All hail our lord and savior Dolph Zigler.

Where's the aftershow?!?!?

Loose Cannon 11-24-2014 12:03 AM

Wow what a match. Never saw Big Shows knockout punch to Cena coming. Loved how they left it up to Ziggler. Incredible!!!

Then Stings debut was amazing. Great Deathdrop on HHH. I was pretty bored with the buildup to this match the last few weeks but they delivered 1000000x over on the payoff. Amazing finish

Dolph beng the sole survivor is the fucking shit! So glad it was him and not Cena.

And FUCK YES for Sting finally turning up. I hope he's used a bit between now and mania.

SlickyTrickyDamon 11-24-2014 12:06 AM

I hope Sting is now GM and fires Michael Cole for Mark Madden. At least he's a funny shithead.

So all it took to get you back here was Sting?

Lock Jaw 11-24-2014 12:07 AM

Holy Moley.

So much great things at the end of that match. Ziggler being the one to overcome the odds and look like a million bucks. I hope they can sustain his push this time around.

Also, Sting appearing had me marking out. I wish it wasn't so widely leaked, but it still make me sit up straight on my couch. Wish he had taken the time to dye his hair black and maybe comb it.

The only shocking thing out of all of that was that it was Dolph that had to endure all the shenanigans and not Cena. Though I bet the reaction to Sting coming to save Cena would have been hilarious.

Does Rusev's countout qualify as an elimination for Dolph Ziggler? Probably not. If so, he has tied Roman Reigns' record of most SS eliminations.

Flash Funk 11-24-2014 01:00 AM

What if?
Cena finds his life was actually pretty sweet with the Authority. New regime doesn't honor his number one contendership. He has to enter early in the Rumble. Gets stuck with Hogan in a tag match at WM.

Daniel wins the Rumble and defeats Brock at WM. Authority music hits, Cena puts them back in power, and they grant him an immediate title match.

I'd have preferred the original WCW crow version theme but this was similar in sorts with crow noises and creepy music like in the crow movie......it will grow on us. It fits his character perfectly. Better than the fake Metallica stuff used in TNA and dare I say better than Metallica's 'Seek and Destroy'.


Wow just watching him stand off with Triple H and wipe him out with a death drop.

Last time I say Triple H quake in his brogues like that was when Taker came out to confront him just as he was about to fire Laurinaitus.

How do you not have Ziggler win the Rumble and beat Lesnar at mania now? How do you go with Reigns, a guy who is inferior in every way to Dolph Ziggler?

We don't need either and certainly not the Rock. Had enough of him waltzing back and fro when it pleases him.

Sure I rate him, he's amongst my all time faves. But I never considered him "the people's champion". If anything Sting has always been the true "peoples champion" but in recent times probably Daniel Bryan or dare I say it Cena.


But my point is we have Sting making his debut against Triple H. That alone will ensure this will be the most hyped and possibly watched WM of all time......and I have a ticket!

So many potential Rumble winners on the cards but I struggle to see where Rollins is going to figure in all this.


Reigns may well return at the Royal Rumble as the last entrant like Edge did from injury some years ago. Then there's Ziggler as you said, Bray Wyatt, even Ambrose. Can't see Rusev or Ryback winning it either. Cena probably won't even figure it. Sting certainly won't (and shouldn't). Daniel Bryan won't be back from injury by then.

FANTASY SCENARIO:

New Authority figure says that Seth Rollins didn't really earn the Money in the Bank contract, it was handed to him by the old Authority. Therefore it will be on the line in a ladder match against Dolph Ziggler at TLC. Ziggler wins. Later goes on to capture title, but probably not at Wrestlemania.

Gives Ziggler the title, and also solves the problem of Dean Ambrose saying he won't let Rollins ever cash in (which they will likely just drop anyways when they have him actually cash it in).

My dickhead friend spoiled the sting debut.. but to show how huge that was, I still got goosebumps when he walked out/hit the death drop. Mz squared gets the tag titles, Dolph survives, sting debuts, and my cowboys win.. pretty damn good sunday

Tom Guycott 11-24-2014 02:07 AM

Thank goodness for the replay.

This thread didn't do the Wyatt/Ambrose matchup justice.

Seriously, even though it may be "spoiled", I still want to see the Stinger actually IN WWE for myself. That match is about to start now.

Tom Guycott 11-24-2014 02:11 AM

But I will say I miss the old school Survivor Series being almost nothing but team matches. Wouldn't have had to pull that "let's swap people out" from Team Cena if they had more than one 5v5. And some other underutilized people could have gotten some PPV face and ring time.

I thought the theme was ok. Not as great as the WCW crow theme but had crow-esque elements, sounded more like something out of the original movie.

Still it gave me the chills and if I was in a dark alley or room and heard that suddenly, I'd crap myself..

That really wasn't that bad a post, I see what he's getting at. This is actually a good new poster guys, don't drive him away by pulling him up on petty opunions you might not agree with.

I didn't think it was a "bad post." I see what he's getting at too, I just laughed at the bolded part, as I thought it was funny. If I'm not allowed to disagree with his opinion once, after his few that I have already agreed with, I may have to superkick you in the groin.

I was asleep. It was the middle of the night after all.

Just got caught up. A friend spoiled Sting on Facebook but I still marked hard. Pretty perfect handling of his intro. HHH sold that first shot like a shotgun blast, which was kinda funny. I did find myself thinking "Dude, you could have at least dyed your hair".

The end of this show is evidence that they can pull it out of the bag when they need to. Great start to the Road to Mania.

Better than through a barbershop window. I can deal with that.

I thought you were lyao in a condensating fashion though, I'm sorry reading it wrong. It's just, while I'm all for attacking poor trolls and socks, and getting rid of them, I'm also keen for protecting and keeping the good new posters. You as well as anybody should know that :kiss:

Don't kill our hopes and dreams.

<font color=goldenrod>Sadly I agree. Ryback and Rowan are too big to strike a chord as underdogs and besides that them selling for several minutes while the Sting stuff went down would have seemed odd. Big Show was turning, and Cena needed to be taken out earlier than expected to sell the "shock" of Big Show's 500th heel turn. That really only left Dolph.</font>

I wouldn't have complained about Ryback being the man to score the winning pin though given that he has yet to have a major WWE moment other than a spontaneous title shot against Punk.

But the Ziggler bit worked well, whether there's a push for him I don't know. But Ziggler imo has never been "far away" from the title or main event picture so it's not like he's been promoted or elevated somewhat if say it had been Big E Langston or Kofi Kingston neither of him I expect to see hold the title.

Where would they push Ziggler to? We're not far off the road to Mania, Reigns returning, Lesnar coming back, etc. there's no place for Ziggler at the top of the card for now. It might have even been better for Show to knock out Dolph when he turned. Show vs. Dolph could have been something.

I haven't watched the show yet, but watched a video of Sting's debut, and I have to ask myself. What did Rollins take that laid him out for 6 minutes to take a pinfall?
