WWE Thread II

I guess I'm not a big fan of Cena's character. How much of that is him and how much of that is creative I don't know.

The next NXT Takeover event will be on February 11th and the main event will be Sami Zayne vs Kevin Owens for the NXT title. Can't Wait.

Hell yes

I loved Benoit and Malenko and Jericho, they were all better than Bryan.

Malenko was always one of the best technical wrestlers.

I wasn't just talking about faces. I forgot to name Rollins too, even though i hate the curbstomp.

Both Rollins and Bryan are in unique situations where they have a great storyline to push them. But neither of those stories can continue much longer. Bryan's injury was actually a blessing in disguise for creative because it extended his existing storyline. Will be interesting to see how the characters can go from here. But inside the ring they are equal at best and Bryan has the edge imo. He just has too many moves. I like the curbstomp, but they were starting to seriously overuse it. I'm sure that hasn't stopped in my two week sabbatical.

I didn't watch Monday but they showed highlights of him curbstomping Cena and Lesnar during their match contract signing.

Tough Enough is coming back.

One thing I like about the curb stomp is that it always had bad connotations to it before Rollins started using it. Curb stomps were something bad people ganged up on others and did. In that light, it really is the perfect bad guy move.

if you've been wondering where Cody Rhodes has been, he is currently portraying the character Stardust right now.

This won't come as a big shocker to anyone except for Volfanbill, but Daniel Bryan of course was not supposed to be in to the main event a WM30. It wasn't the plan all along:

Daniel Bryan, WWE Superstar, thought neck injury might end his career - Newsday

I thought that was well known. Even before CM Punk talked about it on Cabana's podcast.

 

[Pulscifer]

Anyone going to Fast Lane next month?

It's almost like they don't push storylines all over the place. He headlined every show from SummerSlam on. But, yeah, he was being pushed to the rear. Geesh.

Lmao @ the JR one

 

[volfanbill]

Looks like I'm going to have to watch Monday just for the reunion. I'm a sucker for bringing in the old guys back.

Also, didn't realize Batista was 46 years old. Wow.

Seems like lately they only bring back legends to garner heat for a bad guy...so who is it gonna be this time? They still need to force more heat for Barrett, so I'm going with Barrett.

I guess no one is going to Fast Lane?

I was considering it but gotta be at work at 6 the next day and find a babysitter so not looking likely.

If the main event is what's being advertised here on commercials (Reigns/Cena vs Rollins/Big Show) then I'll be pissed I bought tickets. But I've never been to a PPV so I figured I'd go while it's here. Pretty crazy that WWE has been here 4 times in 16 months.

 

[ATC_VOL]

Yeah it's pretty sweet. I'll definately be taking my boy when he gets older. I haven't attended an event since 2008.

And that would be a horrible main event.

I doubt that ends up being the main event. They wouldn't tell a venue the main event of a ppv that far a head of time. The Rumble hasn't happen yet and they won't build up an angle for Fast Lane until after the Rumble.

Does anyone else miss the days of using the Intercontinental Championship to elevate a mid carder to a main eventer.

no, as mentioned ad nauseam in this thread, we miss the days when the IC Belt stood strong enough to be the main event. HBK, Warrior, Honky Tonk Man, etc.
