Future Plans for the Main Event Scene in WWE
According to the Wrestling Observer, there have been rumors that John Cena will face Brock Lesnar at TLC, however the current plan remains for Cena and Lesnar to face off at Royal Rumble. Roman Reigns is being advertised for December house shows but it looks like he may not return until after Royal Rumble. The plan for the title is for Lesnar to beat Cena at Royal Rumble and face Reigns at Wrestlemania XXXI.
Bob Geigel Passes Away
Former NWA President Bob Geigel passed away yesterday at the age of 90. Geigel started in the ring in the 1940's, then retired in the 70's and became a promoter in the Central States territory before Jim Crockett bought it out in 1986. His NWA Presidency ran from 1978 to 1987.

And we get the WWE Network on Monday! Yay!
ReplyDeleteSaid over the BoD public address system:

"LET THE ANARCHY......................BEGIN!!!"
.
*huge pop from the crowd*
Jericho was going to be on the tour? Thought he was done with his latest stint?
ReplyDeleteApparently he WAS just working the European tour in between
ReplyDeleteFozzy stuff.
He said on Wrestling Observer Radio that they asked him to be on the tour, even though he's currently not working. He didn't want to do TV, but might be on a Smackdown taped there.
ReplyDeleteWas Randy Orton pulled from the European tour... OUTTA NOWHERE?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteThey’re splitting the roster in two for the UK tour so they
ReplyDeleteprobably need as many bodies as possible
I watched Snowpiercer last night... then I had nightmares.
ReplyDeleteSee because "RKO OUTTA NOWHERE" is a popular internet meme revolving around Randy Orton... and he was pulled from the European tour... WHAT A BUNCH OF COCK SUCKERS YOU GUYS ARE!!!
ReplyDeleteSo how the hell will they put Roman in the main event, if he's not in the Rumble? I know it can be done, but it seems strange.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to check it out this weekend.
ReplyDeleteHere we go again with you defending everything WWE does!
ReplyDeleteWeren't you the one that heavily recommended it? You haven't seen it?
ReplyDeleteI know, eh! There are 2 sure things in life. Me NEVER criticizing WWE EVAH, and Cena never EVER EVER losing!
ReplyDelete#VINCENEVERCRITISIZESLOL
ReplyDeleteI'm having my furnace and ducts cleaned today.
ReplyDeleteHell yeah!
ReplyDelete...wait you meant that literally and not as a euphemism for a blow job?
#MELTDOWN!!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of that B:TAS episode "Mad Love where Joker says "If you have to explain the joke, there is no joke!"
ReplyDeleteLOL last night in the evening thread DanimalCrossing randomly posted that we were all a bunch of cock suckers.
ReplyDeleteSee I have gone meta with it where explaining the shitty joke IS the joke.
ReplyDeleteI know, I know #MindBlown
Nothing's strange for Roman Reigns!
ReplyDeleteSadly.
ReplyDeleteThen you throw a grenade i the audience, ala McBain?
ReplyDeleteExcept the ring rats he picks up because of his glorious hair.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling kind of punchy today... someone says something dumb so I can make fun of you.
ReplyDeleteVJ's admitted Man Crushes (You are allowed 3 without being gay)
ReplyDelete-Roman Reigns
-Jax Teller (Sons of Anarchy)
-Bobby Cobb (Cougar Town).
But yeah, NOT GAY.
Chicks dig the mane of Roman Reigns!
ReplyDeleteI have seen it. But I'm watching it again. ****1/2
ReplyDeleteDo you have a laminated wallet sized version of this list?
ReplyDeleteUnrelated question... are there any good musicals coming out soon?
No, I just wanted to reference that episode because it was so awesome.
ReplyDeleteHulk Hogan should be WWE champion because that would save the WWE Network.
ReplyDeleteJohn Cena is the greatest wrestler of all time.
ReplyDeleteVery yes. The car with the school children and the chick from the Newsroom was very disturbing.
ReplyDeleteHe said say something dumb, not say something that really needs to happen
ReplyDeleteNo one is THAT stupid, I meant something realistic!
ReplyDeleteNeeds more HHH, the greatest star of our time whom NO ONE put over.
ReplyDeleteI feel there is a Jian Ghomeshi joke in here somewhere.
ReplyDeleteRoss will kick himself forever for changing his list.
ReplyDelete"A mouth is a mouth, but don't let anyone fuck you in the ass."
ReplyDeleteI've never heard someone say something nice about Bob Geigel. Anyone want to change that?
ReplyDeleteEveryone be cool, no need to force it,
ReplyDeletesomeone will say something genuinely dumb any second now….
I have no idea who that is... is he, like Dave Coulier, a Canadian property?
ReplyDeleteYou silly goose. Movies are fake! Rating them is stupid. [/Russo]
ReplyDeleteRoman Reigns will NEVER GET OVER.
ReplyDeleteWaits.
See, now Dave Coulier makes ME get all punchy. Stupid Peter Venkman wannabe...
ReplyDeleteTo my knowledge he never practiced cannibalism...
ReplyDeleteThere you go, someone said something dumb!
ReplyDeletethanks, now the guy can rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I often support and defend HHH, but that comment of his is absurd.
ReplyDeleteNeeds more "Bro"
ReplyDeleteNever wanted to try new things, that asshole.
ReplyDeleteI was amzed watching the Cavs - Knicks game out well the 3 man commentary team of Marv Albert, Charles Barkley, and Reggie Miller was. Albert called the action instead of shilling the NBA app or League Pass. Barkley was blunt was in analysis of the league, while also being very insightful about the psychology of the game as a former player himself. His interplay with Reggie Miller was also very organically funny as they weren't trying to crack lame scripted jokes. Miller also gave a nice nod to the past acting disgusted when Spike Lee stood up. This team really brought up the level of the broadcast and made me excited to watch the NBA this year. Amazing how easy it is do commentary correctly when the team is relaxed and doing what they do best.
ReplyDeleteBarkley makes everything better.
ReplyDeleteAdd him to a bowl of Cheerios and watch the magic.
I think they were doing it wrong.
ReplyDeleteI try to help. I am a giver, that's just who I am.
ReplyDeleteMeat and beaver cleavage in 1999 is the equivalent of HITC's spooky finish and Dean ambrose today.
ReplyDeleteOk. My mind went somewhere it shouldn't have.
ReplyDeleteAlso, VJ is not gay.
It's okay if he is. He kinda reminds me of Smithers.
ReplyDeleteBest version of Bizarre Love Triangle: New Order, Stabbing Westward, or Frente?
ReplyDeleteNow who would say something so stupid?
ReplyDelete*ahem*
Hey now, cut it out!
ReplyDeleteYou argue in vain over Roman Reigns!
ReplyDeleteMy week long social experiment into the fragile psyche of the modern wrestling fan is now over. I'd like to thank Vince Jordan for being a good sport about the whole thing. I will be posting the full essay over in the forums shortly for no one to ever find. Thanks again everyone for being such good sports about everything.
ReplyDeleteHm. Who would be his mr. Burns?
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean we are NOT all cock suckers?
ReplyDeleteHE'S A HOMO
ReplyDeleteI wish they'd cool their jets on Reigns. I think he's got a bright future, but they're going to try and shoehorn him into a top spot before he develops into the badass worker they want him to be.
ReplyDeleteBEELLLEEE DAT!!!
ReplyDeleteYou sound like Marshall Henderson.
ReplyDeleteGood sports, really? I thought everyone got kinda mad!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteNah that was like .3 BoD mad. N00b!
ReplyDeleteI am a noob :(
ReplyDeleteWWE in general.
ReplyDeleteSome douche.
ReplyDeleteIt's all good we all had to start somewhere... except Meekin he was part of the original universe required to bring balance to it.
ReplyDeleteUmm... YOU'RE WELCOME!! i think...
ReplyDeleteNot a person, just the entity of WWE itself.
ReplyDeleteIf I wanted Reigns jammed down my throat, I'd...um... er.
ReplyDeleteWhat were we taking about?
Also, VJ is not gay.
They really should turn him heel to keep him cool and prevent another Cena situation.
ReplyDeleteBest Rumble spot ever:
ReplyDeleteBoth Miz and Mizdow are in the ring. Miz gets eliminated, by say, Sheamus, and Mizdow throws himself over the top rope to imitate him.
There's no way that isn't happening.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to a video of Bob's greatest moments on TV. Namely, where he reads legal jargon to announce that Flair and Race will rematch at Starrcade for the NWA title.
ReplyDeleteI'll text Mcmahon right now. Just a sec.
ReplyDeleteTNA is going to get a new television deal and be profitable in 2015.
ReplyDeleteI will never be gay, because of AJ.
ReplyDeleteInstead of Sheamus, I hope it's the returning Santino and Miz gets eliminated by the Cobra. Again.
ReplyDeleteAJ is the natural "beard" for closeted wrestling fans right now.
ReplyDeleteThe cheers won't wane over Roman Reigns!
ReplyDeleteWhatever happens at the Rumble, I just want a surprise Daniel Bryan entrance. It would be the perfect follow-up to last year when people boo'd the Rumble out of the building because he wasn't in it.
ReplyDeleteOnly to get thrown out by Reigns 30 seconds in. Now *THAT* will make Reigns the next supah face!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, they need to make sure he's healthy and not push him to work through it.
ReplyDeleteSecond, they should take their time. If he catches on, awesome. If not, let him wrestle a lot and figure out how to work.
No one else will remain against Roman Reigns!
ReplyDeleteGot some Halloween Wrestling memories up today for anyone that wants to kill some time with random wrestling videos!
ReplyDeletehttp://placetobenation.com/pro-wrestling-halloween-bucket-of-treats/
It was perfect. Lots of great insight into fragile minds.
ReplyDeleteDo you find that you can pick up the same amount of speed while back peddling?
ReplyDeleteTell him to stick the winner while you are at it.
ReplyDeleteUnderstood. I am totally comitted to spreading your propa-- um. Truth.
ReplyDeleteWe seem to be in a weird zone where the audience can 'sense' who the company is getting behind, and a large segment is actively interested in going against that push.
ReplyDeleteIs this a legit meme, or are you just trying to make fetch happen?
ReplyDeleteFinding Styles sexy is still gay dude.
ReplyDeleteNo idea what you're talking about, you grumpy Gus.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's legit or not, but it's a way for him to get over if he says that at the end of every interview.
ReplyDelete"The heat will be insane with the return of Roman Reigns!"
RIP Geigel, he was a GREAT example of what an authority figure should be. On TV, at least.
ReplyDeleteThat isn't my name you COCK SUCKER!
ReplyDeleteI'd take that over what we get now from the "brass".
ReplyDeleteOut of 12 ppv matches he only wins 10 of them, why are guys complaining? Geez.
ReplyDeleteHey guys I am starting to think that wrestling may not always be a legitimate sports contest that is on the up and up. :-/
ReplyDeleteDAMN YOU!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's just what WWE *hopes* will happen :/
ReplyDeleteI'm listening to Teddy Long's shoot preview and I'm ready to get the full shoot. He said he went out on tv doing the "playa" thing and everyone back stage hated it because they didn't understand it. He said what I thought all along, no one back there understands how to write for minorities.
ReplyDeleteAlso, not suspected of cannibalism.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of praise going around today.
You will remain in pain if you try to contain Roman Reigns!
ReplyDeleteMaybe in an Orton-shoulder-recovery-percentage ham-handed way, but otherwise..... no, just.... no.
ReplyDeleteNew order #1, Frente #2, Stabbing Westward Never.
ReplyDelete.
I can't express in enough words my dislike for Stabbing Westward. It's like there was an effort to be just like NIN, but without the depth. It was music for cutters to be sure, but only to make the music stop.
If he doesn't turn the shoot into a TAG TEAM match with The Undatakah it is a flop.
ReplyDeleteRoman Reigns versus the Demon Kane!
ReplyDeleteThat is an obscure band to take such a strong stance on.
ReplyDeleteYeah, remember when Hogan, Bruno and Backlund lost clean 50% of the time for years and years?
ReplyDeleteIf you hear about some fat guy shooting up a call center in WI, well, I probably won't be posting for awhile.
ReplyDeleteI fucking hate people.
Bad day?
ReplyDeleteHuh, cool. You were really weird last night about Cleveland sports fans and was hoping that was a gimmick.
ReplyDeleteFatty.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the club.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind individuals, such as the fine posters here. Yes, even VJ. But "people" as a whole? Yeah, fuck them.
people b stupid. Just comes with life. It's Friday AND Halloween. Get ya some candy, playa!
ReplyDeleteIn a three way with Mark Henry - can the Demon Kane and Roman Reigns stay the same or will they remain in the Hall Of Pain?
ReplyDeleteOh because he's fat you automatically assume he wants candy? Weightist!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember Bruno at all.
ReplyDeleteI remember the fans turning on Hogan and him getting turfed and then forced to turn heel.
TJ: Dan Patrick busting the NFL's balls over the Saints "Sunday Night to Thursday Night on the road" turnaround. Wnyx would be happy.
ReplyDeleteA TAG TEAM MATCH WITH REESE'S, PLAYA!
ReplyDelete"Get ya some candy, playa!"
ReplyDelete#HOSSAPPROVED?
Heh, Eagles got screwed hardcore a couple of years ago with a 4:15 home game against the Pats (where they got blown out) and had to travel to Seattle for a TNF game against the 'Hawks (where they, again, got blown the F out).
ReplyDelete2012 was a GREAT year for the Eagles.
Never trust a guy whose last name is also a first name.
ReplyDeleteBill Murray said it best in Groundhog Day. "People are morons".
ReplyDeleteNo free candy at my workplace, which is odd, actually. I expect to stop at DQ on my way home.
ReplyDeleteWait. The forums are still a thing that's happening?
ReplyDeleteyou know if Groundhog Day were really happening to someone, we would have no idea that it was.
ReplyDeleteMind Blown!
SUCH a strong stance needed to be taken in 1995 that it's going to take more than 19 years for it to soften.
ReplyDeleteYes, 1995 Hogan was pathetic. Cena is nowhere NEAR that. Hogan was hulking up to the sound of crickets. Cena, love or hate him, always gets huge reactions. So I'm afraid you'll have to be a bit more patient!
ReplyDeleteHogan fought about 5 times a year on TV, probably not even
ReplyDeletethat. Cena’s all over everything.
Have I mentioned I HATE Halloween. My friend that's having a party is pissy that I'm not dressing up. I guess I could tell I'm going as the Genius. Heyoooooo
ReplyDeleteIf not, I got the hookup........HOLLA.....if ya hear me
ReplyDeleteTrue. Maybe some of the misery on here is because they've watched the same sub par Raw for the past 2842 days?
ReplyDeleteThis all sounds like a pretty good Advertising Campaign for Roman Reigns!
ReplyDeleteStick with my approach "I am going as a grown up who stopped dressing up for Halloween around the same time he went to his first Backstreet Boys concert"
ReplyDeleteI can't explain this Roman Reigns ad campaign
ReplyDeleteI loved when Jim Halpert came dressed as "Dave". Just with a nametag with "dave" on it.
ReplyDeleteWell, sure.
ReplyDeleteBut it's not like it's ice cream.
Boom, I'll even add in that last sentence.
ReplyDeleteJust had an awkward talk with my CEO while dressed up as Duffman.
ReplyDelete#Halloweenproblems
Thanks I tried to tailor it to the individual. I take a lot of pride in what I do.
ReplyDeleteProfits this quarter are steady!
ReplyDeleteIndeed they are.
ReplyDeleteKonnan says all the time that they don't have anyone that knows how to write for the lucha guys.
ReplyDeleteYou know if he wanted to bang Andie McDowell so bad why didn't he just force himself on her somewhere. Rape is ok. /CoolTrainerBret
ReplyDeleteCloset homo.
ReplyDeleteHow hard is it to write Pinata On A Pole?
ReplyDeleteThat is just not accurate... I don't think he is really closeted at this point.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm sure there were some dark days not shown in the movie where he did just that
ReplyDeleteDVD extras or GTFO
ReplyDeleteWhat I don't get is why he still showed up to freaking work every single time. Why not catch an early 8am flight and travel? Snow storm just happened around noon.
ReplyDeletePretty much.
ReplyDeleteIt really shows in the writing. Hey, go out there and do this outdated stereotype gimmick I saw in this old movie last night.
ReplyDeleteNo.
ReplyDeleteHe committed suicide a dozen times, there's no way he didn't sometimes rape and massacre the whole town just for the fuck of it
ReplyDeleteYeah there were a lot of things he could have done but didn't take advantage of. They need to have that same movie but with like Spacey's character from House Of Cards instead... it would be so much more fun with a true scumbag at the center.
ReplyDeleteBut... how can you not trust Bruce Wayne?
ReplyDeleteYou mean you just unwittingly got promoted.
ReplyDeleteOk, let's go with Bret/Shawn/Austin/Rock then. When they were top faces, they barely ever jobbed clean. (And I mean 1999 to 2001 Rock. Not after he had a foot in hollywood).
ReplyDeleteThis has been the most pointless workday ever. I have been posting here all morning and I think I am still the most productive person in the office.
ReplyDeleteI like something along those lines... the first day, he does something scummy right after waking up. The next "day", he avoids the first temptation but can't resist the second. Each "day" sees him going further and further without doing something evil, but never making it to the end of the day. The last "day", he gets close before someone else kills him, ending the movie.
ReplyDeleteBecause he's steeotypical honky living up on the hill in his mansion? He'd totally slash the pension funding to buy a new batmobile.
ReplyDeleteThat's damn good actually.
ReplyDeleteBret was a top face from 92-96. Shawn from 95-96. Austin
ReplyDeletefrom 98-02. Rock from 98-02. CENA FROM 2004-2014 ARGH.
Batman = The 1%
ReplyDeleteThe BOD has an office?
ReplyDeleteThink how I feel. It was 2pm UK time when this went up. I spent the first five
ReplyDeletehours at work just WAITING for this to be posted. That’s even less productive.
I've been working not to work all morning.
ReplyDeleteCurse the guy for having longevity and loving the business!
ReplyDeleteWe just had a vote here, about how early can we leave without pissing off corporates.
ReplyDeleteWait so it is like 3PM over there already? DON'T SPOIL IT FOR ME I want to see what happens on my own!
ReplyDeleteWhatever, that Batmobile probably helped save countless lives from a Joker laughing gas bomb attack because it got Batman to the scene of the crime fast enough.
ReplyDeleteNo worries dude. I swore after I spoilt 9-11
ReplyDeletefor everyone that I’d never do that again.
He just got it for the tax write off.
ReplyDeleteOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ReplyDeleteI will! And again same time tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteAnd still some 3K people didn't get the spoiler.
ReplyDeleteFuck me am I going to hell.
So you are like the 1960's Batman show?
ReplyDeleteAnd how many lives of WayneCorp employees could have been saved by proper diagnosis of disease if Honky hadn't downgraded the medical plan to buy himself a batcopter?
ReplyDeleteAre you saying Cryme Tyme wasn't forward-thinking and progressive enough for you?
ReplyDeleteVince is probably still waiting for his NAACP Image Award, dammit!
Believe me, if Vince thought he could get away with a Stepin Fetchit gimmick, he'd do it.
ReplyDeleteI have seen no evidence of Bruce Wayne downgrading the medical plan of WayneCorp. His father was a doctor and physical fitness is obviously important to him, so I doubt Bruce Wayne would see the medical care of his employees as not a priority.
ReplyDeleteSo I just went to the forums for the first time in two months. It appears to just be Rock Star Gary screaming into the wilderness.
ReplyDeleteI just go to the office Halloween thing as a handsome man each year.
ReplyDelete"Brock Lesnar's tiny brains cannot handle Roman Reigns!"
ReplyDeleteSee? NEW STAR IS BORNED
That has to be the biggest BoD flop since Meekin's daily yoga column.
ReplyDeleteBART already filling up with Giants fans on way to the parade. I'm already doing my Bruce Banner (Norton) breathing exercises to keep my anxiety under control...only 40 more minutes in this tin can!
ReplyDeleteHow did that interview go?
ReplyDeleteStill stuck in IT?
I think it went well. I won't know for sure for a couple weeks though.
ReplyDelete
