Just watching the start of Fastlane, only caught the last hour of it last night after work. Did i miss the point when they stopped the MITB contract only being for a year? thought it was abit close to Mania for Rollins to still have it.

Wrestlemania X7 (2001) is considered pretty much the pinnacle. Early 2001 is pretty great in terms of a mix of great workers like Benoit, Jericho etc., floating around as well as top main event guys.

But really depends on what you like.

What Shola said really. Royal Rumble 2001 was pretty good and anything from around 1999-2001 that involved the Hardys, Dudleys and Edge & Christian is worth a watch.

Just watch all the PPV's between 2000 and 2002. You shan't be disappointed, or at least, I hope not.


Will do got them added to the watch list

He won it Money in the Bank, not Mania, so he's got 4 months left.

I assume the plan is to screw Reigns out of the belt, to keep Reigns run short but still look strong.

Mania is looking really bad on paper.

Lesnar v Reigns - Could be quite good, but wont me main event Mania standard
Taker v Wyatt - Gonna be limited
Cena v Rusev - Limited
Sting v Triple H - 15 years ago, aye
-----------------------------------------
Rollins v Orton - Could be very good but will probably just be a side event
Likewise Ambrose, Ziggler and Bryan probably won't have hot programs
------------------------------------------
Battle Royal is Battle Roal
Divas Match will probs be 2 minutes
Uso's v Cesaro/Kidd again probably no heat.

Rollins has to save the title match and cash his money in the bank in. He'll get beat by orton and cash it in

Taker vs Wyatt is going to be one hell of an awkward match to book... They have to have both wrestlers come out strong, and Wyatt has to come out of it as a WWE Title contender. They cant make Taker loose again as that would be complete suicide and would go against all them years of the streak having him lose two years on the bounce. But they also can't bury Wyatt again. Either a big bump will incapacitate them both to where the match has no result, or this which is just me daydreaming here because we know that creative would never go for this - Taker will win and drag Wyatt off the screens for a few months, possibly emerging darker than before, or maybe under Takers control with him as his Manager? I might have said that before in this thread, but it'd be a dream and story lines to go with it would be unbelievable.

There is a real lack of top talent nowadays. The fact they keep bringing back Undertaker every year just for Wrestlemania highlights that. I honestly hope this is his last appearence, although coming back as a manager like Deano said could be good.

I think they've got the talent, it's just not being utilized very well.

In Ambrose, Ziggler, Reigns, Rollins, Cesaro, Bryan, Rusev and Wyatt they certainly have enough fresh main event talent. Just need to book it as such. Hoping that if Lesnar goes, and Cena continues to step out of the limelight, then maybe...

Yeah it'll be great seeing a 60 year old man hobbling around ringside with his gimped knees.

Make it a casket match, Wyatt sends Taker out of limbo like he has been saying and Taker avoids a pinfall loss. I think they will go this way anyways with all the use of caskets lately. Much easier to emerge from a casket then a pinfall loss, he has made a career out of that and buried alive matches, don't actually think he has won one of them.

Gah, watch some 80's NWA, really fucking violent.

And TLC has nothing on a Scaffold Match (Starrcade '86), actually looks like there is the very possible chance of death... And Cornette cripples himself.

Did you ever see CZW? That was brutal at times. I seem to remember one guy getting hit with a strimmer.

CZW is nuts, there is a match I watched the other day between Sami Callihan and Adam Cole, glass everywhere even a switchblade got used. Fucking insane. Anyways Callihan is in NXT now as Solomon Crowe.

Vinces hard on for Reigns has fucked the card up so much. Reigns is no were near over to be in a WM main event, let alone win it. He could of been a huge star but they strapped the rockets to him to soon and have fucked him over. Also imagine how much shitter the build would be without Heyman?

Heyman is God.

They're not even letting Reigns and Brock face off in the ring for a build up to main event to WM, purely because they know Brock will get the better reaction.

Repeatedly beating Big Show and Mark Henry isn't gonna help Reigns
