All-Purpose News Thread Part II

He will work both nights if needed. They want the Rock match but they also want a belt off Roman and Rock can't be winning any belts.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Also the simple solution to the "Roman is tired" thing is to have Cody wrestle night 1 as well against Solo or Seth.

Also the simple solution to the "Roman is tired" thing is to have Cody wrestle night 1 as well against Solo or Seth.

Simple maybe, but still terribly stupid

Roman hasn't taken a pin since 2019, he is on a modern record run, wen he loses it needs to be a crowning achievement and moment of the year situation, having him and or his eventual conqueror have another match in the previous 24 hrs kills that

The eventual defeat of Roman needs to be the #1 moment, not 1A or 1B

 

[yahhockey]

In theory would it give Roman positive momentum if he lost A TITLE (not both unless they decide to scrap the two belt system and he loses his one and only title) night one but then beat Rock night two to solidify his status as the tribal chief, head of the table, best of the family? This way he does lose a/the title belt(s) however the last image of WreslteMania is him holding up his fist over the lifeless Rock which would carry some cachet moving forward. I suppose they could do something with The Rock acknowledging Roman as the tribal chief then leaving the ring so there is a passing of the torch instead of Roman standing over him.

One way to keep the belts on Roman and fight the Rock is, just, not do it for the titles?

Taking the belts off Roman just before Mania and a massive Rock matchup is awful business.

His run is the story now, it can't end anywhere but at a Mania now.

 

[Apex Predator]

Is the rock thing for sure?

 

[CDJ]

Missed this but Joe Doering has brain cancer again

 

[TD Charlie]

If they get The Rock, then it’s gotta main event Saturday night and Roman has to win clean. Night two the Usos can drop titles to KO and Sami, and this breakdown of the bloodline combined with Roman competing Saturday results in the Rumble winner (I assume Cody) pinning him for a title to close out Sunday.

Unless they can get the rock for multiple shows of course. In which case Roman retains against Cody Saturday and then drops a title to Dwayne Sunday. The Rock then loses later on to somebody else via some shenanigans and is never heard from again.

 

[Sheppy]

Again. He shouldn’t be wrestling both nights.

Good for Regal getting himself a VP position.

Brock Lesnar vs. Gunther is one of the big matches set for WWE WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles.
After asking someone who is familiar with the creative plans, WrestlingNews.co was told that Lesnar vs. Gunther is one of the matches listed internally for the show. Gunther has talked about wanting the match because he feels that a match with Lesnar would present the biggest possible challenge for him.
Last month, Gunther said that Lesnar would be his "dream match." During an interview with Illinois' WMBD TV, Gunther said the following: "If I had to pin it down to one name, I’d say it’s Brock Lesnar at the moment,” Gunther said. “When I was young and watching WWE, I enjoyed watching his matches. Later on when I progressed in my career, I was able to watch wrestling and analyze how people work. He’s always been somebody I was impressed with.


I'm ready for Brock vs Walter..hell yeah

That match-up has tremendous potential. Two big, unique performers known for hard-hitting, stiff, realistic looking offense.

Karl Anderson in Japan?

More from Monday's pwinsider.com:[/b]

While Karl Anderson is slated to return to New Japan Pro Wrestling this Wednesday 12/14 to defend the NEVER Openweight Championship against Hikuelo, that is not intended to be his final appearance for the promotion.

PWInsider.com has learned from multiple sources that WWE and New Japan have come to terms on an agreement for Anderson to wrestle on the 1/4/23 Wrestle Kingdom event at the Tokyo Dome, making him the first-ever contracted WWE talent to work NJPW's biggest event of the year.

PWInsider.com is told that Anderson had long figured into NJPW's plans for the event even before The Good Brothers returned to WWE and that the two sides were able to come to terms to keep NJPW's creative plans in place. We are told that Anderson will have a "strong role" at the Dome show in a singles bout.

Voices of Wresting is saying that Sasha Banks is working on a deal to be paid on a per-appearance deal in 2023 by Bushiroad (New Japan/Stardom) that is ‘significantly higher’ than that they paid for Chris Jericho, which according to Dave was $100k, and is higher than they’ve paid for anyone.

So, the answer to whether or not she needs WWE is answered for now. It’s no.

Riddle is in drug rehab due to failing a second drug test since summer. The drug isn't known but if it isn't weed, I'd be very surprised.

I highly doubt it's just weed.

Most likely some nose beers involved, I'd say.

I think WWE stopped suspending people for weed, its like a $2500 fine if the get dinged for it or something now

He also has been spotted with an adult film star lately as well, maybe he can choke this one without it getting reported to the authorities
