Pro Wrestling is FAKE!?!

[Roose13]

Roman, Jimmy and Jey legit made me tear up during that match. Holy shit they fucking hook-line-and-sinkered my ass.

[justinandimcool]

just looked up Uso/Reigns last night

holy shit. marked out

[dmbmuskie]

Roman, the Usos, the Fiend, and Alexa are the most compelling stuff they’ve had on tv in a while.

Vince having ANTIFA get the shit kicked out of them every Monday is great too.

[Roose13]

Yea, I just feel bad for some of those Redemption members who, thank God, they aren't using their NXT names for.

Dijakovic and Mia Yim definitely deserve better, but this is a very good way to look at it. I hope at this point they never truly reveal the members. I think Madden and Thorne have about ran their course, but Yim and Dijakovic are both talented enough to get back to NXT to finish working their way up.

I'm glad Mercedes Martinez got out of that group early. I was impressed with her ring work in the Mae Young Classic.

The Fiend had been the only thing bringing me back until Roman returned. Attaching him to Bliss, who might be my favorite WWE personality and who had been criminally underutilized with Cross, excites me even further.

Anybody else amped up about the return of Halloween Havoc?

Halloween Havoc is gonna be fun as hell.

Halloween Havoc was superb! And a very fitting relaunch of the title, similar to what NXT has done with Wargames. HH had the proper amount of great wrestling, dangerous stipulations, and spooky themed shenanigans, everything a proper Havoc should have.

And yeah, Roman Reigns is the best damn thing in wrestling this year. This is everything he has always had the potential to be and I'm so happy to see it play out.

So Roman vs. Rock at Mania? Or Roman with Heyman vs. Babyface Brock at Mania?

Roman Vs. Rock at Wrestlemania. This will be a family fight. The winner could go either way. Rock wins and snaps Roman and Jey (possibly Jimmy to) from being the heel. Or Rock can get his ass kicked by Roman and the Usos and make them the ultimate Heel stable.

[Roose13]

Now, do you make it a title match? If so, Roman is definitely winning. But if not, would taking the title off Roman (maybe Wyatt or even Big E wins it at the Rumble) kill momentum going into a fight with Rock? This is all, of course, if Hollywood even allows Rocky to have a match.

The Rock can win, but he'll win by DQ. The match can be Rock Vs. Roman, but I think we'll see run ins from Simone Johnson, Curtis Bowles, Rikishi and possibly others from the big wrestling family.

Could be all kinds of fun, get Jacob Fatu out there as well. I've seen him wrestle with APW and he has great ring presence.

That said, I think they should draw out Roman/Rock until 2022 when you can have a full live audience. Something that epic needs 75k+ people for reactions.

Lame reason to get rid of someone for speaking out like that. Jesse Ventura would be proud.

Undertaker is gonna be on Hot Ones this week!

The War Games match between Undisputed Era and The Brand (McAfee's crew) is going to be legit. Imagine your second official pro wrestling match being in War Games.

I am pretty sure War Machine's first match was in War Games.

Nah, they were in NXT for about 7 months and a ton of matches, including several TV matches, before then.

Any rumors or any chance The Rock shows up at Survivor Series?

Crash, was Taker doing Survivor Series the plan all along when doing the doc?

[Klize17]

The fake crowd noise is rookie level bad during this Taker farewell. Embarrassing

[Roose13]

Fantastic ending to a storied career. Deserved a live crowd, but it felt complete. Thank you for about 25 years worth of memories for this wrestling fan (yes, I know it's 30). Taker will always be my all-time favorite.

It really seems like WWE has peaked on their SD vs. RAW approach to Survivor Series. Adding NXT last year shook things up, but I think we have hit the end of the road on this concept. It doesn't help that they usually do a draft or shake-up literally right beforehand.

[Roose13]

This year was a little different for COVID-19 reasons. Less matches so they didn't have too much cross exposing between brands. Adding NXT again would have complicated it. That's why we got the three main title matches, two 5v5 matches and the 20-man battle royal on the preshow.

[BotheLaneFan]

Having a draft RIGHT BEFORE Survivor Series hurts it so much too. They should have it after the draft, and allow Sole Survivors free agency or determine draft order with it or something.

Insert writer getting thrown out the window for a smart idea meme.

This makes entirely too much sense.
