WWE/TNA/Etc Spoiler Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
21 days between payback and Extreme. Last year they had events to close to each other most events are 26-30 days apart which gives them an extra programming week.

I'm not a fan of all the rematches either but it seems to be the direction they are heading.
 
Decided to rewatch the Zayn/Owens match from last night since it's the only match that is really worth rewatching. It was nice to see both JBL and Cole agree that Owens is a future world champ. When you have both the heel and face announcers agreeing on something like that, it's probably a good sign for your future in the business.

What they really need to do is give Owens the belt at Summerslam and do a slow build to an Owens/Zayn showdown at Wrestlemania for the WWE Title. Have Zayn win the Rumble and then have Owens in a rage spend the next two months trying to destroy him so he's not fit to wrestle in their match. Make that match a Hell in a Cell and give Sami the belt at the end and I think you've put together both one of the greatest feuds of all-time and also one of the greatest Wrestlemania moments when Sami overcomes everything and walks out the champ.
 
Big Cass is gonna be alright without Enzo. Watching Smackdown right now and he can definitely be a star by himself
 
Dude I may have to try not watching RAW and just watching Smackdown. I missed RAW this Monday and Its been really interesting having to watch Smackdown to catch up with what Happened. There's been no extra bullshit thrown in. Iv needed to watch every min of this show to really catch up with what happened on Monday
 
So I guess today was WWE release day.

They released Wade Barrett, Santino Marella, Cameron, El Torito, Zeb Colter, Alex Riley, and Hornswoggle. Barrett was no surprise, though, as there have been rumors that he didn't plan to renew his contract for a few months now. Can't blame him, either, as the WWE horribly misused him.

Outside of Alex Riley, do any of these particularly surprise you? We knew Wade. Santino was basically just brought back for filler. Torino had a singular gimmick. Colter is old, unused, unneeded, Hornswoggle hasn't been relevant in seven or eight years, and Cameron just spoke out in support of Ryback and can't wrestle.

Sandow as well.
 
Sandow as well.

Yeah, just saw that. He was pretty clearly trying to get released at this point, though. He was over as all hell and WWE had no intention of using him at all. I don't blame him for wanting to take his talents elsewhere. He'll easily find a job with another promotion.
 
Glad Barrett and Sandow have been freed. Notice I didn't say let go or released. They were freed lol

2 guys who had it and then we're not given any love by creative. I swear it seems like WWE literally put all its effort in trying to build Roman Reigns. Let's say they schedule 8 hours of creative brainstorming. It's like they spend 7 hours 30 mins on trying to get Roman over and then the other 99% of the roster gets 30 total mins.

What other explaination can you give for Sandow disappearing after the Miz feud? What about Barrett winning King of the Ring and then his reward is being buried by R Truth toilet plunger fake king gimmick. Why didn't they turn that into a real fued? Would've got Barrett's KOTR title credibility because he defends its honor by beating a guy who makes fun of it, and would've built Truth up a little bit by getting him back on TV. He'd most likely be off by now but maybe that fued could've led to us being spared this worthless Kaisto title run with the US belt. If you would've given Barrett the title after he won KOTR and he had it until now he'd be considered a top guy no doubt. Then put the IC belt on Rusev instead of Kevin Owens so Owens would've beat Rusev at WM32, then add those 2 months Sheamus had the WWE Title. That would've made the League of Nations actually mean something.

There's just ALOT of ideas that could have been done and it seems like they weren't because it went against the main priority of making Roman look strong. Can't have a League of Nations faction being more important than Roman so let's have these 3 great talents team up and serve em up to Roman for 2 fucking months. And then be mad when no one cares about the faction like what did they expect?
 
Sandow was a joke. a novelty. Barrett did have a showdown with R truth. nobody cared, While booking post king of the ring did Barrett no favors.I think Barrett had a lot to do with his fading from the WWE because the WWE didn't trust him after dogging on the Reigns character and his push.
 
Extreme Rules probable lineup update
Reigns vs AJ
Charlotte vs Natalya
Kalisto vs Rusev ( not confirmed but should be on exreme rules unless they have Rusev take the title on raw and wrestle someone else for extreme rules)
New day vs Vaudevillians
Owens vs Miz vs Zayn Vs Cesaro (no official)
Jericho vs Ambrose (not official)
Usos vs Gallows and Anderson ( might be a match might be part of main event)
Becky Lynch vs Emma (rescheduled from payback)
Corbin vs Ziggler


Cena Fears
I really hope Rusev doesn't take the title before extreme rules. This would make me fear that Cena recapturing the US title was in the work for extreme rules. Hopefully if that does happen Rusev gets the first win. Hopefully the announced 05/30 Cena return means this wont happen.

May be back after extreme Rules
John Cena
Randy Orton - expected to start training for return mid june. Should be back July or August
Seth Rollins - is Healthy and finishing filming a movie. Should return soon after Cena.

Just like I said when you predicted the match at Payback, I doubt we see Gallows and Anderson against the Uso's on a PPV. Everything else looks about right though.
 
God please give Rusev that belt.

He and Cena did so much work making it mean something and the WWE shit on all that work by giving it to Del Rio and Kalisto specifically


Idc what anyone else says but Miz is making that IC belt mean something. Also the fact that all the best mid card guys want it and Owens talks like he DESPERATELY NEEDS it is building that belt up.


I have no idea why WWE doesn't give the same creative power to the US Title

Sandow might have been a novelty, but he was insanely over and stayed over despite getting buried by the WWE. It's insane that they have guys that are that over and just refuse to utilize them in any capacity.

Exactly

That story with him and Miz is actually one of my favorite of 2015. It was silly to waste that story. They could've milked that for way more




I have a feeling the same will happen to Zayn and Owens. But a part of that is Zayns fault. I honestly don't think he's over at all. He's just a guy right now he needs to become a character
