Yeah, the massive pops he got as a face were a bad sign.

List grows to 5

I gotta agree with Fan here, dude. Ryback was right up there with Daniel Bryan and CM Punk as the most over faces the WWE had seen since Cena. The big guy could have been WWE's next big thing if they hadn't botched the fuck out of it.

I never liked him either..... Lefort was trained by Lance Storm, seems like he could have had a shot as a jobber on Superstars and as a mouthpiece for a "foreign" heel a la Frenchy Martin.

No one cares who you liked because in the end all wrestling fans are so fickle nothing will please them.

Not true. If Vince would die I wouldn't just be pleased, I'd be elated.

lol ryback was over pretty big but he was nowhere near bryan's level of popularity.

He wasn't as big as Bryan, no, but who was? I said he was among the three biggest faces the WWE had seen since Cena, not that he was the biggest of those three.

They got impatient with Ryback and pushed him into a zone he wasn't ready to occupy. Then he lost to Mark Henry at WrestleMania. Seriously, what the fuck? The heel turn sucked and the best thing he ever did was team with Curtis Axel. They turned him face, and it looked like he might be cool again, but that lost steam and the WWE actually kayfabe fired him, as if to say "this guy doesn't matter to our bottom-line."

Random thought: I'd rather see black trunk killer Ryback against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania than Triple H vs. Reigns. Have Ryback become the personal hitman for Vince McMahon, who fawns over what a sexy specimen he is. Show Vince working out with Ryback in the gym. Bring up Ryback's desire to be at the top and drawing vision boards as a reason for him "selling out." Have Ryback kill The Usos in singles matches heading into Mania, with Vince dancing around ringside as he does it.

Reigns and Ryback beat the piss out of each other at Mania, and Vince gets Scott Armstrong out to do something screwy when it looks like Reigns is FINALLY going to put Ryback away. The Rock then gets involved and gives a Rock Bottom to Ryback, leading to a new referee counting the pin. Ryback then spends the next few months calling out The Rock and telling him that if he ever sets foot in his WWE again, he'll kill him dead.

Lunch break.

Given that she's not doing anything on the main roster at the moment, I'd like to see Becky Lynch beat Paige to set her up as a major contender for the Divas Title heading into WrestleMania. Paige then takes some time off from the main roster and shows up in NXT and has a backstage segment with William Regal, where she tries to "charm" her way back into an NXT position.

Paige returns to her old stomping ground, where everything is different. The interactions between Paige and Emma would be brilliant. Asuka vs. Paige would be a great match; and you could surely milk Paige vs. Bayley too. You could have Eva Marie beat Paige with some help from Nia Jax, setting up Paige vs. Nia Jax, and giving Eva Marie something to brag about until the end of time.

During this period, Charlotte, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch and eventually Natalya and Bayley are given a chance to run all over RAW and SmackDown, meanwhile Paige is becoming fresh for a post-SummerSlam return or something. Factor her in for major plans at WrestleMania 33.

Happy Saturday mornin everyone.

Got em.

Paragon Pro had a midget match this week. Huggy Cub defeated Cowboy Kid Quick.

Your new NXT Champion, Triple H!

They can rest him up fairly easily at least. There's no more NXT tapings until the next Takeover show, so as long as he's able to compete by the end of March, it's fine.

Next Takeover show is April 1st. Have they really already filmed that far ahead? Jesus.

They did two tapings within about a week of each other for some reason. The UCF tapings from Rumble weekend covered most of February and maybe one week of March followed by a Full Sail taping a week later which takes them up to Takeover.

Yeup. Learned from last year's mistake of trying to follow a normal schedule during Road to Mania only led to stuff being rushed in the end.

Unlike this year, the WWE refused to allow a NXT Takeover to happen near Mania and picked to have a Takeover occur earlier than wait 5-6 months in between events. Also gave them a strict cut-off date for tapings which impacted the decision to do the event earlier than they wanted.

Actually watched this on smackdown and marked THE FUCK out. So awesome.

It's a good look for him. Goldberg comparisons or not, he looks like someone you'd expect to see in a Main Event. Opening up his offense will help, as well.

Sin Cara has returned from injury.

So..adios Kalisto US Champion?

I would be totally fine with face Kalisto vs. heel Sin Cara as a title feud.

LUCHA DRAGONS EXPLODE AT WRESTLEMANIA!

Every person in the arena given a mask to wear during the match to break the World Lucha Mask record.

LUCHA LUCHA!

haha so true

I think it's more likely Sin Cara will job to whoever is Kalisto's next opponent. Perpetually. Until the end of time.

One of the 100,001's favorite pin up gals....

VINTAGE indy match featuring CHW superstars MATT RAGE and SWEDE SAVARD (wrestling as TRIPLE S) against Steven Brothers tag team in the indies! So much for those saying CHW guys have no pro training and that CHW guys cant step into the ring! And this is many YEARS ago!


IM telling you if they wanted to, guys like Matt Rage and Swede Savard could be WWE superstars!
The only reason they aren't is that they have other plan's.
