@soap jobbing != losing ffs.

How would losing to Wyatt hurt Taker? He's fecking done. I don't want a Taker match anyway.
 
I think Taker should just make an appearance this year, no match though. Maybe have him show up after the Sting match, but not wrestle.

Think it's lining up to be -
Bryan vs Lesnar
Rollins vs Orton
Cena vs Reigns
Triple H vs Sting

Plus a tag title match, battle royal, women's match and matches involving Ambrose, Wyatt, Ziggler etc.
 
I notice the wwe app has popped up on my ps4

Am I right in saying it's one month for free? So If I subscribe before wmania this year I would get to see that?
 
Raw ending was great. I didnt even mind Cena winning a 3 on 1 match the way he did. Its the fact he always wins against the odds that didnt make it a surprise. But Sting coming out was brilliant (His first Raw appearance wow).
THen Brock coming out and destroying shit was great.

If they had cut out that 20 minute promo at the beginning, it would have been a better show. Brock started the show cos he wanted to fight, then had to just stand there and do nothing whilst HHH, Cena And Rollins all talked. It wasnt very "beast"like. But the ending was cool.

I hope they dont take the title of Brock. Can see the matches already announced plus
Ryback vs Rusev
Maybe Ziggler winning the Andre the Giant battle royal (which would give him back the momentum he lost with Authority coming out and firing him)

It literally means the exact same thing... Ffs

I don't want another Taker match either, if there is one I certainly don't want him to lose again for reasons I've explained
 
I know the show was kinda based around it but I hate the way they constantly roll these legends out year after year.

It shows at this time of year that they need Undertaker, Sting and Triple H on the mania card as well as Batista and Rock in the last few years, they just are not building new stars, nobody has an identity, nobody stands out and that could cause them real problems in a few years time.
 
That was a very enjoyable raw, a little light on Mizdow for my liking but that's not the end of the world.

The way the show finished was impeccable. i am thinking Sting enters the rumble and gets eliminated, possibly in an illegal manner by Bray? I think Sting Vs Bray Wyatt at mania would be much more interesting then Sting Vs HHH. sadly i think that the latter might be set in stone.
 
I genuinely thought it was Xpac initially before realising it was Sandow. haha.

Sting entering the Rumble would be a waste imo. No point at all.

Sting vs HHH at WM would be fun if its an outright brawl / NO DQ type match. And I would love a bit where HHH has his authority (Kane, Show, maybe a returning Mark Henry, J&J all there but they get taken out by a returning Taker). Sting vs Bray would be a huge problem cos you cant have Sting beat Bray and have Bray lose at WM again if you want him to be taken seriously. But Sting cant lose the match. HHH vs Sting will be better (and make more sense given the story since Survivor Series).

Agreed with @Duffy
The fact they rely on the past so much shows how much trouble they have consistently building for the future. Although on Raw I found it funny when Nash said "what type of show are you running?" and HHH said that hes embarrassed. lol
 
It wasn't until X-Pac was actually on screen that I realised that Sandow was there.

Loved the ending to RAW. Sting showing up, and Brock looked like a beast taking out Big Show and Kane in quick succession, and doing it with apparent ease.
 
This weeks Rivalries on the Network is fecking brilliant - Matt Hardy v Edge. Can't recommend it enough.
 
Some awesome moments on that Raw:

  • Reunion stuff was really enjoyable, always awesome to see the APA and clothesline from hell :drool:
  • Absolute joke that yet again Kidd and Cesaro were jobbed out to The New fecking Day. These guys look great together yet for some reason the WWE are instant on not pushing them as single competitors and now decided "let's stick them together and shit on them both at once".
  • Lesnar is a fecking beast, but we all knew that already. That ending was immense, Lesnar just destroying everything in sight. It's one of the rare times I'm now going into a triple threat truly believing any of them could walk out with the belt. Honestly though, I'm really hoping they don't have Lesnar drop the belt at the Rumble but I'm starting to think it's going to happen.
  • Stop fecking chanting CM Punk, it became tiring close to a year ago, stop with the bollocks.
  • So awesome to have Bryan back, can only hope he wins the Rumble.
  • Orton is no doubt returning at the Rumble, will be interesting to see if it's in the title match or the Rumble itself, the pop will be massive.

Interfere, cost Rollins, Cena pin. Please let that not be the case.

EDIT: I second all those that genuinely mistook Mizdow for X-Pac :lol:
 
Watching the Attitude Era on WWE network, its striking how even lower/mid carders like Val Venus, Steve Blackman and Al Snow got massive crowd reactions. RTC were an awesome stable too, never really appreciated them at the time.

Just watched it, intense. There's no amount of money you could have paid me to go and work with Edge and Lita in Matt Hardy's position. In fact I'd probably have gone completely off the grid.

When you say person to return, you should change that to suprise entrant as we all know Orton will most likely return.

So glad they both mentioned how terrible that Summerslam match was. All that build for a 4 minute stoppage (in the first match) was hideous at the time.
Actually I remember Matt Hardys promo right before on the Raw and that was a car crash. I think he blew his chance with that promo. Him saying something like the only thing better than a match would be if Edge died in a car or something. Up until that point it was all good on camera (well except Matt shaking Vinces hand, didnt think that needed to happen either). I also remember Matt losing to Rob Conway (and maybe Snitzky) after Summerslam too for no reason.

The Edge/Matt matches though (the three after Summerslam) were all really really good.
 
Just signed up for the network seeing as Sky have the Rumble at a bargain £19.99.

Instantly went to find the classic Taker/Mankind HIAC but can't find it anywhere. Is it on the network?
