Who will replace Barrett tomorrow night?

I'm pretty sure someone will replace Bad News Barrett tomorrow. I read that his photo was taken out of the gallery on WWE's Facebook page.



Now, here's the thing. I think that even if Bad News competed, we were still going to have a surprise entrant. They have 8 guys in the main event and 7 in the other match. While 7 is unheard of, I think they were going to bring in an 8th man. Now that Barrett is injured, it will probably stay as 7 and they'll announce this other guy to be Barrett's replacement.



And who do I think it is? Well.. Who better to win a briefcase full of money than someone who came to play and has a price to pay?????







I can see Miz coming in and winning the match. I'll actually be pretty excited for it. Hopefully they put Alex Riley back with him. Their schtick was gold and it's been enough time that I'd like to see it again.



Then again, maybe they would prefer if the surprise entrant is someone we can bolieve in.







Considering Bo isn't announced for the PPV yet, I think he has a big chance of being the surprise entrant and maybe even winning the Money in the Bo-ank.



I'm hoping for Miz though. I'm a big fan even if the IWC has turned on him. I hope it isn't someone anticlimactic like Santino, Truth or Big Show, but WWE loves to troll us with their classic "Big Show surprises".



So who would you like to replace Barrett, and who do you think will it be???

Swerve at MITB/How a Brock Lesnar title reign would work...

My bad if this post was deleted.I created it earlier and I don't think it saved because I checked my page and it wasn't there.

There has been talk of John Cena,Randy Orton or Cesaro walking out MITB champion.The case would be for the winner to face Brock Lesnar at Summerslam.I say how about a element of surprise and have Brock Lesnar himself win the belt at MITB.Think about it Brock techinically wouldn't have competed in the match so it would not count as one of his matches.But he would win the belt in the match.How would that work.First Cesaro tells Paul to stay backstage because how he screwed Punk last year.I would have Roman take out Kane early on and focus on Roman Reigns.Sheamus and Bray beat each other up.I would have the family take out Sheamus.Bray Wyatt get's beat down and taken out by Cena.Reigns,Orton,Cesaro,Cena all climb ladders.Orton gets knocked down and from out of nowhere Triple H hits Roman with the sledgehammer and pedigrees him.It would be down to Cena and Cesaro and Cena knocks down Cesaro.We then here Brock Lesnar's music.Brock comes down and Cena gets off the ladder and get's F-5'ed.Cesaro get's in Brock's face and ask him to back down but get's F-5ed.Brock throws him out the ring and F-5s him into the steel post.He then F-5's him through the announce table.John Cena get's up and goes to climb the ladder and get's F-5'ed and Brock then F-5's Kane.Brock climbs the ladder and grabs the belt and Paul Heyman comes out smiling to end MITB.





Why have Brock take out Cesaro,Cena and Kane? He takes out Cesaro by orders from Paul Heyman and this would write him out until after NOC.He takes out Cena and Kane because they are in the way and because....How would this work at Battleground. Kane vs John Cena to determine the #1 contender for the WWE hvt. title at Summerslam.





Next Night On Raw (after MITB) Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman comes out grining.Paul reminds us how Brock conquered the streak.He then say's how he was playing Cesaro to get Brock what he deserves.Brock get's the mic but Cesaro interrupts and can barely move (on crutches) and he falls down.Brock runs down and F-5's him through the minitron.Brock heads back to the ring and say's they wasn't finished.Kane's music hits and before he can make his way down Triple H stops him.We hear him screaming at Hunter he "ended my brothers career." Triple H tells him he will get Brock at Battlegro... John Cena's music hits.He say's he has a bone to pick with Brock as he cost him the WWE hvt. title.Triple H makes Kane vs Cena (#1 contenders match) at Battleground.





BattlegroundJohn Cena def. Kane... Brock Lesnar F-5's him



SummerslamBrock Lesnar def. John Cena



NOCJohn Cena def. Brock Lesnar after Cesaro's music hit.And If the plan is for Rock to still win the title to face Roman at WM 31.Then at RR I would have Rock vs Cena III with Rock winning.



Raw afterCesaro attacks Brock and calls him out for WrestleMania.Paul say's no,and keeps saying no.



RRCesaro,Roman,Dean,Seth,Bray are the final 5.Cesaro eliminates Bray Wyatt.We then here Brock Lesnar's music.Him and Heyman comes out and tells him "he can have Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania,all he has to do is step down and quit the RR match." Cesaro shakes his head no,not that way.Rollins take advantage and eliminates him.We are down to Roman,Dean,Seth.Seth get's eliminated and it is down to Roman and Dean.Roman eliminates Dean.Dean shakes his hand but looks pissed.The night after WrestleMania 31 Dean ends up turning heel and feuding with Reigns for the belt.



Raw next nightBrock Lesnar accepts Cesaro's challenge "via satellite" he the F-5's him.





WM 31 Top matches-

Brock Lesnar vs Cesaro

The Rock (c) vs Roman Reigns (WWE hvt. title)

Triple H vs Dean Ambrose

John Cena vs Batista vs Randy Orton (End Of an Era)

Seth Rollins vs Daniel Bryan

WWE Money in the Bank: Summer Rae VS Layla (with Fandango as special guest referee)

This didn't have a thread yet, but WWE has it as a match for Money In the Bank 2014 so let's get some discussion in on this one!

This feud has gotten a lot of time onscreen to develop. It's had more attention than the Divas Championship feud. So, why aren't these girls getting into the title scene while Paige gets stuck facing someone like Naomi? It should be ok as far as divas matches go but it won't be anything special. Fandango and Summer were a better couple than Fandango and Layla in my opinion. I'm hoping to see Summer win this and get a bit of momentum going into a possible Divas Championship match with Paige later down the line. Layla doesn't need the win here. I expect some type of finish to where Layla might remain with Fandango afterwards but Summer ultimately wins the match itself. It probably goes on in the earlier half of the night in between the tag team matches or something.



DAGGER'S PREDICTION

Summer Rae will defeat Layla





~~~~~~~~~



Now it's your turn.



What are your thoughts on this match? Who do you think will win and why?



Discuss! :)

Philadelphia 76ers

I have to admit this is another draft in which they left many people scratching their heads. They took a smart gamble on Joel Embiid. When you’re rebuilding and you need elite talent you swing for the fences not play it safe. Put Embiid next to Nerlens Noel in a couple years and if they both stay healthy they can be a force in the paint. The Sixers got a good future point forward - Dario Saric but likely he will spend the next two years in Turkey, developing. They picked up the very athletic Jerami Grant out of Syracuse, who should make some plays and fits an up-tempo system like the Sixers run. They rolled the dice on a few Europeans as well who may pan out down the line.



The people likely upset are the fans as I doubt they want to sit through another terrible season. Although I think they'll fare well if Noel is ready to suit up this upcoming season. Mix.these guys with Thad Young and MCW - you got a,pretty good team in 2-3 seasons.



Who all agrees or do you think the 76ers are doomed yet again?

WWE Money in the Bank: Big E VS Rusev

This match was announced last night on Smackdown. They had a good short match at Payback but I can't say I'm looking forward to this as I would've preferred that both men move on from each other. I wanted to see Big E in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match and Rusev taking on a much bigger threat like Big Show or Mark Henry. I think they should've made this a Flag Match just to add something different to the rematch and make it a little more interesting to watch. The rise of Rusev continues this Sunday. RUSEV UDREA! RUSEV MACHKA!

Report: Japanese Star To Officially Sign With WWE

The WZ main page, wrestlinginc.com, prowrestling.net and a few other sites are reporting, via Tokyo Sports, that long time Pro Wrestling Noah star Kenta Kobayashi will officially announce signing with WWE at a press conference at the a WWE house show in Tokyo on July 12.



Kobayashi's signing with WWE has been rumored, talked about and speculated for months, but it looks like it's going to be official within a few weeks. I'm not exactly sure whether this will be a good move for him or not to be perfectly honest. Like many other of the top stars in Japan, Kenta's stardom has been as in the junior heavyweight/light heavyweight/cruiserweight ranks and there are no weight divisions in WWE. Considering that he's billed at 5'8" 180 lbs., I don't see him being a contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship anytime soon. The only World Champion in WWE history to weigh under 200 lbs. is Rey Mysterio and he wasn't exactly booked to look like a strong champion, nor did a lot of fans take him seriously all that seriously as champion.



Various reports have alleged that Kenta has always wanted to work in WWE and after turning 33 years old roughly 3 weeks before WrestleMania XXX, the door of that possibility had to have been closing fast. I'm not sure what he expects/hopes/wants as far as his run goes, though I've little doubt he'll be making good money, otherwise I doubt he'd leave what's been a lucrative gig for him for almost his entire career in Noah. If he heads to NXT, I don't think it'll be for all that long.



IF Vince doesn't make him into some sort of parody or outdated Japanese stereotype when he hits the WWE roster, that'll be a positive step in the right direction.

Will he make it??

So it has been confirmed by WWE on their website that Barrett did indeed suffer a shoulder injury on Smackdown, but, still haven't posted whether they are pulling him from the match or not..



Do you think he will be fit (enough) in time to compete or do you think he will miss this match?



I personally see this as good news, if he was going to be withdrawn, surely they would of mentioned it on the website by now?



Perhaps he will have his entrance for the briefcase match, then go sit on commentary, making everyone assume hes not competing, then when he see's his chance, he gets up from commentary to win the briefcase, or be about to win the briefcase for someone to stop him just in time??



What are your thoughts on the situation?
