Hmm, it looks like having a string of really bad shows going into football season was really stupid

It's pretty funny how they started this big angle with HHH and Stephanie and then they can't be on TV because they don't want to be associated with the NFL ratings drop. It's Hollywood Hogan level poo poo

As a goon who enjoyed the Star Wars/9-11 photoshops and tribute.avi and other 9/11 comedy and entertainment, I think Jindal should have a terrrorist gimmick.

He would get the most heel heat ever.
I'm not sure Bobby Jindal wants that kind of heat. :D

It's really weird how this is consistently the only wrestling board I go to that tends to hate roman's matches. Like even loving Stroud said the match was "DOPE". I guess Scott Keith hates his matches, but like, Scott Keith would hate his matches.

I think the match last night was fine it was just super predictable and the definition of a 'Raw main event' so it's not a surprise people didn't like it

Roman mostly has good matches, but his character sucks, his promos suck, and there are a million other guys on the roster who can also have good matches so meh

Blah blah blah blah!!
I honestly think Roman is boring in the ring. I'm not saying he can't get it done but he is like the least engaging dude in ring. Oh cool Roman you did 8 superman punches. The crowd doesn't like him, he doesn't really do anything interesting or cool. He just wrestles typical wwe style matches.

It's funny too because not only was his match that night with Kalisto really awesome. I remember saying that him going out there and using every heel tactic in the book was the first time I was ever interested in Ryback. It makes so much sense that the wwe wants you to not actually be interested in a wrestler.

Remember that Vince wants the WWE brand to be the draw and not the individual wrestlers and that perspective justifies all their horrible baffling decisions in his mind.

roman is very good at wrestling wwe style matches, but a lot of people in this thread seem to dislike wwe style matches despite their continued devotion to the product

Not that it makes it any better, but it was filmed a few days before the London Bombings and then aired the day after, I think? But if we're convinced having a Sikh portray a Sikh the day after the anniversary of 9/11 is some sort of coded message, the fact that it was a different terrorist attack and was before the terrorist attack hardly matters.

Roman has my favorite wrestling move: The Sleeper. No not the sleeper hold, I mean he just sleeps during a match. It's a good thing it's my favorite move, too, because he uses is 5-10 times a match!

Yes that's my second favorite.
