Yeah, my biggest concern is that while they are pushing Reigns to the top they will cast aside Rollins and Ambrose, two of the best workers in the industry today. Ambrose reminds me so much of a young Piper.

[BigRedLedbetter]

I'm telling ya dude (and anyone else interested) do yourself a favor and check out Ambrose on the indies. Incredible heel promos. I think all 3 of them can have big careers on their own. It'll all depend on what creative has for them.

I've seen some of Ambrose's stuff in combat zone and it's top notch.

[BigRedLedbetter]

I probably like pro wrestling way more than a grown adult should but oh well. Do you (or anyone else) have the WWE Network? Talk about a rabbit hole.

Have fun at Raw tonight! Where are your seats? Kind of a lull period right now. Bummer you won't see a Bryan match.

we got some in the corner of the lower bowl, maybe 10-12 rows up. should be good for viewing the ring and the tron.

i agree with whoever said that rollins doing the turn means he won't be forgotten- he was definitely the outsider in terms of individual hype amongst the group. ambrose and reigns will be fine, rollins needed the rub/reason to have people pay attention to him.

The network basically got me back into wrestling, it's incredible.

[BigRedLedbetter]

I hope they add more house shows on there. Really fun to relive all of it. The Warrior documentary was incredible.

Me too. Have you watched Legends House? I was expecting a train-wreck, but it's a surprisingly good show.

[BigRedLedbetter]

Legends House is a lot of fun. Piper is hilarious. Hoping they get Sheik, Hogan, Flair and/or Bret Hart in the next one.

I havent watched much of the new programming, I've just been lost in the archives pretty much since it came out. I stopped watching around like 05/06 and I caught up on alot of that stuff. I havent even really delved into the ECW shows yet, which Im really looking forward to.

[BigRedLedbetter]

The Eddie G/Dean Malenko matches in ECW are just wonderful

[tommymtcom]

I watched a whole bunch of Hollywood Blondes matches over the weekend, man I love those guys.

What a fun tag team. Incredible chemistry together between Austin and Pillman.

the last show here was the elimination chamber ppv, which had shield v. wyatt's in an instant classic, so i'm kinda disappointed there's really no chance for something like that again.

oops.

show was fun. much less attendance than a few months ago, with the upper deck pretty much blacked out except 5-6 sections facing the camera. but the crowd that was there came alive when it was warranted. cena's reaction this time was much more positive than the ppv show in february. sandow was great with his schtick, and the crowd got behind him. same with barrett (though sheamus had a lot of support, too). paige also seems to be connecting which is good because i like me some paige. ambrose owned his promo, and i would say that was the highlight of the night for me. it felt like a lot happened over the course of the night, but the show definitely missed having guys like bryan and orton around. there also was no del rio, no ziggler, no big show, no kane.

raw is coming back here on dec22. i don't remember the last time, if ever, this area had three consecutive live broadcast shows. we tended to get a lot of smackdown tapings and raw house shows with an occasional monday night raw, but the last couple years have been quite different.

Thanks for the write up. Always cool to hear from people who were at the show.

Minny seems to have pretty good crowds. I remember the Elimination Chamber crowd being really into it but that was a PPV.

Crowd sounded like they were really into it when Steph and HHH declared the title vacant. Steph looked awesome as always as did Lana.

Ambrose was awesome on his promo. Delivery was just perfect. I wish they did more with Sandow. They have really buried him since he failed to cash in the MitB briefcase. The last few weeks he has been entertaining though. the segment with Hugh Jackman a few weeks ago was really funny. It'll be funny next week with Kevin Hart hosting.

It'll be interesting to see which way they go with the title. I kinda hope Cesaro wins it and Brock comes back and challenges him at like Summerslam.

[numbers]

I would be surprised if the title doesnt end up on Cena. As much as I cant stand him, who else would it go to? Orton's title run was so stale I cant imagine them throwing the belt back on him so quickly. Sheamus has been a boring midcarder for a long time, and pretty much everyone else who they would put in the match is too green for the title right now. Ziggler is my obvious answer, but I cant imagine that happening.

[numbers]

Also, if WWE plans on pushing Reigns to the top soon, associating him with Cena in anyway is about the worst way to go about it.

[BigRedLedbetter]

I'm hoping Cesaro ends up with the title soon.

Agreed...I hate how they have buried Dolph.

[MattA75]

I just thought Ambrose would be the better heel, plus he's the only one of the 3 that isn't embarrassing on the mic.

yeah but he can get himself over because of that, and it's obvious they view Reigns as the next A1 babyface

Rollins needed some help, his work in the ring is great but if you can't make people give a shit about your character (see Ziggler), you're going nowhere

[fitzy]

Dean killed it on RAW. He was amazing in his match. He took crazy sick bumps & looked great. He could be this generation's Macho Man.
Dean v Rollins needs to happen at MITB.
