Brock/Roman/(Seth) at WM31 was one of the best matches in recent memory in my opinion. I've gone back and re-watched it at least 5 times.

If done right, should be no reason why it couldn't deliver again. Brock and Roman are two of the best in the world.

I think it's far too late for Roman. He will never be the top guy. Vince has just pushed way too hard. If he would've done the obvious thing to do it would have been possible but he's just too damn stubborn

Spoiler:
A lot of times people talk about how there’s no long-term planning but the WrestleMania 34 main event for April 8, 2017, which obviously could change, is set for Lesnar vs. Reigns for the Universal title.

That doesn’t necessarily mean Reigns is beating Undertaker or that Lesnar will have a full one year run as champion, although both could happen. I have no idea of what the finish will be of Undertaker vs. Reigns. The goal is very much to make Reigns the next Cena, which was the plan for Santa Clara two years ago, until they decided to delay it based on fan reaction.

The plan is to once again build for a year and have the big coronation at WrestleMania. The idea between now and then is for Reigns to be the face, not just when he wins the title, but to fully replace John Cena as the lead babyface of the company.


We could potentially be looking at:

WM31 - Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar
WM32 - Roman Reigns vs. Triple H
WM33 - Roman Reigns vs. The Undertaker
WM34 - Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar
WM35 - Roman Reigns vs. The Rock
WM36 - Roman Reigns vs. John Cena


Spoiler:
If he isn't over as a face now, and they haven't gotten him over after the biggest push in company history, how on earth do they plan to actually do this without something drastically different.

If Vince thinks this will work he needs to go into a home or something, even he cannot be this stubborn, i mean even casuals don't like the guy, you know if casuals aren't buying it then their really is no hope.

Sad part is that it's much more entertaining than an average episode of Raw. :lol:

Just goes to show that they should actually let these guys write their own material, because a lot of the wrestlers obviously have comedic timing and fun ideas that are wasted when they have to read Vince's terrible scripts.

My co-worker almost broke his iPad tossing it on my desk. Of course after checking if it was okay, he scrolled through the pictures (and very explicit videos). I was on the phone, but once you see those photos, you can't unsee it.

Little disappointed by this. I thought they were going to be full episodes with Matt Classic style matches.

What they gave us was hilarious though. Jim Cornette no doubt thought it was the best wrestling promotion of the year.

There's not much I can say that's family friendly about Paige, so I'll just say that she's made a fan out of me today.

Maddox needs to do some explaining about him filming Xavier, and Xavier needs to learn about protection.

Not really. Clearly he's just into filming sex.

I've done weirder. Just saying.

southpaw, even as a mockumentary, is better than raw by a mile. I want this to be an actual promotion :lol:

(Cornette is going to murder someone though for this).

I'd love for them to release actual episodes from Southpaw, complete with actual matches and ridiculous angles. It wouldn't have to be every week or anything. At the very least, it could give guys like Fandango and Breeze and the Ascension something fun and legitimate to do with their time. It's not like they're being utilized on Raw or Smackdown.

Exactly! I was hoping for some hilarious storylines that continues from week to week. I guess it's probably a silly thing to ask John Cena to do every week.

If there were ever any doubts about Paige's career being over before, it is now.

Also feel bad for Big E and Kofi. They're probably worrying about what they're gonna say for hosting Mania now they gotta worry about this when they weren't even involved.

Thing is, they absolutely can't fire Paige for this. That'd be a lawsuit she'd win easily. If she had leaked the videos herself, or opted to pose nude or do porn, then yes, they could justifiably fire her. However, she was hacked, and thus did nothing wrong here.

And I mean, they did just re-hire Mickie James, someone who has actually done porn.

Then they'll just not put her back on TV and let her contract expire.

I doubt most WWE fans know Mickie did porn. Paige was hacked in the era of social media where everyone sees it in a matter of minutes.

This is what Paige is gonna be remembered for.

I don't know what is colder.

JTG throwing shade and tweeting Rock about what he has to do to get casted as Xavier Woods in the film about Paige's life or Sid saying this happened all the time in some oh so sunny days before camera phones.

Apparently it was leaked that the same guy who leaked the Paige stuff has a video of Big E threesome, Victoria, Summer Rae, MAryse, and a lesbian sex video of divas in a hotel he plans to leak ... Who the **** did they piss off?
