WWE Raw 4/11/16 April 11, 2016: Is AJ Styles our next WWE World Heavyweight Champion?

[Smart Marx]

LOL nobody remembers that Hogan lost, the crowd reaction was the story....and he won the title two months after.

Was Scott Hall supposed to beat Steve Austin? Doubt it.

Yes, he was. It was in the cards until the day before or the day of. And I believe everyone remembers that the nWo failed to make an impact at WrestleMania. Hogan won the title, but he wasn't in the nWo. In all honesty, if WWE wanted to make the nwo work, they should have done Austin/Hogan and had the nWo murder him win or lose. After it was all said and done, Austin should have been taken off TV for a month. Maybe he wouldn't have quit in June if he had a short break.

 

[Smart Marx]

If it works...it's not stale.

Who decides if it works? And yes it can work and be stale. I know you're a John Cena guy, but if he had even one heel turn in the last 15 years, he probably wouldn't get booed by half the crowd on most nights.

Roman got the whole crowd standing during the main event, 69 year title run incoming

Why 69?

If Reigns and Wyatt were around 10 years ago...they'd be tag champs already.

And then dropped them a week later after getting into a fight with each other.

It appears this babyface turn may be breathing new life into The Eater of Words. Good for Bray.

 

[Crippler]

look at this white meat babyface hott tag, it might make me jump on the wagon

You going with Scott Halls drunken shoots? I'm going with Steve Austin's podcast with Scott Hall to tell me that story.

Steve Austin was the horse still pulling the cart, he was still the biggest draw they had, having him lose at the big show would've been stupid.

First off, Hall would've been fired regardless and his win would've meant Jack shit. Austin would've left sooner.

 

[Smart Marx]

Should The Family interfere if they're supposed to be babies now?

Yes he would, the audience would've just switched the other way.

You know what decides if something isn't stale....if it makes money.

 

[Crippler]

Anyone but you, tag team partner would have worked if roman wasn't the world champ

 

[Petty]

John Cena a cornball who is only worried about money and t-shirt sales..I hope they don't put another World title on him until he decides to actually play ball and turn heel..I'll forever boo Cena until he can make the flip like an Austin, or a Rock or Taker or a Ric Flair.

Bray as a babyface I can get behind.

 

[Sabretooth]

Roman and Bray take us home. Good night all been a pleasure.

I've not see this podcast, regardless, having Hall and Hogan lose at WrestleMania a month in shows they didn't want it to work. The nWo rarely lost big show matches. SuperBrawls and Starrcades were like Heel Paydays. The nWo came out of WrestleMania looking like they couldn't handle anything the WWF threw at them. Especially with Hogan refusing to beat down The Rock. Scott Hall being fired later, has no bearing on WWE's booking of him at WrestleMania. And like I said, the money match was Austin/Hogan anyway. By switching it to Austin/Hall in the first place, they were already cooling on the idea of the nWo being a big angle in the WWE.
