Did Lesnar and Cena need to get home early?

I remember when Punk was commentating on that NXT Women's series and he busted the line out a fair few times. His commentary on that whole thing is incredible to be fair.

A friend of mine went to Uni doing a masters with a Nigerian man named Brilliant Pongo.

Loved Gulak vs Bryan.

Loved what a glorious dickhead Sami Zayn is. 

Other than that - nothing really grabbed me. 

Miz is the man

They're not scraping the bottom of the barrel yet then.

But he was MY favourite. 

Tatanka isn't in is he?

What's Ted Jr up to?

All American Lex Luger wouldn’t have been a thing if Hogan hadn’t left.

Edge and Christian wouldn’t have initially have had that gothic look without Gangrel.

I guess various Dudleys too?

I would love a Bryan v Cena (who's the better man type face v face) feud. So much they could do with their history and their personal lives being so closely aligned for a good few years. Match would be a cracker too.

Yeah me too. I don’t hold out much hope though.

Speaking of not putting over current stars in favour of the part timers.

We’re only a month or so away from Wrestlemania and there’s not even a hint of what Daniel Bryan is doing. Daniel Bryan.

The fact Taker didn’t even tombstone Styles is worrying for Mania.

I don’t understand why you’d build Wyatt like this just to feed him to Goldberg. Goldberg could have beaten anyone on this show. Him and Reigns doesn’t need the belt.

Cena vs Wyatt on the other hand could have benefitted from that with Cena chasing the record 17th title at mania.

I’m far from a “I’m gonna cancel the network” guy. But to have 3 current stars on the same show go down to part timers without getting any offence between them does seem super short sighted in terms of the future.

Not so much Riccochet. The Brock effect is what it is. But they’re just telling their audience:

Multiple time world champion AJ Styles is bullshit compared to broken down star of the past the Undertaker.

Absolute killer and unstoppable monster The Fiend can be easily beaten by semi retired wrecking machine Goldberg (who couldn’t beat Triple H handily in his prime).

They may as well just put a caption on the screen saying “Nah, it’s not as good as it used to be, is it?”

I feel exactly the same. I can't point to anything in over a year Charlotte Flair has done that I've enjoyed, or was improved by her involvement at all.

In fact I think the way she's been booked and coasted in some of her matches has probably been detrimental to the division. Why did she beak Asuka? Why did she have to be inserted into Becky vs Ronda. Two decisions that massively derailed two potential stars - neither of which has ever reached the level they were at again.

Not to mention her pointless royal rumble victory this year

Come on guys . . . Be a Star.

I have a theory you were high when you started this thread.

Also Beer calories are not a real thing

There was an Elimination Chamber match around that time (I think) that Drew looked like an absolute monster, but I don't think they did anything with him after it.

WWE not following up on someone's momentum . . . I don't believe you.

Never leave the MMA section again.

Maybe he means a different Vince Russo? One of them plays the washboard in a band called The Appleseed Collective.

That Spike/Awesome match is actually the first match of either man that I ever saw. I got gifted Guilty As Charged 2000 and November to Remember '99 as Christmas gifts one year, and I decided to watch the most recent event first. The event blew me away but main event is special and sticks with me the most.

It's odd that I read about ECW for years in Powerslam and WoW but by the time I'd get to see a show they'd be only a few weeks from declaring bankruptcy.

I’d never seen this before last night (after reading this thread inspired me)

Just a hell of a lot of fun.

Well if this thread's anything to go by, somebody's got some fessing up to do:

"Vague memories of a UKFF (UK Fan Forum) thread on this years back claimed the lad was around 10/11 at the time and lived in Yorkshire. His mate was a member of the UKFF and said he "doesn't do social media"and it settled down with a family."

"It". Bit harsh.

Genuinely just assumed he was already in the HOF. Amazing it’s taken this long.

Does The Garden even hold 29,000 people?

It will that night.

Be interesting to see how well NJPW do in MSG without it being Mania weekend.  I'd imagine they'll still do really well, but maybe not as well as last time.

I think they’ll probably sell about 29,000 tickets 

But to be fair Mike Rotunda didn’t go on to become a multiple time world champion after being IRS.

If you think WWE sent a bloke out in drag to make some deep, post-modern point then I’m not sure what company you’ve been watching since, well, forever.

It wasn’t even as if all the women stopped what they were doing in some big, “fuck this shit,” moment, collectively throwing him out or something. It was just played for the same laughs as last time. The only difference was he didn’t win but other than that it was clearly designed for no other reason than to have Vince chuckling backstage whilst everyone else in the arena and watching at home looks around confused as to why we’ve gone back ten years.

Well I disagree.

I briefly thought that too, but figured even they wouldn't have two Rumbles feature an eliminated entrant taking out the person who eliminated them.

But they do do it. They did it last night. You can't do it, and then say "we don't do that any more" while you're doing it.

But that’s the point they were trying to make I think. Whether it’s landed successfully or not I don’t know.
