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

The anticipated, must-see WWE Elimination Chamber event will emanate from Corpus Christi, Texas, where the WWE Tag Team Championships and the newly vacant Intercontinental Championship will be defended inside the infamous structure.

From WWE.com

Not quite sure how the tag title match would work inside the chamber. A team for each chamber or three teams split up among the six chambers?

[Tyrath]

3 teams split into the chamber probably. That should be fun. Don't think we've ever had any tag team elimination chambers outside of WWE video games.

[Kalmado]

Definitely sounds interesting. Looking forward to it.

[Delirium]

I was a bit surprised that Adam Rose wasn't on RAW after looking so sympathetic on that E:60 piece.
More I thought about it, I wonder if WWE is going to reworking his gimmick.

[Krandor]

He was talking on Twitter about bringing Leo Kruger back for a few days after the special aired.

I would think for the tag titles it would be neat to have all of New Day and Kidd/Cesaro/Natalya in the six pods. But that won't happen so it would probably be three teams.

[Krandor]

I'm assuming 2 members of New Day, Cesaro/Kidd, then *hopefully* Lucha Dragons or Harper/Rowan, but probably something awful like Los Matadors or Axel/Sandow

So Jarrett's GFW announced some more talent for their summer tour during the past couple days. I hope they are successful. Would like to see them come to Toronto sometime.

Also announced four titles will be decided during the first tapings. Going by the roster I'd expect World, Womens, Tag, and probably a cruiserweight type belt.

He has some good names signed up so far but could definitely use some more guys to fill out the top of the card.

The infamous "Excellent question, Shelton" story as told by Curt Hawkins:

[Doombear]

Keep forgetting to mention this. For anyone that has the AXS TV channel they have started re-airing the first season of their NJPW coverage. Some great matches so far. The first of the 'new season', it is labeled as season one - episode 14, airs on the 22nd. So for any of you that would love to see some great matches you should definitely look into whether you get the channel or not.

In Season 1 there was some Nakamura, Okada, Devitt, a TON of Tanahashi, and so on. Even if some of it is a few years old, well worth checking out.

[Kalmado]

Just watched Shinsuke Nakumura vs. Hirooki Goto from Dontaku 2015. A classic and must watch.

[Kang]

I watched the debut episode of House of Hardcore TV on Fight Network last night. Danny Doring is doing colour (not very good) and the guy doing play by play I've never heard of. The two matches they showed (Rhino/Sami Calihan and Young Bucks/Kendrick and London) were from the first show I think. They also had a promo from Edge sandwiched in between. The wrestling was very good. I'm contemplating going to the Toronto show in July.

[Melena]

July 4th, Chris Jericho versus Finn Balor. Give those two twenty plus minutes please.

[Vagrant]

Live event only though so never going to see it

[Tyrath]

Oh wow one of the potential plans for the tag team Elimination chambers was to make it a 6 team affair with each pod holding 2 superstars. But they think that might end up being too crowded. Kinda agree with that, would just end up with half the tag teams being jobbers.

[Kang]

Not sure if anyone noticed that they piped in the bit about Sami Zayn's injury from Raw into that ending promo on NXT. I mean honestly, do they really think people are that stupid that they won't notice lol. I can understand doing the piped in from the commentators when they promote upcoming shows but this is a little much.

[Anoat]

Chris Jericho is coming back for a house show only run during the summer. My city is the last one on his stop, one week after SummerSlam. I am hyped.

[Krandor]

The edit to bring up Zayn's injury was dumb, but the important part about it is that the match still appears to be full speed ahead. His shoulder injury likely wasn't too bad, unlike Hideo who is out for like 6 months.

Praying for a shakeycam YouTube video.
