Orsgamic finisher!

 

[Loki882]

Her entrance sounds suspiciously sexual as well. I wonder if it's intentional (it's not like it'd be a first for WWE in that regard)?

As an aside, I heard that she's dating Big Cass in real-life. That's, interesting.

 

[Loki882]

I actually think Smackdown has won the last 2 weeks.

I also am not as upset about Becky losing. She's the "female Dean Ambrose", her time will come.

Eva Marie...well, at least she's nice to look at lol

-I keep hearing people say this, but it's been a LONG time and she's still stuck in a "loser" role. And there's sign of that changing anytime whatsoever.

Also Ambrose only got his push because Roman got popped for a drug violation (in other words, a lucky fluke). They weren't putting the belt on him before that, so I don't hold that up as proof of anything as far as Becky goes.

I just don't have the same confidence in them doing right by her, they've given me no reason to.

-Meh, Eva doesn't really do anything for me looks-wise. She's just looks so, artificial. Give me Becky, Sasha, Charlotte, Paige, Bayley, Alexa, Asuka, Maryse, Lana, etc over Eva any day.

The thing about Becky Lynch that makes her like Ambrose is that she remains over no matter how many losses she takes. That and she almost rarely loses clean.

As for Ambrose's current championship reign, I don't think it's a knock on him on HOW he got the belt. I think the WWE clearly had it in their plans to eventually put the belt on him (see the lead up to Roadblock before Wrestlemania), I think they just escalated their plans.

I didn't say she was better looking than any of them, but you can't deny that she's attractive. (FYI, I'm legit in love with Sasha Banks. Finest female wrestler I've ever seen. Trash Stratus being #2).

All the talk about Orton and Lesnar never facing off in a PPV, I'm legit shocked that the WWE has never had the Rock/Triple H/Austin triple threat as a PPV main event. I know they tried but Austin got hurt, but you'd think they would have tried again down the line.

 

[aNarcHy2day]

After hearing Matt Hardy on Jericho's Podcast, I totally support putting Championship Gold on Matt.

Given their economic problems, that may be the intelligent decision too on TNA's part.

 

[chamber-music]

Matt hardy is the most buzz thing about tna recently. Even moose joining tna didn't generate much interest.

Too many egos prevented it from hsppening.

Who would go over?

Dream matches are usually a one on one or tag team affair. I can honesty say I've rarely dreamt of a triple threat or four way. The only ones I can think of is Sasha Banks vs Bayley vs Becky Lynch vs Charlotte and Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins vs Roman Reigns.

In hindsight it seems like a no-brainer, but remember that when Rock and Austin were at their prime, Triple H was simply not on their level. When Triple H did cement himself as a legit wrestling icon, Rock was on his way out in favour of being a movie star, then you had competing sets of injuries (Austin's, Triple H's) and then Austin's falling out with the WWE.

Aaron Stevens has joined TNA. What's Damien Shadow doing in The Impact Zone?

Who would go over?

IIRC Triple H was originally going to retain had Austin been able to work the match.

[TX85]

I'll be very happy with whoever wins between Gran Metalik and Tajiri!

 

[Bat Brain]

Ibushi/Alexander was ****ing crazy. Another MOTY contender. This CWC is my favourite thing.

 

[TX85]

Ibushi better not just win the cwc tournament but get a big push on Raw as the cruiserweight division's champion for a good while!

 

[venom892]

Cedric Alenxander completely won me over not only with the match but afterwards. Triple H coming out to confirm a signing was actually kinda awesome.

 

[TX85]

Very classy of Triple H, Beautiful ending!!

 

[Dr. Evil]

Among the women in NXT, the way she's being built up, Ember Moon will be the one to dethrone Asuka. It's not going to be Bayley because Bayley is headed up soon and Bille Kay, while talented, I think is going to be fed to Ember at Takeover.

 

[chamber-music]

Barrett said his thinking of going to Japan. He also says he might go back tot the WWE in a couple years.

Aaron Stevens has joined TNA. What's Damien Shadow doing in The Impact Zone?

Damn. I might actually have to start checking out TNA again.

These CWC matches are killing it. A few of these matches have been better than recent Wrestlemainia matches.

Instead of trying to help Mojo, Nakamura casually danced down to the ring and then grabbed Joe's nose.

See I don't think that they planned on putting the belt on Ambrose anytime soon if Roman didn't get popped. Everything that I've read and heard points against that notion. Also I'm pretty sure that he's going to be dropping the belt to AJ or Bray Wyatt within the next to months anyway.

And the problem is, how long are you going to do this "oh she can lose constantly and it's fine" thing. She's been doing that practically since she came up from NXT and that was over a year ago. Also she's the only one of the Horsemen who didn't get to be NXT women's champion, no has been protected by the writers constantly. So I think that her fans have been more than patient enough, it's time for her to start winning, SOON!!

Also I'd be more receptive to the idea that "they're totally setting her up for something," if WWE's track-record was so suspect in this area. How many times in the past have fans gone "oh they should push this one more, they're really talented," but Vince and co just don't do it because they don't see what the fans do? It's happened a lot. And how many times in the past have fans gone "well they're clearly setting this person up for something big, they have to be. This makes no sense otherwise," and then Vince and co just don't do anything interesting with them, it's happened a lot as well, etc.

I just don't have the same confidence that they're "obviously setting her up for something cool" because they've dropped the ball so many times before. And how long is this "setup" going to take, it's been quite awhile already?

And honestly, I don't fine Eva Marie to be all that attractive honestly. She just looks so, artificial to me.

 

[SpideyVille]

I don't know ... Rumors were that Vince was souring on Roman shortly before the loss, and even if Roman was still champ for the draft, would they have moved him AND Cena to Smackdown?

I feel like Seth would have definitely stood on Raw, but had Dean stood there too, there was no way he was going to get a better push. I can understand Roman losing as punishment, but if he was really as into the doghouse as people claim, then why is his next feud for the next big belt on Raw?

I respect your opinion, but that's just it: an opinion.

The fact of the matter is the WWE basically did a dry run of Ambrose in the Main Event against Triple H leading up to Wrestlemania because:
A. Reigns got hurt and...
B. Reigns was getting booed out of the building while Ambrose's pops are as loud as New Day's.

Remember, Ambrose was essentially main eventing for months even before that with making the finals of the title tournament and being 2nd to last in the Royal Rumble. Like I said earlier, the intention might not have been to put the belt on him so quickly, but the plan has seemingly always been for him to be a World champion sooner than later. Everything you read is correct in regards to the circumstances on how he got the belt, but if the WWE felt like he couldn't be champ, why would they put them belt on him instead of just keeping it with a "proven" guy like Rollins?

Yes, he'll probably drop the belt to Styles or Wyatt, but every champ drops the belt at some point. That doesn't mean he hasn't always been championship material.
