I feel like Bryan is the favorite. I think he'd win right now, and it looks like a push is coming.

People are really, really high on Bryan. He gets massive amounts of reputation votes anyway, combined with the great stuff against the Shield, and his apparent push. People want to vote for him, and the New Japan guys will suffer from "been there, done that" syndrome a bit. Especially Tanahashi, since he isnt featured right now, and its easy to disregard him.

Realistically if im voting today im voting for Okada with Ambrose on his heels.

Cesaro has been awesome as well, but is depushed into oblivion at the moment.

Okada is the easy vote for me. Has more points on the all-around scale than anyone else.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

CIMA will once again be overlooked, but he's been Open the Dream Gate champ forever, always has great matches, they draw very well, opened up two new international revenue streams with him on top, and he is a key part of DGUSA for good measure.

Bryan is going to have a chance with a very solid second half. He has had a ton of good matches in six-man tags against The Shield. He's starting to get a singles push and you know he'll deliver. If he gets that big match and delivers, he might get the vote.

Latest Austin podcast with Angle is another great one.

Wrestlecon in New Orleans will apparently only have 1 show featuring talent from several groups that Saturday night.

Probably significantly cheaper due to all of the outrageous costs of running in Louisiana.

I think the big thing for Ambrose was getting the Undertaker seal of approval after WrestleMania. The Shield had that six man against Undertaker/Kane/Bryan on RAW, and Undertaker was so impressed that he wanted a singles match on Smackdown to put them over again. He picked Ambrose. If you remember at that point, the three were just about equal. Ever since, Ambrose has clearly been viewed as the alpha dog, as Fed mentions.

The best match on every WWE TV show almost always involves The Shield. They are the hottest thing going in company. I think WOTY will come down to Okada, Tanahashi, Cena, Bryan, & Ambrose, because I think Bryan & Ambrose have their best still in front of them. Punk had time off and wont be featured. Bully Ray doesn't have good matches. Gargano works in front of 80 people. Who else?

Which is awesome, because for a time it seemed like Reigns was to be the focus while Ambrose was more of the mouthpiece and a good worker.

3,000 people showed up for the Slammiversary PPV, with the same amount showing up for the Impact in Tampa Bay, Hogan's home town.

I don't know which one is worse, to be honest. And this coming from someone who prefers TNA to WWE by far.

Reigns will get his time.

He's talented, too.

Thomas, you should go to ROH Best in The World on Saturday June 22nd in Baltimore with me. Will be a great show and it's only 20 bucks

I'll have to check the requests at work since I just changed locations. Where is it at in Baltimore?

Yeah, they all are. I'm a fan of Black over both of them, maybe. But I was concerned that they were going to transition the Shield into a vehicle to get Reigns over, with Ambrose likely taking any losses they'd suffer. I didn't worry about Reigns, because he's the type of build that McMahon loves. Ambrose needed a great start to really hit his stride, and he's gotten it and hit it out of the park.

Reigns has a presence about him and the look that would have anyone seeing dollar signs. He's a bit raw in the ring and he needs to just get comfortable cutting a promo, but he could get there. He's no Mason Ryan, that is for sure.

That Ambrose nigga...he's going to be at the top of the card for a long long time.

Reigns could be the Samoan John Cena if they so chose....

Whatever happened to Mason Ryan?

He murdered someone in NXT two weeks ago

A hammer match?

 

[ThomasTomasz]

A hammer match?

A hammer ladder match.........guess Hardy is back in the title picture while they do nothing with Roode or Aries

 

[s@ppisgod]

They are just begging Hardy to come to main event a PPV loaded again....
