The Wrestling Thread Is Under...Siege! - - Part 248

Well doesn't she have a year to cash in her briefcase?

She has until June.

If the WWE is set on having Charlotte vs. Rousey for the SD Live Women's Championship, no way does Carmella cash in.

Also the rumors of Rousey and the Rock vs. Triple H and Stephanie, which is a stupid rumor since The Rock doesn't need to be wrestling again.

 

[javonstokess]

Honestly, if WWE can get Rey Mysterio & the Hurricane on 205 live (along with convincing Neville to come back) they might have something going there.

I think that throwing Ronda into a title match so soon would be a mistake. She's new at this, give her some time to develop at least.

 

[Dr. Evil]

So before Royal Rumble: "the WWE Sucks these days. I wish they would die."

Today: "The WWE actually had a great PPV? Did hell freeze over? Wait what? One of Vince's favorites did not win the Men's Royal Rumble? It was Nakamura? A guy that the people love that Vince probably does not? Roman did not win? I thought he was the chosen one?"

Her and a partner vs. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon might be a better option.

Dudley Boyz announced for WWE Hall of Fame.

Yes, we dont even know how good she is in the ring.
I assume we get Nia Jax vs Alexa and Charlotte vs Asuka for WM.
Ronda will have either a singles match against stephanie or a tag team match.

I dont think at the moment for one second that they give Rousey a title this early.
But who the hell knows, its the wwe afterall.

Lets see what Ronda can do, then we can talk about a title imo.

 

[honestbharani]

If not The Rock, who can get in a program with the power couple and Ronda though?

Batista because he has a major movie coming up a month later.

 

[famicommander]

This just proves what a stupid joke NXT is. Someone who is completely new to wrestling is walking onto the main roster for a match at Wrestlemania while Roderick Strong toils away in front of 400 marks at Full Sail.

Developmental, my ass.

This completely undoes all the progress the women's division has made these last few years. A gigantic middle finger to the whole female roster.

That could be interesting. Always liked his interactions with the Rock. I kind of knew that was going to happen when he came back for Raw 25.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I see what you're saying, but did anyone honestly believe Rousey would go into developmental? She's too big an attraction to not use. I also would prefer they don't thrust her into a title match so soon. Build her skills up before doing that.

Probably why a mixed tag match with her and The Rock vs. Triple H and Stephanie has been rumored. But I doubt that her partner is going to be the Rock, because of his highly busy schedule. The Rock is basically an unofficial WWE Ambassador these days as he's not a WWE Superstar anymore. Basically he can come in anytime he wants to whenever he has an open date, which doesn't seem like he has anymore. I think that he is able to keep up with the WWE product through his mother and daughter as well as Cousin Nia Jax. I would pick Batista as her partner due to the fact that he's going to be in Avengers: Infinity War a month later. Plus it gets a chance for Batista to work with Triple H again, which is what he said he has wanted.

 

[Broseph44]

I’m very pumped and excited for Ronda, hoping they don’t thrust her straight into things like we are saying. Give her some time.

It's why I think the Mixed Tag Match she is rumored to be a part of is likely because of that, it's too soon for her and Asuka and also Carmella has the Money in the Bank briefcase, which means that sooner or later she's going to have to cash in and if you have Ronda vs. Charlotte for Mania, she would be unable to cash in, especially if Asuka and Ronda have long title reigns.

Would Carmella vs. Charlotte be a sloppy mess? Probably, but she would get a chance to cash in the briefcase at Mania.

The Rock also has the issue of not being in "ring shape." I think Ronda needs to be in there with someone that can carry the bulk of the match (getting trashed by Triple H or whoever) and then she gets the tag, crushes everyone and wins. I think that is the best thing to do with her right now until she starts getting those ring skills.

The question is that who could that be? I cannot think of anybody right now.

John Cena maybe? Needs to be someone with star power as well.

 

[Dr. Evil]

It would be better than him vs. Taker, and I do think Cena would actually give a damn to make Ronda look good. When Cena cares, he's damn good in the ring and on the mic. When he doesn't well, he doesn't. Totally opposite from Orton.

 

[chamber-music]

Gargano vs. Ciampa will be great.

Ciampa is going to stiff the hell life the life out of Johnny

I just finished watching the last Star Trek episode. This must be a mirror universe where the WWE booking is better.

Perhaps Vince might be distracted by his XFL relaunch and someone win good booking ideas got to call the shots

Brock just legit punched Braun in the face and screamed at him to slow the f down.

Braun legit kneed Brock in the head. It looked like Brock got mad and punched Braun in retaliation.

Steph is contributing nothing to commentary

Steph sucked on commentary.

Renee Young did a better job putting over the talent on commentary when she was doing it on NXT

It should be Ronda vs. Charlotte. Ronda is still new to the business, and will need someone to carry the workload during the match. Alexa can't do that.

Yep. They also already have the inbuilt four horsewomen rivalry that has been teased over the last couple years.

So the Hurricane for GM of 205 Live?

I could see The Hurricane or Mysterio as GM or on that roster.

Mysterio might help draw the show some ratings.

I want Hideo Itami as the new Cruiserweight Champ. I feel bad for the guy as his career trajectory went on a downward spiral compared to the Japanese talent that followed him (Nakamura, Auska & Sane)

From NJPW to WWE/NXT. I thought the whole weekend was great for wrestling.

Does that mean Booker is finally gone, or are they making Corey Graves a 1 show announcer now?

 

[WereCoyote]

If they wanted someone that makes sense to be in a mixed tag with Rousey, they missed a golden opportunity last night. Take the title off Brock, give it to Braun. Put Brock/Rousey the MMA stars vs. HHH/Steph. Then you get Heyman promos to get Brock and Rousey over. Also you get another Braun/Roman match for the title this time.
