Professional Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH, etc)

3 way match between Brock, Reigns, and Bryan at Wrestlemania.

Make it happen WWE.

[Lean]

Stone Cold thinks that Reigns isn't ready to be champion. What I do think though, is that Seth Rollins is ready to carry the main event heel spot. I also wouldn't want Bryan to be in the main event, because I would vouch for a Bryan-Ziggler match instead. That would definitely steal the show.

Also, it's NXT today. Itami vs. Bálor in the #1 Contender's tournament semis. Next week will be Takeover IV which I think is titled Rival.

Itami/Balor. WHOA WHAT A MATCH

[Lean]

I'd see that tonight.

Anyone expect a Wyatt - Undertaker match at WrestleMania?

[Andrew]

They seem to be planting the seeds for one.

Daniel Bryan tonight.

Rumor is that Vince finally conceded on him main eventing WM which is really cool, and even better if he wins

I dunno. Seems pretty stupid that the WWE is giving in to the fans again.

[Andrew]

Giving the fans what they want to see and taking advantage of crowd reactions is kind of what the business is about. Pushing back on crowd reactions is what puts them in tough situations in the first place.

what's funny is that pitting Bryan vs Roman at fast lane is asking people to boo Roman, which might actually work if they turn him heel and have him beat Brock and Bryan at wm

And of course, Seth Rollins still has that MITB briefcase...

He has some other things as well...

[Andrew]

Yeah, that was unfortunate for him. Hopefully, that incident won't halt his push.

On another note: if Undertaker/Bray Wyatt does go ahead, Taker will have feuded with two generations of Rotundas; 20 years ago, he faced I.R.S. at the 1995 Royal Rumble, as part of his ongoing feud with Ted Dibiase's Million Dollar Corporation.

[zz21]

YEEEEESSSS!!!!
I hope his persona with the nxt title will be the way he acted in roh. pg-13 modified, of course.

Samoa Joe leaves TNA.

Obviously a big loss for TNA since he would've been a huge part of the rebuild for the company. I don't blame him for leaving since at this point he would earn more money in the indies or Japan. (I'd love to see him join the Bullet Club BTW)

I'll always remember the guy during his TNA days for that undefeated streak. In hindsight I thought him tapping out to Kurt Angle really hurt TNA badly.

[[Q]]

this is awesome

[zz21]

So Orton Came back and I guess everyone caught an rko after the authority got done burying Ziggler. How does he go from eliminating almost everyone in an elimination tag match to getting worked on at a ppv by Kane and Big Show.

[[Q]]

Usually their PPVs are pretty solid (wrestling-wise) but this was an afterthought meant to set up WM so I definitely wasted my time watching this. why can't we have NXT twice a week instead of this garbage? And roman winning should be no surprise, but there was a sliver of hope that DB would win
LOL @ Cena coaching Rusev on what to do on the submissions
and LOL @ Paige telling Nikki about the knee that's coming

and thank god Kidd & Cesaro take the belts off of the stale Usos. That was the only bright spot in the PPV. The worst was that stupid Corey Graves guy talking. I don't get why they are so high on him. It's a shame he got hurt so now we're stuck with him. Also LOL @ Lillian messing up multiple times

[Andrew]

Looks like Undertaker/Bray Wyatt is all but confirmed. Surely, there's no way they have Wyatt cut that promo without intending to follow through.

That's a hard one to book. It wouldn't surprise me if it's Taker's last match, and if so, I also wouldn't be surprised to see him follow the old school tradition of losing it. Then again, he's already kind of done that with Brock Lesnar last year. If it's booked as a competitive match in which Wyatt looks good, but doesn't get the victory, it's not going to hurt him.

I'm biased because Taker is my all-time favourite, but I don't think he should lose two straight at Wrestlemania to end his career. It just seems a bit undignified, especially the way his loss has been talked up so much over the past year, with Lesnar, Cena, and now Wyatt making allusions to him not being able to come back from it. After all the horrible workers he's been made to work with and even put over during his career in WWF/WWE, I think he deserves to be triumphant in his final match. By all means protect Wyatt, make him look strong, and perhaps even have Taker pass the torch by naming him his successor in being the company's Man from the Dark Side. But let Taker have redemption for his loss, and stand tall in victory, especially if this is his last match.

I think the match itself should be entertaining enough, though it probably shouldn't be a lengthy affair. I'm predicting we'll see Wyatt do his Exorcist flip/walk to stare at a downed Taker, only for Taker to sit up and look him right back in the eye, which would be a pretty cool moment/visual.

Of course, I can't help feeling that it should be Taker/Sting, but it is what it is. It'll still be cool to see Sting have a match in the WWF/WWE, and at Wrestlemania.

[koberulz]

Taker/Sting suffers from both guys being far enough past it that they need someone to carry them to a degree.

Really, 'Taker shouldn't come back. Him losing has now lost all significance, because the Streak is over, but him winning doesn't achieve anything either.

Canceled the Network after the Rumble. Was still signed up through the 12th, so I got to catch Rival before it expired, and have no plans to go back. Didn't even sign up for the free month, despite several emails from WWE insisting that I do so. Outside of NXT, I genuinely don't see myself watching any WWE programming as long as Vince runs things.

[[Q]]

It should definitely be taker and sting. Triple h pulls the strings and believes that people still want to see him wrestle. I think with Bray, taker will get the win but it'll be a war and he'll get carried out after winning, effectively ending his career.

So at WM, I'm assuming they are planning Orton/Rollins and Bryan/Dolph?

[Andrew]

I hope he doesn't get carried out. As I said, I think that if this is his retirement match, he needs to stand triumphant. He certainly deserves it.

Orton/Rollins definitely seems to be in the cards to be on the card. There were rumblings of Bryan/Sheamus, but that would be a terribly rushed and largely uninteresting program. It'd probably be a solid enough match, but Bryan/Ziggler would be better.
