The Wrestling Thread be droppin' its Rs and stuff

Triple H should have clapped when Cena won. He then should have went on RAW and tried to bring Cena into the fold. He's everything a corporation would want representing them. It's funny that a COO doesn't want Captain Wonder Bread in the top position. I mean he's Mr. Make A Wish, c'mon.

Might I add, this could actually help them make Cena more liked than he is by him turning them down. He gets to be anti-establishment without being the full-on rebel. It could really have worked there. Instead, we're going to get Orton crying about how he was cheated. A possible "under the bus" toss for Kane and MAYBE even Orton. I could see Triple H kicking both of them to the curb for letting him down one too many times. Hell, Orton could even come out of this thing as a face! Scary, right?

I don't think it would get Cena more over as a face, but it's more believable. Heretic pointed this out as well I see.

By the way, Rollins getting help from Kane shows that he's getting something out of his turn. He's getting an easier path to success. Everything about his win makes his decision look better.

I am just so sick of Orton.

One potentially good thing about this result is that it makes Rollins right now kind of the de facto #1 heel in a way, because right now his MIB win is the only weapon the Authority has left at this moment. I'm not saying he should cash in on Cena, but they can use the threat of him cashing in as a way to antagonize Cena until he presumably loses the title at Summerslam. It will build Rollins as an effective villain without necessarily putting him in a position where he gets fed to Cena in an actual title defense.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Cena's gonna be fed to Brock at SummerSlam anyways so it wouldn't matter that much.

And even though I found the ending to the briefcase to be a bit lame, there are people on the internet who outright hated Kane. I'm not a Kane fan, but do people hate Kane that much to the point where people are upset that Tyler Black won a chance to be a future World Champion?

 

[runawayboulder]

Was Scarlett part of the Rosebuds again? I couldn't tell. There's too damn many of them and the camera is always shaky. She needs to be front and center at all times dammit.

 

[Lobo]

Hmmm perhaps a new avvy?

- We noted before that the returning Scott Dawson and the debuting Dash Wilder picked up a win at a WWE NXT live event this weekend. Apparently the name of their tag team is The Mechanics.

- Several fans sitting ringside at Money In the Bank noted that Triple H was right there with the WWE medics as they checked on and worked on Randy Orton’s cut to the head in the main event.

- As noted, media in Japan are reporting that WWE will be announcing KENTA’s signing at a press conference during their Japanese tour in July. WWE’s office in Japan announced on Sunday that a major Japanese superstar would sign a WWE contract at the July 12th live event in Osaka but did not name KENTA.

Watch them swerve us and they sign Okada instead RIGHT before the G1 Climax. Oh, it's just a dream of mine? Aww....

 

[Van Petrol]

This is a few years ago, but Austin looks bigger than both Rock and Goldberg.

 

[Van Petrol]

Glad Rollins won, just hope that when he cashes in, it won't be a failed one.

He's also standing in front of the Rock but Austin definitely looks to be in great shape.

 

[Benstamania]

I don't think I will ever get used to bald Rock, lol.

 

[Donnie Darko]

You know, while the briefcase match might have had a couple cooler spots (although there were some great spots in the title match), I think the title match did a better job of handling the number of guys in the match. It seemed like there were more extended periods in the earlier match where we were all like "wait, did Dolph Ziggler leave? Is Kofi asleep?" The title match seemed to keep the guys engaged more, but I could be remembering it differently than how it actually happened.

 

[runawayboulder]

It's always the same. Some guy will get dropped kicked and be laid out for 15 min.

The spot where each guy being alone in the ring, trying to climb the ladder only to be stopped by someone else was stupid except for Orton's RKO off the ladder.

In which they will announce his WWE name as Yoshi Fuji and that he will come out wearing a kimono and carrying a samurai sword while losing to Hornswoggle a million times in a row resulting in Michael Cole laughing like a raging tool on the air.....resulting in the WWE Universe not giving a damn. Also he will be accompanied to the ring by a chef who cooks and serves him sushi before he competes.

 

[Dr. Evil]

As for Cena....he's at a point in his career where he can afford to be a transitional champion. Him winning the title last night and then losing the title to Lesnar at Summerslam doesn't hurt his career any. Can't say the same had Reigns, Cesaro or Wyatt won last night. Winning the title last night would have been a huge detriment to their careers if the plan is to drop the title to Lesnar at Summerslam.

 

[runawayboulder]

I wonder who Cena feuds with until Summerslam?

I'd go with Cesaro. You give Cesaro some more main event exposure and Lesnar can do a run in at Battleground to set up Summerslam. It will also lay the foundation for Cesaro to turn full on face and maybe go against Brock later.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Knowing the WWE he'll face Kane or Orton for the millionth time.

 

[X Knight]

so there was no surprise cash in last night?

 

[Trainwreck2100]

i still cant believe they are actually calling rollins finisher the curbstomp, i give it 4 months till some moms group complains over twitter and they rename it to something stupid

Nope.
