That better make the greatest SD moments of all time top 5 ) tear in my eye
Strong reports of Godlberg very close to signing again with the WWE. Finally a bit more excitement since the Brock Lesnar return.
Finally a dream triple threat match of Brock, Goldberg and Batista may just happen
Batista wasn't happy about how his most recent run ended so that's highly unlikely plus his hollywood career has taken off and he's pretty busy, Lesnar v Goldberg 2 will most definitely happen though...

IMO WWE got it completely wrong. Batista should not have been booked to win the Royal Rumble. One of The biggest mistakes WWE creative made since its inception. It pretty much ruined two excellent characters in Roman Reigns and Batista.
Just imagine if Roman Reigns won the Royal Rumble that year, he would not have been boeed because he gave the crowed what they would have wanted at the right time. Batista should have been there in the Rumble till the end with D Bryan and actually being eliminated by him or Reigns. Although there are mere speculations now when we look back at it, but that RR was certainly one of the biggest turning points in WWE History of who will get over with the fans and who will never be over
I don't think Reigns not winning that Rumble where Batsita won was a big problem, what messed up his perception was including Daniel Bryan in the Royal Rumble the following year. WWE had no intention of having Bryan win so it defeated the purpose of including him especially after how hostile the fans became the previous year.
Reigns is a performer who has significantly improved all round now, assuming he did win the one where Batista won am not sure his place at the top would have been well received in the long run because the guy was still green in the ring and not ready at all, the only reason the fans got behind Reigns in that Rumble where Batista won was because he was the last option/alternative they would have went nuts for Santino Marella if he was amongst the final two nothing suggested they'd get behind him as a baby face in the same way they got behind Bryan.
So I think the biggest blunder was including Daniel Bryan in the Royal Rumble which was won by Reigns. Speaking of running excellent Characters, Batista is one of the greatest stars from the Ruthless Aggression era and that wasn't ruined, WWE made the big mistake of having him return as a babyface something which Batista strongly disagreed with and Vince learned the hard way that he got it wrong and Batista did eventually turn heel and did some excellent character work. On top of that Batista was promised a world title run which he never received from Vince and in general everything just left a sour taste for him, Vince also expected Guardians of the Galaxy to flop so perhaps he'd have treated Batista better if he knew he'd go onto become a Hollywood success.
Upon Batista's return in that year, I'd have had him comeback as a heel and protected him in terms of not having him lose so often. As he was promised a title run, I'd have Randy Orton drop the belt to a transitional champion who gives the belt up to Batista, then at Wrestlemania we still get the triple threat featuring Batista, Orton and Bryan but with Batista as the world champion who puts Bryan over and after that we could still have the Evolution reunion to feud with The Shield.
Batista is still bitter at the moment and as his hollywood career has taken off I doubt we will see him return to the WWE anytime soon, maybe there is mini run left in him but am not sure about it plus the guy is really old and even in his prime when he became champion he was a late bloomer. Batista for me was a huge star during the RA era, I'd rather not see him in an enforcer role that would be an insult to him imo it's what he made his debut with as Enforcer for D-Von Dudley; it's worth him coming back for a big match, like you say Batista v Rock could be decent but like I said his movie career has taken off and he's very old as well, also doesn't help how he wasn't treated right during his comeback
What do you think about how WWE will book Brock v Goldberg II?
I personally think WWE should not throw these two in a match straight away. GB should return at survivor series maintaining the tradition of huge surprises at SS. However WWE will be stupid to throw him right back at brock. It will make no booking sense. Brock should completely squash Goldberg if this is the case.
Goldberg hasnt wrestled for over a decade whereas Brock has becoming the most physically powerful man in the world since then. I dont understand why GB is giving all of these cocky interviews about brock when he hasnt even signed a contract yet with WWE?
Looking forward to No Mercy tonight. Ziggler vs Miz and the triple threat will be good matches I think
Is it on sky sports or PPV?
Is it on sky sports or PPV?
Sky box office
Goldberg vs Brock. Cannot think of a dream match which is gonna disappoint more. This is gonna disappoint more than their Wrestlemania 20 dud. Warrior vs Hogan Halloween Havoc 98 Redux?
Don't watch on sky box office, sign up to the WWE Network online and get a month free no contract comittments but if you wish to continue after the months its £9.99 which is cheaper then what sky box office ask you to pay. You can watch the PPV online, on tablet, PS4, PC, Laptop etc in great quality that way and all the other content and old archive footage, RAW shows and PPV's.
Have you got WWE network
I did for SummerSlam but not getting it for No Mercy because I can't watch it live as I have a 9am lecture on a Monday Morning otherwise really wanted to watch that PPV, Ziggie/Mizz is feud of the year and that triple threat has been built up amazingly well really looking forward to those matches
Damm unlucky bro. I'm watching it tommorow morning before work can't wait.
Ziggler vs Miz is hard to call tbh. Styles will win the triple threat.
Get the network mate, it's a steal first month free anyway. Yeah it is but I feel like The Mizz has the momentum and can't lose but whatever happens it will be an interesting angle moving forward either way but I reckon Ziggie loses, there are some rumours that he could be moving to an agent role in the WWE so this career angle could be a worked shoot :/ would be sad to see him go but anyhow it will be an interesting couple of months coming up, the feud has been amazing. Styles should win but never bet against Chenaah in a championship match!
Why is ziggler going to take an agent role? He still has plenty to offer WWE. Be interesting to see who mizs next opponent will be.
Big match John doesn't seem to be winning the big matches recently.
Maybe is jaded, has been working for WWE a long time; he's in a good spot still but not in the main-event, however that can change on SD given that there are not many big names at the top of the card besides 3. That is rumour and I expect Ziggie to extend his feud with Mizz, it won't end at No Mercy.
He hasn't but he's still JOOOOOOHHN CEEEENAAAAAAAAA!
He isn't winning tonight as you have just put that the triple threat is the 1st match. Vince wouldn't want Cena to win his 16th reign in the 1st match of the night ).
Cena is going to win the title no doubt about that. Just a question of when vince will pull the trigger and where he will do it. Could be Wrestlemania. Heard AJ is gonna get a long run. Think cena will beat aj to win his 16th reign.
You never know with Vinny Mac it doesn't matter, more people will tune in the first hour then the others due to competition and also pre-announcement of the 1st match
Or AJ Styles will drop the belt to Undertaker (who will be keen to wrestle Styles if he is still interested in being a pro-wrestlee these days....feel like Vinny forces him to get out of bed at 6am on a Monday once a year for WM, Taker is fed up) and then Cena beats Taker for the 16th at WM
And they say vinnie Mac is stupid.
Don't think taker vs styles would be that great tbh, ajs high flying movements don't really suit a slowish undertaker. Cena vs taker is fine. Heard aj might face randy orton.
Only morons call him stupid, Vince is a shrewd booker
You obviously havent grasped the greatness in AJ styles skill set who is more then just a spot monkey or high flyer, he's an adaptable in ring general who'd carry taker to an excellent match even at his age in fact AJ is the type of opponent Taker would be best paired with out of everyone on the roster he'd make his life easier in the ring. Reigns had his best matches with AJ, only casuals felt it would be a mis match they just dont get...it.
He probably will face him at some point and Bray Wyatt to, the Roster at the top is thin
Its not aj I would be worried about its Taker . Don't know if he has it in him to keep up with AJ. He's still in good shape so let's see. Reigns vs AJ Styles was a decent feud tbh, just shouldn't have involved the club too much.
Be interesting to see which NXT superstars are called up and to which brand. Also heard Shelton Benjamin may return next year. Him vs AJ would be brilliant to watch
It's not happening is it?
It is happening brother dude jack!
Yes yes Goldberg deceived us with that interview )
which is exactly why AJ Styles would take good care of a fragile Taker! it's not about Taker keeping up pace, it's about having an entertaining match and taking care of your opponent in the ring which is the essence of in-ring work. You kids these days! pace you know ) the likes of Buddy Rogers, Eddie Gurrero, Bob Bauklund and Randy Savage must be rolling in there graves, wrestling isn't all about non-stop high octane action or keeping up with the "pace" it's about controlling the pace, playing off the crowd, selling, telling a story in the ring, adjusting to your opponents strengths/weaknesses and getting the audience emotionally invested in a match without trying to kill yourself or your opponent. It's for these reasons Taker has requested to work with the likes of Daniel Bryan and CM Punk in the past because technicians make your life so much easier and have the ability to have a solid match, Styles is more then just a spot monkey as far as his in-ring work is concerned he's amongst the best and is incredibly versatile and similar to Shawn.
Anyway Ziggie/Mizz stole the show, incredible match and feud, everyone from creative to the wrestlers themselves deserve credit
only the casual fans out of touch like you, go back to watching TNA bruh
Never watched TNA bro always been with wwe.
Stop lying. You're also a closet Ahmed Shehzad fan, being a fan of him and TNA go hand in hand
I don't mind slower matches but I thought AJ is better suited to quicker paced matches. Would be interesting to see him vs Taker but don't see it happening. Think he will face John Cena.
Don't think it's the end of the fued.wouldn't be suprised if there was another match.
Nah not a fan of Shehzad or TNA. You have the wrong person brother
AJ can work all paces and styles in same manner Shawn was able to, his size is deceiving but look at him as a specialist in-ring general. It's not about the pace of a match it's about controlling it. In the past Taker has requested to work with Punk and Bryan at mania because he knew they'd make his life easier. Yeah at the moment Cena/Taker and Cena/AJ 3 are the likely matches at mania (if this don't happen before WM it will happen before the PPV as AJ/Cena are not done), if Cena/Taker wrestle them am guessing AJ's opponent at mania will be Randy Orton which is another dream match
I can't wait for his music to hit next week
AJ us a fantastic wrestler. Wwe did well to get him tbh. Hopefully they book him well. I was worried when dean and cena made him tap at no mercy. I thought it would be a battle between dean and cena than .
Randy vs AJ would be brilliant, think it might happen earlier than Wrestlemania. I wouldn't mind a card like this
Seth vs triple h
Finn balor vs ko
AJ vs Shelton Benjamin
Taker vs Cena
Samo joe vs Lesnar
Benjamin was supposed to return to the WWE, that guy was incredible in the ring just loved watching him go.
This would be mine as far as the main matches are concerned
Goldberg vs Undertaker
AJ v Cena 3 world title
Joe v Lesnar
Dean Ambrose v Bray Wyatt v Orton v Mizz v Ziggler v Benjamin 6 man Ladder match for the IC title
Heel KO v a baby face Jericho world title, storyline would be amazing and the two have great chemistry
Seth v HHH
Balor is still injured not sure when he will be available
But obviously certain matches we need to balance things out like can't always have to guys wrestle who are ring rusty so I'd have Cena/Taker and Goldberg/Styles or Styles/Taker and Goldberg/Cena, but Lesnar needs an opponent and Joe may not be moving up from NXT then it would have to be Cena/Taker, Styles/Lesnar and Goldberg/Randy-Orton
Apparently Shelton is returning early next year. He had some classic matches with Shawn so that shows he can compete with the best .
Not sure on Goldberg vs Taker tbh. Wish it had happened in Goldberg original wwe run.
Jericho is better as a heel but would be good for ko to win a main event match at Wrestlemania. Been a fan of KO is since day one.
Don't see Goldberg facing styles as it seems as though Goldberg is a raw superstar with drafts.
Well Joe has been on NXT for a long time, surely by next year he will be on the main roster.
Goldberg vs Orton would be good but depends on weather or not Goldberg will have a certain show which he's on or if he's allowed to free roam.
Good god almighty! the prodigal son RETURNS to bury The BROID! [MENTION=47617]Red Devil[/MENTION] [MENTION=136193]Adil_94[/MENTION]
GOLDBERG! GOLDBERG! GOLDBERG! GOLDBERG! GOLDBERG!
Big question is, who's going over? Lesnar or Goldberg?
It will be Lesnar as he is the most protected star since Andre the Giant because of his drawing power and how big his star has grown since his initial run in the WWE. But in the confines of the WWE world the likes of Taker and Goldberg have the legitimacy to be competitive in the ring or even go over although it would be dirty.
His return was announced few months ago but then he got injured. Not sure if he can perform at the level he once did though. Goldberg is on neither RAW or SD so if they like he could face someone like Styles. Yeah that's the only issue the age of both men otherwise it would be an amazing dream match Taker/Goldberg.
Jericho is a great heel but in his current gimmick he could easily turn face because the crowd are always chanting for him because he has reminded them once again why we love him so much with his most recent run.
Joe has been in NXT long because that's what he prefers and doesn't enjoy life on the rope or the intense WWE schdule and at his age likes to relax a bit, that's not saying he won't move up but I have doubts about it and the other thing, HHH likes to keep certain talent exclusive to NXT because the brand is still a draw on the Network and they are sought of in the rebuilding phase after many of their wrestlers gaining promotions to the main roster.
It would be a great match, Orton would carry him and do the job as well because Goldberg would probably want his kid to see him win and someone like Orton doesn't have an ego and is a big name so it all works. People think it's easy to get these names to return and they will complain about booking but they don't understand the extent of negotiations, all things come in not just pay but creative as well.
I'm delighted with Goldberg coming back as I'm a big fan of his but I don't want to see him up against Lesnar. I don't care what anyone says but for me Lesnar is the most boring wrestler atm. I'm sick and bored of his two moves of doom. All his matches follow the same pattern. That's where WWE made a big mistake by presenting him as this unstoppable monster. It was fun at first but it got boring very quickly. I don't want him dominating Goldberg as Goldberg himself is a monster. And given how poor there last match was when Lesnar was a proper wrestler, I have no hope for their rematch to be any better given that Lesnar only does two moves these days. I wanna see Goldberg against Triple H or John Cena. I won't mind a Goldberg Taker match at Mania either but please no Goldberg Lesnar.
That's how Lesnar matches are booked, it doesn't define whether he is a good wrestler or a boring one when he is portraying an unstoppable beast gimmick after winning the UFC title and ending the streak, if Vince wanted him to be a technical wizzard from 2000's Lesnar is capablen of that to, we're talking about a freak here who is also a freestyle wrestling champ. But Lesnar remains over with fans so why change things up when Vince can prolong his future by having him take fewer bumps. HHH does more then 2 moves and still couldn't get the crowd to react in his match with Roman.
Lesnar will not be allowed to squash Goldberg, this is Goldberg we are talking about. Lesnar v Goldberg wasnt great mainly because Lesnar was trolling the fans who were booing him and Goldberg for leaving, he didn't go through the agreed spots and took the mick.
Don't wanna see HHH tried to use his shovel against Goldberg again and have another awful match with him in the process, dude bores me to death and his in-ring work is so desperate and forcefull, no flow to it. It is good that Seth Rollins will face him at mania so we can get a passable match out of Hunter
I know HHH is politician but that doesn't take away from the fact that he is a very good wrestler. I hope we get a Taker Goldberg match at Mania. That's what I want.
Only the casual fans out of touch like you, go back to watching tna bruh
brother bear i knew you would come. I will delete you and render you obsolete!
[MENTION=47617]Red Devil[/MENTION] would be epic if Goldberg don't show up on RAW next week but Ryback returns repackaged as Goldberg ) )
Or better yet, Gilberg shows up instead. ) )
TNA might be getting purchased by WWE soon, I'm hearing. I was a big TNA fan between 2005-09 when they were quite decent. But in recent years, they have been awful and they deserve it. I don't feel bad for them should that happen.

Over the past couple of years their product has improved significantly but the overall perception has been damaged beyond repair but gems like the stuff they've been doing with their women, x-division, main-event scene, creative video montages, matt hardy's character and cinematic take on pro-wrestling have all been positives. Their library will be purchased by the WWE and the company will be rebranded so TNA is pretty much dead
It's not a character, you obsolete mule! You have been targetted for deletion, Brother Bear.
Senor Benjamin! Prepare the battlefield for MASSACRE!

Am not sure if any of you picked up on this but during Styles/Ellsworth on SD this week, James looked incredibly awkward while taking the styles clash. When I watched thr footage again, saw that James was tucking his head! You're not meant to tuck your head while taking the Styles clash, it could have resulted in a career ending injury!
On the last second, AJ Styles saw that James was tucking his head and he'd let go ensuring that James didn't absorb the full impact of the Styles Clash and then he looked over immediately to see if he was okay
[MENTION=47617]Red Devil[/MENTION] [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION]
Just further reiterates how good AJ is and we should thank him for saving a future hall of famer!
Elsworth is a real idiot. don't know what he was thinking
Only one thing to say.....
...GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLDBEEERG GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLDBEEEERG GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLDBERG
Bloody hell bro did you just find out ) You missed all our excited posts
Me and baby/Queen [MENTION=95766]leatherface58[/MENTION] (not a big fan of Goldberg)
That was pretty reckless, it's just common sense now that you need to tuck your head/neck in while taking the clash. Watch the clip slowly and pay attention to how AJ Styles lands on his left leg so James doesn't have to take the full force of the blow had he dropped on both legs like he normally does [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION]:
Watch from 1:12 - 1:13 and keep pausing to see how AJ's right leg/hand stabilises the situation by remaining grounded:
Elsworth is really lucky AJ noticed that lmao ) am surprised he managed to it's really difficult in that blind spot, luckiest jobber alive.
AJ is an absolute pro. Hell, if he wants, he can actually have a proper wrestling match with James Ellsworth and make him look credible. Not that Ellsworth is a bad wrestler but AJ might even make it seem like James got some credible offense in.
A complete and total pro and he is doing great mic work too.
