What if they could only manage to get the 4th/5th generation Baywatch cast?

March Wrasslin' |OT| Forecast for Wrestlemania...cloudy with a heavy chance of Reigns
- Thread starter Alucard
- Start date
exactly....
but lmao god forbid WWE would have Sting fight for the legacy of a promotion that made a impact on the wrestling world and gave Vince Mcmahon pure competition.
Hey this is supposed to be WWE Network exclusive! Network value diminished.
I don't care about the cast. Just the writers/directors.

I think the reddit insider is saying everything his adoring wreddit public wants to hear. So, for that reason alone (and the fact that he's a massive attention whore), I'm calling bullshit.

This is the WWE we're talking about. There's no chance in hell that happens. One might. Two is unlikely. All 3 is a pipedream.
If I didn't value my free time I'd go back through MetsFan's posts and see how many of them actually amounted to anything. He seems to "predict" things so far in advance that by the time they happen everyone has forgotten about it and he doesn't end up getting called on his shit.

Adding on to Cybit's post, if it does come down to Lesnar holding the title for longer, I can't help but feeling that WWE want Lesnar to break the record of a certain individual. Hence why they want Brock to keep it. (Yes, I still think that they are petty after the Punk incident)
But why do that when they can let Reigns beat the record?
Lengthy face runs don't work as well as lengthy heel runs.

Wasn't there another guy who correctly predicted a lot of match results? That guy seemed more legit, metsfan is about as accurate as insiders on gaming side.
See: Bruno, Backlund, Hogan, Cena
They can force it if they absolutely want to.
Plus I don't see Reigns staying face between now and WrestleMania Star

I was just thinking of a booking idea.
What if Brock retained through to Wrestlemania 32, with no challengers to his title seeming to be able to beat him. Then the Undertaker comes out during a promo where Heyman and Brock are gloating towards Wrestlemania that he doesn't have an opponent. The Undertaker could win, kind of redeeming his streak somewhat and maybe do a fancy pyro trick where he just disappears and leaves the belt in the ring after that, vacating the title.
You could do it like the Undertaker came back to beat the beast and free the title, and then he could retire for real. The only issue is if Undertaker is up to a match with Brock a year from now.
Could be a good way to go. Fun to think about. It would be a suitably epic ending for both stories.

b-b-b-b-but wrestling code says you have to lose your last match
Comparing a modern book to when people thought wrestling was real?
And do you really think Roman Reigns is ready for the schedule John Cena works?

You could reasonably do the following matchups and have justifications
Lesnar vs Orton (Orton never got 1 on 1 rematch from WM 30)
Lesnar vs Bryan (Bryan never got 1 on 1 rematch from being stripped)
Lesnar vs Rollins (MitB)
Lesnar vs HHH (HHH starts freaking out over losing his title)
Lesnar vs Batista (never got one on one match after RR)
Lesnar vs Rock (never got rematch after WM 29, could plant the seeds by having Brock WRECK Reigns and "injure" him, even adding a fun "Lesnar vs the Usos in a handicap match if need be)
Lesnar vs NXT Champion (Kevin Owens?) - If NXT really ends up becoming a separate brand, this is a possibility.
With the exception of HHH, those are all kind of new and fun matchups. Brock vs Taker in a "retirement vs title" match could be fun - especially if they do a several month long tournament for the title afterward.
If someone was popular enough and there were enough credible challengers, a face could easily go over a year with the title. The problem is a bit of both.
And Reigns isn't ready for anything. Dude is a family man. There's no way he'll last as the next Cena.

I dunno why the dreamcast version of FPW seemed better then FPW Returns.

All the 2K sports games were great, even World Series Baseball.
I regretfully sold my Skies of Arcadia a few years ago... should have kept it.
Why is Charlie featured more prominently than Cammy on the cover of a video game called "Cannon Spike"?This was fun
The more matches he goes undefeated, the more possibilities. Hopefully Vince keeps it going.

Why was Cannon Spike IMPOSSIBLE to find anywhere? It was my greatest letdown of the DC era that i never owned Cannon Spike or Power Stone 2.

Yeah sure all of those guys are championship contenders, although at this moment only Orton and Rollins are close to the main event, and you could go with any one of them. I guess I just meant nobody else is in the fray for the championship right now. A month ago Bryan was but they threw him to the IC title so he should stay there for a while and build back up if he ever does.
Putting Orton against Lesnar would probably make for a good match, but he's a face right now and I'd like to see him continue to get good reactions for as long as he can. Going up against Lesnar would possibly dampen a lot of that, since the fans like Lesnar when he shows up. Rollins would need to be built up a little first since he's been mega cowardly lately.

I don't know about World Series 2k1...that game was atrocious. You couldn't hit a ball if you prayed to the VMU..
You've just sold me on wanting Brock to win at Mania. There are a lot of potential good Brock matches left to happen. Vs Orton could actually be pretty interesting. Bryan is obvious. Rollins proved he can go with Brock. Hell I'd even like to see Ziggler vs Brock.
Rusev beating Cena is better for everything.

I think we could do with some Kevin Nash facts right about now
Leads to the obvious question: aside from John Cena, who is ready for that schedule or willing to take the schedule on?
WWE lucked into someone with that sort of maniacal work ethic and total lack of a life outside of their job. I don't think they can replicate a John Cena run again because there's too many factors unique to Cena they won't find elsewhere.

You couldn't even move your outfielders in that game lol. I just loved the pitch movement and speeds, more accurate than most baseball games from that era.
John Cena being a freak and a workaholic is probably why WWE hasn't adopted some kind of offseason policy for its talent. Vince just looks at Cena and goes "WELL HE CAN DO IT WHY CANT YOU MILLENIALS, DAMNIT" and goes with that.

ideally they would not run things with the "one guy on top that the show revolves around" mentality
Cena just told Michael Cole he might call it quits if he can't beat Rusev.
I don't post here very often... but the Dreamcast calls to me!
My top 5:
1. Power Stone 2
2. Chu Chu Rocket
3. Jet Grind Radio
4. Shenmue
5. Space Channel 5
Too many honorable mentions: Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Giga Wing, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Sonic Adventure(s), Mr. Driller, Phantasy Star Online, Grandia II, Cannon Spike, Virtual-On, Last Blade 2, Project Justice, Samba De Amigo, Seaman, Skies of Arcadia, Soul Calibur, Typing of the Dead, Heavy Metal: Geomatrix, and perhaps the greatest stupidest game of all time: Dynamite Cop.
In other news, got some (too) sweet NJPW shirts from ProWrestlingTees in the mail today.

I'd actually really love to see a lesnar vs. motivated orton match. Could be intense.
Obviously he's winning, but if he loses he just said "might" and not will. They could easily go with another "worst year of Cena's career" type storyline.
"I DON'T SLEEP. I EVEN GO TO WORK SICK DAMN IT!"
It's both a blessing and a curse. Vince wouldn't be rich if he wasn't fucking crazy but god damn it be a nightmare having that boss.
Vince will never stop working, even if he was paralyzed or dying of some disease he'd have the head set on his death bed.

Anyway, anyone selling a Pillars of Eternity key?
The game was out of my radar and damn, looks like the closest we are getting to a BG2 sequel.

Oddly enough, I think a really good situation would be for Rusev to beat Cena at WM 31, and Reigns to lose. Reigns then goes after the US title and Rusev at SSlam, while Cena goes after the IC title and faces Bryan.
I think WWE messed up by not signing Lesnar earlier - I think their backup plan was always to have Rusev / Reigns be the other option (why else have Rusev be the last person in the RR, and Rock interact with Rusev in Brooklyn?). If they knew Lesnar was sticking around at the RR; you could have gone Bryan or Rock vs Lesnar (depending how confident they were in Bryan's health), and Rusev vs Reigns for the US Title.
