I think he was trying to DM it to someone and accidentally posted it.

Just for the record, prior to that post above of mine, I hadn't seen the picture. I did however get bombarded by people posting it on twitter whilst I was trying to keep up to date with BPL football scores last night.
 
I can see this happening. Roman Reigns beats Daniel Bryan cleanly at Fastlane and Daniel Bryan shows respect for Roman, basically an attempt to hand DB fans to Roman.

Sorry but WWE is trying to bury him for real, the only thing left of him is his fans and if this succeeds he'll end up like Zack Ryder :yuck:. and I am annoyed that Roman is getting this glory, he is worst than Cena on the mic and his matches are showing his movesets are limited, like Cena. Yet one-side of the WWE fans are eating him up -_-.

In the Royal Rumble, both Triple H and anti-Bryan claims are total 🤬 on why people were booing Roman. HHH said it was a heel territory but 3 Faces, Dean Ambrose, Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler got the biggest non-legend pop in the Rumble match. Same for the guys who say they were just mad Bryan was eliminated which was true but there was more to that. Why was Reigns the target of all the boos? Why was Ziggler, Wyatt, Ambrose and even Rusev at the end Cheered?

Sorry for all the Reigns fans but this IMO, proves WWE images and I'm starting to think the things CM Punks Pipe-Bomb at 2011 said is happening.

*If I'm wrong about the match I do greatly apologize.

A WWE star turned face on Smackdown last night, don't know who it is but I've been guessing all day....
 
This might not be a major issue, but why the hell is a Taylor Swift song the Fastlane theme? What happened to Saliva, Sevendust, Seether and all those other cool themes from the 2000s? Who selects the PPV themes now. They might say 'It's what the kids are listening to' but they can use their common sense, and not wreck the verisimilitude by accompanying pro wrestling with pop music. /endrant.

Edit: Nevermind. It was some idiot who sabotaged the Wikipedia page. It's displaying the correct theme info now, which to my relief, is much better.

The Big Show knocked out Kane in a tag team turmoil match against Reigns and Bryan. Maybe it's just a heel vs. heel match point, or maybe it's a full turn. Only time will tell.
 
So I have been off work this and I planned one day where I would just watch stuff on the WWE Network and that was today...

First I watched the NXT Takeover show from last night which was a really good show with enjoyable matches and a slightly shocking conclusion

Next I watched Ladies and Gentleman my name is Paul Heyman which is just fantastic!, then I watched the first two episodes of Monday Night War which was also great, really enjoying the Network so far, the place is a goldmine!
 
That Paul heyman documentary is a great piece of film.

Never really been able to NXT, must be missing out.

Anyway, Vince McMahon had a conference call, he said the Rumble controversy was a good thing and the people who were upset were in the "minority" and saying they were upset because "the babyface didn't win". This pretty much convinces me, McMahon is trying to bury Daniel Bryan and is trying to transfer his supporters to Roman Reigns in Fastlane especially when there was a poll that said that 86% of People thought Daniel Bryan deserved the Wrestlemania match in a Poll. It's actually very distasteful IMO :yuck:

There is a promotional poster for WM31, guess who's on the cover :P.

Bigger surprise is that Seth Rollins isn't despite his amazing Heel run.
 
Raw was pretty good last night, two more matches made for Fast Lane and they are both title matches, Bryan and Reigns had separate matches against Big Show and Kane and the show ended with the two brawling and they had to separated by several refs and NXT road agents, elsewhere Rollins made his first appearance since the 'hacking' of last week (he wasn't on Smackdown) and it looks like Gold and Stardust have split up and the Prime Time Players are getting back together

Also, in the dark match after Raw went of the air it was Bray Wyatt going up against Cena, Cena won after making his trademark comeback but after the match there are reports that Wyatt fell ill and threw up in the ring...
 
Big news coming from TNA with reports they couldn't come to an agreement with Samoa Joe over a new contract and the 10 year veteran of TNA has left the company. He's a guy I would have always loved to see in WWE but over the last 2-3 years I've come to notice more and more that they can't use anyone with indy talent for S:censored:.

I smell a mass exodus of all the TNA veterans coming. I think he'll probably turn up at GFW.

I think more of them will look at AJ Styles and realise that he is making a good living while competing in Japan and for ROH. Two IWGP title runs since leaving TNA, taking Devitt's spot as the head of Bullet Club and having what was, in my opinion anyway, ROH's MOTY with Adam Cole (I know reDRagon vs. Young Bucks were all outstaning too however).

I'm still not convinced by GFW. Last year Jarrett ran around proclaiming how he'd done deals with multiple international promotions, yet has done nothing for them. The only thing of note he has done so far was bringing Wrestle Kingdom 9 onto a larger global scale. If you haven't seen it you have to, even if just for Nakamura vs. Ibushi.

LMFTFY

Kevin Dunn/Vince McMahon 101: Only WWE superstars can get over. No-one knows these other bingo hall rejects.

I think Ric Flair when he joined in 1991 is one of very, very, very few outsiders who came in as shining a star as he was outside the WWF. Rick Martel, Curt Hennig, Kerry von Erich, Daniel Bryan all had to be built from the ground up despite their successes elsewhere.
 
While I agree, to be fair, They can't really acknowledged outside achievements outside of ECW or WCW they'll have to send them out as fresh and new since they can't push them from their past.. Look at Kevin Owens, former ROH Champion now acting like he started out in NXT.
 
No they can't so much as mention their other, independent accolades. WWE thrives on that sort of philosophy, as it's the most popular, but not necessarily the best, wrestling promotion. They need to craft each new (to them) talent into their image, so that they can remember them for what they achieved there, and not at any other previous promotion, because that's ultimately what they want to be remembered for.
 
Its a shame what's happened at between Samoa Joe and TNA, Joe was once one of the best wrestlers on the planet from between 2006 ad 2011 but in recent years he has looked a shadow of his former self, put on a ton of weight and in the last year or so he didn't really look that bothered to me, although that is partly down to TNA's inability to put him in a decent storyline, the never really knew how to use him...

Once you would've definitely imagined Vince signing up Joe but right now I think its highly unlikely, Joe has really let himself go in the last year or so....
 
After awhile thinking about the 2 Rumble Controversies. I'm thinking it would've been better if the WWE Title and the World Title remained separated. While WWE started treating the World title like the ECW title in its final run. The 2 title choice prevent the RTW being set to stone. When it was a choice not only did options open to more winners depending on title but if it failed, the other title can counter its flaws. The Unified Title really just made it more predictable and set and one of the reasons I prefer the Ruthless Aggression era over the Attitude era as they did the same (was I the only one who saw Steve Austins Rumble Wins coming?) so it not only ends up being boring but if the storyline lacks any power it just makes WM look awful.

I can say the same about Money in the Bank in 2010 onwards when contracts were for 1 title only
 
Rhyno popped up on NXT last night and had a match, don't know what the deal between him and WWE is though....
