Props to Dave from rightfully mentioning HHH instead of Kane, but I got it half right.
Who called it?!?!
Daniel Bryan will fight HHH and if he win he the main event at wrestlemanis turns into a Triple Threat Title match..
most of the internet nerds was already calling this after Dave won the rumble and Punk told WWE to kick rocks...there was NO CHANCE IN HELL that Batista and Randy Orton was going to be the main event...
Yeah shit was pretty clear that that was the route that they were going to have to go with it after they realized nobody gives a shit about Batista
lol the WWE is hilarious. i they re-wrote that script QUICK! they was on the path to one of the worst wrestlemania's ever with Orton vs flabby, winded batistia
ticket sales just went thru the roof after that segment. even I want to go now. that Yes chant is going to be epic after Bryan wins the belt

they have no choice at this point. they can't keep dragging this shit on anymore. they almost ruined their top paid preview over the bullshit they was doing. If Bryan leaves WWE, that company is dead.
that is true, if WWE screw Bryan @ wrestlemania those fans in New Orleans might riot, plus half of them will be full of spirits, myself included

it would be wise for them to not pull the same BS they did last time DB won the title i.e. HHH coming out the next night on Raw telling him that the ref made a fast count,and to hand over the belt
JESUS CHRIST.... Nobody showed up for that TNA Lockdown PPV last night!!!
I know that shit was hot garbage, but damn this shit is fucking pathetic!!

DB is in the title picture, cool. Dave you nailed it. Couple of questions though.
- If DB wins the title at Mania, how long do you think they let him keep it?
- If they let him keep it for more than a month (PPV after Mania) how many times do you think we'll have to suffer through DB vs winded in four minute Batista?
- Do you think we'll get DB vs. Cesaro for the title anytime soon?
- Do you think we'll get DB vs. Lesnar for the title anytime soon?

I'm thinking this is just how TNA does business. They seem to be more comfortable filling the camera side of a mid sized arena than moving to and filling a smaller venue. It's probably smart business on their part. Filling the camera side of a mid size arena makes them look like a bigger deal on tv than if they switched to a NXT sized place for a major PPV. All that being said though, seeing half of the arena empty has to kill the energy for the people in attendance. Imagine going to a party in a big ass house and there are only like 10 people there.

Smaller places aren't always set up well for tv, you can see that when you see indy wrestling on tv.

Everybody. We all saw the end result, we just didn't know how they would get there...
until Punk quit/walked out.
Especially when they blew Batista's return. His beef with Del Rio was bad and they somehow forgot that Steph and HHH were heels so calling Dave "our good friend" every week can only get them what they got: people booing Batista.
If there was a way for them to mess this up, they took it.
If they didn't have 50 yrs of name recognition and hundreds of millions of dollars, they would be drawing 1500 fans to their ppvs too.
I don't know. They're just all over the place. They've lost control and are reacting. Vince is a hardheaded sumbitch and he hates to be told what to do but I think Bryan can hold the title until SummerSlam, maybe. His bad promos though
. He's as bad as Cena on the mic.The wrong thing would be to put it on Batista at Mania and then have Bryan chase him. TNA had Magnus win at Lockdown but that was because they had the MVP and the Wolves win in the last match. The babyface should win the last match at Mania. If they have the title match before Taker-Brock, Bryan isn't winning.
They'll probably do Cesaro. He and Bryan have good matches and the people are interested in him.
If they book him against Lesnar, especially since you know Lesnar losing to Taker, they're taking the belt off Bryan.
I saw this and I wasn't surprised at all
Now that he's back heel, Dave's having way more fun. It's refreshing to see a guy who likes being a heel and doesn't just want to be a "cool heel" so he can turn babyface.

From what I've read and heard that's definitely a part of it. But there has never been a national company that filled 10k arenas in their first 20 years, much less their first dozen. That same picture could be taken at most Smackdown tapings and for years that was what Raw and Nitro tapings looked like (I was at more than one in a half empty arena). Fans in attendance don't care. We're all lumped together and, if the show is good (which Lockdown was, not perfect by any means but good wrestling), we don't even notice the other side. It's when companies don't do a hard side camera that looks bad on tv and kills crowd energy because everybody is just sitting everywhere.
Crazy dream match
HUGE TAG TEAM DREAM MATCH ANNOUNCED: HARDYS VS. BRISCOES
by Mike Johnson @ 9:22 AM on 3/13/2014
Matt and Jeff Hardy vs. Jay and Mark Briscoe in what can only be described as a dream tag team encounter will headline the 4/26 OMEGA event in the Hardys' hometown of Cameron, NC at Union Pines High Schol.
In announcing the bout on Twitter, Matt Hardy described the bout as the "biggest tag team dream match" to happen in the last decade. He isn't kidding.
I'm sure it'll be good but I just saw Matt recently and he's fat as hell so he won't be holding up his end.

Wrestling in High School gyms....is that above or below bingo halls? I think that's below....damn fall from grace

OMEGA is the Hardy's company so they're the ones running the show.
be easy at least 10 years ago the WWE was still doing high school / college shows in small towns... probably still doWrestling in High School gyms....is that above or below bingo halls? I think that's below....damn fall from grace
Proof. WWE was not doing high schools in 2004. I don't believe that this.
Good for them, still far from where they can once were.
all I can tell you is that I was at a house show around Liberty or Goshen, NY in a high school gym in 01 or 02. (probably about 6000 to 8000 capacity)
Gail getting hemmed up by Lei'D Tapa on TNA
TNA has its problems, but I love it.
TNA has its problems, but I love it.
Every time I try to give TNA a chance they comes out the gate swinging with huge gaps in logic. It's to the point where I can't even be mad at them.
Take the last Impact before Lockdown. MVP says that Jeff Hardy will led his team to victory on Sunday. Dixie counters by pointing out that Hardy can't wrestle in the match because he is suspended. MVP counters by saying that after Hardy gets his team to the win, he will lift the suspension. Dixie looks on mad with the cartoonish 'oh foiled again' face.
If he is suspended, then how can he wreslte in the match, in the first place?

Tits n ass logic I suppose. Just like having hardy come back as a fucking flaming asshole is supposed to help his brand....tits n ass needs Jr to take over and send a shitload of money heymans way.

Not at all. Man, Arn and Tully beat the Rock N Roll Express for the NWA tag titles in a high school gym.
The big companies really only got out of gyms in the last decade or so.
OMEGA runs most of their shows for local charities.
Yo, I think she stiffed Gail nice at first and then eased off.

I don't think that was a logic hole but a blown promo.
I was wondering how they would do Willow but they aren't even pretending it isn't Jeff so I can live with it. It gives him a fresh coat of paint.
I was enjoying Impact! (even with a long opening promo segment and ya'll know I'm over those and the tribute to Dixie shit was way too long) and then they killed me with the Sam Shaw mannequin shit. This character is good and has real potential but they're taking it and adding silly shit to a serious gimmick.
I know someone in WWE Creative is pitching that but it's just a bad idea. Some times you have to give the people what they want when they want it.
The whole point, supposedly, of Bryan's long, failed run at Orton last year was to build him up as a sympathetic babyface. It took Punk going home but here's the moment to pay off 8 months of this guy getting over. He put over Orton. He put over Bray. Now do him right.
They seem to use the Raw after WM as a redemption night so I think Bryan will beat HHH and then lose the title match and then get a rematch at some point and win it then.
When talk of the Shield splitting up started, I had Rollins as the guy who ends up mixed in with Kofi and Swagger in the Mid Card Job Squad. But they've turned that around and he's been the star the last couple weeks and not Reigns. It doesn't even look like they're going to break up right now.
When WWE really gets behind someone, they can make them superstars (real superstars not just WWE Superstarstm)

Samoans are popping up everywhere!
HHH is strategic with his losses. He rarely loses the BIG match, but he will job to a person in the FINAL match of the feud that doesn't mean anything.
you wanna see some pretty pissed off fans and no spike in subscriptions to WWE Network, then let that happen and thats exactlyt whats gonna happen. seats for WM are like in the high $100's maybe even $1000's and a regular RAW show is like $60-80 seats you think they would let THOSE PEOPLE get the satifaction of seeing Byran winning the belt? thats a slapp in the face however this is Vince's company so anything can happen. Maybe they wans Bryan's win Televised to a much wider audience (people that watch the show on Monday's) which is far more people that watches the PPV's
I actually hope that they 'officially' break them up. They've been hinting at that on and off, but they really don't have to do all that. Each member can go off and have a singles career, while still maintaining that they are all friends and apart of a larger group. Think the Horsemen back in the day. Flair was going to be Flair. Tully was going to be Tully. Arn and Ole were going to be Arn & Ole. But when some major shit went down, the Horsemen came together like Voltron and kicked ass. That could be the Shield. Keep up the storyline that they are still close friends, even when each member is off doing singles matches. But every couple of months, give them a reason to come together and bring justice.
I honestly wouldn't mind them letting Bryan lose in the main event at Wrestlemania. But I think doing so would tend to get tiresome. They've done it so many times. I think now is probably the time to give him the title. I think he's hit his peak as far as being the face with no title. The only next step that can be made is making him champion.
I think its too late to split them now. They should've done it when Reigns dominated the Rumble. It was perfect time. Now they've sort of lowered his status to under Rollins. I like what Rollins is doing though. I too thought he would be mid-level talent after a split. If they do it right they can split all 3 members up and have them main eventers. I'd make Rollins and Reigns faces.....Dean a heel.

To be honest the worst thing they can do is make reigns a face, they have to let the fans do that. Wwe has proven time again that they have lost their how to make a successful face book. Lets be real bryan was made a face the night of wm28 with the yes chants. Wwe wants to take credit for it but we all know the truth. Same with punk, after he earned his stripes the fans began to like him even as a heel during his title run, and after that they had no choice. All their failed faces (del Rio, orton, batista, arguably cena) have all been force fed to us and we reject them.
They need to keep reigns as the badass heel and let the fans take it from there. Rollins could be the face of the 3 as his moves are all fan friendly. Dean just looks like a dbag so you already know he's gonna be a heel.
I just hope reigns gets to keep the ring attire, I could see hhh talking about "I got a pair of trunks with your name on Em in different colors for each show"

Reigns is the badass heel now and he's getting cheers. They should keep him the same. He's what they TRIED to make Ryback.
And that's the only bad thing. I actually like the Shield uniforms.
I don't know why WWE is scared to have these dudes in uniforms and gear like that. They want everyone in draws and boots and shit.
