Twilight Sparkle Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 3 hours ago, g_bassi13 said: Combination boos and apathy for Reigns. Apathy was the running theme through the night. Sucks, but they didn't do anything to get them charged up. Their chants were even uncoordinated when they tried though. Like they could make noise for AJ Styles, but couldn't even give him a unified chant when he/they were literally asking for it. The beatdown of HHH was the worst offender in this regard. Just dead silence as Roman was he appeared, as he attacked him, and as HHH escaped. Then boos as they closed in on his face. Worst of both worlds in that kind of reaction. People seem to like that Roman that just beats up people, but when you have in the same show, that opening segment telling Stephanie to "Shhhhh" and that he's "The Authority now," they're not going to get anywhere with anything. I mean it was pretty much confirmed to be too little too late after right after Fast Lane, so there's nothing to really salvage here. Even Ambrose got that "boring" chant for his part of being put into a "main event" match with Braun Strowman, which that crowd wanted nothing to do with. Crowd made a lot of people look irrelevant though, almost all of whom I like, just by being silent. But like I said before, it's not their job to make noise and enjoy. When a naturally and traditionally loud crowd sits on their hands, you're probably doing something wrong they could have done a lot better given the city they were in. my fantasy booking would have looked like, have reigns come out for the opening promo, whatever, and instead of that beat down, they could have easily set up reigns with the story that triple h wasn't going to be there and have reigns waiting, but gets beaten down in a trap. sure, it'll get a pop from the crowd, but it's the story that they're trying to tell for this guy to get over. that scene of him standing at the gate all michael myers like was total BS-- a poor execution of trying to make this guy look like a badass. wwe is so afraid of the crowd reactions, it's insane. they're trying as hard as they can to protect this guy, but it's never going to work. i can see reigns turning at mania, but it's such an easy out for them. there's been such poor build up for this title run and such poor character development, that even turning him heel, no one will give a ****, until rollins comes back as a face, or you put ambrose in there, who is a believable character that people can relate to. maybe then, you'll have people getting behind reigns as a heel if you have either ambrose or rollins chasing-- but a face reigns champion, theres no point in having anyone being a heel against him, since everyone is just going to cheer for whoever is challening reigns, which is why i believe reigns turns at wrestlemania. only way to do that is have the rock endorse him as the champion and reigns spears him in half. something to get some real heat on the guy, or they do taker/shane on last, then you have reigns help undertaker win, authority wins again, and you have reigns join the authority, and thats a way to keep taker from being "fired." what you do after that, i dont know. im too drunk to go ahead several months for a storyline. thats what they have michael hayes for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was more of a comment of how they could take someone hot like Ambrose, in front of one of the loudest crowds in America, and put him in a situation where the crowd couldn't care. I mean it was third hour of an underwhelming event. The WWE really gave them nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the last outlaw Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Speaking of Strowman, some fan tried to attack him during the dark match. The fan allegedly tried to punch him in the face and he pointed out the fan to security, who escorted the fan out. Harper was apparently injured during dark match. A fan on reddit is claiming to have seen Harper at the gym asked him about his injury, and Harper told the fan he has a torn acl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the last outlaw Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Sting did interview with wwe.com talking about his health. I'm still hoping Sting will be the one to help Shane at WM. The next night on Raw Sting is about to official announce his retirement when The Undertaker interrupts and confronts him about getting involved and sticking his nose in his business. Undertaker challenges Sting a match. While Vince said if Undertaker loses at WM, it will be his last Mania. It's not as if he will be his last match. Vince could also be about to or does "fire" Undertaker only for Shane to re-hire him. It's likely Cena will be the one to help Shane setting up Cena vs.Undertaker at SummerSlam since it was suppose to happen at WM and then got nixed with Cena getting injured. Quote WWE.COM: During interviews you have given in recent months you revealed that surgery was on the table as a potential option in the wake of the spinal injuries you sustained during your Night of Champions 2015 match with Seth Rollins. Did you ultimately have surgery? STING: I actually did not have surgery. Two neurologists [Dr. Joseph Maroon and one in Houston] were saying the same thing. The side effects you're supposed to have, I'm not really having any. I'm feeling good [and] completely normal. WWE.COM: With that in mind, it had been reported that you were diagnosed with spinal stenosis. Is that diagnosis now inaccurate? STING: I am not saying that is inaccurate. I'm agreeing there probably is spinal stenosis or cervical spinal stenosis. I have had certain doctors tell me, "You know, so many athletes of all ages, they've got this. They deal with it to some degree or another." I had one doctor here tell me, "You're fine, you're okay -- you don't have anything to worry about." And then wrestlers say, "I'd see this doctor." "No, I'd see this one over there." I'm telling you, it's just craziness. So I'm thinking, as long as I'm feeling good, why am I going to do anything? And the one thing everyone has said is don't go under the knife unless you absolutely have to. WWE.COM: Had you not had this injury setback last September, do you think we would have you seen performing at WrestleMania this year? Or, is that just too tough a question to answer because of all the variables? STING: Oh no, it's an easy one to answer: Yes. If I had my way, yes, of course. I would have loved to have done one more WrestleMania and I would have called it quits at that point. The Undertaker match -- that's what I wanted to do. WWE.COM: Had there been any early discussions prior to the injury of what your role could be at WrestleMania 32? Or, was it just something that you had in your mind? STING: Yes, it was in my mind, of course, but everyone knew that I definitely wanted to have that one match. And, of course, WrestleMania would have been the place to do it. But, I got hurt and the rest is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the last outlaw Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) 20 hours ago, Twilight Sparkle said: that beat down, i went to rock a piss. i have no time for that, and hearing stephs screams like triple h was being stabbed by an unknown masked man, confirmed just how hoaky it all is. that reigns promo was just so god awful with the garbage these people write for this guy. "i'm the authority now" the crowd's just like "uuuughhh." you just can not take this guy seriously when he talks. he was a pretty good promo back in nxt but his character is dead on the main roster Steph screaming was totally ridiculous. It was like HHH was getting murdered. Totally over the top. Didn't Steph, HHH or whoever was driving the vehicle didn't bother to check if the doors were locked when the garage down went up and Roman is standing there. Roman has been acting heelish since he returned. All the beat downs and attacks on HHH. Even the way Roman has been talking and intereacting with short, brief and to the point. "I'm the authority". We may see a double turn at WM. I think HHH or Steph will name a Special Guest Referee or Special Enforcer to stack the deck more in H's favor. Wouldn't be surprised to see HHH retain at WM. Either way and no matter the outcome at WM, I can see Roman with post-match beatdown of HHH and possible doing something to Steph too. The Rock even tries to reason with Roman and Roman turns on Rock and beats his ass too. Edited March 23, 2016 by the last outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Turning Roman heel is the one thing that could save Joe Anoa'i's WWE Run; but only if he buys into it sincerely, no more charity events, no being a nice guy outside of events; he has to go full, old school, hardcore heel, he needs to walk around a little bit pissed off all the time, be short and a dick to fans, rip up signs, take cheap heat in promos....there is hope, but man is it ever a slim chance.

Xavier/Austin is a damn smart dude, I'm glad he's a gamer as well; I was really sold on New Day as soon as I heard Xavier playing Final Fantasy's Victory Fanfare on the trombone for the first time. If you haven't checked out UpUpDownDown on youtube, I would - they have ALOT of WWE/Game Crossovers, Tournaments with WWE Superstars, short vids getting to know a bit about them. guys like Sandow, Axel, Swagger, Brad Maddox, Sasha Banks, Seth Rollins, Neville, to name a few, There are more.

the last outlaw Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Former WWE writer believes The Rock will help New Day at WM. That would be quite the rub for them. Quote During an interview with WrestlingInc.com, former WWE writer Court Bauer mentioned that he believes The Rock will be involved in The New Days match against The League of Nations. I think its going to be a New Day for the Rock. I think hes going to help those guys out, because theyre a man short on that deal, and I think its a cool way to give those guys a rub, Bauer said. Bauer said that the spot isnt certain yet, and The Rock could very well end up being inserted into the Hell in a Cell or WWE World Heavyweight Championship matches on the show as well.

the last outlaw Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 News on WM main event. Quote According to PWtorch the word going out is that HHH wants ShaneVsTaker to go on last as the true main event closing Wrestlemania 32. However it's Vince that wants HHH and Reigns to close the show for the WWE championship. HHH isn't sold on his main event because the original plans for Reigns isn't working and the story isn't progressing or being told how they wanted it to, he now believes it's a weaker story compared Takers career and Raw power on the line. They've been getting into heated arguments backstage and it's worrying some people who worry for Vince's health that this mania has been the most stressful for him in recent years.

the last outlaw Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Sting hints at one last match. Give this man the match he truly wants and reason he signed with WWE. People want to see it, it would sell aton and make WWE lots of money. I'm one of the people, who wants to see this match. Don't care if the match is ok, decent or bad. Quote On if he still wants to face The Undertaker: Uh, yeah. Ive been very outspoken about that. Still a dream of mine. On rumors that hell be retiring from pro wrestling: That is one of those rumors floating around, yes. [laughs] TMZ put something out and, again, I still have a dream inside of me. And its not dead yet. On his Hall of Fame induction: Well, its very exciting. Very humbling. A little scary in some ways. [laughs] And also just a real honor.

the last outlaw Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Brie is retiring sooner then expected due to Daniel Bryan health issue. Quote ProWrestlingSheet.com is reporting that Brie Bella is planning to retire from the ring sooner than expected. Originally, it was expected that she would retire in the summer but she is now expected to be done as an in-ring performer after Wrestlemania. It's believed that her decision to retire sooner is partly due to Daniel Bryan. Apparently there is no bad blood between Bryan and WWE and Bryan was pulled from recent events such as Axxess due to a health issue. Sources told Ryan Satin that Bryan's health issue is why Brie wasn't at this week's RAW. Brie is expected to continue appearing on Total Divas and will have an ambassador role in the company.
