RAW should be 2 hours long, and RAW + Smackdown should go back to being mostly seperate entities.

by Onyx Wed Feb 04, 2015 2:09 pm

Ideally Smackdown would just continue on from RAW storylines, but a lot of people are concerned about people not getting a chance if RAW does go back to 2 hours. So Smackdown could just be used for people who don't appear on RAW.

Sin Cara and Kalisto recently dropped the WWE NXT Tag Team Titles because officials have been toying with a new gimmick for Kalisto, according to verified WWE insider MetsFan4Ever on Reddit.

He reports that WWE is looking for a new masked star to take over with Rey Mysterio likely leaving but NXT officials recently tried Kalisto out with a new, unmasked gimmick – that of a gay hair stylist.

Kalisto reportedly did very well in the role and is seriously being considered to do that gimmick instead of continuing with the Kalisto character.

Regarding Triple H’s comments on the live Steve Austin interview about having no beef or issues with CM Punk, most people within WWE that are talking do not believe he was telling the truth.

It came as a surprise that a higher-up like Triple H talked about how RAW should go back to 2 hours and most people in the company agree with that.

On a related note, Triple H mentioned during his interview with Michael Cole today that he heard his interview with Austin had 40% more viewers than Vince McMahon’s interview with Austin.

Ambrose getting the IC title AKA the cursed belt Neutral

by TheVoiceOfTheVoiceless Wed Feb 04, 2015 7:11 pm

Just seen the SCSA podcast. HHH comes across as a genuine nice guy with a great mind for the business, unlike the burial machine he's been made out to be.

Ambrose + IC title will be like Ambrose + US title= Irrelevant

Bryan v Reigns @ Fastlane. Reigns wins clean, Bryan raises his arm, fans will accept Roman. Nope they'll hate him more.--------> #WWELogic#CancelWWENetwork
If Bryan wins the same fans that cheered for him last year are going to complain about him stealing some guys spot.
Turn Roman heel, full blast. No tweener. He's not SCSA & we've already got Ambrose. Then book it Beast vs Beast.

I'll take Bryan V Ziggler. Give them 20+mins, but don't let them steal the show. Its Roman's night remember, gotta make Roman look strong.

Also, Bray wrestling Taker at WM on the night that Sting makes his in-ring debut is going to make me sick. pale

Regarding criticism over this year's WWE Royal Rumble match, the producer for the match was Jamie Noble while Joey Mercury was the assistant.

Others involved in putting the match together were WWE Hall of Famer Pat Patterson, "Road Dogg" Brian James and Michael "PS" Hayes.

Barrett with a new gimmick. Proud

A promo will air on tonight’s WWE SmackDown where Intercontinental Champion Bad News Barrett cuts a promo on Dean Ambrose.

Barrett does the promo in front of a monitor that says “BNZ.” The font is similar to TMZ’s logo and Barrett now breaks his bad news courtesy of the “Bad News Zone.” This is a play off TMZ being the “Ten Mile Zone.”

Barrett closed his promo by telling fans to stay tuned to “BNZ” for more breaking news. No word yet if this is a new angle Barrett is working or if it was just a one time gimmick for this week.

There's a lot of speculation that Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler at WrestleMania 31 may have been nixed after Bryan vs. Reigns in a #1 contender's match was made for WWE Fast Lane.

It's still not confirmed that Bryan vs. Ziggler was nixed so Bryan could face Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania 31, and most expect Lesnar vs. Reigns to still happen, but there's already talk that Ziggler may be in tag team action at WrestleMania 31.

Ziggler and Ryback will team up on tonight's SmackDown and apparently there's a reason for tonight's match. WWE officials are considering putting the two together as a permanent tag team and have them wrestle together at WrestleMania 31.

Even though it’s been over a year since CM Punk exited the WWE, and over two months since his infamous podcast with Colt Cabana, he remains a hot topic. After Triple H’s appearance on the Stone Cold Podcast on the WWE Network, Punk’s name is brought up yet again.

Triple H claimed he didn’t know who CM Punk was before he was called up to the WWE. Former WWE writer Court Bauer appeared on Bauer & Pollock and shared a story of Triple H and DX teammate Shawn Michaels burying CM Punk during one of his tryout matches.

“One time, Triple H along with HBK buried CM Punk. I think it was his 2005 tryout,” Bauer said. “Maybe he didn’t know the name, and wasn’t familiar with who it was but they buried him.”

Bauer said that he, Vince McMahon, and then head of talent relations John Laurinaitis were all present as it was going on. They, along with Triple H and Shawn Michaels were in the Gorilla position watching Punk’s tryout at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Philadelphia.

“They annihilated his look and his work and I’m like ‘you just sunk the guy in front of the Chairman!’” Bauer compared it to one of DX’s goofy skits at the time, with a touch more seriousness involved.

“They were shredding this poor guy,” Bauer said.

Bauer also talked about how the next year at Survivor Series 2006, the crowd chanted for Punk over DX, and Triple H disingenuously put his arm around Punk.

There's a rumor within WWE that officials have 100% decided on Roman Reigns winning the #1 contender's match against Daniel Bryan at the WWE Fast Lane pay-per-view.

According to MetsFan4Ever, the only reason the #1 contender's match was made was to quiet some of the fanbase for a few weeks while they try to get Reigns over. Regardless of Reigns getting over or not, the plan is still for him to headline WrestleMania 31 and defeat Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Title.

It was also reported that despite Bryan's smaller size, he's considered to be one of the more physical in-ring workers that WWE has. He was picked to work with Reigns to get him ready for the physicality of Lesnar.

Regarding not putting Bryan in the WrestleMania main event, officials know that fans are going to watch WrestleMania no matter what. At this point, WWE considers the WrestleMania name bigger than any Superstar on the show.

Bryan winning with 90%. :bow:

Who is more deserving of a WWE World Heavyweight Title Match at WrestleMania 31?

90%Daniel Bryan10%Roman Reigns

Reigns should have +100%

by Onyx Sun Feb 08, 2015 2:24 am

Reigns is still going to main event WM anyway imo.

Vince isn't going to have his golden boy win the rumble only to have him lose his main event spot at the following PPV. Laughing

WWE's logic for the Bryan/Reigns match doesn't even make sense imo. HHH said there's controversy because the Rock interfered in the match. Except all the Rock did was take out Kane/Big Show who were already eliminated. Reigns won the match fair and square.

So now they're going to have Reigns beat Bryan, so

A. Their illogical story continues and Reigns wins his spot fairly.
B. To subdue the fans backlash temporarily.
C. To spite the IWC and Reigns haters.

Bo Dallas made his return in a house show and this is what he had to say:

Bo said it has been 102 days, six hours, 12 minutes and 28 seconds since he last stepped into the ring after injuring his big toe. He then asked for a moment of silence to enjoy him.

FFS, hope he gets a massive push when he's back on RAW.

The next 2015 WWE Hall of Famer to be announced on tonight’s RAW is expected to be “The Crippler” Ray Stevens. As noted, Pat Patterson has been pushing for Ray’s induction and will likely be giving the induction speech.

_______________________________________________

To add to this weekend’s Daniel Bryan vs. Seth Rollins WWE live events, Rollins cut pre-match promos about how he was getting a redo from RAW due to Roman Reigns’ interference. It’s possible we get the same angle from Rollins on tonight’s RAW.

Rollins then said his match against Bryan would be for the chance to face Reigns at WWE Fastlane. Bryan won their matches this weekend.

by Onyx Mon Feb 09, 2015 6:12 pm

It's the best main event they can have anyway. Super Reigns vs last years goat vs the Beast. Reigns will still win imo.

We noted two weeks ago that WWE officials would not be putting Daniel Bryan into the WWE World Heavyweight Title Match at WrestleMania 31 with Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar because Vince McMahon didn’t want to go that route again after doing the same thing last year. Vince reportedly held a meeting this past week and changed his mind.

According to The Wrestling Observer, the new idea for the WrestleMania 31 main event is Bryan vs. Reigns vs. Lesnar for the title.

Plans could always change between now and the Fastlane pay-per-view on February 22nd but the current idea is to do a Triple Threat at WrestleMania 31 after Vince made the decision, apparently due to the crowd reactions.
