Lloyd Boner posted:

Okada beat Tanahashi for the title. gently caress that.

Flameingblack posted:

Tanahashi is still the champion of my heart

Why Okada though? I mean seriously, why him? He was a super jobber in TNA. It's like they thought "This really worked for Akira Tozawa's popularity!" and in their minds, TNA had created someone as charasmatic and awesome as Tozawa. It just simply didn't happen though.



I REALLY DON'T GET THIS AT ALL

HulkaMatt posted:

I think its a really weird move. The guy had less than 10 matches in his 2 year stint in TNA.

Adam and Mike brought up that it might happen but I didn't think they'd actually go through with it.

Ditch posted:

And Tozawa didn't even get the title after being well-received upon returning to Japan. Oh and NJ's champion is more important to the company than DG's.

indeed.

Flameingblack posted:

Hell, Tanahashi might be the most important man in the whole company, and he got beat by a jobber in TNA.

NotQuiteQuentin posted:

Could Tozawa not winning also be reflected on how poorly Ryo Saito was over as Dream Gate champ? It seems like they are giving him a slow but steady build. First the minor tourney, tag straps, leading group. Next seems to be King of Gate.

And Okada looks to have his V1 against Naito. Looks like if things are going poorly he can drop it to him.

DirtyDirtySheets posted:

Okada winning was too silly not to happen.I haven't asked anyone in Japan if people actually give a poo poo about Okada but thankfully, they probably have no details on what he was actually doing in TNA.

Lloyd Boner posted:

Still not sold on Okada but the match was ace.

Flameingblack posted:

Of course, he was wrestling Tanahashi. This makes even less sense than Yoshi Tatsu getting released and going to Japan, and winning the Heavyweight Title.

Banjo posted:

If Daniel Bryan becomes WWE Champion I will never post again

flashy_mcflash posted:

Not a bad opinion or anything but I came across this while looking for something else and found it funny.

On who should replace Jack Swagger as Zeb Colter's new charge when Swags got caught with dank nugs:

Lid posted:

Orton is less a lock than I consider because he's erratic. He's essentially a main eventing Teddy Hart and survives on that they need him. He may clean up his act with maturity, but he has serious problems right now.

Lashley on the other hand is only lacking in that he's huge but not a monster because of his promo's. Lesnar could do promo's very well, and for a long time had Heyman as his mouth piece while Batista has charisma out the ying yang. Lashley sounds nothing like a real monster and doesn't have significant mix skills.

Cena will still be main eventing as Vince wants to build the entire company around him seeing him as the hailer of the next golden age of wrestling as Stone Cold and The Rock were to the attitude era. Unfortunately he has forgotten that Stone Cold was always better as the anti-authority figure hunting the world title.

Shelton Benjamin is a possibility for a main eventer but he needs two things: new wrestling gear and better promo skills. He has ability higher than the rest of the roster but is perpetually stuck as king of the midcard. He could do well with a Chris Benoit-esque overhaul when it becomes "he doesn't need to say a word, he's simply better than you".

Ken Doane will be maineventing a wrestlemania in a few years, I can guarantee that. Although stuck as being the "leader" of the spirit squad he has great mic skills, great charisma, can easily get heel heat and is a great worker.

Paul Burchill will one day get an intercontinental title reign, but beyond that is questionable.

CM Punk is going to be the foil to John Cena's "I am a trooper and people's champion and the chain gang is in full effect." It will be arrogance, egotism, sarcasm and wrestling ability to combat it. Also I want to see him give Cena a reverse frankensteiner through a table like he did to Chris Hero during their TLC match.

Chief Rebel Angel posted:

CM Punk is awesome and everything, but I'm starting to believe more and more the theory that the WWE only picked him up so that TNA wouldn't get him, and have no plans to use him on national TV without repackaging him as something Vince can call his own in order to turn him into a true WWE property.

I really really really hope that's not true.

HPL posted:

As far as future stars goes, everyone at WWE seems to be pretty high on Harry Smith, so I would expect that he'd get a fair bit of a push when it comes time for him to shine. Too bad they won't be pairing him up with TJ Wilson again because that would be an awesome combination.

Spikeguy posted:

My picks for future main eventers are Bobby Lashley, Carlito, and Kennedy.

My possibles are Shelton and Masters.

And my long shot: Finley.

MrManson posted:

CM Punk, Kenny Doane, Carlito & Lashley. All of these guys, to some extent, have the tools to main event for years to come. My money's going on Doane though, as WWE seem real high on him, he's talented as hell, has good charisma and doesn't have a trademarked logo on his arm.

oatgan posted:

i think his lungs are currently breathing their final breath

Daryl Surat posted:

Chris Benoit vs Shawn Michaels vs Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship-- I predict this match is going to play last. Michaels has a torn ACL, and while he did work Wrestlemania with what was essentially a broken back, that was over half a decade ago. He's older, more banged-up, and quite frankly I don't think he has any business even being in this match period. That said, I want this to be the best match on the show even though the buildup for it is such that I'm actually not excited at all about the match going in.

I want Benoit to win and I want him to win by way of forcing HHH to submit via the Crossface or by way of pinning HHH. If there's any other finish to this match, I'm not going to be happy. In fact, this match is going to be the determining factor for whether or not I liked the show. So yeah, I predict Benoit will win here, then go into Edmonton as champion and beat Michaels in a singles match. "Michaels pins HHH, then Benoit pins Michaels at Backlash so that HHH can say he was never beaten by Benoit before regaining the title" is my ultra-pessimistic smark prediction that actually has a high probability of happening.

47 posted:

That said, I really, really, really, really don't see Triple H jobbing to anyone at Wrestlemania 20 - not even his bumchum Shawn. I'll be overcome with surprise if he does, and that'll last until he wins the title back next month.

Dell_Zincht posted:

Triple H would never lay down to the loving grim reaper so dont expect him to be the one to job here.

Who will probably win: HHH sadly. They might be saving Benoit's win for the hometown crowd.

Well it's nice to view this stuff with the benefit of hindsight. I don't think anybody should try and look back on it as the opinions being necessarily silly or stupid, or trying to be vindictive or do something idiotic like "call out" a poster on prior opinions. The quotes are very much products of their time and in many cases enormously justified even if they turned out to be completely wrong. It's just fun to look back on things where we now know how things DID work out, and how people initially thought they might go.

as a postscript to the Shield thing, I'm still kind of amazed at how consistently the Shield was booked right up to their breakup. All three of those guys are stars now when they just as easily could've ended up like basically every other NXT callup (bad). The one time we all felt most secure saying 'yeah, this'll be screwed up fast' was the one time it wasn't screwed up fast.
