If it did then most matches on RAW would be 1 star. I would disagree, to me a great match need emotional involvement and the commentators play a huge role in creating that. When you look at the Hart v Austin classic, the commentators played almost as important a role as the wrestlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
When Jokers Attack Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Commentary can add to the excitement of the match but doesn't factor into the match rating for me. Austin/Hart is one of my all time favourites. It's been a while but next time I watch it, I'll probably say it's the best ever again. Love that match and the story so much.

Andre91 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) So Reigns is taking the title from Owens at the Rumble. FFS. Strowman to win the Rumble? I still think the best option is to have Cena win the title from AJ and Taker win the Rumble. Title vs. Career match as the main event of Mania.

I agree taker v Cena is the most interesting match they have. As for reigns I don't have a strong opinion. They have had Rollins, Reigns and Owens as champions and very little has changed.

When Jokers Attack Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Taker winning Rumble and facing Cena is exactly what I think will happen, maybe even with his career on the line. Cena wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is WWE, who cares about logic Im starting to think though, what with Taker being on RAW, that they're going to do Reigns vs. Taker for the title. Finally that Reigns heel turn to steal a win over The Deadman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallimuse Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I've been reading that Vince has decided not to put Cena & Taker together and doesn't want Taker fighting for any title either. Also apparently Lesnar v Goldberg is going to headline Wrestlemania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way hes coming back to lose. Not short term anyway. Also Lesnar is getting sued by Mark Hunt over his steroid use at the UFC fight so expect that to get a bit of press. WWE won't be putting over a drug cheat whos still suspended by USADA ahead of a returning "superhero". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWE won't be putting over a drug cheat whos still suspended by USADA ahead of a returning "superhero". Disagree with Goldberg winning the Rumble and the title. I don't think they will do that at all. Goldberg and Brock will eliminate each other. They don't need the title for their feud. I've seen the Taker vs. Cena being off the table stuff and I'm hoping it isn't true. It's the biggest match they have. This Rumble is so unpredictable. I'm trying to think of so many scenarios one of them is this: Cena is taking the title at the Rumble, that's what I feel is certain. I'm expecting Samoa Joe to come up and feud with AJ for Mania. And I'm sort of coming round to the idea of Corbin winning the Rumble and taking on Cena for the title at Mania. Corbin has improved hugely the past few months and they've protected him to f**k. Either that or Strowman wins and takes on Reigns, who I believe will take the title from Owens. Where does all of this leave Taker, though? Edited January 14, 2017 by Andre91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckysalt Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 WWE UK tourney tonight was done brilliantly even Cole was good! Can't wait for night 2! Really hope it gets a weekly show. What pissed me off was WWE did a poll afterwards saying thumbs up or thumbs down and it was 60/40 when I looked, I know the 40% would be yanks not even watched it voting down just cus they didn't know anyone in it, I saw it loads on wrestling websites in comments yanks saying they're not watching it cus it will be shit because they don't know the wrestlers. What an awful attitude. Its this reason TNA struggled during its GOOD years so they filled the roster with WWE has beens and still people wouldn't give it a try, them when AJ, Joe, Roode etc all leave and go WWE, they love them, fuck wrestling fans can be closed minded. On the bright side, I did see on twitter some US fans seeing these guys for the first time and really praising the work, which was great to see. It was far, FAR superior to any Raw in memory.

CHRLY Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Cole can be great when he's not got Vince in his ear. In completely switched off to 'rasslin at the moment but will try and get this tourney watched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pink_triangle Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I could see him involved in s non wrestling role where he gives a rub to American Alphas. It's clearly well deserved. Not only was he the most consistent in terms of match quality, he was also one of the most adaptable characters. He could do face/heel. Comedy/serious very well.
