I'd probably go with:

HHH vs Ambrose (whether he's IC champion or not)
Undertaker vs Roman Reigns
Brock Lesnar vs Kevin Owens
Kallisto (or even Del Rio since he probably gets the title at Fastlane) vs AJ Styles
Charlotte vs Sasha vs Becky
New Day vs Enzo & Cass
Andre The Giant Battle Royale

Easily a solid 7 card show. Toss in a few 10-15 minute segments with Austin/Rock/HBK/whoever and you're gold.

This is far and away the best and most likely scenario. I really hope they go Ambrose/HHH and have Rollins cost HHH the belt. Start the Rollins/HHH fues and build toward the Sheild triple threat we know will happen.

Thank you everyone. It didn't hit me until today that this is happening but it has to be done. I think my fiancée is more worried than I am but at least she'll be there with me the entire time, recovery as well. It's kinda sad because my dreams that I have might be hindered but fuck it. I've determined that I'll get through it and I'll get married in Oct, then maybe try my luck as homegrown wwe talent. I'll be here, I'll let you all know how it goes.

Thank you all once again.

Enough of the sad stuff, let's get back to business.
Wish you the best man, really hope your recovery is as fast and painless as possible!
 
Fujin and Raijin (aka Komatsu and Tanaka from New Japan) are going to be on a show that CMLL is streaming next Tuesday. I'm honestly looking forward to this more than anything on Fast Lane or New Beginnings.

That is scary in retrospect, holy jesus.

Sucks to be Sheamus too, between this and the 8 second WM match ppl are never going to stop giving him heat from now on.
That's entirely misplaced blame. Sheamus was simply doing what he was told and working the spots as designed.
There are a lot of parties to blame here... but Sheamus isn't one of them and any fan that holds him responsible is completely misguided.

Wasnt a concussion a part of the reason he bailed WWE?

Wasnt the story that he got a concussion in the rumble and they wanted him to work RAW and he said "fuck that"?

They wanted him to take a test before the show started but he bailed before he took the test.

Besides I don't think he has concussion problems because if he does why is he going into MMA where he is going to get punched in the head.

Where is everyone getting that Titus is suspended for 90 days? As far as I can see it is quoted in dirt sheets as 'the suspension could be for upwards of 90 days'. Hardly concrete, and there is nothing on WWE.com

I think it's too much of a petty suspension to be mentioned in the site tbh.

*Watches video for 15 seconds from the point mentioned

Nope, not watching anymore.

Fuck.


I have to wonder how no one caught that...Fuck.

Wow that's brutal to watch now. The "Oh my god" and "Daniel Bryan is hurt" seem like legit reactions from the commentary. Sheamus is probably freaking out internally and wisely decides to just leave Bryan outside the ring for a count out.

I will be honest, I bet Barrett felt the worst after it all.
Sheamus handled it as best he could, making it convincing after realizing what was going on and going with the countout finish

I wonder if Benoit did as well, but no one picked up on it.

When the NFL sees a player get hit they test him.

In the WWE Vince will tell them "I'll owe you one pal", unless it messes with his booking.

Everyone should be tested for CTE right now and if they fail they shouldn't wrestle under a publicly traded companies banner no matter what the economic risk is.

And yes I know CTE tests aren't finalized but there are brain damage and assessments tests they could do.

They should be getting the non-cursory CTE scans as well. They need to get the tests that Daniel Bryan had done in New York last month.

But that won't happen.

I can absolutely see people getting the tests

lol if anyone thinks Vince and HHH are going to ask for or require it be done, though

I don't know how anyone could argue against this.

It's shitty, and the only ones left standing might be Roman Reigns, Big Show and Bron Strongman, but it's the right thing to do...

Hard to fake? D-Von Dudley has sold big bumps like that his entire career where he makes his entire body shake. It's not anything anyone would have noticed immediately.
I thought that too, but DVONS looks different. Could be because we know Bryan stated he was affected by seizures.

None of that matters anyway when you have selective steroid testing and even selective rule enforcement with things like bladeing (as much as I think they should bring it back) and chairshots

Concussion testing seems like its still very hit or miss right now. The basic stuff they have the wrestlers do by WWE medical staff is I guess a bit of a joke you could get through once you are actually literally still head spinning and seeing stars,


But I think at this stage it should be a mandatory thing that anyone in the WWE who has been wrestling for 5 years or a history of concussions should get whatever scan and testing Bryan got. Whatever the current best solution is.



If that CTE test Chris Nowinski and his team are working on becomes a reality then shit is going to get real because right now its still a lot of guess work about how much damage has actually been done. Right now they just dont know unless you physically examine the brain after death.



Even then politics will always play a part. Less bullshit will happen once Triple H takes over but you will still have bullshit.
