odessasteps Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Legendary Football manager Bobby Robson legit had that problem. When he was England manager he once greeted (then-England & Man United captain) Bryan Robson by saying "Hello Bobby". The response was "I'm Bryan, you're Bobby." He used to call Shola Ameobi 'Carl Cort' as well. Carl Cort having played for Newcastle a few years earlier. "Ameobi, like." "Shut up, Dave." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood Cibernetico Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 They dug themselves into a deeper hole this year with AT&T Stadium. The issue there is that they sort of need this to be a rebuilding Mania and they can't afford for it to be. I thought about this and I think WWE can still do it. THE RIGHT PEOPLE just need to go over. Rollins, Cesaro, Sting, and Orton will be out, so we cannot fantasy book them into anything. Batista is most likely not going to be there and its a toss up if The Rock can even perform. Angle will be free, but I HIGHLY doubt WWE brings him in even if its for one match. Jericho and/or RVD making an apperance is a possibly. Cena/Taker and Brock/Reigns II are likely to happen and I wouldn't have an issue with either. I would like to see WM32 be the last hoorah for a lot of acts and so I would book it accordingly (with the eye to the future): Dudley Boys vs. Harlem Heat Dean Ambrose vs. Chris Jericho IC Title: Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens Tag Team TLC II: Usos vs. Dragons vs. New Day Divas Title: Sasha vs. Charlotte vs. Paige vs. Becky US Title: Neville vs. Alberto Del Rio Tyler Breeze vs. RVD I think people might be overestimating the impact individual matches have on Wrestlemania ticket sales. Look at last year's card. Brock/Roman wasn't generating that much interest, Sting/HHH wasn't any better, Rock and Rousey weren't advertised, and I doubt Bray/Taker sold a single ticket. Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like the big draw for Mania is Mania. What might be a problem is if the product we get stays so shitty that people just start tuning out completely. Yeah the draw is definitely the name and thats part of the problem. Maina is going to do a 50-60% sellout before even ONE MATCH is announced. Thats good for the company, but it also sends the message that the 50/50 booking is fine, making faces look like chumps is fine, etc. Because DESPITE all of that....WM sold 50-60K seats within a week.

peterien Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Its the first time in ages that I've got to see shows (Raw & Smackdown) in full, i usually just watch the PPVs,NXT specials and the TOP 10s on YouTube. And a lot of things bother me; Why is King still commentating? Why do they play a talents music before a run in? Why does every promo/segment have to be so perfectly laid out and clear cut? Stuff works better when its rough and on the fly. The piped in crowd noise for SD is just awful. Ambrose needs new offence. Charlotte is easily the most overrated talent on the roster. And that fucking strut!!! There's no spontaneity anymore. EDIT: Bray Wyatt has no credibility anymore. I find him annoying to watch anyway but he's lost every major feud he's been in. And the "fireflies Maggle" entrance is awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyJ Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Step 1: Keep Brad Maddox randomly employed but off tv for years. Step 2: Fire him and give him 1,000,000x the attention and publicity you gave him when you employed him. Step 3: ????? Step 4: Profit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I actually figured out the opening horn part to "Sunrise" best I could on guitar for an intro on one of my old punk band's demos. One guess as to what the intro's name was. http://semataryrecords.bandcamp.com/track/the-lariat-intro-convenience-is-poison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I'm starting to think I'm higher then Bray Wyatt then anyone else on this board. Or anywhere, maybe.

Turn him face, drop the supernatural mumbo-jumbo, and let him be a hillbilly shitkicker who cuts Dusty Rhodes/Southern preacher style promos. I bet he could pull it off.

Before anyone laughs at this, it's exactly what they did with The Undertaker - his original heel run was barely a year before he was popular enough to be turned babyface. You don't have to change a thing about Bray, just change his targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Watching that Hansen video (which I will never get enough of), I will forever believe the WWE missed the boat on Ryback and the Meathook being the American version of the Lariat. Instead of setting up for it, he just clubs people with it like Hansen. Probably less chance he kills someone with a Meathook than the shellshock. Though to his credit he vastly improved doing that. They missed that chance though. I could see JBL screaming MEATHOOK OUTTA NOWHERE MAGGLE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
