Seth Rollins should be the breakout face from The Shield. Welcome to The Big Show cycle Roman Reigns!
So the announcement is going to be the WWE Network?

sweet, i'm in. I hope my pick takes it, but is also able to be avatarized 40 times. hmmmm.
Yes, 100%
Mark Henry's theme is 'somebody gonna get they ass kicked'. How can 'somebody' be Mark Henry? It's his theme therefore he is referring to someone else. I wasn't going to poke holes in this plot before, but I'm just saying there are some plot holes emerging in my eyes. The plot is being lost.
I originally thought they wanted Henry vs Lesnar, but then reneged. Logic went they didn't want Henry working with such a stiff striker since he's so injury prone and they wanted to keep him active on the roster. But then they intentionally sidelined him with the "broken arm", so no idea. All I can think is they played up that it's a minor injury ("hairline break" and "dislocated shoulder") so he'll still be able to have a Mania match if need be, with odds to overcome as well.

weren't they gonna put Big E against Lesnar?
Yes, it was confirmed on a schedule that either WWE or the event promoters put out today.
It's supposed to mean somebody is about to get their ass kicked by Mark Henry. Doesn't matter who.
Did you not hear that crowd Monday night? They are craving for Brock to pass the torch to Big Show. Big E can get his in 15 years.
I hope Henry isn't genuinely injured.
It would be pretty cool if he returned at the Royal Rumble (can enter the match and maybe cost Lesnar somehow, providing Lesnar is in the match which I hope he is). In February, we can then get an Elimination Chamber match consisting of Lesnar, Cena, Orton, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan and Mark Henry.
Also, Del Rio is gonna be squashed in 5 minutes by Batista at Elimination Chamber. Warm up for Lesnar.

Batista's absent because he needs to win the Royal Rumble.
Exactly. How they gonna bitch out Mark Henry like that? He comes out and Lesnar kicks his ass. Henry does the ass kicking. That's his purpose. This is bullshit of the highest magnitude.

I don't think Brock and Bautista can have a good match.
He's going to be feuding with Rybotch
Oh I think a program between two part-timers is even dumber than what they're currently doing. The least they could do is put them in to programs with people they haven't tried pushing for years to no reaction. Lesnar/Big E isn't going to sell any less PPVs than Lesnar/Big Show, but at least the second option creates the possibility of helping a younger guy become a star.
People wanted to see Punk?
Or maybe the threat of no more Orton on the show got folks to tune in!

Vince does not care about creating new stars. Big E is just another generic Big Man they will push that will go through the Ig Show cycle. They are goingto run on the vestiges of yonder for Wrestlemania. They will run these legends into the grave until Vince has blood on his hands. WM will never be used to elevate new stars. John Cena feeds them and that's all they need.

You're right. Big E hasn't even paid his dues as IC Champion. He hasn't lost a single non-title match, wtf.
thoughts on GAIKAKAKAK...
All digital games you own and ps+ titles should be able to play for free....anywhere on any compatible device.
Rent ANY game for x amount of dollars a week. PS+ discount
Subscription gives you x amount of rentals of ANY GAME per month and you can stack em somehow if unused. PS+ discount as well.
If you want a game permanently you have to buy it on PSN, or be under PS+ subscription.
Just can't see infinite library being a choice.

So guys.
I've got an idea.
When the network launches with all of the back catalogue of Raw and Smackdown, do we want to organize a group re-watch year by year? We can set aside a specific time to go through the episodes and do it like we're watch Raw live each week here, or we can just have a week where we discuss certain episodes or whatever.
What do you guys think?

No idea if I have time but.. SURE!
I'm in, provided I get access to it.

Brock jobbing to Tista would be a crime against humanity. The only guy that Brock should put over on the entire roster should be Bryan

The last mid-card champ that was booked this strongly was Bobby Lashley.

Folks held on to see Undertaker or Austin, more likely.
Left for same reasons as Brock no? Travel schedule was too brutal?
Any rumours on how this WWE Network will handle old PPVs? As in, will they keep the original music, not mess with commentary, not edit wrestlers or spots or chants, and stop blurring WWF?
I haven't watched wrestling regularly for years and am only watching for Batista's return right now, but I'd be pay for WWE Network if they did it properly.

Forgetting about the previous Alien game, are we?
What previous Alien game? I know about previous Aliens games but no previous Alien game.

I think we are all going to be severely disappointed when The E announces their network....

I'm out of the loop, is there multiplayer support?
Beats me but seems so. That's all just a bunch of guesses on my part. Here is the official press...

Sara del Rey should be the William regal of the NXT women's division
I think Chris Hero said in his shoot that SDR doesn't really want to be. I'm sure if she pushed for it, they'd make her an on-screen character in NXT. But Hero said she's quite happy to be a trainer, and was in fact close to retiring from the indies when WWE came calling.
Still want to see a Finlay type run though.

Nah, he said his son told him Ambrose was a great talker and Mick agreed and that he was contemplating that he would maybe explain what happened to the feud they were scheduled to have in one of his Q&A gigs some day.
Rumor has it Ambrose made a comment about Mick's family and Mick took it the wrong way so he ended the program.
Yeah I would like Brock vs Henry way more as well. I don't want to see Big Show ever at this point.
That sounds like a fun idea.
Probably, I kinda already expect that it will most likely not be available in my country.
Foley already explained what happened in that feud on his DVD from last year, in the extras. They were supposed to have a feud that would build to a match at Summerslam, but then partway into the angle Foley went to see WWE's doctor, and said doctor said Foley was done, for good, and could never wrestle again.
So the angle got killed since there would be no point having it if there was no match to have. Foley said he felt bad about having to leave Ambrose high and dry, and continued to check up on him, and ultimately both of them agreed by last year that the Shield was a better overall way to debut Ambrose anyway, since the Foley feud would only have lasted a couple of months.
The whole "talking about Foley's family" deal was just the public reason given at the time. It was a medical issue.
