So, the person pinned in the Fastlane main event gets a shot at the title before the winner, when the entire point was to win a title shot. Talk about a worthless ppv/event.
No, the entire point was to win a shot at the title at WRESTLEMANIA. A prize, itself.
Side note, what's HHHs entrance this year? Probably not Terminator. Hopefully not another giant throne, golden skull, not-conan HHH. Hmm...Iron Throne HHH?
An Iron Throne of Sledgehammers would actually be really fucking cool.
Steph should gift him a throne made out of a giant-sized version of that Legacy award.

Hayabusa wasn't the first Japanese wrestler I was aware of but he was the first whose career I followed. This was a man who gave up his job and inheritance to go train to be a wrestler. The stories of his training are insane. Apparently he would work part time selling beds for FMW's biggest sponsor to earn money, work out for five hours a day when he got back and end his day by scrubbing the dojo, sometimes inch by inch with toothbrushes, until 2 AM. The Hayabusa gimmick didn't come about until his excursion to Mexico to work with AAA where the influence from lucha and his hero Mil Mascaras really shows. He was a legendary groundbreaking high flyer who influenced everybody from Sabu to Seth Rollins. Even in retirement he was inspiring, never giving up on his goals even when they were all but impossible. Last year he walked for the first time since his accident to get in the ring and officially bring a proper conclusion to the match that paralyzed him because it's what he promised the fans.
I think the entrance will be the most Lemmy thing possible.
So he comes out on a floating 4004lk Rickenbacker, seated on a throne designed to look like Lemmy's wart while an army of strippers snort coke off of each others bodies and rivers of Jack Daniels pour down the entrance ramp and surround the ring like a moat.
Ric Flair confirmed he's inducting Sting in the HoF.
And then he's going to attack Sting from behind while he's giving his acceptance speech and then Flair is going to take Stings HoF ring and be a THREE TIME WWE HoF inductee.
I think we found out what Nagata is doing instead of kicking New Japan Cup entrants into ground meat.
Speaking of the New Japan cup semi finals:
Naito vs Yano and Goto vs Elgin both seem pretty straightforward to me personally.
My money is on Naito vs Goto in the finals and then it gets a bit more dicey but I wouldn't be shocked with a Goto win, they seem unwilling to drop him and Naito doesn't need any kind of rub from this trophy so it would make sense.
Obviously there's always a chance Elgin upsets Goto, but I wouldn't bet on it even if I would much prefer an Elgin vs Naito final.
I could see them giving Elgin the win over Goto, he literally just signed a 2 year deal at the start of the tournament
Naito is winning the whole thing tho
Elgin putting up a good fight with Goto is the best I expect there to be honest. Getting to the semis says a decent amount about where they see him on the card, if he beats Goto that will be a pretty huge statement of intent and while I would like it I'd be super surprised by it.
If you put me on the spot and made me pick a winner then I'd go with Naito. however I have this nagging suspicion that they want to do more with Goto still beyond constantly teasing if he's going to shake Okada's hand or not. The flip side of that is I could see him losing to Naito via chicanery being a good tipping point for him switching to a heel run so fuck if I know.
Kudos to New Japan, this is the most I've thought about Goto in years though so I guess that's something.
In an interview with Guide Live, Big E said that the New Day are set to get a special entrance at Wrestlemania 32 this year. Here are highlights:
On which match he’s looking forward to the most: “Shane and ‘Taker, for sure. I think that’s such an interesting matchup with so much on the line that a lot of people will have their eyes turned to that one. And also, I’m really excited to see what the women will do. I’m not sure what that match will be. If I had to guess, I’m assuming, possibly it looks like maybe we’re looking at a triple threat for the Divas title – Charlotte, Becky, and Sasha appears to be lining up. There’s a decent amount of pressure on those women with the whole ‘Diva’s Revolution.’ I think a lot of people are excited to see what they do to represent for all the talented women in wrestling.”
On The New Day’s big entrance: “We’ve already kind of started getting people excited about our entrance – which I’ve kind of wanted to temper expectations, but we had some media hits this morning, and Woods and Kofi were already telling people to look out for our entrance. So, I suppose our WrestleMania entrance is the big plan. There’s a good chance that it all gets nixed, and people are very disappointed, but we have something cooking.”
They should come out riding mecha-unicorns, a la Katy Perry's mecha-lion from last year's super bowl halftime show, while Ninja Sex Party sings The Last Unicorn.

that tank was so good
I wish Rusev had a title. I guess I shouldn't lament him being part of a main event heel faction, but I wish he was the real ME of the group over sheamus. he's arguably below del rio since del rio had the US title sooner.
that whole dumb lana thing. goddamn it. take something superb that's very over and rip it apart for... an awful angle that no one wants to remember. phenomenal.

So I've decided my next D&D character will be a lucha-flavored monk. I'm having a hard time deciding on a name, though. Any ideas for a good luchador name?

Use the same advanced technology that WCW used for Seven's debut.
Y'know, minus the post entrance shoot promo.

Wasn't even a WM entrance.
It was just a random dance segment.
