Spoiler....
































Rollins beats Reigns, then Ambrose cashes in his newly won MITB and becomes the WWE Champion

Who knows how long it will be up ... from Ambrose arriving to cash in to the end of the show ... https://streamable.com/0599

Thanks.

I have always liked Ambrose.

WWE starts listening to the fans...what 6 months too late? Hell, Reigns was getting boo'd in the lead-up to Mania, when people knew Vince/Steph/HHH were going to slap the belt on him.

We're in the minority Gay, but I'm with you.

I just don't get the Ambrose love. People talk about him being the reincarnation of Brian Pillman and I just don't see it. He looks as though he wrestles in slo-motion and has a ridiculous looks, especially his hairline. Accept inevitability Dean.

And I'm also over the "Cashing In" concept. It's too predictable and just another gimmick in a long line of them. I hate that I've become the cynical fan who seems to crap on everything but the McMahon brand of creativity has worn me down.

Ambrose has always been one of my favorite guys since the Shield first showed up.

He can talk and has a unique personality.

He can work in the ring. He is not a guy that is going to do one high spot after another. He is slow and deliberate. I like that. From that sense he is IMO a throwback to guys like Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard. Not overly impressive physically, but can do all the small things and can tell a story in the ring.

I think a program with him and Rollins could be great.

Yeah I know I'm on an island with my Ambrose thoughts but I just find the guy boring.

Speaking of The Shield, they were broken up way to early. We should just be entering their breakup phase but like everything else, the WWE rushed through the process.

They had a decent program last summer when Rollins was champion. Dean has a quirky personality that makes him a huge babyface and is able to hold the attention fans when on the mic.

The thing is I think Reigns is probably a superior worker to Ambrose at this point but he's just so tainted from the overpush that even a step down in terms of champion work rate is still seen as a refreshing change of pace.

Looks like we're getting the Sasha/Charlotte program. Wyatts are back tonight.

Like when McMahon's limo blew up in a ball of flames and then he was fine a month later? Or like when they had an anonymous GM running things for two years and then at the end we found out it was Hornswoggle?

Eck said that he wanted the Anonymous Raw GM to be Kevin Nash, with the idea that Nash had to keep his identity secret due to being under contract to TNA. It would be revealed that the e-mails were being sent from the production truck, and when investigated, Kevin Nash would be there in a wizard's hat, a play off of his WCW Oz character.

The storyline was dropped right before Eck made it to the WWE, but says that ideas were pitched on occasion to finish the storyline. One writer joked that Hornswoggle should be revealed as the Raw GM, because the payoff of him being revealed as McMahon's son was so bad. They thought it was so ridiculous that McMahon may go for it.

"The idea was that after Hornswoggle was outed as the GM, he'd reveal who he truly was," Eck wrote, "saying that his name was Lou Manfredini (the last name of one of the writers), he would speak with a W.C. Fields-like accent, chomp on cigars and refer to women as 'dames.'"

Hornswoggle was eventually going to become a heel manager, and Vince McMahon greenlit the idea. However, Hornswoggle couldn't fit the role when they tried it out, and he wasn't given much time to prepare for it. Eck said that the angle was so bad that Vince McMahon actually apologized to Jerry Lawler for involving him in it.

My wrestling guys might disagree with you, but I cannot articulate their input.

Upon further research, the writer was Nick Manfredini... his first job was working on the Howard Stern show. I'm not yet able to find a link betwen Lou and Nick, but I do know that Lou has four children and since he works in radio, could have broken the ice with Stern.
