General WWE Discussion: Roman Weeps, Taker Retires, MNK/SAM/RDM LFP

[Anoat]

Jim Ross' wife was hit by a truck while riding her Vespa and has skull fractures, in the hospital now. Poor JR. Life just continually shits on him.

[Delirium]

That sucks about JRs wife. Hoping for the best for both of them.

Unrelated, SCSA did a podcast with Adam Cole BAYBAY!

[Tyrath]

Yeah, I was thinking he hurt himself there. Not the best sign, honestly, and I wouldn't be surprised if this match turns into a triple threat.

Why would it do that? Braun has continually been made to look like a bitch to make the other 2 look strong.

[arus2001]

1) Crowd seemed more excited seeing Braun and Taker go face-to-face.
2) If Taker did hurt himself in some manner, they can beat each other up while he swoops in for some good hits now and then.

I peeked at reddit out of curiosity to see if maybe it wasn't just a work, and from what I saw had a lot of people trying to justify Undertaker fucked up going for Braun and his rope lean/expression was him knowing he was about to take a hit. I mean, yeah, wrestlers are kinda "dumb" when it comes to being hit by a finisher and the like (ignoring the crowd and body language from their opponents), but this didn't really seem like that to me.

[Tyrath]

Reddit's explanation was my original thought. And you know Roman is Superman so even Taker has to be scared of being hit by him.

[Tyrath]

Just realized Vacant has taken a break from winning titles and is the new Raw GM.

[Anoat]

DDP will be inducted into the Hall of Fame by Eric Bischoff. Add Jim Cornette into the mix and there will be quite a cast of characters backstage for this event.

Broken Brad!

No Mauro again...

[Vagrant]

Were some rumors last week that his absence had more to do with his bipolar disorder than it did the weather.

[Nitsuki]

Miz as Cena is pretty funny.

For anyone that missed it on SD the Cena/Nikki parody that Miz and Maryse did:https://streamable.com/hsaz6

All these proposal references. Is Cena gonna propose at WM?

[Krandor]
