JamieStevenson Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 HHH would be seething if he went 0-4 against Taker at Mania 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Austin wasn't at Mania 2000 (main event was HHH vs Rock vs Foley vs Show). Taker doesn't have to be a heel if he really will be facing Shane. He could play the part of the guy not wanting to do it but threatened with the old 'you're fired!' schtick if he doesn't go along with it. It could be a reluctant beating he dishes out only for whatever sort of interference that happens to come along later. Still hoping though that he faces someone else. And of course, by saying Austin, I meant HHH, and was just testing...aye Yes, Rock vs HHH was pretty good, not Austin. That was around the time he was "hit by a car" and went for surgery, wasn't it?

Bambino7 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Shane O back is fucking great, I've only been dreaming of it for months Surely they can't have him fighting Taker tho. I can see Taker telling Vince to ram it next week and Vince turning on him leading to Taker for Shane against someone like that monster Whyat dude for Vince. Perhaps even the Rock V Taker if Taker accepts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 bambino7, on 24 Feb 2016 - 15:49, said:Or curve ball Taker v Stone Cold? No. I still don't see them changing the match for anyone other than Cena, and even then I don't see it. It's now a match advertised for PPV. I can't remember them every going back on that unless it's been forced. Or they've added someone to the match, rather than take someone out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 No chance this is Taker's last match. I kinda liked the idea of Taker losing on purpose or sacrificing himself for the good of the company. Most people would hate it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambino7 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Aye. Survivor Series 99 was when he was written out. Stone Cold will never wrestle again (it's been 13 years since he last did so). Retirement match in his home state? See WWE are advertising wwe raw v wwe in events after 'maina. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Retirement match in his home state? See WWE are advertising wwe raw v wwe in events after 'maina. He's already had his retirement match (although it was never advertised as such). He won't wrestle again. Also seemingly that was a typo and it's been corrected now. But it might just be them covering their tracks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Is Austin's neck still not ruined? If anything for old times sake he might come out to stunner someone, drink beer and rant down a microphone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything for old times sake he might come out to stunner someone, drink beer and rant down a microphone. I'm certain he'll be at the show but don't know if he'll have a serious role. I'd love for him to be involved though. It's clear they don't know what they're doing with the new guys anyway so might as well push the legends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Could well end up being host. Would make the most sense. He's not going to wrestle, and being in someone's corner would either lead to him just being a cheerleader, or stealing the spotlight. Have him open the show, maybe do a segment with someone later on. Job done. In fact, if Vince is at ringside (cellside) for the Taker/Shane match, have him come down at the moment that Vince is threatening to derail the match, stunner him, and then leave. Pop would be enormous. Of course it would make absolutely no sense, but who cares. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musketeer Gripweed Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Lesnar v Ambrose is face v face as well. The company really aren't getting it at the moment. Their biggest heel was getting cheered for bloodying their new biggest face the other night as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Does anyone still actually give a f**k about heel vs babyface dynamics anymore, just put two guys with momentum together and let them do their thing. This obviously in reference to Lesnar vs Ambrose, Shane vs Taker is something different altogether and I'd be amazed if Taker didn't address the bizarreness of representing McMahon before long. But in the case of Lesnar/Ambrose you can hardly say it's a case of the company not "getting it" and in any case Lesnar is hardly exhibiting the behaviour of a face anyway, what, just cos he was up against a low-blowing Undertaker a few months back? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty still do, but WWE are stuck in the past in their thinking. Just look at how all their heels have to be cowardly ones. Why can't we have a dominant heel who doesn't run away but is just a nasty b*****d (I suppose Lesnar was supposed to be this, but again showing how behind times WWE are, he was never going to get the boos)? And look at how anyone who isn't from America is given the gimmick of not being from America. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Wrestling would be nothing without the heel/face dynamic. The day that goes is the day I give up on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
