just have curtis axel claim he never got to enter, have The Authority use it as an excuse to do a do-over shorter rumble with like 20 people to get the shot off of Reigns, and then have someone who's actually over win the 2nd time. it's super loving cheap but there's still ways to get roman out of that spot and someone else in there

I am convinced this is going to end up as a Lesnar/Bryan/Reigns/Ambrose fatal four way match of some kind. Even if they're going to test the waters with Reigns for the next few weeks, they set up the backup plan tonight with Bryan and Ambrose's promos so when Reigns gets mostly rejected we end up with that. I liked the last group of interviews even if Roman Reign's first promo was goddamn horrible and alienating.

They are basically begging us to please accept Roman Reigns is great and deserves this before all the other people who are better and you like more who connect with the audience otherwise he's going to cry and that's not cool man, he's related to The Rock and you like The Rock. The ending with Roman, Heyman, and Brock was OK but holy poo poo why did they have him do that first promo. EDIT: By the way, before I say anything was the thing with Roman having an earpiece end up being true? Big Coffin Hunter fucked around with this message at 08:40 on Jan 27, 2015 |

sportsgenius86 posted:hmmmmm why does that sound so familiar? ah yes, i remember the end of the summerslam 2013 match, where bryan won by debuting his new finisher, the running knee smash into the other guys elbow. Oh wait, it was actually to the face and the arm didn't play into that match after the first few minutes.

sportsgenius86 posted:lol they did everything humanly possible to make sure the entire audience knew Cena was well under 100% leading into that match. They could not have more clearly painted the picture that this was not the best Cena in the ring. Even if the finish didn't involve the arm, they went out of their way to point out the injury at pretty much every possible opportunity. I don't remember the build outside of the bryan/cena promo the raw before the match. But in the match itself they point it out at the beginning of the match and cena does that fake out talking to the doctor, but then that ends up being nothing. Bryan didn't target that arm during the match, I think even when he does the yes lock he put his legs around the healthy arm.

Maxwell Lord posted:It really feels like they should give Bryan some kind of big name match at Mania 31 to appease fans (without putting him in the main event, which honestly would feel a little repetitive and contrived.) However I honestly can't think of someone to put him against. He's fought (and beaten) HHH and John Cena, Lesnar is in the main, I'm going to basically assume Taker is done, it may be too late to wrangle in Rock or Austin, he's fought Bray and Kane and Big Show and pretty much anyone who would be an appropriate challenge. gently caress it have cena lose at fast lane and have bryan beat rusev at mania

West007 posted:I don't get why they had to pair Reigns with the loving Big Show, just retire already. I'd like to see him feud with Cesaro, put on some good matches, get a little over based on his in ring performance or something, ANYTHING that isn't Kane or Big Show. I used to love the Shield but the booking is just making me hate Reigns. They expected the most cynically booked possible "gently caress these guys you enjoy more, you'll cheer Roman reigns even if we need to pay for The Rock goddamnit" Rumble wouldn't get the audience backlash it did. They think putting reigns in with big show is a really good idea. Let that sink in.

achillesforever6 posted:Or don't go to the shows at all Yeah. I didn't cancel my network subscription but royal rumble made me doubt spending +$120 at least on a wrestlemania ticket, despite there being one in my area for the first time in my life. Also if the live crowd keeps on hating him they'll end up doing something. Punk leaving last year gave us triple h vs. Bryan, but batista getting poo poo on so bad led to them adding him to both matches instead of just the one.

UltimoDragonQuest posted:That kills Roman. How? Roman already beat him and is going to win the title later. The crowd is going to be hostile to him no matter what, but if bryan gets a big showcase match at wrestlemania and wins they can at least midigate it to Cena type stuff rather than the current 2014 Batista situation. If bryan doesn't get anything but sheamus or even less than Roman dead in the water. The Landstander posted:...is Bryan/Cena 2 at WM an insane concept? I know we've been rumored Rusev but they're fighting at Fast Lane for some reason anyway. I'm so cynical at this point I think they'll only do Cena/Bryan 2 to get Cena his win back.
