I'm watching some old TNA matches. So much great talent and horrible booking. Who thought having this many guys in this match was a good idea? lol

 

The only thing I'll dislike about it is the fact that Roman still uses their music lol. It won't be as special hearing their music hit even with the sierra hotel etc.

 

Who do you guys think is going to win the Fatal 4 Way this Sunday though? I'm going with Cesaro on this one just because of the shenanigans that happened at Payback. Buuut, wouldn't be surprised if Miz retains for another couple of months.

 

Cesaro. Gives him a purpose over the summer. (Sami and KO already have their feud lined up. Miz has a lot more options outside of the IC picture.)

 

Yeah I'm hoping for Cesaro to win but I have a feeling that Miz is gonna steal one again and maybe lead to another Miz vs Cesaro match at the next PPV, but this time no interruptions from KO and Sami

 

Vince doesn't care about TNA because TNA has never been a threat or even close to serious competition. It's stupid to compare his bias against WCW guys to how he feels about TNA guys.

 

I hope to god Cesaro wins because I don't think Zayn or Owens will be involved in any pinfall in any multi-man match that they're both in

 

I think it will easily be match of the night, though I'm still looking forward to the majority of the event. I know this will sound weird but please put G&A against the Usos in a No DQ match and have them absolutely DECIMATE them. I mean, it's more than likely that AJ is going to lose against Roman, but at least make it a bittersweet event.

 

I think match wise, Extreme Rules is looking pretty great. Hopefully it actually ends up that way. I wish AJ would pull off the win, but there's like a 0% chance of that happening.

 

well aj was also in WCW

 

lol yea ok and HHH was there longer, who cares

 

lol Smackdown

 

Watching Reigns as champ really makes me go back and appreciate how good Cena actually was as "the guy". He's definitely corny af, and sometimes his shtick gets old, but when push comes to shove, he can still be entertaining. His feuds with CM Punk, Lesnar, and Rollins come to mind... but I feel that Cena just needs a stellar opponent to push him to be great.

Reigns on the other hand... I feel like regardless of who they through up against him, I'm just gonna be bored. If there was ever a time for a SuperCena return, let's do it now.

 

Roman as a character and on the mic is boring as fuck, but his matches with Daniel Bryan, AJ, and Bray have been pretty damn entertaining. Maybe chalk that up to the greatness of his opponents, but there have been some entertaining in-ring moments with Roman. That flying spear on Big Show is still a fantastic spot. Now, I don't think he can carry a match or a feud on his own quite yet and legitimately be THE guy, but there have been some glimmers in there.

 

I thought that cage match with Bray was boring af.

 

Felt the same as the HHH match. If we make it long and have lots of "physical" spots, people will love it! In reality, it dragged until the final 5 mins.

The crazy part is they had the perfect booking for Roman, and instead they gave it to Dean for Roadblock. Roman coming out of his "injury", having studied HHH, targeting his quad that whole WM match. HHH fails a pedigree cause his leg gives out and Roman wins...could have actually countered Romans weakness in ring.

But nope, give it to a guy they are seemingly never gonna hand the title

 

Miz will probably get a rematch if he loses. If Cesaro wins, Miz can lose the rematch at MITB and then go do something else (Awesomeco plz) while a fresh face like Corbin or maybe Finn goes after the IC title

If he wins, it'll stretch the Miz/Cesaro feud out a lot longer

 

Reigns is just a failed experiment that is going to last way too many years because that's the plan. At least Cena had like 5-6 years where he wasn't booed no matter what. Reigns had what, 2? That was all because he was in a badass group and he barely had to talk.

 

I know Kevin has the feud with Sami, but the way they've incorporated him into it makes me think they want him in that title picture for a while. Character doesn't seem like the type of guy to take a loss lying down haha, so I still feel there's more to this four person feud yet.

 

I agree. At least Cena is entertaining. Reigns is not meant to be "the guy" he has nothing to offer at this point. He should have been given a gimmick long ago that would have taken off by now one way or another. The whole USO/Rikishi relation bs only adds to his lameness.

 

KO can drop a match to Miz that determines who gets first rematch shot without coming across as too weak. Then once Sami costs him money in the bank he'll forget about his IC goals and just focus on getting revenge on Sami.

 

I feel like Cesaro needs the win the most. If he doesn't get the title I'm worried he will fade away like before.

 

Also, presuming that Rusev wins the US title, a Miz retention would mean New Day are the only true face team with a title. Monday's RAW would be like, 80% booing.

 

Cena says he is operating at 70% of what he was in November. Wouldn't expect a title run just yet.

 

Perfect. Then he should eat a pin for Rusev, cause that'll actually boost Rusev back to dominant heel mode. Cena takes it back at Summerslam, runs US Open Challenge all fall.

I actually think the US Title being used for Sheamus/Del Rio/Rusev to sort out the LoN fall out would be kinda funny.
