The Wrestling Thread Is The Wrestling Thread 365 Days A Year! - Part 249

[Dr. Evil]

They've done a great job of slow burning the Bayley/Sasha feud. If they had Sasha betray Bayley in anything other than every woman for herself matches, tonight's confrontation wouldn't have worked.

I like the slow burn for this thing.

Well now we know why Coachman left ESPN.

 

[Doug_Moore]

If WWE wants to be consistent, Coachman needs to be suspended. This is a serious accusation.

Time for Jon Bravo to crap or get off the pot. Lesnar has already failed drug tests from USADA. So that's not all that surprising. But he keeps barking and not biting. Where's the evidence and facts he promised?

I'm getting tired of waiting myself. Wouldn't it be hilarious if McMahon had no choice, but to suspend both guys in his main event? X D

UPDATE:

Brock worked a match in under a minute, which was a company directive.

So Ronda and Angle beat HHH and Steph at Mania, right?! I know Hunter's ego is ridiculous, but he won't have Ronda lose at Mania, surely?!

No. Even for all his past ego trips, he's really been about elevating new talent lately. He's also done more than a fair share of jobs. Kurt and Ronda go over for sure. Kurt may be "fired" the next night but, he's getting his moment. I'd wager this has been the plan since he came back.

The Finish for the match has to be HHH/Steph simultaneously tapping to the the Ankle lock/armbar. That's the mania moment.

His record at WM is not great, so Ronda goes over.

They've given up on getting Reigns cheered, so now they want to get Lesnar booed instead.

 

[Mani-Man]

They've given up on getting Reigns cheered, so now they want to get Lesnar booed instead.

Which at this point is more likely to happen than Reigns getting cheered on...so why not.
By now they are just happy when Reigns isnt the one who get the most boos in the night...which is already crazy considering he is supposed to be the babyface of the company after Cena.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Does anyone think that when he retires, that the Miz goes to Hollywood full time?

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

I don't think about these things.

 

[X Knight]

what happened to Coachman?

and in this Reigns/Lesnar "feud," I'm actually with Reigns, even though I'm normally lukewarm to him.

I just want the title off of Lesnar. I'm tired of part-time absentee champs who take the championship opportunity away from the full-time roster.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Coachman has been accused of Sexual harassment when he was at ESPN.

 

[X Knight]

^ah, thanks.

I've enjoyed Reigns promo over the last two weeks.

 

[Broseph44]

I've enjoyed Reigns promo over the last two weeks.

It’s such a forced attempt at trying to get him over with the fans. Making him look all righteous calling Brock a ***** and calling him out for never being around etc. Trying to take things that bother fans and having Roman be the voice of reason to try and get us to side with him. Vince will stop at nothing to keep trying to shove this guy down our throats. It’s nauseating and this is gonna be the 4th year in a row now. At least this Mania again I know after the AJ and Nakamura match I can go to sleep early.

 

[WereCoyote]

I got excited when Heyman came out with the title. I thought he was going to say Brock had quit and was relinquishing the belt haha. Thought we might be getting out of this horrible WM ME.

 

[javonstokess]

It's kinda weird that Sasha is supposed to be the heel in her feud with Bayley. I mean, it's the height of "WWE logic".

Bayley's mad at Sasha for trying to win "every wrestler for them self" matches?

Just weird...

 

[TheVileOne]

It doesn't seem like there's a real heel or face here. Seems like WWE doesn't want to commit to turning either one.

They gonna smash?

 

[_Superman_]

They gonna smash?

The hell they are.

 

[Hotwire]

They gonna smash?

Ever see the picture of the hamster trying to eat the banana?

 

[Pink Ranger]

They gonna smash?

I think that counts. Strowman is now pregnant.

Explains his mood as of late.
