Russellmania

if we get a few decent KENTA vs. Tyson Kidd or KENTA vs. Sami Zayn matches then I'm all for it.

sad that despite his signing we might never get KENTA vs. Punk or Bryan in WWE, but I can't be the only one who *really* wants to see a KENTA vs. Sheamus match, right?

haha that is definitely some surreal shit also... "PS. Misawa will be killed by a backdrop and Benoit will murder his family."

http://instagram.com/p/qTpelzAFIt/ looks like a KENTA announcement is imminent

yeah the Orton DDT is the only "signature spot" that bothers me because it should be used as like a 3rd tier finisher or something and not just a throwaway nearfall. I mean on the scale of nastiest moves in WWE, that Orton DDT should be in the upper echelon as it looks way more brutal than 99% of WWE moves but in practice it is considered less damaging than a Cena fireman's carry slam.

I think you mean they *always* drop the ball in this regard

this seems like really faulty logic. What's better, a gate where you sold 10,000 of 20,000 seats (50%) or one where you sold 4,000 of 5,000 seats (%80)? I guess my point is that it's a bad premise to assume that you need to "compensate for smaller venues". In most cases there's a reason they're running smaller venues in the first place.

also if they expect Reigns to one day carry the whole business like Cena does then they really need to rethink what that means. If they try and turn him into a smiling babyface who does make a wish for fun then he will lose everything that people like about him right now and this whole push will backfire. Cena has lasted this long primarily because he has been allowed to be himself so I hope they give Reigns the same freedom.

Ambrose is way more over than Reigns right now, what show are you watching?

i dunno, maybe he think that by undermining HHH, Vince will feel less comfortable letting him take over and remain in charge for longer than he would otherwise.

you seriously have the worst opinions about everything

yeah i mean it's not like the shit booking of her on the main roster was the problem

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo what kind of world do we live in where a pro wrestling company fires someone over a misdemeanor?

didn't someone earlier say the plan was for Reigns/Orton at SummerSlam and then HHH/Reigns at NoC? That would be a big selling point. The interesting thing is this...everyone is assuming Brock wins the title at Summerslam...well then does that mean he's defending at NoC? I mean that's the whole gimmick of the PPV, so they better have Brock booked for that show if he's going to be champ by then.

biggest issue I have with the end of the first ladder match is that it seems like a wasted opportunity. The crowd was so amped for a potential Ambrose win that I think they would have been better served to let him win and have his moment last night and then have the authority screw him out of the briefcase somehow in the coming weeks. The end result would have been the same (Rollins ends up with the contract), but it would have generated more heat on Rollins and Co. while also adding to Ambrose's momentum.

I know his title is executive VP of talent and creative or something, but everyone knows Vince is the one who's really in charge of creative. HHH probably gets control over a few pet projects like The Shield, but you can't put the whole direction of the company on HHH.

this match is fucking terrible lol

lol yeah I'm sure in the year 2014 people aren't tired of Kane at all

sadly dumbfuck Vince will blame the lack of heat on these 4 guys instead of Kane

I think the company thinks the only way to draw heat is to tease and troll their fanbase. I guess it worked with Bryan but yeah it makes for some frustrating viewing experiences twelve months of not giving your fans any significant payoffs and saving them all for one show seems like a shitty business model.

I hate that this company only gives the fans what they want once per year (at WM). Not saying Ambrose should have won, but if he's not going to win then don't book the whole match around the miraculous recovery spot only to piss it away.

great match that was squandered by a shit ending. Ambrose winning with the crowd going apeshit could have been an iconic moment that they could have shown in video packages for years. instead it's just another bullshit Kane moment that nobody gives a shit about.

Man, 2 really good matches so far. That was Paige's best WWE match by far. Sucks that they seem to be setting up something with Cameron because I'd much rather see more Paige/Naomi matches.

OMG BO DALLAS

fuckin A
