Ambrose vs Lesnar should main event Survivor Series or be the title match at Royal Rumble at the very least. WrestleMania 31 is a pipe dream scenario for Ambrose vs Lesnar.

 

[JabarR]

TNA's gotten pretty entertaining for me. Tonight I got to watch Tajiri, Rhino, the Dudleys, and Hardys. Never thought that would happen again.

What about the Knockouts?

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

They don't look that great......

 

[Dr. Evil]

So what happened with HR?

True that' but DAYUM I'd love to see Ambrose/Lesnar!!!

That'd be a great idea actually...at some point the Authority—Rollins in particular—should want to annihilate Ambrose more than anything. Ambrose has to come back and **** their **** up to the point where the ONLY idea they have is...


Let's give him a title shot ....

 

[Karelia]

Rumors of Bray vs Dolph for the IC belt have been popping up. I would much rather see that at NoC than Miz vs Ziggler... Especially since I'll be in the crowd.

Was also glad to hear they announced Reigns vs Rollins for NoC instead of Reigns vs Orton... I'm sorry, Orton has been boring to me for awhile now. Same with Sheamus. Although I think Cesaro vs Sheamus could be a very awesome brawl match.

 

[Lobo]

I currently see more money in Ambrose than Reigns right now.

Reigns is still too limited on his own. He needs more time to refine his in ring skills to match his charisma.

Ambrose has the right balance needed right now. He should be Reigns' spot.

Ambrose vs Lesnar should main event Survivor Series or be the title match at Royal Rumble at the very least. WrestleMania 31 is a pipe dream scenario for Ambrose vs Lesnar.

I'm Reigns biggest fan and I agree completely with all of this. With Bryan out, Cena hurt/winding down the best option by far IMO is Ambrose. Which, still surprises me to see him as one of the top faces, when I figured he was destined for the top heel spot.

3 things WWE should take from UFC and MMA companies:

1. More UFC type video packages that show the training and personal lives of the wrestlers going into their matches unless they are the "supernatural types".

2. Let different titles headline different PPVs. Like let the IC title, World title, US title, and Tag team titles headline different shows as opposed to them being all defended on every PPV. The benefits of this is that it would force their hands in building up the belts and the holders of the belts in bigger and more effective ways alongside giving certain wrestlers enough time off to recharge.

3. Keep the title picture storylines a bit more simple

While some may argue that more soap opera elements might make Something feel more "compelling", the more "you got this belt and I want it" type angles have a more "big fight atmosphere" because it shows how important the belts are to the respective wrestlers

The one exception to the rule regarding the title defenses would be to have them ALL get defended at PPVs like Summerslam and Wrestlemania which are the biggest PPVs of the year. Biggest PPVs = Most stacked cards in terms of name value is an ideal formula because it makes it feel more special.

Come to think of it, Ambrose makes for a very unique face with his crazy character. Crazy heels are fun, but we've seen loads of those - even now we have Bray Wyatt who is pretty demented. Deranged faces, not so much. At least not in such a high position.

- It was reported last week that Daniel Bryan will not need another surgery and they were expecting him to return in around three months. It was also noted that Bryan could be back sooner than three months.

- We noted a few months ago that there was talk of WWE NXT star Corey Graves having his in-ring career ended due to a second concussion. It was also revealed that Graves had been helping with production at NXT live events. He is still helping at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando but is not allowed to do any wrestling right now.

- Regarding Olympic wrestler Chas Betts making his in-ring debut for NXT at last weekend's live events in Florida, he was said to be very impressive. When Betts had his tryout about a year ago, it was noted that he had the best tryout of any non-indie wrestler WWE has ever brought in. His new NXT ring name, Chad Gable, is based on retired Olympic wrestler & coach Dan Gable.

- It's said to be pretty much a lock that Spike TV and TNA will part ways when their current deal runs out at the end of this year. While it's being said publicly that both sides are still in negotiations, the talks with Spike over a new deal ended several days before TMZ originally broke the news a few months ago. We noted that Spike was trying to be a good partner for TNA and give them until the end of the year.

While there's been talk of TNA going with Velocity or WGN, they are reportedly in talks with at least two other channels. These two could be more significant than either WGN or Velocity and one network TNA is talking to is stronger than Spike TV but doesn't have the matching demographics. Regarding a deal with WGN, if it were made, it would include pre-emptions for TNA PROGRAMMING.

 

[PyroChamber]

I've never heard of Velocity.

Baron Corbin's current look:

Baron seems like he'll be a complete badass judging from his new look AND his promo vignette that played on the NXT Takeover preview today.

 

[Slushy]

Updated the condolences. Goldberg said he would try to tell some SOH stories on Who's Next.

Plus Ambrose's antics could confuse Brock. And it would give him someone different to wrestle than a power guy, which is what Cena, Reigns, and Show are.

One of the reasons CM Punk/Lesnar was awesome is the clash of the styles. Power versus technical. Punk using his wits and skill to overcome Brock. The other three challengers are just more of the same, which is dumb. Brock is a powerhouse, a brawler, technical wrestler who's has the speed of someone nearly half his size. They should use that.

 

[chamber-music]

I actually think Brock vs Ambrose would be pretty fun. I could see Brock suplexing the hell out of Ambrose only for Ambrose to get up and say "is that all you got" with some crazy grin on his face. Ambrose would probably get the life beaten out of him but it would be fun to watch.

Ambrose could really sell the match cutting a promo saying Brock has never faced someone as crazy and unpredictable as me.

 

[Lobo]

Ambrose and Heyman would be glorious on the mic, too.

 

[Herolee10]

If anything, these are the guys that i want to see being pushed in the spotlight within a year from now (from he main roster):

1. Daniel Bryan

2. Dolph Ziggler

3. Dean Ambros.e (Seriously, the three above could form their own stable and call it triple D.lol)

4. Roman Reigns

5. Bad News Barrett

6. Seth Rollins

7. Bray Wyatt

8. Cesaro

It would certainly be more fun than seeing him face Big Show for the hundredth time. I'm a fan of Big Show , but that's been played out.

Due to how many wrestlers could, and maybe even SHOULD, occupy that main event, I'd just do the first ever WrestleMania Elimination Chamber. Or at the very least, a Six-Man Hell in a Cell.

Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, and Daniel Bryan would be the participants.

I'd prefer Wrestlemania to always be 1 on 1 honestly. I didn't even like it being triple-threat this year.

Myself, I would prefer it if they save the multi-man gimmick-based title matches for the non-core PPVs (as opposed to WM, the Rumble and SS). The commentators always talk about "big fight feel"; notice they never use that term when building up to multi-man matches, so on some level even the jabronis who book the WWE know the limitations of gimmicky matches.

That stated, a Wrestlemania EC or other kind of multi-man match for a #1 contenders spot at the following PPV would be pretty cool.
