Any Pro Wrestling Fans in the Audience? (Multiple promotions) (Part 2)

My main complaint with Triple H’s booking style is that the pace is absolutely glacial. Not every storyline needs to be a multi-year epic. There’s no reason for Sheamus to have been chasing the Intercontinental title for this long, for instance. I want to see him win it and have it be a big moment too, but it could have easily been wrapped up 6-9 months ago and have been as satisfactory.

In other news, Triple H announced two new championships for WWE Evolve today, bringing the number of titles sponsored by WWE up to an eye-popping 21. That’s WAY too many belts.

Ricky Starks is now Ricky Saints. I wish he could’ve just kept his name, but this isn’t bad at least. He’s still scheduled to defend the DEFY championship next month, so I guess Hunter is letting him finish out his commitments in the indies.

NXT Champion Oba Femi and TNA X Division Champion Moose will meet on March 25’s Roadblock event with both titles on the line.

The Hardys are now in NXT via TNA.

John Cena’s music played during the Elimination Chamber participants’ showdown on SmackDown - and it was Logan Paul.

HA! He got me!

Carmelo Hayes took advantage of some New Bloodline interference to do the classic Eddie Guerrero with a chair move for a DQ win over Braun Strowman.

While I hate to say this, CM Punk was right. Paul’s schtick during this was lame. He seemed lost.

Christ on a stick. After that tournament, we just get LA Knight vs. Shinsuke Nakamura again.

Now, I really want a Tiffany Stratton-Chelsea Green feud.

Maybe it’s me but, The Rock and his ridiculous “Final Boss” schtick has jumped the shark.

HOLY SHIT Jade Cargill comes out and beats the shit out of Naomi!

Who didn’t see that coming…besides everyone. Only question was “when?”.

RANDY ORTON! Oh boy!

I’m going to be honest; I’ll be pissed if John Cena wins the Elimination Chamber. He put himself in without a qualifying match and hasn’t even been seen since the Royal Rumble. He hasn’t even been seen tonight yet backstage!

LOLCENAWINS

Rollins screwed Punk.

“Hey, Rock… GO FUCK YOURSELF!”

And it was uncensored.

Oh my God! CENA HEEL TURN!

Iyo Sky wins the Women’s World Title! I did not see that coming!

What’s everyone’s opinion on the Cena heel turn on Saturday? I take it back; I am now excited for that main event.

If I may attempt some speculative long-term booking;

  • Cena beats Cody due to interference from Dwayne
  • Logan Paul wins MITB
  • Roman beats Cena at Summerslam but Logan cashes in and takes the belt
  • Cody and Roman are co-winners of the next Royal Rumble
  • Dwayne invokes his rematch clause that he never cashed in after Wrestlemania 29
  • The main event of WM 42 is a four-way match between Cody, Roman, Dwayne, and Paul

I’d have Cena win the title. At Summerslam Cena gets knocked out after winning his match against Cody or Punk. Have the MITB winner then enter the ring, hand the contract over to ancient Ric Flair, who then regains the title and the record. Flair then immediately retires and vacates the belt.

Any fantasy booking that puts a World title on LP should be thrown into a distant star so that even its cosmic ashes never again taint this earth.

My take on Iyo winning is that, given her booking, she is not a WM main event. Rhea will still somehow be in the mix. They need Rhea and Bianca to carry the talking parts for the next 7 weeks. Bianca will be heel when it comes out both her and Naomi were behind Jade’s beat down.

I’m not crazy about it either, but it’d get ratings.
