Even though reports were that she dumped him because she got irritated with his shenanigans, Nikki Bella seems to have possibly developed a distributing obsession with Cena.

Even though she's mentioned in countless interviews about being in a new direction in her life, seems she actually hasn't let go of him. Gotten to the point where she admitted to contacting him whenever she goes on a date just to tell him how it went. Also going to therapy to help her jealously issues.

Meanwhile, Cena seems to be more at peace of their relationship being over.

That’s a really weird situation.

Usually men have it harder when it comes to breakups. This is an interesting development.

Hahhahaha his hero? Doubt that

Vince McMahon in 1993 Memphis cutting a heel promo and getting involved in a Jerry Lawler match. Pretty cool.

Nah, despite WWE's penchant for running storylines/gimmicks with racial overtones, plenty of people within the company have said MLK is a genuine inspiration to Vince. Which is why they do a tribute for him to open Raw every year.

Yeah, I think it was Rico who said something disparaging about MLK Day, and things were never the same for him.

Comments on this post are funny.

I'm sure it's a funny joke, but I don't get it. I just see a picture of Shawn Michaels.

EDIT: I can see it now. Computer issues.

Found something pretty interesting while searching WWE trademarks for a sheets report.

Apparently WWE's trademark for WCW expires this July unless a new one gets approved beforehand.

Also one of the trademarks for WWE's name also expires around this March.

According to Post Wrestling, John Cena's ankle injury is fake and them announcing it off screen was their backup plan due to Lars Sullivan's current health issues. Original plan was for Lars to attack Cena prior to the Rumble as a way to write Cena off the event and kick start their Mania feud.

Being speculated that if Cena ever got hurt for real in the ring, movie studios would quickly ban him from wrestling again like they did for The Rock.

I wonder how the Hard Rock is doing in Atlanta...DT Indy one is set to close.

:yes:

I'm hopeful that Kurt Angle wins the Royal Rumble and challenges Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania. I remember watching The Greatest Royal Rumble when those two were in the ring thinking "this has to happen at WrestleMania now." They haven't touched each other since.

Have they actually built anyone up to win this years Royal Rumble? For that reason alone I think Kurt Angle might actually be a good possibility to win this thing.

God no. Angle needs to not be wrestling anymore.

What is Undertaker doing in the Impact Zone?

Anyone else would be fired for that.

the guy works once a year. Hard to really call him employed. More like a high priced freelancer

Taker was the stooge all along??

You know what I mean! :p

BTE is gonna do something with that pic I know it.

Posted it in another thread but G1 Supercard at MSG might be fucked along with the DDT and Stardom shows that weekend. The Japanese guys can't be on the US New Beginning shows, hundreds of people already delayed and backlogged in getting their visas and who knows when or if this thing will end.

Ticket prices for the show were no joke, and now it might end up being a glorified ROH show. Terrible.

Says who? Roh does multiple tours per year with New Japan stars, the last being in October I think. I doubt everyones visas all expired or they all got delayed.

You may be right about the other two shows as they don't appear in the states as regularly.

While I don't know what work visa they are on, they generally don't last for more than 6 months to a year, and apparently New Japan renews them in bulk. Maybe not everyone will miss out, but I think a lot of them will.

For their sake I hope the big three can at least be clear.

Sean Mooney dm'd me on Facebook asking if I've checked out his new patreon page yet and I don't have th heart to tell him his podcast stinks lol

V excited 4 TAKEOVER on Saturday.

Fell many weeks behind in NXT so I don't even know any of the matches or stories.

I'm still excited for it.

Royal Rumble card actually looks really good. Which is in its own way kind of disappointing, because you know most of those matches aren't going to get the time they deserve.

The Royal Rumble is probably going to be the only WWE show I watch all year and even then I'll probably just watch the Rumbles.

Have very little excitement for the rumbles this year. Dunno why but I just have this feeling that there isn't going to be any good surprises, and I cant think of anyone I care about winning.

Royal Rumble has the potential to be one of the best WWE PPVs in years.

He was just there to play bingo.

As long as AJ vs Bryan, and Asuka vs Becky get a proper amount of time for their matches , then I'll be happy.

Hopefully they prove my hunch wrong when it comes to the rumble.

Could be really fun with some surprises. I’d like to see Shawn Michaels show up.

Shawn Michaels is done, man.

First look at the Royal Rumble stage. Wrestlers entering from the dugout, which is covered by video screens, with a curved walkway to the ring and a tron above the ring.

https://i.imgur.com/0Dt9J38.jpg

Surprise entrants will be the same old same old. Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, Goldust, Jim Duggan etc. Would be awesome to get some legit random surprises in there, Ken Shamrock, John Morrison, Mr. Kennedy, I'm just throwing out the first names that come to mind.

I would legitimately mark out if it were Morrison or Kennedy. I'd jump out of my seat if it were MVP. Give me something unexpected, WWE. I am somewhat expecting The Dream to be one of the surprises.

Going to make some random predictions on the last ten guys.

1. Shawn Michaels. Gives him a chance to interact with a bunch of guys at once.

2. Kurt Angle. I can just see him trying to get more in on Baron Corbin. And they are going to be loading up this show. How he gets eliminated will be interesting, since I can’t see him taking a major bump.

3. Lucha House Party. We’ve had one guy enter three times, but we’ve never had three guys enter as one.

4. Jimmy Uso. Here comes the Ax.

5. Jey Uso. Here comes the Smasher.

6. Matt Hardy. Probably while Jeff is in the ring.

7. Shelton Benjamin. I think they want a bunch of black people in. And this could continue the old joke of Shawn Michaels eliminating him. I’d mark for a re-do of the springboard into the Sweet Chin Music spot.

8. Braun Strowman. You know he’s going to be in.

9. The Miz. I can see Miz entering and going a little while so he can enter the tag match already exhausted.

10. Curtis Axel. To Real American. Nah, just kidding — EC3.

Dude

My predictions for the last 10:

-Bobby Roode
-Bray Wyatt
-Braun Strowman
-Chad Gable
-EC3
-Kane (one last Rumble before retirement)
-Kurt Angle
-Rusev
-Shinsuke Nakamura
-Velveteen Dream

Idea for Titus. Instead of him running to the ring and having him do some stupid pratfall, they should have one of those old school carts that they used to drive him to the ring in the early Wrestlemanias

I could totally see Titus doing that pratfall spot again, good call

Would be cool if Lio Rush eliminated Braun Strowman

I like how WWE have no idea how to be subtle. Titus has worked one match on Raw (a battle royal) since August, yet he's now randomly put into the Rumble and it's so clear it's just to do the same gag he's already done.

I wonder if LARS will debut and get that spot of big dude who eliminates a lot of other dudes

WWE likes to take things that happen organically and beat it into the ground, so you totally know it's happening.

especially when it has passed it's peak.

Can't wait for Michael Cole's fake laughter during the segment

Also looking forward to every time we get a surprise entrant Cole yelling "OH MY, IS IT, COULD IT BE, IT IS"

In terms of Rumbles I enjoyed watching when they happened, 2012 has held up the worst. You had seven mystery entrants (Ricardo Rodriguez, Kharma, Lawler, Booker, Cole, Duggan, Road Dogg), a previously announced special appearance from Foley, and Ziggler and Big Show were in despite having world title opportunities earlier in the show.

But when you look at the other 20 entrants, there are just so many nondescript undercard guys. Alex Riley, Justin Gabriel, Primo and Epico, David Otunga, early Jinder Mahal, and Jey Uso but not Jimmy Uso.

The surprise entrants were fun in the moment, but watching back it really just highlights how weak the roster was at the time.

What's great is the same people marking out over a surprise entrant from the past are the same people bitching about part timers taking up spots at Wrestlemania.

To be fair a bit, the main difference is how WWE handles it.

For the Rumble, part-timers usually don't have a major role in the match itself beyond being a nice surprise for the crowd and some crowd pleasing spots. Also usually are just replacing spots that would have went to low tier stars. Only Rumbles in recent years where WWE mishandled things was 2014 with Batista winning and the first Women's Rumble because McCool and the Bellas had way too much focus in it.

For Mania, WWE's biggest problem is having part-timers constantly hog up the marquee or notable spots on the card when that would have been more useful as a rub for some of their regular stars.

It's still taking away a PPV pay day from a regular.

True.

Not sure how pay breaks down for the Rumble itself outside of maybe the Final 4 and winner but I'd assume its a lesser evil than locking away "main event" level spots that have a much higher pay to part-timers.

Eh, I think that's a generalization. I don't mind the part-timers and I don't honestly care who we get in the Rumble. Do people still get bonuses for PPVs?

If the women are main-eventing this year's Wrestlemania, I want to see Daniel Bryan versus Rey Mysterio or Daniel Bryan versus Shinsuke Nakamura.

Both those matches would be fucking sick. I've seen the Bryan/Mysterio picking up steam around the place, not that that necessarily means its any more or less likely.

We had Diesel in 2011. I'd love to see Razor Ramon one more time. I'm sure he's well enough to pull it off. also Jake Roberts would be a great surprise. DDT a few jobbers , clear the ring with a snake.

Introduce Sonjay Dutt as the third Singh brother :yes:

Yes, more teaming people up because of their race. NEW ERA!

I just realized that Ranjin Singh and the Singh brothers might be related or something (kayfabe).

You're mocking the idea and not its likeligood, right?

More like it's just the default name WWE gives to Indian talent

A counterpoint to my own observation - ridiculous and detrimental to the main roster as it was, at least stuff was constantly happening.

Many recent Rumbles have been stacked with "important" people the company feels the need to protect and it leads to a pretty standard formula. Someone comes in, gets a shine, then stands around in the corner and does nothing until it's time to be eliminated.

UNCAGED 7 RELEASED
