Bork going over clean would be fun, but I don't think it's too necessary and I won't be fussed at all if he goes over completely dirty.

I dont know why youd be okay with dirty (save for a hard way splitting of Cena). He just beat Taker at mania, he should be completely unstoppable.

I really hope the crowd ****s on Orton/Reigns tonight because I've got zero faith in that match.

My biggest problem with with lolcenawins is it ****s up a golden storyline potential they'll never get again

1. Lesnar already conquered the streak
2. Plan B Lesnar conquers cena
3. H is happy. Tries to get Bork in line with authority
4. Bork is conquerer. He is above authority
5. Friction eventually leads to H face turn where he tries to stop Bork from 'conquering wwe' or something like that
6. Bork destroys H, puts him off tv for like, 6 months selling beating
7. Bork and Heyman become effectively 'OMG NEW NWO!' killing everything in WWE
8. Bryan comes back as surprise entrant in rumble, wins
9. Steph as defacto head of authority face turns sorta and supports Bryan in pursuit of beating Bork
10. Bork taps out to yes lock to end wrestlemania to moment that is basically 50x the moment Bryan won title in previous year

Instead lolcenawins

In an interview a couple days ago, Bryan said his dream opponent was Brock. Make this happen, WWE!!!

I doubt WWE needs any convincing to do that match. It's just a matter of Bryan making it back.

Brock's being pushed as an evil, unstoppable force.

He wins the title and holds it at least until Mania LDO.

My predictions (and/or wishful thinking):

Rollins over Ambrose in some shady fashion, but the feud continues.
The Miz over Ziggler because doing anything reasonable with Ziggler never happens.
Reigns over Orton because Reigns has cooler hair.
AJ over Paige, Paige doesn't do much for a while afterwards.
Rusev over Swagger, kind of obvious?
Stephanie over Brie, fun watching Steph but of no consequence to anything.
Wyatt over Jericho, and Jericho doesn't wrestle for a while because this feud sucks.
Brock over Cena, and everybody waits to see if it's Bryan or Reigns who wins RR.

I don't get this.

I don't recall thinking a champ was weak as a kid when he'd wrestle on RAW, but if I recall, it was always for the title. He'd always win (title changes were almost always on PPVs) but the matches made sense.

I can see hating the trend you mention, but never allowing the champ to wrestle on TV just seems so bad.

Championship matches should remain pretty scarce IMO, in order to strengthen the belt and help make title matches feel like more of a thing. There are 13 PPVs per year so there will still be plenty of them, but just having the champ wrestling randomly on free TV in spots where he'll never ever lose isn't doing good things for anyone.

Brock Lesnar matches feel bigger right now because we never ever get to see him wrestle unless it's a PPV. At least they certainly feel that way to me. The WWE Champion should get the same effect going.

let me stop you right there...

Yes exactly, make people pay $9.99 to see the champ wrestle, except for a rare special occasion.

i think money in the bank should be cashed in by now, like wtf is up with him holding it for so long? shouldn't the concept be that you win it and should probably want use it as soon as possible?

like don't you think the obv strat should have been to try to take the belt from cena before brock has the chance to get his hands on it?

i know its obv not up to him to when he can cash it in, it's all behind the scenes stuff but i dunno...

So far the running storyline has been that Dean Ambrose has vowed than anytime Rollins is going to try to cash it in, Ambrose will run down to the ring and wreck it. Rollins attempted one cash-in already and Ambrose followed through on his promise. In the story it makes perfect sense why he hasn't tried again after that. He has to do away with the guy who's going to **** his opportunity up.

ahhh yeah forgot about that lol

main eventers shouldn't be consistently wrestling on tv for any reason. dark matches? sure, whatever. but otherwise it should be a huge deal when cena or bryan or orton or etc wrestle a raw and not just a throw-in filler in the 2nd hour. i remember the only time i ever watched sunday night heat (other than the ppv preshows when that's what heat served as) was when h had an open challenge to defend the wwf title. i think it was against crash holly and was obv a squash but still, OMG H DEFENDING THE TITLE ON HEAT! GOTTA WATCH THAT!

part of the problem i guess is 3 hour raws. impossible to fill that time without having everyone do something.

I know you're kinda joking, but I still think this doesn't really represent how Cesaro's been booked. Beating him means something and they'll quickly be able to move him up the card if necessary.

Don't most MITB winners wait a long time to cash?

Paige isn't going anywhere if AJ goes over. They've invested way too much time in establishing her as a heel and there's nobody on the roster to take her place.

unless they're going to "sandow" seth hardy there's nowhere for him to cash and have him come out looking strong. have him cash on bork? gl selling that

A number of them have cashed pretty quickly, but this type of wait isn't abnormal at all. It was cashed in at two of the most recent SummerSlams, but I don't expect to see it again tonight at all.

Yeah if he cashes now they have to Sandow him. Absolutely have to. Better would be to actually build him up so that it wouldn't be a joke for him to have the belt.

ya i figure the whole purpose of him holding the briefcase is trial by fire to see if he can get and stay over as a main eventer. they have several more months to see if there's something there so there's no reason for them to rush him cashing in

I thought this poster was pretty cool.
