CM Punk & Wrestling's Best Storyline in Years...

[battlecatmeowstab212]

I think I've personally seen enough of Owens-Ziggler and their eight televised matches since last November. It's nearing Dolph-Kofi or Sheamus-Del Rio levels for me.

Mania card now looks like

Triple H - Reigns
Shane - Undertaker
Dean - Brock

But do they call an audible again and put the belt on Dean, making the no DQ match with Brock the title match?

I'd honestly say the Triple H-Reigns feud doesn't need the title, and Brock-Dean is the title match you can put on the marque. Taker-Shane's storyline implications make it too big to not go on last anyway.

[battlecatmeowstab212]

BTW - Episode 6 of "Fuller House" is wrestling themed. It's not good.

[Pizon]

lol at the main event of WM being Undertaker vs. Shane McMahon. There's no way that happens.

Taker-Cena, maybe.

Hayabusa dead at 47. Both his career and his life were cut tragically short. He never stopped fighting, though- even wound up walking into the ring (relatively) unassisted at a show late last year. An incredible performer, and one of the guys that shaped my taste in wrestling.

[Brougham33]

Damn, RIP to the legend. Crazy I just watched that video of him walking recently.

[battlecatmeowstab212]

RIP, devastating news.

He was amazing in WCW VS the World for the Playstation. I wasn't too familiar with Japanese wrestling at the time (Summer '97) outside the competitors who performed in American promotions. My young mind had to try each character, even though I thought the ones I hadn't heard of had to be fictional. I instantly fell in love with using Hayabusa. Given that this was the first truly 3D wrestling game from a major licensed property in North America, the things Hayabusa was doing couldn't have possibly been in any other game and made this new foray feel extra special and set the bar for what moves characters could do in this new medium.

Imagine my shock a few short months later when I found out the wrestler performing these moves was not only REAL, but was able to do them IN REAL LIFE?!?!?!?!

Hayabusa was such a gateway drug to Puro. RIP, and also shout-outs to him for his brief appearance in the direct-to-video cult classic Backyard Dogs which every fan should watch at least once.

Wow, looks like Owens-Zayn for Mania is a definite go.

[Brougham33]

Really? It's not going to be a multi-man match?

[blastmaster]

Neville in the mix?

[battlecatmeowstab212]

Multi-man would surprise me, it seems Neville is more the Owens-feud leading up to Zayn so that they don't actually touch until Mania.

[blastmaster]

I hope they go one on one. 8 man or whatever for the US title would make sense.

[Brougham33]

Cysed to watch this Zayn vs Joe 2 out of 3 match tonight.

Here's something fun someone on the F.A.N. Boards dug up, the original NXT Roster page from when it launched as a separate developmental brand:

(can someone please reformat this so that it's within the pixel size for the board?)

Jesus, I had no clue Jason Jordan had been there so long. When was this, like 2011-12?

[battlecatmeowstab212]

So, do y'all think Roadblock will change anything come Mania, or are we set in stone for Triple H-Reigns for the belt?

Roughly then, right at the launch of NXT as a separate brand instead of the never-ending "Redemption" final season game show-turned-soap opera.

Can you find Dolph Ziggler's real life brother?

Ambrose is sooooo over right now, they have to consider switching it up right?

Can't wait for Rollins to come back tbh.

[battlecatmeowstab212]

Also, quick poll, who here does/doesn't have the network and why?

[Dudeman]

I have the network

for free PPV's and random Raws/Nitros on tv when theres nothing else on

[tehgiftofgab]

I have it for same reason as above, also nxt and the occasional original programming like stone cold podcast

[zappy]

used to, but they never got chromecast support and so i dropped it.

got tired of watching everything on a 9 inch tablet when i have a 93 inch projector.

Roadblock worth watching or nah?

Roadblock worth watching or nah?

I liked it, but I probably wouldn't have gone out of my way to watch it if I was busy. Wyatt/Brock turned into Harper/Brock for some reason, but it was still enjoyable. Pretty good Zayn/Stardust match, and Ambrose/HHH was pretty great.

I loved Charlotte-Natalya, best Charlotte match since her main roster move.

Great seeing Enzo and Cass on that large of a stage too, hopefully a glimpse of what we'll get of them on the main roster.

[blastmaster]

Ezno/Cass vs Revival was outstanding. HHH and Ambrose tore it down. Again, so confused by what they are doing with Wyatt. I wonder if his "deal with the devil" line was just cryptic blabbering or if it will lead to an angle with Shane/Vince at WM. Such a waste if they don't start using him in some way.

Shane baby punching Baldertaker is really something to see. Genuinely excited for the match.

How again does Reigns come off looking like a babyface if he beats the shit out of the guy who beat maybe the two most over babyfaces clean in back to back nights?

for Neville, really shitty timing.



With Neville out, will they give us Zayn vs Owens 1 on 1?????
