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

[Hunter Rider]

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.

Yeah, he needs something to get him back on track if he wants to keep on booking himself as a special attraction, I think his wasting of those two Lesnar matches soured a lot of people.

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.

Agreed, the win that matters is the win at Mania, it is where the moments are created, it's why I always felt HBK should have beaten Angle at Mania 21 and Angle should have won the rematch at Vengeance.

 

[Lobo]

I'm not watching any wrestling until after Mania when the "new season" begins. Fresh feuds, and call ups etc.

[sweetre15]

On and Hunter thoughts on my theory for why Bryan is over?...I think I'm on the money but I could be wrong.

 

[sweetre15]

and YOWZA!! Velvet Sky's sexy body is ALWAYS a pleasure to see

 

[TX85]

Watched Main Event earlier,D-Bry vs Kane was good and made me wish Kane was wrestling more often again or at least back to his self,Doesn't need to be the mask but I mean like the old mask less Kane tights.

So are NAO vs Usos for the title rematch beig held off until WM?

 

[JabarR]

The Total Divas will be on Arsenio Hall tomorrow night.

I think you covered most of it, especially how he can relate to the various demos really well, essentially if you boil it down he has the genuine qualities of Foley combined with the in ring talent of a guy like Benoit, he's credible to the smarks and likable to the casuals, plus he has arguably the greatest reaction trigger in pro wrestling history.

I think the tag title match will end up being a gauntlet or a 4 corners match in order to get as many guys on the card as possible.

[Dr. Evil]

I want to see Mickie James back in WWE.

 

[bullets]

Wowzers

[X Knight]

who's this??

 

[Trainwreck2100]

Dude that's Mick Foley on that shirt cmon man

 

[Lantern Venom]

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.

Kane beat him by DQ at WrestleMania 15. HHH's record at WrestleMania is something like 7-9. Yes, he's lost more than he's won, and only a couple of those were MOTY contenders. Hence why the crowd was chanting "NO!" when Bryan was asking for the match on Monday. Not only does he gain nothing in terms of storytelling, he'll face the tough task of getting a good match out of a semi-retired, middle-aged man. Those aren't great prospects.

 

[Lantern Venom]

There are a lot of talented people in that pic, most of whom would probably have to wear a name tag to remind Vince and HHH that they actually work for the company.

 

[sweetre15]

who's this??

Foley's daughter Noelle

 

[X Knight]

Foley's daughter Noelle

Then add that to the audience's hunger and desire for new blood to breakthrough. Which has become evident with the The Shield, Wyatts, and Ziggler's reactions as well over the guys that we're TOLD to get behind by Vince like Sheamus, Orton and ADR.

 

[sweetre15]

thanks.

is she a wrestler, too?

Not that I know of but she does actively watch wrestling. She's in college I think

I think Bryan will have to remind the audience from time to time that he feels the "only way" to get himself a fair shot at the title is by getting HHH out of the way
