You have to believe that Rollins vs HHH is going to happen at Mania, which makes Rollins in the title hunt all the more irrelevant.

 

There has scarcely been a larger example of how instrumental good writing is to a wrestling product than the internet being exponentially more invested in a Ziggler/Miz feud than they are in a main event program between two guys like Owens and Rollins.

 

I don't think there is much interest in any of the feuds going on aside from that one. The writing has been as bad as it's ever been since the brand split and it needed to be great.

 

So Turner Broadcasting has syndication rights to Lucha Underground abroad. ITS HAPPENING AGAIN.

 

Is anyone else shocked they didn't have Braun go through someone like mark Henry first....that's usually the thing they do with new hosses.

And then they put in the scrappy small guy that sneaks an upset...and so on

I'm shocked they're gonna have zayn be fed to Braun

 

Braun beating Sami both legitimizes Braun as an actual powerhouse while keeping Sami as the scrappy underdog whose wins mean something. Braun beating Sami and then Sami getting sent to smackdown would be best for both of them

 

They should start using "It's feeding time" for Braun. They don't even need to redesign the merch.

 

So whats this mean

 

I actually like this idea. Because I cant see him beating Braun, even by roll-up. But its so much better than Mark Henry or Big Show, who we know Braun is gonna crush. Sami showed he can get in offense.

 

I wouldnt be surprised if that match happens at the Royal Rumble. They've gotta fill 60k seats...Seth v HHH would help do that. Especially with a special guest ref.

But if HIAC doesnt end with either Jericho or HHH interfering, then I truly have no idea what they are doing with the Universal title picture. Owens beating Seth clean is just an odd waste of time.

 

exactly. Give them a long match, have Sami get plenty of offense in, but in the end Braun is just too big for Sami to take down. I don't think Sami comes out of that situation looking bad -- Braun will just actually feel like a beast.

Of course, knowing WWE Sami will win, Braun's momentum will get crushed, and Sami will stay twiddling this thumbs in the mid-card of Raw waiting for an actual push that never comes.

 

nothing really. lol. Turner bought WCW because he loved wrestling and was willing to give it a big push. People like to speculate about nothing, and this is mostly that.

 

This is what they should do with Rollins and HHH

have the rumble be a "winner keeps pedigree" stip and have HHH win dirty via sledgehammer thus keeping the pedigree as his - also have Seth execute a pedigree on HHH but it doesn't get him the win because HHH is immune to it or some bullshit but that helps Seth realize that finisher also isn't for him

Between that and WM they can announce a rematch and have Seth try out different finishers over the course of the next few months with varying success and have him debut a new finisher (Phoenix splash?) at mania that defeats HHH

or they could rename the curb stomp the black out and he could beat HHH with that at mania to the biggest pop ever

 

Did Drew, who hates 99% of WWE's choices, just suggest HHH go over Rollins while no-selling a Pedigree? Smh.

 

I read some interview recently where Rollins said that he keeps using the pedigree as a way to stick it to Triple H and that he won't stop using it until there's closure there. Wish I could remember where I saw it.

 

I like it... But I just want to see a Shield reunion. I know that it's not happening anytime soon, especially with Ambrose on SD... But can you imagine it happening at Mania during the HHH Rollins match as a part of some grand scheme with the Shield then being over? They could cause chaos being on both shows or something. It would be awesome.

WWE desperately needs something like this.

 

What if Ambrose had the WWE title, Rollins had the Universal and Reigns had the US and they just ran rampant over both shows. Would be crazy. Unrealistic sure... But something needs to happen to shake everything up cause I'm as bored as I've ever been with WWE on the whole. I don't even watch RAW anymore.

 

No fucking thank you.

 

The Shield guys have all been #1 and only one of them is actually interesting. If Dean and Roman took a few months off like Rollins had to, we'd all be better for it.

 

Wow, mick gets a new podcast, someone plagiarizes his work and now he's out exposing wrestling secrets like a true #heel.

 

Dean is great as a heel. I think that things need to be shuffled up no matter what. Too many superstars across the board have been stuck in the same gimmick and place as a heel or face for too long.

 

I think the only people who think Dean is "edgy" are in the Bible Belt.

 

It's been quite the day!!

 

Roman Dean Seth 1, 2, and 3 entrants in the Rumble. Place goes nuts.

 

I'm actually down with that booking. I think the idea that they only have one match is foolish for sure, unless its getting some crazy stip like a Cage match.

Hahaha, that would be sick. And if Seth is forced in at #1, Dean at #2 (assuming SD and RAW alternate), it'd actually make kayfabe sense to send Roman in just to eliminate Dean as a threat.
