Why doesn't Xavier wrestle?

 

[The Apocalypse]

I will say though, it's definitely a more interesting choice than the other names being thrown out there for Taker to fight.

 

[Warhammer]

...maybe I'm reading too much into the plot but I wonder if Shane's lockbox and its contents will actually be something they delve into on the RAW after Wrestlemania.

I'll be honest, I am glad it's not Cena.

Have to agree. This is so strange that I have to see how it plays out.

 

[The Apocalypse]

Yeah, it's also as if Taker is playing the heel in all this since no one is going to want him to win. Then, lets say Cena does come back, are people going to cheer for Shane? I can't see people rooting for Cena over Taker though. This has my attention.

 

[Hotwire]

I'm hoping they swerve it going into WM. Maybe Shane gets hurt and someone new(er) takes his spot and gets the win. I'd hate to see Taker job to Shane, even with interference.

 

[SpideyVille]

New Day turning into tweeners is so awesome. And it gives the League of Nations something to do.

Ehh, still don't care about the League.

Have triple H with Steph vs. Roman with Shane for control of the company. That's how you get people to cheer for Roman.

That's exactly what I thought would happen!

Would have been shades of Wrestlemania 2000, the ultimate McMahon battle. Plus, Reigns could have orchestra the destruction of the Authority.

I'm thinking Cena returns too. Hindsight is 20/20 but this does make Undertaker being heelish in his feud with Brock make sense.

I didn't even think of that. But I just can't see Undertaker being looked at as a heel at this point. Good or bad, people are still going to mark out like crazy for him.

If anything, it will make the boos worse with no Ambrose buffer. He ain't getting hot in a month...especially in all the cities the March RAWs will take place in. Belee dat.

Well I never said it would work. LOL

But given how poorly they book most things lately, I wouldn't be surprised if they took that approach, especially since he would be doing nothing on Raw during the weeks when Brock is off.

Why doesn't Xavier wrestle?

I often wonder the same myself, but to be fair, when you have that much Charisma, you don't really need to wrestle.

 

[Hotwire]

Kudos to whoever called Ambrose driving the ambulance back.

 

[The Apocalypse]

Scott Steiner?!

 

[Slushy]

I can't wait to see Shane McMahon Vs. Undertaker.

I'm fu**ing done with Wrestlemania 32!

 

[javonstokess]

So is the whole feud going to be Dean Ambrose getting has @$$ kicked? If so I'm not looking forward to that.

 

[Lead Cenobite]

Yeah, I'm not liking that aspect either. They need to show that Ambrose is capable of holding his own against Lesnar without chairs and low blows. Let him counter a suplex or an F5 at least once and surprise Lesnar with a Dirty Deeds or whatever.

 

[LOBO3315a]

I'd rather watch Dean Ambrose get his ass kicked for 60 minutes by Bork than watch The Nose and Belee Dat wrestle for 5.

Agreed. Ambrose has fought Big Show, Triple H, Randy Orton, Batista, etc...

I know Brock is a beast, but at least give me a reason he "has a shot".

This.

Someone needs to tell Connor that guys really shouldn't wear their pants pulled up past their navel.

They should show Bork come out like a bull, charging and pulling out his big power moves. But he starts getting gassed. And Ambrose starts getting the upper hand the longer the match goes. This way, it's believable.

They aren't going to do it, but that's what they should do.

 

[SuperBatman]

So Vince pretty much wants to kill the Undertaker. I mean can he even compete in a hitc match its true he did it against hhh but that was like 5 years ago.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I'm so happy to see people responding positively to Shane's return. I've always liked Shane McMahon. I enjoyed him as a personality, and as a wrestler he's the best of any of the McMahons, could probably have made an actual go of it if he'd had the inclination to fully dedicate himself to it. And I have missed him since he chose to leave, to the point where not often, but occasionally I did think it'd be cool to see him on WWE TV again. So while I could have understood people rolling their eyes at another McMahon saga, I was very happy to hear of his return.

I also think this is a really interesting story they've set up too. With Shane addressing the problems actually facing the company head-on, blurring the line between reality and drama the way the best storylines do, and proposing that he has the means to right the ship (and maybe end the tired heel authority figure shtick for at least a good long time) is a great way to have people invested in him winning. But to then put him against The Undertaker at WrestleMania is a great twist, as it means that for once we are invested in The Undertaker losing at Mania... unthinkable! And so perhaps it's a good thing the streak is over and it's not totally unthinkable that Shane could win. Off the top of my head, my guess is Undertaker destroys him, but something happens to give him a change of heart at the last gasp, and he lies down and lets Shane pin him for the sake of WWE's future, making the heroic sacrifice before walking off into the sunset.

Kudos to WWE for injecting a compelling story into the mix that feels like a genuine spanner in the works no one saw coming.

Let's go KO ...

Jericho gives AJ any more of a rub, AJ's gonna owe him $50.

I swear, everytime I hear that Social Outcasts music start up I think it's the Hardy Boys.

I swear, everytime I hear that Social Outcasts music start up I think it's the Hardy Boys.

Every time I come out I have no idea who it is until they appear on stage.

I knew it sounded familiar.
