Isn't Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns coming back at the same?

No. Roman's coming back sometime before year ends. Bryan waited too long, needs another surgery, and he's out until TBA 2015 (he said he hopes he's back for Mania, but obviously with this that's not a sure thing)

LEGITSHOOK.COM PRESENTS


WCW Monday Nitro 11/25/96

• Arn Anderson vs Lex Luger
• DDP vs Disco Inferno
• Tony Pena vs Steven Regal WCW Television Championship
• Konnan vs Eddie Guerrero
• Big Bubber vs Rick Steiner
• Psychosis vs Rey Mysterio Jr
• Alex Wright vs Jeff Jarrett
• Faces of Fear vs Harlem Heat

Kind of a weird show. Everyone was snug as shit. Hogan and Piper weren't there, so they just showed the entire contract signing from WW3. Bischoff kind of maybe sort of I guess explains his actions, but not really. The flood gates for the nWo have been opened.

Listening to one of the Observers this week, apparently Roman still wears the vest because he has a really doughy physique. Think 1997 Rock Boobs, but even worse.

Roman "Body Self Concious" Reigns.

I know that feel. It isn't that bad though. Big guy no cuts.

Big E's career died that day. Vince saw the pics.

I'm sorry Big E.

Fast forwarding this past Monday's Raw. Holy fuck are John Cena promos bland as white bread.

Deleted 8 hours of Smackdown, 4 hours of Main Event, and 6 hours of Raw from my DVR.

Watching Raw to see The Big Guy.

Since nobody gave me any WCW sugestions I'm going to watch the Raw where the "This is your life" segment happened.

 

[Gonzalez]

I keep saying it. This whole herniated intestine thing is just a cover-up for lipo. Vince was never going to take chances by letting his meal ticket wear a bullet proof vest his entire career.

Don't forget Ziggler.

Actually, no. No one believed Ziggler was getting the push after his IC title win.

Now it's too late and I'm watching a HHH promo. I hope you are all happy!

Is there any chance at all that Ryback's physique is actually all natural?

And holy shit at this weakass Ambrose promo before his match against Cesaro. The shitty crowd didn't help.

Lol hell no.

[Alucard]

Lol hell no.

Didn't think so. How that gets past the wellness policy is beyond me.

You mean Sheamus and Ziggler? Yeah, totally.

No.

As long as he entertains and wrecks people, I don't care that much.

Remember when Ryback was going to become the WWE champion? But then Brad Maddox and John Cena had to get involved?

 

[Data West]

Didn't think so. How that gets past the wellness policy is beyond me.

He was Vince's ideal guy for a while. lol if anyone thinks Cena or Randy are natural.

 

[kiguel182]

I love how many promos this old Raws have.

Things have a story, a context and make some sense. No random matches happening just because.

 

[FallingEdge]

Didn't think so. How that gets past the wellness policy is beyond me.

Because they are selective about it. The policy means nothing. I bet you a majority of wrestlers are on some sort of gear. Testosterone, roids, HGH, etc.

 

[Marvel]

Maddox should return at the Rumble and eliminate a hot Ryback because Brad needs the money for being gone so long, lol. Paid for by Heyman, obviously.

 

[Alucard]

The only shitty thing that Ryback needs to change is his pre-finisher phrase. "Finish! It!" sounds so dumb. Any of these would be better:

"It's feeding time!"
"Time! To! Eeeeaaaat!"
"It! Is! Over!"

 

[Data West]

His finisher needs to be the meathook clothesline instead of the Shellshock.

It looks way better.

 

[Marvel]

It's the marching that kills Shellshock for me, don't mind it being the finish... but get rid of that corny shit.

 

[kiguel182]

Maddox should return at the Rumble and eliminate a hot Ryback because Brad needs the money for being gone so long, lol. Paid for by Heyman, obviously.

A Maddox vs Ryback feud would actually be pretty great. They have some story together and it makes sense.

But Ryback as a babyface on that feud wouldn't really work I think. Still, it's a new matchup and it could be cool.

I'd argue these are bad if not worse.

I say spinning sitout powerbomb.

[Alucard]

I say spinning sitout powerbomb.

"Finish it" is weird because it makes no sense. If he's saying it to the fans, is he telling THEM to finish it? Does he have a split personality and is he telling HIMSELF to finish it? As an indication that the match is over, it just doesn't work for me because it's unclear how it's intended.

I don't mind the saying but I just think it would be better if he said nothing. Be better imo.
