He was on Raw and said he was back, so I would also like confirmation. They've probably realised their current comedy jobbers are too shit, too fat, or too English.

Another episode of Teatime with Santino and I'll die happy.
He's not back in as in back for good, just back for that night to present that crap award.
He has a similar injury to Edge
He was on Smackdown too.
Well he can't wrestler, so could have some other role.
I can't see anything about him never being able to wrestle again. He had a bad injury and a set back after surgery but seemingly he was training for a comeback.
We will see though.
You can bet on pre-determined events? That's fucking mental.Quote:

That's even worse as that was filmed in advance, at least with wrestling you always have the chance of Vince McMahon shitting himself and rebooking with a minute to go.
Or a botched finish. Max Branning can fuck up his lines all he wants but Bradley's still jumping off that roof.
The main difference with wrasslin' is that you know it's pre-determined, rather than being subject to shady betting syndicates in real sports.Quote:

You realise a couple of us have acknowledged that while answering your post?Quote:

Fucking hell, Owens got the jobber entrance and lost to Neville in about 15 seconds. :D
It's a bit there was that odd racist bit about bones through noses because it's so good having Vince back.
"I'm not a rich snob, I'M A FREAKIN' BILLIONAIRE."
If Vince McMahon is so desperate for Roman Reigns to lose the title why is he pissing about giving Sheamus a shot? Don Cena is back, mate (somehow turning the crowd throwing his shirt back into a pop what a legend). Is this shit angle leading up to them bringing Baroque Les-nar back to do their dirty work? That would mean Les-nar going into 'Mania as the heel, and lol at the crowd going along with that.
They're making Reigns even more of a monster than they were when he was getting booed for winning the Rumble. I wonder if he's the one they're going to have properly beat Lesnar (because it's going to happen eventually.)
It's surely going to be him. Don Cena doesn't need it, and nobody else (full-timers at least) is really credible.
It's got to be.
I'd like to have seen them have Rollins give him a better match but they're not going to have somebody who's not a brick shithouse beat him. And as you said, there's nothing to really be gained from having Cena do it.
Dirtsheets and Melzer reckon Luke Gallows, Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles have signed with WWE.

Prob all come up after WM
Reigns has won the rumble then.
This 'Social Outcast' jobber squad is something, and Stone Coldman Reigns has out-stayed his welcome.
HHH to return and enter himself in the Rumble to beat Reigns :drool: The pop!
I would like the title being on the line during the Rumble more if it didn't make the outcome seem a bit inevitable.
The only thing that interests me with this feud is the remote possibility of a Shane O'Mac return to teach Reigns what's what.
HHH wins the belt, The Rock competes for it at WM
That would be pretty amazing. Ten years of crying about Triple Haitch burying people gone in an instant.Quote:

I don't think he's winning it, I can see him being screwed over by the McMahons and Triple H and whoever so we get the ROAD TO WRESTLEMANIA being the intrepid journey to win back the championship he kept getting easy title shots for all the time by the authority figures who hate him.
70 years old :|

Somebody taking that much gear should have done a Macho Man years ago, so it's fair to say at this point that he's going to live forever.
Looks like AJ will go straight to the main roster. The rest will prob go to NXT.
Better bring up Joe so we can have Joe vs AJ again
AJ Styles is 38 years old. Isn't it a bit late to be bringing him into WWE?
I'd imagine given his status in TNA, ROH and NJPW he'd be coming in to be a main eventer, but without acknowledging those promotions what does he offer?
I don't see the point from his point of view in coming to WWE to piss around in the mid card for year or two.
I don't have any real first hand knowledge, but wreddit has been calling him the best wrestler in the world for a few years.
I have no idea about bodybuilding but do you think it's impossible for McMahon to have done that naturally, then?Quote:

I suppose if the laws of nature don't apply to anyone then it's Vincent Kennedy McMahon.
That magazine cover of him back in the day just looked ridiculous, if I'm remembering right.
If they're signing Styles, Gallows AND Anderson they're surely just going to do their own version of Bullet Club. May as well chuck Balor back in there too. Nakamura's probably there so Bryan can get his match against him then retire, and then they'll just pair him with Itami & Asuka as Kaientai 2.0.
Has WWE still been shit the last few months? I've not watched in ages. Will obviously still be in for the Rumble, even if it is a sack of shit where Reigns is practically guaranteed to be final two at worst. Are there even any interesting feuds going on, or are they still exclusively relying on X v Authority for 70% of the airtime & New Day for 100% of the entertainment?
Baroque win will the rumble.

Interestingly, one of the things I read this morning reckoned that only Gallows and Styles are out of contract - Nakamura and Anderson aren't.
Don Cena is now out with shoulder surgery which makes the whole rumble pointless.
Though being serious there's only one of 3 ways this can go. 1. Reigns wins because Vince always gets what he wants. 2. Lesnar wins it. 3. Someone big returns as a surprise and takes it. I've not watched in a while so I don't know how viable these are but it would have to be someone like Rollins(still probably out for another 6 months), Bryan, Undertaker or CM Punk(I know this one wont happen, but it would be nice). With Cena and Orton apparently out that doesn't leave a lot, so all answers point to number 1.
Unless Reigns somehow is/goes over by the end of it though, it could be bad news for ratings.
Totally fucked the Wrestlemania plans, I bet. Wonder if Vince will get on his knees and beg Austin to wrestle.
