I don't think Bryan is in enough of the main events.
I'm assuming he's in both 30 man matches to make up for the lack of Bryan?

reasons they won't do a tribute graphic:
-they don't like to remind people that wrestling constantly kills the performers

reasons they will:
-perro's death pierced deep enough into the normie world that they think the damage done by the above has maxed out and they may as well mitigate that damage by appearing to be a conscientious company

it's my understanding that perro dying trended on facebook and poo poo so my money is on the latter right now

I saw the news on my Facebook ad bar and I don't follow anything related to wrestling on it, barely ever use and am based in the UK (I don't know if that'd affect it, but you'd imagine it might seeing as it's north american based).

Instead of a tribute, Stephanie coincidentally cut a promo at the opening of the show to Sting talking about bad dogs. Bad dogs, or, perros del mal.

New hot scoop from Mets.

quote:

For what it's worth, Samoa Joe told some of the boys at the Queens, NYC show on Friday night that he is, in fact, bound for WWE in April.

It is believed his final indy show will be for WrestleCentre in Canada on April 9th, where he faces Christopher Daniels in the main event.

It is still yet to be determined where he goes, but it looks more and more like he is definitely going to NXT first, as it's Triple H that has more interest in him than Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn.

He had to throw in the 'Trips has his finger on the pulse' bit at the end there.

h yeah dude, I -DO- Hate Brock Lesnar, I quite fully and completely admit that I don't like him, and would sooner see X-Pac as WWE champion than Lesnar.

He is a big giant meat head, SO WHAT those are a Dime a Dozen in the WWE and they will do this thing called "Showing the gently caress up every PPV" unlike Mr. Part Time Champion, and some of those can actually talk without sounding stupid and don't need Paul "I have had the same gimmick longer than John Cena" Heyman to carry them.

Go ahead and enjoy Brock, you have fun with that. All it does is free up 3 hours a week and 3 hours once a sunday for me.

You'll love this one then

quote:

The thing with Brock is, that minus that bit of extra credibility from being the legit fighting champion that he was, you could take his general booking, and easily apply it to Rusev, Cesaro, Big E, or even NXT guys like Corbin (if they ever let him get a moveset) and Dempsey. They aren't already built up, but its not hard to build a monster heel, especially if you have a mouthpiece to cover the mic end (which many big men seem to be terrible at, for whatever reason)

Gaz-L
Jan 28, 2009
In all fairness, that kind of IS what they did with Rusev, and if they'd had Cesaro go in and destroy guys like Taker and Cena with Heyman crowing about how indestructible he was, I would bet he'd be a lot more over than he is now.

They used Aksana as Cesaro's mouthpiece for a bit even though she speaks dramatically worse English than he does.

While that post is stupid and I'm not equalizing the two at all, I have no doubt that Paul Heyman, given the time and latitude he's been given the last few months, could take Baron Corbin (or any of those dudes) and get him over as a main eventer, in like a month, because he is magic.

Yeah that quote wasn't really that bad when I reread it. The first one I posted though has something even stupider than just hating Brock and its the "don't need Paul "I have had the same gimmick longer than John Cena" Heyman to carry them."

I mean seriously I can maybe understand hating Brock, but why hate that Paul Heyman's character?

Gaz-L
Jan 28, 2009
I think he may not realise that's not a gimmick. That's who Paul is. This is the dude that lied his way into running wrestling shows out of Studio 54 when he was like 21.

Which was what frustrated me so much about Cesaro's time with Heyman. If they'd booked it so Cesaro was actually Heyman's focus and actually booked well, it could have been great. But, instead of elevating him to Lesnar's level, it lowered him to Axel's level.

Paul Heyman should not manage anyone other than Brock unless A) Brock retires, or B) Heyman turns on Brock. In any other situation Heyman being around is just a reminder that whoever he's managing is not Brock.

Yeah this is correct. CM Punk also made being a non-brock Heyman guy work but clearly that's not going to be an issue anymore.
