This Is What A REAL Wrestling Thread Looks Like - - - Part 211

What are the chances of us seeing Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens at WrestleMania, title or non title?

What are the chances of us seeing Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens at WrestleMania, title or non title?

I'm holding out hope that Kevin Owens will soon beat Ryback for the Intercontinental Title, leading to Daniel Bryan coming back to make a claim for the title he vacated around WrestleMania season.

Kevin Owens VS Daniel Bryan for the IC Title, with the added drama of Bryan selling the injury he's coming back from? A recipe for potential match of the night, right there.

 

[Keyser Soze]

WWE must either really hate Billie Kay, putting her in the ring with dead weight like Eva Marie or now Adana Brooke and expecting her to prove herself, or they have a lot of faith in her ability to drag decent matches out of the driftwood.

Spoiler

So it looks like Ashley from Tough Enough has joined Total Divas

When was there an Ashley on that show?

 

[Keyser Soze]

My fave segment of the night so far has to be Izzy the Bayley super-fan getting to meet Bayley and hang out with her at the WWE Performance Center.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Also, Jimmy Uso's commentary on this main event is hilariously bad. Poor guy seems lost, did they put him up there as a rib?

That feud would be awesome. KO should have a dominate run with the belt too if he gets it.

He means Amanda

 

[PyroChamber]

He means Amanda

Eh, I'm not surprised. I figured they wouldn't just let her go.

Whatever belt Owens wins first in WWE, whether it's IC, U.S., or World, I want Zayn to be the one who takes it off of him.

IC title feuds need actual segments where the wrestlers build hype for the matches. Ryback and Kevin Owens cutting promos on one another, backstage fights, parking lot brawls, sit down interviews, training videos etc. That's the problem with RAW and Smackdown, they can do more than NXT production-wise and they do squat. It's just wrestler A interferes in wrestler B's match, and they trade off doing guest commentary blah blah blah. Some people may not like Resev vs Ziggler but it's an actual feud with build where we know the guys can have a good match,, and I'm sorry but Resev isn't a joke just because they're giving him some comedy elements. A joke is someone like Santino, Adam Rose, Macho Mandow, Axelmania, or Heath Slater. Someone who is nothing but schtick and never is allowed to look legitimate.

I have no idea of the state of play in WWE right now but I wouldn't be surprised if the plan is for Rollins reign to surpass Punks so they can further wipe him for their history, as they are currently doing with inflato taking AJ's record.

I don't see them doing it since Rollins is such a chickensh** heel. He'd have to Honky Tonk Man his way to the new record. If it were to happen, he'd have to hold the title until Money In The Bank next year.

I don't see how WWE could make Rollins holding the title that long entertaining unless, they change his booking and alter his character. I'm sick of the formula of his supposed allies "testing" him, Seth crying about his situation, then somehow escaping with the title, Triple H and Stephanie, you're heels, so act like it. Vince didn't test The Rock when he was a young, 26 year old corporate champion.

Nobody holding the title that long will be entertaining. People would have gotten sick of Daniel Bryan had he not gotten injured.

The problem is that WWE doesn't have a lot of roster depth and they have too many PPV. I don't care how good a feud is, the matches are gonna get stale after a while.

WWE need to be more willing to cycle mid card guys into the main event from time to time (and not just in triple threat and elimination chamber matches). They'd also do well to consider bringing in top tier talent from other promotions for one off matches.

either that or cut down on the number of PPV's.

You really hit a key point here. Vince was arguably the greatest heel ever because he was so dispicable and evil all of the time. He did everything to get his way. HHH and Stephanie both try to be "cool" NWO-style heels where they occasionally do something underhanded or flex their muscles, but will then try to pander to the crowd for cheers. It ruins whatever angles they are working at the time.

 

[SuperBatman]

I actually don't see Rollins keeping the title after NOC. I expect even if he beats Sting that HHH will cost him the title in a Sheamus cash in

Sasha Banks said when she first joined the WWE they wanted the new women to wrestle 'Divas style' which meant no kicking or punching and lots of hair pulling and slapping.

When Del Rey was hired she changed that stuff up and trained them like she would train the men.

My fave segment of the night so far has to be Izzy the Bayley super-fan getting to meet Bayley and hang out with her at the WWE Performance Center.

Any one who wants cheap heat could bad mouth Izzy

Also, Jimmy Uso's commentary on this main event is hilariously bad. Poor guy seems lost, did they put him up there as a rib?

Jimmy has been doing commentary while his brother is out. WWE could of used Jimmy's family connection to Roman Reigns in his feud with the Wyatts.

 

[chamber-music]

Carmella is consistently improving.
Carmella looks comfortable and confident in the ring as well as on the mic.
The moonwalking is fabulous

Tyler Breeze got slapped so hard he tagged out

Crossbodies ain't s*** to Bull Dempsey.

If Bull Dempsey ever makes it to the main roster he will definitely get a name change. I doubt Vince wants to give anyone the opportunity to turn his name into the expletive that often accompanies him on NXT.

Sandow has got bars on upupdowndown t:

NXT should do an Australian heel Divas stable with Emma, Billie Kay and Peyton Royce called The Sheilas t:
Alternatively they could dress Buddy Murphy up as Immortant Joe and have the thee Aussie Divas be his brides.

Balor winning for his Driver's Ed teacher.
Balor with the jacket looked cool but opening to show the title made him look like a flasher

Muscle Buster + Coupe de Grac = Goodnight Kalisto.

This is the first time I've ever heard the Lucha Dragons speak.

Perfect 10, TYE DILLINGER!

Devin snapping on Dana is the greatest slow burn in the WWE

 

[cabel]

Balor showing shades of the Real Rock N' Rolla with that jacket.

 

[the dmg]

Gable/Jordan as a team is wonderful to watch.

I really think they shouldn't bring Breeze up to the main roster until Zoolander 2 is closer to release so they can capitalize on it.

The Perfect 10 gimmick has been going over well at house shows from what I've read, and Dillinger is doing it perfectly.

It's really strange seeing Gargano and Ciampa on NXT.

 

[NDX]

I'm shocked they gave Gargano and Ciampa the win. Not that I'm upsetting knowing they have at least 1 more match in the near future.

Same here. They looked good though, Gargano more than Ciampa.

 

[PyroChamber]

Wow, that was a terrible promo by Dana Brooke.

Also, what is this new Monday Night Wars series going to talk about that we don't already know?

 

[runawayboulder]

 

[chamber-music]

Hot damn! Renee Young is fine

I hope Breeze feuds with Ziggler when he comes up.
