cubbymark Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I feel like we are veering dangerously close to someone fantasy booking a furry gimmick for big Dave. Gimmick? Batista as The Berzerker: Huss, huss, huss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting me on the spot here, idk have him feud with somebody something more then just matches. Just something other then just being there. Put him with Dolph and have them feud with the Uso's over the titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Z Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 They haven't announced Rusev yet, have they? Not yet, but I also think he has a good chance to be a surprise entrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 So, apparently... Roderick Strong was described as the standout of the most recent tryout camp, with his physical and speaking abilities. Kevin Steen was also described as standing out for being in better shape. Other names in the camp included ACH, Michael Elgin, Rocky Romero, Willie Mack, and Arya Daivari, the brother of former WWE wrestler Shawn Daivari. That's a pretty dire commentary on the state of the indies when Roderick Strong is a standout promo. Roderick Strong. Not to mention Kevin Steen being in better shape. Unless it just means "better shape than he used to be". His waistline is still pretty huge last I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is NJPW bringing over their technical staff to have it on UStream? If so, it might actually work. I won't hold my breath, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 RVD's best place is on Main Event. Other than that, I would like to see him on NXT even though that wouldn't happen. A third option would be to have him as an agent of The Authority. Finally, a fourth option is to just pull the trigger on a tag team with him and Ryback.

Web Conn Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 If they could get a DeLorean and go back to 98 and pick up Sabu RVD and Fonzie that would be ideal those 3 would drive The Authority crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimo Necro Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Big Fresh isn't lying. This is...amazing. It may be the best episode of How Did This Get Made ever. The Street Fighter, Sleepaway Camp, and Reindeer Games episodes are tough competition. Now I really want Mantzoukas as a color commentator somewhere. "That match was LITERALLY GARBAGE." He wouldn't jive well with WWE's social media initiative. "Still not on Twitter, guys." On the flip side. Cesaro vs. Bryan and he'd be like "Guys, that match was LITERALLY next level bonkers insane" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mookieghana Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Great piece by @WoolyWoolhouse over at WhatCulture, WWE: 10 Surprising Revelations From The 1991 Summerslam Payroll Sheet It's another fun companion piece to Bix's great piece about the Ultimate Warrior in the latest issue of FSM. The payroll for the event was one of the exhibits in the lawsuit which Bix was chronicling. EDIT: And I totally screwed up the DRAW concept so ignore that part, but the rest is true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 That letter that Bix presented from Warrior to Vince was utterly fascinating. I cannot tell if Warrior is just a really sensitive dude down deep or if he was just trying to work Vince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
