*Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

[Manee]

To be cashed in later in the night... It's like we've been here before...

Look I don't know what they will do but Bryan Vs Lesnar for the title that Bryan never lost is too perfect to never do.

Well, I just can't see the WWE realising their ****up and correcting it before Wrestlemania two years in a row. I mean, Bryan vs Lesnar is a dream match but the way they've set it up, it seems they're moving on. I don't have any idea what they're going to do wit them either. Lesnar will face Reigns, Cena is set for a feud with Rusev, Orton will probably come back to face Rollins at WM, it basically leaves Bryan with no real big heels to face. This is absolutely the worst thing about the WWE right now... the four guys who are most over with the fans(Bryan, Ambrose, Ziggler, Wyatt) have no proper storyline at the moment.

Setting up a face v face Bryan vs Ziggler match at mania could be great, maybe.

 

[OverratedSanity]

You know what!? Maybe that is the answer. Daniel Bryan Vs Seth Rollins for the briefcase! For the opportunity to be champion!

Nah. That's a lose-lose. If Rollins wins, it leaves Bryan once again with nothing to do. If Bryan wins, it takes away Rollins' cash-in opportunity. That cash-in is my most anticipated moment right now... I don't want the WWE to **** that up.

Ambrose heel turn is meant to be imminent. So Bryan vs him would be a logical option.

Wyatt vs Undertaker is meant to be on the cards also.

oooh, would like Ambrose vs Bryan. But don't know about Wyatt-Undertaker. There's word Taker may be done for good.

 

[Manee]

Undertaker has to challenge Lesnar when he returns. That is the ultimate grudge match.

Wrestling Observer spoke about how the rumble underlined how thin the WWE roster was but I think it is rather a case of how poorly the midcard and undercard are built up with their rubbish gimmicks and 50/50 booking and that most of the top midcard level talent is on NXT.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah when the 4 biggest stars in the roster get basically ****all time in the Rumble, its going to look like the roster is thin.

And no NXT cameo sucked ass. Was hoping for a Neville appearance.

 

[sledger]

Does anyone else find it amusing when the commentators exclaim about how "physical" a match is?

I get the point they're making ,but wrestling by definition is a physically intensive activity, so it always strikes me as a dumb thing to say.

 

[sledger]

Also, apparently the plans for Bryan for WM are to have him face...Sheamus. Great.

It's the match Bryan was supposed to have last year before the crowd **** all over wwe's plans. De ja vu.

 

[sledger]

I really want to like Sheamus, but I find him extremely boring, whether face or heel.

 

[Manee]

Sheamus humiliated Bryan at Wrestlemania and it was Bryan that got the cheers and the credit afterwards whereas Sheamus lost public support - there is a great storyline in this.

 

[sledger]

Yeah, but they kind of did that storyline in the numerous rematches that came in the episodes of SD and PPVs that immediately followed. Nothing against Sheamus, but I doubt anyone is enthused at the prospect of this being done again.

 

[GIMH]

Seriously I count no chickens at this point as to what will be on the card at mania

Were you all this sick about the prospect of HHH V Big Show in 2000, after No Way Out?

Don't get me wrong like. I think chances are Bryan won't be in the title match, but for me this is the one time of year where TV is pretty much guaranteed to be interesting. See what happens. Could be an ace up their sleeve.

Or a flop mania. Hmmmm

I'm going to try to watch as many shows in full as possible without spoilers on the road to Wrestlemania. It is hard to get invested when you skip through a 3 hour show in 10 minutes in the morning before work.

 

[OverratedSanity]

For all the stuff wwe get wrong I think the way they've portrayed Lesnar is absolutely perfect. Contrary to what people think, he's not a heel... Not really. He doesn't use underhanded tactics. Heyman barely ever interferes. He wrestles clean matches. And even though he has two of the top guys throwing everything at him, he still beats both of them on his own.

He's not a heel or a face. He's being shown as a level above. Just a tornado of destruction. He isn't evil, it's just that anything in his way gets destroyed. Love it.

 

[sledger]

To be fair to the WWE, a lot of what they have done over the last half a decade and beyond has been really excellent imo. It's just frustrating that when they make gaffes (as they appear to have done here) they really really make them.

Shamelessly ripped off from elsewhere:

Rebook the Rumble

Guidelines

Roman Reigns has to win the match.
Roman Reigns has to not get booed out of the building.
The other participants in the match have to not look like (to use one of cSs's favorite words) slapdicks.
Try to make your plan for the match as specific as possible, rather than just general ideas like "keep the young talent looking strong," or "put Reigns in the match earlier".

 

[Goughy]

I will keep the same 30 and try and involve the Rock as he was there.

1&2 Wyatt and Harper - nothing happens
3 Bryan
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Curtis Axel, Titus O'Neil, The Boogeyman, Sin Cara, Zack Ryder, Fandango, Tyson Kidd, Adam Rose - each appear every 90 seconds quickly being systematically eliminated in order by Wyatt and Harper leaving Bryan on his own most of the time in a 2-on-1 for over 15 mins. Bryan gets brutally beatdown but gets his spots against both men. D. Bryan eliminates Wyatt and Harper after a titanic underdog struggle just before the 12th entrant countdown.

Exhausted Bryan in a corner as Rusev's music hits.

1 min of back an forth before Rusev eliminates a clearly damaged and injured Bryan. Bryan is booked strong and as an underdog hero. Rusev stands center of a cleared ring.

Basically the Rumble now resets

Start to fill the ring and a few mins with no eliminations

13.R-Truth
14. Miz
15. Bubba Ray
16. Mizdow
17. Stardust

Mizdow and Miz square off. Mizdow eliminates Miz after Miz has eliminated R-Truth - obvious but the E likes the obvious.

18. Ziggler - nothing planned but some random eliminations and Ziggler being Ziggler and selling everything
19. Goldust
20. Kofi Kingston
21. Jack Swagger

REFILLING THE RING. General Rumble ****erage and the traditional Kofi spot

22. Big E
23 Ryback

Big E and Ryback tear into each other like it is 2013. Both are gassed and a double elimination with something powerful - see the above for the obvious

24 Reigns
25 Big Show
26 Kane

Kane and Big Show destroy Gold and Stardust

27 Dean Ambrose

Bubba Ray, Kofi, Swagger and Mizdow eliminated by this point

In the ring - Rusev. Ambrose, Big Show, Ziggler, Kane and Reigns

Reigns and Ambrose work together to eliminate Rusev while Big Show and Kane beat up Ziggler who has his usual dramatic escapes

28 Bad News Barrett

Ambrose eliminates Kane on his own

29 Cesaro

Barrett and Cesaro duel. Barrett eliminates Cesaro.

Ambrose and Ziggler work against Big Show

30 DDP - Does the yoga work?

Big pop. Diamond cutter on Barrett. Barrett then eliminated by Reigns. DDP destroyed by Big Show

Final 4
Ambrose, Ziggler, Big Show and Reigns

All 3 attack Reigns. Reigns gets hurt and is out of it as Ambrose, Ziggler and Big Show go at it. Big Show eliminates Ambrose and Ziggler as Reigns recovers. The two men square up to each other in the ring.

Reigns goes over lifting Big Show and tossing him, out of the ring - none of this distraction bull****. Big Show is irrelevant so having Reigns go over on him doesnt hurt anyone but he is still a legit giant booked strong by eliminating Ambrose and Ziggler.

The Rock comes out and hugs Reigns - The End

There, the best I can do off the top of my head while trying to stick loosely to the E's original narrative.

Admire your effort but you failed and the task is impossible because without a time machine
