    Dave's earlobes are connected to his neck!! how has no one commented on this!

    I knew Adam Blampied's close personal friend Wale is a wrestling fan but he knows what he's talking about. WWE does have a huge decision on their hands that could change the future of the company for years to come with Reigns vs Undertaker. I think it's pretty obvious Roman is going to win but if he doesn't turn this sunday there's just no coming back from that. If he does turn, I think we have the main event heel who people will just love to boo because he'd be so good as a heel. He wouldn't even need to change his character. It just comes naturally to him.

    I've thought hogan would be there tommorow, because he's been mentioned 3 times now on "bring it to the table", and the most recent he was featured twice AND they showed his entrance video.
    BUT, if he was going to be there they would promote it in advance - UNLESS... the plan is to have him come back on the raw day after mania.
    THEN.. at HoF ceremony the APA is doing this whole speech about civil rights etc.. and it makes me think they're doing that out of damage control, ie saying the company is fully behind equal rights etc, should hogans return backfire.
    The one thing I'm absolutely certain about, is that if Hulk doesn't show at WM33 then he wont ever make a return. This is the 30th anniversary of the "bodyslam heard around the world), so the timing is right. Obviously he isn't ever come back to wrestle in the ring.

  • @hawk4731
    @hawk4731 7 лет назад +1

    My friend had an idea of how Brock and Goldberg would end where Triple H, Samoa Joe, and Kevin Owens interfere. Since I'm not a fan of Roman Reigns simply for the fact that I don't want a John cena/ Hulk Hogan/ Superman type character, because characters should have flaws and I find those lacking that to be boring, I would be okay with this scenario playing out in the Taker and Reigns match if done correctly. If he joins a new faction and turns heel with people like that , it would give him a chance to develop more of a character independently if he is champion, but only if it is done the right way.

      The shit he gets is due to people who listen to Bruce, Eric and Russo and actually believe it. As well as wrestling websites who take something he said out of context and report it as news. Like when he's talking about something on the radio show and he makes it very clear he is just guessing, he isn't reporting it as news

    I still think that Reigns would benefit from a loss more then from a win. Why dont let Strowman interfere and attack the Untertaker and let Taker win by DQ and let Reigns beat Strowman up so that he can at least appear a Little bit like a saviour. I mean if he looses, sure he could complain about it. But his feud with Strowman still has potential i mean why dont let Strowman come out as the winner in the next Event.

Because you guys booked him terribly, that's why he was unhappy and left the company, he could have been every bit the monster that Brock is and then some but no because you guys don't know how to do your fucking job correctly you screwed it up and are just now realizing your mistakes.
