Styles Clash injury angle by SummerSlam?

 

[Blade]

Where the hell is the angle with Shane going? I expect Cena or someone to take his place in the match, but surely Shane isn't actually going to replace the Authority as the Raw GM?

 

[klunderbunker]

So... why does the prospect of Shane wrestling at Mania mean anything good? I mean, it's nice to see him, he's not been around since like 2009 or something, but I'm not seeing the appeal of him getting the Undertaker match.

Am I missing something, or is this just a generational thing between older fans and newer ones?

The nostalgia pop was the big appeal but it's hard to imagine that's where they go.

Nah.

I could see him replacing them, but there's always the chance that Undertaker wins and the whole thing is forgotten.

It's a shame they didn't turn Reigns heel, a heel Reigns feuding with Taker for the WWE title & Shane feuding with Triple H for control of RAW just seems like it would be a better direction to go. That said I have no doubt Shane & Taker will put on a hell of a show.

 

[klunderbunker]

That would seem to make the most sense.

The announcement of Shane v Taker has left me very underwhelmed, are you the same?

 

[MrHashasheen]

Is it just me, or was Fastlane a perfect oppurtunity for a Elimination Chamber Match? You throw in Ambrose, Reigns and Lesnar, then add in Rusev, Sheamus and Barrett (if healthy, if not some random). The heels try and play spoiler, get stacked by Lesnar and you use it to keep Lesnar and Ambrose protected.

Not really as I get to see a Cell match live.

Really not a fan of those on the February show.

Where are your Mania seats?

Attending with anyone I know?

Any other events on tap for that weekend?

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

At what point in time (weather its documented or a assumption on your part) did WWE know that Stone Cold was their next top guy?

If that timeframe is anytime before SummerSlam 97, how much differently would have his build to the top had been? Would they have still waited till Mania 14 for him to win the title? Or does he get it sooner?

Upper deck due to Stub Hub screwing up events for everyone.

A certain pretty brunette with a British accent.

Takeover, Axxess, Raw.

Wrestlemania against Bret at the latest.

Nah it was always Mania 14, though there was a chance he would get a quick title reign all the way back in February 1997 at Final Four.

Elizabeth Hurley?

Elizabeth Hurley?

That's not the worst idea in the world.

Odds Shane actually wrestles Taker?

I'm thinking this is a ploy to delay a possible Cena announcement depending on how his recovery is going.

If Cena can't go, do they pick someone else or does Taker take Shane's side?

 

[Poop Master Flex]

Considering Cena is most likely out this Mania due to injury (realistically how many times can this guy heal from a major injury in 2-3 months?) who is a better option for the Cell match than Shane? With what they have left I don't see any better scenario then what we got Monday, even if it is out of left field.

We'll go with unlikely.

I've thought the Cena thing too, but they need to make sure he's ready and not going to cause himself long term damage.

Reigns, but that's not going to happen.

 

[Da Prophet]

Will the Mania reaction going to be better or worse than last year for Reigns?

Will anyone get a more positive reaction than Hunter?

 

[klunderbunker]

Worse.

Undertaker.

 

[latino World order]

Does Undertaker being backed by Vince mean that we're in for some overdue heel Taker work, as long as he faces a babyface Shane?

 

[klunderbunker]

Nah. I really don't see them going there.

Hey,

How does WWE answer this question.

Most of the WWE audience has never seen A.J. Styles before. Big % have never heard of him.

If WWE believes they are the only company who can create stars, how do they explain him being so instantly over?

 

[Da Prophet]

The final two Raws before Mania are in Philadelphia and Brooklyn.

What should they do with Reigns in these places considering they'll likely boo him out of the building during the final two week build to Mania?

They don't. As always.

Brace themselves as it's not going to be pretty.

Back in 2009/2010 we were heading into the Carter/Bischoff/Hogan era for TNA. I remember being on here back then, but I wasn't really following you at the time. How did you react to the news that that would be happening?

And as a sidenote... we had rumors of Paul Heyman or Jim Ross coming into TNA for a couple of years (with Heyman confirming they'd had talks). So (insane as it may sound right now), how would you have reacted if instead of Carter/Bischoff/Hogan, it had been a trinity of Shane McMahon, Paul Heyman and Jim Ross taking over TNA?

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Brace themselves as it's not going to be pretty.

Which is completely stupid on their part considered he was cheered so well after TLC, which was in Philly, wasn't it? Or was that the week after while he was still very over?

Either way, you'd think they'd learn something occasionally.
