Finally getting around to watching the best of Jim Breaks set I purchased a while back, I really like his submission, the imaginatively titled 'Jim Breaks Special';
That'd be a good submission for someone like Mark Henry to have.
Too quick and subtle for WWE.
wait
cena vs. bray at mania?
how the fuck is that even an idea being thrown around? who on god's green earth wants to see that? at mania?
that would make no sense. it's way to early for him, and honestly, bray hasn't impressed me at all since his debut. even fucking roman reigns would be more deserving of that spot.
who is telling meltzer this shit lol

Here's what happens: D.Bry teams up with the Wyatt family. Whatever Bella D.Bry is with is like "omg [other bella] something is wrong with D.Bry!"... then they go to Cena and Cena's like "YO D.BRY I'MMA SAVE YOU FROM THE WYATT FAMILY!"
Basically Pwinsider said this:
Also, Alvarez said that an idea of Bryan, Cena and Hogan vs the Wyatt family at WrestleMania. So right now its up in the air with all these moving parts.
LOL jesus christ I can't believe I didn't make that connection.
now that makes sense. while bryan and rowan team and face los matadores on the youtube pre-show.
ok thank god.
I think the Mania card is finally coming into shape, but there's still a lot of questions:
-HHH/Punk is happening, and it should be great.
-Orton/Batista seems like it's definitely going to happen, but I think that match can get over without the title being involved. Is it necessary for Batista to win the Rumble and for Orton to retain all the way until April? I think we'd start hearing "boring" chants for that program. Free up the title from that program, let someone else win the Rumble. But who gets the title then? And who wins the Rumble? It's tough.
-I still think Brock/Taker is happening, despite Raw this past week and Brock's apparent desire for the belt. Taker will interrupt his "chase", and that match is absolutely happening. Who else is there? They don't pull the trigger on Cena/Taker this year, do they?
-Speaking of Cena, where do you go with this guy? That Wyatt shit is ridiculous. Bryan/Cena for the title (Cena beats Orton at Rumble, Bryan wins Rumble) makes so much fucking sense, but we all know that is not happening, so where do you go with Cena at Mania when there is no Rock around?
-Shield will be broken up by Mania, right? Are all three guys on the card? Maybe keep Ambrose/Rollins as a team to face Goldust/Cody (which they CAN'T break up at this point to do the Cody/Goldust Mania match)? US/Intercontinental unification match (which adds some important to an otherwise forgettable matchup) Ambrose/Big E? What do you do with Reigns? As I mentioned before, giving Wyatt to Cena makes little sense, but if they're really behind this guy, maybe do Reigns/Cena? If they refuse to do Cena/Bryan, I don't see what a good alternative is for Cena, plus it gives their pet project a huge opportunity.
-Daniel Bryan? Youtube pre-show, right?

The info match vs. Kane where he was against Kane, eh?
That was in regards to the expected quality of the match

None of this WM news is getting me excited. Most of those match ups sound terrible.
Just make it a one hour show of Brock vs. __________ with Punk + Booker T on commentary and send everyone else home.

Its no use trying to decipher Wrestlemania right now. Thia time last year we had no idea that the piece of shit Jack Swagger would be in a maine event angle. The E did not learn their lesson.
I'm hoping Orton retains at the Royal Rumble, and Batista wins the Rumble match.
Elimination Chamber, we have Cena vs. Orton vs. CM Punk vs. Bryan vs. Brock Lesnar vs. Mark Henry. Lesnar wins that and becomes champion.
That sets up Batista vs. Lesnar for the title at Wrestlemania.
Separate to that, we then move onto Cena vs. Undertaker as the other main event.
This is the biggest double main event WWE could hope to do, and this kind of chance comes rarely. Plus, it'll be great to see Taker beat Cena at Wrestlemania since that's what'll happen if they ever have a match.
It's Wrestlemania 30, we need some huge matches. There is no other double main event WWE could do that would even compare to that. The only possible bigger match is Shawn Michaels vs. The Rock or The Rock vs. Lesnar and those obviously aren't happening.
The undercard could have Randy Orton vs. Daniel Bryan vs. CM Punk vs. Triple H. Fatal four way elimination because that match could be amazing. Or if on the off chance Shawn Michaels comes out of retirement, then Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels and Randy Orton vs. CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan to determine the next number one contendor. Or we could have HBK vs. Bryan, CM Punk vs. Triple H and send Orton to curtain jerk somewhere. That's fine too.

The Funks (c) vs Giant Baba & Jumbo Tsuruta - 2/3 Falls - (AJPW 10/09/1973)
The Funks are the NWA International Tag Champions and defend their titles here against Giant Baba and his protégé Tsuruta. This is back from when Jumbo was plain old Tomomi Tsuruta and Baba was still remotely agile, while Dory and Terry are in their prime, so unsurprisingly it's pretty great. Watch it.

My guess is Batista wins the rumble and goes up against Brock who is champion at mania. Brock is nothing but a giant jobber. Plus Heyman was really trying to get the "beast" Brock Lesnar over on Monday

I agree with court hair that WWE should stagger all of the stars from yester year .
Stuffing everyone at mania chokes the whole card. Also prevents anyone from making a big splash at mania

I love Jumbo, but no man can match up to Tenryu, probably my favorite of all time.

I'm still under the belief that Cena/Brock would headline WM.
Brock seeking revenge for his loss vs. Cena's title
If you go back through the years, they're tied at 1-1 in pay per view matches.
It would be like their extreme rules build up but more sports orientated with press conferences, weigh ins, and piss interviews.
The buy rate for their match on a B-level ppv could be triple for Mania.
This of course, means that Cena or Brock would have to win the Rumble...but from Brock's promo about being the #1 contender leads me to believe whoever wins the Rumble might lose their shot at EC like Cena did in 08.

Bryan vs Brock at Mania for the title after Brock DOMINATES the Elimination Chamber and wins the title would be something interesting.
Make it a steel cage match, submission only, UNDER ROH PURE TITLE RULES.

This is why it's retarded for WWE to have EC be a title match. With the title unification it should be clear what the Mania title match is right after the Rumble.

was there any reason given why Batista was given a title match immediately after Cena won the title at Elimination Chamber 2010?

EC use to be for the other title shot at Mania. The Rumble winner didn't have to participate. The WWE/WHC title holder would have a 1 on 1 match on the same show.
Example: Cena using his Royal Rumble win to face Orton on the February ppv instead of Wrestlemania.

Is Batista back just up until Wrestlemania or is he going to be back full time?

WWE should scrap the Elimination Chamber and bring back St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
I swear I had a tape when I was a kid that had territory stuff on it. Hogan and Andre doing an arm wrestling contest in the late 70s/early 80s, when Hogan still had the chest hair. I definitely remember a match with King vs at least Hawk where Hawk no sold the piledriver. I have no idea what it was called or where it came from. Might have picked it up at a garage sale or something, but I feel like it was a professional tape.
Bray would be winded after 4 minutes

I'm with you on this - Jumbo has the greater body of work. He was consistently amazing from about '75 to '88 and is a very good case for best wrestler of the 80s, imo. Tenryu was amazing during the late 80's, but I think it's fair to say his match quality suffered initially when he quit All Japan, as he went from wrestling the likes of Jumbo and Taue to wrestling WWF guys in SWS. Sure, matches like Hogan & Tenryu vs The Road Warriors in 1990 drew big, but they were never going to win match of the year like the Jumbo vs Tenryu triple crown match from the previous year. I guess that's why he was such a frequent visitor to New Japan during his running of SWS and then WAR. NJPW is probably where he had the majority of his top matches of the 90's. Honestly, 2000's Tenryu might just be my favourite. Nowhere near as agile as late 80's Tenryu, but just about the best grumpy old shit-kicking bastard in the business.
That doesnt put butts in seats, stop dreaming
Hogan old dusty ass might as well go all out and face Undertaker

Not that I know of, me and the person I was watching that event with dubbed it "Bullshit in the Bank" for this reason, on the other hand it was a fun moment even if Cena won it back a mere month later.

So guys, does anyone here actually keep a tally on how many matches they watch a year, I'd love to see who watches the most by 1/1/15, already doing it on another forum so might as well ask here as well

These WM match-ups sound like they came out of a random select generator, with the Legends unlocked. I'm sure to be on the lookout for those Smackdown 2001 animations
