This is so accurate.

In fact even if Sheamus, Rusev and ADR are good on the mic, they should still allow Barrett to be the dominant mouthpiece because he is incredible in that role.

It's odd that the only manager they've added in recent history is for The Miz, the one person who doesn't actually need a manager. (To be fair, she's not being used in a traditional mouthpiece role, it's just funny that The Miz gets a manager but AJ Styles doesn't.)

Actually, I forgot about Zeb's manager role for ADR also. It was for less than a month, though.

The Bella series will focus on the time period during which Brie and Bryan moved in with Nikki and John following Nikki's neck surgery.

That would have been awesome 5yrs ago.

It wouldn't be a bad idea if they could get the original 4 and keep Flair out.

Someone posted this and now I'm posting it. Lots of spoilers for the next month of creative:

Quote:

According to a Secret Insider on Reddit, it is picking up steam that this report may actually be true, either way I thought I'd post it for you all to see:

''According to a very respected source in WWE here is what is scheduled to happen with WWE storylines:

Cesaro will not be winning the IC Title from Miz at Payback

Apollo Crews feud is scheduled to be Ryback

Vaudevillans will beat Enzo & Cass at Payback because the Dudleyz are screwing them over the Vaudevillans are then going to win the Tag Team Titles from New Day

Bray Wyatt is not scheduled to be back anytime soon & the League Of Nations vs Wyatts match at Payback is in serious doubt unless WWE does a 3 on 2 Handicap match believe it or not WWE discussed in the last few days signing Eric Young & quickly debuting him on the main roster to join the Wyatts

Natalya is not scheduled to win the Womens title despite the announcement of Bret Hart in her corner

Dean Ambrose is scheduled to beat Chris Jericho at Payback

Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn will be feuding for a while

You will all be suprised at what John Cena will do when he returns

The Authority will return shortly to begin a feud with Shane McMahon leading to a match between Triple H & Shane McMahon at SummerSlam for control of WWE with a brand split shortly after &

Roman Reigns is turning heel at Payback & joining forces with Doc Gallows & Karl Anderson & possibly the Usos forming the Roman Empire or The Empire There is talk of Seth Rollins returning soon & him teaming up with AJ Styles along with Dean Ambrose & debuting Finn Balor to battle the Empire.

The bolded is kind of what I saw coming out of RAW. It's weird but they're showing people clap for Reigns (when they can find one) but they don't bother to edit boos on a taped show. The Usos with them? Why? Why not get Jamal up here too since he's related and a wrestler! Of course with Gallows, Anderson, and AJ on the mr now, Finn is a ldo call up very soon since they're so intent on making everything about NJPW.

No way. That story really fluffs this up. Listen to Dana's interview on ESPN for the real story. Connor's throwing a temper tantrum because Dana pulled him from UFC 200. I'm sure in the back of Connor and Dana's heads is "a return after this fiasco will draw a huge gate, again". All business.

Nate's tweet is hilarious: I guess my work here is done I'm retiring too.

You could be right. Perhaps they're in on it together. That doesn't seem plausible though. Hard to find truth when Conor's not defending himself so I'm assuming Dana's telling the truth but perhaps not the whole story.

Serious question while typing and too lazy to search, is Punk going to fight this year?

That sounds absolutely amazing. Has to be a mistake I guess.

Real spoilers below:

Roman buries AJ and finishes the match with a "That's all folks", then goes on to fight Kane in his second feud.

I was listening to some stuff on the end days of WCW and gained a lot of respect for Johnny Ace Laurinaitis as a result of people who were trying to bury him. He came in around 2000 and tried to get matches with clean finishes and believable false finishes (instead of the 3 minute matches with overbooking like they had been doing) and tried to stop the trend of featuring the women with fake tits and no talent in every single damn segment.

They are making main eventers. Why complain about it?

Plus, wasn't Bullet Club just a copy of the nWo?

First:

. I'd have rather had them stay in NJPW than bolster WWE. Silly and bitter? Yes.

Second: No. Even if they were, they didn't use Hall, Nash, and Hogan.

Yeah, they're taking our favorite wrestlers and making them superstars.

The BC didn't really rip off the nWo with their booking or storytelling but they obviously ripped off their image.

Makes sense. I mean, he doesn't seem to have any particular value and he and his partner may have been about to wash out entirely on their own, but I couldn't help but feel sorry for him when his partner's failed test ****ed him. Glad he at least gets some paychecks for the rest of the tour.

Always thought Victor had the potential to be decent on the mic. Who's gonna wear the paint now and mimic the 80's gimmick now? Anderson and Gallows soon I guess.

Seems Adam Rose is challenging the suspension. If a guy is going to commit career suicide going after WWE, almost have to feel there's some merit to his claims there.
