I really have no desire to watch Shane kill himself, thanks.

Given Shane's history and it being HIAC, I thought there was as good of a chance as ever they do a stunt. Hope not, though.
GMT or CEST though

Seriously. Anything beyond the Mankind HIAC is basically CZW territory as far as I can tell and I'm pretty sure WWE ain't going there. Even with the Ambrose/Brock match.

lol if you think they give Ambrose a prop chainsaw on-screen and he doesn't use it for the match
I really want Shane to stay safe and not do something crazy that could potentially cause long lasting damage to his body.
But there's also a teeny tiny part of me that wants to see Shane o Mac flying 25 feet in the air onto a table onto concrete. I'm ashamed of that part of me.

The stunt was for Sting to show up and help Taker win.

That chainsaw has been getting a good bit of screen time...
Dean's going to bring out the weedwhacker, and Shane is going through the (gimmicked) entrance ramp, in homages to Wifebeater and Taz/Bam Bam respectively.

I can't believe you still can't resize the video player on The Network its been what 3 years since this thing launched

Exactly, it's Chekhov's chainsaw. They introduced it and now it MUST be used. I'm confident Ambrose can get some CZW prop guys a nice Mania payday with this.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I find it highly unlikely they're doing a brand split, even if they do make Shane win and be in charge of only Raw specifically. I would imagine that would just make the shows feel different, but I don't see it with the "this guy only appears on SmackDown/Raw" thing again.
They don't have the roster for it.

Or, BJW's roster is more readily available to work for other independent promotions, what with them not touring as far afield as Dragon Gate or NJPW.
They do actually. They'd have to gut NXT to do it though.

He'll die. They'll both die.

Current wrestling needs more Soda and Trash throwing

The millennial audience doesn't consume sugary drinks and they certainly aren't going to litter.
I think if the WWE is letting him do media and saying this, it's in the works. It's too bad they already missed doing a Mania match in the Georgiadome, though.

When a wrestler starts begging for something in the media its a pretty good sign WWE has no interest in actually doing said thing.
Which is a shame because I bet Sting and Taker could have a fun feud. Match itself would be a wreck but the build would be fun if done right

Thank you. Been waiting for some trash throwing myself

I think it could be a good 10/15 minute match if done right, like Hogan/Rock where the match sucks but it's so hype you don't care.

I was gonna say, didn't we just go through this months ago with Bryan publicly begging to come back the second it became clear Nakamura was coming?
It'll be Age in the Cage 3 dude, we have Shane and Taker coming up.
"OH MY GOD THAT MUSIC, IT'S THE VIGILANTE STING!!
It doesn't mean anything Maggle ah ha ha that hellish structure is closed off on all sides there is nothing Sting can do!
THE LIGHTS THE LIGHTS

The last time there was a significant trash throw, it was where a cup filled with soda hit Heyman in the face, and he still resumed his promo.
Incredible. Didn't sell shit!
It has the potential to be the wrestling version of Kimbo Slice vs Dada5000.

Another reason why ICP's promotion is great - pissed off Juggalos throwing beer and whatever else comes to hand. I'll never forget when Tracy Smothers was damn near trying to incite (another) riot, some dude in the front row took off his jeans, belt and all, and just hurled that at Smothers. Of course, Tracy put them on and danced about, refusing the give the jeans back as the crowd laughed at the now half-nekkid dude. Smothers even wrestled the whole match wearing them. What a treasure he is.
Someone already did:
I'm glad the days of throwing shit in the ring are behind us. It was awful.

WWF never really had a lot of people tossing stuff into the ring but WCW was full of it.
Was WWF just better at policing that stuff?

Is that what Max Landis would really say? He probably wants that high drama and reaction from the crowd to garner soft drinks and popcorn being thrown in the ring.
