Think Jericho, if you will. Plus he's a big name (that'll get bigger with GOTG) for the company of a recent generation that can still go in the ring and has history with more than a few of the current main eventers, so we've got ready-made feuds as well.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> That's a good upside. And he can shake off the ring rust before WM30. I just think WWE are playing up his return in the Rumble to mess with us. Everyone thinks he's going to win the Rumble but I don't think he will. And he doesn't need a title shot yet. If he does win though I can see him facing Orton and Lesnar in a triple threat match. I'd rather see Taker vs Heel Sheamus than against Lesnar.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stennick Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I would say the chances of Batista winning the Rumble are 100 percent. CM Punk will do the iron man thing likely being there at the end but Batista wins this, faces Orton and beats Orton at Wrestlemania. No way this doesn't happen.

Oh god, I would take anything instead of this. I would take Batista/Cena before that. As far as pure crowd reaction, I don't think you could beat Bryan losing to Wyatt, and then replacing Xavier Woods or some other no hoper as a replacement #30 entrant.

milamber Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 <p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">NXT Review:</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Neville vs Blake</strong> - The debutant cowboy looked competent. Neville continues to impress as a crowd-pleasing spot monkey.</p><p> <strong>Woods vs Rusev</strong> - Woods returned to NXT for revenge but Rusev was too strong. Sin Cara came to Wood's rescue when Rusev wouldn't let go of his submission.</p><p> <strong>Parker vs Cesaro</strong> - Parker is talented but his hippy gimmick sucks. The best part of the match was Parker trying to swing Cesaro but only making himself dizzy. Zayn returned on crutches to ask for a rematch. Cesaro said no.</p><p> <strong>Natalya vs Summer</strong> - Good match, I just wish it had lasted longer.</p><p> <strong>Bo Dallas</strong> - Celebrating being the longest ever NXT Champion (224 days) by being as douchy as ever. Neville crashed the party and challenged Bo. Triple H appeared on screen to set up a Beat the Clock match. Neville lasted 4 minutes and 45 seconds against Dallas to earn a title shot on the NXT Live Special on the WWE Network. </p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Verdict:</span></strong> Average show. First of a series setting up for the Live Special.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHK1978 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I love how they always make such a big deal about being the first person in the Royal Rumble match. Hell the second entrant is in just as long as the first because the match cannot start until the second guy enters the ring. I understand why they always hype how being the first person to enter is a big deal, but like I said I do find it funny how being number two is never pushed as being an insurmountable odd.

Jaysin Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Is there any real reason Del Rio and Rey are feuding? It just seems like they wrestle each other every week for no real reason. Granted, I am watching the Hulu version of Raw, so there's probably stuff from the feud cut. I just don't get it because they're having the same match over and over again.

Tha Black Phenom Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Del Rio has been bracing for Batista's return and that was his main motive for facing Rey, him being one of his close friends.

Jaysin Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Goldust is in the best shape of his career and is having the best matches of his career. The New Age Outlaws just came back a few weeks ago. Daniel Bryan is the most over person in the company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF I'm right, then you seen a three hour show cut down to one hour? I can't really watch those recap shows because they do leave out way too much. Current shows show too many "recaps" of what happened last week, month, year, or even what happened 20 minutes ago.... over and over and over... I've always understood why, however it really starts to annoy me after the fourth of fifth time showing the same exact recap.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
