I want Trips to show up and do this in another match. Not even a title match. Have him show up and pedigree a local jobber, nod solemnly to Bo Dallas and then leave with no explanation. Do it at random every 3-5 weeks for a year. Then stop and never bring it up again.

Triple H, Overprotective Dad of NXT Champions is a beautiful idea.

WWE should capitalize on this by giving Seth a serial killer angle, but he is a face now, so he should be a serial killer who "lives by a code" and only kills bad people. This creates drama and tension going forward, because whenever Seth kills someone in the ring, it can be revealed that they were a heel the entire time and he just exposed their crimes to the world

ChrisBTY posted:

Concussion awareness and the upswing towards social harmony has probably not done wrestling any favors.
Wrestling isn't nearly popular enough for people to overlook their consternation towards a generation of dead/brain damaged performance unlike say, the NFL.
And Wrestling's core constituents have the reputation of being less than progressive. This was well and fine in the 80's when any foreigner could be treated as a heel without fans calling it well, tone-deaf or in the 90's when The Rock could do his thing without being called out for being a homophobic, misogynistic bully. Now? Not so much.

That pretty much nails it in my opinion. Wrestling just isn't popular enough to do what it always did, and changing anything hurts the fan base that has been sticking around since the 90s.

Kalisto is hurt but he was also at the CWC so who knows what they'll do when he gets back. It feels like they want him to be in the Rey Mysterio "small flippy dude that can still hang with the bigger guys" role but are afraid to actually commit to it at the same time.

From what I can gather, the person who is actually that guy seems to be Gran Metalik.

braun should come out and shoot throw both of them out of the ring like the sacks of poo poo they are, and vince comes out and says "that's enough of this cruiserweight mularkey, Paul." and drops the mic and walks to the back. then we never see the tiny flip men again
Its just a matter of time.

Seth teaming with Rusev? I'm in. :getin: Having a rep for killing people did wonders for AJ... Rollins should embrace this. Seth Rollins: most lethal sports entertainer in the world.
By dread lord cthulhu I hate the term sports entertainer instead of wrestler

edit:twas a joke but now I really do want to see Seth Rollins: Russian Infiltrator gimmick. "You cheered me all this time. You welcomed me back. Little did you know you were cheering on Mother Russia and the manliest leader in all the world: Vladimir Putin! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

You're probably right - neither AJ, Dean, KO, Balor, or even Seth are Vince Champs, but it's WWE. Eventually Vince is going to rip up a script 5 minutes before a show and feed all the five-foot-something guys to Braun. HE'S SO BIG!
