I kind of like that whatever happens, Bray Wyatt is Bryan's Kryptonite. I'm sure it isn't even remotely intentional on the writing staff's part, but dude always manages to beat Bryan even when no one else can.

if i was going to not be cynical about it i would assume that last year he was set up as the next title challenger for Bryan but those plans got delayed because of the injury and they are going back to the well this year

why dont the authority just fire Team Cena again

oatgan
Jan 15, 2009

It's more that the authority is unchanging and nothing they do or that is done to them actually matters a couple weeks. They've been around for about a year and a half and they haven't progressed a step. Get MORE evil or something I don't even care just do something new.

What if they were to merge with Bray Wyatt and make some kind of satanic Authority Family, blending the evil of corporate america with that of the macabre?

Nah, would never work.

i'm not even big on bray wyatt but rehashing the corporate ministry is it least a step in any direction and something they've toyed with a couple times in the past

and i agree that it wouldn't work because The Corporate Ministry was sooooooooooooo bad with some top tier Russo segments

This is literally the most far-fetched, dumbest fantasy booking I've ever seen.

Also I don't think the Brock thing was unintentional at all. Did anyone notice Brock stole the mic from Paul in the beginning and ran down Rollins while saying nothing about Cena? As insane as it sounds I'm wondering if they meant to turn Brock face. :psyduck:

They are turning Brock face so that Paul Heyman can turn on him

Does anyone think that Vince actually has a plan for Mania right now? Outside of maybe a whiteboard that says

-Make Reigns look strong
-Destroy or discredit Full Sail through magic or trickery

Say what you will about Raw each week but Wrestlemania is the one thing they have a plan for 6 months out

I really hope Heyman doesn't turn on Brock. It makes no sense AT ALL.

"Why yes, I'll stab Brock Lesnar - the guy who ended the streak, the Undisputed Heavyweight champion, the former UFC champion, the guy who murdered WWE poster child John Cena - in the back to manage Seth Rollins - the guy with the Money in the Bank briefcase who can't win a match to save his life. I'm also mentally handicapped."

He betrayed a young and unstoppable Brock Lesnar to manage Big Show and The A Train once

I think it's pretty obvious at this point that Vince/Dunn give zero shits about the actual wrestling aspect of sports entertainment, and simply want charisma and someone that can capture the audiences attention. Ascension had zero.

most people in general prefer pure charisma over technical aptitude in all walks of life so I'm not sure why we're singling out Vince for building his product around it when as a promoter that's the only thing that's ever made him money

also the ascension possesed neither so

Naomi is freakishly athletic and has good looking offense but she still looks lost in longer matches, imo. She might get better at those if they didn't just make her wrestle Cameron.

This is Jerusalem's from the gifs thread, the Raw before Wrestlemania 30 I think:




If Cesaro doesn't catch him, that is a paralyzed Matador. The Raw after Wrestlemania has a gif of Batista not catching an Uso at all.

if cesaro was actually closer to the ring in proper position to catch that dive it wouldn't look as bad

The Rumble has a ton of stalling and generic brawls. MITB and Elimination Chamber matches have blown it away for years.

the rumble is usually 15 minutes of high with an hour of smoke and mirrors so while i agree that MITB and EC are usually ten times the match it is still a fun and unique thing that you can't find anywhere else and only happens once a year as to not wear out its welcome
