Yeah Nigel could have been big But yeah they eventually got bryan right ...just took a massive backlash from the fans though
Come on wwe are by no way stupid, they knew as soon as the rumble happened, and probably before that, that Bryan was winning at Wrestlemania as vince knew they needed the big pay off for taker losing
It wasnt planned at all It was a total change in plans Its not the first time theyve changed plans halfway through and it wont be the last. I believe wcw were famous for changing the script the day of shows/ppv and wwe is no different
Had fucking JBL's theme in my head all day <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4066U5H9bhk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Fuck he used to make me mad Legit wanted to see people like eddie beat the shit out of him, and this was in smark days
Theres a commentary track from ECW one night stand 05 where its JBL mic'd up and holy fuck he's on fire all night. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x12kptj_ecw-jbl-commentary-1_sport "I GOT A TICKET YOU LITTLE MEXICAN" at rey As the BWO comes out: "And you wonder they they went out of business" When Lance Storm runs in: "You can hear the paint dry. Here comes the most boring man in the history of boring. Lance Storm couldn't fill an arena if you gave free beer and free tickets. They say he's retiring today, (mumbled) if a tree falls in a forrest, no one cares. National Hockey League. No one cares." And he yells something at Benoit along the lines of WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? YOU MAKE MONEY
One year ago he got booed when he won the Rumble in Philly. One year later he gets cheered when he wins the title in Philly. That was very well booked to be fair. Well played
Yeah looks like WWE have wiped the slate pretty clean leading up the new year. The biggest thing I'm upset about is how likely it seems Lesnar will win the Rumble.
Yeah lesnar winning the rumble would be pretty cool A lesnar-reigns title match at wrestlemania is probably the best they can do in their current situation It sucks that the one wrestlemania i finally get to go to, is the one where they have a stupidly huge injury list.
Yeah with what they have at the moment, there are only a few people who could win it. That would be imo: Kevin Owens Brock Lesnar Dean Ambrose John Cena The injury list takes so many out of the equation it's ridiculous
Who do you guys want to see as surprise entrants at the rumble? (doesnt have to be based on any sort of realistic chances) Would love to see kurt angle in there if only as a one off apperance. The pop would be amazing Sami Zayn would be great as you expect at least one NXT guy in there and if you have him in there at same time as kevin owens, it would help continue that feud.
Sami Zayn, Finn Balor or Samoa Joe. In that order too. I'd want them to last till final four too. A Jericho appearance to lead into a feud would be alright too.
Yeah angle and Joe would be sick. I actually would like to see Batista again. I actually felt sorry for him for getting such a bad wrap last time because he was booked so poorly. If they didn't announce his return before and just made him a surprise entrant he would've had a huge pop and wouldn't have had all the hate because of Daniel Brian. I'm assuming Cena will be one.
