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

[Doombear]

I honestly thought that was X-Pac at first.

Me too. Fooled™

[Anoat]

Looks like it is going to be made official later today that WrestleMania 32 is going to Jerry World in Arlington.

[Anoat]

Watched RAW finally. The fact that people were going nuts for Brock to destroy Rollins is a pretty good testament to Rollins being a great heel. THIS is how Brock should be acting when he does happen to show up. The Rumble is always my favorite show of the year but I'm actually a lot more pumped for it now.

Smackdown spoilers.

Spoiler: show

Ziggler and Ryback qualified for Rumble. Erik Rowan failed to.

Why do they hate him?

[Anoat]

Cause he isn't that good. Pairing him against Big Show right off was an awful choice, too.

[Tyrath]

You don't have to be that good to be in the rumble lol

[Melena]

Rowan isn't horrible. They've had much worse big guys win championships compared to him. Creative just has no fucking clue what to do with him and yeah, big show wasn't a good starting opponent for him, especially since they wanted to build up big show to put Reigns over.

[Kalmado]

Just watched Raw last night and yeah it was definitely one of the better shows in a LONG time. Rollins laugh though....that got to go. Baleeeee dat

[Anoat]

Rowan hasn't shown me anything besides punch, noogie, nerve pinch, and one spin kick per match. That's it. If he has got more to offer I'd love to see it. Seriously...his high spot is a kick.

[Vagrant]

It would also be kind of silly if all three came back and just happened to win their matches to get in the rumble. And they do have to make room for all those surprise entrants that have been retired for ten years.

Though there was one rumored about a pair of entrants

Spoiler: show

I'm all in favor of a Dudley boys return if it does happen as rumored.

[Xno Kappa]

Spoilers on a supposedly horrible mic gaffe on Reigns' part at smackdown when cutting a promo against the big show.

Spoiler: show

Says Andre the Giant never had to refer himself as the Giant.

"I don't want to be champion, I'm just happy being a giant." - Andre the Giant.

[Tyrath]

Plus...uh....Andre the GIANT

[Anoat]

Kind of lame how in all these Royal Rumble video highlights they can't show ANYTHING from 2004 because Benoit is in it for literally the entire match. That was such a great rumble match.

[Melena]

At least you can still watch Benoit in all his non murderous glory on the network for the low low price of $9.99.

[Krandor]

You can always tell if Benoit was on the card by a gigantic blank spot in the bookmarks

[Snprphnx]

At least you can still watch Benoit in all his non murderous glory on the network for the low low price of $9.99.

I really hope one day he makes it into the Hall of Fame. I know what he did was horrible, but considering his having CTE, and eventually turning incredibly violent and doing what he did, I hope he is eventually given some slack.

[Anoat]

No fucking way. I love the guy as a wrestler, but fuck no.

[Snprphnx]

The WWE changed how they do stuff to help prevent concussions after this incident, as well as Test also being found to have it. Plus so many hockey and football players turn violent from it and become abusive.

[NotGreyheim]

I loved Benoit as an in-ring performer as well, but I think it's safe to say you or I have a better fucking chance of being inducted into the HoF than he does. Goddamn tragedy what happened to him and his family.

[Tyrath]

Yeah he's not getting in there. To quote the boss... No chance in hell.
