I'm sure a lot of people did the same with Taker winning at 30. Betting big on WWE is way too risky after that happened.

I put £50 on Undertaker to win. Never a-fecking-gain.
 
I think Lesnar will win but I would not put money on it. No one is an absolute certainty to beat Cena the way he is booked.

The only absolute certainty on this Show is that Wyatt is beating Jericho IMO.
 
Hope I'm not getting the bug back. Just watched the NWO doc on netflix and it brought back so many memories

Just began to watch best of Raw and Sdown from 2013. Heyman managing CM Punk? I just heard an interview with Heyman a week ago on an MMA podcast and he made it sound like he was out of the company for quite some time before he retuned with Brock at wrestlemania...
 
Just watched the Heyman doc myself, really good. The WWE do a great job with these documentary's - will have to watch some more while I've got some time off work.
 
Will a Tag Team Tile Match take place? - No
Will Rollins cash in MITB? - No
RVD vs Cesaro - Cesaro
Miz vs Ziggler - Miz
Swagger vs Rusev - Rusev
Wyatt vs Jericho -Wyatt
Steph vs Brie -Brie
AJ vs Paige -AJ
Ambrose vs Rollins -Rollins
Orton vs Reigns -Reigns
Cena vs Lesnar -Lesnar
 
As usual, the WWE have made a mess of a couple of their characters who were seriously over. Wyatt had a great chance to be a main event player had they put him over Cena. But they put a boring Cena over. Boring. And now Wyatt is basically just a midcarder. Cesaro is another one. He was so popular as a heel. They put Heyman with him which in theory is great, but it made everything about Heyman. Then they take Heyman off him and put him on a preshow against an old guy who can't wrestle. It's amazing that both Cesaro and Sheamus aren't on the card whilst Stephanie is. Even the Reins character has stalled.
 
I was debating whether to fall asleep watching this, but looking at that list of matches, which one is supposed to be interesting exactly?

Cesaro has been fecked up since WM. He had so much backing from the crowd, and was ready for a face run IMO. Putting Heyman with him wasnt a bad idea in theory, but for some reason they took a lot of his focus away and almost made him change from what was working for him. His "break up" with Heyman wasnt even on camera. Now hes just losing random matches here and there without even getting a ring entrance at times.

Lesnar/Cena will be really interesting. Wonder how different it will be to their Extreme Rules match. The build for most if not all matches have been good though.

Heyman left in 2006 and returned with Brock at Summerslam 2 years ago, had a spell alongside Punk in there for 6 months or so late 2012/early 2013.

You mean Stephanie who's in the hottest angle on the show and has consistently been the star of the show this year?

Wyatt is not at mid card level, the only problem is he's stalling somewhat, it's down to a lot of factors how a character develops, the talent has a massive influence on this.

Cesaro got lost in a reshuffle for various reasons. Now he's going to give RVD a beating as a farewell. Not everyone can be featured on every show. That's just a fact.

As for Sheamus he's not overly reliable with when he's around for the shows at the moment since he's filming a movie. He's not exactly a big loss either.

As for Reigns he's holding himself back since he's not good enough (yet) for the role he's in.
 
Sheamus might not be a huge loss, but hes got the US title. Ambrose had like 4 title defences in a year, Sheamus is getting to that level now. Might as well unite that title with the IC title now.

Not saying I disagree regarding Sheamus/Cesaro, but don't understand the shot at Stephanie who for my money is by far the best heel in wrestling right now. She's done a fantastic job with this feud/story (ignore that ridiculous scene from this past Raw with the affair shit) and they put together a training video for her, she's working her ass off. Hoping this one might actually surprise quite a few people tonight, I think they're capable of a good match but it's a matter of whether they book it to be that or not.

You should of had Lesnar in your acca Shane, seems near on a dead cert even if it is against Cena. Lesnar did the job to him once and is coming off of breaking the streak, would be bizarre to have him lose here (unless they do a swerve with Lesnar destroying Cena and getting DQed leading to Rollins cashing in). Will surely see Lesnar/Reigns.

As I say, it's not very easy to set up a feud when one of the guys could be called away for filming at the drop of a hat. It's even more difficult when you've got a part timer at the top of the card.

That match was far better than it had any right to be. Last 2 deliver and this has been a belter.
 
Does Orton keep getting better in the ring? He's been excellent for a year now. I'm still unsure over Reigns though.

Love him or hate, him, he's ridiculously good in the ring(perhaps even underrated, because of his meh personality/character), he's constantly improving too, bafflingly so, he probably should have peaked a while back.

Reigns still needs quite a bit of developing IMO.
 
I'm hoping Brock keeps the titles until Wrestlemania. And faces Reigns.

Have a feeling it will be The Rock though.
 
I do have that horrible feeling that Cena might somehow end up getting the titles back at the next PPV.
 
Said it a while back, they're surely gearing up for Lesnar/Reigns. They've had Lesnar destroy the streak and now completely dominate Cena like nobody ever has or ever will and surely the payoff will be somebody going over him. The only two candidates are Reigns or Bryan with Bryan out injured I'd put money on it being Reigns. He'll win the Rumble and beat Lesnar for the belt at Wrestlemania. Seems a long way to go with Lesnar as the champion but it seems the most logical outcome (Personally I'd rather Bryan. Would make for an incredible story).

Show was fantastic, full of surprises. Enjoyed pretty much every match (I actually think Jericho/Wyatt was probably the worst match of the night, not a bad match but didn't click greatly IMO).

Told you. Lesnar now needs to turn face and sharpish. Go against the Authority because that's the only way he's losing the belt, by getting screwed out of it.

He's the most physically dominating superstar there has ever been in the wrestling business, and that includes Goldberg. Reigns is no way near good enough to main event for it at the moment.

Perhaps The Rock will return for a match against him, make up for getting beat in 2002(!). Shame Batista isn't around, I'd have liked to have seen Lesnar hand him a similar beating to the one he just gave Cena.

On another note, not a fan of Cena since his gimmick became essentially a glorified fan, but I've a lot of respect for him, don't like hearing all those boos he gets week in week out, totally unjustified when there are much worse talents around in the Wwe right now.
 
"Told you".....everyone knew.

Other than Bryan winning it, how he'll lose it will be a disappointment in some way. Except Punk too, or the awesome Ambrose stealing every show he's on.
