The 2013 Royal Rumble w/ Punk headlining it had one of the highest buyrates in years. Maybe WM29 should have been Punk vs Rock.

Rock brought those folks though

And they magically vanished when Cena came to town.

Punk/Cena
Punk/Rock

Would have been the real money matches.

 

[jmdajr]

Let's see.

Looks like Rock is up to 58.7m followers Instagram followers

Like... wtf.

 

[Kaladin]

I think you will see Punk in WWE again. Sure, that was a nasty break-up, but once Punk gets through his UFC phase, Punk will realize he needs wrestling and WWE is always welcoming to returning money draws.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Imagine if it was Punk, Rock, and Cena squashing the Wyatts at Mania

 

[Bluekaveli]

Hogan/Austin would have been interesting but honestly I think Hogan/Rock was the better match especially for a Toronto crowd that didn't give a shit and was cheering Hogan no matter what.

I always wonder, how that crowd wouldve taken Austin. Toronto is Hogan land anyway.

 

[Kaladin]

Finally watched Countdown with Dolph Ziggler and Kane yesterday. Both were surprisingly solid in their rolls, especially Ziggler.

However, I feel like there was a bit of a bait and switch going on here. You had a trailer with the idea that this movie would be centered around a WWE event. Well that's about 1/3 of the movie. The rest is standard cop drama B movie stuff.

And the kicker is if you've already seen the promo materials, you've already seen all of the WWE interaction.

I give it a C overall.

 

[shanafan]

heh heh heh heh

I think Roman would do pretty well in UFC.

Rock brought those folks though

Rock did it for Rumble '13/Survivor Series '11 and Brock did it for Extreme Rules '12.

The Survivor Series bump was the most in years, like the Rumble, and it had Miz and R-Truth on the opposing side.

The Great One indeed.

Hey now, I watched UFC 200. It was pretty underwhelming. If that is what UFC is, Roman shouldn't have a problem - and maybe even do better. He is pretty strong.

They wouldn't let him wear body armor

 

[Caderfix]

Best use of this GIF so far

 

[Bluekaveli]

I think Roman would do pretty well in UFC.

Would he even be able to make the fight? Him and Jon would be great friends!

 

[jmdajr]

Redoing stuff because of wrong settings...

not one of my favorite things.

UFC's first gimmick match. Juice on a pole match.

 

[jmdajr]

Remember when He wanted to shoot fight Warrior in the Octagon?

 

[Caderfix]

Roman Reigns vs Andrei Arlovski or Uberreem would be entertaining.

The downfall of UFC commences. I could see BROther Russo sitting in the front row, full smiles.

Absolutely and he should go there as soon as possible and never come back.

That's Snannon's shirt.

 

[avengers23]

haven't heard a "this is awesome" chant yet so how bad could they be?

Ooh hah Ronda would you be my girl

Of course, the easy joke is that a UFC crowd wouldn't be smart enough to coordinate a chant.

 

[klonere]

when the booking is trash

Nah they'd probably say singing is for queers.

Of course not

[Angry Grimace]

Roman would probably suck at MMA for the same reason Punk will probably suck: because pro wrestling isn't a translatable skill to MMA the way amateur wrestling is (hence why people didn't say shit when Brock went into MMA).

This guy looks like some douchebag that used to keep getting invited to lan parties I went to back in high school. He was annoying because he'd show up and within 15 minutes he'd take off his shirt and walk around bare chested and flex (like the gif) any time he won because he was under the impression that showing off his biceps made him the alpha male at the party. The reality was everyone just thought he was a douchebag who was compensating for something.

 

[imBask]

fun fact I found about the Just Bleed Guy

Just Bleed Guy’s real name is James Ladner, and he would later do some prison time for an appropriately lunkheaded crime — acting as a fence for stolen farm equipment. Meanwhile, the venue where UFC 15 took place doesn’t even exist anymore; Hurricane Katrina destroyed the Casino Magic Bay St. Louis back in 2005.

That gif is just greato

People did say shit when Brock went in to MMA though. Brock proved everyone wrong.

 

[Jimmy King]

Was Brock Lesnar Guy at UFC 200? If not he is not longer suitable to be called Brock Lesnar Guy.

Brock was a world class wrestler.

The underdog who never lost the title versus the man who defeated The Undertaker

It would have been the Hogan vs Andre of a new generation

There's a reason the Minowaman fights in Japan were so entertaining. Small underdog fighting titans.
