Rock to lead out a reformed Nation to whup DX.

Stereomaniac · 21-07-2012, 09:34

Hmm, WWE would skirt around what happened the last time Mark Henry and The Rock met!

naitsirhc · 21-07-2012, 13:37

Undertaker is confirmed apparently. So they must want him to work Summerslam. My question would be who the hell (pardon the pun) is he gonna face?
If Wade Barret makes a surprise return then I'd love to see a feud start with the two of them Monday night.
I'd love if the "Major Angle" planned is a Cena/Punk/Rock feud for SS...and Cena becoming an afterthought

Would love a Kai Entai reunion, Gangrel, The Godfather and Steve Blackman.

Indeed!

I'd love to see them back for a one-off, they were pretty funny.

Lets hope Big Show doesn't call them goofs again.

The Brood to come out in matching attire with that badass song would be cool.

I'd like to see a tribute video for all* wrestlers who appeared on RAW and have sinced passed away.

*Including Benoit as it has since been established that it was years of undiagnosed concussions that made him go crazy.

"Here is your WWF Hardcore Champion, The Lethal Weapon.. STEVE BLACKMANNNNNNNN"

I think that Blackman video is a good example of something that's missing in today's WWE. I mean, you can see him sparring and training in a dojo, and in about two shots, you get a snippet of what his personality is, and what he does.

Fast forward to today, how many mid-carders, Jesus, even main-eventers, have a TT-video that consist of random Photoshop titles and generic ring-footage?

It was a shortcut in getting a personality over, but it was effective, no?

Entrance music was so much better too. Apart from the old timers like Triple H they mostly sound the same nowadays. Back then everyone had a unique theme and who didn't love Ken Shamrock's or Gangrel's for example? Both were mostly midcarders but you knew right away who it was. Can't say the same today.

When I watch old Royal Rumbles, when the countdown starts I close my eyes and try to see if I can remember who the wrestler is by their entrance music

Stereomaniac · 21-07-2012, 18:09

When I watch old Royal Rumbles I sometimes have to stop myself from guessing who it is before the music even starts. The shocking thing is that in a few of the years I get most right.

tbh the choices of future opponents for Taker is limited, as his body has alot of miles and the clock, and there's not that many he'd trust in a match.
Everyone is talking about his opponents for WM29/WM30, but I think that he will bow out at Survivor Series, with the whole "where it all began" thing, and he can put someone else over without losing The Streak.
And Monday night or at Summerslam he can sow the seeds, probably against either Cena, or more likely Kane (with Kane winning with a tombstone).

Id say Taker is just making a one night only appearance to be honest and then wont be back till Wrestlemania season.

That sounds like a good drinking game to play with mates! Get it right, take a shot. Get it wrong, take 2 shots

Royal Rumble 2012 would've lead to an onslaught of alcohol-poisoning.

'Oh! It's Lawler, there's gonna be a name soon'

'Who?'

'ANYONE!'

-Cue Michael Cole-

'I think I'm gonna die'
