Imagine if we got Punk/Jericho and Bryan/Ziggler for WM.

With proper card position and proper match lengths.

Hey, I can dream!
 
You all know how much I dislike Ryder, but seeing him celebrate his victory with his family made me genuinely happy for him.
 
Y'know what, I'm really disappointed in how they're handling ADR, and all of the "Ricardo might turn on him" hints, along with the reports that they've lost interest in ADR. So instead of changing the guy's shtick up a bit and having Ricardo become more of a comedy act to offset ADR's seriousness (some might say blandness), they're just burying him in promos and his only destiny looks to be the midcard. I still maintain that ADR/Ricardo could be a really great heel + comedy heel boss and goon combo, but Ricardo is underutilized.
 
Speaking of Ricardo, that was a sick bump he took tonight. Probably one of the biggest TLC bumps I have seen in a LONG time. That overhead angle really captured it too. He probably landed on that second table like no one ever should, but it looked awesome.

I'm just glad he was able to turn his body and fall side ways instead of possibly head first into the barracade. That spot could've been a LOT worse.
 
I wonder what the general audience think of Ricardo getting the shit kicked out of him every week.

To the casual fan, they don't know he's a wrestler, they think he's just a ring announcer, so they see a ring announcer taking a massive bump. Do they think any of these personnel can take bumps like that?

They're also the demo that buys the majority of the merch, meaning D-Bry's days as champ are numbered because RKO outta nowhere is coming.

But Vince doesn't give a crap about Smackdown any more (and he's never been that bothered about it). The writers are almost running the show on a week to week basis, Vince only digs his claws in at PPVs and live episodes.

Actually it's clear the writers had their WM ideas in the making since MITB, even if they were on the downside. Vince throwing it all out on a whim (which probably would have passed if he'd just waited a few day to think).

Interesting theory listening to LAW about a D-Bry heel turn... like WWE stripping the title from him and it makes him turn heel.

Or Orton wins the title from him on Tuesday and it makes him turn heel. Surely we've all forgotten how that worked out for Christian.
 
ADR has looked really great in gimmick matches all year long, be it Royal Rumble, Money in the Bank, Hell in a Cell, and now in the TLC match. He's been kind of dull in his feuds, for the most part, but his style lends itself really well to those matches. He comes off as being vicious, crafty, and dangerous in those matches, but comes across as kind of a joke most of the rest of the time. They need to figure out how to make ADR seem like that kind of a threat all the time.

Yeah however it happens a heel turn seems the most likely thing to happen the more I think about it.

I liked ADR's promo on Miz tonight. None of that destiny BS, he actually ripped on Miz legit and talked more clearly and intelligently. We need more of that and less illiterate Mexican guy and I think the writers are finally starting to realize it.

Yeah they really need to do something to liven up his gimmick. Since the beginning of the year ADRs just been talking about his destiny even though hes won like every single thing pertaining to and including the world titles.

If they want to go that direction, I'd have them strip Bryan of the title tomorrow on Raw to avoid the spoilers ruining everything, let him burn the MITB contract on Smackdown, and start the rampage next week. Hell, he should back the all black gear from his ROH baldheaded run.
 
I remember they went out of their way to not have Orton and Bryan wrestle each other in that Fatal Four way a few weeks back.

The LAW guys are right in saying it would be fresh to see them face each other. However, they'd better not do a repeat of Christian, because that was another title reign that came about because of plans suddenly changing (in that case, Edge having to retired suddenly).

Do they have any remote grounds to strip Bryan of the title, though? How he did it was exactly like everyone else did.

Big Show wasn't really conscious. I'd say that's a easy way to get it off of him.

I noticed the same thing. Kudos to them if they were building it the whole time.

They did have that stupid rule about how the champion has to be on his feet for the match to start the past two years. But you know how WWE is with forgetting stuff.
 
See? Meltzer doesn't know a damn thing. He just assumes and predicts, no different than our posts in here. Every question the guys ask Meltzer is answered with a "I haven't heard, I don't know" etc.
 
I would say, based on their positions in the company, Ziggler or Sheamus would be the best choices to win, either to go on to face Bryan at WM (assuming Jericho is coming back to face Punk).
