The Machine won't let the Wrestling Thread Win

[Mrs. Sawyer]

It's because he's protected by Trips.

I could tolerate Orton more if they made him a Champion who's earned it on his own (and probably could have gotten people to care if he did), but Triple H's involvement this fall really ruined Championship storylines and made Orton look awful by comparison.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

And I do like the guy but maybe he's been given one chance too many?

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I wouldn't say that. They call it 3 strikes for a reason and hasn't it been a few years since his last violation?

I think it annoy me more than Orton hasn't really been able to get any heat on him because of Trips.

Either make him the coporate champions or don't, but Vince never made The Rock or Triple H look bad on TV when either were Corporate Champion.

 

[runawayboulder]

I think Orton's last violation was 2 years ago.

 

[Slushy]

It's all starting to sound pretty weak.

Punk vs. HHH can happen on another PPV.

CM Punk has a chance of finally getting revenge against Triple H at Wrestlemania of all places and you don't want to see that? Really?

Yeah....I'm that sick of him, I'd be OK with Cena having the belt until WM and dropping it to either Punk or Bryan. Bryan gets the gold, Punk gets his precious WM main event spot and Cena gets a little more juice for putting over a popular superstar once again. It's a WIN-WIN all around.

Wait, so you're sick of Orton, but okay with Cena? The guy whose had more title reigns and longer ones at that?

I really dislike that the WWE is so high on Orton. It really baffles the mind that Triple H's ego is so big that he wants his own pet projects to main event Wrestlemania.

Orton hasn't main evented WrestleMania 25. Hell, he hasn't been in the world title match at the event since then either.

 

[Warhammer]

If it is CM Punk vs. Triple H, I wonder if they'd really go all the way back and bring up their past history.

 

[Hunter Rider]

For what it's worth, it's said that Triple H vs. CM Punk for WrestleMania XXX is a lock. Plans are to do another "Summer of Punk" style program, possibly leading to Punk vs. Batista at SummerSlam.

So that would suggest maybe we'll be getting an Evolution reunion, I don't mind this but it then becomes a must that Bryan is in the main event.

The feeling is that when Roman Reigns turns babyface and splits from The Shield, likely in February, that he will be replaced with a new member in the group. Mason Ryan's name has been discussed.

.......No, if they do this then just use your resident main roster useless meathead Ryback, if they want to do it well repackage Aleksander Rusev, but really Rollins and Ambrose should go their own way as well.

- Another idea that was discussed for Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania XXX is to have him team with John Cena and Daniel Bryan to face The Wyatt Family in a six-man match.

This crossed my mind the other day, great for Hogan and The Wyatt's, ass juice from a Camel for Bryan and Cena.

 

[Warhammer]

When Reigns leaves the Shield, the Shield should be no more. It's a simple as that. And damn, I guess that means we really aren't getting a Shield vs Wyatt Family angle. Motherf***er.

How was Smackdown?,What were the highlights?

Triple H makes sure to ruin all of Orton's title runs. That's kinda his thing.

It's a good thing… the Wrestling Thread would explode from excitement.

 

[NDX]

How was Smackdown?,What were the highlights?

Wyatts vs Brotherhood was stiff as hell and a great watch. Punk/Usos vs Shield was good as usual. Liked the closing stretch a lot.

That's too easy an idea for them.

Yep, the two main highlights of the show and that Wyatt/Bryan promo vid at the end was pretty good.

 

[TX85]

Did D-Bry cut a promo about joining the Wyatt Family?,I'm guessing they're waiting till Retro Raw to start moving the storyline ahead

 

[NDX]

Nah, it was a video package. Since this was recorded before RAW on Monday, they didn't go and give everything away, like with Lesnar's return.

 

[TX85]

I forgot Smackdown was tapped earlier than Raw

 

[TX85]

Shield keeps getting better on the mic,Rhodes Brothers vs Wyatt family was awesome!!

 

[NDX]

That triple jump crossbody to the outside Cody did was beautiful, wasn't it? The whole match worked well. All four of them performed their asses off, gave a great match in the end. Nice to see Cody stepping it up after seeing what Goldust has been putting out since his return.

After that match, need to see Goldust and Harper go one on one. That could be a brutal fight, seeing how they worked on SD.

 

[The Sage]

- As noted before, WWE has discussed Roddy Piper, Hulk Hogan and John Cena working together in the main event at WrestleMania XXX. Ideas discussed include Cena and Hogan vs. Piper and another heel, Hogan and Piper vs. Swagger and Cesaro or Hogan vs. Piper in a Legends singles match.

Word is that Piper himself has pitched the idea of teaming with another heel to face Hogan and Cena with the idea that it would play off the WrestleMania I main event, which saw Hogan and Mr. T defeat Piper and Paul Orndorff.

Hogan should be host, and maybe give a big boot to Zeb Colter.

If they are going to replace Reigns in Shield, I'd go with the main event playa with the new attitude, Brodus Clay. He's huge and can talk, would work well as a heavy hitter. Though it seems to me Reigns will be face VERY soon, and Rollins will try to maintain the peace before going face.

I hope we get more foucs on the tag division as it is getting good again, The Brotherhood, The Usos, Harper and Rowan, Reigns and Rollins (for now), Real Americans, and the Prime Time Playas, and I'd add Sandow/Ryback and book them as the ultimate combination of brains and brawn. And we have Matadores and 3MB to be the divisions jobbers. I'd also like to see McIntyre and Barrett be a tag team.

I was thinking about WM30, and came up with my ideal card:

Cena/Punk/Bryan (WWE WHC Match): I think this should definitely be the ME for WM XXX: The Top three stars of the current era facing off. I’d have Cena win the title at Royal Rumble, with Bryan winning the rumble match. And much like Shawn did in the build for WM20, I’d have Punk cleverly get himself into the match. Bryan would win the title, finally getting an actual title reign.


Taker/Lensar (Streak Match): IMO, this one writes itself. Bring up the fact that Taker never beat Brock one on one, as well as their UFC incident.

Batista/Orton: Since Batista will probably be face, I’d have the Authority try and lure Batista to their side, only for him to reject them. The Authority/Orton would then interfere in Batista’s matches and commit other shenanigans. I’d bring in Ric Flair and have him side with Batista. Batista would win the match, only to have him looking strong so he could eventually put over either Punk or Bryan at Summerslam.

The Shield vs. The Wyatt Family: I like the idea of the Wyatt’s actually being anti authority all along, and would possibly make them the anti-heroes in this feud. Tease Reigns’ eventually face turn even further, culminating in The Wyatt’s beating the Shield at WM. Post Match, we would see the Shield finally erupt, ending with Reigns spearing both Rollins and Ambrose.

AJ vs. Natalya (Diva’s Title Match): AJ should get her comeuppance at WM30, and T the moment, Nattie is the only one I can see taking the title off of her. The storyline could tie into Nattie always being looked over.

Dolph Ziggler vs. Alberto Del Rio (Ladder Match): I would have Dolph acknowledge two things: That he has spent a lot of time losing, and that he has spent a lot of time losing to Del Rio. Ziggler would decide to put his contract on the line, claiming that if he can’t be Del Rio at WM, he can’t call himself the showoff, and if he can’t call himself the showoff, his WWE career is over.

Big E Langston’s Gauntlet Match (IC Title): IMO, this would be a good way to show off Big E’s power and toughness, while putting guys in a WM match. This would be a perfect chance to show off the 5 count gimmick.

Any thoughts? I had no idea what could be done for The Rhodes Brothers, to be honest.

WWE has a new policy in place that allows for talents with two strikes to get one removed after completing a wellness class. Orton probably has one strike now.

I like The Batman's card but maybe you should add a four corners tag title match.

Question, do you guys see the WWE becoming a better product after Vince finally steps down from his position (due to old age or whatnot) and with Triple H and Stephanie gaining full control? Or do you guys see it remaining the same, if not becoming worse?

I think Triple H will keep tradition alive , but not sure how he'll do thinking outside the box. Vince is a brilliant man.

I think Umaga was in the same boat but refused rehab or any type of counseling. The wellness policy still seems like a joke to me though.
