I still don't get the Naomi hate tbh.

She's a horrific talker, a meh worker despite being very athletic and her finisher is literally assing somebody in the face.

And please WWE. Give me Bray vs Bryan - they have a great history of working insanely well together. Only real issue is you damn well would have to have Bray win and I don't know if that's the right move with Bryan right now.

 

[Cor]

I feel like if it's Bray or KO returning to face Bryan, you almost need to give them the win right?

If Bray comes back and he loses, any momentum of his return is gone.

KO you could have lose, but I feel like KO is going to be super over when he returns. It's been a long time.

I don't hate Naomi but she is to me the most disappointing in-ring performer for someone with her athletic ability. You can tell she just doesn't have the instincts for wrestling. You can tell in her personality that she conveys on TV and how she works. She should be so much better than she is especially with the resources around her.

Yeah I don't get why she uses that one so often.....well....I guess I have a pretty good idea why she might.

Still, though, there's a few moves she hits often that could be a more suitable finisher.



The top three would all be better than the "rear window".

Both guys will be over as shit when they do return - especially if they return against heat machine DB.

Both Owens and Bray always maintained popularity (Owens moreso) despite all booking/character/whatever issues. A long time off TV is only going to increase the love.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

They better hope Kofi doesn’t keep getting these responses. He’s not even pegged for the Fastline title match.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

But KO/Bray is on the RAW roster no.....

 

[Emperoreddy]

Man you guys are overestimateing Bray. He will get a return pop, but it won’t be anything insane.

 

[Dr Pepper]

But KO/Bray is on the RAW roster no.....

As we've seen with Smackdown's Charlotte apparently gunning for Ronda's Raw title despite not having any real reason/ability to do so, Vince doesn't seem to care too much about branding when it's a storyline he really likes.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

But KO/Bray is on the RAW roster no.....

There seems to be this weird thing where any sort of inactivity for a bit due to injury makes one a free agent. It’s weird.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Yeah I was just doing my daily point out of how I think the brand split is dumb.

 

[WolvesFanSudbury]

Is Bray even coming back as Bray? If he does , and is finnaly booked right there could be something there. The Next Undertaker without ever being at that level. Dont book him horribly, keep the mystique, I will go back to watching if hes booked right as Hes always been my favourite

 

[Disclose]

any of Bryan vs Wyatt/KO makes me a very happy person.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Dave’s full quote.

“Kofi Kingston was not the plan as of this morning for either Fastlane or WrestleMania, and obviously things can change.
So the WrestleMania story that I’ve heard was that it would be someone who is being brought back as opposed to somebody he’s been facing. The people on the list for discussion that could be brought back Bray Wyatt, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, Kurt Angle, Undertaker, John Cena, Batista... Kurt Angle has been in discussion for WrestleMania. I don’t think it’s going to be Kurt Angle though. There could be others but those are the names that I’m aware of that are available for discussion.”

Also the observer is NOW saying Kofi is the front runner to get a title shot at Fastlane. So indeed plans change fast.

Edit: if Dave’s sources are right then all this says is they don’t know what to do with Bryan at Mania.

 

[BonMorrison]

Ugh, Fast Lane is such a cop out.

Reminds me of when they did Ambrose/Triple H at Roadblock when Ambrose was white hot and should've been in that Mania match instead of Reigns.

 

[GarbageGoal]

Can we have 2003 Kurt Angle fight Daniel Bryan 2013? Because that would be The GOAT match.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Maybe instead of the "three I's", Daniel can have the "three F's....Fickle, Fickle and Fickle!"

Real talk, though, they better keep Angle off that card if the plan isn't to go with Kofi.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Can we have 2003 Kurt Angle fight Daniel Bryan 2013? Because that would be The GOAT match.

Any Bryan would be GOAT match tbh

 

[Pinkfloyd]

They'd probably do Cena-Bryan at Mania and so long as Bryan wins that match, I'm okay with that.

 

[GKJ]

It's not Cena.

 

[Kakko]

 

[Dr Pepper]

Well that's not vague at all.

 

[Jussi]

NXT tv deal? On Tuesday's???

 

[M.C.G. 31]

They'd probably do Cena-Bryan at Mania and so long as Bryan wins that match, I'm okay with that.

Not Cena.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Change nothing about NXT. Please.
