Well it felt super weird how they tried to justify Reign'S RR win and cool down the buzz


Off topic but is that the meidocafe guy?

It's pretty predictable that Reigns won't lose to Bryan, although this could be the first match where Reigns might need to go for 2 or more Spears to win the match.

Jeez, JBL and Booker trading blows on the commentary.

Book is great on commentary. The guy puts people over, regardless of them being face or heel, which is what the announce team should be doing.

Apparently Kallisto is going to be debuting a new gimmick. He's going to be a gay hairdresser. He blew away officials, with his portrayal, to the point that he is seriously being considered doing that gimmick instead of continuing with the Kalisto gimmick.

Sounds like Rico all over again. Would be preferable if they had kept his current lucha gimmick.

He could have been the next Rey Mysterio or at the very least have Lucha Dragons bring more competition to the Tag Team Division. Usos, Miz, Gold/Stardust, same tag team matches over and over again. If WWE didn't bother in pushing Rey/BotchCara then why not push the better Sin Cara and Kalisto.

If Ziggler does end up turning heel, I won't even consider watching the event on Mania day. Turning him heel is just unnecessary, and they don't have to go through with it in order to set up a match between him and Bryan. Not only that, but it would only complicate the event when he advocated for the match on Twitter initially, to which Bryan already agreed with complete enthusiasm. And there's the fact that he's probably the 2nd most over wrestler on the roster, and the fans would clearly rather cheer for Ziggler than boo him.

I don't see the appeal in a face vs face match. Sure, it's probably a better decision to keep Dolph face because he's one of the most over guys on the roster and he would be a big loss but what would the feud be about if it was face vs face ? Typical rivalry based on respect ? Personally, i don't wanna see that. I miss the arrogant and cocky Ziggler. The best thing about a heel turn is that he will probably get more mic time, as a face whenever he does talk it's only about him delivering every night which has gotten old now.

From the way I see it, it would deliver more of a classic match with a top Face of the company against another top Face. It may also allow the WWE to finally see that Ziggler will be ready (regardless win or loss as long as he puts up a strong performance). Because for whatever reason, WWE is not putting him out there in the main event even after Survivor Series. The guy really deserves to be in the world picture sometimes this year anyways.

Also from what I understand or read somewhere, the big heel they are trying to bring up is Sheamus; unrelated to this though. However anything is possible at Fast Lane so we'll see.

Ziggler was ready a long time ago but like you said, for some strange reason they hold him back and stick him to the upper-mid card and give him IC title runs. Unfortuately, i don't see Dolph getting his hands on a world title again unless they split the titles again at some point. His strong performances get him more over with the fans and that's about it, he never goes beyond that.

Well, I like Ziggler as a Face as well. There's no need of Face vs Heel match for Bryan and Ziggler, Two baby-faces who wants to prove they are better than another is very interesting story and match, especially with the guys like Bryan and Ziggler who have very great wrestling skills.

If you want to see a cool face vs. face match check out Mr. Perfect vs. Bret Hart in the '93 King of the Ring. It's very possible to do a match of this type and make it really interesting.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll try to watch it. I dot know if you are a puroresu fan but you might enjoy Mitsuharu Misawa vs Kenta Kobashi matches. Their series' match I highly recommend to watch are January 20th 1997 for Triple Crown World Champion in All Japan Pro Wrestling and their encounter in Pro wrestling Noah 2003, both matches are awesome.

I bet you have watched Chris Benoit vs Kurt Angle series' matches haha

I remember some of Benoit and Angle's matches, but it's been quite a while. I'm going through the early raws and PPV's in the 90's on the WWE Network and that match I mentioned was one of them (actually Bret was on a roll all throughout the night, wrestling three very solid matches).

I've watched a few Japanese matches, can't say what organizations they were but they were pretty solid. Not many though, just some of Bryan's work with KENTA and this one brutal as hell women's match that I can't remember who the participants were.

I don't guess your suggestions would be on youtube or something?

I watched it on the WWE Network so no I don't have the link, sorry (you can torrent it if you want, and it should be on the internet somewhere), but it's a 30 minute documentary about Wrestlemania 30, the Undertaker/Brock Lesnar segment is really short, it shows Taker walking to towards the entrance area (which is actually pretty amazing), Vince hugging him before he goes out, and afterwards where he had a concision and Vince yelling to the other wrestlers and workers to help him after the match (since the concussion he had was real), Vince was genuinely concerned about Mark's health after the match was done.

Yes Misawa is great, very athletic for a big man and he has a lot of moves in his arsenal. I'm not a fan of Dave Meltzer, but Misawa is well deserving of 24 five star matches.

No, I don't follow Puroresu actively, WWE is the only company I follow constantly but I do like watching past matches from any company. I heard about Misawa and Kobashi from Yahoo! Answer wrestling section and I gave it a try. Misawa and Kobashi end being up as my second and third favorite wrestlers of all time. I like KENTA, Toshiaki Kawada, Jushin Liger, and Ultimo Dragon as well.

And about Taker, well I hope he still can have one more againts Sting at WM 32. I'm fine if Taker doesn't wrestle on this year, he can definitely just show up at Lesnar-Reign's match after the match over, Taker shows up and chockslam Lesnar and put him into the casket

Fast Lane is for the US title, which makes absolutely no sense for Cena to win. This will most likely result in a DQ finish for Rusev, building him up to be an even bigger threat for Cena to overcome at WM.

So now, the WWE has apparently relinquished the idea of having Dolph vs Bryan at Mania and Dolph will join Ryback and form a tag team with him which will lead to a tag team match at WM for Dolph.

I'm totally ok with tag team pairing but Dolph never had a stellar performance at Wrestlemania yet and a match with DB would be the best way for him to have his first breakout WM match.

I agree about having Bryan vs Rollins at Mania. But if Orton does return prior to Mania Orton most likely will face off againts Rollins at Mania because the last time Orton appeared on TV he attacked Rollins and leaves the Authority. A Heel Sheamus could face off Orton as well in Mania if Bryan vs Rollins does happen but it makes more sense if Orton's opponent is Rollins
