They made it a big point to clarify that whoever won the rumbles could pick either champion so it would only make sense for one of them to cross brands and we already know Nakamura isn't going to. Also, this is WWE and Charlotte is basically Lady Roman so there's no doubt in my mind that match would be happening so Charlotte could be the one to end the massive win streak at Wrestlemania.

I don't think Charlotte will end the streak (assuming the match actually happens). That honor is probably reserved for Ronda a year or so from now. They aren't going to have the first women's royal rumble winner lose at Wrestlemania, nor does Charlotte actually need the accolade.

They could always be building to unify the titles. The split disproportionately hits the women given their smaller pool.

just a endless abyss of hideous new championships, infinitely unifying then being torn asunder into new, even more hideous titles

remember when they put over alexa for being the first person to hold both the raw and smackdown women's championships, which are of course a combined 12 days old. what a prestigious achievement

Here's the thing that always stuck in my head about Charlotte/Rousey, it'd be pretty uncharacteristic of WWE to put their big name mainstream signing on the B-show. Also I'm gonna go ahead and agree they need to unify these titles or something because while last night was fun it badly exposed how undercooked the women's division is. If the Rumble is gonna be a yearly thing they need to start investing in their women's divisions in a meaningful way. Stop giving them two segments a week, stop the infinite multimans and start actually building a real division with real depth in it cause you can't have nine nostalgia entries (or whatever it was) again next year.

they should hire the 2000s women who can still go, almost all of them looked really good though admittedly it's a battle royale

VJeff posted:Here's the thing that always stuck in my head about Charlotte/Rousey, it'd be pretty uncharacteristic of WWE to put their big name mainstream signing on the B-show. Charlotte/Rousey is likely because of the media buzz it could create. "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey vs Charlotte Flair. You wouldn't get that mainstream buzz with Ronda/MYSTERY PARTNER vs Stephanie/Triple H. As for moving Asuka to Smackdown to face Charlotte, it doesn't make much sense. Asuka would be an unstoppable juggernaut, and the only person with any credibility in the Smackdown Women's Division right now is Charlotte. Becky has been booked like a massive geek for the longest time, and no one else is even remotely close to being credible due to everyone falling to Road Dogg's "Wins and losses don't matter" booking habits. I think its possible we end up not getting Asuka vs Alexa at Wrestlemania, as its possible the title could change hands at Elimination Chamber to someone like Sasha (who can easily turn heel in the meantime/runup to Wrestlemania). They can have Alexa feud with Nia or something at Mania, and it doesn't need the title to be interesting. Its also pretty well known at this point that Charlotte wants Ronda at Wrestlemania. She's said as much, and is campaigning for it on social media. I'm pretty certain Dave pulled the Ronda/Mystery Partner vs Stephanie/Triple H thing out of his rear end because of their confrontation a few years ago. That's like eight billion years in WWE time. Rovert pretty much said the only way the tag match will happen is if The Rock is permitted to wrestle, and that's not likely. DarkstarIV fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Jan 29, 2018 |

rovert posted:The Sanity thing wasn't really relevant/proven yet so I didn't include it. I think you have scoops, but I also think you say tons of poo poo all the time and then only bring it up again if it turns out true or at least close to true, but you harp on other 'scoops' people whenever they get one thing wrong. If you held yourself to your own standards of "this person is now irrelevant" you'd never post again. I'm pretty sure that's how everyone that gets annoyed with you feels. Seems pretty obvious in this case that everyone can be right. Rock + Rousey is probably the dream, but when Rock inevitably tells Vince to suck it, they can fall back to Rousey/Charlotte or something

And consistently so for a number of years. Meltzer's accuracy rate has dipped really bad. Had a terrible Rumble.

Be honest with me though, if Ronda didn't show, would you have quoted the "In my opinion Ronda won't be there" post and "Yay"ed that one instead? Because if it was me I totally would have.

And that wouldn't have stopped you from bragging about the first two if Rousey hadn't shown up or Tamina had missed the Rumble. Pyro was basically 100% right, your gimmick is post a bunch of stuff, brag about the ones you got right, downplay/ignore the ones you don't.

Again Tamina thing wasn't my scoop just something I noticed watching TV. If things were less hectic I would have posted it in the WWE thread. The Rousey thing was so crazy and secretive I wouldn't really in all honesty. But from the start, I always thought the optics of her being in the Rumble was silly and not advertising her even sillier. I haven't downplayed or ignored anything I don't understand that narrative after all these years. The rare times I am wrong I hold my hands up completely. I have no gimmick. rovert fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Jan 30, 2018 |

Well if we're just throwing poo poo on the wall and seeing what sticks let me be the first to report Braun is winning the Elimination Chamber and facing Brock at Mania. Please don't quote this when it is wildly wrong, quoting this is for me to do if it comes true. Also thanks for not telling me where to place that losing prop bet.
