He flicks between them at will, later on in the night they used King of Kings in a promo or something.
He used the game at the end of the night? Generally he uses The Game when playing the face and King of Kings as a heel.

I thought King of Kings was his Authority soundtrack and The Game was when he's a proper wrassler. That's how it's seemed in recent years.

Used it during his 2006, 2011 heel runs and as The Authority leader the last few years, all of a sudden he's using The Game again at the Rumble and last night.

Shame he's not like Reigns and happy to use his faction song solo, Line In The Sand is awesome too.
He's had the best theme songs - "My Time" is probably my favourite entrance song ever.

Constant stream of awesome, it's amazing really, but I guess it's not too hard when you get Lemmy to write most of them. I think the weakest was Drowning Pool's "The Game", which was still decent. I think he only used that the one night, though...
Speaking of theme songs, hopefully Rollins will have a new one when he returns.
I like his, a new one could be interesting, and a sign of a character shift.

There's this rumour that HHH/Steph will move over as GM to SmackDown. After success of NXT, it's seen as a promotion to HHH to have complete control of the SD franchise, while Shane manages RAW with Vince in the background.

Not quite sure how that works, HHH had full control of the NXT roster which he'll not have at SD. And the storylines will have to be coordinated too. mmmm!

I don't recall Vince saying that Shane had to win the match, just have the match. He gets control of RAW either way?

Wouldn't be surprised to see Cena make it back and take Shane's place, however.

I'm sure he said at one point, if Shane wins, he gets Raw, if he looses, Vince gets the key and contents of some mysterious lockbox.

yeah that was pointed out by someone on the PWTorch livecast as well. Wonder if that was a slip of the tongue or if it's something they'll run with.

NXT video just posted, might be spoiler-ish.

Business suit Triple H uses king of kings, Wrestling Gear Triple H uses The Game. He used King of Kings at end of Fastlane and The Game tonight. Don't think iv'e ever seen him use King of Kings for an actual match. He was heel at WM 30 and 31 and used The game both times then.

Wasn't there some Wrestlemanias where it starts with King Of Kings, then switches after a minute or two?

Regarding Taker, l like the theory that this storyline has been going on since around Summerslam, when Taker interrupted Brock vs Rollins, and there was no punishment and instead he got rewarded with a match with Brock. And Vince/Taker made a deal where Taker would get a rematch but Vince can cash in his return favour at any time (and this is now it).

Meh, the Undertaker has had his time. No disrespect because he is a legend and in my opinion one of the all time greats, and having been lucky enough to see him live twice, I can truly say he is one of a kind. His entrance music is undoubtedly the greatest of all time too, but he is getting on a bit now and I don't want to see him struggle or get seriously injured. His fight against Brock a couple of years ago was awful. He looked so off his game, and under par, it wasn't great to see. Well it was, because it was The Undertaker, but he just looked a shadow of his former self, quite thin and almost ill in comparison. I think he should bow out gracefully. I don't want him or his memory to be tarnished the way Rick Flair is these days. Mind you, I never thought that much of Flair anyway, but I think the comparison is valid because many people do see Flair like that.

And after that he had another match with Brock which was really good and he looked more than good teaming with Kane against the Wyatt Jobbers. Based on the vids that McCool has been putting, he looks like he will be in good shape for this.

If anything, he's likely to, iirc he's said in the past that he's a believer in the old vets going out on their shields.
Ahhh, I didn't know that. Fair enough.

Yeah, he did, great point, but he could so easily have been injured badly in the first match because of how unfit he looked in comparison to how he used to look. I just don't want to see the guy go down in flames and be remembered for the wrong reasons.

They missed a trick to get Roman cheered at Wrestlemania, have him lose at Fastlane, then next week offer to fight instead of Shane for the control of Monday Night Raw, due to Vince/Steph/Triple H screwing him over. Simples.

As for Shane vs Taker... I think if Cena is ready in time, the above will happen last minute. Cena fights Taker on behalf of Shane.

Or triple threat winner takes all, or Cena v Shane after he defeats Taker? That way a quick match could easily be explained, especially if Shane v Taker is a slobberknocker and Shane takes a battering on his way to victory.

That one was amazing, because if you watched it on repeat, they'd changed For Whom The Bell Tolls to Enter Sandman, feck knows why......
heh, should have fact checked that one.

Undertaker appearing on Raw next week. What are the odds he goes feck off Vince, chooses Shane's side and Vince appoints newly heel turned Ryback as his representative? Or since Shane was the one who bought WCW, what if Sting is okay to do one more match and he comes out, siding with Shane and once again falling into that anti-authority role?

No mate, you were right, I'm not taking the piss. Live on the night it was For Whom The Bell Tolls, but in the repeats they dubbed in Enter Sandman.

I don't think that would of worked. The Rock is much more over than Shane, and even he couldn't help Roman get over.

The obvious thing would of been Ambrose to win the triple threat, Reigns to turn heel and go after The Undertaker, not too sure where that leaves Brock though.
