I love the implication that they're all gonna have to take the AA one day. Like Cena's training the next line of jobbers.

It's ridiculous and it's not as if there needs to be a lot of work to just give her something. Even just something basic as the thrill of competition being the fire that drives her, lets her opponents get more offense in than they should plays into it. She wants to go to war but hasn't had the opportunity in NXT yet to do so.
Hell, cite the Greek mythology of Athena (I mean, Ember Moon is still Athena's WWE name) and the "War Goddess" influences from that and play with it, she's been using "NXTWarGoddess" as a hash tag for a while now anyway. Honestly, I think she already knows but just hasn't been given the chance for whatever reason, it's just a modification of that.
Honestly, I think the Rumble was better before they threw the automatic world title shot at WrestleMania into the mix in 1993, which eventually made shit way more predictable as to who would win.

The fans have acknowledged AJ as their hero even if Vince and company won't do it during a time of season they perceive matters. AJ will take a step back for Mania season - I won't take it to the bank that either Styles or Owens will get singles matches on that card even though AJ had one with Jericho last year - but he'll be right back in the main event picture once the part-timers go away and Cena decides to take another 6-month break to film movies and his reality series.
I'm convinced anyone worth watching at Mania will be hid away in some multi-man match for some mid-card belt nobody gives a rat's ass about while Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and the part-timers all get 30-minute matches filled with restholds and overbooking.
That includes the likes of Styles, Owens, Jericho, Nakamura, Joe, Miz, Zayn and anyone else that doesn't look like Brauny the Strowman or Big Cass.

I agree. Even with Dibiase buying #30 it didn't help him win
Because Goldberg vs Brock no matter how bad it will be is the biggest money they can do, and Brock gonna get his win back.

Mania isn't about wanting quality matches any more.
It's about wanting quality WrestleMania moments. Goldberg hasn't had his yet.
The WrestleMania that delivers great matches and not half-assed spectacle is next Wednesday.
50/50 booking at its finest. And if that's the biggest money they can do, then there's something royally fucked up in this business.
Because mooching off the nostalgia train while leaving the current product to die can only carry you for so long.
Hopefully not any time earlier.

My favorite part is it's not even 50/50. Goldberg would still be up in the all time series 2-1

They'll be looking at her now, for sure.
Hopefully they don't get to her in a long time.

Rumble 90
Tony Schiavone!!!!
Tony Schiavone!!!!
Only thing I remember about the 90 rumble is the crowd going apeshit when DiBiase is all alone in the ring and then the buzzer goes off and it's Jake Roberts.
Such a great moment, especially when he lands the DDT.
No way is Cena winning at the Rumble. That would tie him for Flair's record, and you know they would want to do a BIG coronation for that. The Rumble is big but its not THAT big. AJ retains until Mania.

Cena is only on for 6 months next year, right?
In many, many ways Smackdown is built around AJ. It is hard seeing them do something too foolish.

WM news from Meltzer
Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I'm sure the San Antonio crowd will love Reigns and Cena winning the world title on the same night to set up yet another VinceMania shoved down everyone's throats.

That is true.
And fuck at that Meltzer news. They want Reigns vs Undertaker for Undertaker's potential last match. Fucking hell, that'll get Reigns over /s
Hana isn't under contract yet and JWP and Stardom both have been building angles and shows around her.
It's pretty obvious but I imagine William Regal or Triple H will 'discover' her in the next 5 years
She looks like fighting game dlc skins.
Finally Reigns can take the Undertaker's powers and become the new Undertaker and what Giant Bomb foretold 2 years ago can come true.
Fuck.
Ambrose and Styles have been carrying SD on their backs hell this damn company on their backs the entire year and they'll probably be in tag matches or multi-man matches. Why the fuck is Taker gonna take on Reigns potentially when he said he's a SD guy? Why is Cena going to-it's Cena and all but shit.
I said before and I'll say it again, watch. It'll be Ambrose and Styles vs Wyatt and Orton. Why will Ambrose and Styles team up?
They don't have any matches for them so they'll have to.

Ambrose will be in Renee's corner as she faces Maryse with Miz in her corner on the Pre-Show.

More stuff from the Observer. Money In The Bank will be a SD PPV.
And WWE is now open to signing Riddle

Why does Meltzer say dumb shit like "I don't know why NJPW doesn't sign him" knowing Riddle is a major pothead?

You can be a pothead and work New Japan. You just can't get caught.
Nah he's gotta have another WM match to lose again since he hasn't won any in his single's career. Gotta keep the Streak going.

Its pretty sad its gonna be Part-TimerMania again. HHH having a guaranteed match at Mania every year is the worst. FUCK HHH

If Joe does come up in the Rumble (which seems like a near-certainty at this point) he'll probably go with either AJ or Dean at WM depending on whether they bring him up as a face or heel.

HHH vs. Rollins will probably be great though. And it makes sense in a lot of ways and is the culmination of a long storyline.
Of all the matches happening (or rumored to be happening) at Mania it's by far the least offensive.
if they pair joe against dean, even as a heel joe is going to be the face to the audience after a short period of time (talking a month at most until it happens)
They're waiting to turn Ambrose anyway, they just can't because things are unbalanced. If he and Joe had a double turn it would do wonders. We need a major player to take over Ambrose's spot as a face because he's due for a turn next year.

If this is Taker's last match it should be against AJ, I think.
Send him out on a high note.

Saddening note from Alvarez. He said tonight on F4D that he's heard that Vince loves Jason Jordan but isn't high on Chad Gable, so most internally suspect the team to break up much sooner than anyone would expect.
Of course it is Alvarez, so take it with a grain of salt. Still, it's baffling considering the only thing that got Jason Jordan over in NXT was Chad Gable.

Seeing as how every Mania is like this and they all sell thousands of seats in hours at ridiculous prices, I'm not sure what you're expecting WWE to do different. Obviously it's what people want to see.
