He was unbelievable on the Mic last night. While I do tend t get bored watching his Matches, I could listen to him talk for hours. So confident.

That was a really good Raw. It's good that they gave Cesaro and Ryback the chance to make a claim for themselves (as patronising as it is). While it does seem like it's going back to square one again, The Authority back will be must-see Television. I'm really starting to think they will go with Rollins over Lesnar now.

I'm pretty sure Brock Lesnar is done with the WWE after this run. Other than facing The Rock at Wrestlemania, there isn't much else he can accomplish.

Then where does this leave Lesnar at for Mania? If Reigns is going over, they'll want him to look as strong as possible by beating Lesnar. However, this could lead us to another Batista situation from last year, so if they want the fans to genuinely get behind Reigns, then having him go over Cena would be better for him. Rollins should be left in the air as their Plan B, as they could have Heyman get him to cash in out of desperation once Lesnar loses, or even build him like they did with Batista turning babyface on Evolution.
Said this time and again, Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose would be their best way to go at Wrestlemania. Lesnar could still look strong losing as he wouldn't have to be pinned, and the whole picture would have a better back story. It also leaves them with more options in regards to who walks out as Champion. Cena can then face Rusev.

My big worry is that Roman Reigns will end up getting the Batista treatment from fans from last year, which is actually understandable the way it is going. Reigns is not ready, but it's plain and simple that despite what the fans want, they have already made their minds up a long time ago that this is the guy that they want. Realistically, he's done nothing to warrant that spot whatsoever. He had one feud with Randy Orton then went away injured. He's still incredibly green and worked hardly any lengthy Singles Matches, yet they have decided he is getting this spot to beat Brock Lesnar and win the World Championship at Wrestlemania. Sure, he has a great look, a great background, and a good babyface rub from the Shield splitting, but he needs time, and build, so the audience can naturally get behind him. As of now he is a plastic put there by the Machine.
You have to look at other options though. Daniel Bryan is nowhere near healthy. Dean Ambrose has worked hard and has a lot of support, but still needs building and repackaging slightly. Seth Rollins is Heel, although he has a lot more credibility to take the Belt than Reigns does right now. In my personal opinion, they would be better off buying themselves some time and just having Brock Lesnar vs The Rock for the Title (for example, with Lesnar retaining), then having Reigns or Bryan win the Belt at Summerslam.

The more they keep Lesnar off of TV while he is Champion, the more fans will long for someone to hurry up and beat him. Essentially, this will make the fans get behind Reigns to finally take the Belt off of Lesnar. That's the WWE's logic anyway, even if I personally feel like Reigns will be like Batista last year all over again.

Not happy with the amount of Job Offers available on this Career Mode. Gone my last two Seasons unbeaten in all Competitions, and in my last Season I won every single Game in all Comps, yet I only had offers from Fiorentina, Sociedad and Lille. Messi notched 123 times in jus 48 Games too. Was hoping for a move elsewhere after three Seasons of dominance though.
Entering my fourth Season now. Neymar demanded a Transfer, so I accepted PSG's offer of £102,000,000, then for some reason the Club sold him to City for only £68,000,000?! Accepted the fact that I probably wont better the Season I just had in terms of Goals scored (282) or winning every Game, so I'm going to have a transitional year and just play pure youth as much as I can, then hopefully get a move at the end of the Year.

While the Vigilante does make sense after what he did, it should not overtake what The Icon does for Sting.

In my eyes, I think it is down to the Mid Card talent themselves to try and make something extraordinary of their given storyline around Wrestlemania time to make it interesting. The WWE builds and plans for Wresltlemania in advance, but only around the huge Superstars that draw for Wrestlemania. It's the biggest stage, so its imperative that they plan for John Cena, Triple H, Brock Lesnar & The Undertaker. It's up for Ziggler & Ambrose themselves for example to try and pull something out of the bag to make us interested and to lock their place on that Card.

I think the Card will be something similar to this;
WWE World Heavyweight Championship Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns
Triple H vs Sting
Undertaker vs Bray Wyatt
John Cena vs Rusev
Seth Rollins vs Randy Orton
However, I think there is still a possibility of having Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose in a Fatal Four Way. If not, then there is also the option that Rollins could cash in on Roman Reigns through desperation of Heyman, or Brock Lesnar after being constantly blocked from the Title by Heyman.

This is really pretty simple. Rollins stomped Brock and came "this" close to beating him. Heyman saw that as a threat, one he really couldn't control. So instead of worrying about Rollins any time Brock is on tv, Heyman struck a deal. Now, Rollins bides his time and he has Brock and Heyman as both protection and representation. In return, Rollins doesn't cash-In on Brock and by extension, Brock doesn't kill Rollins. I think Brock is gone after Mania and this is the longterm plan for Heyman. It helps legitimize Rollins too if they let him win the title. Reigns beats Brock and Heyman immediately has Rollins to go after Reigns if Brock is gone. It also reinforces the sellout character for Rollins, as he'll make a deal with the Devil to stay ahead. Spot on. I wish the Commentary team would describe it this way rather than confusing us even more. In what has become the era of unpredictability, the WWE have also insured themselves with a Plan B/C. They have the option for Rollins to cash in immediately on Reigns if he beats Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania through desperation from Heyman. Or they could even go the other way by having Rollins constantly blocked from the Title by Heyman until he finally turns and cashes on Lesnar after he wins (built similarly to the way Batista turned on Triple H back in 2005).

If it wasn't a lock already, then Reigns winning the Rumble now is a given.

Messi is currently a 97 for me on Career Mode. Didn't even know OVR could go that high.

Silly idea to have Reigns come back early just for that. Should have kept him away from Live TV until his Return to ensure he's as hot as he can be (presuming that's what they want). Even Kayfabe-wise, how Brock Lesnar didn't get Superstar of the Year for ending the Streak and becoming WWE World Heavyweight Champion is mind boggling.

I love Photo editorials like this, especially with behind the scenes kind of images. Reminds me of that big Unscripted Book they released. Wish the font was smaller on those images though.

Jose complained that they lost because of the ball boys, cheeky er. If anyone takes his ball boys comments serious then they're stupid. He's doing it purely to take the attention, pressure and responsibility away from the Team. I've said it all along we wouldn't go unbeaten. While it is a shame to lose the Streak, I'm not too disheartened about it. It was already beginning to spiral into some 'big thing' and was getting into the Players minds. It was only 14 Games into the League Season, we don't need that sort of added pressure about not losing a Game. Shows how quickly things can change though with the gap going straight back to just three points after all that hard work. Still take our Record Points Season over Arsenal's unbeaten one any day though.

The biggest Wrestlemania Dream Match I wanted was Undertaker vs John Cena whilst the Streak was still going. Now it would have to be Stone Cold vs John Cena, Stone Cold vs CM Punk, Kurt Angle vs Triple H and Kurt Angle vs Daniel Bryan.

I genuinely think he may get some real heat this time around. A lot more fans have become discgruntled with how the WWE Championship situation has panned out. Realistically though, if anything it has added value to the Belt as it is now only defended once every few months so it becomes a huge deal. Also, it has allowed guys like Seth Rollins, Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, and even Sting to come forward in place during his absence. I still feel Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns vs Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins would be a better way to go that just having Lesnar lose clean and one on one to Reigns.

Triple H has always been bitter towards CM Punk out of pure jelousy. Punk has such a logical and positive business mind especially when it comes to booking. I've always been a big Triple H fan, but the points he made about Triple H were completely fair. CM punk was red hot, yet for no reason Triple H wanted to return to the ring so he could ride the Punk wave and ultimately just beat him for no reason. Even if he was going to put Punk over at Wrestlemania 30, there was no need for the Match to happen. At that point, CM Punk was a lot more relevant than Triple H was, and by fighting Triple H at that point in time would only of hindered his own reputation.
