I'm still hoping that the finish to the Becky/Mickie match is Mickie teasing the pussy grab, only for Becky to counter it into the Dis-Arm-Her.
|
HBK teased he would consider having a one night comeback from retirement if Samoa Joe was picked to be his opponent for the match. Not interested in anyone else but him.

* Cena vs. Taker
* Reigns vs. Goldberg * Styles vs. Angle * Michaels vs. Joe * Brock vs. Shane * Triple H vs. Rollins |
Cool card except the Brock vs Shane match. Really, REALLY don't want to see that happen (or any Shane match ever again honestly.)
|
Man Samoa Joe beating HBK at Mania would be a great way to get him started on the main roster. Yes please.

That being said, after doing some thinking yesterday, I've decided that my preferred route for WrestleMania is to scrap Triple H vs. Rollins and instead have Triple H sponsor Brock for a match against Rollins. The idea is that Goldberg has the Universal Title match and Brock wants the first shot if Goldberg wins, but Triple H holds the shot over his head in order to get him to destroy Rollins. New theme music and tights for Rollins at WrestleMania. Something similar to Hiroshi Tanahashi. Seth is confident in his ability to take on Lesnar, and as a wrestling babyface people should get behind him. At Mania he finds a way to beat The Beast, proving that he is someone that your average WWE fan can truly get behind. Brock then turns face (no one really wants to boo the guy) by snapping on Triple H who refuses to give him a title shot. Brock destroys Triple H at the next PPV. If you really want to put Seth over, that's a better way to do it. Seth beats Brock in a competitive match. "Oh, Brock must not have it anymore." Wrong, he can still kill dudes like Triple H with relative ease. Seth is just that fucking good. But this operation isn't really about putting Seth over, is it? |

She can get away with saying something like that based on how pretty she looks.

New season of Survivor begins tomorrow, we have the lowest turnout so far since I took over so go on over and pick a guy. DaveWadding, Savio, Gertner & SMeatball are our most consistent contestants, CyNick got 3rd place on his first try, but how would the Noids and Newsteads of TPWW fair?

I noticed before but it never really hit me until just now... 205 live is live AFTER Smackdown. For the people who watch, can you actually see people leaving the arena during the show? Seems like such a horrible idea that I would have seen discussed more.

they should just produce it like NXT

then again it wouldn't work cuz cruisers scrap on RAW

The writing staff is yet to figure out the recipe to gain the attention of the masses as far as 205 Live and the Cruiserweight presentation on RAW are concerned. The purple ropes and lighting aren't doing much for the general audience either. I'm worried that they're going to get relegated to the "piss break" segment of the show. |

It's Hunter's "brainchild". While hardcore fans salivate to whatever Hunter has to offer, the mainstream audience hasn't necessary been receptive. If he weren't under the WWE umbrella, he'd be no better than ECW or any other indie fed like ROH.
I really want one of Hunter's projects to succeed at a "mainstream level". Hence, I don't want them to give up on 205 Live just yet. NXT wasn't always what it is today. |
I think also a point Gertner made rings true. There's nothing actually unique about how those guys work , because the "heavyweights" all work that style now too.
So they just see these 5'8" 170 pound seemingly "average joes" and it's not particularly interesting. There needs to be something other than being smaller and having a different set to differentiate these guys, and the style needs to be more exciting. Have wild cruiser matches that wet the pallet for the main events. |

Gertner's correct that the cruiserweights work the same as the heavyweights and there is less emphasis on size than ever before. But more so than that, the personalities are bland and no one gives a shit because they all came in at the same time.
* Jack Gallagher has actually shown some personality and does some different stuff in the ring. It's working for now, but the problem will be when people get sick of seeing it. * Cedric Alexander is passive as his girlfriend makes out with other men. Sure, we live in a new age, but generally speaking, being a "cuck" isn't going to make a dude look good to your average wrestling fan. * Rich Swann likes to dance and looks for pity because his life was hard. * TJ Perkins loves video games and dabs. Pretty annoying. * Brian Kendrick is good at talking and in the ring, and his desperate Revanant Leonardo Spanky gimmick was interesting, but then he won and lost the title already. The one interesting guy is Neville because he is ruthless and looks like a fucking star out there with the no-marks. The best thing they could do is have him kill Swann and let him run with the Cruiserweight Title as you bring in your next wave of guys who can make themselves off the backs of the guys that haven't worked out -- Akira Tozawa, Kota Ibushi, Gran Metalik and, eventually, Kalisto. |
I think you have to pull an RVD in ECW on the cruiserweight division. What i mean by that is make the cruiserweight championship matches something to look forward to by creating a fighting champion. Give Neville the title and build intrigue by having him defeat every challenger for like a year, give them 15 to 20 minutes every night to get over. Eventually, when another guy starts to get over, you build him as the ultimate challenger and build to the big title switch.

I get the issues with the CW division; the tournament was brilliant as these guys went out and wailed on each other in a much more hard-hitting style than the main roster, however, at that point these guys aren't WWE contracted talent, there's no storylines built around them, and do you know what? If they get injured we bring a sub in.
Now they're regularly paid members of the roster filling spots on Raw and now their own show in 205Live. If they get injured now they're getting their downside from the company and not adding to the product. Furthermore, if Kendrick and Alexander go out there and kick the shit out of each other using stiff shots and high risk moves in the 3rd match of the night they're going to "out perform" the top of the card. Casuals will question that the cruisers look like they really hit each other, while Rollins/Reigns/Jericho/Owens in the main event look phoney. That's not a good look. That's the business sense. From a fan's enjoyment POV I'd like to see them do something with the CW to differentiate them from the rest of the card (not just different ropes). Perhaps you mould the division into a "league" where matches are worth points leading to a play-off for #1 Contendership, meanwhile the champ can have the odd exhibition match where he looks strong. This makes every match worth something as there's always something on the line. PPV wins could be worth more than Raw wins, a 205Live main event win could come with a bonus. You could even have whoever is bottom of the league "relegated" for a "season", where they go to NXT or, if you've soured on them, back to the indies. |
Or send them out to a new WWEUK show, or one of your associated British groups.

The only times I can recall the division being presented as serious pants business is when a) WWF tried to build a LH division around TAKA... and then seemed to forget about it in a couple of months, and when Gregory Helms was a champion without a division... so it fizzled out in a couple of months. Historically, "cruiserweight" calibur guys quickly descend to jobber, a comedy act, or Heat/Jakked/Metal/Superstars duty (or essentially all the same hell), and decades of that has conditioned the crowd to think that only. Now, youre suddenly asking everyone to not only take them seriously, but devote an additional hour of an already self-saturated market to watching them. Its a big ask. |
I finished watching 2009 Chikara today. The reveal for the BDK might still be one of my favorite things in wrestling. It's incredible how Chikara is always able to interweave all their storylines together.

Did someone say something about Eddie and Rey being treated like top guys in the Cruiserweight Division? I wouldn't dare feed a troll, but someone should point out that Eddie and Rey were never treated like big deals within the Cruiserweight Division in WWE. In fact, Eddie was never in it.

Totally agree. Neville should hold the belt for a long time, defeating every challenger clean. Wait until one of the faces starts to get hot, then switch it over.
With the cruiserweights having there own show, it doesn't even have to be that long, he just needs to defend his championship every second show or so and win a clusterfuck multi-man match at Mania quite handily to retain.... |

There seems to be a lot of people who don't think that they're going to do Dolph Ziggler vs. Jerry Lawler, but I'd actually really like to see it. They also seem to be roping JBL in it, but I'd like to see King get back in there if he's healthy enough. He seems adamant that the heart problem was caused by the impact. It'd have a different flavor for WrestleMania -- an old school Memphis brawl feel. It'd be a good way to send King off. Have Ziggler beat him with a Heartbreak Kick.

Also, I don't want Tye Dillinger to be #10 in the Royal Rumble. I want him to be #11 and come out and toss out #10 for stealing "his spot."

Have it be someone like Jinder Mahal. I'd suggest Titus O'Neil, but I think he's a bit too shit to sell the moment well.

Dillinger at #10 almost feels too predictable to be considered a surprise entry.

Quote:
If the crowd is as smarky as I think it could be, he'll get heat when he walks out at #10. Then Dillinger can eliminate him at #11 to a huge pop. Sets the wheels in motion for a good feud, too. |

So my friend gave me his WWE Network log in so I can watch the royal rumble on Sunday. I was flicking through it last night and jeeeeesus it has so much content.
How do you people who love wrestling so much more than me ever get anything done? It genuinely seems amazing. Anyone that's crazy into wrestling could spend their entire free time watching the network and barely even scratch the surface of what's available. |
My few hours of leisure time each weeknight after work/the gym are usually spent playing video games, sports, or rasslin' (Raw/SmackDown, or something on the Network if the product is in a down period).
I actually cancelled my Netflix account because I just can't seem to find time to watch anything else without giving up something else I don't want to give up. As it is there's so much shit on the Network I want to watch and probably never will have the time to be able to. |

I remember it. Also remember Kurt Angle versus Mark Henry for the WHC closing the show with the Undertaker returning to end the show.

Okay, i was looking at the progress that has been made in WWE as far as the Women's Division. So WWE has had them in Hell in a Cell and Main events of shows, if WWE want to keep closing the gap of WWE Women and Male Wrestlers, have the Women compete against the men.I know it seems a bit crazy yet, but Wouldn't mind seeing Women compete in the Royal Rumble and win it and go for the WWE title.
|
Alexa vs John Cena in an INFERNO match.

Not happening anytime soon.. Pretty sure Triple H went on record saying he doesn't feel the fan base is ready for women to start competing with the men. I'd have to say I agree with him. It'd be a big jump.

Charlotte vs Seth Rollins could be a good match if they were to chance a one-time deal. Just to see how the crowd reacts to the potential idea and if it is well received , keep slowly building from there. |
Watching 92 rumble
Volkoff reminds me of Mojo Rawley |
|
So after seeing SmackDown Live this week can someone please remind me again how Cena is supposed to be a face? Like seriously, everything about his promo and mannerisms screams heel. If literally anyone else said the stuff he did they'd get booed out the building. WWE really needs to sort their shit out. Also, what was up with him busting out the rapper persona? Just felt... weird.
|
http://www.pwponderings.com/wp-conte...16/01/yano.png
Real reason is just the WWE being too afraid to actually turn Cena heel because they are that scared of his merch sales going down. One of the really bad side effects of revolving the company solely around one guy for over a decade while ignoring building up others to be his equal or near equal in status. Him being the arrogant gatekeeper and constant shrug of his opponents being worthless would work way better if he was a heel. Especially when his opponents keep bringing up valid points against Cena and his antics. |

Looks like Christian on the night he got drafted to Raw for the first time.

It sure was.
He said the line during his "diss rap" (or whatever the kids call it these days) on Christian. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/URSA1uC9Bes?start=525&end=690" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
I was so happy to see Christian get main event status... Then I stopped watching WWE for a while and watched TNA like a good little peep.
|
I am sure I mentioned this before, but the problem with burying a guy's or girl's accomplishments is this: if you beat a nobody, who cares? You beat a nobody. If you lose to a nobody, why should I care about you? You lost to a nobody.
I mean, is it that difficult to understand that you have to make people care about the outcome? *looks at the lack of attendance and ratings.* I guess so. |
With a PPV in a couple days, Poit's last day on here was over a month ago. Pretty much the last thing he did was post the final 2016 Tipsters standings (and he won) but he hasn't logged on since.
I dunno, they stopped doing the podcasts a while ago and most of the TLP had left.....think Poit might've been waiting to wrap up the Tipsters year before leaving himself. Unless someone else takes up the mantle I'm guessing there will be no Tipsters this year. |

So at the rumple will we get Berg/UT/Lesner/Braun/Show/Henry/Kane in the ring at once and if so will it collapse under the weight

I think its funny WWE..WWF in 1997 could sell out the Alamo dome but 2017 WWE can't.

Was just "assuming" that Poit would swoop in and show up........ feel like he rarely posts anymore, but seemed to always reappear to do Tipsters...... But yeah, he could be "not bothering" with it this year..... |
