if you told me in 2012 the uso's had the number 3 selling item on wweshop.com i wouldn't believe you
---

It pays to be AJ and debut new gear every 6 weeks.

Also, stats like this really disprove the "Roman Reigns is over" logic you get from a lot of WWE booking defenders. If he was over, he would move more merch than this!
---

he's obviously the one selling the shield t-shirts!
---

The Shield did steal his music.

Finally watched Dunne/Bate part 3.

Can we just let these guys main event a Wrestlemania? Please?
---

Only once every 10 wrestlemanias

Sid missed an indie booking and he blamed Trumps travel ban

He was flying to somewhere in the US to somewhere else in the US, as a US citizen

I dont think that checks out

It's rumble season guys so what's your favorite rumble

Off the top of my head I'm thinking the one where cena returns at 30 so I think that was 08
---

2001

Kane destroying EVERYTHING, except Austin
Drew Carey offering Kane money, and then booking it
Raven turning it into a "Hardcore Rumble" (why hasn't this been more of a thing)
---

2001>1992>1998

My personal favorites.
---

2001 > 1992 > 2007

07 had the best final two moment of any Rumble though.

Three worst: 2015, 1999, and 2012
---

I think 2017 is on that worst list too. Oh, and 1993.
---

So... who's winning the Rumble this year guys?
---

My pick was going to be Sami Zayn but then he turned heel so now it's Nakamura so he can take on AJ at Wrestlemania
---

Same as every year: anyone but Roman
---

I hope it's not Roman - he doesn't need the Rumble to get the Lesnar match

I liked how it felt kind of unpredictable last year, even if it did end up going to a relatively boring winner.
---

So, question

What is Lesnar's best singles match since he came back? He's been back 5 and a half years, had about 20 PPV matches, and I'm discounting triple-threats (because, and idk if people agree, the answer if you include all his matches would likely be the Rumble triple-threat with Rollins and Cena, and if not that then the Rollins cash-in).

Gut instinct is to go with Punk/Lesnar or one of the two singles matches with Cena (that Extreme Rules match was surprisingly brutal at the time, and the squash of Cena at Summerslam was so fantastically unexpected). Punk/Lesnar probably edges it but it's a close one.

Lesnar/Styles by a solid margin.

Lesnar Cena at Summerslam. Watching Cena get ragdolled to oblivion for the first time ever made me giddy.

This was also before the "Lesnar match" became the norm.

I keep thinking about how WWE has all these incredibly talented people and somehow they don't know what to do with a lot of them. And I was thinking about the cruiserweights.

If I were WWE, I would've had Neville losing the cruiserweight championship to Akira Tozawa stay like that, but then Akira Tozawa and Neville should've had a long program against each other with a legitimate rivalry happening, because Akira Tozawa was actually getting good crowd reactions and Neville is fantastic.

Let's say that Akira Tozawa first defends against maybe Ariya Daivari or Drew Gulak in a 10-15 minute match, and retains. Then, Neville gets his rematch against Tozawa, and wins. Let's write Tozawa off TV for a bit in an angle where Neville purposefully injures him, so take him out of the picture for a PPV. Mustafa Ali should get the shot against Neville, and it should be pretty competitive, with Ali almost looking like he was gonna win at one point. After that, to determine who gets the next shot, there's a small 4-man tournament. The first person entered is Ali since he got so close to putting away Neville. Then we'll give Cedric Alexander a spot, cause he's cool, and then one of the cruiserweight heels. They say there's gonna be a battle royal to determine the 4th spot, and Akira Tozawa returns "before he's supposed to" and wins the battle royal. He'll face the heel in R1. Mustafa Ali also wins R1, so then the contendership goes to Ali or Tozawa. They have a fantastic match, gets them both over, and Tozawa goes on to face Neville again. Tozawa wins, then they have a rematch in 2/3 falls match to finish off the rivalry. Tozawa wins again, and Neville goes up to the main roster.

Then maybe have a Gulak vs. Tozawa feud or something. Idk. It could be really cool. I'd get behind all of this honestly, but I'm not interested in 205 Live right now knowing that Enzo is considered worthy of the title belt over all those guys

To be perfectly fair, 205 Live doesn't actually portray Enzo as being "considered worthy of the title belt over all those guys," either. The whole storyline is that he's very blatantly using the "Zo Train" for wins, and they only put up with it because he's the champ/most over, while teasing insubordination almost every week. It's actually pretty decently done.
---

Then I guess I'd just rather see some good matches than some good sports entertainment. You get what I'm saying? Like, everyone needs their character, but I'd rather watch competitors in a pro wrestling league than people on a wrestling-based reality TV show. I loved what Neville and AA did around Wrestlemania time, and I was down to see where the Enzo thing was going because it was boosting interest in the cruiserweights, but I was hoping it would lead to him getting his comeuppance in a good match eventually. Like, it would've been cool to see a fatal-4-way cruiserweight match where they all ganged up on Enzo and beat his ass any time he tried to get any offense in, and then that's how they get the belt off of him. Storytelling like that is better than storytelling like they are currently doing with him.

Also keep the belt on a dodgy champion for too long and I stop caring, just like with Jinder. When they finally got the belt off of him, it was a good match, but I hardly felt like it was good storytelling and more like I was just glad to be done with Jinder Mahal doing dodgy interference title defenses.

Well, have I got a promotion or two for you, then!

Is one of them called New Japan because I've been thinking about it

WWE is just by far the most accessible obviously so it's all I've ever watched
---

I made a New Japan account like 2 weeks ago but I haven't done anything with it yet

Yeah, one of them is definitely New Japan.

I'll probably be making a big post as a preview for Wrestle Kingdom in a couple days since I figure there might be a few people in here that might appreciate it, so look out for it if you're curious.

Just a few more hours for everyone to get their ballots in! Is there anyone who needs a little extra time?
