that's right kids, it's one of "the big four" so it's nigh time to stop pretending that we CSFMB folk are too good for wrasslin and it's time to embrace a thread that will likely feature terry's peeps AND frankdrebin together with possible appearances/cameos by matches malone and uhhhh... shit who else dabbles in wrestling around these parts?

it might not be the glory days with everyone's indian buddy dropin manning the thread with or without his sidekick bobby heenan (RIP.... i wonder if heaven has mults in its (digital-)ghettos?) it might not attract too many of don tiny's "good upstanding people" aka the board upper-middle-class, but hey it's gonna have spunk.... it's gonna have plenty of !!! around the imminent coronation of one roman reigns and no doubt some sort of heelish swerve featuring either ambrose or sheamus (or maybe roman Himself cuz i figure that one of roman/ambrose is going to turn heel and set up a program to take us to/thru the rumbel... that is unless the WWE gives us what we don't want and has sheamus cash in and succeed to set up a timewasting BS program to burn off the MITB and give us a meaningless feud to kill time b4 the rumbel kicks off mania season proper)

and if you wanna tell me that i'm spelling the rumbel wrong i will tell you to brush up on your CSFMB wrestling subforum history and stop being such a newburrito! THE RUMBEL IS 100% CSFMB JUST LIKE THE #ReVolution. GET YA LEARN ON KIDS.

*** = all of this is subject to change if ISIS decides to bomb the arena and literally bring down the house in a way that makes roman reigns go "damn, i wish i could do that" and gets vince to plead with ISIS like "do whatever you gotta do just please make roman look good, ok?"

There is no Big Four anymore, sini. Survivor Series hasn't had that big PPV feel to it in quite awhile now.

I saw the lineup of who was wrestling, & the only 4 I know are Alberto Del Rio, Charlotte Flair, UT & Kane.

Yeah in this Network era the only special feel events are the Rumbel, SummerFest, and of course Mania.

This show will likely suck.

The Undertaker-Kane vs Wyatts match is pointless. They killed off the heat for the showdown 2 weeks ago when they destroyed all the Wyatts.

The tournament could be exciting depending on who is given the title. Everyone expects Reigns to win and start his Cena-esque run. The best options would be having either Owens win or Reigns turning heel.

Don't really care about anything else.

No Cesaro = inexcusable

What happened to the Sasha/Natalya feud that was developing on Smackdown? Two workers like that couldn't have a match tonight?

Cesaro hurt his shoulder apparently and will be out for a while.

Not having the most best woman in WWE in Sasha on the show is inexcusable.

_________________

Forgot about Cesaro hurting his arm; he played it off pretty well last week so I thought it wasn't that serious.

Crowd is chanting for Sasha, slowly making her a babyface instead of a heel.

So who's turning: Reigns or Ambrose? I want Reigns to because he would be a better heel and provide interesting matchups, but the company seems set on making him the next Cena.

I want Reigns to turn as well but it won't happen.

Not even sure Ambrose will turn.

The worst case scenario is Sheamus cashing in.

_________________

Don't see Ambrose turning. He's their most popular baby face. Reigns should turn heel because the WWE Universe just isn't into him but we all know it won't happen.

Fuck.

Should have been a heel turn by either one. Sheamus should have had a MITB match where he loses it to go form a tag team with Barrett. WWE Title match only lasts around 9 minutes? Very disappointed by the ending, both of them.

Given what was reasonable and available, I'm okay with it. Gets the briefcase off the storyboard, and it gives them a believable temporary placeholder champion until they figure out what the hell's going on. Frankly it was so obvious that I'm embarrassed I didn't realize it until it happened.

For those who really don't like it, just bear in mind Cena will be back soon enough, and I'll leave it at that.

How is Sheamus a believable placeholder?

He's not.

He isn't. No heat whatsoever.

I hope Sheamus' sideplates on his belt are two golden potatoes


Just to reiterate:
ROME'S REIGN: 1000 YEARS
ROMAN REIGNS: 2 MINUTES


Daesh didn't need to show up, the WWE bombed itself.

Fuck you might as well just have had Hunter win the belt.

He's the only one with the heat anyway.

_________________

He doesn't need heat, the Authority has it. It's Sheamus because he's big and had the briefcase and is discarded after use with nothing lost to anyone. Relax folks and make peace with it, because this is how it is for a while. It was a shit product before, it's not like this completely changes everything.

It can also be argued this is the dead last ditch effort to make Reigns the babyfaciest title chaser of all time, and if this shitfest doesn't get him over with the people, nothing will.

And to be honest, I initially thought HHH was going to pin him and just put the belt on himself.

This was a rare chance to make a new top heel.

And they wasted it on fucking Sheamus.

Owens, or to a lesser extent Ambrose.
