Open WWE/NXT/Pro Wrestling thread

[*FreeFua*]

Damn... I knew WWE was going to turn to sh!t when Rollins went down but I didn't think he'd get this bad. These guys seriously don't have a hot clue which direction they're going with anything right now. I actually fell asleep during FastLane, what a terrible PPV.

They just spent an entire RAW episode working on storylines for Roadblock instead of building up WM matches. 

They apparently just changed the Harper/Lesnar match at Roadblock to Lesnar/Wyatt. It's a damn shame what they're doing with Wyatt still. God forbid they use someone under the age of 40 that can wrestle and actually talk on the mic (which is very rare these days). If they stick Wyatt in the Andre Battle Royal at WM just because I'm going to be choked. At the very least stick him in the IC (I assume ladder) match.

Is it possible HHH retains at WM? Unless they can turn Reigns into a heel by Mania I think it's best that HHH wins obviously. But nothing the WWE has done in the last couple years has made sense so I'm done trying to predict anything.

Trips performance contract ends March 31st. So we'll kinda know the plans before hand by how far they extend his contract.

Ah I didn't know that, hopefully they extend it or the little suspense that there is will be gone before the match begins.

Vince did say HHH/Steph would "quit" if Shane wins at WM, maybe those two are planning to take a little break after Mania. With the rumoured brand split supposedly happening after Mania it'd make sense for them to dissapear for a bit with Shane running Raw.

What are your guys' predictions for other matches at WM?

 

I keep seeing New Day vs League of Nations but it sure looks like they're building towards a New Day vs Y2AJ. Also like to add that Jericho needs to get in shape, needs to get that gut under control. 

Dudleyz vs Uso's in a table match but that looks like it'll be a pre show match. 

Triple threat for Divas championship is an obvious one. 

They seem to be pushing Ryback right now in all the house shows and on Raw Monday. Maybe him vs Strowman? 

Im guessing they do a 6 person ladder for IC with Zigler (who like Wyatt should be getting pushed or have a sense of direction), sadly the Miz, maybe Wyatt? Possibly that Sami Zayn guy who's rumoured to be making his debut at Mania. Maybe AJ Styles if they're not going for tag titles. Sure wish they'd stick guys like Finn Balor and Apollo Crews in this match. Balor and Crews in the IC division would boost the IC title big time. I'm not a Kevin Owens fan. 

What you guys got?

Word is Charlitte is loosing the belt at WM, think Ambrose wins against Brock. Reigns over Trips, Owens in the IC match. Y2AJ over New Day till next PPV. Uso's over Dudleys.

Ambrose is killing it right now.

But I am afraid they are using Ambrose just to get heel heat for HHH so people will stop cheering him and maybe cheer for Reigns.

As an Ambrose fan I am glad that he is getting more focus, but it is irritating that WWE keeps blatantly using Ambrose's popularity to try and transfer it to Reigns rather than just run with the guy the fans actually wants.

I kinda expect a dusty finish with no real winner and maybe Reigns comes to save Ambrose after the match to try and get some cheers.

It is kind of funny and kind of sad how hard they are trying to get Reigns over.  Unsuccessfully.

Because

Wwe plans haven't changed, no title changes this weekend. On another note, Reigns is currently scheduled to be WWE's top babyface and in the title picture through WM34.

Forgot how freakin' funny these guy were.  

[party_animal]

Saw roadblock finally. Lol @ EnzoEnzo, Cass, and Sami getting a bigger reaction than anyone not named Triple H. Vince needs to open his ears. He has money making talent and it's not Roman Reigns.

I watched entrances from Royal Rumble 1998 and Undertaker got a pop that you'll never ever hear again unless they start pumping crowd noise into the arenas

Also happy Stone Cold day

We're a little over a week out from "the biggest Wrestlemania of all time," and this thread hasn't been updated since March 16th. Great build, WWE.

NXT: Dallas, though...

Yeah.  This Wrestlemania sucks.  The title match is a babyface that garners more boos than most heels vs a 46 year old

What appears to be marketed as the "main event" is going to to be two part timers, one who isnt a wrestler vs a guy who is way past his prime and wrestles maybe once or twice a year.

Not only that they have a confusing storyline that isnt fleshed out and makes no sense and is contradictory.  For example, I feel like the storyline leads me to want Shane to win because they promise the end of The Authority and big changes to RAW (which I wont believe until I see it), but if Shane wins he is retiring The Undertaker.  The Undertaker probably should retire honestly, but that isnt sonething i want to root for 

Not to mention, if Shane wins couldnt he just reinstate Undertaker?  That added stipulation makes no sense.

So if Shane loses, that sucks because RAW will remain the same with the tired old shtick of the heel authority that never seems to get any real comeuppance, but if Undertaker loses he is supposedly gone forever.  It is a lose lose match for the fans.

Right now only 4 things about Wrestlemania weekend have me interested.  Lesnar v Ambrose.  Triple threat divas title match, NXT: Dallas, and smarkamania (for those who dont know that is what the RAW after Wrestlemania is known as) to see who returns and debuts (Bayley and Balor Club?)

[Zaximus]

WTF is this Int. Title nonsense?  I want a Zayn vs Owens match, with ladders, where Owens actually either loses normally or wins clean.   They got scrubs in that match now.

I really want a Styles vs Owens feud, those matches have been great, but I guess we have to finish Jericho's run, not that that match won't be decent.

The rest, I don't know.  I want the Brock vs Dean match to be good but I worry they'll do something dumb like have the Wyatt's come out.   I have little faith honestly.
