2015 Pro Wrestling Thread

Well, that's part of the point. It was his name as a description. He didn't have to keep boasting about it, unlike Show.

If Show were to be named "Paul the Giant", it would be describing him. But for him to say, "I am a giant", that's boasting.

It wasn't a great line at all, and Reigns does need a lot of work, but the IWC talking about this ruining his career is a bit of an exaggeration.

 

Whats Bubbas Q rating these days? Would he and Devon be in a tag team fued, or is he big enough to be a player for a face that needs a Mania match, say Ambrose or if hes not vs Lesnar Bryan?

 

Since Bubba did the vast majority of his major career reinvention outside of the WWE walls, I think most WWE fans would have a hard time buying into him as a main-event caliber talent if he didn't first come in as a member of the Dudleys and then rebrand himself, again, in the WWE.
Otherwise those who don't watch TNA would wonder "Wait, why is Bubba getting pushed?"

 

I think if anyone remembers Bubba, then they're probably also tuned in enough to know he established himself as a really good heel in TNA. If he ever did come back, it wouldn't surprise me if he had a run similar to Christian. It wasn't like he was competing for titles when he went from the WWE to TNA, but when he came back, he was able to work himself into the WWE main title scene.

 

Plus the E isn't always too keen on pushing guys who've been in TNA when they've returned (Christian, RVD). I think they'd put them as a tag team, give them a good run with the Usos, put over The Ascension and that'd be it.

 

I thought I'd always heard that the Dudleys were on good terms with WWE, and that Vince considered it a mistake to let them leave when they did? I always figured they'd be in the Hall of Fame at some point.

 

Please let Mania return to Orlando. I would definitely go then.

 

That's what I've always heard, too. They left on good terms, IIRC.

 

Sorry. You guys had WM24 and Miami had WM28. Time to spread it around. Not that I'd mind going to Orlando but I think Mania should always be in a different place. Hell, Boston hasn't had it since WM14 and Canada hasn't had the event since WM18.

 

I'm kind of surprised they haven't gone back to Canada, especially since things there aren't so ridiculous now that Bret Hart has made peace with Vince. However, their recent trend has been to go to the biggest building possible for Mania, and that might preclude places like Canada and Boston.

 

Unless the business majorly drops off (or those fears of terrorism ), they're not going to be hosting WM in arenas any more. They were concerned about the weather at the Meadowlands, and some reports did have cold fans being quiet and affecting the atmosphere of the event. So Boston may be out, although if they could somehow swing it with a long Red Sox roadtrip, having SummerSlam at Fenway would be pretty cool.

I'm guessing they probably will, at some point, have it in Toronto again. But when they will, of course, is unknown.
