Hopefully, we will never be forced into such a horrific position.
Edit:
I just can't
Ya'll joke on Nash. Barrett's been injured more than Mark Henry at this point. This fragile little' bare knuckle brawler'.
I bet it's because all his real life knuckle brawling has left his body not knowing what's a shoot and what's a work anymore.
Think about what would happen if Barrett were made of steel: he'd be featured on television more and with fewer breaks.
We're lucky.
If you look closely you can see Daniel Bryan down there.
Presumably if they ever fix the Women's division, you'd make her "Mrs. McMahon" where the top lady gets the best of her on a near weekly and/or monthly basis.
It's not the most creative thing ever, but it's what they should do.
Vince, although he may be old an out of touch, made Reigns look like a million bucks last night. That's what she should do for the women.

The ratings show that he is. Getting Reigns over for two nights on the back of HHH and Vince doesn't change the fact that creative is shit 99% of the time, commentary is awful, production is stale, he's sacrificing his product to cash in on a 3rd hour of Raw, etc.
Yeah - I think Cena / Reigns is the next progression. I think now that they have Brock signed for a couple of years, they can take their time for Reigns / Lesnar. I think the reason they rushed Reigns / Lesnar was because they didn't know whether Brock was sticking around after WM 31.
I see the following options for Lesnar
1) Lesnar v Reigns 2 (Main Event is Cena vs Taker)
2) Lesnar v Returning Star (Batista, Rock)
3) Lesnar v Bait (Owens, Sheamus, etc)
I'm terrified of Bayley getting called up unless it is done perfectly. I honestly think her and Balor should stay in NXT and be the main stars of NXT, and be put at a level equal to the main roster. Kayfabe reasoning is simple too - Regal has asked WWE to leave Bayley in NXT to a) headline shows and b) mentor newer recruits, and that takes priority over the main roster. You can even play it up as the "dream match" that one day the NXT champion will take on the WWE champion to see who is the best.
EDIT: Tentative WM 32 card
Card 1:
Main Event: Cena vs Undertaker
WWE WHC: HHH (RR winner) vs Reigns (c)
Lesnar vs Batista (or someone else who is fine getting manhandled)
Undertaker and Kane vs the Wyatts or something
Zayn vs Owens (IC Title)
Ambrose vs Del Rio (US Title)
Card 2:
Main Event: Cena (RR Winner) vs Reigns (c), WWE WHC
HHH vs Ambrose
Lesnar vs Bait
Taker vs Bait
Card 3: Lesnar vs Reigns, WWE WHC
Cena vs Taker
HHH vs Ambrose
EDIT: A Final Four in the Rumble being Ambrose, Lesnar, Cena, and HHH would be...pretty epic, because all of them could legitimately win.

Big Daddy Walter is just awesome;
There's so many great hoss wrestlers in Europe at the moment, someone needs to run a proper heavyweight tournament!

just in Europe?
Why does that ring look like a trampoline with a trash bag over it?

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Do they even have enough guys to fill out the card if they do that? WM is like 4 hours. I mean, you still got Reigns, Ambrose, Owens, Lesnar, Cena and Taker, but odds some of those guys are fighting each other.

It won't, but somehow I'm hoping this whole thing will make the realize that making HHH and Steph into a poor man's Vince doesn't work. Do something more interesting with them, or just get rid of the "Authority" altogether.

Roman Reigns v. the Rock
It's like poetry

The Rock would probably pull a "Everyone still thinks I SUCK" v2.0 and completely ruin Roman forever.
It IS like poetry.

I'm still completely convinced that the plan for WrestleMania was actually Rollins v. Reigns v. Ambrose.

North America hosses are best, if I had to break it down by continent. Europe is no slouch, though. Nor is Africa...or Asia...
Yknow fuck it. Let's do it. Hoss Tournament, winner is declared the "World Warrior"

Depends on the constraints. All time, NA. Present day? EU all the way. Especially if you go non WWE.

I just finished watching Raw from last night. Outside of a few boring matches (Breeze/Neville, Ryback's match, and the Divas match) that was probably the best Raw I've seen all year. Good moment for Reigns seeing as he was booed out of the building in Philly back in January, and finally got over in December in the same city.
I thought Vince was going to break a hip taking a bump like that.

It's incredible how fast Breeze was made into a goober. I mean the wackier gimmicks like Adam Rose or whatever usually fall fast but at least Rose got some vignettes and a bunch of bad segments doing his Rosebud thing. Breeze just showed up out of nowhere on a Smackdown, and was a jobber within a couple of weeks.

I think that's what he was brought up for. I mean, his gimmick is super one dimensional. He's a good guy to have on the midcard.
I thought it might be Reigns v Rollins v Ambrose v Lesnar. Basically, have the only real way to beat Lesnar require the Shield.
I wouldn't be surprised if that's the long-term plan for WM 33. Especially considering WM 33 is in...Minneapolis, Lesnar's home state.

Somewhere, someone truly believes the original plan for Mania was always Bryan/Batista/Orton
A goofy gimmick doesn't make you automatically a goober.

Honestly I cannot wait for Cena vs Reigns the finishes will never end cleanly.
lol, I think Steph and Bryan both confirmed that the original plan was Sheamus / Bryan, Punk / HHH, Lesnar / Taker, Orton / Batista? I know Steph and HHH had a big interview with Bleacher Report or someone fairly big about how the whole thing changed and how they realized they had something with Bryan after the Seattle RAW.

The only problem with a lot of the Japanese hosses is that they're much shorter than their counterparts. It's not the be all to end all, but it is a big deal in my eyes. Uphill battle.
Still, they're some tough fuckers.

There's no reason to add Lesnar into it other than diluting the match and your star power. They actually already did that with Orton a while back.
It's basically just an updated version of the Gorgeous George gimmick. It'd work for him as an upper-midcard guy who could main event a PPV once or twice against a strong face champion.
You could still turn it around, but it's WWE so I'm not expecting it.
