Pro Wrestling is FAKE!?!

[Roose13]

Convinced Lesnar destroys Cena, sending him away for a few months. Lesnar holds title hostage or if he threatens to, WWE turns to Batista. A Survivor Series match in a cage or HiaC would be awesome.

At this point what is Batista's appeal aside from lack of options?

Because he's not coming back as Batista ... he's coming back as Drax the Destroyer, because he has very quick reflexes

Would be hilarious if he wrestled in full Drax make up.

I would eat up Batista vs Brock. It is super fresh and batista is entertaining. It is also a super high profile match coming off of the overwhelming success of Guardians.

Batista had said in interviews that he felt like he was just starting to find his groove again before he left. Said it was frustrating because he was getting back into the heel persona and shake the ring rust off.

My money is that if Cena leaves for a while you can cue up I Walk Alone and settle in for a long build towards Batista becoming the Number 1 contender and then facing Brock in November at Survivor Series or in January at the Royal Rumble. About that time Haitch/Reigns should be coming to an end and then you can load Roman into the Rumble, break his record from last year and win.

In fantasy land, I would love for Cena to go away til the Royal Rumble and return with a bad attitude and pick on Dean Ambrose in a rebirth feud for Cena to come out and be an angry, vicious, cold blooded heel. The way to get everyone to turn on Cena is to have him take on the cool faces that the older audience likes. You gotta play them against themselves. Anyone who isn't a mark for heels with be cheering Ambrose. Build Cena/Ambrose towards Wrestlemania. Ambrose goes over, Cena wins the return match at Extreme Rules and becomes the number 1 contender.

Brock/Reigns at 'Mania, Reigns goes over and then you have the return match at Extreme Rules. Reigns goes over again and is set up to face a red hot heel Cena setting the company up for a 4 PPV run leading into Summerslam in NY/NJ. Obviously by this point i am fully expecting Reigns to be competent on the mic and able to hang with Cena.

It sells it self.

Brock has tapped several times.

That's the thing about the Lesnar character, he can fuck you up easily, but he can't take a beating.

[Speilmen230]

It is pro-wrestling. They can overlook that. They didn't once reference the match HHH and Undertaker had at WM X-Seven during the build to their match at WM 27.

It's different now with the Network. People can easily go back and watch him tap like a baby to Kurt.

Bryan needs Tommy John surgery now, too. Jesus Christ.

[Roose13]

Tommy John? What's he gonna pitch in Vince's next sports venture, the XLB?

His doctors are going to try it to try and fix his dead arm.

At least he got his moment in the sun.

[hbktonyb]

At least he doesn't need neck surgery.

Agreed, agreed, and agreed. The response all over the Internet of "this makes my $9.99 worth it" and "this is one of the best documentaries WWE has ever produced" should tell them all they need to know about what direction to go in with their programming on the network.

Pretty solid camera work in this documentary if I do say so myself...

[rdp520]

Finally fri night after smackdown we get the Monday Night Wars show on the network. I've been really looking forward to that. This and stuff like that Shield documentary are things they should be promoting the network with. The whole $9.99 thing is just annoying. However if you are a wrestling fan,it's a great deal.

[ProphetofJit]

I personally love the '$9.99' thing on the regular shows. I don't understand the promoting the 9.99 on the actual PPV's, because, well, if i'm already watching it, then i'm most likely already paying the 9.99 ...

Pretty much my thoughts. This IS the direction of the network as far as i'm concerned. If the brass can't see that this is what will draw people to tune in and keep renewing, then they are as blind as we all think they are.

The sequences with Dean in the desert was phenomenal.

Warrior, Bryan, & Shield specials have all be great.

[jrkarger]

These are worth a few chuckles.

He still does, apparently. This is in addition to neck surgery.

Okay, I LOLed at "All you have to do is Bo-lieve!" and then completely lost my shit at "OOOOOOHHH YEEEEESSSS"

I don't know for sure, but I think that Meltzer is in Campbell, CA so probably didn't feel too much of today's Bay Area quake.
