DTTW Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 3 hours ago, Brian Fowler said: I can't figure out why they keep punting on Cena/Taker. Just makes no sense. A guy who is super beat up and old, another who is trying to get out so he doesn't turn out like the other guy, and you can't do a little probability math here? Nash is right, wrestling fans live in some of the worst bubbles. Stop thinking of them as wrestlers with nothing else to do in life and start thinking about the people behind them. I'm as guilty as anyone of doing it, but we need to stop doing it. Just because your boss wants you to work on friday, doesn't mean your willing to skip your vacation day with your family. We all know Vince and CO are those type of a-hole bosses who would be like that. I'm not sure what's going to stop the bleeding, but 6* matches won't be it. I really think a drastic move of some sort will be required. This same old shit thinking on booking/writing will kill them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fucked up typing 2014 when I meant to do 2004. Balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beech27 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 That the window has closed on Cena/Undertaker is one of the better arguments for booking your best stuff when you know you can, with a little more urgency. Eventually there's a point where you can't just run it later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 If you ask me, the time to run Taker/Cena was when the streak was still in play. Just to add a little depth to it other than, hey, here's a dream match 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably the one last marquee match they haven't run and can still run. That's why everyone is talking about it. That "wrestling bubble" talking point is nonsense. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I don't believe that's the main event. As said a few pages back by gentlemen smarter than I, Cena winning #16 closes the show. If it were any show other than WM, I'd believe it. But as it stands, I view Goldberg/Lesnar as this year's Sting/HHH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Per PWI Quote Get ready for your Brock Lesnar fix on RAW as he is advertised for every RAW starting from this Monday up to the Feb. 27th, which is the go-home show to the Fast Lane PPV, which he is not currently advertised for. The only RAW he will be missing is Feb. 13th which is in Las Vegas, where he is suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. He is also advertised for RAW in Brooklyn, NY on March 20th. These are in addition to his previously announced appearances at Live Events in Salt Lake City UT on Feb.4th, Dallas TX on Feb. 17th and MSG on Mar. 12th.

I read that tidbit as well, I just find it really difficult to believe with Goldberg being a WCW creation and Lesnar having cooled off a bit.

Curt McGirt Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hey all, Omega/Okada is playing on AXS TV tonight at 7 PM Central and reruns after the LFA card sometime later (supposed to be 11 Central but who knows). Just a heads-up. Ishii/Naito's playing the hour before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEN! Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Godammit, pal, put Cena/Undertaker back on the board. Lemme tell you what to do, baby! Undertaker wins the Rumble. Cena wins the WHC. Undertaker challenges Cena at WM. Call it Taker's last ride, Cena's last stand, something overly melodramatic. Reigns wins the red belt. Styles pitches a fit at D-Brine for giving Cena a title shot he didn't deserve and jumps to Raw and gets the title match at WM and WWE's 7-star match is set. Maybe start a double turn too. They can stick with Goldberg/Lesnar and Strowman can win the Andre Battle Royal. And post-WM, you got Cena/Corbin ready to go and Reigns/Rollins vs. Styles/Balor before turning Reigns full heel later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
