The match won't happen cause AJ attacks him before the match.

I hope this is the start of Top Rope Theater Season 2

Spent some coffee time this morning running through a random WrestleMania card. Obviously you can't predict what will happen this far out, but it's sort of a more "realistic" card than the ones in the ideal card thread.
WWE World Championship AJ Styles (c) vs. John Cena Triple Threat Match for the Universal Championship Kevin Owens (c) vs. Seth Rollins vs. Finn Balor Brock Lesnar (w/ Paul Heyman) vs. Bobby Lashley (w/ Shane McMahon) The Undertaker vs. Rusev (w/ Lana) RAW Tag Team Championship The Revival (c) vs. Big Show & Shaquille O'Neall The King of Kings vs. The King of Strong Style Triple H vs. Shinsuke Nakamura Eight-Woman Tag Team Match Emmalina, Asuka, Nia Jax & Nikki Bella vs. Charlotte, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch & Bayley Fatal 4-Way Match Randy Orton vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt vs. Luke Harper Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal Won by Big E United States Championship Roman Reigns (c) vs. Sami Zayn Ladder Match for the Intercontinental Championship Dolph Ziggler (c) vs. The Miz vs. Kane vs. Kalisto vs. Zack Ryder vs. Heath Slater vs. Apollo Crews SmackDown Tag Team Championship The Usos (c) vs. American Alpha Cruiserweight Championship TJ Perkins (c) vs. Kota Ibushi |
I don't know whether or not to start a new thread for this, but I was thinking about NXT as a developmental territory the other day.
Triple H gets all this praise for what he's done down there, but just to play devil's advocate: which stars did NXT create? OVW gave the world John Cena, Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar. Batista said he learnt nothing there, so I won't include him in that list. NXT is based on the skeleton of FCW, and it has been around for four years now. If you go from the period OVW worked as a developmental territory for years deep, you get a whole list of guys that got their start there that ended up in WWE. All of the NXT talent that have found success have seemingly been from the indies. They might have learnt valuable things in NXT, true, but when it comes to wrestling skill, who has NXT actually produced? You could make a case for the women, but they also need a lot of production to make their matches click. |
Wouldn't it be nice to see Kenny & Mikey with the Tag Team Titles again? Glad to see them back. Well, I haven't watched a show they've been on yet, but I am happy for them.

I never really got to listen to much of Kevin Kelly's commentary. I'm doing some research on him now. His Wikipedia page says that he was the chief mind behind the Triple H/Stephanie McMahon getting together storyline and was a talent scout for WWE. He seemed like a really involved and passionate dude. Does anyone know how he came to lose influence?

I'm reading up on Dan Severn. Man was a fucking beast -- hence the nickname, I suppose. I came into wrestling after his WWF run, so I'm quite unfamiliar with him. Obviously you hear the stories, the rumors, the praise and the criticisms, but I'm kind of excited to go back and actually watch some of his stuff with a more mature eye.
On paper, this guy is a legitimate legend and he STILL fucking wrestles. What a champ. |

Survivor Series format is perfect for the RAW v SDL storyline. It doesn't seem that special right now because the split just happened a few months ago. But in the future this will create some cool moments to see guys touch who haven't touched in years. No homo. Curious if they go the route of having several RAW v SD matches at Mania. This would be the spot to plant some seeds. |

Mick Foley very politely "called out" Bret Hart and Bret Hart surprising did not respond via tearing Mick Foley a new asshole, and was actually very apologetic about coming across as bitter. Interesting to see Bret somewhat "cool off" on his opinions. I'm guessing when the Micker feels the need to kind of be like "c'mon Bret" it'd make the guy think.
Love the Hitman though. Him being a giant mark for himself and sort of deriding everyone for not being on his level while sometimes face palm worthy is part of his charm. I'm happy to see he didn't lose it on Mick though, given Mick is a top notch guy (at least seemingly so). |
I do love Mick but I have kinda rolled my eyes a bit at how defensive he's been about the product in his posts the past few months. Considering that not all that long ago he was writing about how he broke a TV because he wasn't happy with a PPV ending.
Guess it's only natural that his opinions changed once he was put back on the WWE payroll. |
lol what the hell...
Lesnar "destroying" a one legged wrestler in front of his mom... seems good... <iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F80sBabyMedia%2Fvideos%2F331210303894375%2F&show_text =0&width=400" width="400" height="400" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" allowFullScreen="true"></iframe> |

So some extra seats were added to both Raw and SmackDown for when they come to Glasgow and I've managed to get myself tickets, so I can now say that I'm going to SmackDown!
The seats are probably not great as I'm sitting to the left of the stage and I've never been to the arena in my life so I don't know what the view will be like. I just hope nothing is in my way or that I'm hidden behind the set. My seat is in the blue circle in section 056. I'll be doing some research on my seat to see if I can find out what the view will be like and so on. https://s22.postimg.org/fgnw2qetd/seat.png Hopefully things will be alright, as they were the best seats available in what was a mad rush to acquire tickets as they were disappearing in the blink of an eye, but even if things aren't perfect, I'll still be able to say that I've actually been to SmackDown and not just house shows. |
I may or may not take a sign with me.
It all depends on what my seat will be like. |
Probably could have bought second hand tickets somewhere...... not sure if they have something like "stubhub" there...... would pay more than the tickets were worth, but you could get better seats......
|
Congrats on going, though.
Please bring a "Straight Fire" sign for Becky Lynch, and then subsequently light the sign on fire when she makes her entrance. |

There are tickets in the same area as me that are going for £300 each. I paid £56 for my ticket. |

NXT is touring New Zealand and Australia for the first time but I'm going to miss it as I'll be in the U.K. :(
|
Those Where Are They Now videos are amazing.
|
In light of Itami's recent injury, I think WWE needs to evaluate whether it's worth it to include their bigger names on these tiny road shows where they're facing green, inexperienced guys who could injure them.

The decorator that's working on my mum's place received a phone call today and his ringtone was Shawn Michaels' theme.
I really didn't expect to hear that today. |

Maybe have the first 15 minutes talk about their in-ring career up until they left/got released, then the other 15 minutes talking about what they're up to now. |
