Television Tho Prop Grops Throps

It’s a 1 off event that won’t be promoted on tv. If Roman didn’t go over at Mania he won’t go over at a live event even if it is on the network. I read months ago Bobby Lashley could face Lesner for the title maybe he shows up and that starts.
 
Zero chance Reigns wins at the rumble after he just got destroyed like that.

Calling it now - Bryan wins the rumble, and faces Lesnar for the title. They’ll let the rumble winner get a title shot at some point - SummerSlam?
 
I called it.

Reigns to take the title in Saudi Arabia. ‘Greatest Royal Rumble’ my ass what a load of shite.

Vince selling by out big time to the Saudi’s he’s undermining his biggest show of the year to satisfy this fecking multi million dollar house show.

Agreed. It's incredibly stupid and will just result in Roman being abused even more by most crowds.
 
Still rings true...



In wrestling terms, how does the guy who got easily beaten last night get another shot?

And in smarky terms, how does the guy who contributes to a Mania main event getting "This is awful" and "boring" chants still get backed?

Can’t see Bryan going to RAW
I think if Bryan wins, it be Bryan V AJ or Heel Nakamura

guessing it be live on WWE network which means it will start at 16:00 UK time

He was easily beaten? Took 6 F5s to bring him down.

As for the boring and this is awful chants, they were no doubt towards brock more so than Reigns, who was boring the crowd with the same 2 moves and generally providing shit momentum in matches. Reigns is more than capable of putting on high momentum matches even if he does have a limited skill set. He generally works the crowd well. Brock has been doing the same cop out match stories for over a year. The crowd had enough.
 
How is Hogan back in the picture?

What is it? 2 years for being a racist? Do WWE need his name that badly?
 
Watching Wrestlemania now...fecking bullshit they made Aska tap out.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Asukas streak was obviously not gonna last, she broke records and got herself on the history books. The records gone on for years now.

Charlotte since moving to smackdown has done absolutely nothing of note. Charlotte is WWEs top female talent. Argubly even top heel when she's heel. To have her go a year without doing anything of note then go to WrestleMania and lose the title, it be a long process to build her back up. She's ended the streak and gone over as a result. Asuka will still be booked strong. It makes sense, just a pitty it happened at mania.
 
Rousey was phenomenal. The intensity with which she moved and how quick she was on the mat was a different league. Very very impressive debut.
 
Sooner Vince go the better it would be. Second part of WM mostly snoozefest, not help with crowds being exhausted after almost 3 or 4 hours of show. Even the ME well, what can we say more about that. Its like Vince re-create Naito-Okada storyline when in fact, Roman not even over in front of crowds. Now they will give the title to Roman infront Saudi's men? What a way to impress your new investor.

They never truly got behind the streak anyways so no shock they wanted to get out of the way. Plus there was probably only Charlotte or Ronda that could of realistically ended it.
 
Why are people saying Bryan is a full time wrestler now? Have I missed any news?

Being cleared for one match is surely different to being cleared to consistently participate. And even if he could take some more bumps there is zero chance they'd let him do it full time. At best I'd expect him to do the same dates as Brock and be wrapped in bubble wrap.

According to doctors his brain activity has returned to normal and he is unlikely to get any more seizures. He can wrestle again but will probably have very regular check ups. The way he took that powerbomb to the apron didn’t look like he is going to be careful.

It was reported as though he's back to being full time. Or at least, that he will be eventually, if not right away. I think he'll resign as SD GM tonight.

I also read somewhere that he'll have to have regular check ups, even as regular as having one after every match, at least at first.
 
Gutted now it’s been officially confirmed that Paige has had to retire. Mania she said next year and I thought well maybe there is hope but seems like it’s done. Not sure if she is staying on as a valet or not. That didn’t seem very clear. Kinda do think without Paige Absolution will maybe disappear a bit and it would be criminal to not see Mandy Rose weekly. Maybe if Paige has gone they will team them with someone else.

Favourite part of Raw was “ what was that about?” Finn and Rollins to Jeff Just after his chat with Matt and Bray :lol:

Paige did nothing interesting in her whole run imo.

She just looks and acts like your local rough council estate slag.
 
As soon as I heard he was inducting Mark Henry into the HOF, I knew Vince was finding a way of gradually bringing him back into the picture.

Have I missed something? I thought Big Show inducted him?
 
I feel sorry for Paige. Some of her issues are self-inflicted but the interview she did with Lilian Garcia makes you realise that there are reasons for the self-destructive stuff. She had a very strange upbringing by the sounds of it and lost a baby when she was 17/18 plus can't have kids in the future due to ovary issues that required surgery while she was in NXT.

Shame really considering she's actually younger than big-name women in WWE now. She could've achieved a lot.
 
Favourite spot of the Mania weekend...



He will be a star if given the chance on the main roster.


NXT is what got me back watching wrasslin', like, two weeks ago. They have some talent on the roster. It's fresh, exciting. The main brand is dull as feck outside one or two wrestlers.

And that ladder match was a throw back for me. (Edge/Christian et al) Thoroughly entertained. And yer man Ricochet, the dude can fecking fly.
