A lot of people are still reeling from shock that Kane came out in a business suit, exactly the way some people here wanted. But it's probably safe to say they joking because they didn't think WWE would actually do it. Well, they did! Which made me remember that a while ago before they even existed, people here actually predicted Dean Ambrose would get involved out of nowhere in the main event scene. Next thing you know, in comes The Shield. People had similar reactions to Corporate Kane here if I remember.
Are there any other times like this you know of where WWE actually did something you wanted, but didn't think they would do?

Didn't Ron Simmons coming out to randomly say Damn originate from here?

Does the stockholders, "Don't get too attached" thing count? It didn't technically happen on TV though.

My favorite prophetic thread was one where a guy made a joking but incredibly long prediction about A-Train returning to the WWE as a monster squasher and got everything right down to the crowd inexplicably and against all reason remembering who he was and chanting ALBEEEEERT during his matches. Then like three days after he posted that thread, NEWZ about Tensai started to appear and then it actually happened.

there has been quite a bit seemingly lifted from here from 2003 onwards, but does it matter?

It was from angryfan's Wooo's The Boss. to be fair on that one me and my brother used to use that as a punchline as well way before Angryfan started posting it. So it's not much of a stretch for a third person to come to the same conclusion. That said I'm sure that the WWE has people watching popular message boards including this one. in fact Vince is RIGHT BEHIND YOU!

One poster created logo for Brodus Clay and then it ended up on his tights at a ppv.

back in 2010, I downloaded a CAW of Daniel Bryan on Smackdown vs Raw 2011 and edited it to give him long hair and a beard, 3 years later that's exactly what he looks like now.

I predicted that Zack Ryder was doomed the moment he teamed with Cena. officialfan.proboards.com/thread/404584I would predict Goldust will get released within the next year after teaming with Cena but it's Goldust, that's like predicting Marty Jannetty getting fired or Sting's latest friend turning on him.

Every week in the Raw thread, this forum is able to predict that Alberto Del Rio will beat Kofi Kingston with an armbar that he aggressively refuses to release.
You guys are practically magic.

as one of the most active and respected forums on the internet I am still convinced that we are watched more then we actually know If anything they probably have some lowly paid intern at Titan Towers who writes a report each week about everything happening all over the internet. The internet is a big place. In fact dont quote me on this but I'm sure a job vacancy was posted on WWE's website a few years back asking for someone to fill that role. surely if WWE were actively monitoring us that tightly they would have known about Dolphingate a lot quicker. As his predictions were reposted on here from Reddit and lots of people were talking about it. (In fact if they were monitoring here alot they'd be monitoring Reddit too) Yet it took WWE months to notice anything was up. We are a portion of WWE's demographic, I doubt they take us too seriously, just like how another portion of their demographic comment on youtube videos and twitter and they don't take them very seriously I wouldn't be suprised if the odd writer lurks on here (though would never post or admit to being a writer) in their free time (if their schedule allows any free time) as despite the misinformation floating around about WWE writers hating wrestling and all being from Hollywood most of them are big Wrestling fans who wouldn't be out of place on here. In fact there was an ex writer on the gamesfaq (or whatever its called) message board last year who posted lots of backstage info (the proof he was who he says he was was that he made a random post explaining how Brodus Clay would debut and what his gimmick was a week before it happened)
