Wrestling Observer is reporting this scenario that leads up to Wrestlemania.
I like this scenario alot more than the current one being set up.

Here the problem with scenario is that it makes Punk look weak. This is his title reign to be remembered and for them to end it to Cena of all people doesn't help. Kill the point that Punk made about the fact that he is not the main event and he is the champion, him beating Cena would stamp the notion that he is the main event.

Over the past couple of month Cena has done very little to justify why he should have been in the main event for the last three ppv, in general the wwe has done little. He gets a lady/ child friendly pop when he comes out? His merch sells? This factors don't make for a good product.

I don't see how Cena can carry the title for six months, he is just not interesting enough. Unless Cena drops it to Barrett like right away, but I think the wwe sees money in a Sheamus vs Barrett match to rep smackdown.
Edit:
I can seem to find a match between Rock and Michaels... not even a tag-team match!
 
Fantasy matches? Here's a few random ones I'd go for;

Jake 'The Snake' Roberts vs Dean Ambrose - the original viper, the first wrestling anti-hero vs the unhinged and unpredictable future star* of the WWE.

Stan 'The Lariat' Hansen vs Takeshi Morishima - I guess this would be like the modern day equivalent of Stan vs Vader. Two massive powerhouses who would undoubtedly beat the tar out of each other in search of victory.

Daniel Bryan vs Tatsumi Fujinami - the best technical wrestler today vs one of the greatest technical wrestling legends in Japan.

Johnny Saint vs Zack Sabre Jr. - master of the classic British catch-as-catch-can wrestling style vs the best young proponent of that style today.

Kerry Von Erich vs Austin Aries - the Texas Tornado vs the Greatest Man that Ever Lived, a mis-match in size but both are/were arguably the best all-round wrestlers of their generations.

TNA already did it.

Fuck, seriously?

Also, here's what Chavo Guerrero, Sr. had to say about Nash's comments last night. Posted a shit ton of stuff on his Twitter (https://twitter.com/ChavoClassic), here's the highlights:

Chikara's demon tag team The Batiri have been trying to get Danielle Fishel (Topanga from Boy Meets World) to go on a date with the goblin Kobald:

So did the same booking team have HBK turning on HHH to set up their match too?
 
Wrestling Observer is reporting this scenario that leads up to Wrestlemania.

WWE's booking committee are contemplating a scenario where CM Punk would drop the WWE Championship to John Cena at SummerSlam to set up a rematch between Cena and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson at Royal Rumble-Johnson announced at Raw 1,000 that he would face whoever the WWE Champion is at the January pay-per-view event. Johnson would defeat Cena at the Rumble and then defend the title against Punk at WrestleMania XXIX.

I like this scenario alot more than the current one being set up.

I would much prefer that WM match, but there's no fucking chance in hell Rock is going over Cena again, so I don't see any scenario in which it can work.

I wonder if they will stick to the schedule or run the wrestling after the main stage shuts down like last year.

Also, sadly, there is no legends show this year.

So when WWE 13 comes out, were creating our own wrestling program, yeah?

I still wish that was a mode. WWE Universe online or something.

I have question since it seems right now that Bully Ray might be leaving TNA during September. Can WWE sign him or not because of the lawsuit going on?

Sadly? I'm still haunted by the memories of that Midnight Express vs Rock & Roll Express tag 'match'. *shudder*

Anyway, the BloodyMania card doesn't look too bad, other than those double main events, but I've no faith in it going off on time.

they can't

Ric Flair and Matt Morgan would be in WWE if they could sign those guys.

Oh you know it was good in a hilariously bad kind of way. As for Bloodymania, I might order it if it hasn't started by the time TNA is done.
 
Listening to F4W, I wish I could watch World of Hurt. It sounds so incredible.

It's all right... I will say that it is significantly more "real" than Tough Enough and those types but it is still a reality television show, some of the cast definitely work it to try and get themselves over (despite it being on a D-tier Canadian cable network). The editing is a bit weird, rather than following a sequential timeline they just focus on one wrestler per episode but film all of them at the exact same time.

I've seen most of the people on the show (though I missed the actual WOH "tapings" they've done at PWA show) and I think I've only been a fan of one of the wrestlers they've used (T-Bone Jack Sloan).

That's boring. I like Punk holding the title for over a year and still beating the Rock at RR, taunting the shit out of Cena about how he could do what Cena couldn't do. Best in the World.

then Rock wouldn't have a reason to take part in Wrestlemania. Vince probably promised him a title run as a thank you for sticking around after Mania 27

I'm sure they'll have something for the Rock at WM. Maybe a rematch with Punk where he wins, embarrassing the braggart heel champ.

Just throwing a silly fantasy idea out there: Rock loses at RR to Punk, Austin comes back to challenge Punk at WM. Like Punk has held the belt for over a year and no one can beat him, but then another old face comes back.

I know the posted Observer scenario is more likely though since it's boring and doesn't challenge anyone.

that would work if Rock stuck around for a few months, but we know he's leaving WWE for Hollywood the next day.

I'd rather have Cena win over Big Shoe.

Doesn't have to be either...

I feel like it takes so much wind out of Punk's character and reign and does nothing for anyone involved if this happens. I see Punk holding that thing until the Rock at RR. No one cares about Cena vs Rock 2.

Yes. Punk needs to go on a monster run to set up an Austin return. Though I'm guessing there are no plans for him to return any time soon. God dammit. This company...

No one cares about Bork vs H's either but WWE still shows it more than any other feud.

The match has been set for over a year.

Much like Orton punting Punk in the head and bringing it back up 2 years later.
