Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 The February PPV is called WWE FAST LANE. What a shit name. Don't see why they didn't go back to No Way Out, it was established as being part of the Road to Wrestlemania, in fact just call the show Road to Wrestlemania, the only point of the February PPV from about 2001 onwards is to set the table for the final Mania card anyway (Rock beating Angle for the belt, which was the most obvious result of a title match ever, being the best example) Always thought it'd add a bit more shine to Survivor Series, Rumble and Mania if they just dropped the December and February PPV's anyway, I know there's financial reasons why they can't but it'd bring a lot of the 'big 4' appeal back to SS and RR while you've still got monthly PPV's April to November They could probably do that now and just have the events in December and February as "Network Exclusives" I dont know if it would be that a big issue financial wise. If they promote it right, they could see an increase in numbers for the Network sign ups.
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted December 21, 2014 Author Paid Members Posted December 21, 2014 I really like the decision to move the EC. It's a great concept that is too predictable in that spot. Fast Lane isn't great. Obviously going for a "road" theme.
Pinc Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 My train home for Christmas was delayed by a day so I've spent the evening reliving the Summer of Punk via Youtube. Can anyone remind me why JR was commentating on the Cena/Rey title match which preceded Punk's return two weeks after MITB? It's a shame he seems to have been under orders to stay quiet once Cult of Personality came on. Jim giving it the old 'BAH GAWD, AUSTIN HAS MADE A DEAL WITH SATAN HIMSELF' treatment might've made it seem like less of the angle-killing wet blanket that it was.
Moderators PowerButchi Posted December 21, 2014 Moderators Posted December 21, 2014 HHH brought JR back giving it the whole "Someone's been gone from WWE, and you want him back, so I'm gonna give him you" and it was JR, not Punk. The crowd didn't mind that much though, and it led to another hilarious live humiliation of JR. This time a firing of JR by Johnny Ace while his wife was in the front row.
Fanny Pack Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Since Lesnar got the belt at SummerSlam he has gone from 16th to 11th in the all time combined title reigns (for the WWE Title) overtaking Diesel, CM Punk, HBK and The Rock. Hes currently at 478+ and if he holds the title til Mania he will overtake Savage, HHH and Austin putting him 8th on 577 days. Edited December 22, 2014 by Fanny Pack
Paid Members FLips Posted December 22, 2014 Paid Members Posted December 22, 2014 Should only count days he's actually there though really, or Scott Steiner is the current and longest-reigning WCW Heavyweight Champion of all time.
andrew "the ref" coyne Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Should only count days he's actually there though really, or Scott Steiner is the current and longest-reigning WCW Heavyweight Champion of all time. He lost it to Booker T on the last ever Nitro (unless your referring to the fact he still has the physical belt).

If thats how your working it out then The Miz has probably held the belt longer than Hogan!

Paid Members Carbomb Posted December 22, 2014 Paid Members Posted December 22, 2014 "Daft Bumps"! That's brilliant. Haven't been to a BritWres show in years, but I'm starting to think I should go see Attack Pro at some point.
Paid Members JNLister Posted December 22, 2014 Paid Members Posted December 22, 2014 Ooh, I forgot there was a pre-show "dark match" which included Elf Ligero.
Slapnuts Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 I like the band anyway but I bloody love this song and how it samples Paul E!!
The Reverend Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Just seen there's some guy on The Chase hoping to win so he can set up his own wrestling promotion. The other week there was a guy wanting to win big so he could go to Wrestlemania - apparently he goes to loads of UK shows. Not anyone on here is it?
