Well I wish I wasn't stuck watching The X Files. I knew there was a good chance that it would be worse than Raw, and I can tell that it's way way worse. Way worse.

Absolute garbage.

 

[Heroman]

No way, Shane is the draw

Shane is 46 vs Taker who is 50, if this was like ten years ago it could be different but I cant see shane wrestling.

 

[The Silver]

Are Reigns and HHH screwed? It's likely that Taker vs Shane will be the craziest match in terms of spots and booking.

Also I'm worried that Shane will do an over the top spot which he shouldn't really do at his age.

HHH gonna get Rock/Hogan'd yet again, poor guy

 

[bbd23]

So:

Taker wins, we go back to shitty status quo with same ol' shitty, boring heel authority figures.

Taker loses, he lost to fucking Shane-O Mac of all people.

yea

 

[Lrrr]

The excited reactions in this thread to Shane coming back and then being announced as Undertaker's opponent for WM32 is why WWE sucks and has for years now. Vince is right to have zero respect for what his audience wants because time and time again, he can just throw whatever bullshit out there and people are all like, "ZOMG" and "This is awesome", etc.

Pseudo smarks who don't realize they're truly marks at heart.

 

[Jopie]

This is the best part of WWE. After a great reveal, all the speculation on where this could go (new factions, big changes, etc). I hope they get this right. Shane is awesome.

 

[ramoisdead]

I can only hope SunhiLegend or someone recorded the whole thing and upload it on Streamable or something so I can see how all this went down after work.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

No way, Shane is the draw

Nah, he's not a draw and he's never been a draw. Getting a good pop after being gone for 7 years is nice, but it doesn't mean you can sell the 100k tickets they need. Plus he's old and in no condition to wrestle a freaking Hell in a Cell match at Wrestlemania.

A real wrestler will be involved in this.

 

[LycanXIII]

What?!? What was new???

It wasn't the Super Bowl one. More talking about why the three of them were in the bunker.

Edit: Was this one, guess I missed it this past week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biG8R1yGouY

 

[Owzers]

They really need to set something up for new day outside of the same matches.

 

[JTripper]

So:

Taker wins, we go back to shitty status quo with same ol' shitty, boring heel authority figures.

Taker loses, he lost to fucking Shane-O Mac of all people.



YES PLEASE.

Losing to a McMahon has some storytelling significance honestly, more than losing to Brock does, at least to me.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Shane and Taker are gonna kill each other for like 10 minutes.

Then Vince will send lots of heels to the ring to make sure Shane doesn't win.

That will be countered when lots of Shane's buddies interfere to even the odds, a mixture of current babyfaces and Attitude Era relics. Maybe The Rock will even run in for one last Taker/Rock face to face. Gonna be hype as hell.

After a crazy brawl, The Undertaker will sit up and be standing in between both sides with a confused look on his face, and after like 30 seconds of deep thought will turn on Vince's heels tossing everyone out of the ring.

Then The Undertaker will lay down and allow Shane to pin him for the good of This Business™. So wow much generational

The Undertaker retires. Vince is off of TV for years. HHH loses to Roman and him and Steph go away, disgraced and embarrassed. Shane takes control but we never see him again after The Raw After Mania™ because lol @ Shane coming back to this nonsense. New day-to-day GM gets put into power, maybe Daniel Bryan, and a new era begins.

THINGS ARE LOOKING UP

 

[Fox318]

LOL @ people saying someone was shooting

When steph told him that it's easy to sit home and complain instead of running it she was shooting on the fans.


Even though they are usually not running the show right.

 

[oo7]

When you recruit for an army, you look to your family. You look to your blood. You look to the Mean Street Posse

 

[excelsiorlef]

It doesn't matter if streak is gone. If Shane wins it would damage the streak further. It wouldn't make Brocks win feel as special as it did. Especially if Taker loses to Shane of all people.

Makes no sense.

Perfect scenario would have been Triple H vs Shane and Taker vs Reigns.

It'd be a clusterfuck, multiple people ending. Not saying it will happen. Just that it could. Frankly it needs to be plausible because otherwise Taker shouldn't do Mania anymore of he's just guaranteed to win now

 

[Bubba T]

Whoa, Shane McMahon is back?

 

[justjim89]

Has anyone ever held onto a pin in a tag match in spite of being kicked? Would the count continue?

 

[slightconfuse]

The alliance is back!!

 

[Strangelove77]

Shane has to get replaced by an actual wrestler, right?
It's cool that he's back on tv, but I don't think him wrestling is something tons of people want to see.
I hope.

 

[The Silver]

So:

Taker wins, we go back to shitty status quo with same ol' shitty, boring heel authority figures.

Taker loses, he lost to fucking Shane-O Mac of all people.



YES PLEASE.

You act like if Taker loses it'll be clean

 

[shwimpy]

never give Sin Cara the hot tag again. he doesn't know what to do with it.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Nah, he's not a draw and he's never been a draw. Getting a good pop after being gone for 7 years is nice, but it doesn't mean you can sell the 100k tickets they need. Plus he's old and in no condition to wrestle a freaking Hell in a Cell match at Wrestlemania.

A real wrestler will be involved in this.

Are you in his training room?

 

[slightconfuse]

 

[The Silver]

Strong Cara too strong

 

[somedevil]

That was crazy stuff at the end.

 

[Brinbe]

that was a long fucking match. it's almost 9 and there's been that first segment and this match

 

[Sephzilla]

oh please yes. austin comes back to screw vince one more time

 

[JTripper]

Oh man guys, Shane returning honestly gave me one of the greatest feelings of WWE nostalgia. The days of The Alliance were my golden days of watching wrestling. Oh man, we already have Shane and Rock for Mania, all we need now is Austin and everything will be complete for me this Mania.

 

[Guzim]

Roman is texting Kevin Nash.

 

[Deadstar]

I like the idea of Shane running the company from now on. Vince can take a backseat.

 

[NastyBook]

Those last spots were crazy. Good stuff. Is it sad that I thought the facemasking was somehow Sin Cara's fault?

 

[RBH]

 

[Angry Grimace]

Fuck it Fatal Four Way at Mania incoming lol

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

Roman can't be at the hospital with his "brother"?

What an asshole.

 

[Heroman]

Them Boooooooooooooooooooo

 

[PROh1bited]

I dunno who's worse. Jo Jo or Roman.

 

[Vestal]

Holy shit THEM BOOS.. LOVE IT

 

[jonjonaug]

Hypest crowd in the world and they're still booing Reigns lol

Holy crap this promo's awful.

 

[Kusagari]

Balor will debut leading Bullet Club with Nakamura, Anderson and Gallows to help Shane win.

 

[Kuroyume]

Shut up Roman

 

[BananasWithGuns]

I love Roman's pause and blank stare trying to remember his lines.

 

[MG310]

Putting that in the games is the best thing Yukes ever did.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Roman paid off Brock, look at that stupid look he has on his face

Wait

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Shane has to get replaced by an actual wrestler, right?
It's cool that he's back on tv, but I don't think him wrestling is something tons of people want to see.
I hope.

I'm assuming that's why Cena's trying to come back early

 

[The Silver]

Shane, New Day, now Bork?

 

[Nameless]

Time for Dean to drive the ambulance to the ring like Stone Cold

 

[JambiBum]

Here's the video of Shane thanking everyone.

 

[Vestal]

Shane, New Day, now Bork?

Blowing their load in the first hour

 

[orioto]

Roman Reigns has some Hobie Doyle tier acting

 

[Heroman]

Are you in his training room?

I doubt that cause he would have know month ago to get in ring shape which probably not the case.
