[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

Best and worst chants from last nights Raw?
If you can provide a summary of the chants you heard at the show as some of them were tough to make out through the tv?

 

[MrHashasheen]

Lexington, Lexington, Lexington, Lexington and Lexington.

I'll let you guess why.

Where would you even have it in Lexington?

I don't think so. It seemed like a rib.

Best: John Cena Sucks to the tune of the music.

Worst: WE ARE AWESOME. No, you're not.

Commonwealth Stadium. It holds 70,000.

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

Who do you anticipate taking over Cole's role as lead announce now that he has been/will be written off of tv due to the attack?

 

[klunderbunker]

Probably Saxton or Phillips.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

Why not Renee? I feel like it's finally the perfect time to do it.

 

[klunderbunker]

BEcause I don't want her to be ruined.

 

[Aeon Mathix]

Could you link me to the review for Cesaro vs Sami Zayn (first match not the Arrival one)?

Would you say Renee is the Mean Gene of the modern era?

What does it say that more critical analysts of WWE (Meltzer, mainstream reporters etc...) have praised Mania - Meltzer called it 'one of the best show's I've ever seen'?

 

[klunderbunker]

Nah. Gene had more of a used car salesman style to him. Rene is much more smart and polished.

That it's high and won't last under more inspection. It's very good, but there are a lot of shows solidly above it.

 

[Skuzzy]

were you hoping for Goldberg to come out and even the odds between dx vs nwo? or at least DDP no?

 

[klunderbunker]

Nah. Those were the core groups and there were already enough names out there.

How much do you think Bram is counting his lucky stars that he isn't in the Ascension anymore?

 

[Rayne]

I was thinking about the walking, talking minstrel show that R-Truth's become, and got to thinking- you're far more of a professional wrestling encyclopedia than most other people I know, can you remember the last time two black men fought for the WWE championship?

If it helps, doing a bit of research the only black champion I can find for the WWE Championship is The Rock (side thought: holy shit, really?), last holding the belt in 2002. The World Heavyweight Championship might be a bit easier, with Booker T and Mark Henry having runs in the recent past.

 

[Барбоса]

Rock defeated Booker T for the "WCW" title during the Invasion.

Can't think of any others for either world title.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

With all the strange gimmicks he's been saddled with, though still done mostly a good job with, could you ever take Cody Rhodes seriously again as just plain Cody Rhodes? I'd think it would require some time off at least.

 

[Kris Benwa]

How do you think Bryan and Cena should hold their respective titles? I'd like to see them have nice long reigns that way when they're beaten for them it means something. I like the idea of Cena's open challenge but I would hate to have to read all the bitching and moaning about Cena burying the roster every week.

Do you think with Cena's already established drawing power as it were, the story behind it and Cena representing America, the match with a well booked undefeated Rusev could have headlined a Wrestlemania either for the WWE title or just for which is the superior country? Obviously without Brock Lesnar around or another match that would be built up more importantly.

Oh quite a bit. It's hurting him short term but he's going to be back in WWE one day.

For the WWE Title? It would be Rock and Booker and that's it as far as I can think of.

I did a quick look and other than some tag matches against Lashley, Booker and Henry never fought any other black men.

It would but the problem is he's never done well as just plain Cody. At the end of the day, that's a boring character, just like Dustin Rhodes.

I'd say 4-5 months or so. The opening challenges are good as I can explain why they aren't burying anyone.

It could have but the America stuff worked.

On another site, I saw someone write that Dean Ambrose is being buried since he loses most, if not all of his 'big' matches.

Now, the way I see it, is that Dean Ambrose is getting a sympathetic "slow burn" where he'll either explode eventually in the DB Underdog mold or through a Heel turn.
The key thing about Ambrose is that through his brilliant feud with Rollins, he gained some very important goodwill and a solid fan following that will undoubtedly serve him well for when the WWE is ready to give him a Major Push.


your thoughts?

 

[klunderbunker]

You don't get buried if you're in a title match after coming off a feud where you main evented a pay per view.

 

[Shocky]

Now that ppv is dead, with 1.3 million subscribers, the WWE loses on Mania. What are the chances a big network throws $30 million or more to broadcast Mania live?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not likely. I wouldn't be surprised if Mania wasn't included in the standard WWE Network deal next year though.
