Damnit, really worried about my girl Becky's health if WWE has to give away future Wrestlemania match of Ronda/Charlotte with no build for this craptastic duct tape job PPV. Crowd sure wanted Asuka vs Ronda, woulda been cool to see IMO.
oh... and I hope the Beast wipes the ring with Daniel Bryan inside of 30 seconds. Wow this is gonna be another shit show for a PPV.
Talking about Asuka, poor girl, they way they treat her is horrible. Undefeated to being beaten once to getting pushed to the lower mid card. That sucks
This happens to just about every win streak. Its really a death curse once its over.
Meh... since everyone who comes to my PPV wrestling parties says I must write for wwe because I usually can call 95% of what happens correctly... i'm Gonna say Ronda and Charlotte having a decent match then Becky comes out and beats them both up somehow.
One thing though.... it's really starting to become a little much.... and I hate to say it.... but Mauro Ranallo...
Yeesh. A little too much there, pal. I REALLY LIKE HIM. I think he's an excellent commentator... but I think he tries WAY too hard and crams far too many references, metaphors, and various literary (Alliteration anyone?) comments throughout the show.
Like... FAR TOO MANY. Last night, by the end of the show, everytime he spoke I was waiting for another reference or alliteration.
Nothing about Survivor Series yet, wow. It was an interesting PPV, not all that fantastic, but wow wtf did Charlotte do to Rousey? I watched it on mute while Walking Dead was on but holy hell she went apeshit crazy on her - full heel turn or what? Maybe "payback" for Lynch? Feel bad for Rousey despite it being staged of course, they showed a close up where it sure seemed Flair really did drill a backwards elbow into her cheek/mouth in the early minutes then Rousey was bleeding at the mouth. This fight should have been the main event IMO.
The Brock match was kind of silly would have been awesome for DB to take the W not sure what to think of this possible heel turn for DB either throwing low blows when the ref is down etc...the 205 Live match was dope as hell though I need to start watching that I think.
The real question though is does Ronda turn after the way that crowd was chanting thank you Charlotte. Ronda looked legit upset about it. Even talking shit back to the fan on the walk back to the back.

Really? Haha I missed that. I'll admit I am not a big fan of her character - her clothes, "baddest bitch" persona, makeup, in-ring cockiness, it all just doesn't seem to jive for me. A heel turn could make her character awesome though!
But, you think that will happen not this 'Mania, but next?
I mean, I think it would be rushed if it was THIS 'Mania, given 3/4 "MMA" HorseWomen are still "in" NXT.... and Becky Lynch is on an absolute tear right now on her own.
I'm effing stoked for Becky vs. Ronda at 'Mania, I don't think WWE should waste that.

Becky vs Ronda already has people interested. If they use the time Becky is out with her injury and continue to build, it will be a marquee match-up for Mania.
Baszler is killing it in NXT, she still has business in NXT, but could be called up around Mania. The other 2 need work, they appartly stunk up a house show recently.
Wouldn't a 4v4 match make more sense for Survivor Series? You have so many matchups and mileage you could get out of this. Have Charlotte and Rhona rematch. Becky vs Rhona at Mania. Bring up Baszler post Mania and have her fued with Sasha/Baley. Maybe do a tag match at Evolution. Then do the big 4 vs 4 elimation match at Survivor Series.

Yeah. Definately the next mania. Hopefully all 8 women still work there.
Going with Charlotte on the women's side... not as obvious as Asuka which was easier than picking a number between 1 & 3 last year but pretty close. Men's side gotta be Seth Rollins or Brauuuuuuuuuun.
I'm going to quote myself from 2014 in this thread. Same sentiment still applies.

You might say, "but B.A., the winner gets a title match at Wrestlemania, they can't give that to just anybody!" Wrestlemania is still like 3 months away, plenty of time for the winner to lose their shot at the title in some match on RAW or whatever so that it can be rematch #1341352351324 between Orton and Cena.
If it's not Charlotte the only other thing I could see is my girl Becky losing to Asuka because either Ronda or Alexa screw with her. Then Becky enters rumble and wins and calls out Ronda at WM.
Men's Royal - Drew McIntyre (I think this is the year they push him hard)
Women's Royal - Bayley (then another rivalry with Banks see below)
Universal Championship - Demon Balor new champ over Brock (but if reg Finn, taking Brock)
WWE championship - Bryan retains over Styles
Raw Women's Championship - Banks new champ over Rousey
Smackdown Women's Championship - Asuka retains over Lynch (Flair or somewhere will interfere)
Smackdown Tag Team - Miz/McMahon over the Bar
US Championship - Rusev retains over Nakamura
Cruiserweight Championship - Kalisto new champ over Murphy
Oh now this is fun. I mean it sounds like everyone is saying Rollins/Flair since they are top stars and most of the titles being retained due to random run-ins and nonsense just to keep everyone strong and maintain the status quo till mania, but a outcome like you said here would be much more interesting.
Men's RR - Drew had been getting a slow push all of last year, and was undefeated since his return except to a weird loss to Ziggler a few weeks ago. He is right on the cusp of being a main eventer, a RR win would be what he needs to take it to the next level.
Women's RR - Bayley would be an interesting pick. It seems likely her and Sasha are going to win the tag belts (all other teams/faction are heels.) But them being future opponents, could actually be the reason for an upset loss at Elimination Chamber, and really add some heat to the rivalry. A rematch of their Takeover classic from a few years back would be Mania worthy.
Universal Champ - If Finn is the Demon he can't lose, if he is just Man Balor, he can't win. Though everyone seems to forgotten about Strowman, this was HIS match and Lesnar screwed him out of his MitB cash-in for the title. Strowman putting a pre-match beatdown on Lesnar or distracting Lesnar mid-match could also give Balor the win here. That would keep Strowman in the main event picture to face Lesnar and/or Finn down the road.
WWE Champ - Byran retains, AJ was already champ for over a year, Byran just started his reign and "new" gimmick.
RAW Women's title - Banks beats Rhonda here. This would free up Rhona and Nattie to win the tag titles at Elimination Chamber and/or allow Rhonda to go after Lynch at Mania.
Smackdown Women's title - Becky beats Asuka. Becky is super over, do people really care about Asuka still?
Smackdown Tag Titles - Shane/Miz beat The Bar. They have been building the "best tag team in the world" storyline since Crown Jewel, if they aren't going to pay it off here, what was the point? The Bar can afford the loss.
Surprise RR stars - Batista and Undertaker to setup their mania matches. Also Alister Black since they always have one or two NXT guys.

The real question is what was David Arquette doing wrestling Nick F'n Gauge in a death match
Holy shit! Anyone watch take over?
Good stuff.

This one makes me sad

Yeah made a thread, it was noteworthy.
RIP Mean Gene.

Same here. He will be missed.
My favourite gimmick match and I barely care after what happened. Is there even 30 active women on the main shows?
