Why on Earth wasn't this announced on Raw last night?

Only 3 hours. Guess USA will have to ask for a fourth when the next TV deal comes up

(I'm kidding, they'll ask for SD to be 3 too)

That's the thing as well, you can't even try to argue that he's useful to have around. JBL sucks rear end all around these days and he provides nothing that would even come close to making up for the awful poo poo he's done to people.

This sorta hits home to me because around this time last year I had an emotional breakdown/suicidal thoughts so I know how hosed up it can feel when you feel attacked and miserable. JBL can legit go loving announce for some lovely indie fed in Texas and stay away from WWE forever.

Agreed completely. They have more than enough commentators/personalities

The drama isn't in who wins Taker/Reigns, it's in whether Taker shakes or raises Reigns' hand after the big dog wins

Pretty good.

He also confirmed that Team Cena was supposed to win at EC 2013 (three months into the Shield) but they all went to Vince and argued to get it changed.

Also according to Meltzer, he did some polling about the match with the most buzz. WWE did it indepdently as well so they figure what might go on last.

They both got the same answer.





































bow wow

Since we're talking dork poo poo a new episode of Rick and Morty just dropped on Adult Swim unannounced. I'm not joking, it's an actual episode and not a prank.

It is a prank. Channel keeps (at least half) the season from airing over a year after it's been finished and ready, then finally airs the premiere for 4 hours on loop on the day everyone expects an announcement of it airing to be a prank. It's the best April 1 joke they've made in years, and in my opinion since they aired the full extended Space Ghost Coast to Coast ant episode

1. lolfoochs

2. :rip: Taker

3 and most importantly. To complete Reigns' dominating run, not only should he retire Cena at Mania 35 (to compliment Taker today and Brock at 34), he should retire Dwayne at 36. Make Reigns The Greatest Star of All Time

why are you blaming roman reigns for not being able to lift taker's old, sandbagging rear end

i mean in all actuality that botch was neither of their fault, undertaker couldn't even bend over let alone jump to give roman the leverage he needed, and roman was put in an awkward position in trying a spot that they had no business doing

if anyone gets the blame its the person who called that spot

Honestly yeah. Really baffling to think they should have done that spot

Dwayne is actually worth more than the brand so they can't afford him anymore

That's why I said at 36. 36 is 2020, the Fast and Furious series ends in '19. If they're ever getting another chance to have him in a match, it's likely then

the botch was fortunate in that it would of ended in clear disaster

however,

Cena could have got him up and conducted the spot safely.


e - and what the hell do you mean sandbagging, taker struggled his best to get momentum

Cena doesn't have a history of hernias including months away due to severe ones.

God, remember when they had him trying to lift the big show immediately coming off of that? This is how the company treats people they LIKE

They somehow did it for Hogan/Sting.

Owens and/or Balor are due a title rematch at some point. Maybe AJ if he jumps to Raw. Still plenty of time to have Lesnar drop the belt maybe around Summerslam and pick it back up at the Survivor Series or Rumble.

Whoa, 3 singles matches for Brock?! Sounds super optimistic right now, that's basically his total over the last 2 years
