The Wrestling Thread is an Interesting Creature.

Don't know how I feel about this

Indie wrestlers Roderick Strong and Kevin Steen are confirmed for the next WWE NXT tryout camp at the Performance Center from March 24th until March 26th. Michael Elgin was also trying to get in on the camp but there's no word yet if he will be there.

I wish all of them the best of luck. Though I'm concerned for the potential loss for Ring of Honor.

ROH will be fine with the New Japan deal.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

NJPW deal is only for two shows. Though, I hope it's more consistent.

 

[cabel]

And ROH wouldn't want to be dependent on bringing in outside talent.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Steen is probably "too fat" by WWE Standards and Strong probably too short.

 

[Team Andino]

Punk's time to main event WM was last year and they completely screwed him over and gave him no direction. Even Punk himself said that this is Bryan's year.

Punk should of faced and defeated Hunter at WM28, thus culminating their feud when Hunter first became COO. Punk should of walked into WM29 as WWE Champion and battled and lost to Cena, those two finally getting their WM match that their feud deserves. Unfortunately as of this moment this year will be the year Bryan should of been in the title match and have his Mania moment.

In theory, I dont think it ever hurts to have atleast one resident "Fat" wrestler.

 

[NDX]

Bless you Heath for doing your J-O-B.

I was thinking Strong probably had the best shot because of his good looks, though I've never really enjoyed his mic skills.

While Steen pales in comparison to Ambrose or Punk on the mic, he's a pretty good talker, and is very athletic and can do a lot of stuff you wouldn't expect from a person of his body type.

Elgin will probably get hit with the "You must be this tall to draw" sign.

You mean like Big E? Oh wait..

Point taken.

I have my doubts about Punk returning on Monday. With the refunds and pulling dates, I have my suspicion unless Vince is so desperate Punk demanded a "Rock/Brock" schedule to come back and gives it to him.

CM Punk has probably figured out that the only way he's ever going to get his WrestleMania main event title win is if he goes away for a couple of years then comes back as an overpaid, under-motivated part-timer.

Sad but true, makes me think back to his promo with Vince back in 2011. "I care too much, and you care too little."

Only a matter of time before DC, Marvel, or some big studio starts knocking on his door.

What makes me really sad is that, a year ago, I talked about my dream WrestleMania 30 main event being Daniel Bryan VS CM Punk for the unified WWE World Heavyweight Title, and at the time it seemed like an impossible dream. But over the course of the year that followed, WWE started booking things in a way that it seemed tantalisingly possible... and then CM Punk's booking just completely stalled and he fell out of the picture, but Daniel Bryan was still right there in the frame to the point where it required ridiculous booking handstands NOT to have him in that slot. And yet WWE somehow managed to pull it off. It would have actually better if Bryan was just never in the position to main event WrestleMania, rather than being perfectly primed for it and having the spot stolen from him.

 

[cabel]

It seems the Networks VOD issues are improving. Watching the first Starrcade.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I can't be the only one who want this shirt right??

 

[Van Petrol]

Brazzers already has.

Well, Vince and Triple H don't give a crap about Bryan at all. The Royal Rumble was proof of that. Bryan didn't have to win the Rumble, at least be in it. The fact that he wasn't in it shows how much the Crazed Maniac and the King of Burials cares for Daniel Bryan.

Triple H is right now ordering his usual gold plated shovels, this time for Bryan.

 

[cabel]

Brazzers already has.

Preferably with AJ

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Brazzers already has.

Are AJ and Scarlett Boredeaux available?

 

[Dr. Evil]

And Bryan wasn't even in the Rumble all because the 15th billed actor in Avengers 3 came back.

It's aggravating that they simultaneously hate Bryan and don't want him as their top guy, but also recognise he's their big draw and so dragged out the "maybe he'll end up in the Mania main event! keep watching!" card as long as they could.

Man, I'll say that forever and ever. So true. They could've rode the wave from the pipebomb into Wrestlemania instead of it somehow turning into a pointless, stupid Nash/HHH and Rock/Cena vs Awesome Truth matches.

The writing was perfectly clear since the ending of Summerslam that Mania should be Bryan's moment of victory.

All to please Dave "15th Billing in the Avengers 3 lineup" Batista.
