WWE SuperThread II *Spoilers*

The Big Boss Man has been added into this year's hall of fame class. Despite not really winning any major championships, he was one of the real icons of the 80's and a deserved pick.

Not sure why the Godfather is in there to be honest. The guy played a number of characters that were always middle to low card. Sting feels a bit pre-mature too. I am sure he feels like he has another run left in him. It was a real shame they have had him go zero and two when he could have been a figure of awe and effect in the wwe and even pumped a bit of life and a second dimension to this tired old Authority regime.

Never saw much of the Freebirds so can't really comment on them.

Would love to see Chyna get this years female spot. If WWE wanted to go just a bit edgier she would be such a great addition to the show. She is still pretty fit from the looks of it. Her coming out in Hell in a Cell would be insane because of the well-known beef between her, HHH and Steph. Whatever the case, i thnk she would be great in any capacity.

The Freebirds are deserving recipients as is sting.

Bossman is an ok pick and more a reflection of what they have left to choose from than anything else. Most of their marquee half of fame candidates are still active i.e. Undertaker, Rock, HHH, Lesnar, Cena, Kane, Big Show, Vince MchMahon himself etc.

Still there are plenty that IMO are better options than bossman. Angle is the obvious one and I am sure will be there soon enough. There is also the likes of DDP, Steiner Brothers, Rey Mysterio, Goldberg, Raven, Hardy’s, Christian etc.

Now I know there are issues with most of those names at the moment but they will surely be there one day.

The HOF is becoming oversaturated, thus running out of talent like you've mentioned.
They should really induct only 2 or 3 individual male wrestlers - This allows you one older wrestler than may not be as known, 1 known main eventer and another what i call 'lifetime' member which is basically a wildcard/someone who deserves it (Big Bossman would fill that quota this year)

One tag-team or stable
They need to beef up the Group Division wing - Hardys, Dudleys, E + C (as a team), Outsiders, Steiners, Harlem Heat. Nation of Domination, Hart Foundation, DX as a whole stable etc

One women's wrestler a year as well (although sadly, even that could be getting difficult)

I would scrap the 'celebrity' wing, and have a 'misc' wing which could include Bookers, announcers, trainers, referees, celebrities, managers etc

Not a Sami fan myself, but the program between him and Owens should be good.

Couple of decent matches. Tag title match was good, and Ambrose/Wyatt have some great chemistry (although I can't stand that fake fall through the ropes thing Ambrose does, especially when he does it multiple times a match).

Owens vs Zayn for the IC Title at WM would be awesome, particularly if they are given time. If they can make it a Ladder Match and try to replicate their Ladder War match in ROH it could be off the chain.

I reckon HHH will win but with some fckery like Roman coming in and accidentally super man punching Ambrose.. Although what a great swerve that'd be if Ambrose wins.

The only issue with Ambrose potentially winning would be what happens to Ambrose/Lesnar? Do we get the same triple threat for the second PPV in a row? does Dean wrestle two matches? If Lesnar beats Ambrose, is he the champion and goes on to face Reigns?

.. or they can do Ambrose/Lesnar for the championship and HHH/Reigns still happens? And at the next PPV have a fatal 4 way? Idk lol

Reigns' win at Fastlane was for the Mania title match though, so he'd have to be there. Fatal Fourway main event perhaps, as HHH would also have his rematch. Though in that scenario we'd miss out a potentially great Ambrose/Lesnar match.

There is no scenario where Ambrose wins. it's just a trap.

He's really just been there most of the time so other people (Lesnar/Reigns) don't have to take the pin.

Pretty much, and this current angle is all just to keep him doing something relevant while Lesnar is off TV.

0% chance Ambrose wins the belt, win the match in non-title-change way a possibility.

Regardless it's ending in shenanigans, maybe both Roman and Lesnar (and Bray even?) get involved in a fracas of sorts.

Roadblock was a glorified house show. Can't believe Owens vs Styles in a 30 minute Iron Man Match was happening in Atlantic City while we were getting Stardust and Jack Thwagger matches. It was nice seeing Luke Harper getting some offence in on Brock in there match. Why they falsely advertised Wyatt v Lesnar is beyond me but him being a chickenshit heel is disappointing. It was still better than seeing him get squashed plus Harper looked good so maybe they'll finish up Bray vs Lesnar down the road.

The tag matches were forgettable but I wasn't suprised at all. Divas match was really really good, great to see Natty in her home country although the ending was weird (why did she break the sharpshooter?)

Ambrose vs HHH was a great match and easily one of my favorites of the year but the ending was horseshit (Clean Hunter? Really?) But they really have to stop doing the false title wins for Ambrose :lol: Overall there was 2 good matches with shit endings and filler. Bring on Wrestlemania.

Ambrose once again so close, yet so far. There is a big match for the title at Mania that is perfect to blow off the crap he has been through, yet he isn't in it. Yay! Roman! Woooo.....

I started watching, having not really been keeping up with it lately. Jericho comes out so I think sweet, Styles will be out to take him on and BOOM. Swagger hits me right in the face.

WE.... THE PEOP.... f**k off you irrelevant merkin.

Rushing the ring to beat a ten count, only to walk into a finisher isn't a straight clean finish. It's not like Ambrose was pummeled to death by HHH

Would have made more sense with Sami Zayn coming out... Jericho's promo was amazing though. A Canadian completely turning the Canadian crowd against him.
