Heading to Raw tomorrow in Anaheim then Smackdown on Tuesday in Ontario.

In the 400s for raw so no sign. Floor seats for Smackdown so I'll take a sign. Got a few ideas for what I should put.

So apparently Vince wanted to fire Titus. Joey Mercury and HHH talked him out of it. Jesus Christ Vince. And he wonders why people are afraid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXDmmvC5cXs

In an alternate timeline we nearly got this thread trying to defend "rich old white guy fires black employee for touching him on show where white people touch him all the time and get title shots for it"

 

[sf2fanatic]

Wtf Sean Michaels try to do off the top ropes at the end of the match at Mania 12?

 

[Tagyhag]

Finn definitely goes to the Sting school of 'i wear different paint on my face so that means i'm a different character but can still do the same everything i did before' promo

Yeah it really is a shame. He was hyping up "The demon" considerably, but none of his attacks actually show any added aggression or modifications at all.

Spoiler

I'm still a mark for his entrance.

"WrassleGAF Supports 50/50 Booking" on one side.
"Vince McMahon for President 2016" on the other.

It's not too late to get Trump to add him as the VP nom on his ticket.

I'm not sure that's the full story. But people get fired for far less.

Even Titus admits what he did is foolish.

I went to PROGRESS and I liked it! Results and stuff, spoilered because you know what people are like:

Spoiler

1. The Origin (Dave Mastiff & Zack Gibson) def. The Dazzler Team (Earl Black Jr. & Darrell Allen), Sweet Jesus (Chuck Mambo & Pastor William Eaver) and Joe Coffey & Big Damo when Gibson pinned Mambo with a schoolboy. Coffey and Damo beat the everloving shit out of the Dazzler Team and Sweet Jesus after the match.

2. Bubblegum def. Jack Sexsmith with a pedigree. Match involved a lot of bare man arse.

3. Pollyanna & Flash Morgan Webster def. The South Pacific Power Couple (TK Cooper & Dahlia Black) when Webster pinned Cooper with a 630 splash. Awesome match.

4. Jack Gallagher def. Timothy Thatcher by submission with a crab hold. BattlArts as all heck.

5. Rampage Brown def. Mikey Whiplash with a piledriver. Big boy heavyweight match with a lot of brawling, including Whiplash getting whipped through an entire section of chairs in the crowd.

6. Tommy End def. James Davis with a standing octopus hold. Awkward moment in the match when Davis hit a moonsault and may have knocked End loopy because he didn't kick out and the ref stopped counting. End announced after the match that the Sumerian Death Squad vs. London Riots tag match next month will not only be a TLC match but the losing team will have to disband.

7. Marty Scurll def. Mark Haskins to retain the PROGRESS title after using the Danielson elbow strikes, stomps to the face and the crossface chickenwing. Amazing match. Scurll grabbed a chair after the match and used it to injure Haskins' arm as he did to Ospreay on the first Manchester show. Haskins was helped to the back by his wife.

Fun show! Main event was great, as was the mixed tag and Rampage/Whiplash.

PROGRESS is dope, glad you had fun, looking forward to catching this show

Yeah he's decent in the ring from what I've seen from him. Apparently had a fantastic match with Jimmy Havoc on one of the ENDVR shows a year or two ago.

Yeah, Eaver is real good for a relative newbie. The Havoc match you mentioned is free on YouTube: https://youtu.be/vo5OHAqd9uc?t=1729

Where were HHH and Mercury when poor Mad "Brad the Maddox" "Braddox" Maddrox got fired for saying prick?

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Any reason WWE hasn't tried to leverage social media to advance story lines? It's pretty much ruined by the stars using media to show them hanging out but it feels like a lost opportunity.

You don't count it when right before a match Michael Cole tells us Breeze said something bad about whoever on twitter and that's why they're having a 50/50 feud?

they did with the Mark Henry retirement angle.

it was super effective as well, because up to that point he wasn't using his twitter for kayfabe stuff.

Source on that?

 

[Ravensmash]

Do we honestly thing Vince would fire him based on that alone?

Perhaps it was a culmination of other things happening backstage.

 

[Intheflorsh]

You obviously haven't been watching Total Divas.

That requires planning.


Vince has his crew of 432 writers rewrite everything every hour for stupid reasons.

 

[Dirtyshubb]

You make it sound like Vince is the beacon of logic and reason.

Vince has been known to be insane for years, of course you will have people bringing up how successful he has been when most sensible people know that Vince was popular despite himself, not because of.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

The Daniel Bryan retirement tweet?

That's completely different and more of a news announcement

they did with the Mark Henry retirement angle.

I think this is likely the issue. It's hard to have their social accounts used in a story because so many posts are them just hanging out or out of character. I was thinking about back when Taker storylines were so much darker and how you could use instagram or snapchat to better push that kind of dark story forward.

 

[jmdajr]

Es Lunes!

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Miss Rollins so much. Wonder what his new finisher will be?

He'll keep The Pedigree because they're probably going to keep him in his Authority heel character.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Watching Extreme Rules 2011 and WTF is this Kharma entrance? She's supposed to be this menacing character, but it's all flashing lights and shit?

 

[Zach]

Fit Finlay's tombstone piledriver is way better than The Undertaker's.

That is all.

#Soon

i'll watch when he comes back, until then it'll be Lucha/NXT only

Cena coming back early from yet another major injury

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Either Cena is one of those freak of nature athletes or something is helping him along.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Cena is a mutant.

 

[Mahonay]

Cena Vs Taker incoming.

 

[Fox318]

Cena should not be cleared.

Favoritism exposed right here.

Let the dude rest and let your younger stars shine at mania.

Its not like they are going to sell more tickets.

 

[hamchan]

WTF Cena you god among men.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

He's obviously getting some sort of "assistance."

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Whether it's roids or him just not caring about his body and coming back as soon as he can move fully without screaming, I'm starting to side with the "Cena can't suffer major injuries" crew. 7 months minimum recovery is 3 months for him.

If that were him taking the muscle buster instead of Kidd, he'd have recovered, made a surprise return, won two belts, and lost one by now

 

[Cagey]

HGH assistance or not, Cena is an absolute monster. His ability to remain the top dog of WWE for over 12 years given all the responsibilities, workload, the physical toll...

He's one of a kind.

 

[shanafan]

Cena is a god among men. His body for built for wrestling. Not every guy can cut it, but Cena can.

Which younger stars do you have in mind for Wrestlemania?

Oh without question. He was great last year.

The rookie, AJ Styles.

 

[shanafan]

The rookie, AJ Styles.

Main event his first Wrestlemania? No.

And AJ isn't a younger guy.

[Nocturnowl]

I'm rooting so hard for a Super Cena recovery in time for Mania, truly the hero of the WWE.

 

[Mahonay]

So The Meltz on the latest Wrestler Observer Radio says that Brie Bella has made a decision to retire from active competition to be with Bryan, like most assumed she would. He speculates that she'll probably stay on until after Mania.

I dread that they'll throw the title on her at Fastlane as a farewell. Please, please don't use this as a reason to give her a big spot at Mania. She seems like a nice woman but dear god, I am not shedding any tears for never having to watch her "wrestle" again.

 

[Shadow780]

Cena is unreal

Have her retire the Divas title

If you actually want to get Roman and Ambrose over as the top face Cena can't be there.

They need a moment to shine without the politician behind their back ready to take the spotlight.

Here are the total times for Divas matches in the past five Manias:

WM31: 6:42
WM:30: 6:48
WM 29: 0:00
WM 28: 6:49
WM 27: 3:17 (Mixed tag match with Snooki)

I don't think you have to worry.

But I'll rather watch a Cena match than a Roman match. And I like Roman.
