Conor Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I think it makes sense for everyone involved to be honest. Summerslam and UFC 200 benefit from it, WWE benefit if Lesnar wins, and it won't take much work for them to redeem him if he loses (not that they'll mention it). Lesnar returns at Summerslam having lost, heel pokes fun at it, Lesnar destroys said heel and countless other people over the next few weeks, enters feud with someone credible who he can't manage to instantly murder.

Gackt Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I get the impression that it might have been a trade-off, UFC gets Lesnar for a match while WWE gets Rousey for a match CM Punk might as well call Vince and apologize at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 If Lesnar wins, he'll be fed to Reigns at SummerSlam. I don't think Punk will be apologizing anytime soon, after-all... Triple H will probably be running the company unless it gets sold by Vince. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLegend Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Here's some amusing stats that I copied/pasted from the Observer. These are the most wins/losses in 2015 including House Shows (I only copied results of people with over 100 of either) WINS Roman Reigns 192/219 Dean Ambrose 150 /217 Ryback 137/170 Neville 130/190 John Cena 126/136 Sin Cara 115/162 Dolph Ziggler 115/168 Cesaro 115/185 Charlotte 108/146 Kalisto 107/162 Finn Balor 106/128 LOSSES Konnor 143/162 Viktor 143/162 Adam Rose 140/149 Bo Dallas 140/156 Bray Wyatt 132/162 Heath Slater 129/130 Seth Rollins 124/176 Luke Harper 119/181 King Barrett 118/161 The Miz 113/131 Stardust 110/148 Tyler Breeze 103/149 Now sure, you should take into account the crowd being sent home happy and who's a face/heel. That said keep in mind... that Bray keeps getting positioned as a threat and Seth was a long reigning champion. -edit- Lesnar's facing Mark Hunt as per the rumors a few days ago. Alot of people don't fancy Lesnar's chances. Edited June 6, 2016 by AtariLegend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlslash Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Unless we're getting Balor-ed by one or both of them, we should get Boss and Bray sightings tonight. Worth noting bray's profile picture - him under a ladder. WWE have been pretty cryptic about what's going on with the 7th MITB spot, and Bray/Roman is always dynamite...

AtariLegend Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) The NY state fight commission just confirmed something that was brought up by Meltzer after the announcement. Lesnar would have to undergo a fitness exam after his fight, to determine whether he's allowed to be used by WWE in NY. If he get's knocked out, their's also a certain amount of days where you're not allowed to have physical contact afterwards... which would probably be including Wrestling. In other words unless Lesnar crushes Hunt in 1 round, their's a good chance he won't be at SummerSlam. Also Punk's first fight might be at UFC 202 the night before SummerSlam where it's rumored SummerSlam will get plugged by UFC. So just imagine the replay of Punk getting knocked out in his first fight, brought to you by WWE SummerSlam.

Love that he even mentioned Cena' S shovel for burials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) Just seen this posted else where; No Punk or Joe on it, but at least 9 people there under WWE contract atm and at least 3 who really should be.

axlslash Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I got as far as the Cena/Styles segment on my train ride this morning. Holy shit, Cena called them the Bullet Club!!!!! Also, even if Cena wins the feud (inevitably), he's putting AJ over big. Comparing him to The Rock? That's huge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Best gimmick in Pro Wrestling btw. I seen the video of the A.J./Cena promos. It's funny seeing A.J. talk about selling out Japan, because last year they tried to make it look like Balor was on the same level as Tanahashi or Okada when he was in NJPW.

AtariLegend Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) It's just buzz words to mess with people's perception, ala Punk pre MITB 2011. What time is Takeover at GMT (UK) time? Edited June 8, 2016 by AtariLegend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Original_RK Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Thus proving AJ's point, especially when Cena says (paraphrasing) "AJ lost to Reigns, but thinks he can beat Cena?" Nice drive-by hit on Reigns. Anyway, nothing Cena said matched AJ's "bury" comment. Cena was talking kayfabe and AJ, with that comment, crossed into shoot territory. And a shoot comment is always > a kayfabe comment, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Although even then, Cena wasn't lying. AJ had the big buzz coming in, and hasn't done anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Original_RK Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Yeah, Cena's comments were true. I don't think that's necessarily Styles' fault though. He has put on consistently good, entertaining matches since arriving. The booking hasn't done him any favors, but that's almost to be expected now. I'm surprised when Creative actually gets a program right these days. For the record, I like Cena a lot and think the product is better with him. I'll always respect him for gutting out the match where Rollins shattered his nose. I'm not part of the "Cena sucks" brigade, but his character is just so stale.

axlslash Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I also really enjoyed that AJ is bordering on accusing Cena of the very same thing Cena accused the Rock of, letting wrestling be secondary to Hollywood and tv. A nice wink and nod to the smarks. This feud is going to be spectacular, and it's going to be the start of what will ultimately be AJ's build to the title. Hate that he got fed to Roman, but Cena is a guy that can actually get AJ over in ways even beating Roman wouldn't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) A.J.'s best match (Jan 4th before he joined WWE) this year funnily enough was a loss too, on the other hand A.J. had most of the best matches of his career in 2 years at NJPW yet you guys probably haven't seen most of those matches and associate him with being a TNA guy (despite that he was booked as being a lesser star than former WWE guys for the 2nd of his run there).

Gackt Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Takeover was alright Asuka looks a lot more brutal while Nia Jax is looking like your average Big Show type Finn vs Joe was fairly predictable since Finn will likely be called up with the brand split Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) I think we'll get Balor Club now before SummerSlam. I'll also go out on the limb and say Nakamura vs Joe will be the best WWE banner match of 2016 at Takeover Brooklyn. I'd guess Bayley's last developmental match too against KANA. It'd be great if they had Kota Ibushi on the show too, but that's probably pushing it. Edited June 9, 2016 by AtariLegend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
