This ‘Paul Heyman: advocate of Brock Lesnar & Roman Reigns’ stuff is backfiring. Fans refuse to get on board, no matter how much superman booking they do & no matter how many A+ Paul Heyman rubs he gets. It’s almost offensive to the discerning crowd, & it makes WWE look desperate.
I'm biased with regards to Curtis Axel, but it's cool to see him get some traction with his current character. Was always a huge Mr. Perfect fan, plus Joe Hennig trained at Harley Race's WLW in the beginning and I saw his sister Amy wrestle in my area a few times. Will never get why he didn't just use the Perfectplex as his finisher, though.
Anybody noticing how tepid fans are on Roman? I mean listen to the reactions Cena or Bryan get when they come out. The crowd even started chanting for Ziggler right before he came out and kicked Harper. I remember when the Shield was still together in 2013 after Reigns murdered everyone at Survivor Series and people started to chant his name on RAW. That's all gone far far away now.
What's worse than getting booed as a face in this company? A lukewarm reaction. Vince should probably shift people around in this company as I doubt putting the title on a man people are sort of against/for will really hold fan interest.
The undercard for Mania will be really good. This is like Wrestlemania 25 all over again where the Intercontinental match will take the place of HBK v. Taker and you can shut your tv of before the main event as the crowd will be dead or going home anyway.
Cole: "Yeah, thanks to Kane. You should buy Kane a Rolex watch for what he did for you."
Rollins: "Oh don't be silly, Kane doesn't wear watches."
Originally posted by LexusAnd now, 10 things to be vehemently disagreed upon.
1. HHH was already headed to the top before his wife took a liking to him.
2. The WWE already acknowledges how over Daniel Bryan is and loves it.
3. The WWE already knows how over Ziggler is too.
4. The same can be said for just about anyone on the roster.
5. NXT is going through a golden age right now and will decline.
6. Finn Balor's entrance sucks.
7. John Cena is now the benchmark of how much of a draw someone is.
8. Vince McMahon is just as out of touch as he was in 1994.
9. NXT vs, WWE will never happen solely due to the difference between a WWE diva and an NXT woman.
10. Roman Reigns can work his ass off and could make for a strong WM match with Lesnar's style.
1. Yeah, thanks to Chyna and Mick Foley. People he disavows.
2. Yes and No. They love the fans are into it to a point. And we have seen who far that point goes.
3. Know they really don't. If they did he would be headlining some PPVS or getting that Bryan match at Mania.
4. I doubt they knew Axel was over.
5. Probably.
6. Who?
7. Yes. Such a great benchmark where they sold PPVs for $50 plus to know $10 to the PPVS and a ton of other content.
8. Probably. Except he listened to people in 1994 and admitted mistakes.
9. It won't happen unless Vince thinks its time to put NXT in its place.
10. Like the little engine that could, I am sure he will do his best, yet if Brock doesn't feel like working, he won't work. See WM XX, his series of matches with HHH and the last Big Show match. He has been known to take a match off.
Originally posted by SKLOKAZOID- Lensar vs Bryan for the WWE World Heavyweight Title - Undertaker vs Sting in a match they should have just done right away - US Champion Rusev vs Roman Reigns for Roman's first singles title - John Cena vs HHH to give them both something to do at no one else's expense - Bray Wyatt vs Randy Orton - Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins to close the book on that feud
I mean. I have no notes. Maybe I would've gone with Shield 3way, but Cena/HHH "you ended the Authority, let's fit all our shit in one match" is fine by me, since who would want to see Orton/HHH again.
It's almost embarrassing to think how pops-ular Reigns would be right now if he was doing this same "well how about you try beating me" routine with Rusev instead.
Originally posted by AlbySureStardust made it known he had his cosmic gaze fixed on the IC title last night in a WWE App-exclusive interview.
Remember last year when Heyman kept saying that Brock would end the streak, and everyone kept saying that it was a shame that he was working really hard to sell something that was a forgone conclusion, and that he was the best thing about the build, but it wasn't going to matter at the end because we all knew who was going to win?
Well, it looks like we can confirm Bryan and Stardust are getting thrown into the mix at Mania. I'm not sure who to root for in that match. Bryan, so he can at least have some gold around his waist? Ambrose, to make up for more than a year of steady jobbing on every PPV? Harper, because he's awesome? R-Truth because he was awesome in TNA and never gets used in WWE? Ziggler for the same reason as Harper?
