I wouldn't call Godfather innovative, but he was certainly a classic.

Hope I can get another free month of the network for Mania. No way I trust their stream when they couldn't even have a decent stream of Fastlane though.

Triple Haitch has been in business for himself for the last decade and a half.

I mean my god, has there ever been a bigger opportunist in the history of any business?

You could make an argument for Hogan. But that's about it.
Personally, I think Triple H has surpassed even him.

The second Edge & Christian show was a lot better. There were definitely some misses, but overall, I found it pretty good. The Miz segment was great.

HHH has managed to keep himself in check, unlike Hogan who has basically ruined himself what, two or three times now?.
So I give HHH the edge, he's been consistently on the rise for 17 years now with no big hiccups.

Yeah, I've done that a few times, but you think they are going to be offering Mania month free? I feel like they would shut off the free month trial program for April.
Click to expand...
I did my free trial last year the day after Mania and was able to watch the archive

When they first launched they had the "pay for 3 months to get PPVs" but they probably abandoned it

Triple H had his eyes on the prize from the start - that's why he didn't get involved in the drugs and drinking like the rest of the Clique. Now, while Hulk Hogan is trying to get a few dollars off Gawker, Triple H will be the guy in charge of one of the largest entertainment brands in the world while being seen as a hero by the smart fans who used to hate him simply because he hired some indy and foreign guys.

For all the hate Roman, remember all the guy has done is accept a push to the top - something everybody else in the locker room would do in a New York second. There are absolutely zero stories about Roman politicking or anything like that, aside from standing with the other two guys in The Shield when it came to dumb booking.

OTOH, Triple H is the guy who basically set up the Montreal Screwjob. And that was just his first act. Yet, he's the guy that's going to get a standing ovation from the smarks in Dallas in a few weeks? Really?

WWE isn't paying Brock Lesnar nearly enough to carry Dean Ambrose to a passable Hell In a Cell match at Wrestlemania JerrahWorld.

Why must they punish Lesnar like this.

Some of us haven't forgotten. Triple H is just that damn good at playing the smart mark community like a fiddle. They send him fruit baskets for crying out loud!

No swerve sir...Shane is facing Undertaker's old ass at Mania. If Shane wins, then he controls Raw.

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.

That about sums it up. Imagine a year ago hearing that the main event of Wrestlemania 32 would be HHH as the champion vs Roman Reigns still trying and failing to be a baby face. And Undertaker would be fighting Shane McMahon. Everyone would just laugh and say no way would WWE be that stupid.

I have a feeling Taker's going to show up on Raw and decline the match, and then Vince will fight Shane instead. They won't put Taker in a heel position at Mania.

I honestly don't see a problem with Ambrose vs Lesnar.

Has more potential to do something note worthy or memorable than Lesnar vs Strowman.

Shane isn't going to be wrestling a full match with Undertaker. The Cell will be locked and whoever Shane is really having fight Undertaker will come out while Shane helpfully cheats.

They were being coy about it but there's six fucken weeks until Mania, so yeah, they're going to slow roll the fuck out of what's in the booooooooooox and even if Shane loses, they never specified Shane couldn't just remove it from the box ahead of time.

WWE gives people just enough to keep watching.

I honestly wish they'd have the balls to just strap a rocket to Roman, regardless of the reactions instead of trying to come up with some convoluted bullshit to prevent another hijacking.

Roman doesn't politic, he merely does everything he's told without batting an eye. That's his problem. If he grew a set of balls and actually fought back against what they want him to do, more people might actually be cheering him.
