    cena's moveset is so much better now

    i love all the weird dumb bullshit he's added since the feud with punk
    Oh I agree

    I am strictly speaking from a character perspective

    Like tonight I saw a few glimpses of something different, with the rage and the disdain for Styles at times, but aside from a handful of moments he was same old John Cena

    You're wife is so similar to mine in her eactions to wrestling

    I wonder what it'll be like when there's a Styles match that isn't the best match of the PPV

    With Le Tabarnak de Team serving a suspension that will keep them from competing at BATTLEWAR 42, this creates an opportunity for any of BATTLEWAR's talented teams to challenge Francis and Francis for the BATTLEWAR Tag Team Championship.
    The duo that will seize this opportunity is "Cowboy" Giant Tiger and "Outlaw" Marc Mercer, The Rambling Man Wrestling Co.!
    After their huge victory over The Sight in the ten man tag team match at BATTLEWAR 41, this catapults Giant Tiger and Mercer into the position as the undisputed number one contenders.

    It's big GT's year, get on your feet!

    I just got a note saying Orton earned the right to "main event Mania 33" so I guess he can chose to face Owens?

    But I still believe Bray wins at EC and we get him vs Orton.

    The only thing that would get me pumped about Randy winning is if we, indeed, get Bray Wyatt in a Wrestlemania main event

    I really liked the Rumble. I was disappointed
    In Roman being #30 (as I knew he would be shit on for it and wanted Joe) but it was obviously done to fuck with the crowd. Only part is I would
    Rather have Bray or Sami have won, but it was a good Rumble that handled having all the big names in it really well

    Yes, Bray has fucking earned that after the amazing stuff he's done with his character and the booking trying it's damndest to sabotage it at times.

    Also I need Sami Zayn and Tye Dillinger as the heroic counterparts to Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho yesterday

    Yeah, he can choose to wrestle "a" world champion, which is either WWE or Universal

    I love the brand split but I hate two of every belt

    Feels like it diminishes the meaning

    The tease of a sami/tye tag is the thing that intrigues me the most besides Baron Corbin: Ultra Face

    So yeah, I don't think there was anyone in that match who was not an active roster member, either full or part time? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

  • wirehead26wirehead26 Registered User regular
    Wait were they teasing face Baron Corbin

    He eliminated Strowman, he's the hero we all needed

  • wirehead26wirehead26 Registered User regular
    And they really teased Roman facing Taker at Mania huh.

    Sure why not, especially if Taker finally officially hangs up the tights right after and gets his much needed hip replacement surgery.

    So Shibata vs Ospreay in New Japan is officially for the Rev Pro British heavyweight title. I think it's only fair that since Japan gets that, England should get Shibata vs MiSu--and it should also be held on Rev Pro's first ever event in the North West, preferably in Manchester.

    Also to everyone spamming WWE saying there was a lack of both Samoans and Joes:

    So does Joe stay in NXT? Maybe they couldn't agree on how he should be used if brought up now?

    If so I'm glad they held off till HHH makes sure all WWE writers get the message we get bad ass Samoa Joe on Raw or SDL.

    Or more than Iikely they hold off on Joe an Nak till after Mania so they don't get lost in the Mania hype.

    If Joe was staying in NXT, I think they would have found a role for him at Takeover.

    I did mark way the fuck out when Tye showed up at #10 I will be honest

  • LockedOnTargetLockedOnTarget Registered User regular
    Honestly I don't think they should have had Joe debut in the Rumble unless he was also going to win it.

    Gotta say, that was a genius way to get the crowd to accept Orton winning the Rumble.

    Which means that somebody back there is very very aware of the crowd's reaction to Roman.

    Which begs the question: why's Roman still a face? Let the man heel. He'd be good at it.

    Addendum: pacing-wise, that was probably one of the better Rumbles I've ever watched. There weren't many dead spots like most ones.

    If they're putting Roman against Taker, there's no way they can possibly expect him to get cheered.

    Right?

    Eh, he can still do a regular debut this tuesday and find his way into the EC match where he destroys Cena (but gets taken out by Bray)

    Ideally Joe would be open brand. Every time he smells weakness in a title he runs in an murders the current title holder. No one will tag with him? He chokes out Elsworth and drags his limp corpse to the ring to "tag" with. If they brought Joe in and gave him that TNA push of the unstoppable submission machine he would easily become the new threat in the WWE.

    I fully expect Joe to kill someone on RAW or SD in the next two weeks.

    Pretty sure it will be Cena, but I'll be damned if I won't also watch him and Kevin smash into each other.

    Nah, they'd be selling the spectacle only, not who gets cheered or booed.

    Since I got in late, I just loaded up the Network to watch the rest of the PPV from the beginning.

    Really, really glad I cancelled a while back and just started another free trial for this month.

    My favorite Joe moments was always when someone would lay him out with a chair and start mean mugging towards the hard camera. As they pose and gloat you see Joe rise above their shoulder, busted open, and looking pissed as hell. The next 4 minutes were a blur but I'm pretty sure someone was forced to eat their own ass hole.

    No. I literally cannot watch the Rumble on the Network right now. It's blocked and unwatchable for at least the next 24 hours.

    If this is how it is for all of their shows from now on, that's a huge blow. It's never worked like this before.
