Nice suprise at the end, look foward to watching it later.

Anyone reccomend any good shows to watch on the Network?

[Alex]

Monday Night Wars is great. So is the Rivalries series.

Side note, anyone watch Wrestle Kingdom 9? Phenomenal show.

I've only seen the Nakamura vs Ibushi match but my word that was unbelievably good (available here with Japanese commentary rather than JR (getting more and more bewildered) & Matt Striker : [ame="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2e0nh8_njpw-shinsuke-nakamura-c-vs-kota-ibushi-1-4-15_sport"]NJPW Shinsuke Nakamura(c) vs Kota Ibushi 1-4-15 - Video Dailymotion[/ame])

Nakamura has to be the best professional wrestler currently. I rate Danielson high but in terms of a full package, Nakamura is phenomenal.

The whole show was worth watching besides the Six Man with the Bullet Club.

Anyone watch Lucha Underground or NXT?

Are they showing the Roundtable shows? Can't remember what they are called. Those were good. Besides Michael Hayes.

Rumble

I'd expect Heyman to turn on Brock either at the Rumble or the next night
Reigns to win the Rumble itself (SNORE!)
Looks like Rollins is in the title match at Mania itself

[Jayesh87]

What are everyones predictions for the Royal Rumble?

-The New Day vs. Adam Rose, Tyson Kidd and Cesaro (WWE Royal Rumble Pre-show) - New Day but would like Cesaro to be pushed

-The Ascension vs. The New Age Outlaws - The Ascension

-Paige and Natalya vs. The Bella Twins - Paige and Natalya

WWE Tag Team Championship Match:
-The Usos (c) vs. The Miz and Damien Mizdow - Usos

WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match:
-Brock Lesnar (c) vs. John Cena vs. Seth Rollins - Cenation

2015 Royal Rumble:
Roman Reigns

The Miz and Mizdow angle will come to a head at The Rumble I suspect. Mizdow eliminates the Miz from the Rumble, as they work towards a Wrestlemania match.

Brock to win the title match, Roman to win the Rumble. Lame.

I wonder when they'll begin this supposed Bray Wyatt vs The Undertaker angle.

What do you think they will do with Daniel Bryan and Cena at WM?

Can't see Cena not being in the title match.

I see Cena ending Rusev's streak in a culmination of the cold war angle... It should have been Kurt Angle coming back for a final run and doing that in my opinion.

Ideally, it would have made sense. They have to make Rusev beat Cena and have him as the big heel test for Reigns going towards Summerslam. That's how you build your 1st/2nd monster heel.

Maybe tone down the Russia gimmick after Mania, defeat Orton twice (once clean) to rubber stamp his upper card status then go for the title against Reigns.

You know what I think would be a great mania main event? The Shield triple threat for the title.

What are your RR predictions?

Forgot about Rusev, didn't think he would be a big enough name to Cena to fight at WM.

If that does happen, be interesting how they start a feud.

This would be epic.
