In response to a fan on Instagram that suggested that Jeff Hardy was “needed” for Ultimate Deletion, Reby said the following: “Matt has busted his rear end to get to this point. He & I have been fighting for this to happen for nearly a year. After the hard work & $50k+ in legal fees that *WE* paid, I’m gonna have to say NO. He is not “needed”. Jeff is clearly doing his own thing & it has nothing to do with us right now.”

Biker Taker was a gigantic joke of an idea, and if they truly wished for him to end his career with the wettest fart imaginable, then that would be the route to take.

Kid Rock is just the icing on the poo poo cake.

A thought that just popped into my head was that if Shinsuke Snickers Nakamura wins at Wrestlemania it'd be fun to have him only want to put the title on the line against AJ since he's the only one he respects personally, or to put it another way the only one he wants to fight, so you could have about 3-4 PPV matches on the row between them on that basis without having to hotshot the belt around and invoke rematch clauses. Then Sami and Kevin could get pissed at how the main event scene is going and start teaming up against either Shinsuke Snickers Nakamura or AJ trying to straight up take them out like they just did to Shane, and that could lead to a fun fatal fourway for the title and probably Sami or Kevin getting the title there. And out of that mix hopefully we get a Nakamura/Sami feud since they had insane chemistry right off the bat in Nakamura's NXT debut, which granted they got to put on the more fun NXT style match and the crowd was insanely hot, but even half the magic of that match is more than we typically see.

Edit: Also I'd get a kick out of Bikertaker just because I'd enjoy seeing Taker get to do whatever he wants no matter how goofy it is. Let the man who got a supernatural gimmick that never should have worked on paper over go out for his last right using the more grounded gimmick that probably should have worked better than it did. Or to put it another way, if I was a new wrestler I'd much rather be the guy riding a bike to the ring than the guy making fake lightning bolts appear and messing around with an urn.

I'd put his classic theme up as one of the top in-house themes, though it's really just a riff on music that's already public domain (I think?), but yeah bringing Johnny Cash to the entrance music competition is just all kinds of overkill, there's only a few themes ever that can hang with that.

Ministry Taker was the best because it was such a logical next step for Taker at that time. He dressed more and more like a satanic pope so him actually being that was hugely satisfying.

Bikertaker in a Cena feud really makes too much sense. Can you imagine Cena going "DEADman? You're just a MAN! In a COSTUME, jack!" Then Undertaker would gargle piss. He'd have some teeth to respond as Bikertaker.

I'm totally down with a bigger wrestlemania ramp if it means we get Ramp Snake 2.0. It'll be funny if Balor goes Demon after not doing it for the royal rumble or elimination chamber. Clearly the miz is the ultimate thread that drags out his deepest desperation.

Big Evil was Bikertaker's nickname during his 2002 heel run. Another one was Red Devil (his merch at the time had logos I always read as "BIG RED DEVIL EVIL" due to the layout), and JR occasionally called him "Booger Red" for whatever reason.

Ah yeah. "You're Gonna Pay", aka the classic "badasses always kicking assholes' rear end" theme. He didn't get that one until he turned face again, though, he was using the instrumental "Big Evil" theme for the heel run after ditching Rollin'.

I remember back in the day when Randy Savage left for WCW and Vince appeared to be on the verge of tears trying to explain why he was gone. They've always been weird about people "leaving" them, it's just that over the years it's devolved into being downright cult-like.

How dare people leave them after years of mistreatment, where they've directly spoken to management about their demands, which they haven't worked with?

Mel Mudkiper posted:

Probably as soon as the brand became bigger than the talent

There is not a single superstar who is a big enough name to work anywhere other than the WWE and make a dent in WWE's popularity

I really loving hope All In is a success. If that can then go into a long-term popular alternative, that would be so excellent. The trifecta of popular, good, and profitable seems to alude promoters.

It's apparently a old regional thing. Kind of a great example of why WWE thought JR could be too much of an old Oklahoma man.

drat this feud is so long that KO and Sami costing smackdown survivor series was 4 months ago. That's almost the halfway point if this goes past Mania.
