Guest Edwin Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Did Mandy Rose lose teeth in the Chamber? She was out there looking like Larry David when he got blasted in the mouth by a kid with a stick swinging at a piñata. Also, the Iiconics rule. They aren't exactly smooth technicians in the ring, but their taunts ruled here and that pinning combo was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 On last night's radio show - Dave elaborated in that what he has been told that Bryan's Mania opponent will be a returning superstar Now he said the WWE has a giant list of folks they are considering - most of the are unlikely to be Bryan's opponent (Taker, Cena) But the most likely possibilities now are KO, Sami Zayn and Bray Wyatt Bautista is another option (especially if HHH isn't ready) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Sami Zayn's the best of the bolded. I also like Kevin Owens. However I'd rather see Kofi Kingston, Rey Mysterio or John Cena wrestle Daniel Bryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, there's been way too much build up to Kofi winning this title now to just drop it for a cold program that will only have a few weeks of build. In this case, I would be surprised if it isn't Kofi because it's going to be one of those things were fans shit all over it. Not that that hasn't stopped them before.

John from Cincinnati Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I don't understand the suggestion that whatever Bryan does at Mania will be cold. They got fans salivating for Kofi as a legit threat in a single night. It doesn't take much if they do it right. Anyway, Bryan vs Kofi at Fastlane is the new rumour.

RIPPA Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 https://www.f4wonline.com/wwe-news/kofi-kingston-front-runner-face-daniel-bryan-wwe-fastlane-277356 Quote In a change of plans that took place on Monday, it looks like Kofi Kingston is the front-runner to be announced as WWE Champion Daniel Bryan's opponent for Fastlane at tonight's SmackDown in New Orleans, Louisiana. As of Monday morning, WWE already had plans in place for both Fastlane, which takes place on March 10 in Cleveland, and WrestleMania four weeks later, which did not involve Kingston. However, based on the fan response to Kingston's performance in the gauntlet on Tuesday, and even more the Elimination Chamber on Sunday, where he was a stand-in for the injured Mustafa Ali, the decision was changed to go to Bryan vs. Kingston. It is not clear how or if this change of plans will affect the original WWE title plans for WrestleMania. Bryan was scheduled to face someone making a return as opposed to one of the current SmackDown brand regulars at the year's biggest show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Why bother doing Kofi vs. Bryan at Fast Lane if Kofi is just going to job again? Fans don't want to see anything other than Kofi finally win the big one. Also, lets not pretend that WWE had huge plans for the WWE title at WM. It was probably slated 4th from the top. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I think its more "Daniel Bryan in a big match at Mania" is more the thing than whether or not he has the title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I think Bryan vs. Kofi at Mania makes the most sense because the story is already there and no returning superstar is going to be as hot as Kofi will at MetLife. That said, I wouldn't be opposed to Kofi winning the title at Fast Lane and then defending it at WM and Bryan having a separate feud with someone else. Of course, that is not likely to happen. Unfortunately it looks like Kofi will not get his Mania moment, New Day will probably be involved in some multi team mess on the kickoff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thee Reverend Axl Future Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 My favorite thing about the show was when the WWE gave the Elimination Chamber some promo time. It was pretty good on the mic, building anticipation and possibly even selling some Network subs. Kind of like a Jake the Snake promo, all confidence, dire predictions and growly menace. I wish the other anthropomorphic plunder of the PPV universe could be featured thusly: some Tables, a few Ladders, an eloquent Chair, comedy from the MITB belt and of course - the imperious imposing Cell That Holds Hell itself in all it's glory. End this primate bias and no need to worry about "Southern style rassling managers", Mr. McMahon - the next gen of talkers are right there and already copyrighted. - RAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazorbladeKiss87 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Didn't have a chance to watch the show until today. I skimmed it honestly. The women's tag Chamber was a ton of fun I love the IIconics. A lot. Partially in a "Calm down, Hollywood Razornetico" way and partially because their taunts are top notch entertainment. Skimmed until the Rousey/Riott "match"/segment. Thought that was put together well. Watched the Smackdown Chamber and holy crap was that great! Started the match wanting Joe/Bryan at 'Mania. Ended the match drafting an email to WWE Corporate demanding Kofi/Bryan at 'Mania. I'm still on a bit of a post-match high so my view may change after a few days of reflection. I plan to rewatch it over the weekend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there wasn't this big outcry for a Kofi title push before the past two weeks. But this is a great feel good story that fell into their laps by sheer happenstance. I'll admit, I didn't care about the entire of Kofi getting anywhere near the belt before the gauntlet match. But that son of a bitch took his shot and he SCORED. He made me believe. He had an entire crowd going nuts for him. Not in the "This is awesome clap-clap-clap" sense, but because they were emotionally invested and wanted him to win. And you don't see that anymore. WrestleMania has sadly become a show where we as fans are just beaten down, confused and pissed off by the time the show is over. Question why things are happening and Vince answers FUCK YOU, THAT'S WHY. This is a story that might actually make people happy. And if it doesn't work, Bryan can take it right back at a Smackdown or the next PPV. But God damn, why not take a chance? #kofimania 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 It really is a lot like when the backup comes off the bench and just takes over. Run with it until he cools off. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AverageKong Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I'm for a Sasha/Bayley vs Lita/Trish match at WM, but I imagine we'll likely have them defending against the Bellas. I'm not very active with social media and I wouldn't follow the Bellas if I were, but I find it odd that they've been relatively quiet since the titles were introduced and now captured. Makes me believe they've been training and are trying to keep quiet about the upcoming angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
