Finally Randy "Macho man" Savage is getting inducted into the HOF and by Hulk Hogan no less. I'm sure no one is more excited than Lanny "Genius" Poffo.

One of the all time greats and very few more deserving. Absolute superstar.

I'd love to one day see a contract signing that doesn't break down into a fight, just for something unpredictable.

Haha I'm only an hour into the show, now you have ruined it Who woulda thunked it

How did you rate the rest of the show Pag?

[wristwatcher]

On this day I give thanks for the return to active competition of Daniel Bryant YES, YES, YES!!!!

I also appreciated the small step back the authority took. Whilst still appearing and talking way to much (especially HOOO!) at least they were not the centre of the show and were making wrestlers look weak and spineless.

Finally it was refreshing to see Brock take on the role of an active and present World Champion. Not just standing there like a mute as PaulE uttered a repetitive diatribe. Good to see him show some emotion, personality and actual character.

It's still not great but I am thankful it improved and Royal Rumble which is such an important time of the year has some hope now of not being a total shambles.

It was OK. Ambrose and Mizdow still the highlights for me at the minute. The Reigns/Big Show segment allowed me to make a sandwich. Liking Rollins work. I'm happy for Heyman to do all of Brock's talking, he's still the best talker in the business, but Brock needs to be there standing behind him. Great to see Bryan back. Still a lot of time-filling in a three hour show though, it doesn't need to be but there's lot of guys with not alot on their plate, like they don't have enough writers to put anything together for the lower half of the card. It was never like that 15 years ago, even guys fighting at European/Hardcore Title level had something decent to do.

I'll still buy the Rumble because I do every year, like WrestleMania, but they need to announce a few matches for the undercard pretty soon.

I was at home mate, not long enough to make it to the pub, order, eat, and get back. Otherwise I would've.

i would love to see daniel bryan take on Lesnar at WM..... i know it's been done to death but this would be a great david vs goliath battle....

Know way can Reigns win the rumble. His Promo on raw the othe other night is another reason why he isn't ready....

[Bully]

i still think they should do away with smackdown IMO.

They struggle to fill RAW with decent wrestling and stories so having 2 shows with almost repeats of matches is not that great to watch

Disagree. I think they need to go back to a draft, two rosters, two independent shows with only champions able to work both shows and far most importantly two highly active world and WWE champions.

This would be so much better and less predictable. You can have two money in the bank briefcases, two world title matches at PPVs, Rumble winner gets a choice and you can even have inter show rivalry at PPVs. It also becomes a lot easier and more valid for small factions or invasions to gain momentum and create story lines. This would also ideally get rid of the Superpower Authority controlling everything and everyone and appoint a couple of GMs not gave a dominant heel regime that can make and change rules from one week to the next.

One title makes the other title less important imo... One champion I reckon. One preferably who can attend on a regular basis.

Makes the title more prestigious and the person carrying it more important...

I don't reckon it has worked since they went from two to one but I understand your point

[wristwatcher]

So with the Rumble only just over a week away it's time to place your tips experts.

I'm tipping Daniel Bryant
Second most likely for mine is Roman Reigns
Dark horse is Dolph even though he is not currently employed

Any variations to these?

[Bully]

2 titles are good if the champs dont appear on the other show. WWE championship for RAW, heavy weight for smackdown. Stars don't appear on the other show . Keep them separate .

[Bully]

brayn wins rumble. Surely vince will go this way. If not then reigns

Cena wins title after pinning brock. Authority gets involved and show knocks out cena, seth cashes in and is champ

[Pag]

I agree with this. Two champs just dilutes it.

I think they have the number of workers to fill both shows, but the writing and creative team is terrible. Apart from the top 6-10 guys, nobody else is being given anything decent to do.

[Magnum Force]

Although i dont want it it think reigns wins the rumble,

Cena to win the title, Makes rollins tap out, brock goes mad and pulverises Cena then rollins cashes in Orton interferes and stops him winning the title setting up rollins vs orton at wrestlemania.

triple threat at wrestlemania, cena vs brock vs reigns
