I think they should go with Brock vs Bray w/his family in a No DQ match at Mania.

They got to keep building KO as a credible heel and give him a W at Mania. They ruined Rusev last Mania, they can't do the same with KO.

The key story to watch for next month are the Shinsuke Nakamura contract negotiations. There is WWE interest in Nakamura, and unlike with Kazuchika Okada, who has made it clear his goal is to build New Japan up and already had his taste of U.S. wrestling, Nakamura has never had any kind of a U.S. run. From a WWE standpoint, Nakamura is tall enough, which is a current management knock on Hideo Itami on the main roster, but his age, as he’d be 36 before he’d start, is a factor as WWE traditionally doesn’t like to start guys of that age in NXT (Samoa Joe or James Storm are different as the ideas for them were strictly NXT and not main roster, while Nakamura would likely start in NXT but the goal is main roster). Nakamura is intrigued with the idea of being an American star, and the huge reaction he’s gotten on ROH shows may give him the idea that his charisma would carry over. At the same time, owner Takaaki Kidani in the past has said that they may have to offer seven figure or near seven figure deals to top guys, so it’s not a situation like AAA with Alberto where they couldn’t match with WWE offer.

No one not in WWE is turning down a full time money contract. When people like AJ Joe or Briscoes talk about turning down WWE money, they're talking about developmental deals.
If someone is offered a million plus yeah. Otherwise he is not even taking a regular main roster deal.

He has said it like 10 times.

There was word when they tried to sign the young bucks. They they offered them money that some on the main roster were making.

Court Bauer expanded on it a bit more on the LAW today.

Whoever it is behind the scenes who wants to bring him in already has a time and a place that it will happen in mind :damn::damn::damn::damn:


Full Sail would be fukking LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT if he showed up there. Neckbeard Buddha :wow:

Plans can change at anytime though :sas1:
