I only got back into wrestling near the end of Morrison's run, but I always though he was a good worker (just a flat character). Drew McIntyre was, I understand, one of "Vince's" guys--like Roman Reigns, Ryback--that he tried to push push push but he never went over.

wow i just watched that last Rumble. I heard it was bad, but that was so much worse than I expected. Watching Kane and Show gently remove everyone from the ring was hilarious.

from what i've seen he's heads and shoulders above those, so i can see how he would have been pushed

Some dude on twitter just posted this pic he took. This needs to main event at Wrestlemania 32 and then they both should retire the next night on Raw. I'd pop stupid hard for this.

McIntyre is very talented and kind of got a raw deal. Why they never put him with Regal, Sheamus and Mason Ryan (maybe Neville too) and did some sort of United Kingdom stable is beyond me.

Undertaker-Sting would be cool for the moment it would be, but the match would be BRUTAL.

I hope next years Mania isn't the nostalgia-fest it seems like it's shaping up to be. I don't want to see 1999's dream card, I want to see 2016's dream card.

At first I thought that match was ok, but now I realize it was terrible. Aside from the non-sensical nWo/dx interference, if Sting can't bend over to lock in the sharpshooter anymore, it's really time to hang it up.

Agreed the match would suck.

Eh....I can not really think of many dream card matches. Angle is not coming back so there goes Angle/Bryan. I'd love to see Brock/Bryan but it won't happen. They are almost out of dream matches at this point. I sound like a broken record but after WM32 I'd be ok with Taker, Sting, Rock and HHH never wrestling again. I expect all of them involved with WM32 though.....again 100,000 tickets!

I'd love to see a Rock/Bryan match but what would the build up be? Makes no sense.

Taker/Sting would be awesome just for the nostalgia factor. The place would blow up.

The title match needs to be Rollins v Reigns v Ambrose. It just has to happen. Maybe in Hell in a Cell even?

Is there any chance of Shawn Michaels wrestling again? I'd love to see him vs D Bry.

I'm just so past seeing the guys from the 90s. I'd rather see the best show they can offer with today's talent. I don't mind Undertaker having a last match, but let it be with Cena or someone who is active. HHH is still a good worker and is an active character so I have no problem there either. Guys like Austin, Sting, Hogan, and even Rock to an extent, I have no desire to see out there in a match.

Would not shock me at all if HBK wrestled Bryan at WM32. It makes a lot of sense actually. Lots of smarks get defensive about HBK coming back. Say he neeeeeeeeeever will. Money talks though and again...............100,000 tickets need to be sold. This will be Mania dialed up to 11.

I actually wouldn't mind seeing Rock v HBK (which never happened....at even at a house show) headline WM32. I'd rather see this than Rock/HHH. They can build up the Rock/HHH angle and HHH can say he doesn't wanna fight him but he knows someone who does. HBK's music hits. A Mania with Taker/Sting, Rock/HBK, maybe something like Bryan/Brock or Bryan/Cena (unify the IC & US titles), Owens/Zayn (PLEASE!!!!) and Rollins v Ambrose v Reigns would be incredible.

As for HBK I could see a tag match too. Something like HHH & HBK v Rock & Reigns. They have to make Roman look really strong. :roll:

Again though after WM32 I'd be ok with no more Taker, Rock, Sting and HHH in the ring. Like ever. They have just pigenonholed themselves with WM 32 being in Cowboys stadium. Selling all of those tickets without the names in this paragraph not being involved would be suicide. That place would not be packed and Vince will sell his soul to the devil to break the indoor attendance record.

We all know VInce is going to say they broke that record whether he they actually do, or not.

Well its looking more and more like the stars are aligning and I will be there so I will see for myself. I will go nuts on Rangers and Mania gear. My credit card dept will love me.

As much as I said he wasn't ready (and still believe it to an extent), after rewatching that WM main event with Reigns, he deserves a lot of credit for helping to make that match quite enjoyable

His biggest shortcoming in the last few months has been the way he has been booked, which is not his fault. He's at least proven he can have a good match in the last few months if given the right opponent. Having a good match with Brock is NOT easy, and he did it.
