Steph specifically teased "someone the wwe universe hasn't seen before" during that awful #1 segment, Jericho vaguely teased something similar I think during the highlight reel. It all just stinks of the typical Vince "they spoiled our surprise so now nobody gets it!"

I think that was just her loving with the internet.

Checking back in, we're not going to get the pit bull because their breed is too aggressive to play with other dogs safely. It's really sad, pit bulls are like rottweilers from 10 years ago and need more love. :negative:

Nevertheless our short list now contains a boxer, a beagle/dachshund, a beagle/greyhound mix, and a corgi/chou-chou mix. I'm not sure how that last one even works, you'd think they'd just cancel each other out and leave no dog at all but here we are.


e: seriously beagle/greyhound, lookit dis dog, it's like someone photoshopped a beagle head onto a toy sized dog

It's gonna be Brock vs surprise 30th Punk for the Title at Mania. Punk's gonna eliminate Brock and we'll get our rematch. Vince is mad pushing the panic button man. I feels it. Bryan is a farm so only Punk can save pro wrestling.

EDIT: Maybe Zayn! Or Balor! Or Nakamura...spelled Nakamura right?

There's something about the Louisville area that makes them want to breed everything with beagles. Everything. Beagle/chihuahua, beagle/greyhound, beagle/bulldog, they have no shame. It owns because beagles own, but you end up with some unholy abominations that should not be.

And are adorable because of it :3:

ambrose/owens and usos/new day should be good too. don't have high hopes for kalisto/adr or charlotte/becky though

during the royal rumble draw you could hear one guy just yelling through the crowd RIC FLAIR.

Honestly I never understand dead crowds. Why did you spend money to do nothing? I want crowds that are either super into it, or hate it so much they boo the poo poo out of it...like last year's Rumble.

You're not exactly going to know how good/bad a show is beforehand, and you can't really fake enthusiasm.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that, when they exchanged their dollars for tickets, they expected the product to be a bit better than what they got

Yeah. It wasn't the whole time or anything, but...it was the gohome Raw before their second biggest PPV of the year. And one of the stuff that was dead was a Vince segment.

It wasn't the whole time, but it was still pretty drat significant. The worst reaction you can get in wrestling is nothing, and getting it for either of those is a bad sign

Kalisto and ADR actually had a pretty good match on SD (ADR winning the title right back notwithstanding) and I'm sure Becky can carry Charlotte to a good match

I hope part of why they did this end segment was to see "Is Reigns over enough for Lesnar/Reigns II sometime this year as a face?" because the resounding answer to that is a big fat "no"

IMO it seemed like a way to quickly convey the idea that the lottery was obviously rigged without needing Vince or Steph to outright admit it or have Roman descend from the crowd and check himself. They just delivered it in the poorest way possible.


Like, they probably could've gotten away with just the first two times Vince absentmindedly tosses a ball back in to take another one out and it's a nice way to avoid having him go "Ha ha ha! They're all Roman Reigns, you dummies!"

The Odds are stacked against The Big Dog Roman Reigns

There have never been these many Odds stacked against anyone

Can The Powerhouse Roman Reigns overcome all of these Odds at once??
