I have to pick between $5 Wrasslin and Elimination Chamber tomorrow ;(
That's really awesome Aiii.
And I don't know why people are complaining about not seeing current stuff on the network, I thought the whole point was that we get away from the current things.
Also wow, didn't know about halogaf. Oh well. Doomgaf's better anyway

Unless Vince hired the MLB.TV B-team led by Virgil, I can't really see them shitting the bed on the technical side. There may be some hiccups during launch but MLB's streaming service is the best one out of the four major 'murican sports leagues by far.
MLB.TV may be probably Bud Selig's single greatest contribution during his tenure as commish.
$5 Wrasslin is gonna squish Elimination Chamber like a bug.

The Vince Russo shoot DVD on a pole match and Big Donnie vs Jeff Hart are two MOTY candidates for sure

I bet CM Punk now spends all his time watching GI Joe episodes on Netflix.
This thread getting shut down would cause my motivation to read GAF to be broken in half. I skim through most topics on gaming side and the majority of OT, but I actually READ WrassleGAF. I post in here maybe once or twice a month at most, but I read through the thread multiple times a day.

He just plays videogames with AJ. She's a nerd, you see.
Very little and unpublicized fact about her.

She reads comix and plays vidya and is a gurl!
Pay attention to her!
hopefully nothing will happen, we've got restraint and dont do anything too wild.
Oh I guess this is the part where I bitch about gaming side isn't that right Jred2k? Yeah I read the crap you wrote after I got banned

What's the info on Boots abandoning his avatar early? Did you find a no-compete clause that wasn't ironclad?
Taken too many lighttubes to the head and he can't work out what day it is.

You don't know how bad I want to jump the gun. I have the most kickass Vince avatar and I wanna show it off.
FOR THE VERY LAST TIME, ITS LIVE ON PAY PER VIEW, ELIMINATION CHAMBER 2014! I still have no clue what these shows will be called after the move to the WWE Network, since even WWEs website still has the shows listed as Pay-per-views, but thats a discussion for another time. Because right now, its PREDICTION TIME! Yay! So lets get to it!
Pre-show: Cody Rhodes & Goldust vs. Ryback and Curtis Axel
Poor Cody and Dustin, as per Goldust tweet theyre not getting their WrestleMania singles match against each other, the one theyve been lobbying for for years. They dropped their belts last month and did a bit of teasing for a break-up, but here they are on the pre-show again and shilling WWEs fake Legos on Raw instead of being in an actual program. They deserve a lot better than what theyre getting, especially with Goldust current form. But alas, theyre stuck fighting Rybaxel on the pre-show in a match that nobody will ever care about. But hey, theyre the faces and in the free match, so Cody and Goldust win regardless.
Titus ONeil vs. Darren Young
Titus is one of the most charismatic people on the roster right now, the guy is just too damn funny to be a heel for long, but here we are as he turned on Darren and getting a PPV match to, I suppose, blow off their feud. I think Darren is headed towards being travelling buddies with JTG and Zack Ryder next, so thatll tell you who I think will win this match. I really think the Prime Time Players deserved a tag-team title run and its a shame they never got it. This match shouldnt be anything special as both men arent exactly the best technicians in the ring, but thats okay. Titus should brutally beat up Darren and take the win and the midcard push that goes nowhere.
Intercontinental Championship: Big E vs. Jack Swagger
Jack Swagger won the Elimination Chamber last year Yep, that happened. I actually forgot about it until somebody mentioned it a few weeks ago. Thats depressing. But hey, at least he gets an IC Title show now. I dont really see him winning though, hes been completely overshadowed by Cesaro from the beginning of their team and in recent weeks its gotten even worse. I think its time for a Cesaro singles push, which means one of these two has to split away from Zeb and I think it will be Swagger and his losing here will play into Zeb and Cesaro dropping the dead weight. So two predictions, 1. There will be a botch that leads to bleeding in this match and 2. Big E retains the belt.
Tag Team Championship: The New Age Outlaws vs. The Usos
I am one of the few people that doesnt seem to mind too much that the Outlaws got a token title run for nostalgias sake, but Im very much of the opinion that its time for the Usos to get their title run, they have been pretty over by the crowd for a while, in part due to one of them being featured on Total Divas I suppose, but also because theyre just a lot of fun to watch. The Outlaws, while fun for nostalgia reasons are not very fun to watch. Expect The Usos to work their asses of in this match to put over the old men, but in the end they just have to win the belts here.
Batista vs. Alberto Del Rio
Batista has beat up Alberto Del Rio on every occasion since he came back. Literally. That makes this match the least interesting match on the entire card. Del Rio cant even touch Batista and yet here is a match between the two to What? Beat Del Rio up some more? Del Rio should get no offense, be beaten dead and not return on TV ever again, because that apparently how much stronger Batista is then him. Batista wins. WWE Creative loses for being utter shit, once more.
The Wyatt Family vs. The Shield
This is the match that, along with the Chamber, will make this PPV be worthwhile. I dont know what it is about The Shield that makes WWE Creative not suck, but ever since their debut in 2012 they havent missed a single beat in booking these guys. And this feud with The Wyatts is no exception. The classic teasing with the heels backing down from the fight (obviously theyre technically both heels, but in this match, The Shield are clearly the faces) has been epic as well, classic wrestling booking and things that WWE should do more often. Regardless, theyre doing it here and this should be an epic brawl. I LOVE IT MAGGLE! As for who should win, theres something to be said for both teams, but since they are setting up The Shield breaking up I expect some kind of problem in the team that leads to Ambrose taking the loss via pin fall to Bray Wyatt and leading to some kind of angry exchange between Reigns and Ambrose. If the IC and US Title unification is still on the table, I see Reigns or Rollins winning the IC belt soon (maybe on Raw this Monday) and there being a three-way between The Shield for both titles, or a singles excluding Rollins. Anyways, this match is going to be awesome, and The Wyatts win.
WWE World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber Match: Randy Orton vs. Cena vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus vs. Christian vs. Cesaro
Easily one of the best match concepts ever, the Elimination Chamber should be a lot of fun this year as well, the reason this year is going to be great is, of course, that its packed with their best wrestling talent. Weve had years where guys like Santino were in there, but not this year. We get the two best wrestlers in WWE right now, Cesaro and Bryan, we get Orton and Cena, who are 5-stars when they get to work with the best, we get a ring general in Christian, who has great matches with everyone and we get Sheamus, who is a great hoss and works particularly well with both Christian and Bryan and no doubt will have similar chemistry with Cesaro. My wish list for this match includes Cesaro Giant Swinging every participant in this match one after the other. In the end, there must be shenanigans to set up some WrestleMania stuff, so I expect Hunter out there to mess with Bryan and the Wyatt Family to mess with Cena. Not sure what the direction for Sheamus is, but I think with Cesaros recent up rise, he would be a good WrestleMania opponent for him. When all is said and done, Orton retains the championship and goes to WrestleMania to face Batista. Well see how they will insert Bryan into that match, or if theyll go with HHH vs Bryan (doubtful, at this point, but if Punk really doesnt return, what other choice do they have for Triple H?)
All in all the undercard for this PPV isnt all that impressive, but those final two matches sure are looking amazing and are going to be fucking awesome, cant wait and Im actually considering sleeping during the day and staying up to watch the PPV and go straight to work from there, last time I did that was for SummerSlam, so thats saying something about how hyped I am for those final two matches.

Will OT give a shit about EC? All it does is split the discussion during the PPV into two threads.

chances are.. No
Actually, the network thread had several people mention they were looking to get back into WWE. I think interest is at an all time high.
Wrestling matters again?
Until they crush everyone's hopes and dreams again, I suppose yeah.
All thanks to Kevin Nash.
