While I enjoyed the ending of Wrestlemania XX, I didn't digest the "Benoit's 15-year odyssey" line by Ross since he had already won the same belt in its previous incarnation.

<iframe frameborder="0" width="340" height="300" src="//www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x59ebx" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I was such a mark back then, I remember thinking Benoit left WCW because he was scared of Nash and the nWo 2000.

Kinda funny watching it though, seeing the "emotion" in Benoit when he wins the title, when even he is thinking "fuck this I'm out of here".

Think I'll be asked to change my shirt if I wear my Hulkamania one to Raw in a few weeks?

Maybe if your in front row or are visible enough on tv. Same if you were to bring a pro-Hogan sign.

"Hogan's got black friends"

"I pity the fool that thinks Hogan's racist"

Wow.

I've wanted to see the NWA do this for ages. There actually seems to be somewhat of a stir around alternative products (although they do seem to have trouble finding homes), and the NWA could easily be at the forefront of that.

I often wonder as to who they could make their "travelling champion." Matt Morgan would have been good when he first left TNA. Shelton Benjamin often pops into my mind. I think they need someone with a little bit of name recognition that could hold the belt for a while and not get stale.

This week's RAW episode not getting the usual post-ppv bump and hitting a new low ended up being the WWE's breaking point for the problem.

Basically while TNA got a bit of a break from Destination America, they actually have nothing planned post-September for Impact/booking.

Team NBC?

Something inside me wouldn't mind Carlito re-igniting his feud with Cena

Cena Undertaker at Wrestlemania is money waiting for print. Especially if it ends up being a retirement angle.

Oh, and though now unlikely, Wyatt going over Sting at Mania would've been nice. Oh well.

Pro Wrestling Guerilla had a clip on ESPNs Highly Questionable today. Joey Ryan was one of the wrestlers I think but instead of dumping tacs out of a bag it was hard candy and legos that they took bumps on.

At the local Fed which we have covered there was one rassler who did that... Only instead of tacs, candy, or Lego, it was just a bag of glitter.

"The Juice" is on a show at a shithole working men's club down the road from me at some point this month.

I used to love the idea of Carlito being a constant thorn in Cena's side. Not his main event rival or anything (although he could eventually get there), but as someone just waiting for Cena to slip on a banana peel. Loved it when he crashed that Cena promo heading into TLC 2009.

Hearing that the NWA was trying to get on Spike is interesting. I'd love to Spike get back into the wrestling game. TNA had a good platform there that they squandered. Personally, I think the WWN would be the best bet to put on there -- maybe do an hour of Dragon Gate USA and then an hour of EVOLVE.

I want to see Tessa Blanchard picked up by the WWE and put with Tye Dillinger as The Perfect Tens.

Sounds like something Dalton Castle would do.

Kickout at 17!

I wonder whats going on with MG HURST...!

We haven't seen him on TWA and he wasn't at TH BASH or at ONE NIGHT ONLY....A fan confronted TWA about the status of MG HURST on YouTube and heres what TWA said...

???

What in the world is going on?

I hope MG HURST is still with TWA...I mean if he wasn't, theyd probably have released him like they did with Mason Brooks. I wouldn't be surprised if MG Hurst and TWA cant come to terms on they're agreement...but TWA doesn't want to let MG Hurst go because hes such a big star...

But you never know...Mason Brooks was getting prime time and TWA released him.
Maybe theres conflict between TWA original management and the real deal management since they merged? Mason Brooks was a real deal original and MG Hurst is another Real Deal founder superstar...

I hope MG Hurst stays...really want to see him mix things up with somebody like Kidd Ink or Zach Snow...
What do u folks thing about this?

Probably testing out for WWE.

MG Hurst wants to be hardcore but his mom won't let him

What is this?

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cenS5gpiHPo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I was just thinking, if they don't pay The Mountain from Game of Thrones a shit ton of money to have a match against Brawn Strongman at Wrestlemania at some point, what is the point of having Brawn on the roster?

The Undertaker and Kane are apparently headlining WWE's Mexican tour against Luke Harper and Braun Strowman, with Strowman allegedly being a front-runner to face Taker at Mania 32.

That sounds really fucking boring. Stroman is perfect in his current role. They need not to expand on it. At least not so soon on such a high platform.

I'd rather they pump up the crowd in print money on a Cena/Taker retirement match.

I know, right?

Taker is becoming increasingly fragile and they're gonna put him in a match with someone so green and so big?

I'm guessing that the vast majority of the work will be handled by Kane and Harper.

That said, I like the idea in that Taker works with Harper and be like "can I face this guy at Mania, instead?" I feel like Taker would have the pull to make it happen, should he want to.

Strowman obviously needs to work to get better, but I also feel like he needs to be kept away from being overexposed in matches. House shows are fine for him, because not as many people will see what he can do. On television, I'd rather see him be the tank on the outside, helping out the more active evil minds in Wyatt & Harper.

Plus, if Strowman is kept out of the ring, it can build intrigue as to just what the guy can do, so if it comes time to have him turn on The Family, he can get quite a pop going out on his own. It's building the potential energy until you can turn it into kinetic.

I've seen it mentioned around the place that Taker is apparently a big supporter of Harper's, and was interested in working with him. To be honest, Taker vs. Harper at WrestleMania would actually intrigue me. It also plays off the story from WrestleMania last year between Wyatt and Taker. Put Strowman in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal and maybe even have him win that.

Undertaker vs. John Cena is a bigger match, however, and I'd be all for that. Part of me is thinking that if it happens, they should probably make it for the title. Cena wins the title from Rollins at some point, Taker then wins the Rumble and heads into a final date of destiny against Cena -- who possibly turns heel to retain the belt.

You'd think that the WWE would have to be interested in signing pretty much all of The Bullet Club right now. If they ever did come in, I'd like them to turn against Finn Balor in a main event title match against John Cena. The Young Bucks could strip off their Bullet Club t-shirts and reveal a new John Cena design, in bright colors, with "Hustle, Loyalty and Respect John Cena" written on the front. The Cena hand-signal on the back would be replaced with the Kliq hand-gesture.

I'm still not sold on Strowman, by the way. He just doesn't seem...menacing. He comes off as scarier in his Google image results.

http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/...20150825015351

In my opinion, he should be a modern powerhouse, perfectly eloquent (providing he can talk), highly intense, inspired by bigger ass-kickers from the past -- probably even WCW-associated guys, like Goldberg and Kevin Nash.

I'm kind of wanting Eric Bischoff back on a TV screen. Not with any sort of backstage power, mind you, but I feel that his on-screen presence would just help things for some reason.

I'd like to see him appointed by the USA Network as the man to take over SmackDown and ready it for the big transition in 2016. He takes a whole bunch of guys and makes them "SmackDown exclusive." Guys like Dolph Ziggler, Cesaro, Charlotte (maybe even dropping the Divas Title in the garbage and declaring herself the new Women's Champion), Emma, Big Show and even Fandango, denouncing the gimmick.

Part of me wouldn't mind seeing a WCW brand returning, but it feels labored and kind of hokey at this point; but something to shake things up like Eric Bischoff getting SmackDown would be kind of interesting and could lead to some exciting format changes for the show.

Another wacky idea I had: After losing the Steel Cage US Title match to John Cena in Madison Square Garden, imagine if The Authority stripped Seth Rollins of the WWE World Title. You could have Kane be the one to do it, but even Triple H or Stephanie McMahon would make sense. Their reason being that the WWE Champion is meant to be the highest ranked wrestler in the world, but Rollins has not lost three straight times to John Cena, clearly making the US Title the #1 goal in WWE.

Sure, stripping the title off a guy that's perfectly healthy seems like a counter-productive move, but it might move fan sympathy behind Rollins more than anything else they are doing with him has been. Plus, he's pretty much heatless as a heel right now. Michael Cole, Byron Saxton and the face disposition announcers could get behind the idea of Rollins never actually losing the title -- with JBL being the guy who takes The Authority's "He had his chance and he kept losing" stance.

The Authority would go to hand John Cena the title belt, but he doesn't want to be handed anything (although Cena accepting it would be a huge dick move and a starting point to Rollins challenging Cena for the title at WrestleMania). The title would be held up (without the word "abeyance" thrown around so much), and Hell in a Cell sees Lesnar vs. Taker, a US Title match, Kane vs. Rollins and The Wyatt Family vs. The Shield & Randy Orton as the major attractions -- a pretty stacked card really. Maybe you can bring back the Deadly Games tournament for Survivor Series to crown the new champion? Or have tournament semi-finals and finals, with Triple H and Seth Rollins having a high-profile match of their own.

Alternatively, if they go with Rollins vs. Kane for the World Title, I think this would be a good place for Sheamus to cash-in. Doing it mid-match seems to be the en vogue thing to do, so Sheamus could come out as Kane looks like he's about to win, and put The Demon down with a Brogue Kick. He hands over the briefcase as the announcement is made. Kane then sits up. Sheamus beats on Kane some more, but ends up getting Chokeslammed, but then Rollins low blows Kane (it now being legal due to Triple Threat rules), and Rollins finishes off Kane to keep the title.

Unless we do want to save Sheamus' cash-in for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

He looks like a jacked up Eugene.

I'd rather the Authority anoint Reigns as the man, screwing Rollins out of the belt at the Rumble to build to a Lesnar Reigns rematch after Lesnar rips through the Rumble.

Meanwhile, Rollins challenges Hunter, Cena goes against Taker, Wyatt gets Sting if the Stinger can go, and you've got four main event level matches.

If he's healthy, a chasing Daniel Bryan trying to reclaim the Intercontinental title from heel douche bag Owens is a good midcard match.

I'm pretty sure Foley is done, but how awesome would a New Day v Rock n Sock Connection tag title match be?

And better than ever?

and he has to Got a knack, for making things better.

Bischoff would be a great Heymanesque manager for a heel ass Roman Reigns.

face facts cause your opinion don't matta.

this maniac is gonna step on whooomeverrrrrr.

Wish so much that Smackdown would become WCW International
And bring back the WCW International Heavyweight Championship as the main title for the brand.v

Has anyone been watching Xavier Wood's UpUpDownDown show? It's pretty awesome and fun to watch 'em all kicking back and having fun out-of-character. Sandow is hilarious with his raps, and the Street Fighter tournament which ended with one of the Usos getting pelted with a tennis ball was brilliant.

I've heard people talk about Progress Wrestling recently. They have a free show on YouTube. I've been enjoying it so far. It kind of reminds me of EVOLVE, only with some of the guys looking like actual wrestlers.

Mark Haskins looks so much like CM Punk to me. The crowd is chanting "Evil Jesus" at him. Glorious.

Holy shit that was two years ago?!?! Wow!

I remember how awesome it was when Cody finally got his job back, teaming with his brother, and how super over they were when they won the tag titles from the Shield.

I remember that match being the only decent thing on the Battleground show

Them winning the tag titles on Raw afterward was awesome, too. It was all around great simple storytelling. Whoever booked that whole program, please come back.

New record low for the 3 Hour era. In terms of yearly numbers, 700k less viewers compared to same week last year.

Been a recent trend the past couple of weeks with the feed on the big screen getting cut off for those in cheap/bad seats.

Dirtsheets at the time teased the original plans for AJ's "pipe bomb" promo was meant to lead to something big before getting scrapped because a few people complained backstage. Been assumed it was the Bellas since they were visibly upset during the promo itself and lashed out a bit on social media after the show.

Supposedly Rock recently rejected the idea of facing Brock as a possible match option for Mania. Rousey is busy with a film that's being made around the same time as the Road to Mania and Mania 32.

Apparently Daniel Bryan has been cleared for months now by outside doctors but WWE is being incredibly cautious. If they do decide to let him step back in the ring and stall til after Mania it would be such a dumb fucking waste. I wanna see them bring the "I'm cleared and I wanna wrestle!" "Nope, not gonna happen." story to the show and have it build for months before he finally somehow gets a WrestleMania match. Maybe for the IC Title against Owens like Damian Rey said. With the right long build, it could be a HUGE fucking match and put the IC title on display in a major way.

Assuming they wanna take a wait and see approach with Bryan when he comes back, I might even have Owens ruin the party by picking up the shocking win. It would stretch the story out past Mania with The Authority garnering more heat on Bryan by saying "I told you so" and it would make Owens look more badass by robbing the fans' markout moment. It would also bring up the IC title more by having Owens look like a world-beater with it.

I have a bad idea but an idea the fans would eat up. Daniel Bryan returns as a surprise return in the rumble and wins and goes on to face sheamus at wrestle mania for the title

Maybe they're just trying to secure the rights for "The Final Countdown"

Sheamus in the title match at WM would be terrible.

That's extremely sad :(

I really loved these guys as a tag team. I think they should have been stars in the division for a lot longer. I wouldn't have minded them dropping the titles to The Real Americans or something, but The New Age Outlaws were definitely the wrong way to go. I think that at some point, The Usos should have gotten the titles and Rhodes & Goldust could have turned heel on them without the Stardust gimmick and it would have been hot. Alas.
