefore mania it seemed like Sting and Cena were likely future challengers to the streak. They ended the streak for Lesnar whose shown up three times to fight Cena since. The sting match and potentially the Cena match might still happen anyway without the streak involved now
ReplyDeleteSo here's my Wrestlemania Card:
ReplyDeleteWWE Title: The Viking Space Lord vs. Swat Team Joe
Uncle Maury in face paint vs. Literal Death
Blandy Boreton & Ooze Ambrose vs. COOO & SLACKSKANE
A tag team match featuring all the tag teams because tag teams are teh gays.
Girl Title: Booby Bella vs. Screaming British Ghost
I-C Title: Whoever won it on Main Event the week before vs. A Hillbilly
U-S Title: Russian Hairball vs. The Ice Pack Police
Battle Royal with 20 guys who you may forget are employed next month.
Done and done! :)
Maybe they'll just pretend that didn't happen. You know what they're like.
ReplyDeleteIn a perfect world, Dolph Ziggler interrupts John Cena's gloat fest tonight, rightly pointing out that he did jack all last night, and challenge him for the number one contendership at TLC. You just got into bed with Dolph creatively by making him look like a world-beater. Pull the trigger now and they have a new main event superstar.
ReplyDeleteOkay, the Girl Title made me laugh out loud at work. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteDitto. They could throw a bone out to a few people with podcasts, it's such an easy way to provide content worth watching on the Network.
ReplyDeleteIt was more like "Oh, there's Hogan".
ReplyDeleteThat one did suck, but Sting could still wrestle a 4-star match in 98/99. And a few of his matches in late 2000's TNA were 3-3.5.
I didn't see the show but by reading Scott's review and the thoughts of others, the continuity of the storylines are pathetically bad right now. I don't get why its such an issue. I mean how can you get invested into storylines when this is such a problem?
ReplyDeleteUgh, Sting vs. Taker. It would be better for the two to team up against a younger team that can carry them to a good match.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone ever compiled a list of all of Big Show's heel/face turns?
ReplyDeleteA few have tried but now they're housed at Arkham Asylum.
ReplyDeleteI don't have the time, personally.
ReplyDeleteOr you can have Cena vs. Big Show, Part 27 instead. Because FUCK YOU.
ReplyDeleteOy,that would be rough, I think I could do it though 04-06 would get really hard.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great.
ReplyDeleteIt will never happen.
They can't book storylines when actions are forgotten about, or even retconned one week later. I don't get why they can't say we have so and so pay per view at the end of the month, these are the matches and here's how we're getting to them. So easy.
ReplyDeleteThis week...on a very special RAW...the Big Show reveals he has bi-polar disorder.
ReplyDeletePaging PTB...
ReplyDeleteGod, I hope we make it to Plan C.
ReplyDeleteIt will be more shocking the day Show doesn't turn.
ReplyDelete'Big Show in stands by partner shocker'
Good idea, I am hitting up the staff now...
ReplyDeleteThat would actually be a satisfying explanation.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Show could turn back on Raw. He could say he did it FOR Cena, so that Cena would realise that he can trust Ziggler and the next generation to take care of business, and that he doesn't have to shoulder everything himself anymore.
ReplyDeleteAnd why waste all this time on Ryback when he was the first one eliminated in the match? And how is Swagger too hurt to be on Team Cena yet he wrestled and won on the pre-show match? And what sense does the Rose/Bunny feud make?
ReplyDeleteOR he could just say that the fans don't deserve an explanation.
ReplyDeleteKnowing the WWE, I know which way they'll choose...
No, this wasn't an indictment of Sting stinking. Moreso that his moveset hadn't changed.
ReplyDeleteOK, it is in the works!
ReplyDeleteHe didn't spend the year off at the power plant! He was in the rafters being sad and angry.
ReplyDeleteThey should've added Cesaro and Swagger - not as if they haven't done 7-on-7 matches before (yes, this would be 6-on-6....I can count).
ReplyDeleteIt's all thrown together at the last minute and it really hurts the product. The problem is they think all the fans care about is Cena so no-one is paying attention to the mid card and they can just fuck them around.
ReplyDeleteBut that's the reason no-one in the midcard is getting over. Why should fans get behind them when the company clearly doesn't give a shit?
The Ryback thing annoyed me, because it was clearly booked on the fly and they made it up as they went along. Why? If they want Ryback in there why mess around with Swagger? Stick him in the match and let him run through people in the build up to it. They need to just keep it simple instead of trying to be cute and clever.
If Tony Skee-a-vone would've come out after Fall Brawl and said "Sting doesn't want to wrestle for WCW because he is sad", it would've been The Greatest Moment In The History Of Our Sport(tm).
ReplyDeleteHow Erick Rowan got in the match before Cesaro I'll never know.
ReplyDeleteWell of course we all do know, but it's quite depressing to say it out loud.
The top face was booked like an unlikable asshole leading up to this show. Its amazing.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the reason Ryback jobbed so early is that someone found an ice pack in his lunch cooler.
ReplyDeleteWe NEVER deserve an explanation!
ReplyDeleteWill we be able to order the 3-volume box set online?
ReplyDeleteThanks man! Can't wait to see the list. I'm guessing it's been about 15 turns in his WWE career alone.
ReplyDeleteHe is going to include WCW too so should be fun.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to count situations where he was a face on Raw and a heel on Smackdown? If so, this would probably get into the 30s.
ReplyDeleteSomething, something, something ironclad contract, something something.
ReplyDeleteWere you not happy with Seth Rollins explanation of “I was
ReplyDeletethe Shield, and I bought in because it was time to do so?”
That might be longer than a list of mysteries on LOST.
ReplyDeleteBut the new storyline is that Big Show is purposely gaining a ton of weight, so this time Cena definitely can't get him up for the AA.
ReplyDeleteIf that's the case, he really should have been KO'ed like Mark Henry. It's the worst kind of sin.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they expect people to forget about the storylines. I mean, Swagger had been booked as a jobber up until the last 2 months.
ReplyDeleteI mentioned to him to keep an eye on it.
ReplyDeleteWe should be grateful we've gotten any explanations at all over the years!
ReplyDeleteYeah - Sting/Taker vs. DX!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Mark Henry was caught giving rookies ice packs in exchange for favours.
ReplyDeleteThat explains the constant crying.
ReplyDeleteMatch might suck but honestly even the thought of it is pretty enticing.
ReplyDeleteFinally! An explanation after all these years!
ReplyDeleteMasochist.
ReplyDeleteHa, well Jordan Duncan is. He will be doing it.
ReplyDeleteHE'S FAT!
ReplyDeleteSting - Booker T might be a fun mini-feud, what with Booker being an Authority suckup and whatnot.
ReplyDeleteYou know something? Erick Rowan looked pretty impressive in his (admittedly) limited exposure last night. I think Luke Harper has enough talent when they really turn him loose to make a Rowan/Harper match decent.
ReplyDeleteI felt like last night's Bray Wyatt v. Dean Ambrose match was underrated by Scott a bit; it was perfectly acceptable wrestling until the cheap finish, and it was certainly the good preliminary set-up for a much better match at TLC.
Dolph Ziggler just had a Hell of a deal last night, surviving Kane, Luke Harper, Seth Rollins, the New Stooges on the Block and Triple H to earn the victory. His segments with Seth were probably the the best in the main event, and the two now have casus belli to fuck with each other at TLC.
That's three relatively fresh matches that have some meaning behind them, and could be pretty entertaining. Assuming we get a mediocre tag team match and a Divas match to fill out time, TLC could be a sleeper for second best show of the year.
THAT'S the thing that made me shake my head last night - they spent all this time building up Ryback over the last few weeks, and he was the first one on Team Cena to go. What the hell was the buildup for then?
ReplyDeleteAnd my votes for today's PTBN 90's songs poll:
ReplyDeleteWonderwall
Hold My Hand
Hypnotize
Unbelievable
Quit Playing Games
If Big Show turns heel and nobody cares, does he really turn heel?
ReplyDeleteIs it better to have turned heel and nobody care, than never to have turned heel at all?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking they simply needed a replacement for Sheamus, and had no one else on the level capable of stepping in, since I'm assuming they'd rather not have Orton bow out for some reason there.
ReplyDeleteToday was really tough... very stacked pool.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy with the way Survivor Series turned out. It's about time we have a happy ending at a PPV for once. I don't think there's been this satisfaction for the faces since Mania XXX
ReplyDeleteThe best part about this thread is that people are actually arguing FOR Triple H having a main event match at WrestleMania. It's surreal. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThe Shield whooping that Evolution ass was pretty satisfying. Not WM XXX levels but hell, that's WrestleMania.
ReplyDeleteI'll give you that. HHH has been the most giving this year.
ReplyDeleteThat was really badass the close out Payback.
ReplyDeleteMm, the impression that I'm getting is that Triple H/Sting makes more sense (and would be a better match) than Sting/Undertaker, but only in the sense that cow shit tastes a little better with a scoop of ice cream on top. I don't think that either match would be especially great, which is kind of why a tag match or gimmick would go a long way to disguising their obvious shortcomings in the ring.
ReplyDeleteSame except I went with Peal Jam and not Unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteEvolution toying with Shield for like 10 minutes only for the Shield to bum rush them and get the clean sweep was awesome.
ReplyDeleteTriple H clinging to his sledgehammer as he gets ready to face the Hounds! Come on, that's fantastic.
Argh! And they broke them up so that Rollins could be a cowardly heel, Ambrose could be a goofy comedy character and Reigns could be exposed as not ready. Goddamnit. Fuck.
ReplyDeleteShort of the Shield and Daniel Bryan, it was slim-pickings this year. Part of me worries that Dolph's big moment will get overshadowed by Cena shenanigans, but damn did they do a great job with him last night. Good stuff all around.
ReplyDeleteThe top face IS an unlikable asshole.
ReplyDeleteAgree.
ReplyDeleteI left off Alive as there are a lot of 90's Pearl Jam songs I could find. And Life is a Highway was another popular song.
Most people were fine with Triple H vs. Bryan at Mania 30 because it was a fresh match and made sense.
ReplyDeleteI think a majority of people will be fine with Triple H vs. Sting at Mania 31 because it is a fresh match, it will be Sting's one and only WWE match, and if the storyline makes sense (and it should unless Creative REALLY fucks it up).
People were against Triple H vs. Lesnar at Mania 29 because it wasn't a fresh match and nobody really wanted to see Triple H beat Lesnar.
At least nobodies arguing for Cena.
ReplyDeleteI can't hear Alive without thinking of Kenny Powers crashing a funeral.
ReplyDeleteI don't give a fuck if HHH would give Sting a better match. Sting/Undertaker needs to happen. Whether they are in their 50s or even in the 80s. It's more of a dream match than his match with HHH will ever be.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone if gonna watch a Sting match for the purpose of Sting putting on a good match then they obviously should know better. It's all on you if you get bummed if the match is a DUD. Sting isn't about wrestling good matches in his mid 50's. His character is far more important than his workrate at this point. If Hogan and Sting had a passable match at BOUND FOR GLORY, you're gonna tell em that he can't have one with THE UNDERTAKER?
Does anyone else see money in a possible Wyatt/Ambrose tag team down the road? Have them beat the piss out of each other at TLC, then do the deal where they have the staredown with the dozens of referees and backstage officials coming out to block then. Then have them just go batshit insane on everyone in the ring and clear it. Have them slowly start converging in different ways; the dynamic could make for one Hell of a team I think, and really give Bray a chance to stretch his wings as a high-level face, since I think he's hit the ceiling for now as a heel.
ReplyDeleteAs a huge Hogan mark, I can tell you that the Hogan/Sting match at Bound For Glory was in no way, shape, or form a passable match.
ReplyDeleteLOL I remember this. People weren't fine with Bryan/HHH. I even remember a post of someone saying that there's no way HHH would let Bryan beat him based on the list of guys he wrestled at Mania rofl.
ReplyDeleteOnly because the title wasn't on the line right?
ReplyDeleteI'm not a Hogan mark at all and I actually thought the match was a lot of fun. It was far better than anyone expected it to be, brother.
ReplyDeleteDepends on your definition of "passable".
ReplyDeletePeople were far from fine with Bryan being against Hunter. Of course I don't want to generalize, but there was a healthy contingent of people against the idea.
ReplyDeleteComment of the Day
ReplyDelete2011 was far too early for Hogan to make a comback. He needed another four years to get into match shape.
ReplyDeleteWhich means this match is going to need weapons.
ReplyDeleteHealthy isn't the right word for it. lol
ReplyDeleteI was totally with the idea. I thought Triple H should have somehow gotten the belt so him vs. Bryan could have closed the show. In hindsight, I'm fine with the route they went with.
ReplyDeleteOr MAGIC.
ReplyDeleteI would love for that to happen, would make up for so much continuity problems they had.
ReplyDeleteI'm still disappointed as anyone that the Shield broke up. But Rollins seems like he's been fine. Jury is still out on Reigns. We'll see how his return is handled.
ReplyDeleteAmbrose could be in trouble.
Daniel Bryan was a goofy comedy midcard tag team guy for awhile. Ambrose's character is quirky. It's part of what gets him over.
ReplyDeleteBalle that!
ReplyDeleteThat was when Hogan basically said he wouldn't be taking any bumps.
ReplyDeleteHuh? Was there something in the post-show to suggest that?
ReplyDeleteWell, I think people were fine with Bryan vs. Hunter as long as Bryan was going to win. The real concern was that Bryan wasn't going to win.
ReplyDeletePeople were afraid of what a Triple H/Orton/Batista WrestleMania main event would render.
Right he was just coming off major surgery. He's apparently in much better shape now.
ReplyDeleteI'd figure you'd have to be a complete moron to not see that Bryan was leaving Mania as the champ a few weeks before the show.
ReplyDeleteI can't honestly believe people thought HHH/Orton/Batista was a possibility. I refuse to acknowledge that ANYONE thought that was going to happen.
ReplyDeleteIf it were just Triple H/Bryan with no "Winner Moves On" stip then I could see some worry that Hunter wins. But once they announced the win and you're in stip it sealed Bryan's win.
Screaming British Ghost!
ReplyDeleteNo, that was me spitballing.
ReplyDeleteWell, as someone above said people were using Triple H's previous Mania wins that sucked (Booker T, Jericho, Lesnar) and the ridiculous win over Punk as evidence that he wasn't going to do the job.
ReplyDeleteI'm all in favour of psychopath cooperation. Just please don't call them WyBrose or something daft.
ReplyDeleteI know a lot of people are down on Bray vs. Dean (mostly in regards to how it came about) but I like it. It's an upper mid-card feud and WWE needs more programs away from the main event angle. Dean supporters are upset that he should be pushed harder and not as a slapsticky goofball, and I agree, but giving him more angles to sink his teeth into to improve and build a following will only help him in the future.
ReplyDeleteSting vs Taker still a possibility? The booking makes it seem pretty obvious that it's HHH/Sting, unless last night was the blow-off of that which would totally be the way to go. There's zero need for HHH/Sting, really don't see any appeal there at all. Taker/Sting will be garbage in the ring just as much as Sting/HHH would be, but at least it'd have an epic feel and it's something fans have been thinking about for years.
ReplyDeleteAgain, who has ever clamored for HHH/Sting?
Tonight: Ziggler comes out to be congratulated by his team. Suddenly...
ReplyDelete"I hear voices in my head...."
Orton beats Ziggler in a 30 second match.
The end.
"You're welcome" - signed WWE.
Poll time:
100% chance this will happen, or
101% chance this will happen? Choose.
Michael Cole is already licking his lips at WyBrose.
ReplyDeleteAnd man, I consider that to be the worst match I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteI think anything different to shake these two up is the way to go.
ReplyDeleteHHH.
ReplyDeleteIt's true. After all, Hogan ages in reverse so he's in the best shape ever!
ReplyDeleteIt happened to Christian!
ReplyDeleteGuess that means Orton is putting his name in the hat then.
ReplyDeleteI think once the Mania 30 matches were actually set up on that Raw (Bryan/HHH winner gets title match etc), fans and this board seemed to be on board with it. At that point the Bryan win seemed like a sure thing.
ReplyDeleteI'd say it was in the months before when it was obvious Bryan was getting nowhere near a HHH and/or title match that people here were ripping the booking. Or even those few weeks when it looked like Bryan/HHH as a singles match with Orton/Batista as the title match, that was none too popular.
God I hope Sting shows up tonight. I don't care if he is paired against the bunny. I am going to MARK THE FUCK OUT!!! I can't be alone in this
ReplyDeleteGot to keep Orton strong... right?
ReplyDeleteYeah, Triple H/Sting seems random but makes sense considering what happened last night. Unless Triple H/Sting closes the Rumble and Taker's gong goes off while Sting is in the ring? I doubt last night's interaction happens without there being some sort of Triple H/Sting match at some point.
ReplyDeleteEpic? I just don't see it.
ReplyDeleteEveryone talks about Sting's "character" but really he's just a guy in makeup who wields a bat. That's it. I don't know where people got this idea that he was some dark, complex persona with tons of layers. Maybe there were hints of that in 1998, but then he got back in the ring and was just the same old Sting. He's no Undertaker, that's for sure.
So HHH is good enough for government work. And he has the advantage of not being completely broken down.
Matt Striker will be marking out with you, bro.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, who honestly had Dolph pegged as putting in THE big main event performance before the PPV started last night?
ReplyDelete"Ladies and gentleman, coming to the ring, FINN BALOR and HIDEO ITAMI.....and they are: THOSE GUYS!!"
ReplyDeleteWyBrose.........sounds like a disease...
ReplyDeleteYou know it.
ReplyDeleteI hope Orton pins him and sends him back to OVW in a crate
ReplyDeleteThe optimist in me is excited to see where WWE goes without the tired ass "heel authority figure" bullshit. It's a chance to do something fresh and different.
ReplyDeleteThe realist is waiting to see what kind of stupid angle they'll run that will cause John Cena to be a complete moron and reinstate HHH and Stephanie.
I'll go: Ryback squash Ziggler, Big Show squash Ryback, Orton over Big Show, Cena over Orton as our chain of destruction squandering everyone.
ReplyDeleteHaha true. And hey, I get some thought behind it, in that you want Sting in there with a veteran who can guide him through the match, and a star with name appeal since the Sting match might actually be counted as the main draw of Wrestlemania. (Since Brock's gonna be stuck in a match with Roman that won't be a big mainstream draw.)
ReplyDeleteBut to me HHH is just a completely underwhelming one time Sting match, and I don't see what the appeal is at all. What happened last night feels like all the HHH/Sting that we'll ever need.
Aren't you the guy who wants Hogan to win the title at Wrestlemania? I'd mark out for that too. :)
ReplyDelete"They lost due to outside interference and that was wrong. It may not be the popular decision, but Triple H and Stephanie were unfairly cost the match so I reinstate them. (Put inspirational quote here) Jack."
ReplyDeleteI like the Cena/Dolph idea that was mentioned below... or how about Dolph/Rollins at TLC for the briefcase?
ReplyDeleteThey Might Be Giants! Win!
ReplyDeleteMaybe with the Authority gone, they can finally address why the champion hasn't appeared on TV in over two months or has barely even been mentioned.
ReplyDeleteSomeone emailed Scott last week proposing this didn't they? Or maybe in that case he jobbed at the very end.
ReplyDeleteCena has to do the right thing, be a star, which means he will reinstate HHH and Steph so that they won't live in the street.
ReplyDeleteOr, you know, whatever stupid storyline reason they come up with.
Oh, you guys haven't met before? I thought you would be rammin' each other's buttholes by now.
ReplyDeleteThat's inappropriate.
ReplyDelete... DAMN!
ReplyDeleteThe authority isn't gone. This whole "authority is gone" stuff seems a bit premature.
ReplyDeleteHey I thought were were tight? We liked each other comments a few days ago.
