Royal Rumble BIF

Yeah I would be really shocked if Undertaker was in the rumble.

Question: if you had Brock Lesnar for limited dates why would four of his six matches be against HHH and Big Show?

 

Dont you know that HHH and Big Show are the future of the WWE?

 

I don't think big slow or Mark Henry is a good fit to face Lesnar. Guess he needs a match before WM. WWE need to make some main eventers, maybe put Reigns over Orton, Ziggler over Brock ( just examples) but WWE part times like Brock fights big fights. He's not a Jericho and isn't gonna put any young guys over. He's an Event all himself so I believe we're Leaning towards a Cena vs Brock II at WMXXX. Plus the fact I read a while back Brock was guaranteed a title run in his contract. ( not sure how true this is).

 

Lesnar should squash or at least win very clean over Show, or I don't understand that. I had no problem with facing HHH, but three times was a bit much. Wonder if they will go back to a second match with Punk. If it's Cena Brock at Mania, who faces Taker? Unless they really keep Danial Bryan with the Wyatts till then and have him face Taker. I don't like that direction but that could be where they are going.

 

Lesnar vs Big Show only makes sense if Lesnar destroys him. The match itself is probably fine at the Rumble because its not the main selling point of the PPV. A short no DQ match could be awesome if Big Show takes a lot of bumps.

I am wondering if Lesnar's contract is for 4 or 5 PPVs a year? If its 5, he might win the title at the Chamber. It begs the question, are they setting up a threeway match at mania? Winner of rumble vs champion vs lesnar? I guess I would like this more than Lesnar vs Undertaker.

I also wonder if having Bryan join the Wyatts is a set up for him facing the Undertaker at Mania as a heel? This way the crowd won't cheer against the Undertaker.

Lastly, I read that Hulk Hogan was backstage at Smackdown yesterday! What cha gonna do brother when Hulkamania runs wild over you!!!! I'd actually like one more Hogan match.

 

I think we are already beginning to see a Reigns push. He'd probably be a good bet to win next year's rumble. I could see him throwing out a bunch of people at this years and possibly breaking Kane's record.

I also think Reigns should go over Batista at Mania. Batista will only be around for a few months (I believe) so they should use him to put over someone. I think they are setting up Batista vs Del Rio at the Chamber, which would also Batista to get a win over someone. Then maybe losing at Mania and at Extreme Rules?

I would be perfectly ok with Cena vs Brock at Wrestlemania. Their match last year was awesome. Maybe this time they can have Lesnar beat Cena. Then at Summerslam have Reigns beat Lesnar?

 

I think Shield break up at Rumble, be great if they were the first three in, reigns vs Ambrose at WMXXX. I agree reigns is gonna kick ass at Rumble but not win it. I would love to see Batista vs Lesnar at WMXXX. I believe Batista is gonna be long term, well not part time like lesnar anyways.

 

Poor Rollins if its Reigns vs Ambrose at Mania. I could see them do a triple threat with them. There is a chance they don't officially break up till Mania. Depends if they need a three on three match at Mania, they will probably have some faces with nothing to do at Mania, so there ya go. I think Reigns probably has a good showing at the Rumble, and I could see him eliminating Ambrose for sure. To add to the tension, or to cause the break up.

I think the best guys to pull in this rumble pool:
Bryan - could win
Punk - could win
Reigns - could get most eliminations
Batista - could win
Obviously any surprise guy

Punk and Bryan are always possibilities for longest in the match too.

 

Those are clearly the best bets. I think a threeway match between the shield at mania would be good or even Rollins and Ambrose vs Reigns in a handicapped match. If not Rollins will get left in the dust.

 

That sucks.

The 1st thing I thought when he was potentially signing was: I bet he teams with Cena at WM against HHH/McMahon.

If that does happen, could you imagine how cool it would be if Hogan did a heel turn on Cena at the end of the match and went Corporate???

 

^ Yeah, because what we all need is Hogan on TV, taking more time away from all the young studs they have/need to give time to so they can take over the spotlight when there's no more Cena and the other guys are too old/decrepit to call back to save the day on PPV.

Sorry, if you're a fan of Hogan, but I'd be MORE than fine with a brief appearance, as a guest ref, or even in a skit beating up 3MB or something. But I want no part of seeing him anywhere near competing in a match. And not just because I can't stand the guy, but for his safety also.

(The only way they'd do that is if Hogan came back. He eventually needs to go out as a face, which means he'd be around for a while. I'm sorry. I just can't abide by that. If that was just a joke/off-handed comment, I apologize for the lengthy response.)

 

Just a further reason why it's mind-boggling that Daniel Bryan has had 2 tiny runs with the WWE title.





And of course, it was shown by ESPN. Vince didn't have to pay a damn dime for that exposure. Bryan's popularity is on the STUPID level. If the WWE botches that/him, we should all be done with it.

For $10 a month you can get the WWE network, I'm in. All PPV's including Mania. That's worth the deal right there. I rent everyone every month, that's probably about 625 a yr going to 120 a year. Done deal!

 

Really? DirecTv ?

 

I'm not positive but I read an article saying Directv is cutting ties with WWE. Also went on Charters Cable website and they were promoting it. Starts Feb 24th. $9.99 a month with a six month commitment. also read another site saying it's just an online streaming service. Which would suck, much rather watch it on a 60" TV then a 22" computer screen. Unless can stream through the xbox then that would be sweet.
