So the "IWC" or "Twitter Machine" or "Online Reports" (from HHH, or VKM Only of course) are okay when they serve your point, mkay ;)

I am (was until a few months ago) a paying fan. I have been to every show that has been in Indy since 92 when I went to WM VII. The product has grown stale for me. It has grown stale because the past 10 years the same formula has been in play with Cena and it is boring to watch, for me.

After seeing the build with Reigns, it is clear that the WWE Universe is in for more of the same. Even taking the kayfabe chest protector out of the equation, Reigns just bounced up at the end of the match as if he hadn't even been in a match. LOLCENAWINS will soon be LOLROMANWINS.

Sure he will garner a reaction, much like that of Cena. For me, personally, I don't want to pay $$$ to see that anymore. I cancelled my network sub yesterday and Shane//Taker isn't good enough to get me to renew.

Gotta love those rights fees that are exploding because of the immense reaction Reigns gets at house shows. WOOOOO!! :shifty:

It will still be Kurt vs Taker. No idea how but it will be.

It would make sense if Undertaker came out on monday and told vince "No". being that Vince is a face n all.

"I won't fight for you, I will fight for Shane"

Taker refusing to do Vince's dirty work would be an interesting spin on this.

I just hate to think this could be Takers last match. The only good thing is that he will prob be the one carrying the match and it will make him look better in a sense. That's obviously in contrast to the last few years where he has to get carried by his opponent and usually looks pretty rough in the process.

But yea, I could see Taker refusing and then Vince forcing him to do the match with the added stipulation that if Taker doesn't win he is forced to retire. That would be Vince's insurance to make sure Taker fights for real and doesn't just let Shane win.

Kurt wins and then we build up to next year Kurt vs. Brock at Mania as "the only two to defeat The Undertaker at Wrestlemania"

Did Nattie lose weight?

And especially if the point of the article is Fandango is cool. Makes me think waste of time. But could also be you're just terrible at promoting something.

Lol. You're a joke.

EDIT: I'm not longer going to interact with CyNick. It's funny, but feeding the trolls.

Shane/Undertaker will be Taker's most entertaining match in years. It will be like Undertaker/Flair at WrestleMania was - except Shane is more agile and takes bumps.

Guess who was at WMX8?

WWE shook things up in a big way on Monday night with the surprise return of Shane McMahon. After a memorable confrontation with Vince and Stephanie McMahon, it was announced that Shane will face The Undertaker at WrestleMania 32 inside Hell in a Cell. If Shane wins, he gets control of WWE. If The Undertaker wins, Vince’s debt to Shane for bailing him out several years ago is forgiven.

Shane vs. Undertaker HIAC is one of those ‘wildcard’ matches that nobody saw coming but one that will add some much needed interest and star power to a card plagued by injuries. Here’s the latest on how this deal came together, courtesy of Dave Meltzer at f4wonline.com:

Longtime fans know this “WrestleMania match for control of WWE” has been talked about for years now. Originally it would have been Triple H representing the Authority against a surrogate of Vince McMahon’s, either The Rock of Steve Austin. The plan had been nixed in the past because Vince didn’t want to be on TV.

The deal between Vince and Shane was brokered just a few weeks ago. Shane currently does not have any management position in the company and is solely an on-air talent at this time. Even though he still has a major role with You On Demand (Chinese media company), he’s Shane is based out of New York and could theoretically be at television each week.

Shane’s promo was very much based on real circumstances within the McMahon family. There was a time that Shane legitimately felt he was in line to take over WWE but Vince ultimately made it very clear that Stephanie and Triple H would be running the company, which is a big part of what led to his departure.

Meltzer also noted cryptically that there’s something behind the fact that Triple H was not part of that opening segment.

Supposedly the Observer implied the Shane vs Vince storyline had been something the WWE wanted to do going as far back as the Road to Mania 30. Also supposedly a big reason why the real life split happened was due to Vince favoring Stephanie to be in control of Creative back in the day and refusing to split the company between Shane (business side) and Stephanie (Creative side).

Quote:

In a further update to the shocking events of last night, Dave Metlzer of Wrestling Observer Radio reports the storyline was originally supposed to take place two years ago with Triple H vs. an opponent of Vince McMahon's choosing, which would have ultimately been Steve Austin or The Rock. The match would have been for power and control of WWE but Vince nixed plans for the storyline because he wasn't keen on being on television at the time. The major storyline leading into that WrestleMania ended up being The Authority vs. Daniel Bryan, who went on to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Figured that might be interested for those in the area and wanted to go to the event.

He'll end up like Cena. Not everyone will be for him, but he'll get a reaction.

Put it this way. I would rather Roman get the reaction he got during his match than the reaction AJ Styles got during his match.

Dumb.

NXT Season 3 was just so bizarre

Ojuanbrown I have an announcement. ..... one fine sir bad news getter trumped all your negativity. He outranks you

Shinsuke Nakamura absolutely has to keep his name, it's already too well known to be changed, like Samoa Joe or AJ Styles.

Is the original nxt on the network? :?:

They apparently get paid pretty well for a days work when they do them. I'd shoot on all y'all for 4 figures.

Who am I kidding, I'd do it for a pint.

I hope the WWE realizes that the reason Shane McMahon got a big pop isn't just for nostalgia. It's because they want to see a different direction for WWE programming.

If Shane is around though I am sure he will get a say in what should go on. No idea if his ideas will be good or not.

It sounds insane to be making this criticism after years of complaining that there wasn't enough wrestling on WWE TV, but there's no reason Ambrose and Owens need to wrestle anyone every week. Looking back to the Attitude Era, if you want to take that as the "standard", does anyone remember the two minute, insignificant midcard TV matches that lead to the pay-per-view matches, or do they remember the angles? Does anyone remember any of the Val Venis matches that Kaientai got involved in, or do they just remember "choppy choppy your pee pee"?

Tyler Breeze is, to me, the biggest example of how badly they're missing the point. Breeze shouldn't be wrestling every week, but he should absolutely be on TV every week. Show vignettes of him at photoshoots or in exotic locations, get him seats at genuine fashion events and show footage of that, have him come out to the ring to unveil a new photoshoot or new line of clothing. And that's for a character with an easily represented, easy to understand gimmick ready made, but what could you do with characters without that? You flesh them out. You teach the audience who they are, what they're all about. Aside from a dumb hairdo, crazy bumps, and gear that would be befitting of a CAW version of Shawn Michaels...what is Dolph Ziggler?

The whole point of wrestling-as-entertainment is that you have all these larger than life characters interacting with one another, but where's the appeal in that if their interactions are all the same? Wrestling match after wrestling match after wrestling match every week does nothing to embrace the appeal of these characters.

I think that's why a lot of people became a fan of Daniel Bryan after his WHC match with Sheamus at mania. He might not have been wrestling every week but his character was constantly being developed.

You're saying this about a company who changed KENTA, tried to legit kayfabe pass off Albert as some Japanese badass instead of a clearly white guy who everyone knows existed in WWE before, and vehemently insists TNA doesn't exist, most notably when talking about careers of AJ Styles, Sting, or Christian.

Glad they seem to be getting away from 100% needing to own an arbitrary name of people coming in with some buzz behind them, but it still isn't out of the realm of possibility.

I'd never heard of this Nakamura before all this signing with WWE hype, so it wouldn't bother me in the slightest.
