Watch the Survivor Series elimination match that was actually booked on the main show. Watch the entire main event too if you want some chuckles.

>>788883
How was that weird? Just face it, Roman is superior to you in every way conceivable. Stop being such a jealous obese beta smark who tries to nitpick non-existent flaws of people just because they are a salty jealous mark who is mad that their favourite wrestlers are shitty vanilla midgets who, much like themselves, are completely inferior to the big dog, Roman Reigns.

It's just a blanket statement about Roman in general, relax.
To be fair to him, at least he tried his best to run away from Paige on Total Divas.
>>788913
Probably thinking he's glad he wasn't wrestling tonight. And getting laid.

Did Cena get cashed in on any more than once a year? With RVD though, at least that was just turned into a match with a build for One Night Stand.

its called greeting people bruh, thats usually what people do if they say hi to you.

He is being grateful he wasn't fed to Ramen or cashed in on. I used to think his injury was horrible, but I'd rather have him give up the title than lose it.
>>788947

wrestlers aren't smarks, if they told him to do a job he'd do it because that's what he's paid to do and besides reigns is his friend

I have not watched wwe in a while but after SS i think i can safely say that Daniel bryan and the smark loud indy crowd have ruin wwe. They hate Roman that much that they get to have fucking shemus have be the champion its a joke.
Is Asuka/Kana Face or Heel?
>>789048
face
>>789043
WWE did it to themselves. They deserve pretty much all the negative feedback they get. Pretending to be an "anti-smark" just to be popular on an anime image board is pretty embarrassing. Also learn proper English before you come here next time you smelly Indian. I won't bother reading any more Youtube or Facebook comment section tier posts.

you are right, they should never have rehired daniel bryan, he never drew a dime either but somehow ruined the audience forever so much that they even destroyed big daves return that drew massive ratings.
>>789054
Only fuckboi here is you for is watching this trash.
>>789055
It drew a one-night curiosity pop which got fucking destroyed by Bryan's segments on RAWafterMania.
> never drew a dime
lol he only sold less merch than Cena despite not being nearly as supported by the company
>>789059
Aww, did somebody not get what they wanted?
Boo-Boo-Boo-BUHLEE...uhm, DAT
Is ADR's enziguri the best kick right now in the business? It's fucking crisp, every time
>>789055
Daniel Bryan has made the Royal rumble a worthless event because every year the crowd wants him to win. He has done so much damage to this fake sport its fucking crazy.
>>789068
Maybe they should've given him the win this year then
Or held off his return until after the match instead of using his presence to sucker people who paid to see him win
OR actually gave the win to somebody the crowd likes
> He has done so much damage
Your tears are so delicious.
They really couldn't have given roman a longer match? Especially when he gets cashed in on right after? What the fuck man, his match was less than 10 minutes and he is so tired he gets cashed in on lmfao what the fuck is this shit deanetty sucks
>>789073
He was already sucking wind long before this one ended
Apparently you don't need cardio to be The Face of WWE
>It's a shameass title reign
Thank fuck I skipped to the end of SS instead of wasting 3 hours on this shit.
>>789074
he literally did the same thing and was fine the raw where he got the #1 contender
Reigns is literally the autist that represents /wwe/, we should all support him and balee dat.
>>789077
You mean where he took a nap for most of that Fatal 4-Way?
>>789070
>somebody the crowd likes
Like who? Every time they give into the crowd it back fires and whoever has the belt gets hurt. Vince just needs to do whats right and put the trigger on roman.
>hey roman i want you to immediately start crying after you get cashed in on. this will get you over with the crowd
>>789083
> Like who?
Ambrose & Ziggler seemed like pretty hot choices that night...
> Every time they give into the crowd it back fires and whoever has the belt gets hurt.
Because it's not like Reigns has ever suffered an injury, nosiree.
> Vince just needs to do whats right and put the trigger on roman.
So he can get booed in mark towns?
Is Wrestlemania XXVIII worth checking out?
>>789075
If the WWE was smart they would have Sheamus lose the title to Reigns tonight on Raw where they would get the face reaction they want.
anything but Sheamus as the face of the Authority until Roman or Cena beats him in a Tables or Chairs match at TLC.
>mfw this will finally get most of the crowd apart from the retarded Owens lookalike smarks behind Reigns and when he finally gets a real title reign by getting his redemption over Sheamus it will be the start of a new golden era in the WWE and will officially cement bbygurl as the new top guy of the WWE.
>>789087
yes its one of the better wrestlemanias
>>789075
Mate you missed the part where the new WWE Champion Shaemo got embarrassed by the New Day and then pinned by Ryback.
>>789090
> booed in Hotlanta
Oh yeah, this is working out REAL well
How about that new Edge & Christian show
>>788879
Does anyone else think tonight was setting up Sheanys vs Bryan for Mania? Vince apparently has a hard-on for that match for some reason as he's already done it twice and Mania and was going to do it a third time in 2914 until plans were derailed.
That can't really try to insert Reigns in the main event now, can they?
>>789083
>not realising Cesaro is the most over person in the company right now
>never gets injured
>amazing in the ring
>le 4 ropes

Cesaro should be champ.
>>789086
Ambrose and Ziggler need more build up. Roman has main event a WM and won a rumble. The crowd is a problem and thanks to them we get shemass.
>>789096
cesaro literally just got injured last week

I'M AFRAID I GOT SOME BAD NEWS
>>789096
Well its a good thing Vince didn't give the belt to him because he might be out for some time.
>>789098
I assumed you were talking about THIS year's Royal Rumble.
Reigns hadn't main evented WrestleMania or won a Royal Rumble this year, so by your reasoning, he shouldn't have won.
> The crowd is problem
And yet, no other wrestling company on the planet has the problem of the crowd revolting against its booking.
Why do you think that is?
>>789095
> 2914
THE RIDE NEVER ENDS
Seriously, this is in no way intended to be setting up for Bryan getting what he should've gotten this year.
If Bryan gets the WrestleMania main event next year it'll be the most called audible ever.
The WWE has got to get rid of MITB, the match is great, but briefcase storyline is always terrible and has produced nothing but chickenshit champ after chickenshit champ
MITB briefcase match has produced only one match worth watching and even that match was a quasi screwjob,
.Boxing is a martial art and combat sport in which two people throw punches at each other, usually with gloved hands. Historically, the goals have been to weaken and knock down the opponent.
Amateur boxing is both an Olympic and Commonwealth sport and is a common fixture in most international games—it also has its own World Championships. Boxing is supervised by a referee over a series of one- to three-minute intervals called rounds. The result is decided when an opponent is deemed incapable to continue by a referee, is disqualified for breaking a rule, resigns by throwing in a towel, or is pronounced the winner or loser based on the judges' scorecards at the end of the contest. In the event that both fighters gain equal scores from the judges, the fight is considered a draw.
While people have fought in hand-to-hand combat since before the dawn of history, the origin of boxing as an organized sport may be its acceptance by the ancient Greeks as an Olympic game in BC 688. Boxing evolved from 16th- and 18th-century prizefights, largely in Great Britain, to the forerunner of modern boxing in the mid-19th century, again initially in Great Britain and later in the United States.
>>789108
>main event
>implying Undertaker's retirement won't be the main event
Also they'll probably let Reigns retire Undertaker thinking that'll get him over.
>>789111
The earliest known depiction of boxing comes from a Sumerian relief from the 3rd millennium BC.[1] Later depictions from the 2nd millennium BC are found in reliefs from the Mesopotamian nations of Assyria and Babylonia, and in Hittite art from Asia Minor. The earliest evidence for fist fighting with any kind of gloves can be found on Minoan Crete (c. 1500–900 BC), and on Sardinia, if we consider the boxing statues of Prama mountains (c. 2000–1000 BC).[1]
Boxing was a popular spectator sport in Ancient Rome. In order for the fighters to protect themselves against their opponents they wrapped leather thongs around their fists. Eventually harder leather was used and the thong soon became a weapon. The Romans even introduced metal studs to the thongs to make the cestus which then led to a more sinister weapon called the myrmex ('limb piercer').[citation needed] Fighting events were held at Roman Amphitheatres. The Roman form of boxing was often a fight until death to please the spectators who gathered at such events. However, especially in later times, purchased slaves and trained combat performers were valuable commodities, and their lives were not given up without due consideration. Often slaves were used against one another in a circle marked on the floor. This is where the term ring came from. In AD 393, during the Roman gladiator period, boxing was abolished due to excessive brutality. It was not until the late 17th century that boxing re-surfaced in London.
>>789113
Records of Classical boxing activity disappeared after the fall of the Western Roman Empire when the wearing of weapons became common once again and interest in fighting with the fists waned. However, there are detailed records of various fist-fighting sports that were maintained in different cities and provinces of Italy between the 12th and 17th centuries. There was also a sport in ancient Rus called Kulachniy Boy or "Fist Fighting".
As the wearing of swords became less common, there was renewed interest in fencing with the fists. The sport would later resurface in England during the early 16th century in the form of bare-knuckle boxing sometimes referred to as prizefighting. The first documented account of a bare-knuckle fight in England appeared in 1681 in the London Protestant Mercury, and the first English bare-knuckle champion was James Figg in 1719.[2] This is also the time when the word "boxing" first came to be used. It should be noted, that this earliest form of modern boxing was very different. Contests in Mr. Figg's time, in addition to fist fighting, also contained fencing and cudgeling. On 6 January 1681, the first recorded boxing match took place in Britain when Christopher Monck, 2nd Duke of Albemarle (and later Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica) engineered a bout between his butler and his butcher with the latter winning the prize.
Early fighting had no written rules. There were no weight divisions or round limits, and no referee. In general, it was extremely chaotic. The first boxing rules, called the Broughton's rules, were introduced by champion Jack Broughton in 1743 to protect fighters in the ring where deaths sometimes occurred.[3] Under these rules, if a man went down and could not continue after a count of 30 seconds, the fight was over. Hitting a downed fighter and grasping below the waist were prohibited.
>>789109
But it gave us the best Wrestlemania ending in years.
>>789115
That half empty stadium will look nice.
>>789117
Broughton encouraged the use of 'mufflers', a form of padded bandage or mitten, to be used in 'jousting' or sparring sessions in training, and in exhibition matches.
An early article on boxing was published in Nottingham, 1713, by Sir Thomas Parkyns, a successful Wrestler from Bunny, Nottinghamshire, who had practised the techniques he described. The article, a single page in his manual of wrestling and fencing, Progymnasmata: The inn-play, or Cornish-hugg wrestler, described a system of headbutting, punching, eye-gouging, chokes, and hard throws, not recognized in boxing today.[4]
Tom Cribb vs Tom Molineaux in a re-match for the heavyweight championship of England, 1811
These rules did allow the fighters an advantage not enjoyed by today's boxers; they permitted the fighter to drop to one knee to begin a 30-second count at any time. Thus a fighter realizing he was in trouble had an opportunity to recover. However, this was considered "unmanly"[5] and was frequently disallowed by additional rules negotiated by the Seconds of the Boxers.[6] Intentionally going down in modern boxing will cause the recovering fighter to lose points in the scoring system. Furthermore, as the contestants did not have heavy leather gloves and wristwraps to protect their hands, they used different punching technique to preserve their hands because the head was a common target to hit full out as almost all period manuals have powerful straight punches with the whole body behind them to the face (including forehead) as the basic blows.[7][8]

Maybe they should just book the briefcase holder better.

In 1838, the London Prize Ring rules were codified. Later revised in 1853, they stipulated the following:[9]
Fights occurred in a 24 feet (7.3 m)-square ring surrounded by ropes.
If a fighter were knocked down, he had to rise within 30 seconds under his own power to be allowed to continue.
Biting, headbutting and hitting below the belt were declared illegal.
Marquess of Queensberry rules (1867)[edit]
In 1867, the Marquess of Queensberry rules were drafted by John Chambers for amateur championships held at Lillie Bridge in London for Lightweights, Middleweights and Heavyweights. The rules were published under the patronage of the Marquess of Queensberry, whose name has always been associated with them.
There were twelve rules in all, and they specified that fights should be "a fair stand-up boxing match" in a 24-foot-square or similar ring. Rounds were three minutes with one-minute rest intervals between rounds. Each fighter was given a ten-second count if he were knocked down, and wrestling was banned.
The introduction of gloves of "fair-size" also changed the nature of the bouts. An average pair of boxing gloves resembles a bloated pair of mittens and are laced up around the wrists.[11] The gloves can be used to block an opponent's blows. As a result of their introduction, bouts became longer and more strategic with greater importance attached to defensive maneuvers such as slipping, bobbing, countering and angling. Because less defensive emphasis was placed on the use of the forearms and more on the gloves, the classical forearms outwards, torso leaning back stance of the bare knuckle boxer was modified to a more modern stance in which the torso is tilted forward and the hands are held closer to the face.
>>789124
Rollins was actually booked pretty strong for a while
>>789128
Through the late nineteenth century, the martial art of boxing or prizefighting was primarily a sport of dubious legitimacy. Outlawed in England and much of the United States, prizefights were often held at gambling venues and broken up by police.[12] Brawling and wrestling tactics continued, and riots at prizefights were common occurrences. Still, throughout this period, there arose some notable bare knuckle champions who developed fairly sophisticated fighting tactics.
Amateur Boxing Club, Wales 1963
The English case of R v. Coney in 1882 found that a bare-knuckle fight was an assault occasioning actual bodily harm, despite the consent of the participants. This marked the end of widespread public bare-knuckle contests in England.
The first world heavyweight champion under the Queensberry Rules was "Gentleman Jim" Corbett, who defeated John L. Sullivan in 1892 at the Pelican Athletic Club in New Orleans.[13]
The first instance of film censorship in the United States occurred in 1897 when several states banned the showing of prize fighting films from the state of Nevada,[14] where it was legal at the time.
Throughout the early twentieth century, boxers struggled to achieve legitimacy.[citation needed] They were aided by the influence of promoters like Tex Rickard and the popularity of great champions such as John L. Sullivan.
>>789130
The Marquess of Queensberry rules have been the general rules governing modern boxing since their publication in 1867.
A boxing match typically consists of a determined number of three-minute rounds, a total of up to 9 to 12 rounds. A minute is typically spent between each round with the fighters in their assigned corners receiving advice and attention from their coach and staff. The fight is controlled by a referee who works within the ring to judge and control the conduct of the fighters, rule on their ability to fight safely, count knocked-down fighters, and rule on fouls.
Up to three judges are typically present at ringside to score the bout and assign points to the boxers, based on punches that connect, defense, knockdowns, and other, more subjective, measures. Because of the open-ended style of boxing judging, many fights have controversial results, in which one or both fighters believe they have been "robbed" or unfairly denied a victory. Each fighter has an assigned corner of the ring, where his or her coach, as well as one or more "seconds" may administer to the fighter at the beginning of the fight and between rounds. Each boxer enters into the ring from their assigned corners at the beginning of each round and must cease fighting and return to their corner at the signaled end of each round.
When the Reigns and Sheamus rematch is set up for TLC it'll get booed so much they'll eventually have to make it a triple threat with someone, right?
>>789129
he won like one match against Kane without run ins galore, Jeez Louise they even had John Stuart of all people do a run in to keep the strap on Rollins for one more month.
Seth is the modern day Jeff Jarrett.
How much money do you think CM Punk is being offered right now?
>>789133
...as Mr. MITB, dummy.
Read a thread before you respond to it
>>789109
It's true they rely on it too much, and it's almost exclusively used by a heel or a face that does it on the cusp of a heel turn.
Put it on a face, build them slowly throughout the year and have them announce they're cashing in at WrestleMania after the Rumble to force a Triple Threat as a small swerve. Might seem like a silly move, but you can maybe justify it with a "always wanted to Main Event WM" or something.
>>789132
I don't think Sheamus will have the belt that long.
>>789138
He have until mania when he'll lose to Bryan.
>>789131
A bout in which the predetermined number of rounds passes is decided by the judges, and is said to "go the distance". The fighter with the higher score at the end of the fight is ruled the winner. With three judges, unanimous and split decisions are possible, as are draws. A boxer may win the bout before a decision is reached through a knock-out ; such bouts are said to have ended "inside the distance". If a fighter is knocked down during the fight, determined by whether the boxer touches the canvas floor of the ring with any part of their body other than the feet as a result of the opponent's punch and not a slip, as determined by the referee, the referee begins counting until the fighter returns to his or her feet and can continue.
Should the referee count to ten, then the knocked-down boxer is ruled "knocked out" (whether unconscious or not) and the other boxer is ruled the winner by knockout (KO). A "technical knock-out" (TKO) is possible as well, and is ruled by the referee, fight doctor, or a fighter's corner if a fighter is unable to safely continue to fight, based upon injuries or being judged unable to effectively defend themselves. Many jurisdictions and sanctioning agencies also have a "three-knockdown rule", in which three knockdowns in a given round result in a TKO. A TKO is considered a knockout in a fighter's record. A "standing eight" count rule may also be in effect. This gives the referee the right to step in and administer a count of eight to a fighter that he feels may be in danger, even if no knockdown has taken place. After counting the referee will observe the fighter, and decide if he is fit to continue. For scoring purposes, a standing eight count is treated as a knockdown.
I feel like Roman won't enter through the crowd at raw.
>>789140
In general, boxers are prohibited from hitting below the belt, holding, tripping, pushing, biting, or spitting. The boxer's shorts are raised so the opponent is not allowed to hit to the groin area with intent to cause pain or injury. Failure to abide by the former may result in a foul. They also are prohibited from kicking, head-butting, or hitting with any part of the arm other than the knuckles of a closed fist (including hitting with the elbow, shoulder or forearm, as well as with open gloves, the wrist, the inside, back or side of the hand). They are prohibited as well from hitting the back, back of the neck or head (called a "rabbit-punch") or the kidneys. They are prohibited from holding the ropes for support when punching, holding an opponent while punching, or ducking below the belt of their opponent (dropping below the waist of your opponent, no matter the distance between).
If a "clinch" – a defensive move in which a boxer wraps his or her opponents arms and holds on to create a pause – is broken by the referee, each fighter must take a full step back before punching again (alternatively, the referee may direct the fighters to "punch out" of the clinch). When a boxer is knocked down, the other boxer must immediately cease fighting and move to the furthest neutral corner of the ring until the referee has either ruled a knockout or called for the fight to continue
>>789141
Roman needs to have a towel over his head as he makes his way to the ring.
Why is everyone so mad? It was a good show apart from Sheamus cashing in.
>>789141

Nashville I believe
Roman needs to lose the shitty Shield vest.
KO needs to be not fat.

Yet Vince continues to book these "controversial" faces like Reigns and Cena against the very vocal wishes of the fans thinking that hes some sort of fucking genius thats using reverse pyschology. How can one man be so delusional and out of touch?
Wow, that jawbreaker lariat Ambrose did was actually good
>>789148

Is Reigns done? Why even keep pushing him at this point?
>>789157
Keep dreaming

That is almost definitely Meltz speculating and that being reported as fact
>>789177
He cares about ratings and attendance.
>>789181
Didn't stop him from Twice in a Lifetime, keeping Punk in second place, or holding back Daniel Bryan. Just enough kids like Reigns to keep him on top
>>789183
How does he not realize that kids like whoever they're told to like?
>>789181
Everything that's happened in the past 15 years debunks this
>>789185
He does -- which is precisely why he's getting them to like whoever HE likes, in this case Reigns
I feel like they're going to devise a really confusing alternate plan like pushing Ziggler or something.
>>789185
Realise?
He's very aware of it: that's his business model!
>haitch replaces his boy with his other boy
Feels weird when WWE does something that makes sense

I don't want to off Mr. Reigns' wild ride.
Why would vince keep pushing roman? It's been nearly a year and crowd reactions haven't gotten better. At what point does he realize that roman is a lost cause? Tonight felt like a last ditch attempt to get him over the same way Bryan got over big time in 2013 but it clearly didn't work. Why continue down this path?
So what's next lads
Who'll face Sheamus at WM
>>789198
Translated:
>Crowds are okay with Reigns as long he stays in the midcard where he belongs
>The second he's pushed to the main event he's not ready for, they hate him
>>789208
Bryan. It's been a slow burn this whole time.
>>789205
It doesn't matter if the crowd likes him, it matters if Vince likes him.
>>789212
>they show their first wrestlemania match in the build up
>>789214
He's stopped pushes before.
>>789215
>Sheamus squashes Bryan again in < 30 seconds and it becomes WrestleMania tradition.
What would take to get CM Punk back? I feel like Vince is panicking enough to do that. I bet if he was presented with a Lesnar contract and promises to make lives better for everyone on the roster in various ways he'd accept a deal. I think he only left to get himself a Lesnar contract eventually anyway.
>>789218
Only because he had to, not because he wanted to
>>789222
The wwe would only want him back for maybe a year just for a quick ratings boost. He was never more then a mid card guy to vince.
>>789226
>longest modern title reign
>mid-carder
>>789228
He was booked like a loser. Vince didn't want him on top of cena.
>>789231
That's because Vince wanted to be on top of Cena
>>789223
Is historically bad ratings and shit ticket sales not a situation that would make him have to?
Why did they make a mid carder the world wrestling entertainment champion of the world? He isn't a draw and one gives a shit about him. He is European champion level
>>789234
The company has been on a downward slide for almost 15 years and his booking has only gotten worse
You tell me.
>roman still can't have a singles match longer than 10 minutes unless paired with a great worker or its a spotfest
Why does Vince love Samoans so much?
>>789208
Sheamus won't be champion come WM. Even Vince isn't that stupid
>>788917
>Being over at Fullsail
>Meaning anything
Home of Finn Balor, their biggest draw
>>789067
It's a beautiful thing.
>>789241
He'll be champion until TMNT 2
>>789067
Apparently one of Alberto's family members saw his kicks early in his WWE run, called him up to say they were sloppy as fuck and went out of his way to personally teach him to hit them properly
>>789248
If they didn't put the belt on Dave for being Drax in Guardians they're not fucking keeping it on Sheamus for that long because he's a glorified extra
Predict the next five champions
>Brock (Royal Rumble 2016)
>Cena (WM32)
>Big E (cashes in MitB for a fair match at SummerSlam 2016 after turning face)
>Bray (Hell in a Cell 2016)
>CM Punk (WM33 after winning Royal Rumble in a surprise return)
>>789250
They were going to until they realised that they'd have a riot from angry D Bry fans
>>789256
Stop, I can only get so erect
>>789256
> not giving Big E a Royal Rumble win and WrestleMania main event
>>789256
Fucking horribly memed my friend
>Big E
>Bray Wyatt
>CM PUNK
>>789256
If change Cena to Bryan.
>>789261
> not loving Based E Langston
DON'T YOU DARE BE SOUR
>>789264
I love him but there's no way he's becoming WWE CHAMPION in 2016
If he does it will be a shock
>>789265
She's mud is champion. Right now.
>>789265
Yeah, but it'd be the good kind.
Big E is everything they think Reigns is and can follow in Cena's footsteps easily but he'll actually get over with "smarks" too.
He's a fucking goldmine
>>789256
>Reigns
>Cena
>Reigns
>Cena
>Reigns
>>789270
who's the heel?
>>789256
Reigns
Cena
Owens
Rollins
Ambrose
>>789269
Fucking hell. Big E marks need to chill.
B A S E D
>>789272
Vince bills it as face vs face. The fans see it as heel vs heel.
reminder that reigns already became a champion. and with that he will gain it again at wrestlemania. belee dat
I was hoping they'd do some kind of NXT Invasion storyline with that S MS match considering it was undecided until literally 5 minutes before the show. Or just anything with implications. It feels shitty when the titular match is just s collection of jobbers.
lol if Roman Reigns never attacked HHH he would have never been bro kicked and then he would have never lost his WWE world heavyweight championship of the world
>one year without Seth
Wonder if his gimmick will change
>Vince and Haitch got me to mark for Sheamus
Impressive desu
Wait, was Roman shoot crying?
>>789290
Does Natalie Portman shoot cry in every film she cries in?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e27Tea3iSzQ
>>789276
The way Roman lands and the petals clear away from his body. Just like in the Snake Eater.
POTTERY.
How long till the GOAT DBry saves WWE?
>>789272
They just keep passing the torch back and forth
>>789276
I swear my heart skipped a beat when Roman dodged that first Brogue attempt and bounced from the ropes
>>789043
>damage controlling for Vince and creative
Jesus lol. You WWMEME faggots really are pathetic.
>>789297
Bryan is going to win the rumble.
>>789276
So if Sheamus had failed his cash-in, What is next for Roman?
>>789305
The next Hulk Hogan
>>789305
Nothing. There's no fucking heels for him to go up against. As bad as it sounds, Sheamus cashing in was the best choice (discounting Roman turning heel, of course)
>>789305
Unbeatable superman with no odds to overcome
>>789297
Won't be cleared till after RR so he doesn't ruin WWEs plans again
So say the Authority storyline continues, and it's vs Reigns and Ambrose now. They pretty much get their asses handed to them, the whole year. Also, in that year, Sheamus still hates manlets and says Seth was a weak champ because he was a manlet. This will be a pre-cursor for the Shield reunion. Yay or nay?
Who would win, prime Hulk Hogan vs underdog rematch Cena?
>>789109
It is just stupid that they use the MITB every year to get the belt off of the face champion. Never does the face lose clean when he loses the belt (MITB isn't clean imo).
The idea of it is amazing, but the execution of it has been lackluster, with Seth being the only one done correctly.
>>789312
Well, Cena certainly had worthy opponents, though
>rematch with JBL
>Kurt fucking Angle
>Jericho
>Christian, to a minor extent
>Edge
>Triple HHH
Yeah, crowds were turning against him, but those matches fucking drew.
>>789317
>this faget already forgot Ziggy's cash in
>>789319
Well Triple H was in the 2nd reign. But I see your point
Is there anyone, within reason, that could turn everything around with a title win now?

GET HYPED
>job to lucha dragons
>world heavyweight champion an hour later
>the state of WWE
>>789324
I would put the belt on undertaker.
>>789327
You know that actually makes sense if WM is his last match.
>>789321
Because it was the most forgettable shitty cash-in in WWE history. Even Sandow's cash in was more memorable for how badly he got buried from losing it. Fuck Ziggler.
>>789321
>Seeing that shit live
There may never be as glorious a cash-in again. The months of frustration, the smark Euro-Crowd cheering him on, the fear when Del Rio got him in the arm breaker.
>>789326
tbqh that match heavily foreshadowed the cash-in.
he held his own in a 3v1 handicap looking strong while commentary barely made any mention of his MitB
typical shitty wwe writing
>>789327
>>789329
>Taker wins belt at Royal Rumble
>Wyatt Family plow through the rumble
>they're the last 4 in the ring
>Luke, Erick, and Braun leave voluntarily
>Bray wins
>faces taker at mania
>wins belts and retires taker
>cements self as top heel and a legitimate threat
>also closes a feud
Wyatt could lose the belt not long or vacate it because he doesn't care about material possessions or whatever but this would make a ton of sense actually.
Thoughts?
>>789330
Who pissed in your cereal?
>>788902
I thought the same thing. Turns out people thought it was good. It was so slow, and the climax was a botched spear and tap out completely ruining Paige's heat.
>>789333
>Bray Wyatt: The New face of jobbers
>ever winning anything
kek m8, he's jobbing to Ziggler next month or something before Jobercho returns and beats him
>>789333
trips confirm
>>789334
SLATER CHAMP WHEN?
>>789316
Taker at Mania
>>789331
Watched that live shit at work, my boss almost killed me because I yelled when IM HERE TO SHOVEL WORMS hit
>all dem WE WANT ZIGGLES chants the night before
>all dem WE WANT ZIGGLES chants the match before
>dat pop when it happened
>>789157
Fuck that
>>789157
It would be the worst thing since Alberto winning it.
>>789157
he will never wrestle again
fucking hell, just watched the backstage promo with Owens and Roman
Roman is an absolute joke on the mic compared to KO
>>789348
>g-gonna fight at the top of wwe
Holy shit is Roman bad on the mic.
>>789348
YEAH YEAH ALRIGHT
BALEE DAT
>>789350
>THAT WHAT KO DOES RUN HIS MOUF NOW HE GONNA BE BEAT BY AMBROSE
>>789055
This is a month before the royal rumble
>Guys did you know Batista's coming back for the royal rumble
>We all know Batista's coming back but that doesn't matter...
>I'm coming back for the royal rumble
And then he won. Royal Rumble is a match with 30 or 40 people for that whole month people were only talking about Batista who didn't hadn't been wrestling for years.
Roman was the same. He was injured for 6 months, came back and immediately one the Rumble, after being second the previous year. If that didn't happen and he was pushed for this year. Thing's would not have been so dire. This year, as everyone assumes Reigns is going in champ. The only person who can ruin the rumble is Cena. Just because he's Cena.
