[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

$175 to listen to Roman Reigns. I don't belee dat.

 

[Saddlerrad]

I'd pay that to see Sting/Michaels or HHH. But Reigns?!?!

 

[ForeverUnited]

Now I feel like he's defiantly winning the Rumble.

 

[Oaf]

Don't fear, I have returned. Thanks to Gerard for the link, would have had no idea, just saw TFF was gone.

YESSSS EAMONN! Was hoping you'd show up sooner rather than later. Otherwise I'd have just had to be a miserable sod about everything WWE does all the time to blend in with everybody else.

We have one extreme, now where is the other? Bring back the DAVE!

Spot the Odd one out?

Yeah, that's what I was talking about earlier... madness with Reigns.

I actually decided last night, BTW, that I'm going to try and go for some VIP stuff there... and the ones I'm looking at are Rollins and Ambrose. Which, it just so happens, is actually right across the GAWD DAMN Hall of Fame. Well, actually, the HOF starts at 4:45 and will go on for "3 or 4 hours", which means you can't really go for the HOF and then the others.

I'm not in Santa Clara until the Saturday, and can't check in til 3pm... so literally, the only sessions I can go for are the 6pm-10pm on Saturday or the Sunday 8am-2pm one with just Bret Hart. I do like Bret, but I'd much rather see Seth or Ambrose...

Plus there is the fact that HOF tickets are damned expensive. While it would be awesome, it's like £80-£120 for decent seats... which costs more than Axxess, which looks a lot better anyway! So yeah, I've pretty much given up on the HOF now.

Our TNA Discussion will be bombarded with the wwe lot dave.

 

[Saddlerrad]

I shall spare you Dave and sort out a proper 'section' when we've made the transfer to a new server later this evening..

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

its ok, you can if you wish saddler but not massively important, i think the main thing you'll need to sort is somewhere for Oafs mania reviews so he can build for this years.

Should be a good impact tonight nice start so far.

 

[iesty wfc]

took me a while to though

 

[ForeverUnited]

If EY is hanging round with BDC why isn't he with them? puzzling.
Once again another X division title change, the title is becoming a joke, but maybe Aries can now get involved in the storyline, maybe they'll do a LL at lockdown.
Kong-Havok segment was once again great, I'm looking forward to that match more than any other right now.
Why the f' is Jeremy Borash involved in a storyline, FFS. its hardly like EC3 needs to do that shit anymore, he's the biggest heel in the company.
Magnus interview was really interesting, think that must be on the unlocked show, seemed like he was almost out of character.
I like the revelation but wheres it going? why has everyone had a name change or changed look, but abyss?
Hardys-Wolves was a good match as always, praying they don't put the titles on the hardys though with the tour coming up of the uk.
Why is EY and Roode having a match now? he turned last week, why not build it?
Interesting to see the new stuff they'd put in for the show, which is different, and i have no problem with.

Alberto El Patron (Del Rio) has signed for Lucha Underground - biiiiig signing for them and many thinking it is a prelude to him joining TNA

 

[Oaf]

For those who didn't see the shock reveal elsewhere... Anagrams, bitches...

Tony Rage Jelling = JOLLY GREEN GIANT.

Search your feelings. You know it to be true. And he retired as your Intercontinental champion. Let that settle in.

I've watched a couple of episodes of that, and I must say I was rather Impressed.

 

[Libertine]

It's a sure fire way to get the crowd to turn on him. Also, what's up with all the children's book parables they're using in his promos? It's so weird, it's as if they're purposely sabotaging the man they want to be the man. Apparently Vince is personally writing Reigns' lines, so thay explains a lot.

Absolutely. You can just see Vince sitting there saying "we gotta make him more like Cena". They do it with every face they try and push. He'll be coming out in bright red next.

[Luke]

Hello my fellow TFF'ers, Mase told me this was the new place, was missing the wrestling threads on there! I was bfcluke on there and didn't post a great deal but good to see familiar names here.

All I'm going to say for now is I purchased the network last week and its fucking brilliant.

 

[Gilly?]

I've had time to reflect over the Rumble.

Everything leading up to the Lesnar match was solid, the Lesnar match was excellent. The Rumble was poor.

In terms of story line progression, with Kane and Show eliminating bastards left right and centre I don't think the Rumble was particularly bad. The fact it was so incredibly slow is what ruined it for me. I think it would have worked better if Kane and Show were #1 and #2 and took the spot light from Wyatt. I had no problem at all with Wyatt being build strongly in the Rumble but not acknowledging his performance undermined his eliminations completely and it'll probably get swept under the carpet no doubt.

I'm not fussed about Bryan going out early if it leads to something, maybe have a rusty Bryan struggling to find his feet back at the top. It could lead to a nice little heel run. I've always enjoyed heel Bryan.

In my head, what happened at the Rumble wasn't particularly bad, it was the way in which it was executed what really killed it. I'm giving it the status of "The Number 23" syndrome where the idea wasn't too shabby but the execution overall was horrific.

Roman Reigns can go away though, I don't find him that interesting. It seemed Brock worked the entire title match as a face, so I'm hoping to see Heyman leave Brock and have Reigns become a 'Heyman Guy'. I'd add Rollins to the main event at 'Mania, have Brock retain, have Reigns beat down Lesnar and then have Rollins cash in. If nothing else, it'd probably save face.

 

[Luke]

On a little note, did anyone else think the Wyatt's were re-uniting when all three were in the ring early on?! I bloody did.

Also, isn't Axel still in the rumble seen as he was never elimanted? Bit daft all the moves and hits they take one throw into a fence and thats him out of a rumble.

 

[Gilly?]

I was getting giddy at the thought of the Wyatt's getting back together, I feel like they have more to offer.

I think it's best to forget Axel, he's about as exciting as the dump I'm currently brewing.

 

[Luke]

Yeah I would go with that feeling on the Wyatt's. I must admit I haven't been a fan of Bray much but I did start to warm to him in the Rumble.

I just don't get why they even bother with things like the Axel scenario, then people like Boogeyman, Titus O Neil who last seconds. Its pointless and the spots could have been used in a better way surely to god.

The Rumble annoyed me so much towards the end I was warming to a Rusev win as I knew Ambrose had no chance. Warming to Rusev, what the fuck is that about.

Kane & Big Show being in near the end and in the last 4 (if you include Rusev) is a disaster. I appreciate what they have done in the past but personally I think they have run their course.

Fucking hell I'm starting to rant about WWE as much as Blackpool FC, nothing is that bad.

 

[Oaf]

Interesting... just watched the latest sit down interview with Triple H and Michael Cole, and Triple H took a pretty brutal, honest, 4th wall breaking look at the rumble. Said he watched the triple threat and it was awesome, but it was obvious that the rumble was awful. And he also said that they're going to address it on Raw... pretty much indicated that they've acknowledged that there is a massive problem, and that measures are going to be taken to correct things. Raw should be interesting...

Didn't he say something like he "saw what everyone else saw"? Could refer to Axel? Maybe they put that in as a get out clause if the reaction was bad.

I imagine it will just be further kayfabe authority vs Reigns stuff though.

 

[Leewilson]

If they book Axel vs Reigns on Raw with the winner going to Wrestlemania, the crowd will be all over that.

Heyman guy vs former Heyman guy at WM. It writes itself.

If that counts, then Maven is still in the 2002 royal rumble!

 

[RavenBish]

I'm interested but I really don't think they'll mess with Reigns' win.

Looking forward to the HHH/Stone Cold podcast following Raw.
