Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I like Batista's new beard

People said Mason Ryan, when he first debuted, looked a lot like Batista. I swear they can be twins now with Batista's new beard..
 
Speaking of which... Mason Ryan actually just got released.
 
Any word on Bryan's neck? Is it legit? When did it happen?



I assumed that they taped NXT weekly like Main Event, Superstars and Smackdown

Looks like Bryan could be out until Summerslam (it is a broken neck but only minor surgery apparently) but they won't know for sure until they do the surgery.
 
I imagine if he can come back in a few months, they'll keep the strap on him. If they deem is\t longer after surgery, they'll probably have to strip him. Going to be some interesting book over the next few months regardless.
 
Idk how they can afford to lose the champion for a few months. They have done such a poor job booking their secondary belts over the last few years that they can't stand on those belts alone. Bray and Cena should be coming to a close soon. The Shield Evolution is hot but Batista won't be around much longer. Lesnar has only been seen once since WM30. WWE needs something major for the Main Event scene if the belt isn't going to be seen for 2+ PPVs.
 
They're saying 6-8 weeks right now. He'd miss 1 PPV, and he'd still be able to be on TV. If it's longer than that, he'll get stripped.
 
Not that many of these factors can be helped, but man... between the neck injury, his honeymoon, his father passing away, and some pretty awful acting/booking in his feud with Kane... Bryan's reign as WWE World Heavyweight Champion has been a bust of epic proportions.

I think only missing one PPV and a month to a month and a half is acceptable, but anything longer and he needs to be stripped of the titles. WWE can't be relying on only mid card belts and stale feuds, even though the title holder's are now much more respectable in Sheamus and Barrett, but as already mentioned those belts haven't been booked strong enough for some time now.

My solution: PUSH ZIGGLER :thumbup:

Edit: The stale feuds I'm refering to would be Cena-Wyatt, Evolution-Shield has been great and is fine for the next few weeks leading up to Payback, but it needs to wrap up that night or shortly after that.
 
More Ziggler is ALWAYS the best answer. More Barrett. More Bray less Cena and kids.
 
There's a place in Kent called Twisted Meltz. They have a sandwich called the Dolph Ziggler. I don't even like what's on it, but I order it anyways.

Disagree completely.

Bray/Cena and HHH/Reigns can carry the Summer.

HHH/Reigns... maybe

Bray/Cena though? That feud initially started back in January, and Payback will be their 3rd straight PPV match against each other. You really want to see more of those two?

It's been poor booking since he won the title. Nobody wanted to see him wrestle Kane twice. The extreme rules win was enough and it should have been over at that point. The problem is Bryan already beat Orton how many times leading up to the title. Batista is about to leave, so that would be an odd booking and the crowd would boo the shit out of that selection. Unless they booked HHH, who else do they have as a top heel in the company right now? Lesnar is part time and on limited gigs.

More Ziggler is ALWAYS the best answer. More Barrett. More Bray less Cena and kids.

Love Bray outside of the ring, but can't stand watching Husky Harris try to wrestle. I like Ziggler, but making him jump up the card that quick makes no sense.

HHH/Reigns... maybe

I'd rather see Lesnar Vs. Reigns

Bray/Cena though? That feud initially started back in January, and Payback will be their 3rd straight PPV match against each other. You really want to see more of those two?

I want to see less of both.

They're saying 6-8 weeks right now. He'd miss 1 PPV, and he'd still be able to be on TV. If it's longer than that, he'll get stripped.

So have a number one's contender match at Payback.
