Wrestling Thread 6: It's Poppy • Page 685

But realistically it’s probably Mauro Ranallo

 

I have absolutely zero interest in a new 4 horsemen, especially one that includes Shawn Spears

 

Seeing people legitimately speculating Cena to AEW haha

“It would be like Hogan to WCW though!!!”

 

Boo, they changed Roddys theme

 

I'll start out by saying there is a 0.0001% chance its Cena, but, he really is at the point where he could never work a WWE event again and be set. He has his own scripted HBO show that is built off a major summer blockbuster AND he has a TBS show debuting at the start of April. The Khans have money, and if anything, having ties to Vince McMahon is a negative over the next 4 years. It'd be the most seismic move in the business since Vince bought WCW, basically.

But its gonna be like, RVD.

 

Foley is a decent guess too - especially with the barb wire match

 

JR constantly talking about “the winner earns more money” on Dynamite commentary kills me every week.

Man, Shaq was way better than I expected.

 

Shaq was so much better than I thought and I didn’t expect to see him go through a table. I don’t hate spears like most people but even I kinda went “oh... ehhhhh” when he unmasked. I thought that was a great episode of dynamite

 

That episode was great. I particularly loved Shawn Spears look of confusion when he revealed himself. A true self insert.

also the younger Gunn deciding this was the perfect time to break out a steel chair.

 

My completely not-at-all-based-in-reality AEW guess is...

Brock Lesnar, signed to a combination AEW/ONE FC deal.

 

any chance they'll at least call him "Paul Wight The Height"?

 

I will lose my absolute shit.

 

I really hope this surprise talent is someone worth it, I really don't want to see another WWE guy sign with AEW right now.

 

NJPW's doing a stadium show and a Tokyo Dome show in May.

Go off, kings.

 

I hope the announcement from Big Show is just a heel turn.

 

They're overselling it waaaaaaay too hard. I truly can't see the person being up to that level.

 

I don’t think it’s anyone that’s that big of a deal, they just want to get people to tune in. Would laugh if it was scott steiner or bully ray

 

I still love the fact that we're getting a mult-person ladder match, an all joshi championship match, and a fucking deathmatch all on one show. Just add a lucha match to that and it's basically a perfect show to me.

 

Its gotta be Gillberg

 

Feel like the 'hall of fame worthy' thing would be an obvious Christian reference, it's kinda been his thing. Don't know why you'd describe someone that way if they were already a recognized hall of famer like some others who've been speculated. Also some thought that this person might be the sixth entrant in the ladder match? I guess that would fit more with an RVD.

 

Gonna throw a big wild card out there, but Paige has been saying she would like to return if she was cleared and has been fairly vocal about WWE’s new streaming policies.

Not likely but it’s an idea

 

Pretty cool to see Cody name dropping Matt Tremont on an AEW media call.

 

On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer hints that the Big Show Paul Wight announcement and the 6th man in the ladder match are not the same.

 

Think the 6th man in the ladder match will be an Impact guy
