The Wrestling Thread beat up Daddy

[Benstamania]

Rumor has it that Tonga could also have also signed with WWE. That's just added.. Not confirmed.

 

[Bat Brain]

Another rumour says that [BLACKOUT]Styles could debut at the Royal Rumble[/BLACKOUT]

 

[javonstokess]

Was Cena's appearance last week a 1 shot deal?

 

[runawayboulder]

If Roman gets one of those boobies to pop out I'll cheer him for the rest of my life.

 

[javonstokess]

Pretty nice twist there.

 

[LOBO3315a]

Did we almost have a wardrobe malfunction with Steph? Also, was that Michael Cole's chewing gum on Shamus' back?

 

[JabarR]

Woah!!!!! Vinnie Mac taken back to old school Royal Rumble!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[runawayboulder]

That's an interesting development. I mean, if Roman loses the title to the Rumble winner, it frees him up to regain a title shot at Fast Lane then face the champ (prob Lesnar) at WM. It does give them tons of other avenues to go down.

One things for sure, Vince needs to get off TV again. He's so slow, it really disrupted the match. He may have the arms of a 25 year old but he moves like a 90 year old.

In an update from earlier, WWE has reportedly signed New Japan Pro Wrestling stars AJ Styles, Doc Gallows, Karl Anderson and current IWGP Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura, according to F4Wonline.com. The group reportedly informed NJPW booker Gedo that they were finishing up before WrestleKingdom 10 this morning.

No word yet on when the four will begin work with WWE but Nakamura apparently is not leaving early as he will most likely drop his title before leaving.

Anderson was reportedly also in talks with TNA and close to signing but the WWE deal came through instead. Anderson, Gallows and Nakamura are expected to honor their Ring of Honor dates for February and AJ is likely done with ROH going forward.

We’ll have more on this story later.

I have to say that was a fun ending.A little sloppy,but entertaining none the less.

 

[The Apocalypse]

Another rumour says that [BLACKOUT]Styles could debut at the Royal Rumble[/BLACKOUT]

Would they really give him a pass and let him come straight to the main roster?

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Wha....no.........
Shinsuke and AJ, to WWE?

 

[Bat Brain]

Would they really give him a pass and let him come straight to the main roster?

[BLACKOUT]Well I guess he could potentially debut at the Rumble and go to NXT from there.[/BLACKOUT]

 

[Urich Leeds]

Aaaand as I predicted. Roman will lose the title at the Rumble, and will go on to defeat the new champion at Mania, as was planned from the beginning. And, also as was originally planned, he'll probably be defeating Brock at Mania.

Cue Cole and Saxton acting shocked at Reigns "overcoming the odds", and JBL saying "I love it, Maggle".

 

[runawayboulder]

He'd be fine on the main roster unless Triple H has some sort of Bullet Club reunion storyline planned for NXT.

 

[Bat Brain]

As for Raw, just once I'd like to see a surprise winner at the Rumble. But common sense says it will be Reigns or Lesnar. Either way, Reigns gets his Wrestlemania moment against Lesnar.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Doc Gallows? He failed the last time he was in the WWE as Fake Kane, Festus and Luke Gallows? Why would he want to come back?

 

[Benstamania]

Money and better ideas on NXT?

 

[Dr. Evil]

Money and better ideas on NXT?

So would he come back as Luke Gallows in WWE and say that he's been in Japan the last few years?

 

[Dr. Evil]

ummm...wasn't John Cena supposed to be at Raw tonight?

 

[TheCommissioner]

So would he come back as Luke Gallows in WWE and say that he's been in Japan the last few years?

I think he'd probably go as Doc Gallows and as they did with Matt Bloom say he wrestled in the WWE formerly as Festus or whatever but is back with a tag team

its not all that hard to figure out

and yes, hed come back for stable money and a chance for some success in the big time

I love NJPW as much as the next guy but if you want to "make it" in wrestling, you want to do it in the WWE

 

[Incrediblejeff]

Those are some huge signings.I have to wonder if WWE has any plans to use these guys on the main roster or will they be just for NXT.

 

[Wheels]

Not big on Gallows as a talker/character but he's a decent wrestler. I think Punk saw something we haven't seen because he thinks Gallows is really good.

 

[TheCommissioner]

if they are trying to make SmackDown important again, having guys like that will definitely help

 

[Dr. Evil]

So there will be no bevy of RKO's at the Rumble?

I'd rather the four guys show up in NXT than WWE.
