    Rumors of a Mark Henry-Chris Jericho match at Wrestlemania are in the air. It could work, I guess. Wild love for the to somehow work a lionsault getting caught into a World's Strongest Slam spot. Don't think Henry can get off he mat and into position quick enough though in order to pull off what I envision.

    Perhaps you have Jericho hit it and on the two count, Henry sits up, still holding Jericho, gets to his feet still holding him and slams him down? Not sure, I just think the spot would look purty.

    Mark Henry did the same thing to Rey Mysterio a couple of years back, to astounding effect, so that could work

    I'd rather have a workrate match of Jericho/Ziggler for example instead. But certainly a Henry/Jericho match would be interesting.

    The June PPV name is being changed from No Way Out (which I never really liked) to "Payback" which is equally as dumb sounding. Just bring back Backlash.

    Probably a good chance The Undertaker is coming back tonight. He was spotted in Buffalo today (where RAW is) and if you have the WWE mobile app, apparently when you click on it the Taker's "cross symbol" is shown.

    Gauntlet match for Taker at WM? I assume 10 wrestlers in the wring, Taker picks Punk

    or gauntlet match, and taker goes 30-0 at WM
    edit: nope, we get a fatal 4 way match which Punk will win. That was pointless, It will prob set up Orton/Show/Sheamus vs Shield as they will prob get involved

    I can get with the Henry-Ryback match. The Silverback vs. Ryback? A hard hitting 10 minute brawl where they can display their power is interesting.

    Must be a bad rib to have to job to The Miz and tap out to one of the worst figure fours ever. Remember when Ziggler won the MiTB match and then beat John Cena at the December PPV? Has he won a match since? Dolph Ziggler is basically the heel version of Zack Ryder, only he's on ever show.

    I think the only reason he lost this match was because flair was their. But yeah makes no sense to have Ziggler keep jobbing, especially after getting Big E. He has been worse off since hes gotten there. Why keep him around

    There is a better chance that Punk beats Taker then there is Cena losing at WM. With that said, Both Cena and Taker will be victorious at WM. I wanted Punk to be in the Rock/Cena match, but if hes going to lose, I rather him lose to Taker then Cena

    Pretty boring RAW last night with none of the matches being very good. The old school feel was fun though.

    Perhaps Ziggler should get drunk, smoke pot and drive, then maybe he'll get a push.

    Nice to see Punk win clean last night with no help. Told my wife last night that I'm going to start doing the Finally thing of the Rock's when I come home at night, She just rolled her eyes at me.

    I was just reading an interview on Bearer/Percy/Moody where he talked about how he would be in the HOF one day and that he just had to be patient. I remember immediately thinking that he better hope he doesn't die first. Whoops.

    Good manager who, obviously managed Undertaker, but technically ended up managing two WWE champions and had a third charge go on to win the strap too. WWE is stupid if they don't push him into the HOF this year.

    I also don't see how Punk DOESN'T use this to make his match with UT have a personal feel.

    So in and out of sleep last night I came up with what I thought would be the perfect tribute to PB. It also caused me to random text someone some of the idea instead of your normal hey how are you, hows life etc...all that was intended btw just went back to sleep sorry lol. So anyways the entrance and ring are surrounded by druids. The ones at the entrance are of course carrying torches . In the middle of the ring is a shrine for Paul Bearer. The bells of the Undertaker toll as he comes out in his original deadman garb with his omish like hat and following him is a druid holding the urn. He gets in the ring and gets the urn from the druid and places it on the shrine . As he backs away from the shrine Kane walks out and goes no further than the top of the stage. Undertaker acknowledges his presents as Kane drops to one knee and reaches out to the urn. Undertaker then drops to his knee and reaches out to the urn as well. The lights turn luminous purple and smoke bellows in to the arena. Just then a lightning bolt strikes down from the heavens and a bunch of candles on the shrine are lit. The flicker from the candles give way to a picture of Paul Bearer on the top of the shrine.

    Good call, Big E. pretty close to how thy handled it.

    I thought the CM Punk touch was well done. Not too far over the too but enough of a prick to make everyone hate him.

    Also, how did The Shield get away with bashing Big Show and no Orton or Sheamus helping out? That's bad storytelling. At least let us know that those two were indisposed on some level by The Shield.

    Speaking of Sheamus, remember when Wade Barrett and him had a kind of minor tiff? That went nowhere. And speaking of Wade Barrett what the heck happened to Bo Dallas? That storyline was dropped pretty quickly huh?

    WWE has so many PPV wrestlers. Taker, HHH, Rock, Lesnar only will wrestle on big PPV, Taker just WM.

    By the way the Ziggler/Bryan match was pretty great. It's stuff like that that makes win/losses meaningless because both guys end up looking great in the end, but man Ziggler definitely needed that rub.

    Almost all singles match with Danial Bryan and someone like Ziggler/Jericho are pretty great. Guy is a great wrestler and should be back in the main even scene soon

    I'm fine with it. Bo Dallas isn't ready for that high level of a feud. However, I also am a fan of having smaller feuds that don't always have to end on PPV. Barrett-Dallas fits that bill. And having an ongoing, long term rivalry with Sheamus and Barrett that isn't always on the surface or forefront is fine. These two were both simply dropped, but the point remains, having your secondary champions take on these types of feuds is perfect.

    Oh I'm fine not having to see Bo Dallas either, let him cut his teeth on Smackdown for awhile. I think the bigger point is that storylines get dropped pretty quickly without any explanation of closure. You just don't have consistency from week to week and I think part of that is because the WWE really isn't sure where they're headed with different WM matches etc.
     
  34. Samphin

    Samphin Κακό σκυλί ψόφο δεν έχει

    It happens. Wrestling is fluid. They tried capitalizing on the positive response Bo Dallas got at the RR for eliminating Barrett. They even canceled the planned IC tournament they had. It didn't work out so you move on.

    I didn't think Sheamus vs. Barrett was ever going to be a thing for WM. I was surprised they teased that, and perhaps they circle back to it.

    In all honesty, I know it has its own PPV now, but this is a perfect spot for MitB. Barrett, Cesaro, Miz, Kofi and other upper midcarders could benefit from it. Plus, it opens up time for the top matches and perhaps frees up the logjam to help flesh out a tag title match, some other grudge match.

    The Rock vs. John Cena WWE Championship

    Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger World Heavyweight Championship

    Undertaker vs. CM Punk

    Brock Lesnar vs. HHH

    Mark Henry vs. Ryback

    The Shield vs. Orton, Sheamus, Big Show

    MitB: The Miz, Cesaro, Wade Barrett, Kofi Kingston, Sin Cara, Tensai, Brodus, and Bo Dallas

    Chris Jericho vs. Dolph Ziggler

    Team Hell No vs. Rhodes Scholars WWE Tag Team Championship

    Divas match


    That's ten matches for 4 hours which equates to 24 minutes per match, on average. Throw in the promos, the Hall of Fame recap they always do and the hype packages they put together and the elaborate entrances for the top matches and you have yourself a fleshed out card.

    I think it has something to do with the fact that during the Show's last run-in with the Shield, he planted a WMD on Sheamus before eating an RKO. So my reasoning is that Enemy Mine does not apply here.

    Speaking of guys needing wins, when was the last time Cesaro won a match? If you're going to treat the US (or IC) champion as a jobber just get rid of the title. Doing more harm than good.
