way overdue imo.

Stevens was so good in the ring. Had two equally legendary tag teams with both Pat Patterson and Nick Bockwinkel.

Exclusive: Another Legend To Join The 2015 WWE Hall Of Fame

Former AWA star Ray Stevens, the long-time tag team partner of Pat Patterson, is scheduled to be inducted into the 2015 WWE Hall of Fame.

He will be inducted by Patterson, who for years has lobbied for Stevens inclusion in the WWE Hall of Fame. The timing and location seemed ideal this year given Stevens' long-time connection to the greater San Francisco area. For several years Stevens was a major star for Roy Shire as well as the AWA. WWE is expected to make the official announcement in February.

Is this Smackdown going to be 3 hours and an equal to a Raw or are they going to puss out and wait til Raw to have a big post Rumble show?

Gonna throw some armchair booking here:

- HHH's announcement is that the WWE title will be defended twice at Mania, with the guaranteed match of Lesnar vs. Reigns. The other match will be the winner of Reigns/Lesnar vs the winner of Fast Lane's Elimination Chamber (Ambrose/Bryan/Kane/Show/Ziggler/Wyatt).

-Bryan and Ziggler finish up the chamber with Bryan getting the win.

-At Mania, Lesnar vs Reigns opens the show, and Lesnar rips through Reigns, almost an exact replica of Cena/Lesnar from Summerslam.

-Heyman builds up that Brock barely broke a sweat and he'll have no problem steam rolling Bryan in the main event.

-Bryan vs the Authority's newest muscle Sheamus was booked by HHH as a "tune-up" match for Bryan to soften him up.

-Bryan upsets Lesnar to win the Championship.

-Next night on RAW, Reigns comes out and admits he was "in over his head" and wasn't ready to be "the man", as he even needed help from The Rock to win the Rumble. He says Mania was a huge wakeup call that he needs to improve, and that one day he will be a champion the fans can be proud of.

-This builds huge sympathy for Reigns and makes his "rise to the top" angle very intriguing because it's very reality-based. Whatta story it would be if Reigns did indeed win over the audience from improving and won the big one at WM32 after getting embarrassed at WM31

LOL

Thats best for business

I can't stand this idea that Lesnar has been built up so much, to the point now that he can take three Attitude Adjustments in the span of 20 seconds and still kick out at two, only for him to possibly job to a Superman Punch and a Spear. :nono:

Or 3 superman punches and 3 spears.

More than likely if Lesnar DOES get pinned, its a superman punch after getting hit in the face by the title during Heyman trying to help.

BELT SHOT
SUPERMAN PUNCH
SPEAR

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Z55UrEEooh8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I think Lesnar's "broken rib" is definitely going to be an important factor when it comes to the storytelling of the match, especially since the spear targets the rib. His broken rib will be his Achilles heel.

ok somebody better photoshop David Otunga in that pic right fucking now.

Dirtsheets:

Been a running gag for Foley's stand up comedy gig since he's been busted at least 1-2 times before at other competitions.


Some other sheet news include Daniel Bryan being the guest host of the Seattle Seahawks official Twitter account and held an hour long Q&A session.

I'm still holding out hope that we get a Dean Ambrose heel turn at Fast Lane, and that Ambrose becomes Reigns enemy #1, and the two have a match at WrestleMania whilst Brock Lesnar, Daniel Bryan and Seth Rollins tear it up in the main event. Possibly with Randy Orton also in there.

Ok, anyone else not able to load NXT on the network? Everything else is loading fine, but NXT won't load for me. I just get the buffering circle on repeat for eternity. I've tried logging out then back in and everything, but nothing seems to work... :(

clear cache maybe?

If Daniel Bryan faces Dolph Ziggler at Wrestlemania, they could potentially have match of the night. Problem is, I can't see WWE giving them a chance to upstage Triple H and Sting, Undertaker and Bray Wyatt, Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, and whatever match John Cena is in. So they'll likely only get five minutes, or even stupid Wrestlemania squash match, which seems to be a tradition these days.

My guess is we will get this match at fastlane with Sheamus costing Bryan the match giving us Sheamus/Bryan at WM and Ziggler gets a rematch with Barrett because "Fuck you all" that's why...

Of course my dream would be Bryan and Ziggler be given 2 min at Wm and decide to come out and play magic instead, quit and and go to Japan where they might be appreciated more by the higher ups there.

Fuck, Ziggler walking out Booker Man style for realz would be epic

They should come out and do a Thumb War for the match. Crowd would eat that shit up.

Crowd: 1 2 3 4 I DECLARE A THUMB WAR!

Well, guess my comments the other day are now void. According to WWE.com Rusev vs. Cena at Fast Lane is for the U.S. title. Having the #1 guy going for a low tier title will surely help boost that titles credibility.

Either that or maybe another merging of the titles (US & IC).

When Cena won the Big Gold belt, the original plan was for him to boost that title's status and Smackdown itself. Whole plan lasted 2-3 weeks before the WWE stopped caring and instead moved towards a merging feud.

The Axelution is happening.

His GENESIS starts now!

Ass Ventura: Pet Psychic

I kind of feel like it is about time for Cody Rhodes to break out. I've enjoyed his work for a long time, and was never as down on him as some were during his "CAWdy" years, but I think his "Undashing" character was when he proved he could be something more. He became a great Intercontinental Champion and then became a more conventional heel, before having an awesome face run which turned into an awesome stint with Goldust as a tag team, before they randomly lost the Tag Titles to the New Age Outlaws (presumably to make room for The Usos), got a bit lost in the shuffle, Cody got his make-over, and now they are heels.

When the split happens, or Goldust decides to retire or what have you, I think Cody might finally get the "shot" people have spoken about over the years. The timing has always felt off, but I think 2015 could be a great year for him.

Man, a feud between Cody and Bray Wyatt could lead to some very interesting promo work.

I just caught WWE:24. Granted, it didn't pull back the curtains as much as i would have wanted it to, but it did have it's moments. One in particular stood out for me. Warrior said something to the point of, "WWE is different from other places of work. It has heart."

I know the montages, and dare say, the entire series was produced to make me feel nostalgic, for me to relive moments i've invested in. But i truly think that WWE, as a company, does have heart. It's given me something to care about. Moments to cherish. Things to talk about. To bond over. To help friendships blossom, to help break the ice. I guess that's why i'll always be a fan.

Thanks, WWE.

Watching Timeline ECW 1999 Rob Van Dam. Not as good as I hoped, but he has a great Taz story.

TNA Impact **SPOILER** For March 30 2015. Yes, I'm Fucking Serious!
 

That second one is a tad shocking....

too bad we can't have the tna champ face the wwe champ at wrestlemania

for just 9.99, you can relive when it did happen

I'm looking forward to Cody having Christian's arm grafted to him, and the storyline built around it.

Kirk Angel

?

Sounds like a Metal Gear Solid reference

Click the spoiler in Ramm's quote of his own post.

Oh. Ok. Didn't look to closely at it.

Just started watching Occulus and it's a WWE film.

People told me this was good tho.

Wow, 12 minutes in and I just saw the most horribly cliched modern horror trope ever, executed incredibly poorly.

Who the hell told me this was good?

Would totally wreck this red head chick, tho.

Hope Kane shows up. Or at least Mantaur.

Raven Reaper.

According to the Observer, the possible reason why Byran vs Ziggler might happen at Mania is because Bryan pushed for that match.

Vince supposedly wanted Sheamus-Bryan instead since it didn't happen last year and likely to fix the "18 seconds" fiasco that was meant to benefit Sheamus a lot more.

So are one of them turning heel, or will they fight "just because"?

Daniel Bryan vs heel Sheamus would be the better "story", and the two always have good matches.

Don't want to see Ziggler turn heel.

Could work as face vs face match.

Anyway, would rather see that than Bryan vs Sheamus.

Also, Occulus hasn't gotten any better so far.

possibly the greatest call ever

Been speculation for a while about Sheamus turning heel and what Big Show did at Survivor Series and joining the Authority was meant for Sheamus before he got hurt.

Similar to Reigns, Sheamus could have used those months he's been out for developing a good Mania feud. Now he's more likely to just be another name for the Mania battle royale.

Ziggler is likely just going to be a face for his match against Bryan unless the WWE are really that dumb and try to turn Bryan heel. At least that's the way Ziggler has been teasing the possible matchup on Twitter.

Guess who's Axxess session hasnt sold out yet apparently

I think it's going to be booked as a face vs face match, which I'm cool with. The whole 'Hey, I respect you, and we're good but being held back, lets go out and steal the show' story could be epic :y:

Benoit's son looks like Elijah Wood.

No, We have 10 more superkicks for kick outs at 2.

Oculus gets better as it goes along. Pretty good ending too. Not a super great movie, but I don't regret watching it.

Decent job, WWE films.

I'm sure just supplied the money. Doesn't look like anything they put their hands on.

Watching WWE Rivalries: Matt Hardy vs Edge. Good stuff.

Should have happened in WWE.

Might give TNA another go. Don't know if I will regret this or not.

i thought you liked tna, it has alot of good and has alot of bad just like all wrestling shows.

So I'm wondering after the casket match, are we finally going to solve this feud?

And another thing. What is your username, even? AJ Lee's what? AJ Lee's chair? AJ Lee's first aid kit? AJ Lee's vagina? What possession of AJ Lee is your username implying?

I've given TNA varying amounts of attention over the years. They've never managed to keep me hooked however. I generally follow, but there was a period last year where I wouldn't have been able to tell you Lashley had won the World Title, or that Bobby Roode had won it off him.

Kinda feel like TNA have thrown everything at the wall since their move. Turned 3 guys in one night, switched the title, did "Feast of Fired", a booked a "Monster's Ball" match for no reason, LockDown coming up.

It's all a bit too much.

nice to see these three back together again.

Really don't like the idea of Joe being aligned with anyone. He should really just be an ass kicking machine. Low Ki is a guy that I think works better as a plucky babyface too. I'd be fine with MVP and Kenny King as heels aligned together -- MVP can go after the World Title and King over the X-Division Title.
