Get that camera out of Taker's face!

 

[The Sage]

Yep. For instance I would fawn all over Lita, AJ, and Mickie and not pay much attention to the three women discussed previously if they were all in the same room.

I would too. Especially if you throw Layla in there.

Well, you didn't say anything about those 3 being in the same room. I'm with you there AntMan! Especially AJ!

Taker wins, but gets beaten down.

I watched SD and Impact tonight, well a version of SD that was edited down to just the 4 main matches, but I'll post something on the shows later.

I just wanted to post this while it's fresh in my mind, the end of SD was everything right about how an aging legend should use his power and status. The end on TNA was the complete opposite.

It's irrelevant that Ambrose lost, Taker shared that ring with him like an equal, they went toe to toe and Taker had to pull out a quick submission as Ambrose got cocky. Then post match The Shield destroyed the most unstoppable wrestler of the last 20 years and he took that powerbomb through a table HARD, no soft placement bulls**t.

In the space of one week and 2 shows Taker has elevated The Shield, their stock is even higher because he treat them with respect, he shared the ring like they were his equals with (the fact he can still go flat out being a bonus), and then he let them get over on him by them showing him no fear and destroying him.

On TNA Bully Ray looked like a fool running away from a geriatric Hogan after the phoniest punch exchange you'll see this side of a Shane McMahon segment. Then 2 guys with a combined age of nearly 120 cleared off a biker gang of 10 guys who had quite easily kicked the assess of the rosters younger members.....embarrassing.

They killed the Announce Table on Prime Time!!!!

 

[Van Petrol]

It amazed me just how much Taker was able to go (including the bumps and spots he's taken) during this short return run. I was fully expecting him to play it as safe as possible and keep limited.


I'm getting the sinking feeling though that Helmsley is going to be the one to eventually end the Shield once he's done with Brock.

 

[Lobo]

While I was never a huge fan, my respect for Taker continues to grow. He really is one of the greatest of all time.

Bite your tongue, sir.

Taker has done more to help the current talent in two weeks than the Rock, Cena or Triple H has.

I have a feeling that Taker's mentality is "Go hard or go home" when it comes to the ring.

I think the Shield is going to get involved in the Steel Cage match with Brock/HHH, giving HHH an out on the loss so he won't do a clean job.

Eventually I think it will take a Superteam to beat the Shield.

Undertaker is really helping these guys, and he looks better than he did last year. The Shield is being booked brilliantly. Ir's like there is a second booking team that are in charge of The Shield.

 

[Van Petrol]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, IF they decide to go the route of having one guy be the one to end them, then it has to be Brock Lesnar. He's the only guy who I could acceptably see as being a one man army strong and able enough to take them apart.

This isn't to say that going this route is what I want to see, just thinking out loud. Having a Superteam be the ones to eventually beat them, like Sage mentioned, would be the way to go.

To bad they can't do the same for the likes of Bryan, Cesaro, Barrett, etc.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Keep The Shield undefeated until Survivor Series.

Main Event: War Games

Brock Lesnar and The Shield vs John Cena, CM Punk, Kane & The Undertaker

That's when they finally lose.

That would be amazing.

Now that would be a Super-Team. But I can't imagine it stretching out that long. What if that's the match for Summerslam?

The WWE creative team has three writers who wear black T-shirts every day. They get into the office by climbing through the windows, do their scripts for the day, then leave as a group.

 

[SpideyVille]

I heard talk about there being a fourth member later week. Any more word on that?

If they went this route, I'd be willing to bet Helmsley will insert himself into it.

 

[Van Petrol]

Question I posted earlier...

So what does everyone think will happen to AJ once they (probably) split her and Dolph up? Let her go solo in the Divas divison, or possibly attach her to someone else?

What do you guys think?..

 

[The Sage]

I heard the same. Someone from NXT?

If they went this route, I'd be willing to bet Helmsley will insert himself into it.

I agree, though this is an instance where it would make sense if Triple H is one of the victims.

 

[Lobo]

I say she goes solo in the divas division

Well they've already made an attempt to take him out. Factor in the aiding he and the NAO gave to Taker after SD (albeit of the air), and them possibly interfering in his match at Extreme Rules, like you mentioned (and which I also think is a real possibility). There's a good chance it could happen, imo.
