The Wrestling Threads Not Tapping, It's Spanking AJ (The Wrestling Thread wishes)

[Pink Ranger]

Maybe Cena, Orton, Punk and Bryan in a tournament-style match to unify the major titles at WM.

I think the buyrates for that will be very high.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

I'd pay for that.

 

[The Chris]

Sounds like what happened at vengeance 2001 between rock, Austin, Jericho and angle. Anything sounds better than cena and Orton again.

 

[SuperBatman]

Nobody wants to see Orton vs. cena again except maybe 13 year old cena fans. But Seriously why do people think that match will happen not till WM they already seem to be teasing it for TLC. I hope Vince actually takes the plugs out of his ears and listen to how over Bryan still is but no all he cares about is his precious John Cena.

 

[ssj wolverine]

If people are going to continue to buy whatever crap Vince gives them, then honestly it gives Vince and the Nose license to put out garbage time and time again. It is like they gave up on Survivor Series. Too bad. There was a time when I was growing up that Survivor Series was something to look forward to. So I guess it is just WM, Royal Rumble, and SummerSlam as the PPVs that only matter.

Apparently, the E have been planning this for a while. The reason for the focus on Cena and Orton is because they basically see the two as the most dominant champions of the past 10 years (Cena: 14 reigns, Orton: 11 reigns). However, other possible scenarios I've heard about are Punk or Bryan winning the Rumble and being inserted into the program, making a triple threat winner take all match at Mania. Another is with Punk and Bryan both winning/eliminating each other in the Rumble a la Bret/Lex style, resulting in a tournament style scenario at Mania, with Cena/Orton facing off for the undisputed championship, and the winner of a Punk/Bryan bout facing the undisputed champion in the main event.

That's actually way better than my idea (which was Orton/Bryan for the WWE title, Cena/Punk for the World title, and then the unification match).

Your suggested arrangement hits more important targets: the WWE establishment gets to promote Cena/Orton as a WM match, and family-market Cena fans in the audience can buy into that, while the smarky fans will get their Punk/Bryan match, plus a virtual guarantee that one of their favorites will be in the ultimate main event match. Notwithstanding the outcome, everybody gets what they want. Good idea.

Yeah, I actually really like that idea, though I can't take credit for it, as I'm only relaying what I've heard.

so I take it I didn't really miss much by not watching SS last night??

I'm in love with this idea.

Its an ideal way to settle everything.

Though, the better way to do it would be Punk vs. Cena, and Orton vs. Bryan, with the winner of each (Bryan and Punk) facing each other in a winner take all match.

That way, you could wrap up the. Orton/Bryan storyline, as well as finally have Cena vs. Punk, and Punk vs. Bryan, at Wrestlemania.

WWE Studios and Blumhouse Productions announced today a partnership on Incarnate, the micro-budget thriller from Blumhouse directed by Brad Peyton (Journey 2: The Mysterious Island), scripted by Ronnie Christensen (Dark Tide) and starring Aaron Eckhart. Wrestler Mark Henry has also been cast in a cameo role.

Incarnate stars Aaron Eckhart as an unconventional exorcist who taps into the subconscious of a nine-year old boy played by David Mazouz who is possessed by a powerful, ancient demon. The film is currently shooting.

"WWE Studios is thrilled to partner again with Blumhouse on 'Incarnate,'" said Michael Luisi, President of WWE Studios.

Jason Blum said: "WWE has a tremendous brand and we are excited to work with them on 'Incarnate.'"

Jason Blum (Paranormal Activity, Insidious) is producing the film for Blumhouse which is co-financing the production with IM Global. Michael Luisi, WWE Studios President, is Executive Producing alongside Couper Samuelson, Michael Seitzman, Trevor Engelson, Stuart Ford and Charles Layton. Universal Pictures will distribute the film in the U.S. and Blumhouse International is overseeing foreign rights.

I hope Vince actually takes the plugs out of his ears and listen to how over Bryan still is but no all he cares about is his precious John Cena.

Does anyone have an accurate count of Cena-Orton matches over the years, not counting house shows? I think I remember a site in 2010 or 2011 citing 20+ matches between the two on PPV/TV over the years. I'm not sure if that counted triple threats and the like, but the list of their matches rivaled Dusty-Flair in terms of how often it had been done.

If you go purely off numbers then I can see WWE's thinking, but they ignore the fact that Batista was really the other dominant post-attitude era Champion, and that Cena vs Orton has never been what they intended it to be.

Not sure the 3 separate matches will happen given how they already struggle to get everyone crammed on the card as it is, but I hope they go that route. One stumbling block is the EC in February as fans will wonder why Bryan vs Punk isn't settled there so one can go on to Mania to face one of the champs.

I agree, but Batista isn't around anymore, and you ain't going to change Vinny Mac's mind if it's set on that.

I agree, these are just possible scenarios and 'what if's', when the rumours started making the headlines the biggest 'what about' criteria seemed to be what was going to happen to the Rumble winner.

Tbh, at this point in time they have opened a can of worms that they could go in different directions with if they change their minds and don't want to unify the belts in the end. They haven't specifically used the term 'unification', so they could just as well turn it into a bragging rights match, or one where the winner would just hold both titles for a while in an attempt to help give the WHC some cred back.

 

[DX]

So, because the idea of Cena/Orton part 192877368474464 at Mania makes me want to projectile vomit, I decided to do some fantasy booking and create my own Mania 30 card:

WWE/WHC Unification Triple Threat Match
John Cena vs CM Punk vs Daniel Bryan

No Holds Barred
Brock Lesnar vs Undertaker

Randy Orton vs Chris Jericho

Street Fight for Control of WWE
Triple H vs Vince McMahon

14-Man Tag: Team Big Show vs Team Authority
Big Show/Sheamus/Rey/Kofi/R-Truth/RVD/Henry vs Kane/Del Rio/Ryback/Cesaro/Swagger/Barrett/Sandow

US Title Triple Threat Match
Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins vs Roman Reigns

Cody Rhodes vs Goldust

Tag Title Match
Wyatt Family vs Dolph Ziggler/Christian

IC Title Match
Big E Langston vs The Miz

Divas Title Lumberjill match
AJ Lee vs Natalya

 

[venom892]

I'd be down for a mini tournament, anything that avoids an Orton/Cena main event. Also I hope WWE isn't foolish enough not to have Bryan and Punk as the final two in the rumble. They should be and have an epic back and forth like Taker and Shawn did back in 07.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Yes, the final two in the Rumble Match should definitely be Punk and Bryan.

Speculation is that WWE did the face-off between World Heavyweight Champion John Cena and WWE Champion Randy Orton at the end of last night's Survivor Series pay-per-view to build to a WrestleMania XXX match between the two. This is not confirmed yet but Cena vs. Orton is not expected to take place at TLC or the Royal Rumble.

It was reported via F4Wonline.com last month that Cena and Orton were expected to remain champions at least through Elimination Chamber and would be portrayed as equals. Furthermore, PWInsider reported last month that there had been at least some talk within WWE of doing a WWE Title vs. World Heavyweight Title match at WrestleMania XXX.

-- Former WWE creative team member Alex Greenfield recently appeared on More Like Radio and spoke about Daniel Bryan's recent run on top and more. Here are the highlights…

Comparing Daniel Bryan's failed run on top to Rey Mysterio's 2006 World title run: "It's flashback city for me because i feel like it's exactly what Vince did to us with Rey you know? During my run, well David Lagana first and then my run as lead writer on Smackdown you know, we were all super excited A. to be done with the exploiting Eddie thing and B. to make Rey, make him our champion, make him a giant killer. Vince was like 'Goddamn, pal, he's gonna change things.' Our Latino demographics were going up, our minority demographics were going up like we were gaining audience when Raw was losing audience and it was on Rey's back and then once he got there (Alex impersonates Vince) 'Well nobody's gonna believe he can beat Mark Henry, lets have Mark Henry just kill him and we'll find some la la ending.' He just cut Rey out at the legs during that World Title run and we've talked about my screaming fights with Vince and it was more of that. He just couldn't see the little guy beating the big guy. It just didn't work for Vince McMahon and it's super frustrating and i feel like that's what happened with Daniel Bryan"

On Dave Lagana and TNA: "I tend to watch TNA only when somebody tells me theres this great thing. Like I haven't really been keyed in since the original Angle/Samoa Joe deal which is years ago at this point. There's certainly been really good angles. I love what Dave (Lagana) did on Ring Ka King, which I just thought was so bizarre the indian sub show they did. I thought it was so bizarre and fun with the Bollywood wrestling. I was super into that and Dave was the creative mastermind behind that. I just find it difficult to get into TNA, like I was super into Mickie James's evolution into a heel and sort of the build of her, and then she left and I sort of dropped away at that point. But like Aces & Eights, Hogan and Bischoff, like none of it resonated with me so I can't say I watch very often at all. I like Dave a lot and I think he does good work it's just that TNA for whatever reason, the mix of talent or the type of stories that are dictated to tell just don't grab me."

That is unless Bryan is beating Randy Orton for the WWE title at Royal Rumble, setting up the triple threat unification match.

I just don't understand how they can think that this is a good idea. I actually love Orton and respect Cena, but look at the reactions these guys have been getting. WHY would you want that as the main event on your biggest show of the year?

Not to mention that it's the freaking 30th anniversary for Wrestlmania. I mean they're supposed to be pulling out all of the stops and great stuff for this particular one.
