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

[Exoduso]

I'm starting to be very agitated with Lesnar not showing up on Raws and not even defending at HIAC. What's even more frustrating is that WWE is once again insulting the fans' intelligence and assuming that we just forget about him while they go about their business and promote a PPV where the main title is not even being defended.
Having H and Stephanie come out and try to sell the whole Cena vs. Ambrose thing for the PPV was embarrassing. "They will go straight..... >.> <.< to HELLLL" I mean come on. Ambrose is on fucking fire right now and on his merry way to replace Punk as the anti-authority badass figure, and NOW they decide to interject SuperCena into the mix and into the Ambrose/Rollins feud? Why on earth would they do such a thing.
I will seriously rage if Cena ends up beating Ambrose and moving on to the HIAC match. I also honestly don't see how this card is going to be anything other than subpar without any meaningful title defenses on it. Pretty sure nobody gives a crap about Sheamus as US champ so that leaves the tag titles and IC title as the only ones possibly getting tossed into the HIAC match, and neither one will be that great. If not, then Rollins will be the only HIAC match on the card, which is even worse because it's not even for the title. It also diminishes Rollins' capabilities of working stories with the briefcase because the champion is NEVER FUCKING THERE.
I expected at least SOME retaliation from Lesnar after Rollins attempted the cash-in at NoC. Other than Heyman scolding him we haven't gotten anything... hell, Heyman wasn't even ON RAW this week, in case anybody forgot.

I have not resubbed to the network since it ran out a few days ago and have no intention of doing so until they pick their shit up.

Next Royal Rumble is gonna be 40 people again.

Incoming mini gator, el dorito, and legends that have zero business being involved.

You're saying that like it wouldn't be the case in the 30 man anyway. At least with 40 they can have a bit more room for NXT guys to show up and other guys that usually get bumped due to the useless additions.

This. Bullshit choices would take up room anyway. This leaves more room for real wrestlers.

Also I can't hate on legends showing up in Rumbles. It's a nice nostalgia bit.

I personally am a fan of Nash's forever botched exits.

New rumor is that Bray Wyatt has "set free" Harper & Rowan to do their own thing, and when Ascension gets called up they will be paired with Wyatt as his new family. I guess they need some time to grow their beards out, first.

Screw that put Bray with his brother so we can all Bray-lieve.

I did not know this, but now that you said it and I looked it up, I see the resemblance.

Guess we just need some Husky Dallas chants now.

Latest rumor I just read on lordsofpain.net is that Lesnar won't defend until the Rumble against Cena to have Rusev screw him and set up Cena/Rusev for Mania.

[Krandor]

It's apparently just for a week or two but Jericho is gonna be back in November.

[Tyrath]

From what I read this already got shot down as just a rumor.

So after a real shitty saturday with my older brother passing away, I get a phone call about an hour ago from DDP himself.
Apparently he was in Minneapolis doing the zombie pub crawl and attending a wrestling show, where he bumped into a friend of mine.
He told DDP I used to be into DDPYoga(went from 290 to 260 in about 6mo) but fell off in recent years. Told him about my brother, too.(Huge WCW fan)
He gave me a call to offer his condolences, and then proceeded to verbally whip me into shape.
Told me some stories about how he'd motivate himself in WCW, and some stories about Dusty Rhodes. Brother would have freaked out.
I'm starting DDPYoga again in the morning.

[arus2001]

I think your avatar basically sums up my face if some celeb just randomly cold called me, shitty weekend or no.

Condolences and good luck.

[noblemountain]

That is awesome. He has always seemed like a genuine guy in all our interactions. He calls my friend every month or so to check in on his progress, pretty cool cat.

[Krandor]

Did he introduce himself by saying "It's me it's me it's DDP?"

Condolences. I'm glad you received a positive call like that. Keep at it!

[Makwa]

Thanks, DDP is a great guy. Buddy says he's coming back in 6 months or so for some DDPYoga sessions. I plan to be there. He also told my friend to keep an eye on upcoming RAWs, so dunno what that could mean.(Sting/DDP WM FEUD PLZ)

Did he introduce himself by saying "It's me it's me it's DDP?"

Sort of. Went like:
DDP- "Hey it's me"
Me- "Who is this?"
DDP- "You know damn well who this is"

That is awesome. He has always seemed like a genuine guy in all our interactions. He calls my friend every month or so to check in on his progress, pretty cool cat.

Yeah, he told me to sign up on his members site. Asked me if I liked hearing from him. He said if he sees proof I'm keeping at it, he's gonna call me again.

[Xno Kappa]

I hate John Cena so much...
