Big Fresh Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 That's about where I'm at with it, honestly. I'm at home on a typical Monday night, but I just let Raw record. I'll watch it at some point on Tuesday but it's nothing I'm in a hurry to do. So you've said. Repeatedly. 2
Big Fresh Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I don't care who goes over in Bryan vs. Brock, I just want the match! 4
The Comedian Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Someone just retire Bryan already so people can quit having to be assholes to each other. Holy hell. Sami Zayn will just rise to take his place...
Brysynner Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Yay for the Roman haters. An early Christmas! Reddit probably just wet its collective diaper. I'll let your imagination determine of what. Legit questions: just who in the entire flick-flack takes the belt from Lesnar? When does it happen? And is he going to work a better schedule for WWE? Reigns takes it on Sunday and Lesnar's probably gonna work SummerSlam, Survivor Series, Rumble, Fastlane, Mania and a two RAWs before each PPV he's on.
Burgundy LaRue Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Then fine. He'll be done soon enough and everyone here will have what they want. Yeah, because we're just itching to see someone get permanently injured. If Reigns does win Sunday--a big if at this point--he goes heel, yes? I know all this has been discussed ad nauseum, but I'm trying to keep things straight in my oversaturated mind.
Patrick B. Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I guess you're right in a way. People still chant for Punk and he's been gone for over a year now with no desire to return. Even if Bryan were to retire for one reason or another, people would still chant for him. If some fans are stupid enough to pay for a product they hate, then WWE wins in the end.

I know all this has been discussed ad nauseum, but I'm trying to keep things straight in my oversaturated mind. If Reigns turns heel then Rollins has to turn face right? When was the last time a person cashed in MITB on a person of the same alignment? So what's the difference in opponents for face Reigns or Heel Reigns Opponents for Heel Reigns: Lesnar, Rollins, Cena, Bryan, Orton, Ambrose Opponents for Face Reigns:Lesnar, Rollins, Rusev, Bryan, Orton, Wyatt I think babyface Reigns has better opponents than heel Reigns
Patrick B. Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Honestly haven't thought much about it. Now that Lesnar is seemingly confirmed to be staying (I wouldn't put it past WWE to try to SWERVE~! people), there's no immediate need to take the belt off Brock. Also, I don't see Bryan in the WWE Title picture ever again. Just being realistic.
(BP) Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 "Brock, you're going over but we need you to make Roman look really str...just don't mess up his face."
Go2Sleep Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Also, I don't see Bryan in the WWE Title picture ever again. Just being realistic. He'll definitely compete for it again, and there's a decent chance he'll win it. I see him following the same booking path as Eddie. On the Mania/post-Mania front, what happens to Seth Rollins? The MITB case loses a lot of value if the champ is only tv a handful of times per year, both in kayfabe and real life, and they're running out of time to address this issue. I'm not really seeing a good scenario for him or the credibility of MITB if Lesnar retains.
Patrick B. Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I don't see any reason why they would put the belt on Bryan again. He could compete for it, but I don't see him winning it. P.S. Why would they push Sami Zayn?
Jrag Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 THANK GOD. THANK FUCK. See you all in March Madness '16. This time we will get it right. Damn right. Lesnar on Sportscenter will be on my list of talking points.
JCM Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Patrick B., on 25 Mar 2015 - 10:45 AM, said: P.S. Why would they push Sami Zayn? Maybe because he's the best baby face in wrestling, cuts good promos, and is one of the best workers on the planet. Then again Vince may not like his face, and he could shake John Cena's hand wrong or some shit.
Dolfan in NYC Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Then fine. He'll be done soon enough and everyone here will have what they want. Yeah, because we're just itching to see someone get permanently injured. If Reigns does win Sunday--a big if at this point--he goes heel, yes? I know all this has been discussed ad nauseum, but I'm trying to keep things straight in my oversaturated mind. If Reigns turns heel then Rollins has to turn face right? When was the last time a person cashed in MITB on a person of the same alignment? Brock wins, Rollins cashes in, and Brock spends the next few months getting murderous revenge against Seth. Meanwhile, Rollins becomes Honky Tonk Man '15, using every trick in the book to keep the title until Bryan Boma Ye's the ever-living fuck out of him in Brooklyn in August. It's simple.
Patrick B. Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I envision Vince's computer wallpaper as a screenshot of the Mania 30 ending with the caption "NEVER AGAIN".

Brysynner Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks for the history lesson...I honestly forgot about those. Which is funny because I've said if Reigns doesn't win on Sunday he's gonna be a new version of Jack Swagger, someone who had his shot, couldn't do anything with it and will never get it again
JohnnyJ Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I don't see any reason why they would put the belt on Bryan again. He could compete for it, but I don't see him winning it. P.S. Why would they push Sami Zayn? I actually see multiple title reigns for Bryan. Even after everything I honestly believe that. Bryans road will have a lot of parallels to Bret Harts. I don't think Vince ever wanted Bret as the center of the promotion. He tried over and over again to push other people but it never really worked out. Bret was always there, putting in solid work and over as a face. Think about what the next 2-3 years look like. Cena has to start slowing down and moving more into the special attraction stage of his career. Brock is never around. Who is going to be the major face in the WWE? The Reigns experiment so far has failed. My guess is Vince will try to give a Reigns style push to someone else with the hope it takes. Eventually, he will reluctantly return to Bryan because he has no other choice.
nate Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I get amused by the twists and turns we take on here sometimes ... Daniel Bryan: One of the best wrestlers in the world, "hopefully he'll just fucking retire because we're sick of hearing about him." There's a word for that, isn't there? Probably several ... 1
ebbie Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 If you were in charge, why would the fuck you want to cater to DB's fan base? They are innately negative and there's nothing you could to do make them happy. There's no evidence to prove they are spending a decent amount of money to support him, outside of being duped on a internet/cable package that the whole home uses for other things.
Cristobal Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 If you were in charge, why would the fuck you want to cater to DB's fan base? Because they're a large majority of your paying customers? Seriously, the guy main-evented Mania last year because every crowd they played to demanded that. How deeply do you have to bury your head to be able to pretend that "DB's fan base" is some tiny ROH-following cadre? 4

There's no evidence to prove they are spending a decent amount of money to support him, outside of being duped on a internet/cable package that the whole home uses for other things. Because DB's fanbase is an older leaning demographic. They are also a highly engaged demographic. Chances are they make up a very large percentage of the WWE Network domestic base. You can talk about Cenas merch sales or Reigns pops at house shows all you want, but the health of the future of the company is based on WWE Network subscriptions. 8-year olds don't have credit cards or salaries. When I was 8 my parents would never let me order a ppv. It was unthinkable. On a good day I was allowed to rent Hulkamania Forever for the 100th time at my public library.
Patrick B. Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I like Bryan and *I* want him to retire because I'm sick of hearing people bitch and moan about him and his fans. 2
