The funny thing is though when you've been collecting for awhile you can tell the lips, honestly you can. Like in 2016 there is a set of kiss cards that the Asuka and Nikki Bella kisses are all switched. It's completely obvious too as Asuka always has a narrow little kiss mark and Nikki is much bigger and wider.
I take back what I said about putting the title on DB.
"The Planet's Champion" and the sustainable championship made from hemp is amazing. The New Daniel Bryan cutting promo's on people for eating hot dogs and over consuming is pure gold.
It's one of my favourite "gimmicks" in recent wrestling memory.
I'm loving the Becky Lynch thing, too.
Seems like WWE is doing a similar storyline to Seth Rollins' a few years back. I think it's all just a way to make Becky even more of an underdog and she will just "fight her way back" into he main event of Wrestlemania.
I think Becky vs. Ronda should be the REAL MAIN EVENT of wrestlemania and close the show.
Had pretty good seats, right up above where they hosted the kickoff show (which we missed cause parking was really crowded) and right under the Wrestlemania sign.
Both of the Elimination Chamber matches were great. The women all got their stuff in, it was fun to see live. Banks and Bailey deserve the titles, they should be good champions and hopefully we get to see them against some of the nxt and uk teams in the future.
Byran's new gimmick is amazing, great promos, and with Rowan and the Hemp belt, I think he will be champion for awhile. The men's match was really intense once it got down to Byran and Kofi, crowd was really getting into it. Also Finn Balor as new IC champ, wow, didn't see that coming.
Fun night and we are getting the rumble next year.
I saw that DX making the hall of fame was front page news on ESPN yesterday, sweet. HBK is my fave wrestler all time and DX / NWO were my 2 favorite factions by far. Glad to see them getting some love!

Quoted for... RTruth... see what I did there? Hate to say it but he’s right, they never do 2 dead people in same year. Vader probably next year unless there is a chance because all DX but her will be there.

Unless they count her as the woman. And I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
Darktone isn't wrong on the "rules" for the HOF...
Heart Foundation would be absolutely EPIC.
I was REALLY hoping that the Ric Flair birthday was going to end with Becky Lynch jumping Ric and basically holding him hostage until HHH gave her the title shot at 'Mania.
*All superstars leave the ring for Ric to have his "moment". They exit the ring and stay at the stage.
When Ric is in the ring giving his respect to the fans, Becky jumps him and puts him in an armbar. She screams at Hunter/Steph "DO NOT come any closer or I'll rip his arm off!!!"
Then she demands her title shot... and reluctantly HHH and Stephanie finally concede her title shot at Wrestlemania.
Becky demands Ric Flair call her "The Man", (Becky: "To be the man, you gotta beat the man... well I'm beating him. Call me The Man, say it, say it!" Ric: You're the man, you're the man!!") then she lets him go, and Raw goes off the air...
Interesting fantasy booking. Not sure how you would factor in Charlotte.
She would have to be at her dad's party. Or come down to the ring when the best down starts. So you would end with Charlotte holding her limp father crying which would make her the baby face in the match.
The whole reason Charlotte is in the match is they are afraid of Rousey being booed. Charlotte is a natural heel and can get heat. This is prob why she came out the next night and cut a heel promo without even mentioning her father's beat down from the night before.

That was my dream scenario.
Holy shit! I would have loved that. 2 things confuse me.
1) HHH is a heel, but a face fighting Batista. Can't be both.
2) They won't let Kofi, Becky AND Seth win belts at mania. Which really sucks.

Good point. Well... she wasn't there, was she? I remember thinking about how they would give Becky the space. ("Here Ric, the ring is yours") And I don't recall seeing Charlotte on the stage?
But anyways... I was just thinking that because Becky would be yelling "Get back, get back!!!" that someone would be "restraining" Charlotte.
Charlotte holding Ric in the ring after would be great, though, as Becky leaves through the fans. I think the fans would love it. And Ric Flair is classic for putting people over.
It wouldn't have to be violent or weird like Batista dragging Ric out half dead. Becky could basically sit on him a bit while HHH/Stephanie/Charlotte are watching in dismay.
Ric facials and vocals are great. Him in an armbar and screaming would be EPIC. I don't even think Charlotte has to be there, but if so, it's easy to include her.
I never really thought about the fact that Charlotte might STAY in the match... But, I guess that does make sense from WWE's perspective and actually making it a crazy/good match.
Although Ronda has done well, and I think Becky could carry it. Charlotte is great in the ring. I still think it should be Becky vs. Ronda 1 on 1.

Wow. Thank you for your the thumbs up.
Yeah, I hear you with the HHH/Batista thing. Is Batista supposed to be the good guy for beating up Ric Flair? It doesn't make any sense.
(I mean, I know theoretically that goes against my Becky Lynch example, but I think they are two entirely different situations. The crazier shit Becky does, the more the fans are going to love it. Also, her "taking" the name "The Man" would have been incredible, in my books. Bootista being tough just for the sake of it. I'm not into that. Please see above for more reasons)
You make an excellent point about Seth, Kofi, and Becky.
It (WWE and the two shows, and hours of programming) is getting to the point where we have 3 legitimate main events with Stone Cold/Shawn Michaels level builds. You know what I mean... back in the day, when they spent 6 months building towards The Rock vs. Stone Cold at Wrestlemania. Fuck that shit was epic.
Well... we're on our way there with the three stated main events. Each amazing in their own right.
I'm all over this #KofiMania thing. I love it. Perfect for WM and DB. As DB didn't seem like he had a clear opponent?
Seth vs. Lesnar at WM is great, too. Seth has sold it and made it interesting. It could be a great match, no doubt. I WANT Seth to win and it be great and all... but unfortunately, I think I want Becky more.
Becky has been keeping shit interesting for far too long to be denied the Main Event and title win.
But... it's a LONG show.
If Kofi wins it off the top, Seth can win around the 3 hour mark, leaving some space before Becky wins in the main event.
Come on guys this is so easy to see what's going on. The WWE is basically telling us flat out... we need Becky to win at Mania as fans will revolt otherwise but oh no can't have Ronda take a loss. But shit, fans don't want Charlotte in there for triple threat as it will be obvious she'll take the pin to keep Ronda strong. So what do we do... ah ok let's take Becky out and put Charlotte in. Everyone boo'd the triple threat idea before. But know people are chanting triple threat to get Becky back in. Lol, like sheep for the WWE creative to herd. Now Becky wins at Fast Lne to be in triple threat at Mania and people cheer like they won, and wwe get's what it needed all along.

Rhonda's heel turn changes things. They cut out the wrestling superfan who was humble and happy to be there act, and now she is a trash talker who can back it up in the ring, which works cause that is closer to who she really is and how she was in her MMA run. They don't have to worry about her being booed and Becky being cheered.
I don't think the Fastlane match will be so cut and dry. Rhonda will must surely get involved to either help Becky win by attacking Charlotte, or attack Becky and give Becky the win by DQ.
I don't really have a problem with Charlotte in the Wrestlemania match. She cuts a good promo, is good in the ring, and she adds extra star power. Her taking a pin would keep your top heel and top babyface looking strong, and allow the fued to continue.
So if Becky wins at Mania, you can have a heel Rhonda come back and claim Becky never truely defeated her and set up a 1v1. I mean who else is Becky going to defend the campionship against really? Dana Brook? Rhonda can just swoop in every week to mess with all of Becky's matches, and mess with all the other female matches too until she gets a title shot at MitB or Summerslam.
If Rhonda wins at Mania, you could give her a heel run with the title. She can come out everyweek and talk $hit about how she destroyed the entire women's division and nobody can stop her. But she never truely defeated Becky and Becky can stand up to her and win the 1v1 bout at a future PPV.
Also if they are ever going to do the Horsewomen of WWE vs Horsewomen of MMA, all the pieces are pretty much going to be in place. Charlotte and Becky can put aside their differences because both have beef with a heel Rhonda. Rhonda can get backup from Shayna, Marina, and Jessamyn, who are already heeling it up in NXT. Charlotte and Becky join up with tag champions Sasha and Bailey. They can trade victories and titles in all kinds of combinations of singles and tag matches back and forth for months and you can build up to an epic 4v4 Survivor Series elimination match to see which Horsewomen stable rules.
You shouldn't consider Rhonda and Becky's first match to be their last. This has legs and getting other women involved will help build even bigger things.

They probably pay some homeless woman $1 a card to kiss them.
