I just watched Dean Malenko vs. Scotty 2 Hotty from Backlash 2000. That was a really good match. It really should have led to more of a focus on the Light Heavyweight Title. X-Pac would have been a tremendous heel in that division too, but that didn't come for over a year.

I know that we've got Cena vs. Rusev confirmed for Extreme Rules, but I really wish they had sold the Rusev loss as more devastating to his career. The dude represented a nation every time he went out there -- when he eventually lost, it was a black eye for his backers, and a situation where he needed to re-evaluate, at the very least. Plus Cena and Rusev have fought at the past two PPVs now. After their really good showing on RAW, I think there would be enough good will behind another Cena vs. Ambrose match. Rusev can return after that and go after Cena.

My ideal Extreme Rules card:

WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Seth Rollins (c) vs. Randy Orton


-Orton wins a Triple Threat against Roman Reigns and Ryback to finally get his one-on-one rematch for the WWE World Title. Orton also has the advantage of having just scored a pin on Rollins at WrestleMania. Good for building the idea that Rollins could lose the title so early on in his reign.

Extreme Rules Match for the Intercontinental Championship
Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Kane


-I know a lot of people wouldn't want to see this, but it was the main event of Extreme Rules last year, and it was the last match Bryan would wrestle for months. Bryan defeated Corporate Kane when he returned to action, but Bryan could face his demons here and start off his IC Title run in a strong way.

Last Man Standing Match
Roman Reigns vs. Ryback


-The "consolation" prize these two dreadnoughts receive after failing to qualify for the WWE World Title match. Ryback and Reigns know that The Authority are trying to get them to destroy each other, but since neither really likes the other, they don't really care. Face vs. face Last Man Standing Matches are rare (in fact, I don't think the WWE has ever done one), but it would seem to suit both men's desire to prove themselves the alpha male in WWE. I think the casual fan would have interest in seeing these two fight it out.

United States Championship
John Cena (c) vs. Dean Ambrose

-Two men who respect each other, but have vastly different personalities. Ambrose has failed to win the IC Title and the US Title in recent weeks, so he'd be pushing himself to the limit here to prove he is worthy of being a champion, despite warnings from the honorable champ that it's just not his time right now.

Big Show vs. Damien Mizdow

-"What about The Miz vs. Mizdow?" That will happen, but my concern is that once Mizdow beats the crap out of The Miz, it'll be over. Mizdow needs to get his hands on Miz eventually, but you can continue to endear Mizdow to people, and have him rub shoulders with other guys while the shtick is hot, so that he is somewhat embedded for after he's done beating Miz to a pulp. Mizdow challenges Miz to a match at Extreme Rules, but Miz says that Extreme Rules clashes with his filming schedule, but he has an opponent for Mizdow -- cue Big Show. The final two men in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal fighting it out. Big Show can cut promos heading into the match voicing his disdain that the fans cheer Mizdow yet boo Big Show after all these years. Mizdow can cut a promo on Big Show about how he saw Big Show become World Heavyweight Champion in his first match, and how he told himself "That's the guy. One day I'm going to have to beat that guy." Mizdow's recent self-emancipation from The Miz could also play off Big Show's servitude to The Authority. Miz can still show up here, costing Mizdow his comeback (not exactly costing him the match, since Big Show would be positioned to look quite dominant) in classic heel fashion.

Femme Fatal 4-Way Match for the Divas Championship
Nikki Bella (c) vs. Paige vs. Naomi vs. Natalya

-These girls have all been having issues lately, so why not have the ladies all charge at Nikki at once? Brie would be at ringside manipulating things and no doubt find herself getting involved. With AJ Lee out of the company, this takes the pressure off one star to take her spot immediately.

Six-Man Tag Team Match
Cesaro, Tyson Kidd & Curtis Axel vs. The Lucha Dragons & Neville

-Three high-flying babyfaces against three heels who want to ground them. Axel shouldn't take his loss to Neville lying down, and Cesaro & Kidd have something to prove against Kalisto & Sin Cara, who are chasing their Tag Titles. A great way to have the faces gain momentum without switching the titles to the Dragons too early. These men would also have a really great match, which I'm sure the Chicago crowd will get into.

Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler

-After attacking Dolph and causing him to miss SmackDown, Ziggler has a score to settle. As a fiery babyface, Ziggler is the perfect foil for a freshly heel Sheamus, and can pinball himself around to make him look like a beast. This would be a hot way to kick off the show.

Kickoff Match
Goldust vs. Stardust

-Their feud was just dropped, but could very easily be picked back up again. These two beating the crap out of each other could get the crowd pretty pumped for the PPV.

@ all of the divas images being them in dresses or long pants when the US version of the sites has them in their standard attire showing a lot more skin. In some cases they even photoshopped longer pants onto the women.

I get there's cultural reasons for it and everything but it's not like they look like that on TV. I'd assume divas matches get edited off of broadcasts in that part of the world.

I quite like that card except for the IC Title match. I get your reasoning for it and the like but I'm just so unbelievably bored of Kane. He was one of the first wrestlers I was ever a mark for so I feel a sense of loyalty to him, and even I just want him to retire at this point. They've killed any and all intimidating quality about him.

I'd probably just go with Bryan vs. Barrett. I think the "automatic rematch if you lose the belt" thing WWE has done for as long as I can remember can lead to lazy booking but Bryan vs. Barrett would be a legitimately fun match. I can get behind any combination of Bryan/Barrett/Sheamus/Ziggler in the next several months.

I like your Noidbooking but I was listening to The Wrestling Observer and Bryan Alvarez came out with a triple threat idea for Extreme Rules, Roman vs Seth vs Orton where Seth goes over Orton after Roman kills him with a spear and then gets killed by Seth who takes the fall over Orton. I kind of like that idea.

I get what you are saying, but I'd actually do this as a last big shot for Kane to be near the top of the card. Bryan could make "The Demon" Kane tap-out and it could be presented as a pretty big deal. You can have Kane disappear for a bit after this if you feel the need and he doesn't want to retire.

Bad News Barrett can attack Bryan after the match as he celebrates on stage. The crowd would absolutely hate on Barrett for attacking their hero after a hard-fought victory, and it gives them more reason to fight than "rematch."

The next PPV would be Payback, and a post-match assault would give Bryan a reason to search for payback against Barrett -- and Barrett can talk about getting payback for Bryan stealing his title in a Ladder Match.

Sheamus can beat Ziggler up so badly at Extreme Rules (after a competitive match) that Ziggler's pride is hurt enough that he is looking for Payback against Sheamus too. Perhaps Sheamus actually makes Ziggler submit at Extreme Rules, and the loss haunts Ziggler for a month?

That would make total sense and I see the company going in that direction, to be honest. Reigns is protected by not taking the fall; and although Orton takes the fall, he still hasn't received that one-on-one shot.

Bad News Barrett can attack Bryan after the match as he celebrates on stage. The crowd would absolutely hate on Barrett for attacking their hero after a hard-fought victory, and it gives them more reason to fight than "rematch."

The next PPV would be Payback, and a post-match assault would give Bryan a reason to search for payback against Barrett -- and Barrett can talk about getting payback for Bryan stealing his title in a Ladder Match.

Sheamus can beat Ziggler up so badly at Extreme Rules (after a competitive match) that Ziggler's pride is hurt enough that he is looking for Payback against Sheamus too. Perhaps Sheamus actually makes Ziggler submit at Extreme Rules, and the loss haunts Ziggler for a month?
That's a fair point. In the build they can also revisit Bryan being a pain in The Authority's side and the like, so while Kane doesn't exactly seem deserving of a title match it would be exactly the kind of slimy thing The Authority would try to do to get more gold in their camp.

Frankly I can see Big Show getting a shot at Cena and the US Title before long for much the same reason, and because WWE just love to put over Cena hitting the AA on Big Show as a unique, never-before-seen thing even though it's happened a million times.

Anyway, if Kane comes up short against Bryan I wouldn't be averse to the Authority sending him home for a while. As played out as Kane is the fans would probably go nuts the day he returned as a face. Hopefully he'd then retire soon thereafter on a somewhat high note before they make a further joke of him.

Thinking about it, I do wonder how much more Kane could have in the tank. I remember when he won the ECW Title in a matter of seconds at WrestleMania 24 it was widely reported to be a "thank you" to him as he would wind down his career within the next few months. 7 years later and he's still going.

A short tentative Payback card that would come out of my Extreme Rules:

* Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns for the WWE World Title with Randy Orton as the Special Guest Enforcer ("You had your shot, Randy; now do what is best for business...")

* The Undertaker & Sting vs. The Wyatt Family (unbelievable, I know, but Wyatt needs to go somewhere after his loss -- how about he reforms his family and looks for revenge on Taker -- leading to Sting saving the day and forming the dream team to tease a WrestleMania 32 match between the two?)

* John Cena vs. Rusev vs. Dean Ambrose for the US Title (Rusev wants a rematch; Ambrose isn't finished with his chase)

* Big Show vs. Ryback (Big Show plans to get involved in the title match, Ryback has respect for Reigns and plans to prevent that)

* Daniel Bryan vs. Bad News Barrett for the IC Title

* The Miz vs. Damien Mizdow

* Naomi (new Divas Champion) & Paige vs. The Bella Twins

* Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler II (well, II for this year...)

* Cesaro & Tyson Kidd vs. The Usos for the Tag Team Championship

I'm surprised Big Show and Kane didn't win the Tag Team Titles heading into WrestleMania, to be honest. Well, Cesaro & Kidd were doing great as a team, but it wouldn't have shocked me to see Big Show & Kane given another run together as The Authority's guys.

You brought up the ECW Title win. I wasn't sure if that was meant to be a farewell for Kane or a way to try and make him look like a super-beast and give a boost to the ECW brand. That being said, I thought his loss alongside the New Age Outlaws to The Shield at WrestleMania last year was supposed to be a torch-passing moment.

If Bray Wyatt had beaten The Undertaker at WrestleMania, it wouldn't have been too far-fetched to have had Bray brag about it and Kane to take umbrage with that and go after Bray, putting him over at Extreme Rules. Going over Taker and Kane at back-to-back PPVs could have been a nice little deal for Wyatt heading into Money in the Bank.

I really, really want the Money in the Bank winner to be either Bray Wyatt or Dean Ambrose. Both guys would look slightly ridiculous carrying around a big gold briefcase but the nature of their characters would leave plenty of interesting cash-in teases on the table.

I was thinking about starting a new thread for this, but I'll just post it in here:

Instead of just doing Triple H (w/ Stephanie McMahon) vs. The Rock (w/ Ronda Rousey) or the rumored mixed tag -- I hope they do Triple H vs. Rock with the stipulation being that if Rock wins, Ronda gets Steph. I guess you can throw in a stipulation that if Triple H wins, Ronda has to do something. Kiss Steph's feet or something. That's a bit old-school, but you get the drill. But you could also just have the one-sided stip, because you're not going to convince people that wrestling isn't pre-determined, so why not set up all the pins and convey to audiences that at least they will receive cathartic release in the stories put out by the WWE? I mean, that doesn't have to be the obvious point; but being "predictable" would not be an issue with this match: It's meant to be predictable.

Another possibility is doing Stephanie McMahon vs. Ronda Rousey -- Hair vs. Hair. It adds an extra layer of "Holy shit, this is going to have ramifications on someone." I know I just said what I did about unpredictability, but I'm sure that if a stipulation like that was announced, there would be at least some pundits that would be expected some sort of major swerve to go down where Steph actually won and Ronda shaved her hair. People wouldn't put that past the ego of the McMahons, even though the outcome should still be fairly obvious to people.

I've been calling Dean Ambrose as the winner for some time now. The show is being held in Columbus, I think. Very close for the Ohio boy.

If Ambrose were to win MITB and then somehow insert himself into a Rollins/Reigns match to give us the Shield triple threat match most people have wanted since the group dissolved, that would be pretty rad. Who knows though.

Holy shit that would be insane. I really don't see it happening but holy shit that would be such a huge huge draw. Imagine the mainstream publicity that angle would get.

Thinking of MITB, I wonder how many unique cash-in scenarios they have left. Off the top of my head:

-Wrestler competes in a title match without cashing in, loses, cashes in after and wins title
-Wrestler competes in a title match without cashing in, wins title, loses the title at some point only to cash in and get it right back
-Wrestler gets injured/fired only to do a surprise return to cash in
-Wrestler cashes in backstage, taking the "any time, any place" rule even more literally
-Wrestler announces in advance that they'll main event WrestleMania and they actually stick to it unlike Kennedy/Bryan. This of course means yet another multi-man WM main event with the champion and Rumble winner but whatever

I don't see most of these actually being feasible/good but it's fun to think about.

If the title was ever vacant the MITB holder could just cash in and become champion. I don't think that one has happened.

What does everyone think the main event for WrestleMania 32 will be? Jim Ross called Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar, but I just can't see it. I think Brock gets his hands on Rollins at SummerSlam or even earlier.

I think the main event will probably involve John Cena next year. He's been the WWE's flag-bearer for a decade now, and although he has made way for some other guys at the past two WrestleMania shows, he hasn't really stepped out of the spotlight, and I don't think we've seen our very last Cena WrestleMania main event. He seems like a good choice to be heading into Dallas as the defending World Champion against a guy set to "replace" him. While it wouldn't be my pick, Cena vs. Reigns has to be a very likely option, doesn't it?

Another possibility is that Cena wins his third Royal Rumble and chases for his 16th World Title heading into WrestleMania. Or imagine if he sneaks in a reign between now and WrestleMania, and he's chasing his record-breaking 17th World Title? That's the sort of hook that could get people slightly more interested in the biggest Mania ever.

A lot of people probably don't think this will happen, but I wouldn't rule out of the possibility of Cena vs. Bryan in the main event of Mania either. Bryan still hasn't won a Royal Rumble, and although Vince might not see him as "the guy," there's no doubt that 100,000 people chanting "YES!" is a moment the company is going to want to achieve. They've managed to keep Cena and Bryan oddly separate since their SummerSlam match, which makes me think that they see dollar signs in another encounter between the two.

But I guess that match is also possible without it being for the World Title, given that both men walked out with a secondary title at Mania this year. Perhaps winning them and going on to headline the following year could be used to highlight the importance of those titles. You could possibly telegraph a potential WrestleMania 33 main event by simply looking at who the IC and US Champions are after WrestleMania 32.

I have a feeling that we may get the Triple Threat between Shield members that many were falling for this year in Dallas. Is it big enough to headline Mania? I'm not feeling that, even if Reigns and Rollins (technically) were given the shot this year. Plus, that would be the third Triple Threat (technically) to headline in three years. But if Reigns is tangled up with Cena, where does that leave Rollins? Given his size, skill level and persona -- he'd make a very good foil for The Undertaker to retire against at WrestleMania. But do they do Taker vs. Sting in one of those "spectacle" matches? Maybe they put The Shield back together to face a necessary evil? You know, a match against The Wyatt Family at WrestleMania would be pretty incredible...

Who does Lesnar face? I'd be interested in seeing Brock vs. Bryan, but I feel that this year was the year for that. I can't help but feel that despite everything, Vince is going to reach out to Stone Cold Steve Austin for one giant match. Lesnar vs. Austin would be fucking massive, and arguably the biggest thing they could put on the show. But Brock is basically a face now. Do you just have him be Brock Lesnar -- neither face nor heel -- in his own little paradigm? The heel pool for Brock to face is considerably smaller than the face one. Sheamus? Bray Wyatt?

Does the company reach out to Batista? Who does he face? Orton? Does he just do a run-in and try to help Triple H beat Rock? He's probably the sort of guy that can just come out and Powerbomb someone and it'd be more interesting than him working a full match.

How does this look for a WrestleMania 32 card? Too unrealistic?:

WWE World Heavyweight Championship
John Cena (c) vs. Daniel Bryan

The Beast vs. The Rattlesnake
Brock Lesnar vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin

If The Rock wins, Ronda Rousey gets Stephanie McMahon in a Hair vs. Hair Match
Triple H vs. The Rock

The Undertaker vs. Sting

Six-Man Tag Team Match
The Shield vs. The Wyatt Family

Supposedly they really want to do Brock vs. Rock for the title at WM 32. With the hints of Triple H/Rock that have already been planted I'm not sure if they were teasing a WM 32 match or if it's a SummerSlam thing.

In which case I guess The Rock gets Triple H at SummerSlam and Brock at WM 32? Of course, he'd need to work another match at some point too to either win the WWE Title before WM 32 or win the Rumble itself. Tough to imagine seeing him working two matches in a year, let alone three. But I guess it all comes down to what he's told WWE his availability is.

Might try my hand at a proper WM 32 card tomorrow understanding that pretty much every source has said WWE will try to get every legend physically capable of working to do so.

-Wrestler gets injured/fired only to do a surprise return to cash in
-Wrestler cashes in backstage, taking the "any time, any place" rule even more literally
-Wrestler announces in advance that they'll main event WrestleMania and they actually stick to it unlike Kennedy/Bryan. This of course means yet another multi-man WM main event with the champion and Rumble winner but whatever

I don't see most of these actually being feasible/good but it's fun to think about.
I'm with you on most of them not being worth doing. Money in the Bank is a golden opportunity, and many of those scenarios leave the wrestler in a vulnerable position when they cash in.

I've always liked the idea of the Money in the Bank Winner making a big deal out of the Royal Rumble. If their goal is to headline WrestleMania, then bumping off the variable of the Royal Rumble by actually being the Rumble Winner makes sense. Still, those are two crowning achievements to put on one guy within the space of a year, so it might make more sense to have the MITB Winner fall short in the Rumble.

I don't mind the idea of the Money in the Bank Winner just going on holiday after the win the title shot. Provided that they don't get out of ring shape and won't get rusty -- which a top star really shouldn't. That way the cash-in gets the added benefit of being a return of a major star too.

We haven't see a heel arrogantly cash-in ahead of time. Every heel that wins the briefcase seems to opportunistically cash the title shot in. This makes total sense, but in a roundabout way, so does an arrogant heel that thinks they have the babyface so sussed out that they telegraph their shot by quite a margin. Seth Rollins could have actually done this given the stuff Jon Stewart said to him. This is also the only way a guy should lose his cash-in match, in my opinion. Even then, I don't really see the need to have them lose. But I guess they could and become obsessed afterwards -- like how Sandow should have been. Could even be the start to a face turn.

I don't think they've ever had the cash-in happen on a guy who was taking time off -- like they run an injury angle with it. Imagine if Seth Rollins cashed in on someone like Randy Orton, put him on the shelf and took his title. The face spends months stewing at home and when they return -- hot rematch on an actually established champion.

They haven't had someone hold the briefcase so long it came close to expiring. The tension there could be quite good. If they leave it to the very last second, you have that sort of drama -- but you also have the potential for a double-cash-in when that year's winner cashes in right after the previous winner does.

They've never had the winner cash-in on another title. People might think that ridiculous, but if the IC and US Titles are meant to mean enough to headline shows, then someone who desperately wants to win one could use the briefcase for a shot. Often they say the shot is for a "championship match." The guy would need to be able to promo well enough to explain why he would want to be either the IC or US Champion more than the World Champion at that point in time, but it is doable.

I remember going wild and posting a scenario where Bray Wyatt won the Money in the Bank briefcase but passed it on to someone. We had no clue who that person would be, until it was revealed that AJ Lee had been handed the briefcase by Wyatt. She'd cash in and become the first-ever female WWE Champion. Her manipulative nature drove her towards Wyatt, and the two sort of rule as king and queen of the WWE for a while. Wyatt is the sort of character that could convince you that there are other goals beyond being the WWE World Champion.

Someone like Wyatt could also convince you that he has no intention of cashing in. He can talk about how the title shot leads to corruption or something. Men fight and claw each other in one of the most dangerous matches for the wealth -- greed fuels them. But Bray Wyatt ain't greedy, man (evil laugh). Then he could either cash in like a true heel, or he could let it expire -- or pass it on to one of his followers.

The winner could get injured and with his career in doubt, relinquishes the briefcase. Does he give it to the highest bidder? Does he relinquish it to a love interest to utilize for the Divas Title, or as suggested with AJ, to become the first-ever female WWE Champion? Imagine if a female did win the Ladder Match? The drama of having a woman holding the briefcase for a shot at any title whenever she want could be a buzz-getter for the company. But how do you have a woman win the Ladder Match without interacting with the males? Under a mask? Does she cry equality? Lucha Underground have managed to do intergender matches with some success. I hear the USA Network is not high on it, but it's not like it's unheard of.

We've also never had one-half of a tag team win it, I don't believe. Imagine if, say, Cesaro won the briefcase. Would Tyson Kidd expect him to use it for a Tag Team Title shot? If Cesaro cashed in for the World Title, would Kidd help Cesaro out or turn on his friend and partner out of jealousy? It'd be the Edge & Christian 2001 King of the Ring device.

Maybe a winner has a manager that takes control of the briefcase and uses it to bring in a new talent. That could be used to teased a face turn for the true winner.

I think that 32 could be a rematch, Reigns vs Lesnar. Reigns as the defending heel possibly with Heyman by his side going up against the unstoppable out of control beast, the winner of the 2016 Royal Rumble BROCK LESNAR. At some point in 2015 Heyman does some shady shit behind Brock's back, perhaps due to some sort of miscommunication and ends up wearing a neck brace from a sick F-5. He ends up leading Roman to the championship and taking Brock in a rematch.

I don't feel like Bryan is gonna be getting anymore WM Main Events, even though I really like that match and I am sure we will get it, perhaps as a unification match at some point this year (though if you can save that unification for WM 32, please do).


WWE Championship
Reigns w/Heyman vs Lesnar

No Holds Barred
Stephanie McMahon w/Triple H vs Rhonda Rousey w/The Rock

Loser Must Retire
The Undertaker vs Sting

WWE United States Title & Intercontinental Title Unification
John Cena vs Daniel Bryan


Honestly though who the fuck knows.

In which case I guess The Rock gets Triple H at SummerSlam and Brock at WM 32? Of course, he'd need to work another match at some point too to either win the WWE Title before WM 32 or win the Rumble itself. Tough to imagine seeing him working two matches in a year, let alone three. But I guess it all comes down to what he's told WWE his availability is.

Might try my hand at a proper WM 32 card tomorrow understanding that pretty much every source has said WWE will try to get every legend physically capable of working to do so.
It wouldn't surprise me to see The Rock vs. Triple H at SummerSlam either. Hell, they could use their '98 Ladder Match to hype it. Seventeen years later.

As far as Brock/Rock, that could be a match for WM 33 or even 34. No need to rush into it now.

That scenario for Reigns vs. Brock is a really good one. And that card is delicious.

Can you guys imagine how a Bray Wyatt/Sami Zayn story could go down? I think that is money in the making.

The more I think about it, the more I think that Stephanie McMahon vs. Ronda Rousey in a Hair vs. Hair Match is the way to go. Epic interest for that one.

Did you happen to get that idea from any source or is that your creation? Either way, you should really try and get that idea out there because it is MONEY. I was watching Alberto El Patron's Youshoot last night and he had a quote where he said "In Mexico the fan's don't care about the titles, they are secondary to the mask, and the hair". It made me really think about how unique that is compared to us here in the states. I don't really know how the story could come up, I would like for there to be a reason instead of Rhonda or Steph just outright saying "I want your hair on the line".

Perhaps WWE would manufacture some hair product endorsement from Stephanie where she is a spokesperson or model for a hair product, they shove the commercials down our throat until Rhonda does something about it.
