Two Big Names Being Advertised for WWE Fastlane

Brock Lesnar
Chris Jericho
Roman Reigns as WWE Champion?

What does it mean!
They do this all the time. They promote people as what they currently are. No need to get excited.

If I remember correctly, there was an ad that ran here after Survivor Series. For a show after TLC, promoting Reigns vs Sheamus in a street fight, and it said Sheamus was WWE Champion.

I find it most interesting that Lesnar is on the bill, especially since everyone considers Fastlane a throw away PPV.

Probably just to get people interested.

Always watch out for the small "All superstars subject to change".

No way in hell is KO more charismatic than Y2j lolwut. I like KO in the ring and when he's killing people, but he's not even close to being at Jericho's level when it comes to the mic/charisma. He's actually kinda dull.
I disagree with that. He isn't dull at all. He isn't the high energy type on the mic but I always want to hear what he says whenever he's on the mic.

Meh, I just like seeing him destroy people.


Also FUCK THE MIZ to whoever mentioned him :mad2:

Titus O'Niel and Tyler Breeze are charismatic as fuck, adding to Woods/Big E. Maybe they don't compare to prime Jericho, but they compare now. Especially Breeze.

I dare someone to find me someone with more Charisma than Jericho currently on the main roster.

Definitely The New Day as others have mentioned, hence why Jericho shared an in-ring segment with them in the first place. Bray Wyatt, Wade Barrett when he was doing the Bad News gimmick, The Miz (he's grown on me over the years), Heath Slater, Titus O'Neil, etc. can all compete with Y2J on his best day.

I won't disagree, just saying Jericho is still up there and IMO is still the top of that list you just made. Breeze will get there, Titus will never get that push, and I agree on Woods...not Big E though.

It's still quite a small list, and Jericho being back is ALWAYS a great thing IMO, especially with this depleted shit ass RAW that has been the past 2+ months.

MORE charisma, not "can compete." Thanks though, I won't disagree with Wyatt on that list either, and Miz is a given honestly. Still as stated above, not more charismatic than y2j.

Well, shouldn't Daniel Bryan count? He's still part of the active roster despite being on the shelf. Charisma isn't all mic skills, it's having that intangible magnetism and vibe about you that causes others to gravitate towards you. There's no denying Bryan has that effect on people.

On a slightly different note, I made a thread here last year saying how awesome an Intercontinental Title feud between Bryan and a heel Jericho would have been. Between the promos, the matches, Y2J being arguably "the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time" (he's won the title more than anyone else in history), etc. It could have been classic.

IF They ever let Bryan back, yeah, of course. We both know that is very unlikely. He may be a "part" of the team, but dude is on the shelf for who knows how long.

Until the concussion lawsuit(s) blow over... Unless he really is as badly injured as he's made out to be.

With the pile of injuries WWE has suffered heading into what they want to be the biggest Mania of all time, they may want to at least suggest bringing Bryan back to shore up the star power a bit.

Optimistic as hell. I hope they fold and bring him back for an IC scene match and as you said to add star power (especially if Cena is really out until after WM) It might happen, but trusting WWE to do anything right isn't something i've seen in forever.

Honestly this WWE as of late has been as bad as ANY TNA i've watched over the past 3 years i've been here. Aces and 8's PRE-Bubba weren't this mediocre....and they had fucking Tazz.
