The masses love when a big man can move. Remember when Sportscenter used to show highlights, a big fat lineman scooping up a fumble and running for a touchdown always made the top 10

consistently amazed still by how fast Owens moves. the workrate and cardio for a man that large you'd think would be bad but it's better than most guys he faces. some guys just know how to move with it, so does Hero, more power literally to you

Yeah, Dave has the WM card as:
Goldberg vs Lesnar
Reigns vs Undertaker
Jericho vs Owens
Orton vs Wyatt
HHH vs Rollins
Show vs Shaq
Charlotte vs Nia vs Bayley vs Sasha

With Cena/Joe and Shane/AJ as possible

Professor Funk posted:

This seems like the absolute worst direction they could go.

It's a wrestlemania wherein neither Cena nor Reigns have the title. Orton/Wyatt and Jericho/Owens are both potentially cool matches to main event WM. aside from wasting AJ Styles this is a better way to go than Roman Reigns Wins Again. I'd absolutely love Joe versus Cena, poo poo would be brutal.

It could be better but nowhere near the level of dogshit we got last year and successfully completes a few storylines in the process, while also creating a new one with Cena v. Joe.

I don't think this will happen, though.

Oh, God. I like Randy Wyatt, but that'd be a really bad Mania setup.

if it leads to Bray Wyatt winning and then actually winning title matches against Cena, AJ, and Ambrose, it'd be worth the price

He IS a fat loser, and the downside of him having a belt is that you'll have to hear his lovely promos more often. Bray Wyatt makes me actively embarrassed whenever I see him on screen.

i'd rather hear a bray wyatt promo than have to hear cena use his angry black guy voice in a promo about how disrespectful the new era millenials like 37 yr old AJ Styles are

Bray aint dead. The royal rumble where Triple H turned into him and the crowd popped for the face off was the first legit reaction to that in years. Never forget when they did that spit with Cena and Orton to zero reaction.

that was a cool as gently caress moment. if only they put him on Raw he could "ruin" the show by loving with steph and haitch. it'd be the only thing to make them bearable onscreen.

wyatt family needs to be less like a generic stable of idiotmen and more like the NWO if you're going to be a cult leader why wouldn't you constantly be loving poo poo up with your army.

IMO introducing Sanity as its own thing instead of another wyatt subsector of bearded crazies was a huge mistake. creating a stable of like 6 or 7 legit terrifying nutcases would have been great.

It would be sweet if after Goldberg beats KO the title, Jericho beats Goldberg for the title with the help of Lesnar.

This is not nearly as dumb as having two guys that wrestle 3 times a year get the main event spot of WM.

not only would that be sweet but jericho having one last run at the expense of goldberg would be some funny-rear end poetic justice

Dean spent years destroying his body in CZW garbage brawls, I bet he's just happy to get WWE money for PG-sanitized versions of his wrestling style.

Wrestle The Miz at half-speed every week for guaranteed downside, or take light tubes to the balls for beer money at best? Seems like an easy choice to me.

I'm inclined to agree with this, Ambrose won the loving lottery going from the shitheap of CZW and paying his dues there to becoming an incredibly relevant character in the WWE. Granted he probably wanted to do more stuff like with the Brock match but I can't see him wanting to punish himself further. He should, however, bring a trash can of foreign objects with him constantly

Bray pinned John Cena and AJ Styles clean in the past couple of months. He has all the momentum behind him as champion, and he's actually been booked strongly up to this point. If they wanted a good, young main event heel to keep Smackdown going, it would be an incredibly good idea to have Bray retain against Randy at Wrestlemania.

just thinking about the two matches he annihilated the two hottest guys in the company is gonna be hilarious in hindsight when they squander it for Orton probably winning. I can't think of a stronger stretch in recent memory other than maybe Bryan beating the 3 top guys in one night for the belt.
I wish they just made the Sanity guys into more Wyatt henchmen but oh well

AJ Styles and Luke Harper legit fighting for no.1 Contender was the highest Harper's stock ever was and for a short while, I could dream of him main eventing Mania versus Bray Wyatt.

This of course went to poo poo when Orton was injected back in and beat Wyatt in like 5 minutes after a moronic, bad match. Similar to how Harper was booked, Wyatt went from beating Cena/Styles clean multiple times to eating poo poo immediately. poo poo like that was part of the reason I stopped watching altogether.

So Nakamura has to be winning the Rumble, right? Because if they put Roman over in that situation, he may actually get garbage thrown at him. (Though if the Philly crowd really wants to get Vince/Steph/Hunter's goat, they should chant for Omega or Naito)

man what the hell are the plans for Aleister Black? Seems like the title was taken off him way too quickly and now he's the middleman to the Gargano/Ciampa feud.

Who is the top guy in WWE? Roman is wasting time in the midcard with his Shane McMahon feud. Daniel Bryan is a tag champ with Erik Rowan as his partner. AJ is injured. Cena is pretty much retired. Kofi despite winning the WWE Championship hasn't really been given a chance to be a top guy.

so many guys could be groomed to become superstars but they're stuck in NXT/UK/205. Pete Dunne is 25 and could be a loving superstar. Velveteen Dream and Mustafa Ali are incredible young guys with so much promise. It's insane to think all 3 probably will never come close to their full potential in WWE but at least when they have more experience they could hopefully leave.

WWE waited so long on Ciampa that not only did they gently caress up a sureshot blood feud but he ended up loving himself up to the point where he'll likely never wrestle again. He was dynamite in NXT but the fact that he was kept in NXT for way too loving long was a titanic mistake. In another life he should have been in the spot Baron Corbin is as the eternal antagonist.
