Big Boss Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Why is Royal Rumble for the championship? And who gets to be the no. 1 contender then?Because Vince had this stupid idea of title defense in RR match. No idea about no 1 contender.

Black_Hawk Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Poor Vince... searching for eye drops in the middle of the match! So, lo and behold Roman Reigns wins and retains his title at the Royal Rumble and the WWE universe goes mad with joy... LoL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abhi90 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Definitely. Which stand? The 15th card looks better plus day 1 energy should be better. I'll make the booking this week. Anyone else? Aft, BigBoss? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Even I've yet to book. Let's book together. Anyone else wanna chime in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.HaPPineSS Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 When I posted on here about Aj being signed, At that time every website was running around with the news as confirmed, only after that the other news dropped they havent signed. But I do still believe he has signed Why the title being defended is to make look Reigns super strong, Or maybe make him lose at the end and lead a feud with HHH at mania.

abhi90 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Styles and Nakamura would get GINORMOUS pops at the Rumble, if they are to enter. Even though a lot wouldn't know them. AND I want Raullo to announce the Royal Rumble match. I've been disappointed these past few rumble's. Hope it's worth it this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ph3N0M Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 If they book AJ Styles vs Chris Jericho for Wrestlemania, I'd cream ny pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santanu18 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) AJ Styles is not called Phenom anywhere, don't get mistaken by my handle. He was called The Phenomenal AJ Styles in TNA IIRC. Samoa Joe, Finn Balor aka Prince Devitt, Apollo Crews aka Uhaa Nation are given proper attention and push in NXT, even Asuka aka Kanna too. I wonder why not with AJ. They let go Solomon Crowe (although it's been a few months) aka Sami Callahan and James Storm for a reason to hire top talents. If they book AJ Styles vs Chris Jericho for Wrestlemania, I'd cream ny pants. I wish that happens but it won't. Daniel Bryan wants to face both Styles and Nakamura. I haven't booked Saturday's ticket. I hope to get some discount or something over there. Depending on how good they organized I will decide. 3 years ago when RAW was interesting on this day. CM Punk made things interesting and can't say the same after he left. Edited January 8, 2016 by santanu18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They let go Solomon Crowe (although it's been a few months) aka Sami Callahan and James Storm for a reason to hire top talents. Thing is that no matter how well NXT is booked, it is treated like an inferior thing in the "WWE Universe" in the sense that when one of its talents debuts on the main roster, it is called an upset if he beats a main roster member, and he is always treated like that till he becomes a somewhat regular. The four rumored wrestlers are above that level (heck, a lot of the current NXT roster is above that level). Especially, AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura who are already multiple-time world champions and sell out 20-30k arenas due to their starpower. Just watch Styles vs Nakamura from the Tokyo Dome and tell me if WWE will ever allow them to have something special like that. That match screams WrestleMania main-event quality but the WWE will be blind in appreciating that: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3ky0fe_aj-styles-vs-nakamura-shinsuke-njpw-wrestle-kingdom-10_sport Edited January 8, 2016 by Ph3N0M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santanu18 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I understand what you are saying. I saw that match. WWE is more about entertainment and story telling whereas NJPW and ROH is all about Wrestling. WWE protects their wrestlers by limiting the number of moves and high risk spots. I totally agree with the silly concept that NXT is portrayed as a developmental territory. It has come a long way since FCW days. They need to stop using the cliché ridden stories to put a guy over instead build around top guys like Joe, Balor etc. Hope it will change.

Ph3N0M Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Usually the best matches aren't those that have a lot of insane high-risk moves with no connections or storytelling, even in NJPW or ROH. The reason I posted a link to that match again was because it was great from every standpoint, even storytelling and drama. I just rewatched it in English and had goosebumps, so hard to get after watching wrestling for more than 15 years. That's Match of the Year right there, in the very first week of the year! WWE should have made NXT as a separate entity more catered towards the smart fans, with its own World title and everything. That way if a wrestler debuts on RAW, it would be like how it was treated when someone jumped ship from WCW back in the day. That would be a more meaningful type of brand split. I would have them pretend as if WWE and NXT are different wrestling organizations in the same universe (in the sense that they acknowledge each other freely). WWE has become so big that it needs to create its own competition artificially like that to keep from getting stale. PS: AJ was called The Phenomenal One in TNA, not the same as The Phenom.

achilles Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Even I've yet to book. Let's book together. Anyone else wanna chime in? Hey. Just saw this. I booked already. 1-123. Let's meet up before going in. I'll try to be there by 5 and see the vibe. Hopefully this should be good fun. I missed being at WM31 by a hair this year and I really regret it. So this will have to do for being my first live pro wrestling event. Guys, those who're going to be there, let's create a whatsapp group or something. PM me your numbers and I'll create one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mohit9206 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 AJ Styles is not called Phenom anywhere, don't get mistaken by my handle. [emoji14] Man I don't want to watch the WWE again, I just cannot stand it everytime I watch it. One PPV (Wrestlemania) a year is too much for me. Will need to try to watch again if AJ shows up. Good to know I'm not the only one who cannot stand it. I cannot remember the last time i watched a full wwe show without fast forward. Even with fast forward its too much to bear. This most recent Vince Reigns storyline is utter garbage. I love AJ Styles. He's gonna ruin his credibility if he joins WWE and he also knows it. But then its difficult to say no to the kind of money only wwe can afford to give you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
