King Pitcos Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I wonder if they'd go with Finn for the Rumble. They were clearly wanting to strap the rocket to him in the summer, but I don't know how they'd get away with it at Mania. If the champion is Kevin Owens, that just seems like a Raw brand C-PPV main event. And Brock Lesnar selling Balor's Papa Lazarou cosplay would be ridiculous. The best champion to defend against Finn at Mania would be Roman Reigns, atmosphere would be electric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best champion to defend against Finn at Mania would be Roman Reigns, atmosphere would be electric. That's a great shout actually. I was wondering what they might do with Reigns at Wrestlemania, outside of a potential rematch with Lesnar. Reigns/Balor would make a lot of sense and it could be a really fun match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 And you've got the previous to work with too. Roman put him over huge that first night, said he respected Balor and would come for the Univrrsal title. You canflip it slightly by putting the belt on Roman beforehand and have Balor return saying "nevermind coming for me, I'm coming for you". Â Obviously this is pending whether or not Balor comes back from injury in time. He has been used in promo materials for the Wrestlemania pre-sales, do they must be hoping that he'll be back to be able to play some sort of role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I've just spent ten minutes coming up with a WrestleMania card based on the above, because I have great social life. It's got twelve matches on it, plus three Payday Scrambles for the pre-show.  WWE title - John Cena vs Undertaker Universal title - Finn Balor vs Roman Reigns Seth Rollins vs Triple H Daniel Bryan vs The Miz (2010 Bret style, as discussed in another thread recently) Randy Orton vs AJ Styles SmackDown vs Raw - Dean Ambrose vs Brock Lesnar (purely because I couldn't think of anything else for either) Raw Womens title - Charlotte vs Sasha vs Bayley SD Womens title - Becky Lynch vs Nikki Bella Raw Tag titles - New Day vs Enzo & Cass vs Jeri-KO SD Tag titles - Wyatt Family vs American Alpha Big Show vs Shaq US title - Ladder - Rusev vs Kofi vs Zayn vs Neville vs Sheamus vs whoever else there is  Kickoff: Andre battle royal Cruiserwright Open Interbrand womens tag match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Can we clone Cena 3 times? Cos I want Cena v AJ, Cena v Taker and Cena v Reigns this year. Clone AJ a few times and you got a hell of a card right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cutting Edge Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 If he's at Mania (assume he will be) I'd like Goldberg vs Rusev, story has started anyway them maybe have Rusev 'take out' Berg on Raw after Series, Rehab Ru for the next few months leading to Da Man coming back for revenge at the Rumble or so and a battle of the bulls at mania.  Cena vs Taker, seems likely now they're both on SD Styles vs Orton WWE Title Balor vs Reigns Universal Lesnar vs Shane, seems alot of rumors about it not a match Id fancy Rollins vs HHH Goldberg vs Rusev  To me thats a solid card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted November 18, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Undertaker vs Styles at the Rumble, Undertaker wins the belt and Cena wins the Rumble and then you can have the big "will he win the big 16?" at Mania against the Undertaker. I'm hoping Styles Bad News Browns it at Survivor Series and walks out and he has the Deadman to answer to for the team losing. Â If you're going to bring someone up from NXT, either Joe or Nakamura, I'd have Styles vs either one of them at WrestleMania. There's no better person on the roster to wrestle if you want to get over impressively and have a top feud.

simonworden Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I'm guessing the loser at Takeover is getting called up, for NXT purposes I would send Joe up first as NXT seems to have more heels ready for a title shot over babyfaces. Joe could easily come up to Smackdown as a heel to keep John Cena busy until Mania season or as a face to give Styles something to do after Dean.

The King of Old School Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Ideal Mania card for me would be...  WWE Title - The Undertaker © vs John Cena  Universal Title - Roman Reigns © vs Finn Balor  Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg III  Seth Rollins vs HHH  AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe  Kevin Owens vs Chris Jericho  Bray Wyatt vs Randy Orton  Smackdown Tag Titles - The Uso's © vs American Alpha  Raw Tag Titles - New Day © vs Enzo and Cass  US/IC title unification ladder match - Cesaro vs Rusev vs Sheamus vs Ambrose vs Ziggler vs The Miz  Andre Battle Royal for all the other schlubs.  I fully expect AJ/Cena, Taker/Orton and Shane/Brock though.

Paid Members Benno Posted November 18, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 18, 2016 I went to see Shane Douglas do a Q&A in a pub in Birkenhead last night. Proper old man pub, the type where they turn and stare at you when you walk in. Attendance was 27. Â Shane was a top bloke, friendly and willing to chat with anyone. You'll be surprised to know that both Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels are apparently dickheads. Surreal experience. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Benno Posted November 18, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 18, 2016 Sadly not, we got a "cut the fucking music" and I tried to coax a "Dick Flair" out of him but that was about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I remember seeing him on some XPW thing where he call's WCW office, and quits whilst in-ring at an XPW show, most likely throwing away millions of dollars in the process. Â I take it Douglas is proper skint these days to be doing stuff like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Benno Posted November 18, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 18, 2016 I think Hope Wrestling have brought him over. He has a few of these going on while he's here. He did a similair Q&A in Newport at the weekend and he's in Manchester tonight. Â I'm not sure how hard up he is, although he was claiming he was about to start a wrestling promotion with Kevin Sullivan and had a company willing to put "50 Million Pounds in", so yeah, we'll see on that.

Â That's "Classic Wrestling Revolution", isn't it? Started off as a reality show with Shane, Kevin, Roddy Piper & someone else coaching teams of rookies. Think they shot a trailer/pilot for it, then Piper passed and set those plans back? Â Just found this on YouTube, seems they've also taped a more traditional pilot?
