I don't buy the triple threat angle. Sami doesn't get to jump the line just because he's the most mad.

I think this is setting up for a Roman win at Mania, forcing Cody to recalibrate and chase longer.

You are completely right in "WWE Creative think" and it is exactly what is going to happen and we all know it. It just would be nice for them to think outside the box once in a while. My plan gets them where they want to be anyway, but still throws a bone to the fans.

WWE “throws a bone to the fans”? They’ve been throwing at us for 20+ years. The only difference is the monkey flinging it.

 

[Courtjester]

Ergo they have the least interesting talent in the WWE attack Zami tonight.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Apparently A&W Dynamite gonna be here in Phoenix next week. The main event? Wheelie Yuta and Orange Juice. Only reason I knew was from attending Suns game last week.

With headliners like that, they're sure to burst right through a new major market

Tiny had another Twitter meltdown over the weekend

This is Tony's shiny toy let him play!

It's clobberin bed time.

And Ariel just put him to sleep

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Ergo they have the least interesting talent in the WWE attack Zami tonight.

You don't want someone to lose their job but I think they've exhausted everything to get him over since his NXT lone wolf gimmick. It's not happening as is. No one cares at all about him.

They've either got to sit him on sidelines and hope he can regrow hair and try the lone wolf gimmick (where at least he had a unique look and he didn't talk) or have him on the post-Mania chopping block

 

[DJackson10]

It just shows how non-flexible WWE creative is. A perfect story line would have been a triple threat match for the belt at WM with Cody, RR and Sami. I know this would leave KO and the USO's without a booked match, but have KO and them feuding outside the ring throughout this match, WM is too freaking long anyway.

Fake an RR injury in the match and let Sami win. The crowd gets their moment. The next night on Raw make it Cody vs Sami in a rematch and a magically healed RR and the USOs interfere and Cody wins the title. KO comes down and defends Sami against the after the match beating and THEN you can run the USO's vs KO/Sami tag team story line and work the Cody vs RR angle (which is what the company wants anyway). You get to the point where we are ultimately going to be at after WM with what we all know is the plan, but you throw a bone to the fans for their Sam love.

But I guess that makes too much sense with this company.

U give them too much credit. WWE hired Hollywood writers. Non of them no a **** about wrestling. About 4-5 yrs ago we went over a storyline WWE was doing. I created a whole storyline that made sense and wasn't even watching religiously. It was far better then anything WWE had. Hell I've done 2K storylines with better results then the main WWE stuff.

He was over for like a minute in NXT. The whole count to see how long a guy lasted ended up getting old and then the crowd turned on him.

Agree. Personally, I don't think neither Cody or Sami are worthy of the beating Roman rub.

I have to agree with this. But then, I don't know who would be worthy on the roster right now. If the WWE Universe was more knowledgeable, Jay White could be that guy. Cody could be, but he needs to, as others said, chase longer. Feels like he just got here, due to the injury and really only feuding with Rollins.

On the current roster, I think Rollins or Cody could be the guy at SummerSlam. Either one can level up by then. It's ironic, but Sami Zayn is much more Dusty Rhodes than Cody...Sami and KO can always buzz around the title when they need a one-off, and they can constantly feud with portions of the top faction.

In 2-3 years, I think we have Gunther as champion with face Roman chasing...

And in between those unicorns? Can we forget Beaver Cleavage, the Paul and Katie Lea Burchill incest story, Katie Vick and Trips going all racist on Booker T? What about nearly 20 years of every...single...RAW opening with a long, boring *** promo segment? What about the illogical, nonsense booking that Vince had, the inability to make new stars and relying on the old fogies to pop a rating? So, yes, my point still stands.

Beaver Cleavage was 1999.
Katie Vick was 2002.
HHH vs Booker T was 2003 and barely qualifies as last 20 years.

You're comparing a bad era from 20-25 years ago with a vastly superior current product that now has a different person in charge.

"Jump in line"? This story has been going on for quite some time and they had the PERECT setup to finish it. A Sami win in Montreal!

If anyone is cutting the line its Cody. He came back, got hurt, missed several months and then is rocketed right back into the main event. Trash. And I like him.

Apparently Vince is back in Creative Control. It was fun while it lasted WWE.

TK Announcement!!!!!

Adam Cole Bey Bey major Announcement

March weekly 1 hour Television series AEW All Access. Behind the scenes type show after Dynamite

Another Good news

Same night as All Access Adam Cole makes his In Ring Return.

 

[coyote5]

I'm pretty much out on AEW. I tried. For 3 yrs I tried. But TKs wrestling vision ain't mine and I accept that . When you put a strap on a guy like Yuta and try to push him as some bad *** when he is legit one of the scrawniest, anemic looking talents... I just can't suspend the disbelief. It generally looks like a bunch of teens out there cosplaying wrestler with a few men sprinkled in.

Watched the "legends -NWO" show today.
Amazing how Hogan's Ego, Bischof's ego, along with Sting's last second decision not to kick out killed not only the NWO, but ultimately ended the WCW.

Hard to say if anything will top that storyline. It was one of the most moments ever when the outsiders storyline started.

Amazing how Hogan's Ego, Bischof's ego, along with Sting's last second decision not to kick out killed not only the NWO, but ultimately ended the WCW.

Hard to say if anything will top that storyline. It was one of the most moments ever when the outsiders storyline started.

What happened there?

After 12+ months of build up to have Sting take on Hogan, the plan had been to have Sting, who was now wearing the white face with black overcoat look, to win the title.
Should have started a battle between the Sting faction vs. NWO. But the day of the show Hogan, who had creative control, said no..

So Bischoff came up with a dumb plan to have an almost pin and kick out by Sting, then have the ref do a quick 3 count to cause controversy.
But instead of kicking out, Sting took the 3 count to the shock of Hogan (you can see it on his face).

Next thing you know, Bret the hitman Heart comes out and attacks, ref is knocked out the ring, and Sting pins Hogan, and hitman does the 3 count.
Confused the crowd, and the Audience, who turned Bishoff the next week.

Ratings started diving and soon after Vince jumps in and buys WCW.

Sorry, I should have been more specific (I watched that whole year, and watched the PPV, and was with everyone saying wtf just happened?). I mean, what was behind Sting's decision not to kick out? Just to cause chaos and mess up EB's plan? Or...?

 

[hagmania]

I think the WON Awards are fair, considering I agree with AEW being the better product for 75% of the year. Roman/Mox is a close one; I think what puts Mox over the edge is all the great appearances he had on Indy cards. Roman totally worthy of winning though imo.

Triple H going to lock up 2023 Promoter of the Year unless the word that Vince is back in control is true. Who knows, though, maybe Vince was always in charge in the background.

Plenty of blame to go around for how that went down. Bischoff's decision got worse and worse as time went on despite having an absolutely loaded roster, Sting showed up not in ring shape, and despite him having no issues putting people over in that era, Hogan, who put Luger over months earlier by losing via submission and then put Goldberg over cleanly the following summer, clearly didn't want to take a clean loss to Sting that night.

I think what got Moxley it was the sheer fact he was suppose to go on Vacation when the whole All out Brawl got going. TK asked if he could stay and Moxley did. The Indie shows help for sure though

Never really said.. Hogan and Bischoff said Sting was suppose to kick out... Sting just kinda when asked. But they arrived that night of the ppv planning on Sting winning, then Hogan said no and everyone scrambled.

I heard for a few people and don't quote me but had Sting had more trust in Vince and WWF to protect the Sting Crow Character he could've jumped shipped to the Federation during the Monday Night Wars but was into deep with WCW and like Tommy Dreamer being the face of ECW he was going down with his ship and stayed loyal to the end. However if WWF had come with huge money and given his drug and alocohol addictions back then they wouldn't have been shocked if he jumped shipped. Steve ended up staying home during the Invasion storyline as he didn't have trust of Vince with his character.

Based on how everything played out it's safe to say he made the right decision. Then again WWF was ****ed because WCW had guys on payroll making huge money who decided they could stay home and collect their big checks rather then be on WWF programming. NWO and others had guaranteed deals so they sat at home so WWF couldn't threaten to fire them with the threat of the stars loosing money. Bischoff wasn't involved until mid millennium because WWF had nothing that excited him or made sense. ECW was also missing people too. Sandman wasn't involved, Raven and Dreamer with the Dudley's were the main guys still in ECW involved but weren't put over well. ECW was used more as Henchmen for the WCW guys outside Dudley's and RVD. It was just a huge cluster ****. The other reason was Vince wanted WWF to look great and embarrass he 2 companies he purchased. it backfired given the lack of star power the competition had and just made WWF look like the bully in 8th grade who was picking on the 3rd grader.

They could've done some cool things too. Teasing Sting and NWO partnering to NWO going back to WWF or even Sting crossing over. They could've played more off of Jericho jumping back to WCW/ECW, among other things. Teased a Sting Taker Kane trio etc. NWO could've been the main stable in the WWF vs Alliance at SummerSlam too instead of Austin jumping over you could get Jericho stuff like that.

It was just overall bad managing. The Invasion and how Bischoff ran WCW are just great examples of terrible booking and use of economical resources.

2 yrs ago yesterday AEW held their Revolution PPV. This would be the last live PP for over a Year when the Pandemic hit. The fact that so many companies went out of business do to this and a company in its infancy was managed to hold on deserves a lot of credit especially Shida and Moxley for carrying the two biggest titles and working without live fans or very little fans for a long time.

We can also thank The Pandemic for giving us Heel Roman and Vince being oblivious to his surroundings. Roman threatened to not come back to WWE do to being immune compromised from having Leukemia. Do to the lack of protocols WWE were not following this concerned Roman and his family and also led to the USOs voicing displeasure to Vince. Jey had specifically mentioned he'd wrestle with a mask on if he had too, to get his point across which triggered Vince. Roman had also been talking to Jon Moxley who was staying at his house in FL when AEW did their tapings. Roman and Mox are very close and Mox had told Roman about the AEW protocols being followed so Roman was very safe letting his friend in his house.

There Roman voiced his frustration to Moxley about not being heel in WWE. Moxley told Cody and TK about the situation and that Roman had told him if they had something really good for him in AEW he'd do whatever to get out of his WWE deal and go to AEW. In Fact Roman was already talking to his lawyers on an argument to void his WWE contract. One of them was workplace safety and Roman not feeling safe to return to WWE do to his health issues and WWE not following protocols. Cody and TK told Mox to tell Roman if he wanted to come he was more then welcomed and they had big plans for him to debut as a monster heel top guy if he came on board. When Vince called Roman he told Vince he'd get out of his deal if he had too and go elsewhere. Vince not wanting to lose his biggest star since Cena asked Roman what he wanted.

First he told him he wanted WWE to place better protocols for COVID 19 especially with NXT running shows and talent bringing friends and family constantly to shows as well as testing. Vince agreed. Next he wanted to have less live Dates when WWE went back on the road. Agreed. He then proposed Paul Heyman as his manager. Done deal. As a sweater Vince decided he'd give him both Titles and turn him unstoppable. Finally Roman wanted to work more with his family and pay tribute to the Samoan dynasty overall.

And there folks is how you have WWE's best angle in Years thanks to Vince's ignorance, a pandemic and his top star threatening to pull a CM Punk and walk out on him.

Sonya Deville was arrested for gun possession. She has a permit in Florida, but not in NJ. She started carrying after home invasion.

This will get dropped. NJ has weird gun laws. Basically a lot of my friends who carry if they go through jersey thy need to have it locked in a case and unloaded. Most people if they are going to NY or Boston in my area will go the longer way to avoid any issues in Jersey. I don't want to make a story here on what should and shouldn't be Gun laws but I think this is another example of why we need universal gun laws in this country to avoid incidents like this and everyone stays on the same age

Brock Lesnar turned down a match with Bay Wyatt at Mania. Good on his part because the Wyatt stuff has been godawful. For whatever reason Brock Vs Gunther was stoked

Bray has been a mess since his return. His first backwoods cult leader was always his best character, plus seems like the easiest to book. Not sure why they hate it.

Brock vs Omos will be terrible. Hopefully under 5 minutes.

Bray is nothing more then an entrance and promo unfortunately. Great guy just terrible character. I think more mature he'd have been good in the attitude era the character

Moxley and Hangman just put on one of the best Death matches I've seen in a long time. That was just brutal and reminiscent of old ECW days and going into GCW. Even Will Osprey loved this.
