Imagine 2017 Sepzhilla telling 2004 Sepzhilla he will be the booker of the best wrasslin company at the moment.
It's not official but I agree there needs to be a lot of consolidating. Hell last year the show even went over by like half an hour.
Nah man, I thought the same the minute I read that they'd be hosts. I'm dreading that. I refuse to watch anything Hogan related. I'll never not be pissed at that him.
I actually would have believed this. Why? Because when I was 14 years old Ric Flair was still fucking wrestling and it felt like he was around for god damn ever even back then
Ergh fuck that. I would have to turn WM off.

17 yr old me thinks Taker will still be wrestling for 30 yr old me.

I don't even think that's the match. I think it's Becky/Mickie/Alexa.
Maybe Naomi is added back if she's healthy. Maybe.

People need to smell what the Walt is cookin
Owens vs Jericho is main event material, the fucking pop Chris had yesterday was insane.
Neville vs Aries will be lit
Damn I had forgotten
I want Gallagher to get a match at WM.

The New Day are collectively dry outspoken and prideful of who they are as people. I really doubt they would do that.
I can't escape the feeling.
More than the obvious "Fuck Hogan forever" stance, it would be such a shame for New Day. They really do have some potential to have more mainstream success, and I think they want it (talking about being the hyenas in "Lion King," Woods always grinding to get more exposure outside of wrestling). But having their first big spotlight at WWE's only event with any mainstream appeal involve them being the company's token negros who forgive the racist would dead that.
Again, I hope I'm just being worried for nothing. I don't want to see the brehs go out like that.
This is true and the main reason I think I'm worried for nothing. I just can't see it happening because of who they are.
But stranger things have happened.
I'm still going with them giving Orton a few reigns throughout the year to get to 16 and then have the belt held up for a winner is 17 time champ match.
Nah. Cena is beating Orton at Slam.
He'll be in the ARMBAR for shenanigans.
On another note...
What does everyone think the main event of Takeover : Orlando will be? I have no clue where they're going unless it's Nakamura vs Roode in a rematch.
if vince makes them do that they better fucking shoot on hogan and go for the rollup 3

I know I am late but when it comes to Benoit, I remember Regal on the tribute show thing being very reserved and sorta like "we should all wait and see what happened" like he felt he knew what happened.
A Last Podcast on the Left dive into the Benoit murder suicide would be prettt interesting.

How many Zachley to Bellys do you have in you?
As for WM...
I wanna see Ambrose/Corbin in a No Holds Barred Street Fight. Maybe this will be the match that Ambrose wanted last year. Corbin's trying to show he's That Dude so he'll be up for anything. The difference here is that the company trusts Ambrose enough to make someone at WM rather than trusting someone else to make him, he's reached that level in their eyes. Ambrose can win here but Corbin prove he's a monster and lose. Corbin will be champ later on in the year, surely. I'd let him win MITB.
I wanna see Jericho/Owens because after all of their screentime, we really haven't seen them go at it seriously. Both amazing wrestlers who can throw down with anyone. Beyond that, you have the US title which will be for grabs. The most important thing though is unlike most feuds on this card, this one's been building for at least 9 months. The "Owens steals Jerichos' scarf" thing happened July last year. Add everything that's happened to them up and you've got a great match with an amazing build.
I wanna see Joe/Balor. Both great wrestlers who we know can go at it and they have history and needless to say they'll probably have their best match at WM. I wanna see Balor, who's returned new and improved from injury, pick up where he left off and show us he's ready for that belt again and what better way than proving he can take down Joe who's the last guy who beat him? It's like the classic anime "ok this guy kicked my ass but lemme show you I can beat him now, I'm stronger" thing. It'll be dope.
I wanna see the Cruiserweight Ladder Match. We're going to get a lot of cruiserweights, a lot of ladders, a lot of flips and a lot of Neville proving he's the best. This might as well be the most amazing match on the show if they're allowed to go out. Let Neville get the win, please, he deserves it but regardless who wins, these boys will SHOW OUT!!!
I wanna see the Andre The Giant Battle Royal because I love a good Battle Royal. I want someone to get a push from it but I fear it'll just be Strowman who's push was just used to push fucking Reigns. He shouldn't have lost but ah well.
I wanna see Orton/Wyatt purely to see who they will let win the match and where it'll lead to. We don't need another long Orton run. Let Orton hold the title and lose it at the next ppv.
I wanna see Styles/Shane purely to see how insane the McMahons are in their own minds by having one actually being able to go toe to toe with AJ Fucking Styles. Styles is going to be wrestling a broom this match. I also wanna see if they'll let Styles win this one and if he does win, he's gonna do the classic "damn Shane is tough he gets my respect but lemme walk out all damaged unlike any other match I've been in" thing they always do.
I wanna see Cena and Nikki/Maryse and Miz PURELY to see if Cena's going to propose at the end like some people have been saying he might.
That's all I wanna see at WM. The other matches will be playing but I'm not really invested in them yet.

Zach, if we didn't main event, we'd steal the show brother.
You never know when some part timer is going to call his shot.

At this point just have the SD women's title match be a battle royal featuring the roster or maybe do some crappy tag match to get everyone on the show.

Last night was the first time I've ever purposely skipped watching a WWE PPV since I started watching around Wrestlemania X.
Between Goldberg winning, Reigns winning clean, and Charlotte getting her streak broken I'm probably just gonna skip Raw altogether.

But what about when Taker shows up and challenges Reigns!

I just remembered how bad HHH Roman was, seems like they get a pass for that terrible match.

Okada vs Tiger Mask W was a really fucking awesome match.
It started out really slow and kind of strangely but then it became stiff as fuck and stomp to the head fuck you

By who?
I don't see anyone giving Reigns/HHH a pass. Let alone when a few weeks earlier Ambrose/HHH put on an amazing match.

I don't see Seth vs HHH being that good, especially with Seth just coming off an injury. Based Ambrose being the only Shield member to have a good match with HHH.

Skipped through the NJPW Anniversary Show, everything I watched was great. Shibata vs Sabre I think I preferred their second Rev Pro match, but still very good, Big Match Taguchi delivered again against Takahashi, and Okada vs Tiger Mask was very enjoyable, not sure why people seemed down on it other than it wasn't everything they had in the tank.
