Tonight, We Are Going to Hijack The Wrestling Thread!!! - - Part 149

[JabarR]

Cool new episodes of WM Rewind and and Countdown,Magnum T.A. appears on Countdown!!

I'm waiting for "The Monday Night War" to come on.

 

[The Sage]

Bryan really is the type of white meat babyface they tried manufacturing Cena into. But Bryan fits it to a tee.

 

[Wheels]

Ultimate Warrior, Undertaker, Batista, and John Cena.

The only men who have beat Triple H in a singles match at WrestleMania. The latter two are guys WWE gave the keys to the kingdom to over the last decade give or take.

You beat Triple H one on one at WrestleMania and that means that WWE thinks you're a big deal. So as much as I want Bryan as champion, at least if he beats Triple H one on one at WrestleMania then he'll probably be a top guy for life.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Triple-H going over Lesnar last year is still such a joke. The whole thing came across like such a pointless ego stroke, especially one particular episode of Raw when Stephanie was trying to talk HHH out of facing Lesnar again. She went on and on about how much the fans love him and literally tried to get a chant started and failed.

- Ring of Honor star ACH (Albert Harle Jr.) will be at the next WWE tryout camp with Kevin Steen and Roderick Strong.

- As noted, WWE has signed former CZW Champion Drake Younger and he will begin working out at the Performance Center in early May. Young attended the December WWE tryouts, which were described as overall having the least amount of talent as any other WWE tryouts in recent memory.

- While Cesaro vs. Jack Swagger is being teased for WrestleMania XXX, it could end up being a three-way with Big E for the WWE Intercontinental Title.

- WWE NXT talents were told at the recent set of TV tapings that the NXT product would be pushed more significantly now that the WWE Network is up. The talents were told that the company wants to get behind NXT as a pure wrestling product within the WWE.

They were also told that while some people may be brought up, like Emma, it's going to be a slow process and for everyone to be patient with the idea that with the Network, they'll all be getting lots of exposure even without a call up.

Bryan won't beat Triple H, and if he does, it will only be due to epic amounts of interference to show just how much it takes to beat the Gameuhhhhh. My guess is Triple H wins the match fairly cleanle, and Bryan will beat Trips at the next ppv.

I LOVE the idea of a Make A Wish kid inducting Cena. That would be fantastic. Second choice for me would be Edge. He was basically the Piper to Cena's Hogan during their careers.

Don;t forget the nana na na chants when he "retired" were dubbed over with Triple H chants in the edited video package of his "storied" career the next Raw.

Yep.

He has ruined his rep and legacy beyond repair at this point.

 

[Wheels]

You're most likely right, Lobo. I was just pointing out what it would mean in regards to Bryan's position if he did get the straight up win. He's in the club after that.

 

[Lobo]

It would mean A LOT and I know it. Imagine Booker's WWE career if he had won that Mania match?! I mean he still had a pretty decent run in the E but still. We have become accustomed to Bryan's situation or those similar as getting Christiane'd, I wonder if a few years from now well be saying (insert wrestler) got DBry'd?

 

[Hunter Rider]

If Bryan vs Triple H happens I think Triple H will put Bryan over clean in the middle of the ring.

So Hunter, what do you think of the PPV themes done by Saliva? If any of them was your favorite then which one was it?

Honestly it's not my kind of music, my favourite song they used with a PPV was Highway to Hell with Summerslam 1998.

 

[Lobo]

And how would you feel if Triple H wins the match proving himself and The Authority right?

.

WOW bold prediction. Bryan will be booked like a massive deal for the rest of his career if that happens.

 

[Hunter Rider]

It would just add extra ticks on my score card of reasons I can't stand him lol. However I think his smarts outweigh his huge ego, he knows Bryan has to win and unlike with Brock and Orton and even Hardy he has no excuses, he's a heel facing a mega over face with a storyline that dictates a pay-off is required and he has to lose.

I also think he will want to show himself in a good light leadership-wise to the locker-room, and to the wrestlers considered his guys from developmental, the bulk of whom are small.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Yep, much like he cemented Cena at Mania 22 in an angle very similar to this, where he used the shoot stuff about fans thinking Cena was a poor wrestler and not in his league, treating Cena as beneath him and an easy win, then at Mania Cena beat him with a wrestling move and tapped him out.

 

[Hunter Rider]

 

[sweetre15]

And Hunter, if you havent noticed Trips has essentially Buried his own drawing power with this Authority Angle. He used to pop viewership in a big way when he went into part timer mode but now he does nothing for the ratings. Burying Bryan would be like Trips burying himself even more. I hope he knows that.

 

[X Knight]

If HHH beats Bryan, clean or not, they might as well kiss the rest of WM goodbye.

cuz there'll be such a huge backlash and **** storm from the fans, they'll crap on everything that comes afterwards. Especially the ME with Batista vs. Orton.

 

[the dmg]

AmDrag and Kane's match on ME was damn good. Kane sold the leg pretty well throughout the match.

 

[The Sage]

Yep, much like he cemented Cena at Mania 22 in an angle very similar to this, where he used the shoot stuff about fans thinking Cena was a poor wrestler and not in his league, treating Cena as beneath him and an easy win, then at Mania Cena beat him with a wrestling move and tapped him out.

And they need to replace the image of Triple H tapping out to a crossface like submission...

I hope you're right. There really is no excuse this time around. None of that "Bryan'll wiin the rematch in the next PPV that no one will remember" booking.

 

[SuperBatman]

Am I the only one that thinks that Bryan vs. HHH could be the ME at WM. 2 years ago the World Title match between Punk and Jericho wasn't the ME that year because of John Cena vs. The Rock just because its a title match doesn't mean Batista vs. Orton will be the ME unless they add Bryan and HHH and Bryan is low on the card. Hell Lesnar vs. Taker would be a better ME rather than Batista vs. Randy Orton

IF WWE has no plans on putting Bryan in the title match I could see them putting HHH vs. Bryan that way Bryan could end the PPV with the Yes Movement may happen may not.

that could work, but only if the stip is that if Bryan wins he gets to challenge the winner of Batista vs Orton for the title at the next PPV.

however, it would be better if Bryan won the title at WM.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Taker/Brock main events Mania: Taker wins and the Streak lives. Cool, I guess....

Bryan/HHH main events Mania: Bryan wins, which is cool, but it would've been better if HHH was champion and honestly, WE ALL want Bryan to end Mania holding up both belts with 75,000+ screaming "YES!"

Batista/Orton main events Mania: WWE are ****ing morons.

that could work, but only if the stip is that if Bryan wins he gets to challenge the winner of Batista vs Orton for the title at the next PPV.

Again, WWE would be morons if this happened.

 

[X Knight]

yeah.....Bryan HAS to win the title at WM.

that's really the only payoff that feels acceptable after dragging this s*** on for so long.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Holy crap. Former Raw Guest Host Betty White is 92.

And she's as sharp and witty as ever.
