Battleground Battleground Match Card and Live Discussion

Lol, when I do the same everyone hates it, Ok.

Rollins and Ambrose would be better at SummerSlam IMO.

On paper it looks good, but I'm not too sure how Jericho/Wyatt and Ambrose/Rollins are going to play out. I feel they're going to cheat us out on at least one of them and end it in some sort of no contest/DQ, because both matches are obviously made for Summerslam and it'd be strange seeing Summerslam just be a continuation of Battleground. They'll need something to spice the two feuds up for Summerslam.

Yeah the Ambrose/Rollins is a definite DQ in Ambrose favor after interference by Kane or Orton... OR a stipulation is added to the match by the Authority during the kick off show. Jericho/Wyatt there is no telling what might happen.

I imagine what WWE is doing is keeping the iron hot for Summerslam. This is in direct opposition that a feud should be saved for Summerslam.
By beginning the summer season with the MITB PPV, they are making the night after MITB and all ensuing interactions that much more important thereafter. In other words, Summerslam would be the apex of the feud and the October PPV would be the climax.
I like this idea for many reasons: a)MITB (and the night after) starts the summer and is given the importance it deserves b) People go into Summerslam knowing they are getting a heated feud which won't disappoint and c) The summer season will end with the October PPV when buys traditionally plummet.

Who do you think will win the IC title battle royal? I'll go with Cesaro. If he doesn't win, then what happens? His momentum will go away, for sure.

Yeah, it has to be Cesaro.. if not then I have no clue.

He still has momentum? WWE went the TNA route and turned someone popular heel. Cesaro losing on every TV show for the last 2 weeks completely killed off any momentum he had. I want to say Dolph, but we know what happens when D'Z's in a title match :lose:. I'd give it to Bo Dallas or RVD. Bo Dallas with the IC belt would be pretty entertaining.

On the other hand if Cesaro does win it would still kill of his momentum, he's been in 2 major WWE title matches this year and now he's in the IC title pictures? I'm going with Bo Dallas.

Because we hate you.

Because we hate you.

Somebody is in an unusually hateful mood today. Your posts are funnier today, but ouch.

 

[Prince Bálor]

It's gonna be so good when The Wyatts win the Tag Team titles, finally!

 

[Prince Bálor]

I'm not sure about the ME, though. Yes, Cena's gonna be the winner, lol. There's a possibility of Brock coming back and cleaning the house... And Seth will definitely try to cash in and he's gonna be stopped by Ambrose (most likely)... But what if Seth actually cashes in and then Lesnar turns face? lol

I've looked into a Lesnar face turn. I don't believe Heyman works as a face but Brock usually rolls with Heyman.
Brock could grow a bad a** beard again and he'd be a face in no time (despite killing the streak).
Lesnar has a face run, but Heyman keeps aggravating people with talks of the broken streak.

Lesnar appears very infrequently, but if he got on board with ditching Heyman, I'd try turning him.
Problems is, I don't think Lesnar wants to ditch Heyman, turn face or resemble a remorseful person in any way on television.

Yeah, let's face it... Lesnar will never be a babyface and he shouldn't, 'cause he's a legit asskicker. Plus, he'll never ditch Heyman, he needs Paul to do the talking for him.

I'm really interested in seeing how the ME plays out.

 

[Snowman1]

How many times have people cashed in on people of the same face/heel alignment? Swagger on Jericho is the only one that comes to mind... but really, this is where the whole line of "there is no more faces and heels" comes into play.

Think what they mean by that is the crowd divide being stronger than ever, and they're willing to milk whatever reaction a performer gets from people (like when Wyatt starts getting face pops, they give him a song to sing along with and show all the cool phone lights in the crowd... meanwhile here's Cena being just fine with the Authority). Brock Lesnar is going to ride in on his white horse and be a complete babyface at Summerslam and why would you bother fighting that? Why not have either Rollins OR Ambrose, if he wins the briefcase, cash in on him?

Also I find it funny that Lesnar feels like the underdog in this match even though the dude just ended the fucking streak. lolcena

Trust me... I'd love it if Lesnar was a babyface, I'd love it if he stayed a heel, as well.

TBH, I'm not so thrilled about Lesnar coming back, if his upcoming feuds turn out to be as awful as the one with The Undertaker. That's all I'm saying. Just bring him back in a 'good fashion' and improve his upcoming feud(s).

 

[Red Rain]

When Kane cashed on Rey Mysterio in 2010, I believe both were babyfaces.
Bryan also cashed in on Big Show in 2011, while both were babyfaces.
CM Punk cashed in on Jeff Hardy in 2009, while both were babyfaces

Coincidentally, they each turned shortly thereafter.

The Taker feud was forced, plain and simple. Undertaker wrestled at WM because it was a must, not because he was anywhere near 100%.
