Just have Bryan beat Reigns and then have Reigns face Rollins and Ambrose in a Triple Threat Match. The way it should have been.

From a recent WWE.com article about 5 fantasy matchups involving Lesnar.

Someone is going to get punished for suggesting the WWE do anything with Cesaro. I kid. But it's weird to think of Brock and Bray Wyatt having a similar stature for some reason.

God I miss this version and wish they'd use it on Kidd/Cesaro.

Was it the titty master that hacked Rollins acxounts ?

Dirtsheets now with 100% more Rollins dong-related news:

Quote:

According f4wonline, There is a rumor circulating around WWE that Vince McMahon is looking to alter the Dean Ambrose gimmick slightly going into his feud with Bad News Barrett, giving it a more ''Cool, Vegas gambler'' type edge.

Take it with a grain of salt since so far the report hasn't been verified nor denied yet by those with actual F4W/Observer sub accounts.

It appears there will be no heat within WWE on Rollins for the incident. WWE officials believe that Rollins' social media accounts were "obviously" hacked. WWE officials felt that because the photo was re-posted several times after he initially deleted it, that he wasn't the culprit.

WWE issued a memo to the roster after last night's RAW and requested that they do not discuss or make reference to the situation publicly because doing so would be "insensitive" to Rollins.

WWE is planning to induct former AWA World champion Larry Zbyszko into the 2015 WWE Hall of Fame, PWInsider.com has learned.

Quote:

Raw did a surprisingly low 3.66 million viewers last night, a drop of 14 percent with no real answer as to why.

Some would think the debut of Better Call Saul would have hurt, but that only went against the third hour, and the third hour held up better than it has in recent weeks.

It's also bad because it was clearly implied in he opening segment that Sting would be appearing on a show to give an answer to HHH's challenge, even though he wasn't there.

The three hours were:
8 p.m. 3.79 million viewers
9 p.m. 3.67 million viewers
10 p.m. 3.52 million viewers

There has only been one show in the last three years not during football season that did worse, and that went against huge sports competition that this show didn't face.

There's no spinning, this is a bad number, and unlike most, one that doesn't have an obvious explanation past the potential of it just being a fluke.

According to another forum that broke down the third hour, RAW had slighlty more overall viewers than Better Call Saul (around 100k more) did but got hammered in the valuable 18-49 age group (0.4 ratings lower).

Rest is from a recent Q&A session Triple H had about NXT:

Quote:

WWE executive Paul "Triple H" Levesque announced his goal to make NXT a separate touring brand by late 2015 or early 2016. Levesque said during a conference call with the pro wrestling media on Tuesday that he would ultimately like to see the brand running live events every weekend.

Quote:

Obviously, Itami is progressing through his language barrier faster than say, Khali, Yoshi Tatsu, and Sin Cara did during their time in WWE, but he's definitely got a ways to go until that "lightbulb goes off" as HHH says. What do you think about Itami's progression through NXT? And how do you see his future as a WWE superstar, especially if Vince is still around when he makes it to the main roster?

Original plan was for him to only spend a short amount of time in NXT then get promoted to the main roster.

Quote:

Dave Meltzer said he had a bunch of question and he knows he has to go down to two. He was asked about pushing women, mentioning Ronda Rousey. Meltzer said that they made her a big deal from the start and it was hard to recap as he kind of talked over H until H countered that she didn’t come out of nowhere. She made her name in Strikeforce and UFC took noticed and pushed her. She wasn’t working at a fast food place or something. H said that Charlotte has been at the top of the card in NXT and she is one of the main events. He will give the people want.

Quote:

Jason Powell asked about the noticeable difference with how the women are booked in NXT vs. WWE. Will it change on the main roster or is it just H’s vision vs. Vince?

H said it’s a mix of both. He said that they have a little different audience at NXT vs. the main roster. There are more casual fans of WWE and it takes a while to change perceptions, but he thinks they are doing that. It will take time to do it, but he thinks they will get there. He thinks that the world is looking at women differently, mentioning Ronda Rousey, and he thinks that will carry over to WWE. He is proud of women like Charlotte and Sasha.

Quote:

He was asked about recruiting athletes from other sports, are there new guys that he thinks they have something here. Meltzer mentioned Chad Gable. H laughed and said he is always evaluating the roster because it could get stripped by Vince at any time. He said he has an elite group, a next level group, then the talent in waiting group and finally the beginners. There is competition on every level. He said that they have somewhere between 65 and 70 people right now. He likes to be 65 to 100. 70 to 80 is very comfortable for him.

Raw's ratings are low? Obviously Daniel Bryan's fault. :roll:

I'm actually really looking forward to Ambrose vs. Barrett. I think those men could have really good chemistry, and that their characters will have a good dynamic. Ambrose also seems a good fit for the IC Title at this point.

Ambrose and barret coukd catch fire and be a big mid card feud that the wwe hasnt had in a long time.

Now with only one main title and two mid card titles is the time it can become vauable again. The us champ is un defeated and fighting cena. The ic title could be a big deal again as well. Brock needs to keep the championship away.

Franchise say something stupid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5m2I4i7Ueo

So we actually got what we wanted, Rusev is defending his title apparently.

Unless this is old news. Then carry on.

I guess it's old news, but it wasn't announced straight away, right? I know I was pretty vocal on here about it not being defended. Glad it is. Whether Cena wins it or not, having the #1 guy gunning for it kinda makes it seem more important than it really is.

Probably not. I haven't really followed the angle to be honest. Just the same generic angle with Cena, and I'm still not completely sold on Rusev.

Completely irrelevant nugget of joy by Rammsteinmad there.

It'll end in either dq or countout since Cena almost never taps out and Rusev to the best of my knowledge has never won via pinfall. The match at Mania will then either be I quit or Submission only with no dq/countouts. They could create another 21-1 if Rusev gets Cena to quit or tap out. Or more likely Cena wins but they could still play up Rusev never being pinned.

It doesn't matter really. Whether it's at Wrestlemania or Extreme Rules, the end result will be Cena winning.

Last time Cena tapped out was No Way Out 2004 to Kurt Angle

Before that he tapped out to Benoits crossface on Sd in december of 2003

Before that he tapped out to Angle at No Mercy in 2003

So in a 4 month span he tapped out 3 times and hasnt done so since

idk, maybe because I watch like one wrestling event a month

Also helps that only a couple of guys have a submission as their finisher or go to move.

One someone manages to break Rusev's Accolade, its going to end up just like Del Rio's cross arm-breaker. Move that gets built up as a really big deal during regular shows but becomes mostly non-exietsnt or treated as a regular move during ppvs.

Next episode of 5 Things looks at the men who have beaten Goldberg.

Gonna throw out my prediction and share some useless wrestling trivia that if I remember correctly the only men with victories over Goldberg are Kevin Nash, Bret Hart, Booker T, Scott Steiner, Lex Luger (and Buff Bagwell) and Triple H. None of them were clean victories either.

And that's six men... but whatever.

Rewatching some old ECW tapes today while I work. MAN, the Eliminators/Gordy/Doc match was bad. If it wasn't for Saturn's elbow off the scaffold, this match would be completely unmemorable other than for how bad all four guys worked it.

I don't usually watch Botchamania since they're not really that funny anymore and full of annoying editing, but I caught this one and the Barrett/Jericho story from 11.00 in is pretty hilarious.
