Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted December 31, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted December 31, 2015 Have the Usos ever even made it onto the main card of a WrestleMania? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King of Old School Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 No. Unless they have a TLC match for the tag titles at this year's Mania with New Day, Dudleys etc then they probably never will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buba3d Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 That ending pretty much summed up the whole show, all over the place and a complete and utter mess  the only pass mark was stephs tits nearly falling out and vince flipping the bird but failing trying to disguise it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum1993 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 That main event was absolutely atrocious as was the entire show outside of the Heath Slater and friends skit. The Royal Rumble looks like it's doomed to fail again as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEGABUCKS Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Raw is really stale. Jericho in his promo even said the ratings, network subscribers and attendance has been low. I dont think WWE has ever admitted that on their broadcasts ever. Roman defending the title in the actual Rumble has got to be a last minute decision just to give it any interest. They might aswell make the rumble match a 3 hour long spectacular and have all their current superstars, past stars, legends, nxt guys, shock entries, celebrities and whoever they can think of to really make it Roman vs The World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 5, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2016 Well that was a big surprise. A Rumble match for the title. Makes me wonder what the fuck else is going to be on the show? But it does do away with the winner goes to WM angle in a year where there is no intrigue in that. Cheap way to get the title off Reigns for him to win back at WM? Put it on Cena or Triple H? Â At least there are some questions. Felt like another attitude era tribute show. A stable of jobbers. A guest referee. Refs getting knocked out all over the place. Announce table bumps. And Chris fucking Jericho. Looking like a cunt as usual. Â Wasn't a terrible show but wasn't much of interest/ Surprised how little it sold Smackdown ahead of it's move to USA this week. Â What's up with Vince McMahon's arms? The top half look like Ultimate Warrior circa 1990. The bottom half look like your Grandad's ten minutes after death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted January 5, 2016 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Called it! Â Me last Thursday in my Rumble match a day thread: You know, if Vince really wants to screw with Roman Reigns, he'd make him defend the title in this year's Rumble. Sod the 'main event of WrestleMania' stipulation, half the time they don't stick to it anyway. Anyway, the decision does at least give the Rumble some stakes. The last two have gone so not-to-plan and the two before that were pretty unmemorable so they may as well try something different. As long as they don't mention or reference or tease or do anything even slightly to do with Daniel Bryan between now and then, the crowd might even not shit on it!

The King of Old School Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I can certainly see Reigns getting down to the last 2 or 3 only for either HHH to eliminate him without being in the match, or for HHH to be number 30 and take the title to Mania. Â Either way, it's setting up Reigns/HHH for Mania, probably for the belt I'm thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Showtime Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 It read like a really good show anyway, some surprising moments, and I actually gasped when reading that the title will be on the line in the Rumble match. I'm guessing Triple H will cost Reigns the match right at the end, so they fight at Mania, with the title match being elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The match works really well assuming Reigns doesn't beat the odds and wins the Rumble again.  That wouldn't go down too well. But opens the door for Brock, HHH, Rock, Cena etc to take the belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted January 5, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2016 That wouldn't go down too well. But opens the door for Brock, HHH, Rock, Cena etc to take the belt.  Rock's struggling to get insurance for his next film. His risk with underwriters went up because he had to miss scheduled filming dates due to injury last time he wrestled (against Cena). I've got £10 that says Rock does not enter the Rumble or have any wrestling match between now and (inclusive of) WrestleMania 32.  I actually don't think he's ever wrestling again, but you can't really bet on "never."

The Duke Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Isn't HHH 1 behind cena and 2 behind flair in title reigns? I see Hunter winning the belt, Reigns winning it back at mania and then down the line you have Hunter v Cena for the belt to tie the record with flair Edited January 5, 2016 by The Duke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherCrapUsername Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Isn't HHH 1 behind cena and 2 behind flair in title reigns? I see Hunter winning the belt, Reigns winning it back at mania and then down the line you have Hunter v Cena for the belt to tie the record with flair To get to that scenario though, one of them would have to win the belt again which means that they'd have already tied the record.

Paid Members air_raid Posted January 5, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2016 Best as I can remember, Hunter won Big Gold 5 times and the WWE title 8 times, which at a total of 13 would leave him three reigns behind Flair's "official WWE total" of 16, if that was accurate. Which it isn't. Â Even in terms of reigns recognized on TV, Flair was champion 18 times. WWE are blissfully unaware that the total that WCW ran off between his return in 1993 and the company folding in 2001 (which had reached 16 by the end) ignored his two WWF title runs. They recognized 10 of his NWA title reigns and he was a 7 time holder of the WCW title with one of each being concurrent i.e. 16 separate reigns. Plus two WWF title reigns, makes 18. Not including all those unofficial switches in New Zealand, Singapore, Puerto Rico etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam O'Rourke Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Intriguing concept, but as already said by King of Old School, this is surely just a vehicle to get to Reigns Vs. HHH at Mania, and I can't see that match happening without the title given how pivotal they are making the belt to the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
