Sublime Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 If that happens how do we get to Brock/Roman next year? Does Brock move also? are we gonna see the titles swap shows too? It probably kills Vince that the WWE title isn't on Raw anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boydy Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Fantasy booking here but here goes. Lesnar beats Goldberg at Mania, next night on Raw they shake hands and one of them makes a comment about them teaming up together one day, roll on near Summerslam time and Reigns is already a heel at this point, Reigns Vs Lesnar for the title at the Raw ppv before Summerslam, Reigns wins the title thanks to help from Rollins and Ambrose who gets swapped to Raw, so they destroy Lesnar, then next week's Raw we have Heyman say that if the Shield want a war they can have one and then says Lesnar and 2 myster partners will take on The Shield, they mystery partners end up being Goldberg and Kurt Angle, just wishful thinking but would be awesome to see.

Boydy Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I also think that Dan Martha will be the next big WWE star, he is a big, tall, muscly guy that Vince loves, but wont be for a year or 2 as he has barely been on NXT, but can see it happening in the next couple of years.

Sky Blue Sam Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 16 hours ago, Niners Fan in CT said: AJ is right there in merch and has had less than half the push Roman has received. If AJ had Roman's push he'd be ahead of him. In just over a year, he's had a world title reign longer than Roman's three reigns combined, and has repeatedly pinned John Cena. He's hardly been Breezango in his push. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joseph2112 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 The thing about Cena, he's been great on top and all but it's not exactly ushered in the next boom period. If I was Vince I might want the next guy to be more than the guy overseeing the general decline of overall popularity of the product. But this is also the guy that is presenting the exact same TV product going on 20 years so, there it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what it was, i couldnt remember the wrestler that was being referenced. Though i didn't know about the students getting paid $30 deal. And people are outraged by that? Sounds normal in the world of independent wrestling to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason I don't watch WWE is because I find the McMahons (Vince in particular) to be absolutely reprehensible. I could overlook a LOT of the dumb stuff that company does, if it wasn't for that. Stories of Quack swindling students and workers for his own profit aren't news, but it sucks because you get into a comfort zone with certain companies and then this stuff pops out of the blue.

zev Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 What were the storyline, and actual, reasons that Chikara stopped having shows for a year and had all those splinter groups such as Wrestling Is Fun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Storyline was that their Director of Fun, Wink Vavasseur, was part of some shady conglomerate w/ possible ties to time travel, and they shut Chukar down for reasons unclear. Real reason was pure speculation, and I've seen everything from financial issues to marital infidelity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the sentiment but what promoters/promotions in wrestling are actually decent people? Do any promoters give a shit whether a guy has a concussion or has a drug issue or is one bump away from a severe injury? Edit: it's a low-bar but is Vince McMahon really the scuzziest person in wrestling? Hell, even in (former) promoters in his own company isn't Heyman guilty of a lot more awful shit in how he handled ECW, not just financially but in turning a blind eye to the rampant drug use?
