WWE: Monday Night Raw thread #134: Roman Reigns IS Wrestlemania

[Emperoreddy]

^^ Many will not be a fan of the "draw" but damn i'd love it. Two brutes just beating the **** out of themselves. It's still going to be the MOTN for sure.

Nonetheless, would still be very happy with Lesnar making Ambrose pass out and the ref call the match while Lesnar was beat up, too. No pin.. just the ref saying "enough" and cannot handle it anymore. Lesnar can sell the **** out of being "out of it" and looking beat up. Lord knows he will be bleeding.

I'd be down for that finish. Especially if it's as brutal as I imagine it will be. You are also right Brock will be bleeding like crazy and he can sell being dazed on his feet really well.

I'm just really into the idea of strapping the rocket to Dean. Turn Roman heel and unleash Dean and use a year long program with Brock to both start and finish it.

Dean gets street cred for "wounding The Beast" but doesn't go over. Brock gets his revenge (and eventually the title) and Dean has to go into Mania 33 to prove he can do what no one has done (because everything pre breaking of the streak didn't happen) and conquer the beast.

I think Dean is the only face close enough right now where you can tell that David vs Goliath story and get fans to buy it and the payoff would be money.

They missed their chance to cash that giant check with DB, but they can cut a similar one with Dean if they give him a good year following this Mania match.

Best part is once the rub is finally passed. You got a new star in Dean and Brock can wrestle real matches again so we can get Brock/KO, Brock/Cesaro and they won't be automatic squashes.

Dean can then feud with Bray, feud with heel Roman, feud with tweener Seth, feud with KO, feud with Bullet Club heel Finn.

Don't copy what austin did. People already think Ambrose is the PG era version of austin in the way his character goes about not giving a **** about authority and such. He shouldn't literally follow his footsteps piece by piece.

Lord knows it sure as **** isn't working for reigns...

 

[Disclose]

im personally hyped for WM, despite the card....
ive felt worse before for other cards and still end up enjoying it. i guess its the kid on me who enjoys wrestling and keeps watching despite a crappy product. but we will have our cool moments and lots to talk about, starting with nxt.
and even if the show really disappoints, the biggest crowd we've seen, should be fun to hear no matter what.

(it helps if you stop reading spoilers or rumours about it, too)

 

[BonMorrison]

I'm also hyped for it even though I'm not a huge fan of the card. It's WrestleMania, I can ***** and complain all I want but when April 3rd rolls around, I'm going to be bouncing all over the place.

 

[Serac]

Finally got around to watching this
What a great video
He certainly feels like he's the top face in the company

Interesting that he brought up CZW
It definitely seems like it's going to be an absolutely brutal match
Gonna see some Moxley at WM

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Dean will never be champion with those legs.

Considering who's not available (and not there anymore), it's still a solid card. I'm not as hyped up as past years but we're all going to watch is because this is still an event.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I'm really not hyped for Wrestlemania at all this year, to be honest. It's a week away and I feel almost nothing. Maybe it'll set in closer to the event, but right now, I'm way more excited for NXT and The Walking Dead Finale.

 

[Megahab]

I'm excited just because it's WrestleMania, but the card itself does nothing for me. I do have a little bit of interest in how they will book Taker vs. Shane though, to the point that it is the match I'm most looking forward to. I can't see Taker's second WM loss coming to Shane McMahon, but if Taker is winning, what was the point of all this?

Lesnar vs. Ambrose should be good of course. I really hope Ambrose doesn't win. I'm not a fan. But I get that he is a favourite, so I'd just like to see Lesnar win but in a way that puts Ambrose over. Lesnar shaking Ambrose's hand at the end of the match would be good. It is not something Lesnar would do and doesn't fit his character at all, which is why it will be so effective for Ambrose.

Oh, no doubt. The day before and the day of WM usually get me hyped no matter how weak the show looks.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

I'm hyped to see who get special over the top kick ass entrances.

Obviously Triple H's match will. Maybe shane will.
I'm thinking they try to do something good for the women's triple threat.

It is sad that THAT is what I'm looking forward to most. Over the top entrances and lots of pyro.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe...

 

[Serac]

No sweet entrances this year
Must give all of the time to all the needless concerts

 

[KaseMeOutside]

this is why i can't take his WWE homerism seriously, just a shill trying to keep his access

 

[ColePens]

Preach.

KV... that ****ing idiot, LaBar, said that after Reigns beat down HHH all over the arena in Pittsburgh, people gave a standing ovation to Reigns during commerical. I asked about 6 people I knew that were there and they laughed when I asked them because they said it never happened.

I seriously hate that guy. I hate when people try to say things just simply to keep THEIR credentials and seats when WWE comes to town. And he keeps talking about it, which is even more lame.

This dude's twitter is gold.

 

[iamjs]

LaBar is **** LaGarbage. Why would HHH care who is sitting near him?

99.99% of WWE's audience have no idea who DJ Bonics is, and even less know who LaBar is.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Am i missing something on this Labar guy? :laugh;

Also, People are reporting that Miz was injured during a match with swagger and immediately limped backstage post-match.

Looks like Ryder was a shoe in even with neville

 

[Emperoreddy]

ADR is apparently hurt as well. Though only sitting out house shows. Still ok to work TV

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I don't know who LaBar is but I already want to slap him.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

labar is a wrestling "media" personality on twitter, who constantly defends everything WWE does and how we are all stupid for complaining because we don't understand the business and so on.

he is one of the biggest roman shill's out there amongst other things.

also while discussing PW media, PWI went and stole material from the guy running pro wrestling sheet, who broke the brie bella story a day ago. basically copy and pasted the guys entire article and didn't credit him.

in my experienced PWI is trash

 

[M.C.G. 31]

PWI as in PWInsider, not pro wrestling illustrated.

I didn't know the guy who runs pro wrestling sheet was the big wrestling fan from TMZ.

From the very limited exposure to Labar's stuff, I'm pretty sure he doesn't understand the business if he spouts what he does and claims the fans online don't understand.
