Momma There Goes That Man Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) I didn't know Bubba Ray was let out of his TNA contract. I guess the WWE crowd still eats up the tables bit. At least we know Bubba Ray can actually put someone through a table instead of just flipping a table on top of them Edited January 26, 2015 by Momma There Goes That Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I think the fans would eat up a story of him putting Stephanie through a table. I'm not sure she would ever let it happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Too much money involved for RAW to be cancelled. My guess is they go with some empty arena special since the crew/wrestlers are there and I'm sure the arena is already set up. This might lead to the wwe changing up their winter schedule in the future.  I want a three hour interview with Reigns were he discusses his favorite Looney Tunes catchphrases at length. Boom! Instantly over. I think the fans would eat up a story of him putting Stephanie through a table. I'm not sure she would ever let it happen though.  You're giving that bump to Bubba Freaking Ray?!??!?!?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015  You're giving that bump to Bubba Freaking Ray?!??!?!?!  How is that any worse than giving bumps to people who can't work the mic and only show up for 8 shows a year? That said, no..I just think that happening would be hysterical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 So basically, they are cancelling Raw be ause of fan backlash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 So basically, they are cancelling Raw be ause of fan backlash? Â Think its the blizzard in the Northeast. RAW is in CT tonight and their Governor put in a travel restriction starting at 9pm tonight. So if people aren't supposed to be on the roads during RAW, it's hard to have any fans show up. Wonder what an empty arena episode of RAW would look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, back in those days, nothing short of getting st**** by a bolt of lightning would keep people from missing a show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â It would be like the first RAW's from the Manhattan Center. Too bad Vincent's massive ego will never let him air the show from a tiny venue. It would be pretty damn cool.

KDawg Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 It'll be awful tonight. I like Reigns, by the way. I hated the Rumble match and ending. It was a very poorly booked Rumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I think they need to scrap the stipulation that the Rumble winner gets the title match at Wrestlemania. That locks in their booking too much and makes the entire match far too predictable. Did anyone really think Ambrose, Big Show or Kane was going to win when they got to the Final Four?

TexasSkinsFan Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) They need to do a switch with Paul Heyman and make him side with Roman Reigns to hype this match up. On his own Reigns will crash the whole damn thing.  You just can't look like a million bucks, but wrestle like crap and not be a talker in this business and make it. He is Lex Lugar all over again, didn't work the first time and won't work now.  Reigns is not someone that they should not be getting behind for single card main event. If done correctly he could be this decades Diesel, Kevin Nash. Anyone remember how they paired him with Shawn Michaels, until they put the strap on him after like a 5 second match and let him run with it for a little while? He sucked as champion but if they want to put the strap on him that's how they can get away with it, swerve him into it but doing it when the fans expect to see it is a bad idea.  The three hottest stars in the business today  Ambrose Wyatt Bryan  Will be the future of this business the next few years not Reigns. It would have made more sense to give the spot to Rusev then to Reigns. Rusev vs Lesner. I want to see it. Reigns vs Lesner....boring.  The problem is creative has made the decision to use him like that and unfortunately unless they back it up quickly and reverse course I think he will be like Ryback in a few years, relegated to mid card status with little interest in pushing further. Not a good plan creative. Now if they gave him a mouth piece and turned him heel he might have a shot at regaining some steam but this whole push didn't make much sense. The E was on a roll and he was on the shelf. He comes back pushed immediately into the main event at Wrestlemania...sometimes they just need to rewrite the script and start over instead of ignoring the voice of the fans. They don't want to see this I don't want to see this. Edited January 26, 2015 by hankersonfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I tell you what... One way they save this whole mess is if the quietly come to an agreement with Brock to remain in WWE and he beats Reigns at 31... As a baby face. Obviously, I don't foresee that happening, but they've booked themselves into a corner.  LKB, if they take away the stipulation for the Rumble winner, what point does the match have? Just curious because you generally have great ideas, so I was wondering where you're going with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is Lex Lugar all over again, didn't work the first time and won't work now.   Disagree here.  He's not awful in the ring. He's decent. I personally think the whole talking this is overrated with strong athletic looking guys.  Lesnar and Batista aren't great on the mike but they got over because they were bad asses and were allowed to be short and sweet on the mic.  They want RR to cut ****ty Cena promos and that's not his gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM72 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 So Kevin Nash was a good wrestler and Lex Luger wasn't? When I think of bad wrestlers, Sid Vicious immediately comes to mind. Go back and look at some of Lifers NWA/WCW matches and you'll see he really wasn't all that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Nash didn't even bump lol. He was a horrible wrestler but an excellent entertainer Luger was basically Randy Orton. Just really average at everything And I guess I'm the only person in the world that loves Sid lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never forget him telling Flying Brian Pillman to give him the figure four during the War Games. He was good at squash matches and that was about it.
