Re: The Official WWE Thread - Part 13 - BRYAN NEW CHAMP YES! YES! YES!

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

I hope if they do Kane vs Bryan they don't book Kane like a little bitch.

Sick of someone being billed as the " big red machine" being booked like a little beta bitch.

[Tomwin Lannister]

Agreed

He's always built up as being 'back to his old self' then after 2 or 3 squash matches he jobs to somebody

He obviously ain't going to beat Bryan when it counts, so after the Bryan match he should disappear for 6 months and come back as either crazy Kane or Masked Kane with some manager

[Onyx]

Kane's past the point of being credible now imo and he shouldn't be main eventing either. There's nothing really much that can be done with his character.

[Tomwin Lannister]

When they inevitably re-split the two main titles, Kane should be in an around the WHC

If not, he can still have GOAT storylines without needing to 'main event'

Look at the Wyatts, I don't think Bray has even mentioned a championship once.

[Onyx]

Can't really see them splitting the titles again. They should just hype the IC title more or introduce a new secondary title.

Zeb Colter says he's looking for someone to replace Cesaro in the Real Americans stable with Jack Swagger. He tweeted the following today:

"INTERVIEWING A FEW CANDIDATES TO JOIN @RealJackSwagger #RealAmericans TO REPLACE THAT SNEAKY @WWECesaro. ANY SUGGESTIONS? @WWE @JCLayfield"

WWE is currently looking at Philadelphia to host the 2015 Royal Rumble pay-per-view while the FedEx Forum in Memphis is penciled in for the 2015 Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. As we already know, WrestleMania 31 will take place in Santa Clara, California.

[Onyx]

It's been said that Roman Reigns vs. Triple H is likely for SummerSlam and Brock Lesnar will be working with Cesaro at WrestleMania 31 next year.

Reigns vs. Triple H makes sense and they've been building that in some small way for a while now, and much more considering the spear on Raw, but Cesaro is going to have to be pushed really hard over the next year for the Lesnar match to work.

That's assuming they don't try to make a match with The Rock happen again, which they could. Remember, that was originally the plan for WrestleMania 30. Imagine how different everything would look today had Rock not torn his guts up during his match with John Cena at WrestleMania 29.

They would shot the angle with Brock on Raw the next night and Undertaker would have worked a different opponent and maybe lost the streak to someone else.

[Onyx]

Christian still hasn't been cleared to come back, and it seems as though there are serious concerns about his future in the ring.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Just noticed they are doing a tournament for IC championship leading up to Extreme Rules.

Hope its a ploy to make it relevant again....

While he is part time i do think RVD would be the best choice to make it credible again IMO as he was a great IC champ when he was full time and brought credibility to the belt.

I do tend to think they are going to push Barrett or Cesaro, which i wouldn't mind either as both are over as *bleep*.

They should try to make the US Title credible again too... will bring a much needed balance to the quality of show as at this moment in time its about the opening promo and the lead up to main event.

Everything else is close to meaningless.

JR thinks WWE heels need to improve.

@JRsBBQ
What traits must a top TV wrestling villain possess 2 motivate ticket buyers 2 invest in seeing villain get their ass whipped? Who gets it?

@JRsBBQ
If pro wrestling villains rarely cheat, have abundant, redeeming social qualities, they're not villains. Stop BS'ing yourself.

@JRsBBQ
Pro wrestling villains must have rules to break. What're moves are illegal? Fewer & fewer. That fine gray line between goid/evil is a joke.

@JRsBBQ
“@miles_halverson: @JRsBBQ he has to be someone you love to hate.

And what creates that emotion?

@JRsBBQ
“@David_Spiegel: @jrsbbq so you mean Cesaro?”

What does Cesaro do to cheat, gain unfair advantages? Nothing of consequence. Same 4 Lesnar

@JRsBBQ
I'd estimate that half of today's TV wrestling heels aren't equipped ie guts & toughness to be great villains. Most had rather be cool.

[Onyx]

I think JR has a point, but nowadays the crowd cheer and boo whoever they want regardless of whether they're faces or heels.

The simple solution is to turn whoever is being cheered into faces and whoever gets heat turns heel, which is what WWE seem to be doing.

[Rebaño Sagrado]

Lmao did they really play the evolution theme? And Barret sucks give the title to Cesaro ffs

Just saw on youtube wtf was that poverty commentating.

king: oh no

[Onyx]

[M99]

The crowd Why were they so dead? I marked the shit out when Evolution's music played.

[Firenze]

orton/batista?

bryan drop the title?

captain charisma?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

SMH

internet died last night, had a BT technician come out yesyerday to fix some stuff, ended up botching batista style and now my phone connection is dead and I'm using my neighbours until it gets fixed

[Tomwin Lannister]

[M99]

They are back

[Firenze]

wow crowd were so dead for that return

[Firenze]

reading a raw recap

Batista's sell of the Superman punch set a new low for selling that move. It will never get worse than this.

[Onyx]

There was an edict sent out in the arena at last night's WWE RAW in Birmingham, by WWE officials, for security to remove any Sting related signs that were seen in the crowd.

All due respect to JR but he's stuck in the past. Today everyone knows that wrestling is scripted and im not gonna hate someone for playing his part, hell punk did all the crap JR talked about and he was still being cheered by a large portion of the crowd.

[Onyx]

Cena desperately needs a heel turn at this point imo. Every feud is about everyone questioning his legacy.

I'm sure deep down even he wants to turn and right now he's just going through the motions.

In a way it's unfortunate that he's the face of WWE and he sells the most merchandise. If he wasn't and if he was Orton/Batista level, there's no doubt he'd be a heel right now. Let's just hope Bryan supersedes Cena.
