The Machine won't let the Wrestling Thread Win

[Van Petrol]

They already have that, they're called NXT and Sara Del Rey. Watch Paige, Emma, Bayley, Summer Rae, and Sasha Bank on NXT.

I'd like to see Sara Del Rey on the main roster.

I feel like maybe we should stop projecting big hopes on these guys WWE will never run with. Maybe WWE should bring back the Lght Heavyweight Championship and make it a big deal. I mean it's always gonna be the same body type on top regardless of who is more over.

I know how you feel man, I guess once the Rumble is over we'll know, taking a sabbatical is not that hard as I found out.

- The Wrestling Observer Newsletter recently reported that Bray Wyatt vs. John Cena was the current plan for the main event at WrestleMania XXX but that’s not the case.

Word going around WWE is that Cena vs. Wyatt was not something discussed recently. The idea of doing that match came up over a month ago with the idea that Wyatt could win the Royal Rumble and challenge Cena for the title at WrestleMania XXX. However, this storyline was mapped out before WWE made the decision to unify the titles at TLC, before they made Randy Orton champion and before the announcement of Batista’s return.

There’s now a feeling within WWE that Batista will win the Rumble and challenge whoever has the title at WrestleMania XXX. This doesn’t mean that we won’t see Wyatt vs. Cena down the line, but most likely not at WrestleMania XXX as WWE has other plans for Cena at the big event.

Can't you find some good news to post man? I find it hard to believe Cena vs Bray was ever on the table, especially as the main event. Batista winning the Rumble will be one of the most disgusting things ever in WWE. I hope the other plans for Cena are him vs Taker, that is the only way I'll be watching Mania if Batista wins the Rumble.

I'm trying, Hunter. I'm trying.

- With AJ Styles returning to Ring of Honor next month, there is some speculation that ROH and TNA may be working together but that is not the case. Styles is really done with TNA and this is not part of a storyline.

Both companies had been feeling each other out for some time and at one point, AJ had discussions with ROH about working with them in 2014 once his TNA deal expired. At some point, those talks halted because AJ was negotiating with TNA.

When Jeff Jarrett announced his resignation from TNA, word is that Styles took that as a sign that all was not right with TNA and perhaps he doesn't want to return to the company any time soon.

I have a feeling that this years taker rival might be The Rock. Not sure why but I think the Cena and Rock thing has played out and I can see Rock Turning Heel in a shocker. Not winning but simular to when he can't beat Taker and The Athority try to help Him win it like Vince Helped Austin steal the belt from the rock only its the streak.

In the end though as it is about to happen Wyatts music hits and its revealed Taker is the Devil Bray meant

 

[Slushy]

It looks like the World Heavyweight Title has been retired. RIP Big Gold.

I hope not for I think its the better looking belt really.

Rock had already said recently he's not involved in Wrestlemania this year. It's not surprising because of his busy schedule. Maybe next year though.

It was bound to happen soon. Have they already released a DVD/Blu-Ray set on the belt's history?

Cool. They need to do another one.

The only saving grace for me, for Wrestlemania, is if HBK vs Bryan happens. I SO hope it does. I need it, man. I'm not sure how I feel about Triple H/CM Punk. How the booking is done leading up to it will determine that.

I was thinking the same thing. If he's a not in the title match, then Bryan vs Michaels is our only hope for a big Mania match for Bryan. I'm a Bray Wyatt fan but Bryan has earned a better match than that.

Batista winning the RR would be so stupid.

it should be either Punk or Bryan!!

 

[Van Petrol]

It was interesting to hear Trips mention both Bryan and Punk, when talking about those at the top of the ladder in his most recent sit-down interview with Cole.

The 6 he mentioned were: Orton, Cena, Punk, Bryan, Brosnar and Big Dave.

We'll see if what he comes out with next week on Raw, but I don't think it's gone just yet.

At this point, whether someone is over or not doesn't matter.

Mainly because a name star ending it will be more believable than a non name star, or some one who still needs the rub, coming in and ending it.

For instance.

Triple H, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, CM Punk, Mark Henry, Kevin Nash, and a host of other big superstars couldn't end it....... but a Seth Rollins, or Roman Reigns, or a Sheamus can?


Doesn't work.

And that's not take away from them, or even those who have tried and lost. But lets get real....... It took Triple H three tries, and Shawn Michaels two, to even come close.


Having some fresh face come in and end it first time out, perhaps dominantly, would just be wrong at this point.


Maybe 10 years ago, when the Streak wasn't so big (like they almost did with Orton), but its too big for that now.

It does work because it shows that this new guy is the ****. He beat The Undertaker at WrestleMania, he could be the biggest star in the history of the company.

Having an established star beat him does nothing for anyone.

This. The Streak has become too big to be ended by some up and comer. Its one of those ideas that, IMO, is only appealing to online wrestling fans.

When Hogan ended Andre's win streak, he was already a made guy, and had held the WWE title for three years straight at that point. If the streak was to end, it should be broken by a guy like Daniel Bryan, who has proven that he has sustained popularity.

It's been proven that wrestlers don't need to end the streak in order to get a "rub" from wrestling the Undertaker at WrestleMania.

In fact, that's what his matches seem to be these days; potential MOTY candidates which showcases both talents.

The streak is now simply a marketing thing.

Exactly. Stealing the show with Taker is "rub" enough. Jaded fans may not see it that way, though. If a guy like Punk or Bryan ended the streak, it'd be great...but if the streak never ended, its not like its gonna doom the WWE. Superstars can get over in other ways.

 

[TX85]

I'm mixed on a new guy fresh guy ending the streak,WM XXX would be perfect to do it though,IF Taker doesn't face Brock then I want Cena/Randy Orton or Sheamus to face Taker but out of those 3 I think only Cena should end the streak

 

[Dr. Evil]

The WWE needs to bring out the entire Divas locker room to distract Batista. This way he doesn't win.

Hmmm...I am probably the only one who finds Batista vs. Lesnar for the Title interesting. I think this is where they are leading to.

LOL, it has nothing to do with being an online wrestling fan. It has to do with building stars for the future.

Hogan and Andre is a completely different situation. At it's core, the feud was based on Andre turning on his friend. Andre was the unstoppable heel. Hogan had been champion for three years, everyone that is a star now has been around a lot longer than three years. Except Bryan, but he doesn't need to end the streak either.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I'd like to see Sara Del Rey on the main roster.

Imagine Sara Del Rey vs Natalya vs AJ vs Paige in a Fatal Four Way(if you really know what I mean )? t:

Undertaker can't wrestle forever and I don't understand this idea of the streak never ending. It makes more sense to create more story after he's gone. I'm sure there are people outside the internet who understand that. I don't think this idea makes me jaded. It seems more interesting and this isn't his last year but it is coming soon.

 

[Wheels]

I wouldn't even suggest Bryan end it. I don't even care if they end it THAT much anymore. It just makes for good conversation and I like sharing my views. Undertaker has been showing up in his matches at WrestleMania and he got The Shield ever more over. But hey, maybe I'm wrong for even suggesting an up and comer.

 

[Terminator]

You're not. I mean, I'm sorry, but I just don't understand the logic in giving the biggest win in years and years to someone already established. Why waste a career defining moment on someone with an already illustrious career?

Imagine Reigns leaves the Shield post Rumble or Mania. Goes on an unbeaten streak and maybe even heads into Mania 31 as champion. He beats The Undertaker. Less than two years into his career on the main stage and he should be set for life.
