What Kinda Wrestling Thread You Runnin' Here?

That's been confirmed as a fake.

Don't worry...... yet.

 

[DarkSentinel]

SO glad that's fake.

 

[Docker2.0]

Rowan needs Wyatt back.

 

[Lobo]

I'd be fine if it were real. Though I'm hoping it's

Bryan vs Lesnar
Reigns vs Rusev
Orton vs Rollins vs Ambrose
Sting vs Trips
Cena vs Sheamus
Wyatt vs Taker (since its what they're hoping for)
Ziggler vs Show
Harper vs Rowan
Ryback winning the Andre battle royal

 

[Lead Cenobite]

That's been confirmed as a fake.

Don't worry...... yet.

I read somewhere else about Cena being advertised as champion at live events after the Rumble. Is that fake too?

So far..... no.

However, if it isn't true, it would be far from the first time that live event promoters in city its being held have advertised the wrong thing, or advertised a placeholder.

 

[Donnie Darko]

I have about 20 minutes left of Smackdown. So far, I've really liked the show. About to start the Daniel Bryan match.

I really liked the opening segment. However, I'm surprised no one commented on Ziggler saying he wouldn't "sit on his couch and complain on a podcast" after being fired.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Ziggler coming in at #30 and winning the Rumble would be a huge swerve that would get the crowd eating out of the WWE's hands. Come on, do it. Do it do it do it.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Speaking of #30 (and all the numbers), am I supposed to believe that there were only 30 balls in that lottery thing? Also, since numbers are printed pretty large on the balls, why don't the guys just look and grab the highest number? It's not like it's an opaque container.

Here's a segment that kinda represents a way to add to the main show's presentation IMO:

[YT]G4GftMxWvtg[/YT]

[YT]vQi0hz79XA[/YT]

Simple segment of guys being interviewed before going into the show with a non "wrestling" promo style delivery but it kinda makes things feel a little bit more real and a post match interview. The backstage/"behind the scenes" stuff is rather under utilized in this era and I think segments like the above can add to product especially if some episodes open this way and then went to the opening theme graphic.

I think that's Manhattan by the Garden. Only Roy Rogers left in the city. I miss Roy Rogers.

 

[sweetre15]

I think that's in Manhattan by the Garden.

And it's still fake

Cause most wrestlers can only count to 20, and even then only by taking off their boots.

At least we know that Ambrose will have a pretty high number, since he stole Fandango's number, and Fandango seemed to be happy with it.

Yeah, I liked how Superstars would cut a promo before Saturday Night's Main Event intro started. That was cool and a good way to get fans like myself pumped for the show!

 

[zeroapoc]

Ziggler taking a shot at CM Punk was amusing.

 

[NDX]

And it's still fake

I was focusing on the Roy Rogers, which looks to be gone, too. Dammit, why can't we have anything good anymore in the city?!

I will never visit the fixin's bar again.

Dude, you need to calm down. Vinny Mac will have you assassinated for uttering this nonsense.

 

[sweetre15]

So is this a look at the future top Babyface scene on the inside of this ring?:

 

[bullets]

Any one of those guys could be the top face of the company ( except Ryback ) . Maybe they could turn Cena heel after WrestleMania.

A Ziggler swerve is what I want most. But if they do it, has to come in early and outlast everyone.

They have to tell his story, and have the crowd get behind him. Do it with big eliminations, close calls where he's almost out, etc.

Man I hope the top heel 5 going forward would be Rollins, Wyatt, Sheamus, Barrett, and Rusev

 

[bullets]

I forgot about Sheamus , that's another heel turn that needs to happen. Is Sheamus returning at the Rumble? and where is Orton , I thought he was working house shows.

 

[nite-owl]

What did he say?

 

[Lobo]

He could be the destroyer heel with Heyman once Brock is gone.

I could also see a Mania match involving Ziggler/Ryback vs Kane/Show
