Watching jericho's DVD. Some great extras too... especially the bit where he once went on a tirade against an old man at ringside after Smackdown went off the air. So good

Edit: lololol he snatched a sign that said "Jericho is god" and punched a hole through it

Any chance Sting goes over? After watching that RAW I just can't see it. Also when was the last time someone as over as Cena is now held the US Title?

 

[sledger]

Is Sting/HHH actually a match now? Last time I checked it was being billed as a "confrontation". In any event - I imagine the heels will come out looking strong, since Sting has pretty much owned them in all of his appearances so far.

Not sure re: US title... Jericho held the IC title a few times after his WHC runs when he was last with the company full-time, which is kind of similar I suppose.

 

[duffer]

Not officially match yet but where else could they take it?

Also will burn effigies if Reigns loses his Title Shot. It smells like panic booking after Rumble.

 

[sledger]

Oh right yeah, well at WM it's bound to be a match. I thought you were just talking about the upcoming ppv.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Was Cesaro US Champion when he was mega over last year? Ambrose was hot with the crowds too.

3 way the best thing to do imo.

3 way the best thing to do imo.

Not sure I agree. Would look like a "Sorry, but we don't think you're over enough to carry the main event on your own" booking to me.

What's the stipulation regarding MITB? Assuming there's going to be another one at Mania where does that leave Rollins? No chance Lesnar is dropping the strap before then and it'd be a huge waste if Seth isn't being put over. What to do?

Maybe. But I've been loving the Reigns/Bryan dynamic they've been doing these last 2 weeks... love their chemistry together. Would make for an interesting main event with the two of them teaming up to wear Brock down and all.

Gotta admit though, the main reason I'm hoping for a 3 way is because I'm completely unconvinced Reigns can pull off a match worthy of the main event, and Bryan vs Lesnar would cheapen the Royal Rumble. Triple threat a good compromise imo.

MITB has its own PPV these days.

Ah I see. After Mania? I'm becoming a Rollins mark, need to see him with the strep.

Yeah, these are particularly salient points actually.

The MITB ppv is 2-3 months after Mania I think. It's a good change because it's made it a real possibility of cash-ins being made at Mania. I was never convinced anyone would cash in MITB on the same night when it was at mania coz it'd leave them with no one with a briefcase for the whole year.

On Rollins, yeah... love him to bits... easily my favourite current wrestler.

Why Roman Reigns is the Nicolas Cage of Pro Wrestling

That was quite good. What are his other memorable ones?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Found his video on Bruiser Brody's death pretty illuminating as I hadn't read up on it too much. Made me look at last year's hall of fame induction completely differently and realised why Daniel Bryan wore those weird boots for Wrestlemania. Was a silent tribute to Brody and a bit of a protest, I think, against Carlos Colon's induction.

 

[GIMH]

Miz was super over as US Champ in 2010. But realistically the last time anyone close to Cena's level held a midcard title is ancient history.

Samoa Joe has left TNA. Would love to see him at NXT
