Also another interesting note from the Observer

WWE has made a rule that talent and office people and talent and production people are not allowed to date. They don’t want staff and talent interaction past the professional level.

So talent can date talent, but talent with staff is a no-no.

You guys think any one on the roster can do an ironman match that would be fun to watch?

Ziggler/Bryan

 

[Deadly Joker]

Ziggler and Bryan are probably on there because it's something that WILL burn a lot of time.

Lesnar vs Reigns?
Reigns ain't working more than a 6 minute match
Triple H vs Sting?
Sting ain't working more than a 2 minute match
Undertaker vs Bray?
Undertaker ain't making it to the ring.

But having a 'match for the sake of having a match' sounds like a waste of time, no matter who the talents are. And I don't expect them to have some amazing feud leading up to this.

That's actually a good point. Their two work horses (Rolliins too) going at it. I could see it getting 20 minutes just to appease the crowd. I just don't see how you don't have your top babyface in a big, long match. The crowd would turn on the entire event, especially the main event.

According to the Observer, the Bryan-Ziggler match is being setup from the belief that it will satisfy the fans if they give those two time to work a great match. Dave says the stuff with Ziggler campaigning for the match on Twitter is the start of the build.

Huge writeup from Dave in the new Observer about Bryan and Reigns worth your time looking at if you got a subscription.

No more dating creative team members to get a push.

But I like his voice too. And his lariats.
I like Bray a lot. I wish he had better feud material. I'd have much rather seen Dutty write an Ambrose/Bray feud.

Bray doesn't wear his serial killer butcher apron enough imo. But yes, amazing look all round.

Bray has a great lariat. I also really like when he just sort of throws his entire body at someone. It has really good impact and fits the character really well. Like there's nothing really refined about it. He just runs into you.

Oh, another thing I like about Bray is that when he knows someone is going to duck his lariat he doesn't just lazily stick his arm out. He whips his arm forward and makes it look like if his opponent didn't duck they would have been decapitated.

Bray's quite astonishing to watch live. Gives me a 'It's still real to me, dammit!' moment with how frighteningly realistic and painful his moves seem. It doesn't come across as well on TV. Ah, well. At least he's already good in basically every aspect. I sure hope he gets the chance to refine everythung with experience, rather than WWE ruining it before it gets REALLY good.

The most surprising thing about Bray to me is the surge of support he gets from the WWE. Twice now they've booked him on a credibility fasttrack to fight big names like John Cena and the rumored Undertaker.

more bray is best for business. dean feud was pretty great, want to see him having more singles feuds without the family.

Let's all share some of our favorite lines from Bray Wyatt's classic promos. You guys go first.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Hate would require emotional investment. He's a just bag of wet "meh" to me. Does nothing in the ring or on the mic, set up for long term failure.

If anything, hating Reigns for being put in this position misses the point.

I agree, and what people were booing at the Rumble was the process by which Vince arrives at this point. It wasn't that Roman won necessarily, it's that popular guys got booked like they were nothing and it became clear with half an hour left who was winning.

Roman won, and really, it was either going to be him or Bryan, but then Bryan goes out without a fight, really, Ziggler gets knocked out by Big Show in two minutes, Ambrose gets an unceremonious exit, the match was a nightmare. Nobody was out there surviving and doing cool spots when that match is made for somebody like Ambrose to go out and be awesome for 20 minutes.

Smart on their part, no one will "hijack" the show to get Bryan in the main event if they please them with that. Pretty sad for Bryan, and even Ziggler. It looks like they're going to give Reigns all the rope he needs to hang himself.

 

[RP912]

Only if he does 80 swings to kill time.

Remember when feuds use to play out on television via promos?
Now they play out in Twitter interactions which Cole will read back to us on TV. How exciting!

 

[Alucard]

Interesting. They still can have up to 3 more matches and a preshow match.

Yeah, and they'll need at least one stip match and a tag in there.

This match isn't going to pacify the crowd. They're still going to crap on Reigns.

Good. I wanted Bryan vs Lesnar, but Ziggler is more than I expected honestly. I'm happy about it.

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

Not if DBvsDZ goes 60 minutes.

 

[bean breath]

Nevermind, thought about what a Brock/Bryan match would look like.

FUCK THIS COMPANY.

A lot of Germans and kicking?

[Perspicacity]

Ziggler/Bryan could actually be fun as a face/face match on Mania, put up a title shot at Extreme Rules and for the love of god don't let them actually touch each other until Mania then let them throw bombs for 30-45 mins.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Just get Ziggler the IC title back (Sorry BNB) and have him against Bryan and recreate Nak/Ibushi at WK9.

"A good little spot for them."

 

[UberTag]

This match isn't going to pacify the crowd. They're still going to crap on Reigns.

You know this and I know this but let's just let Triple H and company delude themselves into thinking differently JUST for a little bit.

 

[Fox318]

This match isn't going to pacify the crowd. They're still going to crap on Reigns.

Yup.

There is nothing they can do to get Brock to be the heel for most of the crowd.

 

[Lost Fragment]

lol back to the midcard with ye, Bryan.

Dude is like New Jericho.

 

[slightconfuse]

Lol ziggler /Bryan main event of smackdown tier

 

[Jimmy King]

This match isn't going to pacify the crowd. They're still going to crap on Reigns.

Oh for sure, but they're not going to actively campaign for Bryan if they feel he's taken care of. I think it's very likely Mania ends with the cash in since Reigns isn't going to get the cheery response they hope for.

 

[Alucard]

Oh man. So this. This. This. This.

 

[Fox318]

Any news on when they will add WCW Saturday Night or Thunder?

 

[bean breath]

The Royal Fumble brings us together, friend.

LOL at the end of the day; Bryan just lost fair and square. God damn it.



I'll fucking take it.

Why are you guys fine with Bray Wyatt's well spoken a** throwing out Daniel Bryan but not Kane?

 

[Deadly Joker]

Yup.

There is nothing they can do to get Brock to be the heel for most of the crowd.

What about making the Bryan vs Ziggler match a #1 contender match for the WWE WHC?

 

[Jimmy King]

It really is sad/funny how much that fucks Bryan.

 

[Fox318]

Just get Ziggler the IC title back (Sorry BNB) and have him against Bryan and recreate Nak/Ibushi at WK9.

"A good little spot for them."

An IC run is below Bryan.

He should be the main attraction in the fucking SF market.

 

[Fox318]

So they can be tossed out of the ring like Ziggler to make Reigns look strong?

I hope the fans cheer so loudly for Lesnar and boo the shit outta Reigns.

Great idea. Except that would require them to give a shit about a belt other than the top one. Hell, Rusev-Cena isn't even a title match.

You don't have to hate on Bray just because your number one fave Daniel Bryan is going back to midcard duty, Bean.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Thanks for reminding me that Mania is near my hometown again.

I'm pissed now.

 

[Jimmy King]

Have Bryan win the IC title at Mania against Ziggler. Have him feud with Rusev to unify the belts. Gradually, over the year Bryan will make the IC title seem like the World title while Reigns makes the WWE WHC seem like the WCW Hardcore title.

Spoiler

I'm all for Reigns having WWE WHC run like Norman Smiley did with the WCW Hardcore belt

 

[bean breath]

Just watched the RR, what do you guys think was going through Rocks head at the end there while he held Romans hand up? Also, felt bad for Roman. It's not his fault they decided to ram him down people's throats

I think he felt like, "wow, this city is racist as f***."
