Damn right that's not thread-worthy!

Perfectly fine with this of course. Although I have no idea how Mizdow can win now, since Big Show's never ever been eliminated from battle royals ever

Whaat? Mizdow will Full Nelson Slam that sumbitch out of the ring like a piece of cake. :sandow:

Impossible! It cannot be! :blackshock: You can't eliminate Big Show! He's... Big! And a Show! How are you gonna slam a show? Have you ever tried to Pumphandle Suplex Breaking Bad?

The Big Show is an amazing asset for a company to have if they would use him properly instead of booking him like a top guy.

Yeah, I'm as much a fan of what Show has done recently as the next guy (which is not a fan at all) BUT if he was booked right he could be great. For his size/age he's still in great shape, if he was used in more of a gatekeeper role he could be entertaining.

"Please Retire" is a really mean chant. Holy shit man. Even if I didn't like show(I do) I would never chant anything like that, it's way worse then "fuck you" and "you can't wrestle"

:obama:

Hopefully this chant catches on with the rest of the WWE Universe

:haha: He's right, it is a little harsh. I'd rather come up with a clever chant as to why Ryback vs Big Show is at an NXT live event

Although after thinking about that... This is why wrestling is weird and the current format doesn't work.
Pardon me if there's any misinformation here, but the Authority angle doesn't feel as effective as it should and this may be a reason why. Big Show and Kane are doing the Authority's bidding for them... just to be thrown in as afterthoughts in the jobber battle royal. Makes little sense from a kayfabe standpoint, why would Triple H just cast them aside like that? Wouldn't they prefer to be a thorn in the side of the guys going after the IC Title?

But from a "creating a wrestling card" standpoint you CANNOT put them anywhere else. You can't stick them in the ladder match for that plus other obvious reasons, so here they go. At least they're good for roar spots and big eliminations.

In theory you're right, Big Show does still have a lot to contribute. But lets be real here.

The Big Show and Kane aren't main eventers. They aren't really being used a such, the Authority is just saying "rawr babyface I hate you, here deal with THE DEMON KANE tonight" as a way to use these giants as the roadblocks they are supposed to be used as. It just happens to be in main event segments.

A guy like Daniel Bryan going over a Kane or a Big Show should be a huge deal - in theory, but Kane's been beaten down so much that beating him means dick, so it just leaves the common complaint of shitty matches and terrible ratings. Same with Big Show. Can they really be used as utility guys after being booked into the ground like this?

Speaking of in theory... I was thinking about this at work, and feel free to beg me to "start a new thread u n00b" or whatnot, but want you and Balor to chime in...

What if everything DID go according to plan? What if Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns never got injured? What if we lived in a world with no hernias or broken necks?

I truly believe this whole plan was concocted BEFORE Wrestlemania 30. That's why the Streak was broken and this Lesnar warpath went on... But what if it was Bryan that got totally buttfucked at Summerslam? Would it have removed Bryan as a possible Rumble winner and made the crowd even more accepting of Reigns's win, or would the inevitability of "the chosen one" get him even more heat?

Add in the Survivor Series match, where Roman Reigns would have got Ziggler's big moment (and looked... pretty badass doing it? Not as much but shhhh we wouldn't know that). He'd be the guy who somewhat ended the Authority so there's more of a reason to cheer him. He would have had more ring time too, which could mean either more experience or more exposure.

Barring the myriad of other dominoes that would have fallen, how would the Fumble at the Rumble changed?

It's only been one RAW episode since Fast Lane ended and as of 2/24/2015 there are officially 33 days left until Wrestlemania 31.. below is a list of all the currently rumored matches that may or may not appear on the card.

Rumored Matches:

  • Bray Wyatt vs. The Undertaker (Proposed by Bray, yet to be accepted by Taker)
  • Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus
  • Randy Orton vs. Seth Rollins
  • John Cena vs. Rusev (Unknown if Title will be defended here)
  • IC Title: Bad News Barrett (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Dean Ambrose vs. R-Truth

If you hear any rumors about matches that will take place at Wrestlemania 31 than feel free to post here, this is just from what I'm reading around the web.

Brock Lessner will fight/defeat Rusev, **after** demolishing Roman Reigns *and* Seth Rollins(plus Seth Rollins' Goons,) then defeate Kane, The Big Show, Triple H, in that order with Sting for a good measure. ** Then,** Lessner will pick up Paul Heyman and pile drive him into the canvas until only Heyman's legs are showing(lol,) then Lessner will 'goose' Steph McMahon to the delight of the audience<VBG.> Then the entire Diva section will come out and do a hula dance .

You know, I think Kane and Show could be used better. Yes, they're treated as roadblocks, but as you said, they're up in the card. What's a roadblock like them for a main eventer that has already beaten them multiple times? If they were working with guys lower on the card I think it would be more effective.
If everything went according to plan I think it would've been similar, now that you mentioned it. Maybe the crowd would be more accepting of Reigns but I could still see people complaining about DB not being in the ME. But, yeah, it would've been the same situation with the intensity turned down.

Rowan should've beaten Show and gotten some credibility, Kane without the mask or anything bores me... I loved him in Team Hell No, but now he's just bad.

Oh, and Lesnar - Reigns is gonna be a trainwreck. Reigns has pretty much mostly gotten the booing or dead reactions. On RAW, he got "CM Punk!" chants during his promo which was just bad (you won't see Bryan, Ambrose or Ziggler getting those) and pretty much silence during his entrance. People don't really give a shit about the worst out of the Shield 3 superman punching his way to the Beast because Vince seems to have a man crush and thinks that the look can get you to the top, when he doesn't have the connection with the fans in the first place.

And this will result in Rollins getting crazy cheers if he cashes in on Reigns (at least if he cashed in on Bryan after he beat Lesnar, chances are, he'd retain his heel heat) and that almost ruins a whole year of becoming one of the top heels. Too early for him to turn face, he has to have a championship match with Ambrose yet, with Rollins being heel and Ambrose being face.
