I'd rather just have Rousey be the female Brock Lesnar.

The cleanest way to do it would have been Michaels helping HHH and Flair helping Sting, they even set it up with Hunter punking Ric a few weeks before, but it was clear they were going for a huge nostalgia pop by bringing out NWO and DX. You sort of have to suspend your disbelief for those kinds of matches. To keep with the comic comparison, it's more like an Elseworld's or What If? story than something in line with continuity.

it's 4th of July in my asshole
She could legit do that, still hasn't lost in the Ultimate. Would be a super beast.
They should do it, she'd get paid more in the WWE than UFC but would miss out on a lot of endorsement bucks.
The nWo helping Sting bugged me from a making sense angle but like others have said, it was more for a DX vs nWo / WWF vs WCW thing. And for that, I had fun with it.
It's possible to both have fun with something and still point out it's flaws stro. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

Maybe, and sting is not the type of person to manger.
It's either that or WM Play Stang was NWO Stang all along. Which means we might get STANG versus STANG at 32.

Flair pretending to come out to help Sting then turning on him would have been awesome too. He could have even brought out the classic Horsemen like Arn, Ole and Paul Roma afterwards too.
The whole storyline was fucked anyway when they kept having Hunter push it as WWE vs WCW which was dumb from the start.
nobody needs a reason to thank a wrestler for a career that they enjoyed watching
I've seen people saying it should have been the Horsemen instead of the nWo, but that makes probably even LESS sense than the nWo. Flair shouldn't ever be helping Sting. As for guys to help him, Lex weighs 130 pounds, Dusty is nearly 70, and Book was just almost fired a few weeks prior by HHH. The only guys that would make any sense are Goldberg and DDP. But it was really just so you could do an nWo vs DX thing and that's all it needed to be. Putting any more thought into it takes away all the fun.
Not only was Robocop vs Terminator fucked up multiple times, but so was Aliens vs Predators. Those comics suck just as much as the movies.
Only if a 1988 Lincoln Town Car rolled into the stadium packed with former 4 Horsemen.
Actually... why not the opposite? Have some of the more criticized Divas (like, the Bella Twins) show up on NXT, talk about how they are sick and tried about hearing how much better the Women's division is in NXT than in the main shows and want to prove to the smarks/NXT crowd that they too deserve respect. Let the Divas prove they are just as good as the NXT women. Have it be done in a set of tapings before an NXT event, heck even have it main event one. Then you can easily care it over to the main show.
Dumb idea that should totally happen: Finn Balor should re-do Randy's Legend Killer gimmick but focus only on taking out those with facepaint. Have him inherit the face motif of every person he beats...who wouldn't want to see Doink the Balor? Stang can even be his Mania opponent if he wants another paycheck!

What if Flair motions to the back for the other horsemen to come to the ring and the only guy that runs out is Mongo?
Followed by a white hummer.

Execpt the audience for NXT is way smaller than the one that watches raw
Wwe wouldn't pay her more and there is more to being a Brock lesnar type than being a ufc guy.
I get all that stro and I enjoyed Bullet Club and DX going at it. I was more thinking about how few Sting allies there are left. Only one Brother in Paint. Dusty and him rarely interacted, Stang legitimately has more beef with the 4 Horseman than he does with NWO Hollywood. NWO Wolfpac makes sense on the surface but Luger isn't presentable, Konan doesn't work with them and the regular NWO was more popular. NWO still makes more sense then the best WCW allstars you could produce otherwise which would have been DDP/Booker T/Flair.
I'm very excited! Awesome teams. Killer title match. Setting up to be another kick ass show.

Might as well complain that nick Patrick wasn't the ref
The one leading up to Halloween Havoc 1995 still gets me everytime. Stang even acknowledges in the lead up that Flair has turned on him repeatedly in the past. But no, this time he's standing up to that dastardly Pillman and Double A. The way Stang calls out for NATCHA BOOOYYYY! while he is getting double teamed. Priceless.

Flair has his boys beat his ass in front of Sting too! Completely committed to the long con !
I invited you guys to my barbecue. I let you swim in my pool. Fuck you guys, for the twentieth time.

that's a gaijin heavy card so far but Goto/Nak and Omega/Shelley should be all well and good

Ishii/makabe set for their April years dash show April 29th
I hope Shelley can bring that bastard Kenny Omega to defeat.
Is one of these teams a heel team? Is Alberto the same in all promotions or is he heel in one, face in another?
What about ACH?

Alberto has been a total babyface everywhere he's worked since leaving the E. Makes sense as he's been super-over most places.

Finished Invasion Attack and it was a very enjoyable B+ show. Here are some random thoughts:
-- Jr tag was surprisingly good and Barreta actually showed some stuff here. He's far away from being able to hang with the most of the New Japan juniors but at least I could see why he was brought in. The Bucks working a little slower and with more comedy was also nice.
-- Omega / Dorada was good but not the blow-away MOTYC candidate I was hoping for. They really didn't tell a story or build the match in a compelling way. Can't see Shelley getting the title so I figure the plan is for Omega to kill Shelley and maybe put him out of action for a while. This leads to Kushida finally getting a singles push and the title. Maybe at Dominion in July?
-- Tag match was just weak. Gallows was pretty hyped when he joined New Japan but he's been seriously under-whelming.
-- Both the six man and next tag really worked for me. Ishii was moving well again and his stuff with Makabe got super-heat. Saku - Shibata also looks good.
-- Fale damn near put me to sleep. He's got even slower since last year. The parts with Okada on offense were okay but I'm ready for Cody Hall to become the Bullet Club monster in 2016.
-- AJ / Ibushi was a low-end MOTYC candidate. Would have been one of the best all year except for Ibushi's craptacular leg selling. The after-match stuff was awesome with Omega maybe unhappy that he sold out Kota and then Okada wreaking havoc everywhere.

Makes sense that they want to load up the Jo Hall Show after Yokohama bombed last year.
