Trying to remember what the main event of Wrestlemania 32 was, and I seriously can't remember...... drawing a big blank.....
|
Reigns vs Triple H.
|

Oh yeah..............
|
|
I had to stop and think for a while at first myself.
I originally thought it was Lesnar vs Reigns (with Rollins cashing in his MITB) but that was WrestleMania 31. |
Just read first issue of Boom Studios' WWE comic book.......... revealed that HHH did not "ok" Seth Rollins cashing in his Money in the Bank at Wrestlemania, and was not "happy" with Rollins acting without his permission and "slammed him against a wall" when he got backstage and warned him "not to ever go against his wishes again".......
So this Rollins/HHH thing goes back further than we thought...... the tension...... |
Quote:
|
And every time Rollins mentions on RAW about how he missed Wrestlemania last year, I have that instant where I am all "Huh? I have no memory of him missing Wrestlemania"
Basically what I am trying to say is that I seem to barely be able to remember that Wrestlemania 32 occurred, and constantly think of 31 as the last one. |
Rock vs Cena 2 feels like it's gonna be the last WrestleMania main event ever that felt "WrestleMania-worthy". Unless they go Cena vs Taker. The drop-off has just felt insane since and all the part-timers who can bring that genuine "big fight feel" are gonna retire or die soon. Depressing.

Supposedly the WWE is trying to persuade FloSlam to drop EVOLVE from their network as payback for the generosity the WWE has given them. EVOLVE would then move onto the WWE Network instead while also no longer needing to worry about the restrictions WWE has for their indie talent.

What? WrestleMania 30 was good. |

respectfully disagree via story of Daniel Bryan winning title/overcoming Authority finally was a WM-level storyline

I think SummerSlam could and should be held in a 30-40k outdoor stadium to be honest. Lots of soccer stadiums in the U.S. have that capacity, StubHub Center in L.A. and Sporting KC Stadium both come to mind. Quote:
|
Without even getting into whether or not Bryan, Batistia and/or Orton were huge stars who brought a "this is a huge deal" feel like Rock/Cena did... he'd already won the title. That "moment" even happened on a PPV a few months before. So even from that aspect it's kinda overrated.
|
I think #1-wwf-fan might be the most negative person on the boards (which is generally full of negative posters)
|
Am I wrong?
Pretty sure I just voice it more. You pretty much said/implied what I felt when discussing the forgettable nature of the last WrestleMania main event. |
Yeah, a lot of the time
I still like you, though, because I am positive and like everybody |
Even as Mr. Positivity, I wouldn't have to go far back in your posts to find you saying pretty much the same things I've said about shit booking, forgettable, poorly put together storylines, etc. That's saying something.

Royal Rumble next year in Philly.
Probably won't go |
Quote:
Both matches still had the "big fight" feel to them but in different ways. Rock-Cena I & II were stronger in star power but weaker in actual storyline while Mania 30 was weaker in star power but stronger in storyline. |
I hate to break this to you folks but Daniel Bryan is so overrated on these boards its unreal. I dont think anyone gives a damn about him or his history. I wouldnt care at all if he came back. I would laugh or maybe raise an eyebrow i dont know. He was no where near as good as everyone acts like he was. Nor was CM Punk for that matter. It cracks me up to see these posts.

If it does close. Lesnar Goldberg will be a pretty big main event in terms of legitimate star power.
Lesnar Reigns, imo, had a big fight feel. But that was more with Lesnar's aura than anything Reigns was bringing to the match. |
|
Quote:
Something about Lesnar-Goldberg main eventing doesn't do it for me. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's the fact that it's the rematch of a squash. Maybe their first WrestleMania match is still in the back of my mind and this could be a similar situation. It might be the best option sadly though. Reigns vs Lesnar had potential but it ended up basically being a heel vs heel match. Although the match was booked pretty perfectly for Reigns to get over as a face until the end. |
I vaguely remember Daniel Bryants WM Title win. I know it was 3 way, i think HHH was in it, i cant remember the other guy. I'm a huge wrestling fan, and this is what Daniel Bryant is to me and the majority. It's the same reason i laugh when someone tells me Kenny Omega is going to debut in the Royal Rumble. LOL ??? Why? 90% of wrestling fans have no clue who he is. I barely know who he is. What would be the point of debuting him? He's not getting anymore over by being in the RR. It cracks me up.

Let me expand
They should have went nuts with the hot mic Enzo carried. Now its so so. But if they had, they could have pushed him a bit and then they could have slingshot Cass over him with a fued between them and put the prototypical big man up there. But they missed that. Or passed on that. And it dont really make sense. |
Cass is way more ready than Corbin atm. But it comes down to what shows they are on i guess.

Also, I noticed he slipped into doing that English (and also American) thing of referring to the UK as "England".
|
Quote:
Cass is probably a few years away from becoming a potential big star and think if they separate before then, its going to just be a repeat of the Cryme Tyme situation. WWE favored Shad a lot more than JTG but quickly lost all interest in him because his solo run was failing or moving slower than they wanted after the split. |

... Holy shit... I just now realized the irony of that. Mind blown.

Quote:
With Reigns Lesnar, I feel two things hurt it. Number 1, Brock at that point was pretty much a face. He was over as fuck and getting face pops since August the year before. Two is that Reigns was being completely rejected by the crowd. The way the match was though was perfect. Reigns looked good, even though I personally didn't care for the smiling stuff, and Lesnar maintained his monster terminator gimmick while also giving Reigns some shine. It would've been better had Reigns actually gotten the big win and the run of beating Lesnar. If they were dead set on Rollins cashing in, have Lesnar go ape shit on Reigns, or have Rollins sneak in during the celebration and go that route. But still, the felt like a pretty big main event. I will admit Taker Reigns has a big fight feel. Big dog trying to claim the yard. Makes sense, only if Reigns goes over though. Taker doesn't need the win, but Roman does. |

Omega says he will likely sign with New Japan in Feb and will not be at the Royal Rumble ppv. Says do not expect him to show up and be disappointed. He is a known liar, though. So, who knows?

Quote:
Bryan wasn't a "mainstream" star like the Rock or Cena, but he was damn well a star to the majority of wrestling fans. Kids, adults, marks, smarks, they all loved the guy. He was every bit on the level of an HBK, Triple H, or Bret Hart when at his peak and to say otherwise is just laughable. |

Still find it fascinating at how fast WWE managed to torpedo Fandangoing as a popular thing within 2 weeks or so.
Started as just a random thing done because the crowd was really bored during a RAW After Mania show. Managed to spread in popularity outside of wrestling as a new craze. Within a week or two after the WWE gets their hands on it, the whole thing dies off very quickly. Its such a goofy thing to do but somehow WWE's associated stink managed to make it no longer fun to do. |
WWE came off like an old guy who accidentally does something that people find funny or cool and then when he realizes it, he's like "You youngsters like that!?" and then starts doing it on purpose and it's awkward as fuck.
That's the exact feeling I had as soon as Jerry Lawler came out on Raw like "You guys hear about this Fandangoing craze!?" |
Quote:
|
Nothing more than just something fun and goofy to do at events. Believe it was already being done at a few sporting events as a victory celebration prior to the WWE trying to claim it as their own.
Any real payoff would have been the WWE doing its best to capitalize on it as a potential start for making Fandango into a bigger star than he ended up becoming afterwards. Doesn't even need to be in the main event or mega star tier in order to be considered as a success. |
The problem with Goldberg/Lesnar to me is that the story was "How will Brock react after being embarrassed?" Well it's literally no different than any other Brock appearance. To sell this, Brock needed to be an out of his mind, urgent, uncontrollable killer. Nastier than ever.
Instead, we're getting the slow paced beatdowns, staredowns, etc. The 2015 suspension angle with Rollins after WM31 was good stuff, and that's the kind of segment that belonged the night after Survivor Series to sell how Brock had completely snapped. In short, the picture doesn't match the story here. |
Quote:
Anyway, I'd agree with Bryan not being mainstream, but that applies to most guys. I'd put Bryan in the same spot as Triple H in terms of star power, at least before the retirement. Punk got a tad bit higher, but overall I think both men got cut short. I honestly believe given time both could have reached much farther. |
Also looking like they are planting seeds for the AJ/Shane feud, since AJ has spoke about how Shane is against him as Champion.
Styles defends in the Chamber, lasts the final 3 with Orton and Wyatt who beat him down with a few hope spots mixed in. Orton/Wyatt agreed pre-match to take out the field first, then fight, but immediately after the Abigail/RKO spot, Bray Abigails Orton to eliminate him. Then Wyatt eliminates Styles for the belt. Orton's hot, earns match at Mania against his former leader. Styles, on the transition to becoming a full-fledged babyface, calls bullshit on the Chamber and the way he was treated by management. Sets up a street fight with Shane. |
Also feel like Samoa Joe is going to screw over Cena on Sunday. I'm sure it's been posted before so don't wanna take credit. Feel like Vito may have. Anyway, Cena vs. Joe has money all over it. Joe is one of the last true heels around, alongside Miz.
Add Taker/Roman for the Universal, Jericho/Owens, and HHH/Rollins |

I got 24/25.
I was stumped on 20. I read up on the PPV and I have absolutely no recollection of that PPV. It did happen around the time when I was really not interested in the product and was so close to not watching WWE TV again, so that's probably why I can't remember it. |
Quote:

Pretty much any of the Hogan, Austin, Rock ones. And a few of the Cena ones. Basically the ones that had huge stars in it. I'd even say Batista vs HHH was worthy at the time because it actually seemed like it would be the birth of a "face of the company" and not just a main event that is interchangeable with the main event of any other PPV.

Between Batista vs HHH and Cena vs Rock?
|
Yeah, and the 3 years before Batista vs HHH.
|
No. I said "and a few of the Cena ones".
|
Which ones?
|
lol Cena vs HHH was a pretty big deal. Cena vs HBK, even though HBK is my favorite of all time, felt kinda lacking. I can see the point being made either way. HBK seemed pretty set as the guy there to put everyone else over at that point which was obviously what he was there to do. Made the match feel like less of a big deal. I could also see an argument being made for HBK's retirement match.
|
As for the three years prior, Hogan vs Rock SHOULD have been. I think most of us agree putting Jericho vs HHH on as the main event was a bad idea for the exact reason I've been talking about.

WWE looks as if they've tried to reward him a bit with this break out feud with Rusev, but it's really not enough. He deserves a little more. They got to get him going towards the top somehow. They cant let the dude turn bland and then decide to push him.
|
"the whole storyline was supposed to lead to the debut of Scott Vick (formerly WCW's Sick Boy) as Katie's avenging brother. Instead, the reception was so bad that WWE decided to abandon the entire thing altogether. HHH beat Kane, Katie Vick was never brought up again, and Scott Vick was let go without ever making it to TV."
Never heard this about the Katie Vick angle before. |
Give him the battle royal win, and a shot at the US title as the prize. Build him up to cash in for the belt at the next brand exclusive show and then have him go on a tear.

They've had plenty of opportunities where they could have done something with Fandango (including dropping the gimmick and actually pushing him because he's a fucking prototypical WWE superstar under it all... Fuck this company.) |
Based on most of the "rumored plans" stuff I think I have WM figured out.
Rumble winner - Orton AJ Styles retains Owens retains Charlotte Retains HHH gets eliminated by Seth Rollins Gallows and Anderson win Tag Titles Stroman eliminates Undertaker Bray Wyatt wins the WWE title at Elimination Chamber (vs Cena Ambrose Styles Corbin and Ziggler) Samoa Joe debuts and attacks Cena. Goldberg beats Owens at Fast lane when Jericho interference backfires. Finn Balor returns at Fast lane to help Gallows and Anderson retain vs Sheamus/Cesaro AJ Styles is pissed off at Shane McMahon for making him defend the title in EC. The Miz is pissed at Daniel Bryan for not including him in the EC match... Nikki Bella wins a SD Women's Championship Elimination Chamber match Wrestlemania 33 Card Goldberg © vs Lesnar Main Event Universal Title Bray Wyatt © vs Randy Orton WWE Title Chris Jericho © vs Kevin Owens US Title New Day vs The Club (Gallows Anderson and Balor) AJ Styles & The Miz vs Daniel Bryan & Shane McMahon Nikki Bella © vs Mickie James SD Women's Title Charlotte © vs Sasha Banks Raw Women's Title John Cena vs Samoa Joe Braun Strowman vs Undertaker HHH vs Seth Rollins Big Show vs Shaq -- 8 man Cobrand MITB Match Reigns vs Sheamus vs Cesaro vs Rusev vs Dean Ambrose vs Dolph Ziggler vs Luke Harper vs Baron Corbin (I couldn't figure how to get all of them on the card and it makes sense to have MITB be on a cobrand ppv vs having it be SD only) |
