Quentin Taranbino Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 The script for Raw on Monday was leaked online. Very interesting read, especially the list of baby faces and heels in order of preference. Poor JTG at the bottom. Also interesting to note that a certain NXT star appears on the list that hasn't appeared at all so far. Note - it also has a checklist of stuff that must be done/mentioned to build extreme rules matches, so there is match spoilers there if that sort of stuff bothers you. http://m.imgur.com/a/u9Xj3# 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has him listed as injured. I'm not saying he's coming back as I think they would have done it by now if he was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he's coming back as I think they would have done it by now if he was. Im sure I read initially that Punk was contracted to June so perhaps he is still 'officially' part of the roster until his contract expires? That's how I read it anyway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I had no idea Curt Hawkins was still employed by WWE. I thought he was released years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 "Let's all do the Fandango!" That's when Fandango was fucked. It was a silly gimmick that never had any chance of being long term or even getting over, but the organic fan reaction to it was tremendous. Sadly WWE jumped on the bandwagon and ruined it completely due to how out of touch they are. They seem to believe that they are cool and cutting edge when in fact they are nothing of the sort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fony Titz Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Doubt Cena will ever turn heel, he does far too much 'good story' stuff for the WWE with Make-A-Wish, the Military and the younger fans for them to risk all that and have him turn full heel. Hope Cesaro gets treated for the superb wrestler he actually is. They seem tempted to go down the 'look he can lift big fat c***s!' route at the moment and it sells him way short. Technically he is a fantastic wrestler (his 2/3 falls match against Sami Zayn is still my match of the year) and I hope they actually show this soon. In the past Hogan and even Bret Hart to a lesser extent turned heal when they had been examples of being the good guys who live their lives properly, it will happen to Cena, but he probably has a while yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Even if they did turn Cena heel he'd still get the mixed reaction. Those booing him now would cheer to be cool and like the bad guy and the kids who love him would boo like f**k. It seems like it would be a lot of fucking about and hassle on WWE's part to do the turn which would also probably see a drop in merch sales. I don't see it happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Closest I can see is cena getting beat by wyatt, having a flirt with a heel turn then beat him in the third and final match between the two. Before reverting back to face 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly WWE jumped on the bandwagon and ruined it completely due to how out of touch they are. They seem to believe that they are cool and cutting edge when in fact they are nothing of the sort. Agree 100%. I remember cringing heavily when Lawler came into the ring the week after the first "fandangoing" and, iirc, grabbed a mic and started asking the fans to "do the fandango!" If they had handled it with more subtlety (or even with a bit more common sense - Fandango, as a heel, telling people to stop doing the Fandango the next week would have been more logical than Lawler going "WEEP WOOP HEY WWE UNIVERSE LOOK AT THIS COOL FANDANGO THING FROM LAST WEEK! DO IT NOW!") then he might have stood a chance, but alas the WWE prefer to do everything with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer to the face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 To be prefectly honest the Fandango has been red rotten from the start. A ballroom dancer? I thought it was the reality era? A ballroom dancer? Seriously? FWIW Johnny Curtis was still due a tag title match after his stint on nXt. He was nXt about 3 years ago was supposed to get a tag title shot with his pro R-Truth. Poor Fandango is still waiting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 With Heyman revelling in the fact that Lesnar broke the streak on Smackdown and Taker's prolonged disappearance and ignoring the whole Sting debacle, is it possible they're setting up next years Mania with Taker and Lesnar? Taker's never beaten Lesnar, he no longer has the streak and Lesnar would be the overwhelming favourite which is the first time ever that Taker's been the underdog at Mania. Build Lesnar as a wrecking machine for a year, Taker wants his rematch and it's the perfect swansong for Taker to bow out on? Just a though, and you've obviously got to take away the lack of quality a Taker/Lesnar match really offers as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 As I've said before, there's absolutely no point in Taker at Mania anymore. The streak is gone, forget any match with Sting or Lesnar or WHOEVER. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Taker should only make guest appearances now, unfortunately he isn't really 'mic friendly' like others so not sure how it would fit (Wyatt hook up perhaps?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would only really work if they 'humanise' the character again so he can speak freely a bit like the ABA days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
