That dirt sheet report indicates the Reigns/Rollins feud is going to be for the belt. Brock-GAF, it's time to accept what's going to happen on Sunday.
Brock is going to lose after Underbrayker costs him the match. He'll feud with him.
and just like the other 2 you mentioned he just injures people.
and just like them, i go do something else when he is on my tv
For those, like me, who lapsed as WWE fans in the 00s, (me: from ~2003 to ~2011), what were some of the things that you found entirely ridiculous or stupid or unthinkably dumb when you'd catch 5 minutes of a show that one time flipping through channels?
Some that stand out:
- Rapper Cena
- Bradshaw becoming JBL, Republican oil tycoon guy, and being a champion
- Booker T being considered important
- Carlito, like everything about this doofus, particularly the apple shit
- The male cheerleaders
- CM Punk as a "straight edge" good guy in the new ECW

Eeeh. I'm watching that stuff right now and don't know if I agree. Bret has great matches with Diesel, Hakushi, JPL. Diesel has good matches with HBK and Bret (and a surprisingly good match against Bam Bam when he turns face on RAW) and then a bunch of stinkers with the likes of Sid and Mabel.
HBK has a pretty down year overall. He has one good match with Diesel and one really good match with Double J.
I started to say 1994, then I remembered Bret/Owen happening a bunch and went "whoa..."
bold were awesome

Good shit. It's strange putting voices to you guys, since I normally just view other posters as NPC's instead of actual people.
I took 2002 to 2008 completely off and saw RAW through that exact prism.
Flipping through hearing about JBL being commentator and then champion was a hoot.

Geez that ending to Raw was stupid lol.
I use to watch RR and WM every year even when I lost interest in watching properly during that era. And yea I remember seriously thinking "Huh?" when I saw Bradshaw was the champ lol, legit surprised that jobber is a main event guy now apparently.

Commercialized metal never really had a good run in the 90s here compared to Europe. Iron Maiden is still largely unknown out here unless you're INTO metal. People may have heard of them, but have never ever heard a song of theirs.

I found the stint where Jeff Hardy was in the main event to be mostly unpleasant
Heel Matt was funny though, just because he went from 0 to complete psychopath

That's a good one.
There's a ton of stuff I completely missed and would have loved to seen live like Eddie is in Hell, LoD versus Kane/RVD, May 19th.
+1
WM30 is easily one of the best
Agreed with these. I'd throw WWECW in there as a whole

Heidenreich/Animal LOD?
JBL and Booker being champions of some kind and Carlito's whole apple bullshit are my two most memorable instances where I thought "hahaha wow glad I don't watch this anymore".
The apple thing sticks out the most. I couldn't believe that there was a wrestler who looked like crap and whose character was spit apple chunks at people.
And here I am.

late 00s ails begin and end with the sudden main event pushes of duds like Khali and Koslov. I guess they felt they could replicate the lucky strike they had with Umaga (who despite his ring work I wasn't a fan of either).
They were lucky they had jeff hardy around back then.
WWE was a black hole between the Benoit tragedy and the nexus debut with very few bright spots (HBK/Jericho and the Taker matches at mania).

NOBODY could get the dogshit beaten out of him like Smackdown champion era JBL
I liked King Booker and GAWD JBL. But GAWD JBL was just hard for me to stomach since in my mind he never stopped being Blackjack Bradshaw.
I wonder if somebody had to tell Vince that JBL was the heel...
I actually started fading out around 95/96, then when I heard Bret Hart was going to WCW that pretty much killed whatever enthusiasm I had left. The random stuff I caught while channel surfing from 97-00 was dumb as hell, lots of morons at my high school had DX shirts and I just found it really trashy and obnoxious.
One night I was over at a buddy's house, this must have been around 1999, we were pretty lit and channel surfing and came across some rap/rock music video with wrestlers and some dude screaming "ARE YOU TALKIN' TO ME?!?!" We couldn't tell if it was a joke for the longest time, was laughing for about 5 minutes straight at how terrible it was.
Later in the aughts, the only real exposure I had was seeing John Cena and thinking "This is their main guy now? He's so lame!"

That report also notes that those plans were in place before Brock re-signed, and that they were likely to change now that he has.

You're the realest person, homie. I know that Germany doesn't have the Network still and I gave you my Network login for last year, so feel free to use it if you haven't been.
Unless you are using a VPN or whatever
It's been a trip watching RAW from the start.I've seen maybe 3 of these during Summer Break or Winter Vacation or whatever but I remember some of the feuds from watching Superstars or ASW or whatever on Saturday mornings.
It's crazy how much better a lot of the story lines were back then. The feuds were usually logical. The wrestling was ten times worse most of the time though. Vince is great, god damn it, despite almost never calling the action in the ring.

New Japan watchers: do you think there is any chance at all of Kota Ibushi defeating AJ Styles for the IWGP Championship? I'm leaning towards "No" since AJ just won it from Tanahashi, but they could also be setting Ibushi up for a monumental win over a gaijin wrestler. Or maybe they'll hold off on crowning him until a major event like Wrestle Kingdom...2017.
Speaking of Wrestle Kingdom, who do you see main eventing that show in January 2016? Will we see the conclusion to the Okada redemption story at that time? Will AJ hold the belt until WK10 and then be taken down by Okada, who will have earned the respect of Tanahashi by defeating AJ on the biggest stage New Japan has?

Evolve show looks pretty nice. Might check it out.
I highly doubt Ibushi wins the IWGP belt anytime soon. Eventually, but not now. And I think Okada needs to be the one to take it from AJ, but I don't know that it'll be at the Dome. I thought they might go that way this year, but they went back to Okada and Tanahashi. The only problem is that it would require Okada winning the G1 AGAIN.

THEY WHAT?!?!
Bullet Club now actively trolling the WWE/WCW with their newest shirt.
There's no Young Bucks who WWE was obviously directly going after, so they'll be fine.
