Professional Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH, etc)

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

Yes, that would be Daniel Bryan. He's one of the best workers in the company (if not the best), and the Yes! chants got over big time. Not being the biggest guy on the roster, he's also very suited to underdog angles, which audiences tend to get behind in any medium.

Ok I get it, thank you. Really like this Wyatt family thing. Bryan's face looks very familiar though but I won't spoil it for the people not knowing his former image

Oh sorry. It was a typo. I wanted to say Bray's * face looks familiar. As in Bray Wyatt. He might look like a particular Husky, just saying

I think there was a promo or something on Twitter where he said Husky Harris was Bray's vessel or something

The fact that the Main Event isn't littered with Bray and Ziggler is a real shame. Those two guys are more entertaining than anyone else they've got. Ziggler and Rollins could have some great matches, as could Rollins and Bryan. Bray Wyatt could be the biggest heel or face in the company depending how they chose to spin his persona. He deserves to be in the title hunt.

First, they need to get the title off Lesnar, so it can be on TV full-time and actually be there for them to vie for. ;)

I actually don't dislike Lesnar. His match at RR was great and he plays his role wonderfully. They just need to find another way to utilize him aside from World Champion.

From the sounds of things, he's likely gone after Wrestlemania anyway.

But then we've got Reigns as champ? I think that's worse than having Lesnar. And I like Reigns more than most seem to. I just think he needs to probably be a heel with limited mic work. If you want people to boo him, let his actions garner them. People like booing the strong, oversized, dominant guy anyway. And for Christ's sake, stop having him wear a bullet proof vest looking thing. It's just awful.

Reigns needs another year, but if Lesnar's leaving they have to put the belt on him now.

Basically, 'Taker should have gone over at 'Mania.

Seth Rollins also has the MITB briefcase. It's certainly possible that he rains on Reigns' parade, or inserts himself into the main event. I could see them going that route if they do lose confidence in Reigns.

Well, time to spoiler up about the Wrasslemania card

http://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/c ... a_31_card/
Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns [set in stone]
Triple H vs. Sting [set in stone]
Bray Wyatt vs. The Undertaker
Rusev (c) vs. John Cena
Randy Orton vs. Seth Rollins
Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler
Battle Royal
Divas Match
Tag Title Match



So that kills my hope for Rollins in the main event.....maybe?

If Taker is indeed going to work Wrestlemania - which I don't think has been confirmed - then I'd rather see him take on Sting. I guess HHH sees himself as the best representative in a "WWF vs WCW" themed match; he's certainly suitable, but Taker/Sting would be far more special, even if it's not quite the match it could've once been. It's not as though HHH churns out consistent five star matches either, or has a reputation for saving Wrestlemania with his matches. In fact, I'd argue that the only times he's been involved in the "must see" match of the night, he was squaring off against Taker.

His match with Bryan last year was not bad either.

I'm still hoping for a Rollins cash-in before WrestleMania, cementing a Brock face turn. Or a Rollins cash-in after Reigns wins it. Then a Rollins-Reigns-Lesnar triple threat at Extreme Rules, then Lesnar leaves because of the "extreme nature" of the title match.

Also, I'd vote for a Bryan-Ziggler match, too. Anyone remember their match at Bragging Rights 2010? That match stole the show.

HHH thinks too highly of himself. He hasn't done anything interesting since the DX days with NAO & Xpac

Somehow I find this version of "Voices" better than what Randy's actually using.

phpBB [video]


...not as an entrance song, but as a song itself. I believe this was used in a WrestleMania 30 commercial featuring Orton. There's an acoustic version of Batista's "I Walk Alone" too.

This week's NXT, wow. Neville vs. Kidd never disappoints. And the Zayn-Owens match is now for the title! I just hope the guys at NXT change the design of the belt, it looks like a toy.

Yeah, it's a good cover, but not exactly entrance theme material.

He did kind of revived NXT though or I think he is the main reason why NXT direction is where is it today.

Ugh, I'm still mad about Reigns winning.

To be fair to HHH he's probably the one who convinced Sting to sign with the WWE, same way he convinced Bruno Sammartino to accept a WWE Legends contract (along with $1m instead of the standard $10k for said contract).

If HHH brought Sting to the WWE then HHH deserves to have a first shot at him.
HE'S USING HYPNOSIS!

Sure, but most people watch RAW and the main roster and the fact that he has made NXT a great show to watch and then forces himself on us and tells us that's what we really want to see, that's just insulting. He thought he was the only one "worthy" enough of facing the Undertaker at WM twice, CM Punk last year and this year Sting when he is no longer an active wrestler. This is like when Hogan was running TNA if he were booking himself matches with Sting/Kurt Angle/Ric Flair etc

I have a bad feeling they're using Bryan as a way to give Reigns any legitimacy amongst fans. He's the only person that could do it.

Quite likely, and it'll probably backfire if they pull the rug out from underneath Bryan again. On the other hand, if they get him involved in the title match, it could salvage the match as it did when they made the same mistake last year.
