The WRASSLIN’ Thread

[UTK]

Nothing flawed about it. It's true.

It’s true that’s the way WWE thinks. Absolutely. But it’s incredibly flawed and ignorant on their part. You can’t always go with the crowd but when you ignore them for years about a certain Superstar. Come on now. Take the hint. Lol Turn him heel or make him earn the respect of the crowd. It’s that simple.

Also. WWE should just do Rousey vs HHH. Lmfao. Screw the tag match.

Say what you want ab HHH and a lot of it is deserved, but not many WWE HOF's would be willing to be put through a table by a woman.

 

[Regulator]

It took some work to get there, but they managed to salvage that segment and got the crowd behind Rousey. Nice toss on HHH and nice paintbrush by Steph too.

Need to keep her off the mike. She is much better with angry glare.

 

[zjcvols]

I hope they're not trying to make this Austin vs McMahon 2.0.

Nah, just a way to protect Ronda in her first match and let HHH/Angle get their WM spots.b

That's what it has to be. That's where the heat is. There's no other entry feud for her.

The last half wasn't bad at all. HHH doing his part and putting her over.

Again, no it's not.

Nailed it

Lol...I'll bet Lawler would volunteer for it.

 

[zjcvols]

My dad did some solid booking just now. Tomorrow is a perfect spot for Heyman. "Ronda, you need someone to protect you and make sure you dont get taken advantage of. Look what I have done for Brock. I can get you opportunities even if the Authority is againat you bc that is what I do best."

 

[GAVol]

Probably so. A mixed tag with those 4 is a lot of mainstream star power for Wrestlemania.

Exactly. You protect Kurt, HHH gets his match, Steph gets some long time comeuppance, and Ronda doesnt have to put on a barnburner and can be protected.

Time for Roman's road to reign at WM.

 

[GAVol]

Elias is awesome.

 

[Regulator]

Elias is awesome.

"You're used to seeing someone you love behind bars."

 

[zjcvols]

Elias is awesome.

W(alk)
W(ith)
E(lias)

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Elias is awesome.

I have to admit, I've come around on him.

 

[UTK]

Again, no it's not.

When the Rock was booed as a bland baby face, WWE didn’t have this flawed logic of “well the crowd is making noise. That’s all that matters”. The Rock was forced to do something different. I think it turned out okay. WWE can have this delusional thought that “well they make noise when Roman comes out” so it’s all good and continue to push him as the same character the fans are rejecting and we will never know what Roman could do in a different role. But let’s be honest. It the crowd started being dead slilent whn Reigns came out, they would push him anyways. It’s just the simple truth.

I mean this whole “let’s just have one face of the company” logic is already flawed. Especially when people don’t like him. With Cena you have to admit 50% of the crowd backed him. That’s what made it work. That parallel, that 50/50 split.

With Roman he’s lucky to have a 5% backing most nights. It just comes across ignorant to me and a lot of people.

Of course there’s never going to be one guy everyone likes as a face either though. It is what it is, I’ve long accepted WWE will do as it pleases ultimately whether it’s dumb or not.

 

[UTK]

I have to admit, I've come around on him.

You have. He was awful in NXT. It’s insane how he’s so much better he’s been on main.

 

[GAVol]

If you ever see Reigns at a house show, it'll blow your mind. It's a Hulk Hogan pop when they announce his name.

 

[GAVol]

You have. He was awful in NXT. It’s insane how he’s so much better he’s been on main.

Definitely... He really figured things out since that Drifter thing.

 

[GAVol]

Strowman and Roman. Is there any way those guys DON'T get a tag team run eventually?

 

[zeppelin128]

After the push Rollins for the other night the pop would be huge if he won tonight.

Think we get Da Big Dawg though.

 

[zjcvols]

I wish Rollins would win.
