Who says he has a gun back there? The same talent who made all these allegations? That's not exactly a credible source for everything. Also, how do you know it was dropped due to intimidation?

I really don't think you can say HHH is creating such an environment as it seems to have been around for a long time.

What it seems we have here is you instantly deciding that someone is guilty based on the statements of the people and blaming it on HHH for not firing the person immediately.

Devlin. He states that it had been seen by people in developmental (I believe he names Connor and Rusev, although I'm not sure about the latter)

The same talent who made all these allegations? That's not exactly a credible source for everything. Also, how do you know it was dropped due to intimidation?

He did an interview. It wasn't dropped due to intimidation, but him denying the questions DeMott asked, which he did because being isolated in a room where you know there to be a gun with someone violent and abusive tends to be quite intimidating.

Around DeMott for a long time. DSW was prior to HHH having any input into developmental. DeMott was hired on Hunters watch though, and he replaced Tom Prichard, about whom I have not heard complaints about.

He's had two years. In that time his reaction to complaints, no matter if they came from current or former employees has to been disregard and discredit them. Combine that with ADR and Ricardo Rodriguez saying he's racist and it doesn't look good for Hunter. Even leaving aside the racism allegations, informing someone who is apparently being abusive who made a complaint is not a good way to handle things.

 

[klunderbunker]

So one person who has made most of the allegations. See my earlier rebuttals.

Again, rumors without any proof. There's a difference between being tough and being abusive. Now these allegations sound more serious, but I'd want more proof than just one person saying it and others saying "yeah he's rough."

So.....more disgruntled employees. You're not proving much to me here.

Daniel Bryan:

I've seen many saying he will be the new Y2J on the roster, however I hope he follows in his mentor, HBK's footsteps and becomes someone who can be in great sidefeuds with the occasional foray into Main Event territory, that is, assuming he isn't on borrowed time due to his neck problems.

 

[klunderbunker]

It's much more Shawn than Jericho. Jericho got over far more on charisma than in ring abilities, though he was no slouch in the ring. Shawn is the opposite: got over on in ring abilities and had good but not great charisma. Shawn also found that perfect niche of self-depreciating comedy for himself. Bryan hasn't found that yet but he's got more than enough time.

 

[L@RISANO]

Do you think DB is on 'borrowed time" due to his neck problem, or is the WWE just finding a way to protect their huge WM30 investment to get the best 'mileage' possible out of him going forward?

 

[klunderbunker]

The latter.

Is there a better hype video than Rock v Austin WM17?

 

[Thriller Ant]

Who do you think takes over training at the Performance Center?

Not that I've seen.

Who do you think takes over training at the Performance Center?

Whoever is second in command. They have so many trainers down there that you can't keep track of them.

 

[Vageena Hertz]

Has anyone lost more WWE title matches at Wrestlemania more than The Rock?

 

[klunderbunker]

As in world title? I don't think so.

 

[Lee]

Bo's been pictured with a beard. Is he going to follow his brother and the buzzards.

 

[klunderbunker]

I doubt it. At least I hope not.

 

[Lee]

Me either, just was in before someone genuinely thinks it'll happen.

Bray does need the family back though, right?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not immediately. I like where he's going, assuming he wins the Wrestlemania match.

 

[Con T.]

Out of the realm of belief that this has to do with any of what's going on? And do you believe her?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not at all. I don't see a reason not to. She's good looking, talented and different, but she's not good enough to keep a job? That sounds fishy.

Would you consider this a good Wrestlemania 31 line-up?

Wrestlemania 31​

WWE Intercontinental: Bad News Barrett vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler (c) vs. Sheamus
Andre The Giant 15-Man Battle Royal: Curtis Axel
3v3: The Authority vs. The New Day
Retirement Match: Goldust vs. Stardust
WWE Tag Team: The Usos vs. The Wyatt Family vs. Cesaro/Kidd (c) vs. The Ascension
WWE Russian/US Championship: Alexander Rusev (c) vs. John Cena
Singles Match: Bray Wyatt vs. Triple H
Triangle Match: Dean Ambrose vs. Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins
Divas Tag: AJ Lee & Paige vs. The Bella Twins
WWE World Heavyweight: Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Randy Orton (though quickly pinned by Seth Rollins via Money in the Bank)

Changes include a Wyatt family tweener reunification at the Royal Rumble, Randy Orton returning at the Rumble to dump out Roman Reigns at no. 30, Ascension having a little bit more respect from the WWE, Cena actually wanting to chase after Rusev after a title renaming, the Axelmania thing resulting in him in ATG's battle royal and winning it, Mark Henry returning as a heel to work with Kane and Big Show vs. The New Day, a chaotic Bray Wyatt working tweener versus the ultimate control freak in Triple H, the Goldust-Stardust stuff actually getting a match, and a three-way Shield match, because duh, that's license to print money and only helps all three.

Authority vs. New Day would be bad. I'm not wild on a four way tag title match and a triple threat on the same show. Not bad for the most part though, but Sting needs to be int here somewhere.

I think somewhat respectfully of the ring capabilities of all six men (even if I'm sick of the Authority trio going over), and it'd be a match to put over New Day. I couldn't cut Ascension because then it'd just be a triple threat tag match with an existing triple threat singles.

The Triple threat needs to happen while the Shield heat still lasts, and it'd be a good way to get Rollins out of suspicion for a cash-in, while setting him up with quick challengers not named Randy Orton down the line post-Mania.

I personally sort of don't want Sting at Wrestlemania by this point, if only because I can't buy the hype much what with the lack of appearances. Same for Undertaker, which I suppose is the loss of hype for the set-list.

I considered at one point a superstar tag-match between Sting/Taker vs. Wyatt/HHH, but I don't know if that would sate anyone.

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm fine with the Shield triple threat, even though that could headline the show someday.

 

[MrHashasheen]

No doubt, but that Triple threat would be different than this one. Sort of how like all three of the Austin-Rock main events at Mania didn't have the same story.

Whatever happened to Rollins and Heyman being a team?

Do you think that Cena would somehow injure Lana (she is going to be a movie sometime soon) to force Rusev to accept his match or is it too heelish for someone like Cena?

 

[klunderbunker]

That seemed to just be a thing for the Rumble. Rollins doesn't need Heyman.

Too heelish.
