The Wrestling Thread

Good rumble.

Goldberg sucks though.

 

With how all the matches went last night I'm disappointed that they saw Orton as the winner.

I think from now to WrestleMania feuds are going to be rushed and skimmed over just so Cena can break the record by somehow getting involved in the Viper V Buzzards.

Having someone like Jericho win instead would have made more sense as it would require less messing around with other wrestlers arcs and could quite easily set up a straight forward, simple but no doubt entertaining feud between Owens and Jericho.

The rumble really sucked the momentum of the night right out for me and if not for the quality of other matches this would have been a * ppv

 

Love the long ramp and walk down to the ring.

Glad Anderson and Gallows finally won the tag titles.

Womens match was good as usual with any match Charlotte is in. Great way to win the match. Best womens champion in a long time.

Universal title match next. Owens is fantastic! Superman punch and the stunner on Reigns. Big Braun Strowman saves the day! Brilliant match!

Ambrose and Zayn. 8. Not wait its unsidedown. 8. Brilliant.

Cruiserweight title match i didn't really watch as i wasn't interested. Knew Neville would win as a title had to change hands. His submission is ace!

Aj out before Cena. Shouldn't be the champ out first. Wow. Outstanding match. Better than Owens vs Reigns. What a ending. Cena deserves that moment. Amazing.
Based on that Cena win i think Taker will 100% win the RR now. We shall see though!

Good to have the King back for calling the RR. Jericho sets a new record as longest combined time ever. Mark Henry is a surprise entrant! Big Show looks amazing!
Best shape of his career. Couldn't believe Strowman got eliminated by Corbin? Thought Reigns would come out and get some revenge.
Enzo just about snapped in half by Lesnar. Goldberg putting Lesnar out straight away wasn't a surprise. Taker face to face with Goldberg was awesome!
Taker eliminates Goldberg! Brilliant. Fans went a bit silent after that though... Until number 30! How the * is Reigns in the RR? That is bullshit.
Aj Styles should be in it too then. Stupid decision. Then he goes and eliminates Undertaker. Didn't see that coming.

Orton winning was ok.... Would of rathered Jericho, Bray or Taker.

 

He can lose it on smackdown as well

 

This is the thing now unless the wait until the next WrestleMania that is, is that Cena looks nailed on to get the record now.

Which really makes Orton winning question just how are going to get to that point as Orton and bray deserve a WrestleMania title match.

Orton's win just really * up any natural development to WrestleMania as you know Bray has to be getting his hands on the tittle but then Cena will just be badly written in between it somehow that he then gets involved in it to get the record at WrestleMania.

 

llf at Mark Henry

 

Two moves of doom.

 

Looking back I thought Cena v Styles was excellent, they two work so well together.

No way is Cena dropping the title at Elimination Chamber.

 

Samoa Joe that is all

 

Your Sig is * fantastic

 

Why you guys talking about Cena vs Orton it's been pretty much nailed on Wyatt vs Orton for months, hence why they've put so much focus on the feud.

My guess is Wyatt will win at EC with possibly Samoa Joe * Cena.

 

Cheers, all credit goes to @Paul67

 

Also there's far too much Roman Reigns hate in this thread.

 

I don't hate him, mainly because hating wrestlers is for 10 year olds. He's just boring as * character wise due to Vince positioning him as the next white meat face.

 

For me the card is getting pretty clear in terms of the "big matches".

Goldberg vs Lesnar for the universal title (Goldberg wins it off KO at fastlane).
Bray Wyatt vs Randy Orton for the WWE title.
Rollins vs HHH
Reigns vs Undertaker

I think these 4 are nailed on and will be built as the 4 major matches.

 

Don't know what will happen on Raw can't see Owens v Jericho for title at WM?

Disappointed no surprises apart from super Reigns get no.30

My guess for Mania

Cena vs Orton
Rollins vs HHH
Taker vs Reigns ( turning him a bit heel)
Owens v Y2J
Wyatt vs Harper
Flair vs Bailey vs Jax vs Banks
Miz vs Bryan

Don't see the point of Styles vs Ambrose would rather Styles forces a move to Raw an Balor returns an start a fued

 

That sounds good to me but i just can't see them putting the belt on Cena for only two weeks then taking it back off him, surely they'll give him a bit of a run with it.

 

Enjoyed the Aj-Cena match the most.

The Main Event wasn't the greatest.

Roman is a *.
