Kane held the WWE championship for one day. But he’s on that list of 60 or so guys who’ve had it. And when you really step back and look at that list, it is a very prominent list to be on, no matter the value of the actual reign.

I love how a lot of people are acting like Omega signing is so obvious and boring. They clearly don’t watch his stuff if they’re that butt hurt over people being excited he’s confirmed for AEW. Yes everyone knew most likely he’d end up in AEW but the offers he received were serious life changing offers. So let people enjoy things please. I bet WWE wishes they’d of kept Cody and made him a star, because he’s costing them more money than they’d of ever payed him. Oh yeah, WWE is so gonna regret letting Cody Christ go. Im sure they saw that press conference and thought "S***, we really f***ed with Cody". Im sure FOX and Saudi Arabia are now gonna cancel their deals with WWE and go All In with All Elite Wrestling. Yeah, they're really being cost tons of money........... BTW, I agreed with everything you said about Omega, just that last two sentences just threw me off to my sarcastic post. You had me til that. They are being cost tons of money. In the grand scheme of things, no they aren’t going to hurt WWE enough to really see any effect on the surface. WWE will still hit the marks they need to hit, but there is a bleed in there that can’t be denied. A shirt sale for AEW is a t shirt sale not for WWE. They are going to offer more money across the board for talent now, because of AEW. And even bigger money for guys like Lesnar. Maybe less people sign up for the network this year because of a more accessible AEW. I understand the hype gets a little out of hand at times for AEW, but to act like they are irrelevant just doesn’t make sense.

Wow WWE and wrestling started in 2001? I know I’m coming off as a d bag but it’s a pet peeve of mine when someone says something is their favorite in the history of said thing when there’s no way they’ve seen everything in it history. Don’t take it personal. ...You do know there's a subscription-based service where you can watch thousands upon thousands of hours of pre-2001 wrestling content, right? I hear it costs $9.99. Yes I’m aware. When you watch every minute of wwe footage that exists, come back to me with your all time lists 🙄

Now Meltzer is reporting that Ambrose is a lock for AEW. Because he's friends with Jericho & Cody. So what? He's friends with many others in WWE too, and he's still leaving. And anyway, I highly doubt Ambrose has told anyone that. I would be surprised if he's even that far along yet in the thought process.
But this is the same guy who claimed Jericho's drunken rant calling out Brock for his belly, was just setting up an angle to lure Lesnar to AEW. At this point, who the hell knows, and its more annoying when marks like Meltzer claim they know s*** when they dont know d***. Like, i heard Ambrose wants to take a break after wrestling. Is it true? I dont know, im not friends with Ambrose, nor am i in contact with Ambrose, so I'll wait and see. Wish fans would do more of that instead listening to a supermark like Meltzer with his stupid ass claims, who i wouldnt be surprised if hes under AEWs pay roll. Do you even actually listen to Meltzer? I’m guessing not since you don’t seem to be a fan of him, and I’m guessing you only see his name appear when he’s said something wrong. Meltzer has uncannily gotten a lot of things right, and most of the things he gets wrong he has no problem with saying things changed and he doesn’t know why. And the people that always make fun of him for saying things like “things changed” don’t understand how often things actually do change. He’s the most honest dirt sheeter there is who sometimes and even often at times gets fed bad info. It’s the nature of reporting on fake wrestling.

wwe went with their hottest male and female superstars to win the rumbles. totally shocked. Now comes the "it was too predictable / there are no surprises" complaints. I mean come on though, you can’t argue Becky and Rollins winning wasn’t predictable. I think everyone’s happy with the results but you can’t deny the predictability.

Predictable. But there were worse options.

Rollins or Braun winning will be so predictable and underwhelming

Man wwe’s pacing is so terrible. Ready for the rumble? Here’s 10 minutes of Elias instead.

No one even gets a rub from going in there and having a match like that with Brock any more. He’s more than over stayed his welcome and at this point I’d take Zack Ryder beating him.

Surely they wouldn’t do the Bryan and Styles formula again with a Balor. Surely they wouldn’t have Balor come out as the ordinary man to face Brock . Oh.
Guess this is the change wwe was talking about.

The problem with these Styles/Bryan type matches being such duds lately is the pacing. They’re long and drawn out. Way too much down time for these kinds of wrestlers. Then throw weird finishes on top of them (Nakamura/Styles, Joe/Styles, and now Bryan/Styles) and you’ve got a sure fire method for a badly received match.

Blaming WWE’s booking is not a cop out, it’s fact. Nakamura isn’t a dud in WWE because of himself, that’s on wwe. They never wanted him to be a huge star. Source? He was the top guy on NXT and they created a hell of an entrance for him, he came to the main roster with a lot of fanfare and has clean singles wins over Cena and Orton, and won the Royal Rumble and got a WWE title match at WrestleMania. Nakamura is a terrible example for you to use for a "DAMN U VINCE WHY U DO THE HOLD DOWN ON MY FAVORITE WRESTLERS" rant. What does this even mean? That's an incredibly ignorant statement, and very insulting to all of the wrestlers who have worked their asses off to become top stars. You completely proved my point. He was hot in NxT had great matches. He came in with buzz. Then they jobbed him to Jinder. They chose when he would be hot, and they choose when they’ll cool off on him. Nakamura didn’t drop the ball, WWE has. You really don’t think WWE holds certain wrestlers down? Really?

I know wwe like to blow their load way too much and too often, but having Balor interrupt Brock tonight as the Demon King would be smart and build some real hype.

I mean, he's technically not wrong. You cant really say their runs have been successful. Yes you can blame WWE for booking because that's the easiest cop out but Asuka has no connection to fans and she's really fit more for a major Indie fed/NXT where there is a more "marky" crowd. Nakamura is a fantastic talent but he just simply doesnt "fit" in WWE. As amazing as Japanese talents are, they never blend well into major US wrestling. Even Muta & Chono were still a little "off" during their runs in WCW. The most "connected" Japanese wrestler has been Samoan. Blaming WWE’s booking is not a cop out, it’s fact. Nakamura isn’t a dud in WWE because of himself, that’s on wwe. They never wanted him to be a huge star. If it weren’t for Styles booking, he’d be in Nakamura spot right now. WWE clearly chooses who they want to succeed. No one succeeds there based on merit or talent.

If he comes out as the demon, the general audience reaction is going to be whoa something might happen here. They need to pull the trigger NOW on something like this. Everyone had the same feeling when Brock faced AJ and Bryan. We want to see that underdog beat Brock clean for being so cocky. WWE has talked of change, and there’s been some tiny glimmers but for the most part it’s the same ol’ same ol’.
This can be the kickoff into them really meaning it and roll into Mania 35 full force with an anything can happen feel. If he beats Brock, the Rumble immediately becomes infinitely more exciting.
Like said by someone else, this match might be the true test if they’re serious about fan service and change.
This is the WWE that has trolled me repeatedly over the last 5 years. There’s a big chance Balor comes out as the ordinary man. No Demon King, and he gets rag dolled across the ring for 10 minutes before eating an F5.
And there’s also the chance of them beating a dead horse and Balor getting some shots in reminiscent of the Aj/Bryan matches, but a 3rd time of that happening is over kill.
It might sound marky, but at this point anything but Balor winning as the Demon King is WWE proving their stuck in their ways, and the promise of a change is just another lie.

You wouldn’t think that he’d be very engaged with the fans after all these years, but when I met him in 2015 he was very chill, like one of the best meets I’ve had. I told him that his match vs HBK at Mania 25 was my favorite of all time, and he took the time to tell me a story about the match. He’s not a in your face “Nice TO MEET YA BUDDY” guy, but you can tell that he cares about the fans. I felt very respected. He also has a really nice looking autograph and even takes time to sign things personalized and with “Rest In Peace!” On most of the things I saw him sign.

It’s kind of dumb to speculate on this with as little information as there is on it. Maybe his mom died, or his aunt got diagnosed with cancer, so he had anxiety at a taping and went home for a bit. Maybe WWE is totally cool with it. Maybe they pushed his debut back a bit because he has some personal stuff going on.
Stop assuming a bunch of crap that no one really knows.

I still don’t understand why people think WWE is so untouchable. Prime WCW was more popular and had more people watching than WWE does now, and it’s dead. And it died only 2 years after their peak.
Literally the only thing that keeps WWE in business is their name and global presence. Bigger companies that made more money have died. I guess it doesn’t seem fathomable because everyone knows them from as far back as their memory goes, but they’ve barely even been a company a one life time and it could be gone a lot easier than people think.
