Dear @WWECesaro, when does your Raw contract end? We'd love to have you on #SmackdownLive

Honestly i'd say the likelihood of it happening is quite slim though considering he's actually involved in a storyline, Sami Zayn is a lot more likely IMO and i know we all shit on him but considering Smackdown has made Baron Corbin, Usos, Ziggler and Heath Slater interesting i'm fully prepared to give that a chance too.

Either way though i'd be happy, Smackdown needs faces and Miz ( assuming he retains ) needs fresh feuds.

new world champion

Spoiler:

he left WWE because they were holding him down, glad to see him find his worth

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Lmao I heard he's been a flop in terms of genuine crowd reaction and people giving a shit btw.

Not everyone can be AJ on the indies sadly.

[Casciavit]

Never saw the hype in Cody in the first place tbh. Sure, he deserved better than being *bleep* Stardust, but it's not like he was a main event level talent either.

[Onyx]

Yeh was always a midcarder talent wise imo. Although if the likes of Del Rio, Sheamus, Rollins, Reigns, Owens, Miz, Ziggler etc can be World champions, I'm sure Cody could have been too at some point. He just wasn't one of the chosen ones.

Recent thoughts on WWE:

First and foremost, team Chris and Kevin are awesome.

I like Charlotte, but her winning at HIAC killed any momentum the women's division may have had.

Ambrose needs to turn heel. He's lost steam as a face and it's embarrassing that he's tagging along with James *bleep* Ellsworth. The same Ellsworth, who has overstayed his welcome.

The Lesnar squash is ok. WWE are gonna book it as an unlucky loss. Lesnar's going to get his win back, and he'll probably go on another 'monster run' where he ultimately creates a star after he loses in a hard fought fight.

I agree with that, also agree with your other comments especially on Charlotte who is probably the only one on RAW women's division wise who is good on the mic
( Sasha is as a heel but face wise it doesn't work imo)

Also agree with Ambrose turning heel but we have all known that for ages, would also help his matches to work heel but trouble is I'm not sure AJ would be too great as a face. In ring it works but as a character not so much.

He may prove me wrong though, as his character is a lot more developed now than when it was during the Jericho feud.

Outside of that though I'm really into this Orton in the Wyatt family stuff and interested to see where it goes and anything that makes Bray look legitimate is a good thing.

[Firenze]

Cody was entertaining for about 2 months in his American Psycho gimmick, he also got pushed from the get go with Dibiase when he debuted, pushed more than 99% of the roster ever will be. Had ample opportunity to get over and nobody ever really cared about him. The stardust gimmick was trash but it is what it is. Not sure why he thought he was gonna go crush the Indy scene and become the next AJ when he's not even half the wrestler.

[Firenze]

what's Ryback up to nowadays..another one I have no idea why he left..thought he should be the next Goldberg lol. Read tons of delusional comments from him over the years about his status.

[Tomwin Lannister]

Hopefully da big guy is still GOATing

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

He legally wants to change his real name to Ryback

That's about it.

[Kaladin]

This RR has the potential to be one of the best in the past decade, just need to bring Naka, Joe, Kenny Omega, Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle, Taker, DB etc

[RealGunner]

If Nakamura walks in to that Rumble. Lord.


Agreed though. This RR is going to be insane.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

I do think it will good tbh, so many different possible angles.

Which is refreshing as the Rumble has been predictable as *bleep* for too long, the last unpredictable one was probably the one Del Rio won in 2011.

Everyone and their mother knew Reigns, HHH, Batista, Cena and Sheamus were winning it in the years they won. It needs to go back to the point where the winner is not ridiculously telegraphed and i'm hopeful this year it won't.

Looking at it objectively from the current storylines, i hope Jericho wins it and it starts the Jericho-Owens break up which obviously leads to them at WM33.

Question: Is AJ Styles vs. The Undertaker a dream match for you?

Dat hair

Looks like a samurai dude.

[RealGunner]

2nd most charismatic wrestler of all time after Cena.

Incredible how he always had the crowd at his finger.

[S]

Taker-AJ at RR

Taker wins the title

Cena-Taker at WM

16th win

Hustle loyalty respect

I'd dig another Cena wrestlemania moment as long as he cheats to win and turns heel in the process circa Stone Cold at WM 17.
That would be one of the best moments in WWE history. Seriously.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Imagine the heel heat if he cheated to win and break the streak

OMG alas it's only a dream now.

[RealGunner]

would have posted a pic of me in Cena gear if that happened


Not that I own a Cena shirt, wrist band, head band, towel and My time is now album

Cena more charismatic than Rock

Even as a joke thats insulting.

[M99]

WWE put this match on their YouTube channel. One of the best debuts of all time. This was an amazing match.

Yep. If this was WCW, you would bet your ass that would happen. They were known for that kind of shit. With the state WWE is in , it would be some kind of screw job level heat and honestly the company needs it.
When Stone Cold turned heel at WM 17, he was still one of the top two stars and it did hurt the company despite the fact that I found heel stone cold cool. Cena turning heel on the other hand is going to be a massive boost for the business as a whole. I'd be thinking along the lines of how Hogan impacted wcw with his heel turn rather than Stone Cold's heel turn.

Although I'm looking at a different storyline which is plausible than this distant dream involving Taker. How about a Cena-Styles 2.0 and you get a double turn in the match. Cena cheats and wins the 16th title elevating Styles to top baby face status. That is something I would eagerly look forward to. Actually I got this idea from Wrestletalk TV and I thought this was an absolutely brilliant idea. Too much reliance on part time stars is also bad. Ideally you want a main event with two full time stars.

My 3 top matches for WM 33
KO vs Jericho ( Jericho winning and dropping the belt at the next ppv)
Lesnar vs Goldberg ( Lesnar wins clean)
Styles vs Cena ( double turn, Cena wins the 16th)

That would have been amazing tbh. I mean we all would have bitched, but the storyline potential would have been

Talking of Stone Cold, how I wished he used his 2nd theme more often



I know they call it his heel theme but this was plain badass, far more than his original theme. He even used this when he was a still a face iirc.

His Alliance theme in comparison though is plain woeful. One of the worst themes ever.
