Infinit Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Guys, I really think that in Vince's eyes, a match with Shane at Mania is a huge deal. It might be a good sign in terms of his standing with management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Shane is one of the only two-three actual draws of this entire decade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 In my personal experience Shane is talked about with almost as much reverence as Austin/Rock /Taker/Foley among lapsed Attitude Era fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 It's Shane, Goldberg, and Cena, And MAYBE Bryan for a short period of time. That's about it. Brock for just about one PPV before he became an anchor dragging down the product. Rock in small doses. Basically no one else. Shane probably has a better WON HOF case than Rollins at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 If AJ's not going to be involved in a title match at WM, Shane-AJ makes sense on a lot of levels. The company would no doubt view it as a high-profile match for AJ, Shane is over enough that he'd get good babyface reactions and hopefully keep from turning AJ face, and it'd get good placement on the card. My main objection is that I have no interest in the matchup, so it may actually cause me to lose some interest in WM. I still think the best angle for either AJ or Cena is to let AJ keep the belt at the Rumble and have Cena chase him for three more months, only to finally beat him at WM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I think we all emphatically agree that Cena has to get his win (and tie the record) at Wrestlemania. It keeps AJ strong and gives WM that special moment that the WWE always hypes. Which just means that Cena is going over tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I don't think Cena should tie and subsequently break Flairs record. Keep Flairs record in tact regardless on how I feel about him personally Ric Flair is Ric Flair and should have the record for World Title Reigns for ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 They need to get Flair on one of the Network interview shows and shoot about how the 16 reigns record is bullshit. That's the only way they can push back the goalposts on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind Cena breaking Flair's record, but I hope they don't cheapen it like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Considering Ric's last reign or two in WCW, I'm not sure that would cheapen anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 There are a ton of people being affected by Trump's horrific and disgraceful Muslim ban right now, with even green card holders and dual citizens being denied entry to the country. If a citizen of one of those seven countries is legally in the country now, and has to leave for personal or business reasons, they won't be allowed back in the next 90 days. Way, way down the ladder of concerns, my mind drifted to WWE and I wondered if they had any staff that may be affected. Any ideas? If Sami Zayn has dual citizenship of Syria, he would be one. Likewise Ariya Daivari if he has dual citizenship of Iran. (Had a quick look at their roster and couldn't see others, but there could be more. I don't know the backgrounds of all of their performers.) If that is the case, those two wrestlers either won't be able to leave the country, or if they do, they won't be able to re-enter. WWE has a house show tour of Canada in a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Poor JBL. Before I ever post a screen grab or picture on twitter I always quadruple check it for anything unusual. That's like Social Media 101. But I guess when trying to do something timely these things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 No doubt that a match with Shane is high profile but it's high profile in the same way CM Punk against The Undertaker was. A bone thrown to the hardworking Summer months performer but in no way an indication that he will ever be in a true main event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
