they're really going to embarrass the Wyatt Family for the fourth Wrestlemania in a row huh wow. Thought they'd want to create a great top heel, but noooooope

MassRafTer posted:Would be hard to do with Bray Wyatt. 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.

I still think they missed a trick by not keeping Randy allied to the Wyatt Family + doing Goldberg/Lesnar/Orton and Wyatt/Harper, but eh. What's done is done.

Not sure about the idea of a Roode/Itami feud, especially if they're going to drag it out to the next Takeover. I'd much rather Itami goes to Raw/205 Live sooner rather than later.

tbh they should do that more often. Always thought their biggest mistake last year was not holding a Takeover between Summerslam and Survivor Series.

Thought the WWE owned the Spirit Squad gimmick. Guessing this is literally just Kenny Dykstra and Mike Mondo and the writer just got lazy. e: no, wait, they're actually billed as the Spirit Squad on Cagematch, so...idk? Venomous fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Apr 9, 2017 |

SamuraiFoochs posted:That'd be good too although I don't know what the endgame would be. I like that both of SD's authority figures are faces. Shane/Bryan in an unsanctioned match for the right to keep AJ Styles on Smackdown, to which AJ goes 'ah, y'know what Bryan, you're a nice guy, I don't wanna see you getting murdered, I'll just go to Raw. have a great day y'all'

STAC Goat posted:Didn't he go from wasted on RAW to wasted on SD? And he was never really in NXT, right? So Uhaa Nation's entire run in WWE has been totally nothing, right? wasn't his thing on the indies that he was a flippy guy, but then Vince called him up early b/c he's a big guy and he can do big guy stuff, or something like that?

STAC Goat posted:Seriously? Because I pretty much skipped WM because of AJ vs Shane and Goldberg vs Brock. Seriously. AJ/Shane was the best match on the show and Goldberg/Lesnar was exactly what it had to be. Triple H/Rollins was also pretty great, but the crowd was unfortunately dead for the most part.

plot twist: it'll be Randy Orton vs. Jinder Mahal VERSUS SAMI ZAYN! ...please let it be that, just so this match is in some way not boring as gently caress. Heck, ideally just don't have Jinder in the match. Have Corbin in there, or something like that.

Randy Orton (c) defeats Jinder Mahal (0:06) e: the main event of Backlash is probably going to be the US title match, right?

It's better to just accept the WWE's booking as it is and know that nothing you do can change a thing now that they're still making money hand over fist, and they will continue to do so until Vince dies and investors lose confidence in Triple H and Stephanie. Tranquilo.

The difference between Goldberg and Bryan is that Bryan can actually still wrestle. You put him in the ring with, say, Nakamura, and they'll blow the fuckin roof off, especially if it's in a smarky city like Chicago. Granted, I see your point that it may be a problem going forward, but idk, this is a hypothetical situation which'll never happen if the WWE has anything to say about it.

Guessing that Bushiroad will take over the WWE in the end, just because it'll still have value as a brand in America, moreso than NJPW anyway. Truly they will become the Global Wrestling Monopoly that Tiger Mask W sought to combat. (Of course, they're going to job out Tiger Mask W to Roman in the end, because some things never change.)

tbh I realise now that they changed their plans for WM30 because Network subs weren't at a stable, profitable level and most of their revenue still came from PPVs and DVDs and stuff like that, whereas they could afford to push Roman into the main event of the last three WMs because people would still subscribe to the Network regardless of his push they're literally just doing what Vince wants because they're making money regardless of who's pushed to the top, so if they have an ace that works a safe style + works really good matches now and again, who gives a poo poo about what the fans think? (of course, this mindset will change quite sharply when their TV deal expires and/or when Vince dies)

Benne posted:I'd rather see Jinder hold the title for 5 straight years than give it back to Randy loving Orton same, I would rather that Jinder lost the title to, idk, Lesnar e: actually, you know what'd be good? Roman beats Lesnar at SS, Lesnar's like 'okay, if Cena's a free agent, then gently caress it, so am I, and I want another title run' and he beats Jinder at, idk, HIAC? and loses the title to, I dunno, Shinsuke Nakamura at Wrestlemania, and they build up to Styles/Nakamura II at Summerslam next year or something like that. I mean, they should do Styles/Nakamura II at Wrestlemania, but Shinsuke needs to get his win back over Brock, so yeah. e2: I mean ideally Brock should never have another title run after this, but gently caress it, they'll probably go that way or something like it e3: actually, gently caress that poo poo, Styles should just beat Jinder at HIAC.

Honestly, if I were Bayley right now, I'd be petitioning hard to Vince to let her go back down to NXT where she was well written and not used badly. Same with Finn. e: wrong thread, but w/e, this counts as a spoiler I guess Dave on the next Superstar Shakeup posted:Another aspect being talked about is to send one or more wrestlers from the main roster to NXT. Names in particular would be people who were major stars in NXT that Vince McMahon simply isn’t going to push even if they are over, or people who are doing nothing on the main roster with the idea they could be more useful as major players on NXT.

SamuraiFoochs posted:Has anyone actually said he's one of the names being suggested? I think this is people just assuming. Stupidly. Never assumed poo poo, just said that it's something he might want to consider since he'll never be pushed towards the main event again while Vince is alive ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also, w/r/t Bayley, wasn't her thing that she didn't want to move to the main roster in the first place b/c she didn't want her character to be ruined? I dunno.

SamuraiFoochs posted:The main reason I said the Finn thing is stupid is I'd almost toxx on him being back in the main event scene within the next few months. Brock is really jamming that scene up and it won't be as much of an issue soon. These are both fair and valid points and I'd actually love to see WWE Champion Finn Bálor at some point.
