OT: The WWE Thread

[Stannis]

Anyone know or remember what were the original WM plans for Bryan?

Punk was scheduled to go up against HHH, but then he left so it got scrapped and they added Bryan. And Orton vs Batista was originally a one on one matchup but no one expected Batista to get booed so heavily, so that matchup had to be turned into a triple threat to add Bryan.

So it makes me wonder, if Punk never left and Batista instead was heavily cheered, where would that have left Bryan?

An "YOU'RE FIIIIRRREED" match organized by Steph. Probably against the Shield or some crap. Big Show + DB Vs. The Shield.

Punk Vs. HHH
Batista Vs. Orton

DB + Big Show Vs. Shield

or maybe DB Vs. Shawn Michaels

I'm not gonna hold my breath for Punk. I hope so dearly, but I dont know if it's gonna happen. If he does it definitely wont be for the main event. I'd see the 30-man or something.

The original plan was to keep Daniel Bryan a Wyatt.

Then switched to inserting him in a 3way with Randy Orton & Batista regardless of Batista's reaction.
Triple H was/is gonna try to help Batista either way become champion/face of WWE. Batista was going to turn heel eventually (probably at WM30) anyway. The fans just sped up the process.

Memphis crowd was pretty weak tbh. It was pretty quiet.

Daniel Brian does have some serious mic skills though. It should be a good Wrestlemania. Great call by the writers. Batista in the main event as a 1v1 was going to be terrible.

Hulk promoted WWE.com pretty well. Lucky bastard probably got paid a million to do so. Cena got more cheers than Hulk lol. Anyway, he is lame. I've been sick of his asskissing for a while now.

It also seems like the WWE Women could use more help. I remember back when I used to watch WWE/F a lot more, you had so many (off the top of my head, Trish, Stacy K, Torrie, Victoria, Lita). Now whenever I watch, they have the same "Divas" match (Bella twins Vs. AJ Lee and some other diva. I guess nobody cares because they can't do bikini matches anymore, lol.

Also, bring CM Punk back.

They definitely need to dedicate some time towards the Divas, with Raw being 3 hours these days.
AJ is good & Naomi is good, because she's dedicated on getting better unlike most current Divas. Alicia Fox is also good & underrated. Layla needs to return, if for anything, at least to just show her beautiful self.
Wouldn't mind seeing KellyKelly sexy self & Melina splitting exotic self either.
They just need better writers who I dedicated to everything. The whole show. Not just pieces.

They have a lot of talented female wrestlers in NXT.
Paige, Emma, Charlotte (Ric Flair daughter) & Sasha Bankz (Snoop Dogg's cousin).
All can wrestle nicely.

Would love to see the return of the Bra & Panties match.

Yea, this is probably the reason why Divas are not what they used to be and why they don't get any attention.

Be cool if we could get PPVs that were PG-13+ or some ****.

Banking on Rusev winning that Andre Battle Royal

[3eePointGoal]

Random thought, Whatever happened to Evan Bourne? He was a feisty lil bastard, a nice high flyer... Some wrestlers just dissappear out of the blue.. oh well at least we have the Brooklyn brawler, oh wait..

I'm thinking he'll show up after WM. At this time, RAW is solely used for building up the storylines for the WM card. So there's really no point in bringing back Bourne unless he's booked for a Mania match or the 30 man battle royal at WM

This goes for all the other guys that have no storylines going to Mania and those who will be left off of the 30 man battle royal

On another note, looks like we're not going to have RVD or Y2J returning anytime soon for Mania. Sucks. I wanna see Y2J's entrance at a milestone WM

TNA main young stars are WWE leftovers.

MVP
Bobby Lashley
Mr. Kennedy
Bubba Ray
Kurt Angel (who's returning to WWE soon)
Jeff Hardy

Man I hope Angle returns. The potential feuds for him are so

Angle-Bryan (Dream match)
Angle-Cesaro
Angle-Rollins

Of course that is if he's cleared to wrestle

definitely would luv to see y2j at wm. .. he's one of my favorite wrestlers, funny ass hell, he's top mic skills for sure. His entrance is always awesome.

The original idea that i heard a while back was for Daniel Bryan to go against Sheamus lol im so glad that they changed their minds even if it was forced by cm punk leaving and the crowd booing Batista lol That match would have been a joke and a slap in the face to Daniel Bryan!

im still thinking that WWE is hoping that CM punk comes back so that they can put him into either the title match or the HHH match. Id rather him come back to fight for the title but i feel that it isnt fair to DB anymore and that they should just make CM punk face HHH... which would still be an epic match.

Damn how old Is angle now?

56

wtf no hes not

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Angle

45

Lmao 45 is still old

[wolfv]

45 isn't that old in the wrestling business. Especially if you keep in good shape. R-Truth is 42 btw. I thought he was much younger

[BeagleBoss]

Don't be surprised if Batista walks out of WM with the belts. : /

If it's in his contract he will.

[tugs]

would love to see Batista walk out with the belts and threaten to jump ship ala Punk. I don't see anyone giving a horse **** if he does.

Ziggler is 35. I was shocked when I heard that. Less surprised about Truth because I remember when he was K-Kwick or something back in the day.

But yeah, it's all about shape/conditioning and how often you actually wrestle. Taker is up there but he's only around for one or two matches a year now and delivers every time. Though he is one of the few guys that can do that.

I was wondering..... what the he'll is wrong with kofi Kingstons chest? Every time I watch him wrestle I can't help but be weirded out by it... ughhhh. . Also I'm wondering who will be the big names in the 30 man Andre the giant battle royal... I hope sting makes his debut there, comes down the zip line blacked out w his juggalo face paint n takes everyone out . Woooo

Hell nah. Thats an absolute waste of a moment to debut Sting in a filler Battle Royal.

If Sting debuts at 'Mania, I envision it being after the Taker-Lesnar match. Taker starts to do his celebration, pyro goes off, light go out and in comes Sting to stare down Taker.

That would be awesome lol but i think he will return at the raw after wrestlemania. Every raw after wrestlemania has someone either debut or make a return so im thinking thats when sting will come.

I have always wondered the same about Kofi's chest. It's real weird.

[NY Knicka]

If next week I have to watch one more Christian vs Sheamus match, I might break my TV. They are two of the most boring wrestlers in the WWE right now.
