Agreed. I wanted to see Fandango become an Intercontinental Title-obsessed character at this point in time. Have him cut promos about how his parents were dancers at the after-show where Pat Patterson became the first Intercontinental Champion. A disgruntled Johnny Rodz made a pass at Fandango's mother, which caused his father to blind-side the former WWE South American Heavyweight Champion with a punch. Rodz would have no doubt killed Fandango's father if it weren't for security at the event, but Fandango saw the fire in his father that night -- both the dance and the fight.
It'd explain Fandango's entire presentation, and it would give him a real personal connection to the IC Title. It does make Fandango a couple of years older than he really is in kayfabe, but that would explain the maturity behind the character's style when he originally debuted, and only really adds intrigue to him, in my opinion. |

Jericho said on his podcast that he actually tried to talk Fandango out of self-reporting just because he had a feeling WWE would wind up killing his push.</font> |

A couple of stuff from the WWE & sheets:

SPOILER: show Some other sheet news includes Rey Mysterio is currently asking around a $20,000 fee per show to any promotion that wants him until his deal with AAA is done. Samoa Joe is expected to reveal which company he's joining after his upcoming RoH dates are done. |
#AxelMania he should put himself in the IC ladder match and the battle royal.
|
Some AWA Wrestling on TV right now..... turned it on and the first guy who comes out is "Rock and Roll" Buck Zumhofe.... tag teaming with "Leon White" vs. The Alaskans.
|
That stuff about the CM Punk/John Cena merchandise is just so petty...

I don't doubt it.

Ziggler has tweeted in the past about how his shirts were sold out but there was loads of Cena stuff left. I think even Orton has said something about there not being enough of his merch available at live events compared to Cena.
|
You'd think a company would want to make as much money as possible.

I'm happy for Alundra Blayze. The WWE have marginalized just how successful and important she was in the WWE during the early years of WrestleMania. My pipe-dream of Emma making the Divas Title match isn't going to happen, but I could see Alundra Blayze cancelling out Brie Bella's role in the ladies' match at Mania.
|
DaveWadding is online. Holy shit.
|
Charlotte debuts on RAW, wins the Divas title and dumps it into the trash. She then goes on to revive the WWE Women's Championship.

Although I do like the idea of the current Total Divas generation having no championship ties to the great ones of the past. If they did something like making the Divas Title exclusive to Total Divas Cast members and had the Woman's championship for the ones there for the right reasons it would work. |

Damn shame I have to ask the legitimacy of this based on a stupid name alteration that WWE may or may not actually use. |
It's photoshopped. It's well done though.

I wouldn't be surprised if they have a lot of Roman Reigns' Spider-Man logo shirts at live shows, but maybe 10 Ambrose shirts. As for #AxelMania shirts, i'd prob'ly have to silk screen it myself. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cpEPvhfmHz4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> This wasn't exasperation... it was legitimate surprise. |
This Brock Lesnar NUCLEAR HEATZ / showing up at UFC 184 thing has a couple of really hilarious-in-a-train-wreck-sort-of-way scenarios, assuming it's remotely true and doesn't get cleared up beforehand.
1) If Brock is leaving after Wrestlemania, which will probably be pretty obvious beforehand--Just imagine the absolute shit storm the main event will be. Goldberg/Brock was bad, but most of the type of people that are going to be at Wrestlemania will absolutely loathe Roman Reigns still and will know that Brock is leaving. I could see a very, very strong potential for a crowd reaction way worse than WM20--or probably the longest sustained "Daniel Bryan!" chant of all time. 2) It would be absolutely hilarious if Brock remained in pissed-off-BROCKSMASH mode towards WWE all the way up to the main event and went into business for himself during the match. I'm actually way more interested in the main event now just to see what level of mega-clusterfuck it can reach, which, you know, means it'd be a really brilliant work. Either way, Road to Wrestlemania: http://i.minus.com/iZV768QxNArE.gif |
I think Brock showing up at UFC is just to make his new contract with WWE more comfy.
|
|
Can't stand those chest tattoos on women, I think they look hideous, but then it's Paige so I'm conflicted....
|
I would love to watch a condensed version of Total Divas for amusement.

If most eyes are on 'Mania season and you present a guy as 1/6th of a match for the IC Title you can instantly take away that this guy is not a big deal. The casual audience are already programmed to see that a Dolph Ziggler or a Daniel Bryan is not on the same level (or anywhere near) as a HHH, Undertaker, Brock, etc. When those guys leave after Mania you're left watching the also-runs. Then they spend all year treading water with the full-time guys, ready for next Mania to be more of the same. Do they rest on their laurels because they can bring out the "Big Names" every year to sure up the card? Would they benefit from booking a few guys strongly throughout the year so that they can create new "Big Names"? Last year should have made Daniel Bryan, and to a lesser extent Cesaro, those guys should be embroiled in meaningful feuds, if not over top titles, then over personal matters. Shit, they could even have done DB vs Cesaro, with both guys claiming that Mania 30 was their night and that they're no further along than they were a year ago in spite of their big wins. Play up their similar journeys on the independents, boom, meaningful, personal match that'd steal the show from an in-ring aspect. Quote:

I pretty much agree with XL on the issue of how WrestleMania is presented. You need to get that larger audience to latch on, and that means what they see needs to be meaningful, and come into play over the coming year.

Do you think the WWE will give Ivelisse/Sofia Cortez another look in the future? She's hot, she's young, she can wrestle. Wasn't her big crime being a fan of the party too much? That's something someone can outgrow, right?
|
|
I was thinking that Cesaro & Kidd only won the titles to give The Usos a face chase for WrestleMania -- but the more I think about it the more I want to see Cesaro & Kidd retain. I just think it would be better for everyone involved, and the tag team scene moving forward.
|
|
That looks bad :(
|
I'll never understand how Hernandez was around so long. He was dangerously sloppy. That Border Toss could have killed someone.
|
LAX was so good back with Konann. This was like 8 years, but that has to count for something.

Samoa Joe is expected to sign with WWE soon. A deal may not be signed yet but it appears both sides will come to an agreement soon. We've noted that Triple H is a fan of Samoa Joe and is likely behind the deal. .......oh shit |

Why would they?

His TNA world champion run obviously.
I'd still mark for MCMG though. |

According to recent reports, RAW still struggling with ratings especially this late in Mania season. Number of viewers and ratings both were down compared to last week and around 700,000 less viewers compared to last year.

What if they bring him in as "Joeman Reigns" and have him be Roman Reigns' "cousin"?

Joey Uso.

Sean Joeman.

They seem like sort of a relic, as sad as this is to say, but I'd mark for The Motor City Machine Guns popping up in NXT. Even if it's just a tryout thing. They could tear it up for a few weeks and try and prove they deserve contracts.

You know what will be hilarious? When Ambrose, Bryan, and Dolph all lose at once at Mania. The crowd is going to be PISSED but I think the WWE is going to troll everyone with a R-Truth win.

He will now be honor killed by his father for getting pwned by a girl.

Technically not a spinebuster but a take-down and the way she did it makes me think she's had prior experience.

Don't undersell the stiff ass elbow too.

Upon closer inspection, it appears to be more of a reeeeeeeeeeeally hard bitchslap.

If Barrett loses the title, he's fucked.
Since coming back and winning the belt, he's spent his time losing and being made to look like a complete bufoon by having the title constantly stolen. If he tops that all off by officially losing the belt at mania, then there's no saving him from jobberville. |
Remember when he was brought back from injury with vignettes hyping him as a badass street fighter? And then within two weeks he was running scared away from matches like every other heel on the roster? If such a thing as "make or break" exists with characters anymore, his came and went a long time ago.
|
Probably can pin point the exact moment Barrett's career went down in the tubes to when Big Show injured him with a botched/moronic toss to the outside done to Ziggler.
Took him almost 2 years to recover from the Cena "burial" of the Nexus and right when it looks like he's on the verge of something huge, Big Show recklessly causes his and Ziggler's injuries in one night. Went from someone who was looking as a heavy favorite to win MitB that year to becoming just another guy languishing in the midcard. |
Barrett was never a favourite to win MitB, and it would have been terrible if he had.
|
Wonder if Triple H would take credit if Damien San/Mizdow blew up and entered the main event picture as a long term storyline.

But he might luck out later. Never say never. Henning* is getting a groundswell of support from this whole #AxelMania thing, and hopefully they don't let that slide downhill like when HE was rechristened to be a badass (and a Paul Heyman guy to boot) and they saw fit to let that evaporate in like a month and he just became a punching bag and a joke lackey. The same might happen later for Wade. But yeah... I hope it doesn't come down to luck. He should not only retain, but the other guys should continue to chase him and feud with eachother to stay in IC contention instead of that whole scene evaporating after WrestleMania. |
