The Divas are gonna force the King into early retirement. His bum ticker can't keep up like it used to.

Apparently Barrett separated his shoulder during Smackdown taping.

Also that gif of Lawler is hilarious.

Am I the only one who believes Sheamus and Barrett should not be involved in either of the ladder matches? Each should have title defenses IMO. WWE completely ruined the value of both the IC and US belts by sticking them on guys for long periods of time rather than having them engage in title feuds. It's no wonder today's crowds see them as throw-away championships. If they're not going to show them respect, having them is pointless. If they plan on keeping the WC unified, they need to build back up the prestige of these other titles, and throwing their holders into matches you know they aren't going to win does nothing to accomplish that. Wasted opportunities IMO.

The original wrestling thread brought this topic up ever third page or so. It would be incredibly to make the other titles relevant again, but every time they start to, they drop the idea and do something like putting them in World Heavyweight matches. It would be too simple to have your top card wrestlers (Cena, Orton, Wyatt, Bryan, Reigns, Lesnar, etc) fight for a truly unified World Heavyweight Title, have Ambrose, Rollins, Ziggler, Miz, BNB, ADR, Ambrose, Cesaro (i'm not as sold on Cesaro as most here), etc fight for the IC Belt and have Bo, Adam Rose, Big E, Sandow, Fandango, etc go for the US Title.

As for Sheamus, he's a big enough international draw to vie for the IC Title. I think it further hurts the difference between the US and IC titles to have someone that has gotten over as much as Sheamus to hold the US belt. The biggest IC belt holders were always huge personalities- Honky Tonk Man, Warrior, Hennig, Jericho. I think my list of IC names fit those molds.

(Notice I intentionally left off Swagger. He's a great amateur wrestler, but he just doesn't have it for professional wrestling. Especially if he mishandled BNB causing this separated shoulder as some rumors indicate. I would cut him personally).

Sigh... Cena wins MITB?

I had no idea...

Supposedly the current plan is to have John Cena win the title at MITB so he can then push Lesnar over at SummerSlam. As of right now, Bryan isn't being written into the SS scripts.

but really, what else can they do? Lesnar has been headlined to get the main event tilt since WM. Not sure that Cesaro can really headline one of the Big Four yet. Reigns-Trips has to be a SS event I'd think and there's no way Sheamus wins the belt. A Wyatt-Lesnar feud just doesn't make sense. Neither does an Orton-Lesnar or ADR-Lesnar feud. Having someone win the belt now just to lose it at Battleground would be a waste of time. It's crazy how much turmoil Bryan going down creates.

I read somewhere that this sets up Cena to win it back at WM XXX1 and surpass the Nature Boy as most title reigns. To that, I guess it all depends on which titles you count for Flair, so I don't really know how it would work, or if it would.

That's just it. They could set this up as the ultimate show of power for The Authority. Both could easily win. Doesn't mean Rollins cashed in on Orton. It would set up a way to divide The Authority. As mentioned though, the title match is just setting up a jobber for Lesnar.

According to the rumors. Lesnar will then lose it to either Bryan or potentially Reigns if Bryan still isn't healthy enough.

Just came to share the poster. I never questioned anything you said about Cena...

I know, I was just messing because of how you phrased it as a question. Sorry if it came off as anything other than sarcastic humor.

So, if Cena is going to feud with Lesnar soon AND if Wyatt doesn't get the belt, who does he feud with? I don't feel like anyone left that's available is big enough for him, honestly.

I'm afraid Bray will get buried into mid-card oblivion. I can't really picture him feuding with anyone right now.

Wouldn't mind seeing Bray turn face and feud with Rusev or Cesaro. Neither would make sense but i wouldn't mind seeing a series of those matches.

I'm just curious how they would do it. Again the reports are just rumors, but they are usually good with them. If there is some sort of split with Harper and Rowan turning against Wyatt it could be a good angle. Maybe, as has been dreamed about on here, have an actual Sister Abigail come in to shake things up.

I think if they really want to pull Bray over as a face, the best way would be to have him and Daniel Bryan form somewhat of a partnership against HHH. The Anti-Authority vs The Authority. That way you can have Bryan and HHH feud and Bray and Orton or even HHH and Bray and Orton and Bryan. Then you have Cena and Lesnar and when that wraps up Reigns and Cena hit around WM time. JMO

So anyone watching TNA Impact?

I actually watched a little last night. I liked the way the vignettes and promos were shot. Reminded me of ECW. You can tell that they're going for a more PG-13 style.

The details are horrible though. They've got some guys that can go, but the acting is horrible. Guys talking with their back to the camera. Hokey looking sells on bad spots.
A lot of it looked like something out of a high school gym.
