Goes to show what a joke WWE is right now, they never even addressed the turnbuckle breaking on Balor, imo AEW is leaps and bounds ahead of WWE right now.

Good afternoon all.
Anyone watching WWE anymore?
I have watched it off and on (more off than on if I am honest) .
While it is horrible not to have any crowds, when I have ducked in, Roman Reigns seems to be creating a heel character for the ages. It is the best work he has ever done.
A live crowd would lap this up.
Everything else is just average, though it was nice to see Cesaro finally getting the recognition he deserves.
One more thing. Does anyone else think Mysterio's chest tattoo is looking more like a sports bra these days?

So my thinking, Daniel Bryan gets added to Edge Roman, Edge pins Daniel Bryan for the win. Edge gets his wrestlemania moment, Roman doesn’t take the pin so looks strong and Daniel Bryan gets in main event.
Roman then wins title back from Edge.

Just bringing the conversation from Wolves page with ED77 over here lol.

{Ed077's Note - good on us I guess for not filling up the Wolves page?

Do you just watch the WWE product or other promotions too?}

Used to be a WCW guy when that got bought out by WWE I moved to WWE as the likes of DDP, Booker T moved there too, I watch bits of JPW and AEW atm.

Hello Ed
It's awfully quiet here. Any rumble predictions?

{Ed007's Note - I couldn't even guess mate lol I stopped watching wrestling for a couple of years and started again when WWE moved to BT Sports but it was awful when Covid kicked in and there were no fans.}

Hello people,
I can fully understand why this site has been so quiet.
Wrestling had reached for me an all time low before C.V., and like Ed I was rapidly losing interest as WWE was so bad.
It is such a shame that it is impossible to have crowds in now.
Roman Reigns has finally developed into the character he should always have been, I think the best now in the whole of wrestling.
McIntyre in solidly holding up RAW and the women's division has never been better.
There are still the many moments when you look at WWE and think 'Why? ' but I can't deny that great imagination and efforts have been made to try to keep the industry afloat, just not WWE but other brands as well.
Rumour has it there will be crowds for the 2 days of Mania. I for one can't wait.
Take care one and all.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Mar 2020 12:27:38
Hope everyone is safe and taking care of themselves.
I am really split in deciding whether they are doing the right thing in continuing the shows at the performance centre with no crowds and that they still intend to go ahead with Mania.

On the one hand, it is good to see some wrestling no matter how weird the context, but on the other, wrestling by it's nature has more contact than almost any other sport.

Yes, live sport of any kind is a welcome diversion and the split of Mania over 2 days is intriguing, but surely WWE must put the health of their employees first.
I just can't see Mania taking place on the advertised date if at all.
Maybe in August when Summerslam is due the Mania card could take place.

At long last. The Bulldog finally gets into the Hall of Fame.
Not before time.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2020 21:51:18
Now that Samoan Joe has been suspended for 30 days, the Owens and Orton confrontation makes more sense.
3 way match between Orton, Owens and Rollins at Mania?
Another likely match is Black and Styles which will have it's first outing on Raw next Monday.
I think the Fiend an Bryant isn't over yet and for some reason, I think we may have a Cena and Goldberg match.
Not too sure who Reigns will be facing. Hope it isn't Corbin, but wouldn't be surprised.
Mind you, that is if Fury decides to give Corbin his throne back!

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Feb 2020 14:29:55
AJ is going to be facing taker mate and it's going to be reigns v the fiend, all at mainia, wwe has no match planned for Cena yet.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Mar 2020 15:14:30
Still not 100% certain Styles won't face Black at Mania, unless Taker stops Styles getting the win at Elimination Chamber.
We now know the Fiend will face Cena with Reigns facing Goldberg.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Feb 2020 17:16:30
doesn't anyone think that it should be taker v the fiend at mainia rather than reigns it makes sense and it would make the fiend even more over beating and retiring taker, with the fiend taking his place a the wwe supernatural entity.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Feb 2020 20:03:19
I'd wait and use that match to officially retire taker.

A few locked in matches that I can see happening at Wrestlemania as we’re gradually getting a bit closer.

Brock Lesnar vs Drew McIntyre wwe title
The Fiend Bray Wyatt vs Roman Reigns Universal title
Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair NXT women’s title - confirmed.
Becky Lynch vs Shayna Baszler Raw womens title
I can see them having a fatal four way for the United states title, Andrade vs Humberto Carrillo vs Angel Garza vs Rey Mysterio and maybe even Ricochet too to make it a five way. Then same could even be said for the Intercontinental title which would be Braun Strowman vs Shinsuke Nakamura vs Cesaro vs Sami Zayn then maybe Daniel Bryan too if he’s not booked for anything else.
Randy Orton vs Edge
John Cena vs Elias
Undertaker vs AJ Styles
Then of course the men’s and women’s battle royals
Then Smackdown women’s title, raw tag titles, smackdown tag titles, women’s tag titles whatever they decide to do with them.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Feb 2020 17:18:27
King Corbin v kings of kings HHH has got happen at mainia.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Feb 2020 11:41:41
PS and don't get me started on Goldberg and The Fiend.

Agree0 Disagree0

The pendulum has swung back and now RAW is by far a superior product to Smackdown.
The trouble with Smackdown is that the show doesn't know what it is or what it wants.
It starts the same each week with an overlong mic section which ill result in a usually pointless match later.
The stupid Sheamus against anyone short matches, the pantomime villainy of Corbin, the women can't hold a candle to those on RAW and NXT, the return of Reigns as an unbeatable force similar to Cena at his worst, it goes on and on.
The only shining light the Bryan/ Wyatt rivalry.
I dare say that Fox said what they expected for a family show and the writers and following these expectations. It just doesn't work.
Both RAW and especially NXT knock Smackdown out of the park at the moment.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 18:25:25
Days before the Royal rumble and I can already give a guess at what I reckon a few of the matches at Wrestlemania will be, Bayley vs Sasha Banks for the SD women's title, Becky Lynch vs Shayna Baszler for the Raw women's title, Bray Wyatt as the Fiend vs Roman Reigns Universal title, Brock Lesner vs Drew McIntyre WWE title and for some reason I'm thinking Seth Rollins and Buddy Murphy vs AOP for the Raw tag titles.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2020 12:05:20
I suspect they will drag out Bryan and the Fiend until Mania. I also think they will leave the Bayley Banks fall out until Summerslam.
If Rousey makes a come back in the Rumble, she will be in one of the women's matches, probably against Bayley.
Last 2 standing in the Rumble will be McIntyre and Orton and I agree that it is likely to be McIntyre and Lesnar, unless the decide to repeat a match with Valasquez for viewing figures.
Too early to break up the Rollins alliance so I think they will lose to the Vikings at Mania.
I know it is extremely unlikely, but how about a surprise entry in the Rumble - C. M. Punk?

Agree0 Disagree0

At one stage Finn Balor was seen as the future of the WWE and his persona of the Demon was only seen on special occasions. A combination of unfortunate injuries, bad booking and a lack of size put pay to Balor.
The idea hasn't gone. Enter Bray Wyatt and the Fiend. With Wyatt facing The Miz as himself at TLC, I suspect that the Balor blue print is back in place, but with a larger and more charismatic model.
Expect to see the Fiend less often.

Agree0 Disagree0

The current apathy with WWE can be seen everywhere. The empty seats at venues, the falling viewing figures and even the lack of activity on this site. The question is why this apathy exists.
There has never been such an athletic group of wrestlers than now and with the money from the Network and Fox means that the coffers have never been so full before.
But. There has never been such a bland group of wrestlers either. It has now got to the stage where WWE have to alter the negative crowd reaction to the 'Face of the Company' Seth Rollins.
It is so easy to see the Attitude Era through rose tinted glasses, but the crowd reaction to the entrances of those wrestlers from the shattered glass of Austin to those of the Rock, Taker, Michaels, HHH and Edge would have the crowd on their feet immediately. There is nothing comparable in immediate excitement today, nor in the charisma each of these had.
It is no wonder that AEW are so invested in Jericho as he is still everything that the WWE now lacks.
Where is the couldn't care less attitude of Austin, the cockiness of the Rock, the aura of the Undertaker? It is something when the most charismatic character now is not a wrestler but is Paul Heyman.
A lot of the problem now is that the writing is wrestling by numbers and there is nothing new and original.
Take some risks and let the wresters of the leash and who knows. We may get another Auston 3:16 moment.

I suspect that the WWE might have had a bit of luck with the technical failure that stranded half their wrestlers in Saudi last week.
Because? At long last NXT had a stage to shine, and shine they did.
Not only have they now got something different for Survivor Series, but WWE were able to deliver a kick in the teeth to NXT's main rival AEW.
HHH managed to sell NXT as a genuine rival to both RAW and Smackdown and surely the writing team can't mess up this glorious opportunity to shake things up.
You would hope so.

There is justifiable uproar about the terrible end of the Rollins/ Fiend match. But who is really surprised?
The WWE has never really known what to do with Wyatt and Rollins keeps getting backed despite his popularity falling. It was clear last year that Rollins is not capable of being the face of the company.
With the echoes of the boos and AEW chants still ringing in his ears, even Vince must know he messed up.
They have got to stick the title on the Fiend before the next PPV, hope people forget that awful match and ride Wyatt's popularity.
They learnt this the hard way with Bryant and Lynch.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Oct 2019 16:45:23
That was more than harsh on Kofi.
He has defended his title well and with class but was chucked away in less than 5 seconds.
I know Fox want a big name champion, but he deserved far better than that.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Sep 2019 11:47:44
Having a little think about what will happen with Smackdown going to be broadcast on Fox.
The big announcement is that Lesnar will be facing Kingston on Fox's debut. There is no way that Lesnar will lose this - Fox will want the biggest name as a draw and unfortunately that ain't Kofi.
Then what? Fox will want a credible challengers so welcome to Smackdown Strowman and Reigns will stay.
I think Lynch will move as well.
I can also see Ricochet move to have aa quality smaller man feud with Styles.
With Fox, will Smackdown become the flagship show?

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Oct 2019 13:42:02
From what I've read you have hit the nail. On the head. The only problem is fox are due to loose millions of usa customer due to a disagreement with provider.
Also fox using subliminal messages to promote the new show.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Sep 2019 16:10:00
Not too sure what to make of Night of Champions.
On the plus side, Lynch/ Banks and Kingston/ Orton were good matches and Wyatt's contribution was short but very sweet.
The rest? Average at best. Rowan proved he can't hold his end up in a big solo outing. Strowman was given yet another shot without success, Styles just seemed to be there for the sake of it, Miz/ Nakamura is obviously mid-feud and Bayle/ Flair weren't given the same chance to shine as the other women's title match.
While they weren't great matches, I am pleased we have the tag team champs we do.
Overall, give the whole thing C-.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Sep 2019 21:59:55
Well that went well haha, Becky and Charlotte vs Bayley and Sasha just been announced for Monday’s Raw so I guess that’s not going to happen at hell in a cell, though I suppose my outlook has the titles stipulation on that match, ahh well you never know.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Sep 2019 12:41:46
It was a good call and just because it is announced for RAW, it doesn't mean it won't happen at HIAC.
I'm sure it will be inconclusive on RAW and repeated at least one more time.
What is interesting is to see who will be the heels. Bayley is undergoing a heel turn and with Sasha and Charlotte, it is looking a bit unbalanced.
I anticipate a singles match with Lynch against either Bayley or Banks. It will end with aa double team on Becky and Charlotte comes down to make the save leading to a grudging respect and the beginning of a face turn.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Sep 2019 16:46:13
A little bit of the Bubbly.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Sep 2019 22:17:19
I’m thinking this Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, Bayley and Charlotte Flair malarkey will end up being Becky and Charlotte vs Sasha and Bayley at hell in a cell with the winners holding the women’s titles which I reckon before the match would be Becky (raw) and Charlotte (smackdown) as champions. And during that match or after the match, Ronda Rousey, Shayna Baszler, Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke arrive and attack all four of them in which we end up getting Becky, Charlotte, Sasha and Bayley vs Ronda, Shayna, Marina and Jessamyn at maybe Survivor Series or Wrestlemania 36.

Evening gents. Been a while since I have posted on here. Good to see some old faces still active.

I have been watching a lot of mid - late 90's wrestling ppvs over the past few months and it got me thinking. HBK is widely referred to as 'Mr wrestlemania'. So who are other with regards to the 3 other main ppvs?

For me, without question, my all time faviorate Bret Hart is 'Mr Summerslam'. The quality of matches he has had at the ppv is tremendous, in particular his IC title match against Mr Perfect at SS 91 (one of my top 3 matches of all time) and again the following year against Bulldog to headline the event at Wembley. His match with Owen at SS 94 complete a trio of terrific matches.

The only other real clear one I could think of was The Rock as 'Mr Survivor Series'. Debuting at the ppv and standing as the sole survivor, winning deadly games, winning the WWE v WCW match during the invasion then making a return to the ring after 7 years out at survivor series 2011.

I'm sure there will be loads of opinions and arguments for and against. All just a bit of fun.

Agree1 Disagree0

07 Sep 2019 12:32:41
Nice to see you again.
Interesting one this. I never really understood why HBK was Mr Wrestlemania when the Undertaker's record blew everyone else out of the water.
I fully agree with you about Bret for Summerslam and then it gets a bit tricky.
I always associate the Rumble with Stone Cold and besides that, I really can't think anyone.
Mind you, I will always link Titus O'Neil with the Greatest Royal Rumble - the best entry to a ring, or under a ring, of all time.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Sep 2019 17:27:19
I was the same with HBK and Mania mate but if memory serves me right, HBK got the tag or Mr Wrestlemania before the steak was really highlighted.

I suppose SCSA has to be Mr Royal Rumble as he has the record but there has been some cracking moments at the ppv, like the Titus trip as you mentioned 😂.

Does any one know what's happened to Lars Sullivan? he was meant to be the next big thing. I know he's had some personal issues and also been in trouble but haven't seen him in wwe in ages.

Agree0 Disagree0

He has done his knee in and is thought to be out for at least 6 months.
