Did I read the dirtsheets right? Reigns is champ?

 

indeed! He beat Sheamus with a spear. This is after interference from the League and from VKM himself. There was a stipulation where if he loses, he is out the WWE and WWE invested too much into him to let him go, so I figured he'd be champ. Still a great match though the Wyatt/Dudley match was MOTN though. The ECW chants brought me back.

With Wrestlemania around the corner, I wonder why the jumped the gun?

I'm betting they're shaking things up because of ratings. Apparently Raw has had some pretty low ratings lately. And since titles usually only change at PPVs most raws become meaningless. Shaking things up and bringing a face to the title is probably for the best. The Daniel Bryan getting tortured angle didn't really fly with Reigns, so hopefully a defiant champ fighing everything will be a better angle. 

Plus Cena is gone and they need a face really bad.



Go, go, Asuka.  Should be a good match with Emma, I think, though it's obviously going to have outside involvement with what's her name.

Also, she collects Amiibo.  I don't know how to feel about that.

I think Ziggler is near the end of his stint in WWE so they arent even putting him in the kickoff show.

Bodes well for Tyler Breeze.......who seems to be filling the shoes that Ziggler once had.

I hope not and that it was because they just didn't have anything really for him to do at TLC. Ziggler is one of the best in-ring performers the WWE has. He and Ambrose have been putting on some great matches lately. With Bryan, Rollins, and Cesaro gone, the WWE is short on good workers.



wait, Cesaro is gone, too?  I thought I noticed a distinct lack of his awesomeness. 

Bryan, Rollins, Cesaro, Orton...four of my favorites all out right now.  And Cena is out too, which is a huge blow regardless of what you think of his skills.

So, best match you've seen this year?

I'm staying with Nakamura vs. Ibushi but Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch is a personal favorite.

God, I miss Sasha.



Sasha Banks is the most beautiful of God's creations. I wouldn't even date her because I'd only hold her back. Such a joy to watch, though.

I would have to go with Ishii vs Honma for the NEVER open weight championship.  Man, that match was brutal and full of drama.

That the one with Honma's diving headbutt to the outside?  Excellent strong-style match.  Honma is fantastic and bumps so hard that I think he might be off in the head.

Wrestle Kingdom 10 is here.  Ishii vs. Shibata is going to be great, though I doubt it beats their classic from the G1 where they stiffed each other into hell.  Who knows, though, as Shibata said this at the press conference:  "Happy new year. I don't have anything to say, really. But I'm ready to lose a few years off my life tomorrow."

Omega vs. Kushida should be really good, unless it turns into a Bullet Club circus.

I'm betting Makabe & Honma beat Anderson & Gallows for the tag belts.  Honestly, I like Anderson a lot but Gallows does nothing for me.

Goto vs Naito.  Not sure what will happen with this one.  Both are two of my favorites.  I'm betting Naito wins in order to further his heel run.  His "I don't give a fuck" gimmick is SO GOOD.  

Nakamura vs Styles.  Two of the best in the world.  Almost impossible to live up to the hype.

Okada vs. Tanahashi.  It's going to be an awesome match I have no doubt but I think it would be a huge shock if Okada lost, which kind of hurts the drama for me.

Yes, that was the one.  For that was one the stupidest moves that I ever have seen and I loved it.  For those of you that haven't seen him, Honma is pretty much the Japanese Mick Foley.  An absolute lunatic.

Nakamura vs Styles and Okada vs Tanahashi both will be great.  They are currently my four favorite wrestlers.  Besides Roman Reigns of course.
