he will then turn heel in all likeliness against Cena

In my mind I just keep seeing the kids booing as Reigns beats down Cena and the rest of the crowd going apesh*t for him attacking Cena. lol

Heisman is right they are not changing any match, let alone the title match, at WM this year. It's Reigns v HHH. I'm afraid if this doesn't work for Roman that it will be time to pull the plug on him.

I get it but Vince and Heisman are the only two real fans Reigns has. For his career he better be begging them to consider something else!

Agreed. If it doesn't work, move on to something else. Austin's suggestion on how to handle him is probably the best for all involved. Go heel with the belt, which may even make a babyface Rollins return pretty dope. Still bet it might be Cena though.

But yeah, the IWC/smarks would be all in on Reigns beating the piss out of Cena while the casuals/traditional babyface marks will boo. You're either a babyface with casuals or with the IWC today.

What about the possibility of a fatal four way at WM? Reigns, Ambrose, Lesnar, and H?
Click to expand...

I thought WrestleMania 2000 was one of the worst ones because of it being a fatal four way. We've had back-to-back triple threats as well so I would prefer we don't go that route again.

Not quite. He's one of the bigger stars on the roster but he's liked by WWE management so that's automatic rebellion from a big chunk of the male fan base. Regardless, he's good in the ring and if he goes heel for awhile, it allows him to hang around that main event scene, not have to be on the mic and in reality, probably helps get more fans.

BTW, in hindsight, wish they would have just kept the belt on Brock this whole time or at the very least, never have given Reigns the title and let HHH hold the title since November. Either of those would have been better than the Sheamus/Reigns stuff.

Agreed but do you really want to see H and Reigns in the main event by themselves...seems like a good time to beat traffic. Now if you throw Lesnar and Ambrose in it...makes it a bit more interesting.

If they were smart they would do it and make it run an hour and hope they could fill the rest with BS.

Y2AJ will put on a good show, worth watching.

Lynch, Banks, Flair that should be entertraining, as they can actually wrestle

Praying to god they find another opponent for KO instead of Show...KO can steal the crowd with the right opponent.

Brock and Ambrose is a must see

The rest is garbage though.

Heisman you know it just makes you an easy target man! If anyone dare say anything about Sting I'd be worse!

I saw him in O'hare back in '98. I didn't recognize who he was at first other than being this giant of a man wearing a leather black hat. When I realized who it was I about shat myself. I was too much of a coward to go talk to him so I had my friend get me his autograph.
It's amazing how much bigger those guys are in person.

We already know The Rock is at WrestleMania in some capacity. If I'm a betting man, I bet they stack the main event with Rousey/Rock combo to get mainstream exposure. They already set the story up a year ago for that. No way the match is simply just HHH/Reigns by themselves with nothing else.

KO vs AJ needs to happen.

Triple H vs Roman Reigns
Undertaker vs Shane McMahon (This is where Austin will come in to play)
Brock Lesnar vs Dean Ambrose
Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch vs Charlotte

Those are set in stone.

Now you have to figure out what to do with the IC Title, US Title and all of that crap.

Heard a rumor Miz is supposed to be built back up now before Mania. No, thanks.

I'll get blasted for this (probably deservingly so) but I think Miz has been pretty good the past month.

He has been great on the mic - some of the best work of his career.

Plus the crowd hates him so he always draws heat.

He is still not good in the ring though.

No doubt he's good on the mic and knows his character well. What is hard to get around for me is he looks like a kid playing wrestler sometimes. [laughing]

I listened to it. Good points but completely disagree with Dean Ambrose being "a better talent" or better fit for Triple H. Reigns may not be the guy but Ambrose is **** in the ring and goofy as hell, in my opinion.

The criticisms of Reigns while clammoring for Ambrose is just crazy. He's goofy on the mic , and limited in the ring. If you think KO should be the guy, will agree...if you think Rollins should be the guy, cool with that, you think Triple H should retain, fine with that, down with Brock? Cool with me but Ambrose as the top guy/face? Zzzz

He's always been really good at a heel.

The pop Alex Riley got when he finally turned on him was stupid-loud, especially considering it's Alex F'ing Riley.

His work with Sandow was exceptional, his current work has been great as well. He got Styles over with the WWE-centric audience real fast

^^^Enjoy...so Austin Aries debuted last night on NXT and promptly got taken out by Baron Corbin.

They also announced on the Network show on March 12 Dash and Dawson will defend the tag titles about Enzo and Cass.

Will be interesting to see how that goes, couple of things I read said their work on house shows has been met with crickets...

Kind of surprised the NXT women's championship is going to be Bayley vs Asuka at Dallas Takeover. You'd figure they'd put the belt on Eva Marie so fans lose their **** and let Asuka be the one to win it off of her.

I know I'm not alone by not wanting the good NXT talent to ever get called up. I love NXT. It's an old school show for old school wrestling fans.

Have you watched the open forum NXT did for the fans? It was HHH, some current and former NXT talent. It was really cool listening to them describe NXT and how different it is. I forget who but someone described how they got called up and were all excited and then realized they wouldn't be on NXT anymore and got bummed out.

I have said this before, if I was on the NXT roster I would try to stay there as long as possible if I could.

So just added to the Roadblock show- Brock vs. Bray Wyatt. Interesting that was originally talked about as a WM 32 match.

That's good. The original main event for that special was a triple threat of HHH/Brock/Wyatt, which I'm sure Wyatt was there to take the pinfall.

This also tells me they're definitely sticking to the plan- Ambrose is for sure losing to Triple H. Because if he didn't, Brock would have no one.

Actually Brock would have a title shot at that point man. Pretty boy would be the one screwed.

Yea but Goldberg is awesome! I mean at one point he was alone in a battle with NWO and was winning!

Maybe you miss my point, if Ambrose wins Brock is then in a title match. The pretty boy statement was just to get you all riled up man.

Well, you're in luck because apparently his career is said to be over.

I hate Ryback because he's a roid monkey that is just awful in every way and looks like he belongs at 24-Hour Fitness instead of in the WWE.

NXT was fun tonight.

Baron Corbin is just hard to watch live. His matches are sooooo slowww and not in a good way.

Johnny Gargano was quite over. Tye Dillinger was back. Crowd popped pretty good for him as well.

The main eventers were all great. No Enzo/Big Cass though

Flair is going to induct Sting into the Hall of Fame - per Flair on his podcast.

Why do I feel like Flair will turn on him at some point during Sting's speech and the night will end with Flair & Arn Anderson beating him down.

Apparently Asuka knocked out Emma tonight at an NXT house show. Kick to the head -> Down
Click to expand...

Always made me wonder how some of these wrestlers communicate in the ring if there is a language barrier. I've read in Daniel Bryan's book about him having to wrestle in Japan but he hasn't stated how they called the match.

Asuka's English is not the greatest. I know that probably didn't play a part tonight but was curious how they handle that.

Big Emma fan though

Emma is smokin'

I've always heard Japanese wrestlers are trained to call a match in English, even when wrestling other Japanese
