So who do we think will be Styles match at Mania?

He said he wouldn't be doing the show but I wouldn't be shocked at all if it's Jericho. They're already doing a solid job of building a feud between the two and a final match at Mania could be great.

If Jericho really isn't available I think Owens would be the best option.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

So who do we think will be Styles match at Mania?

Andre the Giant Memorial Batlle Royal, serious answer.

I still think Jericho will face Ambross. If they throw AJ in that mix, I won't complain. I don't think they will though.

 

[Dr. Evil]

The Andre Battle Royal will probably be won by someone we don't care about like Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds or Pig Slow.

 

[OctaviusINC]

I'm calling it that Braun Strowman will win the battle royal.

 

[OnTheAir]

I think they have too much invested in AJ financially to just stick him in the ATG Memorial Battle Royal (which Strowman is absolutely winning). They need star power for the 'Mania card with all of the recent injuries, and AJ's been treated like a pretty big deal so far. I'm guessing he'll be matched up with Owens, or perhaps featured as part of some multi-man match for either the Intercontinental or US belts.

Btw, look who's been called back up to the main roster, and was aligned with Team BAD at a house show in Fresno last night:

 

[nite-owl]

I'd rather Strowman win the battle royal than a match with The Undertaker.

 

[Warhammer]

Yeah, a Strowman vs Undertaker match does nothing for Strowman. If he loses, it'd be stupid. If he wins, no big deal. The allure of beating the Undertaker is finished. And Kane and Undertaker already beat all four of them in a handicap match already.

But Strowman winning the Andre Battle Royal? Very good.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

No, I think that was just their first match. The other matches are on 2 other dvds. I should have all 3 of them in the list.

I'm trying to catch up on classic ROH. Saw Ladder War 3 online and I'm trying to catch all of Joe/Punk 2 and the unified title match. Probably gonna buy the Joe championship collection at some point.

 

[Benstamania]

My hope is Owen's gets the IC title back off of Ambrose at some point and he and AJ feud leading to Manoa where AJ wins.

 

[Benstamania]

Someone on Youtube made a video using the old Raw theme "Across the Nation" using today's WWE Superstars:

That is AWESOME!

 

[TheCommissioner]

thats probably my favorite RAW intro, next to the one they used in the Attitude era with the speed metal

 

[Lead Cenobite]

My hope is Owen's gets the IC title back off of Ambrose at some point and he and AJ feud leading to Manoa where AJ wins.

I'd rather he keep it unless he wins the WHC at Wrestlemania.

 

[Wheels]

Yeah, a Strowman vs Undertaker match does nothing for Strowman. If he loses, it'd be stupid. If he wins, no big deal. The allure of beating the Undertaker is finished. And Kane and Undertaker already beat all four of them in a handicap match already.

But Strowman winning the Andre Battle Royal? Very good.

This makes no sense whatsoever. Strowman beating the Undertaker is absolutely a big deal. Just like beating any huge name would be a big deal, Strowman isn't even remotely established yet. The problem is we haven't seen him do enough as a singles wrestler for people to think he's worthy of matches with Taker or Lesnar. I think WWE is insane for entertaining the idea of putting him in big matches right now, but Strowman beating a massive star and the guy Wyatt and Harper lost to is a big deal.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Green Strowman vs past prime Taker. No thank you.

 

[The Apocalypse]

Green Strowman vs past prime Taker. No thank you.

I'd honestly rather watch a whole episode of Impact than that match. I don't even know what channel it's on anymore too.

 

[KBX]

Im I the only on thinking they are setting up a Lesnar vs Ambrose Wrestlemania match? I haven't heard much talk about it. Isnt it kinda obvious?

Styles vs Owens/Orton/Cesaro would be great

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Lesnar vs Ambrose in a gimmick match would be lots of fun.

 

[Lead Cenobite]

I have a bad feeling it'll involve Brock squashing him most of the time, then Ambrose will get a lucky hit in and maybe Dirty Deeds. Seriously, they need to stop booking most of Lesnar's matches as near-squash matches.

 

[TX85]

I'm betting Ambrose vs Brock at WM will be a LMS since Ambrose keeps talking about always getting back up and never quitting.

 

[Slushy]

We'd be getting Styles Vs. Ziggler at Mania if I was the Booker.

 

[Lobo]

I thought it was going to be Brock vs Bray at Mania? I would much prefer the Ambrose match for Brock. The Phenom vs The Phenomenal one. AJ can bounce around and it would be huge win. I prefer Taker not wrestle.

 

[Wylie Times]

I have a bad feeling it'll involve Brock squashing him most of the time, then Ambrose will get a lucky hit in and maybe Dirty Deeds. Seriously, they need to stop booking most of Lesnar's matches as near-squash matches.

Them booking Lesnar the way they do is what makes him such a huge asset. He's a special attraction that has a ton of credibility. Because he's so dominant it's going to mean that much more when someone does pin him.

What's funny is that when Brock first got back I remember people complaining that he lost too much. As it stands now you can't have Brock losing clean or at all after he broke Takers streak.

 

[Warhammer]

Green Strowman vs past prime Taker. No thank you.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[OctaviusINC]

If they were to do an Ambrose vs. Lesnar it would just be a remake of CM Punk vs. Lesnar at Summerslam from a few years back.

They've made Brock such a beast after beating the streak that there is nobody really worthy of pinning the guy clean. He made Cena, CM Punk, Reigns, and Rollins look like jobbers. Undertaker couldn't even get the job done in their recent feud. They've written themselves into a corner. Nobody seems like a threat to him.

 

[Lobo]

Somebody needs to decisively kick his ass. I vote Wade Barrett
