Jordan going heel is probably the only way to save this run

or dont whatever








hopefully part of the heel run is him getting fed up with Kurt and saying he made up the whole being his son thing and we can just pretend it never happened

they really should just bail on the jordan thing. say that he pushed the lie himself and when the paternity test came in he switched out his blood with the person close to him he knew to be angle's real son - chad gable. bing bang boom

They've got a ways to go but I like the direction with Jordan now, rather than him being generic tryhard plucky goodguy who happens to be the GM's son. I feel like they've been planting the seeds for him being heel all along with this angle (although I hate to give the WWE too much credit on their long term thinking.) Even if they are just course correcting because everyone hated/nothing'ed Jordan, at least for once they're steering into it instead of forcing the opposite. I think whiny, entitled brat that gets on his dad's nerves and asks for more than he deserves is a good old fashioned hateable heel, helped by the fact that people already hate him as a result of this storyline. (Still, screw them for loving up AA.)

Ninja edit: Eventually saying that the paternity thing was faked would be a good thing and could serve well to further Jordan being a heel and/or shut the thing down if needed.

Speaking of forcing things, I think Roman "The Big Dog" Reigns is still a dick. I guess they're still trying to make people cheer him but man does he come across as a smarmy rear end in a top hat no matter what. He'd be such a great heel... unless the point is that (like Cena was/still is?) he already kind of is a heel to men, face to women/kids, and who gives a poo poo as long as he gets reactions.

Didn't RVD already have a reputation for stiffing people? That, combined with my knowledge of how Stan Hansen hit his lariats after going (mostly) blind, makes me think RVD shouldn't be wrestling at all.

also that

I feel like they're wasting good talent, he can do some pretty cool stuff like he did in that match against Reigns and having him act like a whiny loser all the time undermines that

Highlights from Sasha on Austin's podcast

Austin asked if she enjoys being a heel or face more by saying both. "I've been thinking about this a lot recently, and I definitely prefer being a heel."
She highlighted that fans cheer heels and boo faces because they're so poorly written and bland, and the heels kick rear end.
To get herself TV ready, Sasha says a prayer, thinks about what happened to her last week, then puts herself in "The Baddest Bitch" mode because she knows no one cares about her full face character
Is slightly frustrated because they've teased her heel turn so many times and she's wondering "Is this ever going to happen?" but in the meantime, she's trying her best to make her face character work

hey so i've started listening to the bryan and dave podcasts on youtube when i get bored, never really heard from those nerds before

my favorite recurring thing i've heard so far is when bryan talks about how dumb and bad he found the booking and decision making and dave goes "well it's not dumb and bad if you understand their thought process..." then he explains their thought process and bryan goes "yeah that's dumb and bad."

and dave just goes "eh, well" and they move on. that's good content.

Have him feud with Kane and turn him back into Isaac Yankem.

Only after he reverses time through every single alignment and gimmick change that Kane has had.

Then reveal that this was all part of Kane's master plan to defeat the Undertaker. How do I post a 4 dimensional flow chart?

Oh man I'd watch WWE every single week and every single PPV if Woken Matt's gimmick was beating guys and sending them back to previous gimmicks.

He beats HHH (lol) and he becomes the Blue Blood gimmick

He beats Cena (lol) he goes to the rapper persona

Rusev is the anti-Reigns.

A charming, personable, beautiful man who people love, but because of one arbitrary fact, (he's foreign), we are supposed to hate him. And Vince gets mor eand more irate when we don't.

THE LIAR
- Rusev has gotta be turning face, right? Heels always discourage fans chanting for them, Rusev and Aiden actively played it up. Please turn them face please please please.
- Why is Randy Orton going for a roll-up victory if the story is that he's pissed off at Sami and Kevin for screwing SmackDown or whatever. Wouldn't Randy's character want to beat the piss out of Zayn every chance he gets? Taking a roll-up victory and then turning his back on Owens when he knows he's twenty feet away makes him look like a freakin' moron.
- I don't mind Nakamura and Orton being buddies, I really don't, but I wish they'd do something cool with it. Do a segment that shows they actually like each other. Let Orton do the spazzy hand gestures during Nakamura's entrance. Let them Release The Doves together. Do something. Don't just have them be "Shane McMahon's attack dog" and "Shane McMahon's attack dog's partner and guy who eats the pin".
- Stop me if you've heard this one before: Daniel Bryan stands in front of a TV, a bunch of women stand on either side of him and talk at him for a while, they all whine about wanting title shots or whatever, some kind of clusterfuck match involving all of them is made, Bryan is exasperated. Road Dogg is a hack.
- How the gently caress does Shane have the authority to fire Owens and Zayn from ALL OF WWE? If he went to Vince, then wouldn't it be in Stephanie and Regal's interests to immediately go to Vince and get him to change his mind, so they can snap up Zayn or Owens if they get fired? Especially since they did a segment where Stephanie showed a vested interest in getting Owens and Zayn back on Raw?
