The Machine won't let the Wrestling Thread Win

Does Will Smith in Hancock count?

Yep.

Let us not forget Blade.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

I'm reading rumors that Cena may be facing Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania.

For the soul of Daniel Bryan!



Hope that **** doesn't happen.

Sine Big Dave is coming back, this is his look in Guardians of the Galaxy (according to James Gunn on Twitter):

Now compare to this:

Keeping Zoe and Dirty Dave far away from each other. I bet it's written in her contract.

I think either Bryan is facing Wyatt at WrestleMania or he's facing Cena. WWE might do some BS storyline where Bryan is heel and Cena tries to make him see the light. Of course Bryan won't get the massive pop he could have for winning the Rumble because the Mommies and kids would boo him.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Thinking about this earlier....

- The Rock should not play Lex Luthor. He would be a nice John Stewart though. He's not too expensive like Will Smith or too old like Denzel Washington. Then again, it could be Lobo. I don't think he plays a villain. Black Adam? Isn't he mainly a part of the Shazam storylines?

Some people say the streak shouldn't end because it's the greatest feat in wrestling history and should stand forever. I guess I can see that argument, however, it's a missed opportunity to not make someone by ending it.

I agree. Undertaker will always be a legend and ending the streak could be a great moment if done properly.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Only Taker will decide if the streak is broken or not and he will decide who breaks that streak.

I'm reading rumors that Cena may be facing Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania.

It's been talked about but I have the suspicion Cena himself would turn it down.

 

[Hunter Rider]

While I personally wouldn't have a problem with Cena ending it, I know many would be against it. Better to have to a guy whose been around for a years get the nod than a veteran like Orton, Batista, or Sting.

While Del Rio, Ziggler, and Bryan would all have great matches with Undertaker, fans in general wouldn't buy them ending The Streak. Punk couldn't get the job done. The Phenom doesn't have many credible choices from the current line-up.

I'm not convinced they will end the streak even though I 100% think they should, and if they do my feeling is it will be to create a moment, it wont be to make a star, and if they go that route it needs to be Cena in my view.

So CM Punk didn't like his match with Seth Rollins. Wonder if the mistimed spots annoyed him.

I love Punk but damn is he a moody bugger.

He would make an awesome Black Adam, but I don't think a Shazam movie will ever get made.

That's true. He could easily walk away with it. I have read he's been willing to end it numerous times

Definitely thinking Stewart/Lobo - maybe even Doomsday. I don't think Black Adam either (although I wouldn't mind it) but it's largely due to Peter Segal saying the Shazam movie won't “see the light of day anytime soon.”

I think that if Taker wants the streak to end, it will end. The WWE is not going to decide that for him. Taker decides if the streak ends and who ends it if he decides it should end.

And he's wanted Kane to do it, but Kane has said he's not interested.

- Last night's episode of WWE RAW, which featured the return of Brock Lesnar and was the final show of 2013, averaged 4.128 million viewers, up 8% from last week's RAW Christmas episode.

This week's show did 4.141 million viewers in the first hour, 4.204 million viewers in the second hour and 4.04 million viewers in the third hour.

Most probably true and if that is the case and he's the guy everyone says he is, then it will be ended by someone.

 

[Hunter Rider]

My feeling is that Bryan may be used as Bray's surrogate to fight Cena in some weird soul saving angle, I can see WWE wanting to utilize the Bray Wyatt character in a big angle with Cena but at the same time knowing he is nowhere near ready to hang with Cena in the caliber of match they'd want for the top guy at the biggest show of the year. So Bray handles the promos and Bryan handles the wrestling, that's my current theory anyway.

 

[RetroNaz]

My current theory is that the Bryan storyline was disappointing.
Listen to the crowd reaction. The life was sucked out of the crowd and it didn't earn the big heat it should have.

Either people are already starting to cool off on Bryan, or the fact that they haven't pounced on his popularity is a bad move. Particularly with the massive Cena fatigue that's been ongoing for a number of years now. We need fresh stars, Orton and Cena aren't fresh.

It's sad if that's true. Bryan is the most over guy on the roster (even surpassing Punk). He deserves more than be a puppet. This is why I hope the Wyatts become tweeners. Not because I want them to, but because it means Bryan probably won't be a puppet.

i wonder if the ratings spike was due in part to the henry/lesnar confrontation being spoiled by the smackdown tapings

 

[Van Petrol]

^ Maybe the end of MNF had something to do with it also.

 

[Van Petrol]

Btw, Happy New Year Guys!

 

[Wheels]

My issue the Daniel Bryan character gets absolutely nothing after all his struggles. He's not going to get the title run he wants. No true happy ending for him at all. And no, being saved by another man and not getting a nice title run is not a happy or satisfying ending.

 

[bullets]

Happy new year everyone!

Kurt Angle also before Vince put a stop to it.
