TheGoon Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Any reason as to why Reigns is out of the match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doog Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Reigns has meningitus as well according to Ryan Satin. Going to be interesting on Sunday now, Gutting that the Angle return is being rushed because of this, could have been a good WrestleMania story. Got to assume Reigns and Wyatt will probably miss the UK tour now as well! Kevin Owens has also left the Smackdown tour due to personal reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D@mm Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Probably due to the meningitis scare a few of the other wrestlers have had or some sort of virus that is going around, TLC has suddenly become a must watch show for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I guess they probably felt they had to deliver something top notch to replace the Shield reunion. Fair play to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 From a storyline point of view I would like to see Miz win on Sunday and let the Shield (and even Angle if you did the traditional match) get the win back at Survivor Series. I'm surprised WWE didn't have Reigns taken out in storyline terms though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstnameunknown Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 That main even was random as fuck already... and now it’s not even the reunited Shield and instead it’s going to feature a completely meaningless and nonsensical return of Kurt Angle?!

TheGoon Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 That's nuts has it happened to the smack down roster as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted October 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 20, 2017 I saw Kurt Angle trending and feared he'd got another DUI. This is a very welcome surprise. Kurt Angle will never not be a draw in my gaff. Even my Mum thought he was a bit of alright, back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted October 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 20, 2017 On one hand it's fantastic Kurt Angle is back but on the other it's an absolute waste of a storyline. What reason does he have to step into this match? AJ vs Balor is infintely more interesting than Bray, but again that's a potential storyline down the pan.

Paid Members Supremo Posted October 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 20, 2017 I understand they've panicked, but wow. Kurt wrestling and Balor vs. Styles feels like two Wrestlemania moments being spunked away to save a B show no-one was going to buy anyway.

Kurt wrestling and Balor vs. Styles feels like two Wrestlemania moments being spunked away to save a B show no-one was going to buy anyway. Cena vs Reigns, Braun vs Brock, AJ vs Finn and Kurt's return is a WrestleMania line up. All spunked away in September/October. Crazy times we're living in.

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted October 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 20, 2017 It's mad, but it's a welcome change of pace from them usually phoning it in this time of year. Usually this time of year Sheamus gets a run with the world title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted October 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 20, 2017 Symptom of having to fill so much airtime. Umpteen hours of original TV each week, and seemingly a PPV every weekend too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaheer Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Can we stop all this nonsense about wasting things on b shows and realise we are in 2017 where the landscape of pretty much everything has changed? Wrestlemania will always sell itself. They need to do what they can to maintain subscribers. What an intriguing set of changes and infinitely made TLC more interesting. Can't we enjoy wrestling anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
