Seth Rollins out 6-9 months with torn ACL

I am fine with a Sheamus cash-in. The chase is what's fun and makes wrestling. Roman having the rug cut out out from under him AGAIN gives him odds he has to overcome, and at WrestleMania where he came so close to doing the unthinkable until Rollins wormed his way into the spot.

Sheamus is a really solid worker. Have The Authhority do the lifting on the mic and setting the table for him and that's a fine feud.

I have a hard time believing anyone will be intrigued in watching Sheamus.

Even though Rollins had a blown knee, he still went right back and finished the move, powerbombing Kane through the table from the buckle.  Holy shit, that's guts.

 

It looks like Rollins came down unevenly and ended up taking Kane's weight on himself before he was planted.  Weakest point went out, which was his knee.

They should do an actual Survivor Series tournament. 4 or 5 elimination tag matches with the survivors all advancing to a battle royal or a multiman ladder match.

 

Advancing to a two ring battle royal where the two winners fight in a Cell in a Hell for the championship.

 

If you're going gimmick porn, go all the way.

I really wish they'd do a Deadly Games II but they're so convinced Roman is the Rock and Cena rolled into one that no way they turn him heel & align him with the Corporation - even though that would open up so many stories and make him so much more interesting.

 

I do think we get a Survivor Series Title Tourny out of this now which is kinda exciting because I love one night tourneys.

 

Funny, I just watched Deadly Games a few weeks ago and it really was one of the best ppvs of the Attitude Era. Yeah, the work isn't the greatest because of the talent level and Russo but as far as a show telling a story, it was pretty much the best thing Russo ever did. It was like a 3 hour movie where every match was a chapter or subplot and when you get to the twist ending you could look back and see how he dropped little Easter Eggs in there so it all made sense. And Rock and Foley were just so good in their roles even doing they they even take a shitty Montreal Screwjob finish and make it work.

If this is a one night tourney it would be great if they pushed a lower seed through to the finals or something. Cesaro, maybe even an Owens or if someone like Zayn is healthy. Shit, even Big E in the finals would be tremendous.

 

Actually, why can't we just get The New Day as your new heavyweight champion?

 

We ARE the heavyweight champion.

I think Cesaro going on a major run in the tournament would be a fucking perfect move which naturally means he won't even be in the tournament.

I know, it's just that I can see a grumbling Vince using the whole thing to take Kane off TV for awhile considering he's already been "kidnapped".

 

As far as Cesaro's concerned, I'm so pessimistic at this point that I can see him losing in a first-round match. Probably to Ziggler. But of course if they wanted to really let the brass ring grabbing occur, this would be just the time. Even if he lost to Reigns in a finals or semis he'd be made.

I know it won't happen, but I really want to see a Cinderella story with one of the guys in the tournament. A low carder gets victory and makes it into the quarter's. Pulls off an upset and makes it to the semi finals. Guy he beat costs him the match. Just something that would be better than an obvious match like Reigns vs. Ambrose.

If they're turning Roman, Ambrose has to be the guy he turns on. I love Seasaro but him losing to Roman in the finals works well only if it's a straight up babyface match and then Sheamus comes in and cashes in.

I'm not one for swerve booking but wouldn't this be the perfect time to just do something a little crazy? We've discussed the Deadly Games tourney and everything and you look at the state of the WWE right now with viewership being way down I think this would be the perfect time to do something huge leading into the new year and WM @ Dallas.

I'm playing catch up. Are we good on the crossfit jokes?

 

Amazingly - we went straight to the fantasy booking

 

Well that and the "We knew they are going to screw this up"
