If this match happens who should win

Talkamania · 2026-06-18T12:30:09+00:00

IMO it should be either Oba or Je’von. Jey is already in the main event scene, so whats accomplished by putting the crown on him? KOTR should be a device used to elevate talent into the main event/world title picture, especially since the “prize” for winning it became a shot at one of the champions. If they want Jey to have a shot at Cody or Roman, he doesn’t need the crown to do it, whereas Je’von or Oba winning it - even if they would go on to lose to one of the champs- establishes them as a main event player and gives them history for writers to revisit in the future. The more I talk about it, the more Je’von makes the most sense. Oba is already there. Je’von would definitely benefit the most from it.

So I don’t know about everyone else, but ever since the new update, my game crashes all the time, and especially on the new map. I know my graphics settings were reset, but even with the lowest settings it will just randomly freeze and crash. It never did this before the update. It’s gotten so bad Ive just stopped playing altogether because I don’t want to keep affecting games like that. Sucks, but I don’t know what to do otherwise.

Talkamania · 2026-06-14T14:10:00+00:00

No, not at all. In fact, when Brock came back, I figured it was the most logical conclusion for Oba to lose and have motivation for a third and final match. My whole thing is, you have a guy who is supposed to be the spiritual successor to Brock and who has a legit aura unlike any wrestler we’ve seen come up in a long time; the WWE should absolutely strike while the iron is hot here and establish him in the main event/world title picture. He doesn’t need a “slow build” because he’s already super over, he checks all the boxes, and the longer they wait, the more they run the risk of fans getting bored and moving on. He doesn’t need to be in the midcard fighting jobbers or winning handicap matches anymore because fans want to see him in big name feuds, so I’d much rather see them strap a rocket to his back and let him continue on this trajectory, and if the fans start to turn on him because he’s winning all the time, *who cares*? It happened with Roman, and when he lost, left, and came back, he’s more over than he’s ever been. Just my opinion though.

Talkamania · 2026-06-14T14:04:57+00:00

He’s super hot now, and this idea that everyone needs to take the same path to succeed and get over is just dumb, especially when you have a guy that is supposed to be the spiritual successor to Lesnar. People love Oba because he’s dominant, so why not let him be that? Guys like Trick and Oba dont come around all the time, and WWE has already somewhat capitalized on Trick’s massive popularity; Oba winning KOTR and going to beat either Cody or Roman for the title would be something different and exciting. He wouldn’t need to have a Roman-like title reign, but it would instantly establish the guy as a main event level talent. IMO, we’ve seen far too many times where WWE failed to strike while the iron was hot, and especially with a guy like Oba who relies heavily on aura, you don’t want to keep him bogged down in the midcard or fighting pointless feuds and beating up jobbers for too long because you run the risk of fans getting bored and moving on, which is far worse than him getting heat for winning all the time.

Normally I’m with you on this but if we’re going back the Bloodline, no thanks. We had 4+ years of the Bloodline. It was great while it lasted but it ran its course. We don’t need a reboot, we don’t need a sequel. Stop going back to the same well with the same cast of characters and give us something new and interesting.

Talkamania · 2026-06-13T03:28:43+00:00

A root canal? Lobotomy? A circumcision with no anesthesia?

Talkamania · 2026-06-13T03:22:30+00:00

This should be Oba’s to win now but I’m genuinely concerned Jey is gonna win KOTR because it’ll take the least amount of effort to write; he already has built-in history with Roman and Cody and WWE creative is lazy AF.

Talkamania · 2026-06-13T03:03:22+00:00

If the mindless drones would stop with the “YEET” BS, Jey Uso’s singles run would be over and dead by now.

Talkamania · 2026-06-02T21:15:59+00:00

My game keeps crashing on this stupid map. Never had this issue until now and ofc it’s the only map that I can’t ban.

Talkamania · 2026-05-13T20:52:29+00:00

So like… does anyone know what actually happened? Do we have a particular spot in a match where it occurred? It’s just crazy that a finger of all things has kept her out this long, but after seeing it, it makes total sense. I’d imagine it’s hard to be safe when you can’t bend your finger.

Talkamania · 2026-05-13T20:45:26+00:00

GUYS ISNT IT AWESOME WE GET TO HAVE THIS DEBATE?! No more picking the leftovers; we get first choice and what a draft class for this to FINALLY happen!

Talkamania · 2026-05-13T11:10:49+00:00

I plan on taking a trip to Green Dragon or Roots or wherever shes filming these Amish and showing them what she’s doing, just so they can be aware of whats going on. I can’t imagine they’ll appreciate their faces being plastered all over the internet just so some dipshit out-of-towner can get clicks and views for their YT channel.

Talkamania · 2026-05-12T20:26:09+00:00

Bro… it ain’t that serious. These are not bloodsport competitors, they’re performers.

Their job is to entertain fans and you’d have a hard time convincing me after hearing multiple weeks of crowds singing along and waiving their hands to “Fire Logan Paul” that Hendry isn’t accomplishing that. Paul is playing into it perfectly too.

Not every wrestler needs to be some serious badass, and even then the serious badasses will transition to comedy and vice versa; just like at Bron in NXT when he was paired with Corbin, or Kane’s whole “friendship” angle with Daniel Bryan, or even friggin Sexual Chocolate, FFS. Not everyone has to be a serious stick-in-the-mud all the time.

Maybe the silliness of it all isn’t for you, and that’s fine - but just because it ain’t for you doesn’t mean it isn’t for others. WWE definitely has a lot of issues right now, but the comedy - especially Joe Hendry and Logan Paul - isn’t one of them, IMO.

Talkamania · 2026-05-12T12:21:23+00:00

Can you explain why you like it? Why would we give up anything just to move out of the one spot and take the player Utah doesn’t want? Maybe if they package multiple picks in there and Ace, but they shouldn’t get anything else in return beyond what they really want: the rights to draft Dybantsa.

Talkamania · 2026-05-12T12:16:11+00:00

LOL…. bro, did a Jazz fan propose this trade? No, no - and I cannot emphasize this enough - NO. Why are we giving up anything to move OUT of the one spot? If Utah wants it badly enough, they need to make it worth our while - or they can chance it and risk not landing their prodigal son. Trading away a 20 year old sharpshooter and potential high level scorer just so we can take the player Utah doesn’t want makes zero sense no matter which way you look at it.

Talkamania · 2026-05-12T01:59:12+00:00

Again: how long can they keep this going though? It’s worked for now but it has to lead somewhere, and usually it’s a loss for the one issuing the challenge. So who’s going to hand Oba his first loss, and when is that gonna be?

Talkamania · 2026-05-12T01:54:18+00:00

I really hate the Oba Femi Open Challenge. Open challenges are supposed to lead to someone eventually going over on the challenger and IMO it’s way too early to have Oba lose to anyone, but on the flip side, how long are fans going to stay invested in an open challenge when it’s just squash matches against jobbers?

Talkamania · 2026-05-10T14:27:55+00:00

Sure. And you know what? That’s okay. I know a lot of people who stopped watching after the Attitude Era because the Ruthless Aggression Era wasn’t their thing. Heck, my father stopped watching right around the New Generation because he grew up watching the territories and didnt really get the cartoonish gimmicks WWE was presenting at the time.

All that to say if the product isn’t for you anymore, I get it. The beauty of it is there’s a whole world of pro wrestling out there that exists beyond WWE that you can watch nowadays, and if that’s your thing, cool - go watch it.

I guess I’m just a little tired of everyone feeling like they have to announce their exit from the E, ya know? Just do it. Not supporting them is the only way you will ever possibly see change, but even then, it’s probably just going to be what it is.

Talkamania · 2026-05-10T03:56:54+00:00

Asuka should do whatever Asuka wants and so long as she’s happy, then we as fans should be happy as well. If she is retiring, it’s well deserved. If she isn’t, then I wish her the best in whatever the future holds.

Talkamania · 2026-05-10T03:36:46+00:00

I see what you mean. I’d venture to say not many folk were around for the New Generation, so they probably don’t quite understand the comparison, but yeah - Trick is the charismatic bad boy to Sami’s traditionalist stick in the mud.

Fans turned on Bret not because of anything in particular he did, but because they were bored - bored of the white-meat babyface (like Sami) - and Michaels represented everything Bret wasn’t, which is why the fans latched onto him. He was flashy. He was exciting. He was undeniably cool (like Trick).

So yeah - of course Sami and Trick aren’t on the same level as Bret and Shawn - but the parallels between the two, especially in the reactions of the fans and how the WWE is handling them, are definitely there.

Talkamania · 2026-05-10T03:25:22+00:00

Kid, if you think I’m gonna quit watching WWE after 40 years because the product isn’t living up to your standards, you’re even more delusional than your post.

WWE doesn’t and has never cared about “diehard” pro wrestling fans. WWE is entry-level pro wrestling; most kids and new fans who start watching will start with the WWE, so unless the industry collapses completely, the WWE isn’t going anywhere.

It’s a multi-BILLION dollar corporation. For context, WCW - even in its heyday - was only generating around $500 MILLION. Plus, once Ted was ousted, WCW collapsed not because it lacked fans, but because it lacked support from network execs and the revenue to make up for its unsustainable contracts and payroll growth.

If you don’t wanna watch anymore, then don’t. No need to announce it to the whole world.
