    That New Day winning animation needs to be in WWE2K16.

    I remember hearing Austin on his podcast praise Johnny Mundo as he was hitting his 11 year stride, the prime where wrestlers make the most money. His performance at Ultimate Lucha proved that.

    Regardless of who holds it, it's a part of that narrative. I think most recently they have been trying to use the title to make the man, rather than have the man make the title. Barrett (2015), Axel, and Big E were all examples of this. And these damaged the title. However, Ziggler was a great champ in 2014, and his

    Have you heard Dustin talk about the Goldust character? He was excited and wanted to do it because he want to prove to his dad that he could be his own performer separate from Dusty Rhodes.

    Have you seen his Stardust work? It's really great. Instead of trying to break out as a face against Cena, Reigns, Ambrose, Cesaro, etc, he's able to have his own role as a villain on the roster. They can always have him turn back into Cody Rhodes down the line, but the better Stardust is as a villain the more over

    That's only because Cena is holding it. Historically, the IC Title is the one that was used while wrestlers were on their way to main event, such as Stone Cold, the Rock, Triple H, Chris Jericho, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, etc. Because of that narrative, it will always be the more important title to the

    WWE Management:

    Two good divas matches tonight. It's not a revolution quite yet, but it's a good start. Good performances by all the wrestlers.

    I like the theory that she announced them as a way to get the rub from the segment, in order to cleanse people's mind of when AJ Lee called her out on Twitter for saying one thing about empowering women and treating them much differently compared to males.

    "It's not like a McMahon or Helmsley was just going to let something good happen without taking credit for it."

    Steph made the Women's Revolution all seems less organic. It feels forced, and like the WWE trying to catch on as usual. People can try to justify it, but it was definite negative to segment. Instead of talking about empowering the women, how about actually empowering them by giving them the microphone.

    They really brought A-list team to the book. I hope it does well.

    There is going to be a timeskip of 8 months, so that does allow for the story to progress without us seeing it.

    With NXT, I think something like Joe vs Balor is a big enough draw in itself. I think Bayley can still wrestle with her broken hand, but even then, there is a variety of workers they could use. In comparison to talents with a strong indie background, most of the NXT women aren't draws themselves. NXT Women's Division

    Owens vs Cena vs Cesaro at SummerSlam. Cena's rematch clause. Cesaro takes out Cena via a super Neutralizer but Owens steals the pin. You can either move onto Cesaro vs Cena or Owens vs Cesaro. I would go with Cesaro vs Cena.

    I think we are getting a Triple H/ authority face turn pretty soon, in preparation of Rollins vs Triple H.

    Well Cena is going to drop the title to Owens. I think that much is for sure. Battleground is shaping up to be a historic event. I don't know what Cena does afterward, but a midcard feud with Cesaro would be good. The story being that Cesaro is trying to get that big win off Cena, but keeps coming up short.

    I'm not complaining. It's just interesting.

    After seeing him manhandle John Cena like that, I think Cesaro needs a
    new title. Neville may be the man that gravity forgot, but Cesaro
    appears to be the man that doesn't care about gravity.

    The WWE isnt split into brands at the moment, other NXT being a thing. So I doubt that. I never said he wouldnt play a major role in the company, I just said I don't think he will be the face of the company. The WWE will always have a franchise player, and a guy like Dean Ambrose has a much better shot at that role.
