TNA's not even funny bad anymore. It's just bland and inoffensive like 2001 WCW.

Unlike 2001 WCW though, TNA doesn't have Scott Steiner.

That's not dumb. Face Dean is going nowhere. The only way that it's dumb is that it's going to be used to get Reigns over.

The opinion is dumb but not really interesting but I guess it's kind of funny that he put it in a macro wherein he does a little "guys hear me out" deal rather than doing a brief witty summary or telling a joke like the medium would prescribe. Also that there's a bunch of these at that site apparently.

BIG BICEPS SHOHEI


6 months ago I was sure Ambrose would be heel by this point. Figured with Cena, Bryan, Orton & Reigns all at the top, he'd just be floundering as a nothing babyface when he could be a #2 heel.

Bryan dying helped but even then it's amazing where Dean is, even considering the hot-ice age back and forth nature of his booking.

Maybe I am the stupid wrestling fan in this equation, but is it really a big step up from him to be in the title match when it screams "designated pin taker to protect Orton, Rollins and Reigns"?

This might count as a stupid opinion, but could Dean maybe tone down his dancing between punches? When he was fighting Rollins he did like a 10 second wiggle of his arm between punches. It is a little too much

It doesn't even make sense because the only way to turn Dean in that match is to have him cost Reigns the match, but Dean attacking Roman to prevent a Reigns title run would make him the biggest hero of all time.

Putting Dean in the title hunt as a tweener who won't align with either Rollins or Reigns because they all want the title is really the best way to go, and it would build seamlessly to a Shield triple threat. Reigns splits the crowd enough and Rollins is hated enough that Dean could be put in an ambiguous position without Reigns going down in flames.

But remember, you gotta make Reigns look strong.

Would he be the cheating heel, the whiny heel or the cowardly heel? Some combination thereof?

gently caress tv tropes

Some dude on tumblr posted:

I really hope they keep The Authority alive until Survivor Series where the main event is The Authority (Seth, Triple H, Kane, etc,) with Stephanie as a manager, against the people that got screwed over by the Authority (Dean, Roman, Dolph, Brad Maddox, etc) with Brie and Vickie Guerrero as managers. It would be an interesting way to have The Authority get their comeuppance, and hopefully end them altogether, and it would be a good, story-driven way to push guys like Dolph and Brad back into the limelight as main players.

Yeah, cause this worked out so well for Dolph last time.
