The Wrestling Thread Damn Sure Doesn't Work For You!

It's only a matter of time...

I've seen that pic a few times. Looks like a champ right there.

I've said before Jericho would be an excellent opponent for him.

That would be cool.

If Rock were game, he'd be a good option as well. Either way Orton needs someone to come in to work with.

No. No. No. Rock was terrible when he came back.

Lesnar will obviously work with Taker, Bryan and Orton have good matches but faced each other on three straight PPVS and Orton has faced Punk and Triple H at previous manias that honestly don't need sequels. An Orton/Cena main event should not be considered under any circumstances.

When was the last time Punk feuded with Orton? Nexus? Punk was getting squashed repeatedly by Orton on a daily basis, and that was before Punk became a top guy in WWE.

EDIT:
It would be a crying shame if AmDrag didn't get redemption for being screwed over. I still hold out hope that this lower spotlight is to make Orton look credible since he's lost or come close to losing to AmDrag too many times.

 

[Lobo]

I know Brock is earmarked for Taker but I wouldn't mind Randy vs Taker. He is the odd man out which is why I could see a potential fatal four way of Punk vs Cena vs Bryan vs Orton. Though, I prefer traditional one on ones for Mania main events.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

AmDrag will get redemption out of this angle and Orton will be given something too considering how terrible both looked from September all the way to Hell In A Cell.

The Rock has like 100 movies coming up, no way he's coming back to the WWE.

Good. I hope he never gets back in the ring.

 

[Trainwreck2100]

Good. I hope he never gets back in the ring.

his final gift to us was killing the spinner belt

It pisses me off they'd waste Goldberg's return match on an inferior version of himself instead of facing well...anybody else.

When was the last time Punk feuded with Orton? Nexus? Punk was getting squashed repeatedly by Orton on a daily basis, and that was before Punk became a top guy in WWE.

He finally defeated Orton on the final RAW before MITB this year IIRC. I want the rumored Punk Vs. Orton WWE title match at WrestleMania to come true.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I would be so underwhelmed if Punk faces Orton at Mania.

 

[NDX]

Current Orton vs current Punk is a match I wouldn't mind seeing for the WWE title. But I don't think it's a match I'd care to see headline WM.

Agreed. If it were for a PPV like TLC or the Royal Rumble go for it, but Mania? Well, let's just say #NOBUYS

 

[sweetre15]

Blanchard was always an underrated talker and Flair? For me, best heel of all time.

Dude, I could sit down and watch Tully Blanchard promos alone for hours without getting bored and anytime he got together with JJ Dillion it was funny as hell. Like during his feud with Ron Garvin.

 

[Lobo]

I'm about to go to bed, but how would you guys feel if it was Orton vs RVD at Mania? I think Rob could be a good opponent for Randy.

Also

I think RVD and Orton would be a good Mania match. Oh and YES TO AMBROSE AS CHAMP. If he continues to look as strong as I think he will after The Shield is disbanded, I can see him being a top heel WWE Champion in a year or two.

Are we talking about the IC title? Because that's all that match is worth. Actually, not even the IC title. Bring back the European title just for that match, that title means nothing, like that match would mean nothing.

RVD needs to stay home. He's been over the hill since before TNA. Now he's just sad to watch, considering what he was once capable of. It was like watching Jerry Lynn's last days in ROH. Good for nostalgia, bad for match quality.

Ambrose will definitely be sporting the WWE Title one day, but I honestly think Reigns will be the first to reach that plateau from the group. I think Rollins will take the longest, but he will eventually reach main event status.

Looking at how RAW ended, it was an indy darling cluster****, and it was glorious. From the people there, you have 2 former WHC/WWE champs in Punk and Bryan, future champs in the Shield and hopefully Cody, a veteran who shows up most of the young guns in Goldust, three potential standouts in the Wyatts with Harper being the best of the 3 (and WWE sees it), and an underrated tag team in the Usos that will one day get their due.

Damn, even with the ****** storylines, it's still good being a wrestling fan because the matches have been quality.

Just had to point out, watching Spike TV for Bar Rescue and I've seen a commercial for WWE14 and nothing for TNA yet. Hell, Bellator got 2 commercials so far. Granted, there are 20 minutes left in the show, but come on now. WWE14 gets a commercial but your own wrestling product doesn't?

 

[Slushy]

I don't know what people want for WrestleMania 30's main event. Every match that has been reportedly pitched has gotten hate or disinterest from almost everybody in this thread. If Cena or Helmsley aren't in the final match, I'd be happy with that. : /

I think RVD and Orton would be a good Mania match. Oh and YES TO AMBROSE AS CHAMP. If he continues to look as strong as I think he will after The Shield is disbanded, I can see him being a top heel WWE Champion in a year or two.

Agreed. He needs to be world champion before Reigns.

 

[Darkness Falls]

personally i'd want punk vs bryan in the main event of wrestlemania for the title but we all know that won't happen

 

[Wheels]

personally i'd want punk vs bryan in the main event of wrestlemania for the title but we all know that won't happen

I'd be fine with:

Punk vs Cena
Punk vs Bryan
Punk vs Cena vs Bryan
Punk vs Lesnar II
Bryan vs Triple H
Cena vs Undertaker

I'd rather not see Punk vs Orton but it's better than Cena vs Orton.

 

[Lobo]

I want Cena vs Punk to headline.

 

[SpideyFan866]

I want Cena vs Punk to headline.

So do I.

And like I said before, if it doesn't happen, it would defeat the purpose of keeping them apart for an entire year. Seeing since, ya know, that was the whole point: for them to face each other at WMXXX, and to keep the feud fresh until then.

 

[Lobo]

Agreed. I'm good with:

Cena vs Punk
Bryan vs Triple H
Taker vs Lesnar

Which leaves us with the question of where does Orton fit in? He's been great this year and deserves a big match, but against who? Ziggler? Big E? Rey Mysterio (should he be ready), RVD?

 

[SpideyFan866]

I think as far as Orton goes, I'd revisit Orton vs. Bryan for Mania, with Hunter and Steph still in Orton's corner, and Vince in Bryan's corner.

That match could be for the WWE title (with Bryan gettng a lengthy reign afterwards), and Cena/Punk could be for the WHC and close the show.


This would give Orton, Bryan, Cena, and Punk something to do,.as well as raise the prestige of the WHC, as it would elevated by the match itself as well as closing the show (Cena is involved, so this woud be likely).

 

[Wheels]

Cena vs Orton is the worst case scenario because their feuds were mediocre. They didn't live up to the hype at all.

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

orton vs bryan with bryan winning wwe title

cena vs punk with punk winning whc

bryan then challenges punk to unification match to close the show with everybody winning

 

[SpideyFan866]

Cena vs Orton is the worst case scenario because their feuds were mediocre. They didn't live up to the hype at all.

Agreed.

The only match he should a part of is against Bryan.

Orton vs. CM Punk or Cena would be a massive disappointment. Not just because its not an interesting or particularly good matchup, but because its not a match worthy of Mania XXX.

Whatever match they have needs to match the scope of the event itself.
