Re: The Official WWE Thread - Part 19

Disagree partially. Austin wants more wrestling instead of entertainment. Problem is there's too much wrestling currently and the entertainment sucks. Just because the entertainment sucks, it doesn't mean we need MORE wrestling. No idea why the IWC seems to think that.

Regarding Bray's promos, it's fine having an over the top gimmick for the midcard, but when it comes the main event, he needs to get his point across quicker.

At last word, Chris Jericho's current WWE deal has him working 15 live events with no TV tapings during January and February. After that, he will go back on the road with Fozzy for a tour in Europe from March 4th until March 19th.

Jericho's status for WrestleMania 31 is said to be up in the air still but it appears he's not going to be scheduled for the big event.

With that said, Jericho could easily be added to WrestleMania if Vince McMahon want him bad enough because recently, the plan was for Jericho to stay off TV so his return would mean something but he's already worked two TV events since November.

Agreed. Wrestling without storylines suck.

For some fans, wrestling = entertainment. I guess the feeling is that two guys in a ring fighting each other and putting on a show is more entertaining than two guys standing in a ring talking to each other or some silly backstage segment.

Case in point with Wyatt. Him coming on and talking for ten minutes isn't that entertaining because he's not doing anything. They're well written promos and he delivers them well, too, but for him to be really entertaining he needs to be wrestling somebody and practicing what he preaches.

by Onyx Sun Dec 28, 2014 11:47 pm

Yeh, I think that's mainly because the storylines nowadays just aren't as good they were in the past. They're just too basic. It's just one guy standing on the ramp and talking and the other guy in the ring. There's no long term planning involved or any structure. Just feels like a procedural show.

Is there something good on tonight hmm

Might show up to deal out some legit banter

by Onyx Mon Dec 29, 2014 9:39 pm

We've noted how multiple sources confirmed that WWE officials have talked about bringing NXT star Adrian Neville to the main roster soon with a kid-friendly gimmick inspired by the famous Mighty Mouse cartoon character. One report even had Neville wearing a mask on the main roster.

In an update, the Mighty Mouse inspired gimmick is the current plan for Neville but he will not be wearing any kind of Mouse suit and the character was described as more similar to the late former WWE Hardcore Champion Crash Holly.

In a trivia note, when the late Chris Candido first came to WWE in the mid-1990's, WWE wanted to give him a similar gimmick inspired by Mighty Mouse. They even had a costume made up but ended up putting Candido in The Bodydonnas team instead.

Regarding Neville, there is no call-up date set but they are looking at bringing him to the main roster this spring. WWE still has a few more matches they want to do with Neville in NXT.

by Onyx Mon Dec 29, 2014 9:40 pm

Rollins vs Sting. Laughing

We've noted that Sting vs. Triple H is likely for WWE's WrestleMania 31 pay-per-view next year.

Apparently the idea of doing Sting vs. Seth Rollins was also brought up internally. That match seems like a long shot but it was at least brought up.

On a related note, there has been some speculation lately, based on the recent losses Rollins has suffered, that Rollins may be entering the WWE World Heavyweight Title picture very soon. Rollins entering the title picture would obviously cancel out any plans for a potential Sting match.

Rumour that Bryan is going to announce his retirement tonight Shocked

by Onyx Mon Dec 29, 2014 10:39 pm

Daniel Bryan posted the following tweet minutes ago:

Daniel Bryan ✔ @WWEDanielBryan
Follow
Everyone comes to a crossroads in their life and I’ve come to mine. I look forward to telling you all about it tonight on #Raw.

For what it's worth, during media interviews in November, Bryan said that he still wasn't sure when he would return, but he hoped that it was in January so that he can be back for WrestleMania.

During his interview with Michael Cole last month, Bryan said that while there was no timetable for his return, he was feeling good and things were going better with getting the strength back in his arm.

by RealGunner Mon Dec 29, 2014 10:40 pm

That would be awful if he retires

by Onyx Mon Dec 29, 2014 10:42 pm

Could announce he's in the rumble.

by RealGunner Tue Dec 30, 2014 12:27 am

Yea that's a possibility.

Some noise that Lesnar will start a feud with him.

by Onyx Tue Dec 30, 2014 12:41 am

Will be great to have him back. Would have preferred a surprise return though. Pop would be insane at the rumble.
