QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 09:59 AM) Odd to know that the house show in Hammond on 4/23 is adverising Styles vs Orton vs Wyatt, so I wonder if they'd scrap that and just go Orton vs Wyatt? Good ol' "Card Subject to Change"

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 09:21 AM) Any rumors on who would replace them? The mighty high powered Edwardsville??? Murray, Belmont and Valpo are names I've heard. Who knows.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 08:56 AM) I've got tickets to Backlash already -- but if those above rumored trades occur, I will be enormously heart broken. Ya, I'm with ya on that. I like Charlotte but I've also seen her a lot more in person than I have Alexa. And AJ is AJ so it'd suck to not see him in person. I'll still be pumped to see Nakamura though. Only seen him once in person and it was before everyone knew his song so you didn't get that aspect to go with it.

It's kind of been oddly kept under wraps I feel but there's a Takeover now the day before Backlash in Chicago. There's an Evolve show during the day that Saturday as well. Think I'm going to hit up Evolve, Takeover and Backlash which is just stupid but whatever, it'll be a good time.

I'd give it a try.

So you don't watch NXT as a series, you don't care about matches with out a backstory but you watch the NXT ppv's? To each their own. And I had a feeling that was going to be your response on the New Day and Enzo and Cass. I'm not going to argue much on that as there is a reason I've soured on both(thought I still get a kick out of the New Day at times). Still, their mic skills are what got them over and they're good at what they do. Might not be for me or you but they're definitely good on the mic.

And Emma is a great character worker and the story with Asuka was well done so I don't get where you're coming from there. Omega is also a fantastic interview but that's fair if it's not your style. I mean, everyone has their things they prefer in wrestling so you're entitled to your opinion on what you like most like the rest of us. If you're not Emma's biggest fan then that's understandable but call her crap is just incorrect and it's funny cause everything you ranted about that you like is stuff she's good at.

It'll definitely be interesting to see what happens if AJ, Finn and Gallows/Anderson are all on the same show. My hope would be a Finn heel turn to join up with Gallows/Anderson after they turn on AJ again. Probably wont happen as I'm sure Finn sells a lot of merch and is an easy market but I can hope.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 5, 2017 -> 09:39 AM) If you trade AJ to RAW in light of Cena leaving -- you may as well cancel Smackdown. Nakamura will not be able to carry that show on his own with just the Miz to go heel against him. This talent shuffle HAS to even out the rosters in the end. I keep hearing the same thing from the IWC -- that AJ and Bliss are going to RAW for crap like New Day and Enzo/Cass/Emma. Do that and other than Nakamura matches against Miz, I could stop watching the rest of Smackdown entirely. Calling Emma crap is silly. She's really good in the ring, plays a great character and ain't too shabby to look at either. There's plenty of rumors about who is going where so I wouldn't get crazy yet. It seems likely AJ is going to raw, wouldn't be surprised if Alexa does either but I'm sure they're not getting just tag teams back.

I wouldn't be shocked if Roman goes to SD. Keeps him and Brock away from each other so they can run that at Mania next year if they want. Sami should be a no brainer to go to SD but who knows what they're doing with him. I'm cool with all the people above switching brands.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 09:00 PM) Wyatt gimmick has become very lame It's been dead to me for years. But he's over and people still love him so whatever.

To add to the Roman debate that is never going away: Dude is really good in the ring, I don't think that's even a debate anymore. He's still incredibly boring as a promo and a character to me but last night was f***in perfect. If they use him like that then great. He's never going to be my favorite guy but he's definitely earned his spot. Anywho, super happy Nak and The Revival are on the main roster. Tye isn't my jam but he's incredibly over and should be a fun mid card act on the main roster. Roster shake up should be fun. Hoping Finn and The Club stay on Raw with AJ coming over so we can finally dive into that whole thing.

Taker absolutely should have put over Roman, kind of surprised that's even being debated.

There's plenty of reasons to hate but I won't tonight, just going to get drunk and watch 43 hours of wrestling.

Thing I want tonight: Sasha turn, Matt and Brother Nero showing up, Finn showing up. I'm guessing at least one of those happen. I hope emma is in the SD title match too.

He's despised, Greg. No other way to put it.

They're good. That's my analysis on the 2017 Cubs.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 03:07 PM) If Q wins the Cy Young I'll never want to let him go. You will once you see what we get back if he were to win the Cy.

I literally have no opinion on this either way but I decided to post in this thread anyways.

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 01:31 PM) They are getting some pretty good pop from the fans and the shock factor of Goldberg squash is still there. Outside of that, it's mostly Heyman doing this thing and minimizing matches and physical confrontation between those two before Mania. I'm definitely not denying the crowd factor as they've been hot for this for some reason. And this wont be popular but I'm a little bit over Heyman at this point despite him being one of the best ever. As far as minimizing the matches and confrontations I think it's the fact that Goldberg just can't do anything, nothing more. Anywho, despite the fact that I've watched less wrestling these last 2 months than I have in about 7 years and the fact I don't care about a single match on the card, I've still managed to get myself excited for Sunday.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 01:05 PM) PERSON Sox signed this guy Robert, never heard of him. ME Yeah I scouted some video. Really ...short and ... nice swing. Uses...hips correctly. Definitely has the height you see in some players that are successful. Don't forget that the ball jumps off his bat. For real though, it's pretty hard to not be impressed but at the same time who the hell knows what we're actually seeing with something like this.

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 11:22 AM) Least excited I'm about Mania in a while, and it's not that the build up for the matches are bad - Jeri-KO, Brock vs Goldberg, Seth vs Hunter, Cena vs Miz all has some pretty good build ups (on the other hand, the Orton/Bray storyline was just bad the past few weeks), but I don't think any of the matches will be Mania worthy, for various reasons. On a side note, the Alpha vs Usos tag match last week was awesome. It's unfortunate that they aren't getting a match at WM. Has Brock-Goldberg been good? Granted, this week has been the first full Raw and SD's I've watched since the rumble but holy hell that go home segment was garbage.

So that Warriors-Spurs game last night was something, eh?

So next week is the vote down here to see if the city of St. Louis is going to fund the build of a new Soccer stadium. Everyone I know is voting yes for it but we all got a feeling it wont happen.
