Of course they are. It's wrestling on the internet.

 

[Vageena Hertz]

How much did they screw up the Higher Power story?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not at all actually. There wasn't much they could do with it other than Vince, unless they could buy Warrior or Roberts for a quick run.

Lesnar vs. Cena for the Rumble, Lesnar retains but Rollins comes out with Money in the Bank to steal the title in shock upset. Come Royal Rumble same night, no.30 spot is Brock Lesnar, Reigns is in the ring with a few other finalists (Orton, Cena, Ambrose, Wyatt, etc...) and they all go for Lesnar and he's basically fighting everyone else off and seems like he's legit winning. Maybe eliminates Cena and Ambrose, then has a stare off with the remaining three guys. Wyatt smiles, turns to Orton to fight while Reigns and Lesnar trade shots like fuck. Wyatt and Orton double eliminate themselves for a feud at Wrestlemania, while Reigns Superman Punches Lesnar out of the ring to face Rollins at Wrestlemania.

Thoughts, and the question here is whether Lesnar's rematch clause should also be at Wrestlemania, making it a triple threat, or should it precede at Elimination Chamber?

I never understood the hoopla over Undertaker vs Sting and think Triple H vs Sting is set for Mania which is great, but if something MUST happen between Taker and Sting how about this?

Undertaker is announced for the Hall of Fame, he comes out and does his thank you speech, Sting's music hits he goes to the ring and has like a 2 minute staredown with Taker and they shake hands as Taker leaves and it's done.

By the way I hope i didn't come off as a jerk on your website, was just pointing something out about the reviews. Really have enjoyed them the last week with much more thoughts.

I've heard worse ideas. I'm not sure I'd go with it though. The key to this whole season though is suddenly there are options, and it makes things more exciting.

Preach it brother. I got it about 15 years ago but not now.

Not at all. I need that kind of feedback.

Why do people think the Rumble is predictable when it really isnt? We actually could be looking at a Rumble field that includes the likes of Reigns, Orton, Rusev, Ziggler, Rollins, Ryback and then some other surprises. Surely that will be something to look forward to this year amidst the Reigns will win predictions...

 

[Барбоса]

Do you know of any talent being given an intentionally bad gimmick in order to 'rebel' against it?

The problem is a lot of those people aren't realistic threats of winning the match.

Not off the top of my head, but I have heard of people being given bad gimmicks to see what they can do with them.

Do you think it could be an approach to be used right now, especially with characters such at Bray Wyatt, Storm's Revolution and even Ascension to take such disgruntled characters into their ranks in the same way that the Nation did with Rocky?

And I still think that even with Kofi amongst them, New Day is a heel team in the making.

 

[klunderbunker]

Kind of yeah. It protects them from having to be on their own and lets them grow a personality.

What, then, did you think of the 3MB gimmick? Did you have the notion it was originally intended as something a bit more serious than the way it turned out?

How do you think the 3 patricipants felt about it?

 

[klunderbunker]

I liked it, though I don't think anyone expected it to go much higher than it did. Now there was a point where it showed potential: when they did the Behind the Music bit. After that they were just comedy jobbers.

I can't imagine they complained as they weren't doing anything else on their own.

 

[ExplicitMoxViolence]

After what he's just tweeted, does Daniel Bryan retire tonight?

 

[klunderbunker]

My instinct says no, which means he likely will.

 

[L@RISANO]

That is true, but only because WWE has booked it in such a direction which kinds of messes things up,lMO. If there was a time for the Rumble to be unpredictable, this year would have been perfect given the new guys being pushed, and the few others who have gotten reboots and newfound momentum.

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

Who would make a good Intercontinental and U.S. Champion is your opinion?

 

[klunderbunker]

Zayn and Rusev.

 

[Vega]

With Bryan returning, is him winning the Rumble pretty much a given?
For once, I doubt the crowd will accept Bryan being eliminated in his return after nine months and his career in peril, especially in favor of another babyface.
Secondly, isn't the authority returning just the same night and with Lesnar in pack a bit too convenient? It makes much more sense with Bryan as the conqueror instead of Reigns.
Then, Bryan - Lesnar is pretty much guaranteed to be legendary while with Reigns, eh, it feels more like the WM21 main event.

 

[klunderbunker]

Not at all.

Depends on how he's eliminated.

I'd buy it, but that's trying to make lighting strike twice. It could happen, but I'd be skeptical about it working.

It could, which makes sense as I've thought Reigns is more like Batista than Cena.

 

[L@RISANO]

With regards to what Vega said: I dont agree with Reigns conquering being less than Bryan as Reigns has yet to actually avenge like he promised post-SHIELD. So both guys have claims to dethroning the Authority.

That said my real question is: How do they write Cena in terms of his relationship with the other babyfaces after what he did last night, albeit under pressure to save Edge?

 

[Baller]

Is it me or is it obvious Orton is gonna win the rumble to be the next to take on the Authority? He beats Lesnar at Mania, Rollins eventually cashes in and we got our feud for the summer.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Do you think they brought back DB early (as in not a surprise entrant) to set up the storyline that's going to screw him out of winning the RR? This might also lessen the blow to the fans when he gets eliminated.

Also, are you surprised by his return? Do you think he did it to get in on WM31 (and that payday of course)?

 

[Aeon Mathix]

Just wanted your thoughts on one of the posts I made to see if you agree with it or not.

So Cena returned the Authority to save some guy that invaded his house and smacked his dad around and made his life hell for around 4 years? Gotcha.

Everyone knew this was coming. People around here complaining about Ziggler's push being wasted need to face facts. Ziggler was never going anywhere after that match. It was a great performance and moment for him but in the end it could have been ANYONE else in that spot and the end result was still going to be all about Sting debuting and facing Triple H at Wrestlemania. Ziggler is going to stay in the same spot he's been in for about 8 years now and that's how it should be. He reached his peak already and now it's time to just let it go. There is no room for him to succeed with this tremendous group of younger more talented stars coming up.

Am I surprised the Authority is back already and we wasted about 4 weeks or so? No because this is WWE and therefore Triple H and Stephanie must be shoved into the spotlight as much as possible. It could have been a LOT better by just having Triple H show up randomly returning as not a business man or the CEO, but a man who wants revenge on Sting and Wrestlemania writes itself. WWE is too afraid to try anything new which is why we are stuck with the Authority again taking up about half of Raw every week because people are begging for more of them. Such is life in WWE.
