2018 Pro Wrestling thread

And we have a winner...

 

And so it begins...

 

Bryan will open Smackdown tonight. I wonder how long the ovation will be.

 

The Yes chants ought to be amazing.

 

Also, since there is a past history, they always could have had Bryan challenge Cena. He can say that since the Undertaker is not being commited, so he will commit to a Wrestlemania match.

 

As always, Matt Hardy says it all:

 

Speaking of Undertaker, if he does come back, do you believe he comes back as American Badass, or his regular character?

I would not mind seeing the old American Badass, tbh.

 

Apart from when he won the belt at Mania, I think this may have been the best Yes moment.

 

The pop he gets when he pushes Bray away is amazing.

 

With Gargano probably being called-up after Wrestlemania, I would not mind seeing him feud with Bryan. Would be a great way to throw him into the fire off the bat.

 

You have to wonder what his wife thinks. I remember a behind the scenes doc where HHH told Shawns wife hed take care of him out there before Summerslam 02. Im sure given the relationship theres few people shed trust with him more than Cena, even if he doesnt have that Bret hart/HHH safe worker reputation.

Bryan prob feels that way about Sami Zayn. Wonder how much influence he had in getting him a prominent spot in this storyline.

The possibilities if he works full time are endless. Program vs Seth Rollins. Cesaro. Samoa Joe. Roode. Shinsuke. Rusev.

The number of fantasy Bryan fueds just shows how they have the deepest roster theyve ever had.

 

Their roster depth now is amazing, when you consider how they were maybe around 2010 or so, when every other match was Cena, Orton, Batista, Big Show, Kane and a cast of thousands.

If anything, with their desire to get everyone on the PPVs, it gets a little too crazy when you get main event-caliber guys in the opening match.

I doubt Bryan will work a full-time schedule, though. Maybe the TVs and PPVs, and major house shows at MSG, Chicago, Philly and a few other places.
