I love Daniel Bryan, and I want him to be champ again at some point, but I don't like that idea for so many reasons. Lesnar will kill him, I worry fans will start to turn on him making his way into the WM main event twice lime this, and he's probably going to have to job to Reigns so Lesnar doesn't look bad.
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

I agree for the most part.  Bryan definitely won't win.  However I don't see the point of building up Lesnar to be this monster if he doesn't end up putting someone over.  Especially if he's leaving.

I'm not going to turn on Daniel Bryan, but to be honest, at this point, I think I'd rather see Reigns vs. Lesnar as planned than see Bryan shoehorned into that match because the fans threw another fit. 
Sincerely,
Jaffa

The thing for me is that Lesnar has been built up so far, breaking The Undertaker's WM streak of over two decades, and crushing the top guy of the past decade, Cena on multiple occasions.
So I'm not buying that Roman Reigns, who has only had like 1 PPV match since becoming a singles wrestler and just came back from injury, is going to defeat Lesnar with a punch and a tackle.
To be fair, I don't really buy anyone beating Lesnar cleanly at this point, so having a triple threat gives them an out there. Reigns is not going to get over with Bryan and Lesnar in the same ring though.

Jaffa, I agree. I don't want Bryan shoehorned in either, and while its good that they do listen to fans at some point, they go about it wrong and it doesn't benefit anyone.

I only marginally keep up with wrestling anymore, but my brother is religious about it.  He said that in his opinion, the biggest problem in the WWE right now is actually Lesnar, because he is so much better in the ring than anyone else.  He is such a beast that he has no real competition.  How accurate is that?
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

For somebody who doesn't even really like wrestling, it's unreal how good Lesnar is. He just adds such a realism to his matches that is unmatched by anyone.  I hope he sticks around past WM

Definitely not better than everyone else, no.  As far as workers go, I wouldn't put him in the top 10.  But the WWE has build him up to he this unstoppable monster, so he's still over

He needs some more moves though. He actually had a move set 10 years ago. Now he just does German suplexes and maybe a clothesline.

Well........... it doesn't look like Rollins will be cashing in the briefcase and winning the title any time soon. Probably back to the mid card for him for the next couple of years now, even though they desperately need him with Lesnar leaving.

It seems as if Reigns is turning heel, and it's already working for the better. The heel attitude is already paying off for his promos, and both him and Bryan had a pretty good opening segment this week. And Bryan used the W word! He said WRESTLING! I'm guessing Vince didn't write that. :lol

Yeah I was pretty happy about last night.  REALLY sucks about Rollins though.  2015 was definitely gonna be his year.  Looks like he'll be tagging with Tyson Kidd in 6 months.

If this was a few years ago they would've worked it into the storyline. Now I'm not so sure, I hope they don't stop his push because of this.

There's no way WWE would acknowledge it on air in the current PG era. HHH basically said Chyna isn't in the hall of fame because she did the porn stuff, and they didn't want young fans looking her up and seeing it associated with them. I imagine they'll want to distance themselves from this incident too.
Just how badly it affects Rollins, we'll have to wait and see. It would have to hurt their immediate plans for him, I would think.

What happened?

A nude pic of some NXT chick was posted on Seth Rollin's Twitter, and then his fiance posted nude pics of him on her Twitter in retaliation. It's all been deleted now, but the pics and tweets are circulating. He says he was hacked, but who knows what actually happened.

this is the same fed that allowed Orton to keep rolling despite 2 failed drug tests and doing stuff like taking a dump in a diva's purse. If the person is money... the fed will protect him.

Good thing I didn't like him much. He's a good worker, but I just don't like his character. And if he's a cheating bastard, I don't have much respect for him anyway as a person.

the sting/hhh build has got to be the lamest thing I've ever seen.

You wait like 100 years for sting to finally work a program in the WWE and he literally just comes out on the ramp, points and turns around and walks away. Then last night, it just reads "I accept". For the love of god, do something

Its a shame I don't have insomnia, cause this shit's betting than ambien.

I think it's been building perfectly.  WM31 is still 2 months away.  Plenty of time.  Can't blow their wad too early.

Remember too back in 97, the Sting/Hogan build was like a year long

NXT in about 20 minutes. This could be the best WWE related show of WM season.... if not the whole year.

I watched NXT Takeover. Balor vs Neville was solid, the women's match was quite good, and the title match got better as it went on. Zayn really knows how to sell. Owens is really good for a big guy too, better than the ones they've got on the main show.
The match with the Luchas was painful though. Those guys botched pretty much everything.

The way he takes those whips to the corner, and his reaction to the big chop in the middle of the ring, just great.

Looks like they set Owens up as the Brock lesnar of NXT, and I have no problem with that.

The 3 main matches were all fucking fantastic! And I'll add to all the love for Zayn selling, he's perfect at it! Even with the pins he's great at selling them, everytime someone pins him early in a match he'll always kick out at 1; as the match wears on his kick out get delayed more and more.

I laughed in just stupid amazement at how effortless Owens made that swanton bomb or whatever it was look.
Joe and I in the same squad is basically the virtual equivalent of us plowing a rape van through an elementary school playground at recess.

I know they won't, and I've mentioned it before, but they should totally open WM31 with Balor vs Owens.

NJPW update: Honma vs Ishii is a must watch match (from New Beginning in Sendai)
i don't even like dt but i had keyboard and an ipad so what the fuck
Jordan is actually DT's tax advisor. He just happens to do their taxes on stage, that's why he has that iPad there.

I was going to watch that PPV, but it appeared to be such a damn long event. Not that it's not worth it, but that's a lot of wrestling!

Yeah, we're over 3 hours at this point, but that's including an intermission. And really, I'd only say Honma/Ishii is the only thing watching from this one.

I might have to get it and just skim it. After Wrestle Kingdom, I was expecting the skip percentage on this one to be low.
