CM Punk came back way too early. One month would have been good. Two months would have been better. Three months would have been the best. Four months could have been a little too long, but one week?? Come on!!
Couldn't agree more. I appreciate when they did it with Cena. I know that the Nexus was fresh but it wasn't quite the turbulent time that this is turning out to be and going without Cena
then would have been risky to say the least. Here they were on to something special, they could have baked this story for far far longer, had Punk turn up to shows/events anywhere and everywhere and build up his notoriety to boiling point. When he returning it would have dwarfed the current situation.
They pulled the trigger too soon.
I would like to see the return of the Nexus at SummerSlam. First, Id like to see Daniel Bryan cash in on Christian or Randy Orton. Second, I want to see ALL the members come back, including Wade Barrett, and help Punk defeat Cena with the Finger Poke of Doom, thus turning Cena Heel and finally state that this is the Higher Purpose. It was Triple Hs plan all along and that he was, in fact, the Mystery Raw GM this whole time. Okay, thats reaching, but that would make compelling TV. This also gives others like Mysterio, Morrison, and maybe an R-Truth turn, revealing he was right about the conspiracy, a chance as the Top 3 Faces on Raw.
Nexus was a good idea, domination by numbers but they never seemed to have a real end goal and that's why it was ultimately doomed to fail. It never had the quality, though, to pull the whole thing off the way management would have wanted. Some factions get better over time, Nexus started on their own high level and just fizzled out slowly. The end product was the equivalent of NWO 2003, very poor.
My concern with this idea is what it does fro all the performers. Factions are a great way to get guys over but if they spend too much of their career in them they start to look like only the part of a glorious whole, not great in their own right. Guys like Bryan, Barrett, these guys need to be on their own right now. They need to resolve the mystery GM, but I wouldn't go about it this way.
How come we didnt get the highly anticipated Nexus vs. Corre storyline??
Could have been more than it was... but not much more. I'd say they were a 2 PPV, if that, sort of a feud. There wasn't enough reason to have them face each other, only Barrett had real ammo in the feud after Punk took over his group. I prefer the way they had their own purpose on their respective brands if I'm honest.
I think I like where this whole Beth Phoenix angle is going. I think she might even win the Divas Title, throw it in a trash can and bring back the Womens Title. Wishful thinking.
Yeah, that's not a bad idea at all. My only question is... if she really builds up a head of steam who is the foil? Perhaps she has an epic polymonth title reign until Kharma returns. That would add the flavor back to the division, get some people caring at least. I said all along Beth is the only person (perhaps save Natalya) who looks a legit threat to Kharma. The above scenario would work (yours that is!).
Are we going to see a 50-Man Royal Rumble in 2012?? 60-Man in 2013??
I don't think 40 man compromises the match. It was a 30 man event for over 20 years, it's not a WCW style over gimmicky match, it's fine as it is. I'd cap it off, should the opportunity ever arise, at a 50 man thing. Plus you have to consider the amount of competitors you need to fill our this sort of event, it's unlikely the WWE will be able to account for an extra 10 men next year short of multiple guest appearances. I don't think it'll change at least for a long time, at most ever.
What exactly do we have to do to get the Survivor Series back to the way it originally was?? Seriously, what!? I figure, 2 Raw 5-on-5 Survivor Series Style Tag Team Elimination matches and 2 Smackdown 5-on-5 Survivor Series Style Tag Team Elimination matches, with the Survivors from each match competing in a 5th Survivor Series Style Tag Team Elimination match for Bragging Rights / Brand Supremacy. The winning Brand gets the Tag Titles exclusively on their Show for a year
or something like that.
I'm not sure exactly when Bragging right became more Survivor Series than SS itself, I am confident it wasn't a good move. Don't get me wrong, I love non-gimmick PPV's like Capitol Punishment, Wrestlemania etc.. but you have to recognize the good gimmick orientated ones. I'd gladly drop the HIAC PPV to restore the Survivor Series one, regaining the novelty of a HIAC match in the process.
If Daniel Bryan officially stated that he wont cash in his Blue Case till WM XXVIII, why does he keep bringing it with him to events?? Leave it at home, before you get Kennedy-ed
Kennedy-ed!!
Stupid fucking Bryan. If someone steals that, does it become their's? A point I don't think has been raised. I know there is a contract but we don't know if that contract is superstar specific or just briefcase related.
In the Bound For Glory Series, there better not be a BFG Series finale match worth 50 points, or else that would make the rest of the Series pointless.
I don't understand how this final BFG series match works. If Crimson is more than 10 points away from the rest of the field by that point, what's the point in the final match unless it holds more points than a regular match which would ultimately devalue the entire tournament. I have to assume (hope) that TNA covers this and has it possible for Crimson to be beaten by normal means in that final match, otherwise it's another Russo-sized cock-up.
So, is someone going to take Matt Morgans spot / points in the BFGS??
Doesn't seem that way. Anderson or Abyss or someone else should have taken his place/had a spot from the get-go to insure against this.
Did Jeff Jarrett really refer to the AAA World Title as the Immortal World Title??
Aye. No problems with it myself, good heel idea. Mexicans will surely dislike him a lot by now.
If TNA really wants a comedy routine, they should strap Eric Young with the Legends Title and the Global Title in addition to his Television Title and TNA World Title V.1. Imagine what he would look like challenging Legendary Globally known Television Stars like
well
David Hasselhoff with 4 Belts attached to him.
I find Eric Young hilarious. I don't know what else to add. I think as well as being funny this might actually get the guy some mainstream attention. I'm just happy he's found his niche, Eric Young being serious never really worked.
With both Big Show and Kane out for a few months, I would love nothing more than for them to return with Paul Bearer and the Undertaker as a Stable called Destruction. Maybe even add the Great Khali for $#!+s and giggles.
I'd just feel, although the idea is intriguing, that each constituent part is greater than the sum. Don't get me wrong, none of these guys have an issue putting people over but for whoever overcame them (I'm assuming this faction would be heel) it would hurt at least Taker. I can't envision who could overcome ALL of these members, I just can't.
Lets face it, the only way John Cena will have a Heel turn is if Kurt Angle puts him in the Ankle Lock. That doesnt mean we should stop making up fantasy storylines for it.
I am in the 'Cena should turn heel' camp, now more than ever. Cena is at that point Hogan reached in 1994-ish, people are really starting to tire of him, and when I say people I mean kids as well. I mean let's face it, going by the reactions of the audience wherever he goes now, it's difficult to still maintain you're a face when the majority of people are booing you. This whole booing Cena thing is only going to grow and grow until they don't have the option. Turn Cena heel will really re-invigorate the character and put Punk/ Cena on
that level. It's getting to the point where this NEEDS, and I don't say this thoughtlessly, to happen.
Who is the Greatest Face of all time who never turned Heel??
I think we'll have to go with Rey Mysterio because I can't remember any instances of him turning and because of how big a star he is. Honestly, I can't think of many people who haven't ever been both sides of the coin. He's gotta be the biggest guy who (technically speaking) who hasn't ever noticeably turned heel. I don't know how he'd do it but like Jeff Hardy, Hulk Hogan etc.. based on shock factor alone it would be good.
Dusty Rhodes? I'm sure KB or another old school scholar could correct me on that but the only heel thing I remember was his recent Cody/Mysterio segment.
Who is the Greatest Heel of all time who never turned Face??
Equally as difficult as the first question. Ted Dibiase Senior? Did he ever have a considerable face run? These would be my two reasonably well thought out answers I guess.
), could we theoretically see a Briefcase vs Briefcase Match, much like a Title vs Title Match?
