That has to hurt him internally..to miss WrestleMania twice.

Yeah. THOUGH this would be a great time for Finn to slip back into the fold and it would make sense. Have him confront HHH, appalled of how he uses Joe to try and end careers and turns on HHH. Therefore he can fight for seth.

I agree with this completely! FINN BALOR!

Not even close.

Finn's still out hurt and it's unlikely that he'll be cleared in time. He said his target return date, at best, would be like, late March, right before/at Mania time. The internet was pissed that he didn't appear in the rumble, even though he's yet to be cleared to return yet. While it would be great, I think it's a pipe dream. At BEST, it'll be like John Cena last year. He'll show up for a brief promo or do a brief move, then vanish for however long it takes to heal up. He won't be around to build a story line. I would LIKE to be wrong here though.

Lets say Rollins is out for a total of 8 weeks, JUST 8 straight weeks before being cleared and coming back. That's 56 days. as of today, there's only 59 days until Wrestlemania. That's if rehab and recovery goes PERFECTLY and if WWE isn't overly cautious, as they tend to be nowadays, and rush to clear him as soon as possible than make sure he's good to go first. That still leaves 0 time to promote any kind of match for him to be in, unless they want him traveling every week to catch Raw, which is unlikely.

My guess is, at BEST, he makes his return AT Mania, and starts building up stuff for post Mania and maybe put HHH vs Rollins off till Summerslam if they can wait that long.

Triple H will have to fight somebody else in Rollins place, and while it MAY be Finn Balor, there's no reason for it to be him from a story perspective, and I doubt he'll be cleared in time. Maybe Joe, but that would be weird as well now, and besides, given H lost last years mania, it means he'll probably win this year, and do we REALLY want him going over one of his own NXT projects?

Granted, that would be fitting actually, Triple H defeating one of his own personal NXT pet projects at Wrestlemania. Seems like the kind of thing he would do.

I would like HHH to face Bobby Roode. Maybe not at this wrestlemania already, but I think that he could have been the next HHH like heel if WWE had signed him earlier.

It´s not that easy to build up a wrestler that does not wrestle regularly promowise. Maybe he could face someone like Dolph Ziggler by saying that the mere presence of this guy is nagging at him for years and now he finally wants to show him: "Who is boss, at the biggest stage of them all *intense stare* " ^^.

In my journey to discover the greatness of puroresu, I've watched parts of New Beginning in Sapporo.

Okada/Suzuki was alright. Imagine Cena/Lesnar at Extreme Rules 2012 but with slightly better talent and the same ending. Not the best, but not bad either. Just good.

Lesnar destroying Cena was absolutely brilliant for me despite the ending.
It had everything I was looking for in a match at that time:
Cena getting hammered against this and that, thrown around like a plush toy with even loud haters getting more and more silent and finally hoping that Lesnar would not kill the man on live TV. Everything else in that year after that was more or less bonus content for me.

Guessing Summerslam 2014 was like a Christmas then? Don't worry, I love both of those matches (Summerslam one slightly more, because of the ending)

I though of both matches as kind of a compensation for me having to sit through shit like the Star Wars promo, the Zack Ryder debacle or the Michael Cole sauce desaster. Especially the later had some car crash magic, it´s horrible and twisted, but you just don´t find the strength to look the other way until it is over.

I don´t know why WWE so long basically refused to book someone on equal terms with Cena. I guess it´s not his fault, but it literally made me fast forward many promos of him for years.
