It was a TIME LIMIT DRAW!
The Men of Low Moral Fiber stuff in PWG was hilarious (Chuck Taylor is like the indy tag team specialist of all time). And there's a 24/7
championship match that was his way of getting DDT's attention:

He also carried a blow-up sex doll to a 4.5* match. That's how -I- first heard of Kenny Omega.

* Rumor is that Patriot Rob Gronkowski could be involved in Wrestlemania somehow
* Undertaker is penciled in to win the Rumble and face Roman Reigns for the Universal Title at Mania.
* With the new influx of cash from Anthem, TNA is preparing to start running house shows again and their tour of India is back on.

I would have bet the farm that we'd be getting Taker vs. Cena and Reigns vs. Strowman.
If Taker vs. Reigns happens instead, I'm really curious what they do with Cena, short of having him wrestle AJ yet again. And I'm also
curious (albeit far less so) about what they'd do with Strowman, since they've given him a pretty not insignificant monster push.

Yeah, from what I've caught up on, those two matches seem to be the most likely: Cena/Taker mainly because it hasn't happened for the
title before and Reigns/Strowman because I am apparently a psychic.
Then again, Taker/Reigns does seem like another uninteresting, sure-to-fail way to get Roman over finally that WWE likes to do, so why not go against
everything that makes sense?

It seems like a great plan if their true intention is to have one of Taker's last matches be greeted with a chorus of boos from bell to bell.

I wouldn't be psyched to watch it either, but it does make sense through the old school business lens that Vince and Taker see through. .
Taker's last match being vs Cena, whomever wins or loses, doesn't do anybody any good. Cena's so far past being over he'll
probably be on a Rock schedule in 5 years.
On the other hand, WWE has been desperate to get Romesey over as their top babyface forever. They want him to carry the flag for the next 10 years.
It isn't going to happen, but they aren't giving up on the idea.
Taker is of the generation, and is more than enough of a company man, that he'll most likely want his last match to mean something in terms of
building up a younger guy who needs the rub. And that man is Reigns.
I don't think it'll work, but I think it makes sense that that's what they'll try.

I would argue that they don't think putting a new guy over in a retirement match is what is best for business. That hasn't been the way
that they've done things in the past. For reference, see Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels and Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker. Also, see The
Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar, which was not The Undertaker's final match but just as significant in that it ended - retired - his legendary
undefeated streak.

I don't think Taker is winning the Rumble. Here is my way too early, totally sure to be wrong WM card.
WWE Championship: Miz (RR winner) v AJ v Cena (C)
WWEU: Reigns (C) v Goldberg
HHH v Rollins
Taker v Brown Stronghands
US: Jericho (C) v Owens
IC: Ambrose (C) v Evil Dolph
Lesnar v TBD
Show v Shaq
Andre Battle Royal: Bray Wyatt
RAMW: Charlotte (C) v Sasha v Bayley v Nia: Ref Rousey
SDW: Alexa (C) v Beckie v Nikki v Nattie
That's so many matches already but New Day has to be on there somewhere and I'm thinking there has to be a cross brand match other then
the ATGMBR. Also tag, cruiser and ... shit ... UK champ? It's gonna be a 9 hour show.
Well at least the crowd will be too tired to boo Reigns.

I'm not sure I like the Duelling 4-way Womens Titles Matches, but... Really, I can't do much better with what they're prioritizing
right now. Unless this Nattie thing is about to be finished off at the Rumble, maybe? Like, drop her from the SDWScene via resounding loss to Nikki
Bella-Cena, even though I hate to theoretically cost her a WM paycheque..
Hmm. What if they do a Ladies Royal Rumble at Mania? They do a 3-way title match for one belt, a straight up 1 v 1 match for the other, and then put
the rest of the women from both brands in a 20-25 minute rumble-style match. The winner of the Inaugural Stephanie McMahon Womens Battle Royal gets
to pick which belt she wants a future title shot at.
Errybody gets paid, we don't get easily-confused-by-similar-matches (because we can't have two Shanes, let alone similar matches) and it
helps fill the 9hr show!

Plus, Finn Balor has to be ready by Mania, right? In theory, he either comes back and goes right for the Universal Champion or right for Seth Rollins
in retaliation for putting him out.

Taker needs a someone who can work. Among youngish superstars that would be Seth Rollins or AJ. Seth as HHH's lackey surrogate getting Taker to
do what the McMahons want would be a story with legs. Taker also brings a wild card to the Rumble. He and Brock have lingering issues. Taker
isn't going to cozy up to Goldberg. Something happens at the Rumble to spark a fight between Rollins and Taker?

I first heard of Omega during his time at DSW. Omega apparently left due to hating their cookie cutter manufacturing and Bill Demott being the jerk
hole that he is.
But I did not see Omega till he started getting buzz in Canada and being the "King of Anywhere" match. Did you guys miss that?
" target="_blank">
Shortly thereafter, Omega debuted for PWG at BOLA 08. I recall during the group entrance, Omega got a light reception. Omega said, "Nobody knows who
I am." My friend and I were in front row and he said that as he passed us. Like little teeny-boppers we screamed, "We do! We know you!"
Omega would steal the show with an Irish whip and top rope breaking. There was s scare as Omega took a nasty spill and went to the back. Omega would
make a surprise return and be chased all over the Burbank Armory and outside as the King of the Anywhere brought that element to PWG. Then of course
Men of Low Moral Fiber arose, Omega's feud/teaming up with Ibushi and their Golden Showers, DDT stint, wrestling blow up dolls/little
girls, and now New Japan. It has been fun seeing this cool guy grow.
I really hope he becomes the new Sting, in that he never has a run in WWE. Omega is getting better and better and it would be cool to have another
"indie darling" carve out a legacy without the WWE hype machine. Just a neat tidbit. Anyway, this is more than likely a case of Omega just taking
some time off and playing with the IWC. Along with Cena trolling on his instagram.
Ugh, Taker v Rome? Jeez, that sounds like a main event that will be dead on arrival. WWE yet again forcing us to take our medicine that we do not
want. The fans would just shit on Rome as Taker is a yearly special attraction. Plus, Rome is not a nimble or dynamic as Styles or Seth to help
compliment a considerably older Taker. I hope this does not happen.
Cena has been cast in another film. It is called, "The Pact". Three parents who discover their daughters' pact to lose their virginity at
prom. The parents launch a covert one-night operation to stop the teens. The film is scheduled to be released on April 8, 2018. So Cena will be gone
for another stretch of time and keep this light schedule. Sounds like rubbish but I am sure Cena will rise above the material, much like he did with
Trainwreck. So Cena may not walk out of Mania with a victory with whatever match he is booked in.

You said that The Undertaker needs someone who can work and then offered up Seth Rollins as an example. I would say that the last thing The Undertaker
needs is to work with someone who injures everyone he works with. Special care should also be taken to his age and susceptibility to suffering a
career ending injury. The last time Seth Rollins worked with someone over the age of 50, a legend retired. I would hate to see that happen again.
