All I need is Reigns to enter number one. Then number two enters and it's Barack Lesnar. Bring on that 60 minute Iron Man match with them outlasting all other competitors to the final two.

That's not bad, but you skipped the finish.

HHH or Sheamus throws out both their tired asses and sends all the kids home crying. Confetti everywhere like an NXT title match as he gloats with Vinny Mac raising the winner's hand.

Not that he has the balls to book that...I don't think they're comfortable with real heat anymore

That's the problem, I had a problem with Hunter consoling that kid who started crying when he was just being a heel. Breaking fucking kayfabe and shit.

I'm of two minds on HHH lately regarding this.

Kayfabe is super ultra dead. Like 30 years so.

The degree to which this guy, ostensibly the on screen boss and ultimate bad guy of the show disregards important character building beats both sets a bad example and is something they'd punish anyone besides him, steph, or the part timers/John Cena for doing.

This is what I would mean by kayfabe...it's just the "in universe" logic of the show. Do what you will on twitter or in real life, but keep the show consistent...To me, that moment with the kid should have been the turning point where HHH realized he was no longer qualified to be the main bad guy if he's worried about how it reflects on the executive position he holds.

With that said, he's had the 2 sickest entrances and really solid matches at the last 2 wrestlemanias, so I do enjoy his ring work now more than probably ever.
 
I Google phsyco sid gif and couldn't find the one with him looking intense and fist bumping fans. Can someone hook me up?



Also, where do you go for your gifs?

Needs more Stardom Wrestling in here.

My god her suplexes look amazing.

O'reilly vs Strong
, Andrews vs Ricochet and Marty vs Thatcher looks cool but god damn that opening just proves how laughable the idea of pushing Kenny Omega as a top heel is. Might as well throw Kikutaro in there for the IWGP reign.

Rushmore 2.0 is like BDK levels of 'I've only seen this three times yet it feels like it's been over 2 years old. end this shit' tier.

He, hey's just cleaning basic promos of "I'm a bad guy!" with "mwuahahahaha! I am a b a d guy."

Omega is the anime warlord we all need.

If you want an anime warlord then you can watch NOAH and watch Taichi.

It's the same thing and he's been doing it longer. (and it's garbage there too)

Someone and I were talking about how dead it was and I was like, maybe they should try restoring it. But at the same time they kill it by giving us all of this inside shit on the network.

I hope the Royal Rumble thread has the title "Roman Rumble".

It's never been more justified. Don't mess this up BatistaGAF. It's like a once in a century type of chance.
 
Watched some STARDOM, real good tag match with Kairi Hojo & Kay Lee Ray vs Kellie Skater & Evie, well worth checking out.

You think he'll do that spot in the upcoming IWGP Intercontinental Title match? Or anything remotely as ridiculous as that?
 
He did the dumb chainsaw spot in the match with Taguchi for the junior heavyweight championship at WK9

So? He also shoved a broom handle up Taguchi's ass, but I don't think a ridiculous match with Taguchi automatically means Omega will be doing such goofy comedy spots in his first title match as a heavyweight against what'll most likely be either Tanahashi or Goto. Can you see that? Honestly?

In the tag match where he pinned Shinsuke the only thing approaching a comedy spot was the Bucks playing the Terminator theme on the ring canvas.

Had a weird wrestling-related dream this morning and thought I would share.

Social Outcasts make their way down into the ring to do a promo, looks like Heath Slater has got a belt. Maybe the US Championship? Don't actually remember any words from the dream. After Heath says what he needs to say (assuming he's doing an open challenge thing), some new variation on the Bullet Club theme hits. Three guys come out and stop at the top of the ramp to do their shtick. Not sure who the two guys in the back are (AJ and Gallows maybe?), but the guy out front and holding the mic is Chris Jericho. Didn't actually see a match.

Honestly doesn't sound too far off a typical RAW, so I hope the WWE writing team isn't reading this.

The pressing question for me tomorrow night when we see the 6th variant of this exact opening... will Roman's shoulders be covered or will he be sporting the sleeveless look?

I'm betting on sleeveless to maintain 50/50 booking. Tune in tomorrow night to see if I'm right. I'm ALL-IN on sleeveless.

If it's a bad idea, they're reading.

I don't know man, they might go covered again for the ultimate swerve.

The only thing I'd bet on, is that Steph goes over.

And will he be holding the belt upside down?
 
Remember that report that came out months ago around the time Rollins got hurt and it said something like HHH was expected to win the Rumble and have a Mania title match with him

And everybody flipped out and cried bullshit because lol at the idea of HHH winning the Rumble...in 2016

And now it's gotten to the point where everyone is hurt and he's one of the only three people who could actually genuinely win it lol

He's still the odds-on favorite by virtue of the fact that he's not coming back on TV before the Rumble.

And why would they waste both Brock (the #1 guy who's over) and Roman (the #1 guy they're trying to megapush) on the same Mania match when they can pad their 4-hour event with having them in two matches? It wouldn't make any sense.

Brock's going to destroy a bunch of geeks. Get eliminated by his Mania opponent. Roman will come out towards the end of the match (instead of the beginning - even though that would make more sense). He'll toss out a bunch of guys. It'll look like he's in command and then Triple H will be #30 (or #31 'cause LOL) and win the title.
