WWE Wrestlemania

Mania is in Dallas next year and that's where Sting resides. It would be cool to see Sting vs. Taker in their home state and both retire after neither man beats the ten count. Throw both of em in the hall of fame and call it good.

Not a chance. Taker will go over and WWE wouldn't give a second thought about it
 
The Anoa'i family, who were there at WM31 on the side opposite the camera, were not happy about the ending...

Do they have no idea that it may have saved Reigns' Career?

Exactly. WWE can have Reigns win for 2 years straight, and the crowd will still hate it. They need to use him with a different angle for awhile. He was liked a lot before the big/rushed push he got.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind if they turned the Usos (and Naomi, who's married to an Uso), Reigns, and Tamina into a heel family stable (they would not associate themselves with the Authority mind you but you get the jiff)

If you had that with either Naomi/Tamina as Divas, Usos as Tag, and Reigns as WWE WHC, people would like it, especially if they just tear the competition apart.

But I don't think they'll try that soon especially if
They're going to turn the New Day heel, they've been acting like that at the SD taping this week on ME and SD against PTP.

That's almost attitude era ratings. If Vince is smart, he needs to start getting out of the PG era and get back to some attitude style story lines of he wants to keep the ratings up.

I don't think PG is the problem here, I think it's Vince and his dumb booking decisions.

We'll wait and see how the ratings are next week. Were the people there because Rollins was the champ or was it because they wanted to see Lesnar cause destruction?

I've noticed they are getting a little bit more loose with their language. Guess it's a start. Did love the line with Stephanie "I own that son of a *****" That's the Vince in her.

I think you could sell that if you could somehow have Rock do a promo for it or help build it up.
 
This new "attitude" we are seeing started the night with Orton giving Rollins the bird. It was shown on TV but quickly hidden. I figured after that we'd start seeing change.

Earlier in the night, Orton used some foul language as well.

I don't see why you couldn't have a heel A'noi (sp?) family and your spoiler at the same time.

You have to use WWE logic:

Does this make sense:

YES - DO NOT DO IT
NO - DO IT

Is this easily possible:

YES - DO NOT DO IT
NO - DO IT

Is this something people would want to see:

YES - DO NOT DO IT
NO - DO IT

Could this negatively affect John Cena and his merch sales in any way:

YES - DO NOT DO IT
NO - DO IT

I guess it depends on whether Vince is done urinating on WCW's grave or if he'd like to drop a deuce on it as well.

I'm a WWE guy and have always been that way. Growing up I taped Raw every Monday and watched Nitro during commercials. Each show brought something different to the table. Since they bought WCW in 2001 they have had several of their former stars buried and beaten by WWE guys. Just last weekend WWE got one up on their most loyal guy. I loved it when The Rock beat Booker T for the WCW title and hated when "their" guys would get put over our's. It's been 14 years since the Monday night war ended and I think most people should be over it. What I really meant with the double count out was that they would both obviously be faces. It's a dream match and it would be hard to root against the other. Hate to see either lose so I said screw it call it a no contest.

"The Observer goes on to say that while the decision was made in advance, the actual notification came during that inescapable Rock-Ronda Rousey segment. Seth Rollins was pulled into a room with producers, Heyman, Lesnar, and Reigns where they dropped the bomb on both former Shield members."

It wouldn't surprise me if they were informed that it might happen.

There's a account that's usually right with who wins PPV matches so it wouldn't surprise me if they made it last second to prevent from it getting out before it actually happened.

I caught the second hour of SD, two things happened of note, Cena called Rusev a d word, it was bleeped out so I couldn't tell which. Also Bryan was busted open in the main event by Barrett with a bullhammer.
 
WWE wants Samoa Joe, Samoa Joe wants WWE. I wanted him 5 years ago. Don't really care about him now. He wants Brock at Wrestlemania 32. Whether he gets him or not, who knows. I just hope they don't go the Umaga or Brodus Clay route and have them destroy everyone in their path and then fade out into nothing a few months later.
 
According to PWInsider, WWE has just announced AJ Lee is retired.

EDIT: WWE.com statement: "AJ Lee (April Mendez) has decided to retire from in-ring competition with WWE. We wish AJ the very best."
