Yeah I was thinking that as I put those together. The injuries just killed WWE this year though. There's not much they can do about that.

 

[Aeon Mathix]

If Cena beats Lesnar for the title at Royal Rumble doesn't that kind of make ending the streak pointless? Isn't whoever beats Lesnar supposed to get the rub of a lifetime? Yeah Cena would have the title and they could actually idk build to something but almost everyone has beaten Cena in one way or another. It wouldn't be anywhere near as big as defeating Lesnar. Especially if Lesnar leaves for good after Mania (hey Brock nice working with you, hope you enjoyed that accomplishment of ending the Undertaker's streak good luck in UFC!) they could play up whoever beat him sent him into a retirement or something.

So who is now the biggest name to never sign with WWE.

I'd say AJ Styles regardless of the one match he had on Heat or whatever it was

Not really. There's a disconnect i there.

Ummmm.....you might have to go out of America for that one. Muta maybe?

Thoughts on this for Sunday.

In the Rollins-Cena match, Orton returns and RKOs Rollins. Then, Orton RKOs Cena and puts him through the table to cost him his title match against Brock at the Rumble. The next night on Raw, Orton says to Cena that he's against the Authority now but that he also wants to be the WWE WHC again and that's why he cost him the match. Jericho makes Orton-Cena for Raw and Orton wins to make himself #1 Contender, then against Brock he's about to win the title and Rollins costs him the match to possibly set up Rollins-Orton for Mania.

 

[klunderbunker]

Not likely. Too complicated and we don't need Orton vs. Cena again.

 

[L@RISANO]

IF Reigns is getting backlash close to Mania during his programme with Brock Lesnar, and it's too late to go into another direction...do they have Reigns go over and then turn heel? Maybe align himself with Paul Heyman as the replacement for the outgoing Brock?

 

[klunderbunker]

I can't imagine it. He's going to be the guy becuase that's what WWE has decided.

 

[L@RISANO]

After doing some research on Facebook, I've seen that Reigns(5.2mil) has double the amount of followers that Ambrose(2.1mil) has and likewise, double of Rollins(1.6mil).

Is that an indication somewhat, that Reigns is much more over with the casuals than his former Shield brethren?
Also, Daniel Bryan only has 5.6mil followers despite his obvious overness with live crowds...any idea why that is?

Ofc, Cena is far ahead with 35mil, which reinforces why he remains the Main Guy in the company...

 

[klunderbunker]

Eh I don't put much stock in that. WWE decides what matters on that front and makes up whatever accomplishments they decide are good.

Still, interesting in that it's some evidence of the huge gulf of disconnect between the IWC marks and the casuals.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah it really is. Again, a lot of people around here get sick of CEna, but no one gets reactions like he does. It's far better to have them react at all than to just sit there silently or to start cheering for Lawler.

The only thing worse than dead silence (crickets) is an arena filled with bad heat (apparently called X-Pac heat these days). If you're getting either of those you got some serious problems.

Hell, I think Cena's stale as all get out and could use a serious makeover and probably a sabbatical from the top of the card for a while but even so I don't "get" the abject hate he gets from the IWC marks. It's a head scratcher from my perspective. I figure Cena needs to be on the good end of a refresher, the IWC figures he needs to be on the bad end of an execution.

 

[klunderbunker]

I get that people are tired of him, but it's not like he's terrible. His matches stay great and the people care about him. There aren't many people ever who can say that.

Very true, which is why all the IWC hate baffles me. Then again, there's a kind of "hipster" mentality that runs through the IWC so maybe that's the answer.

 

[Vageena Hertz]

Was Chyna born a man?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not that I'm aware of.

 

[Vega]

Then again if you're not a fan of finisher galore you're gonna have a bad time. It's like when he plans a match with an opponent he goes: "Today is special, so we'll do seven finishers instead of standard four."

Here's a somewhat outlandish idea, but would pairing Reigns with Undertaker work?
I'm not THAT sold of Reigns but he gives me some Taker vibes in a good way. I'm not saying to make him a straight out zombie incarnation, but I believe he'd work much better as the background badass that can save the day than as the frontline franchise player that crushes anyone. His "cool guy" promos don't really work for me as he seems like a man of few words who prefers to just do business.
I imagine Undertaker accompanying Reigns to avenge his loss and outweighing Heyman to be a cool sight and it'd certainly legitimize Reigns. Hell, even 3-0 flashing over the screen afterwards might be cool, and it would get something out of the streak for the future.

 

[klunderbunker]

He comes off as more like a Batista to me than anything else. The Streak isn't going to be a thing for anyone else.

 

[DontshowfearBunny]

You have probably been asked this question alot.

Who is the most under utilized wrestler in WWE right now?

 

[klunderbunker]

The cliched answer would be Cesaro but I'll go Zayn. The guy should have been on the main roster like a year ago.

 

[Vega]

Batista always seemed much colder-hearted to me. This is kind of what they try with Reigns, but I don't buy it.

Is he your favorite to dethrone Lesnar if he makes it to Mania with the title?

Here's what I'd like:
1. Daniel Bryan (miraculous comeback)
2. Adrian Neville (total curveball, probably wouldn't work, but man I'd mark)
3. Roman Reigns
4. Undertaker
…
997. El Torito
998. Cameron
999. John Cena
1000. The Rock (way to make your roster look like shit, especially if he vacates the title afterwards)

Your take on Neville, what's his potential? I've been nothing but impressed and would be surprised if he doesn't at least fill an RVD type role.

 

[klunderbunker]

Neville is good but that accent is going to hurt him. I could see the Van DAm thing.

 

[DontshowfearBunny]

Most underrated royal rumble?

 

[klunderbunker]

2011. The ending was excellent.
