mkay0 posted:So, when this gets brought up, what does it mean? Do all the books move to have similar lines, is there one major player that the others follow, or are we just talking about one site? Basically right now its still guesswork (based off of storylines and what should normally be common sense). I think part of the reason Ronda became the favorite again was because of that PWStream tweet, which is highly suspect in its reporting. [But even they said that Ronda won't be in the Rumble] I also say common sense because right now, the Women's Division only has a few prominent players. Alexa, Nia, and Asuka. While someone else COULD win (Becky as an example), its not likely considering outside of the three big names I listed above, everyone else is treated like a joke/afterthought/not known well enough on the main roster (NXT). Smart money won't start coming in until late next week, I think. As for the do the bookers follow/herd, the answer is yes. Sort of. Kambi provides a lot of the services for these booking sites. So if you check any site that is powered by Kambi, their odds will either be very close or identical most of the time. Other bookers will see this and adjust accordingly. Speaking of betting lines, William Hill has moved Ronda into the favorites category, at 11/8. Asuka is at 13/8 there. DarkstarIV fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Jan 17, 2018 |

Can they freeze his contract if he doesn't show up? I heard they did that with Bryan.

exploded mummy posted:If that's what it would have taken him to stay I'm glad he's gone Dude was promised a main event push if he got over and made something of himself on 205 which he did as King Neville, WWE kept kicking the can down the road and he rightfully got fed up. It’s obvious he wouldn’t have gotten that main event run on Raw with the year plus Brock/Roman storyline taking that up, but him ending Jinder’s awful JBL title run sooner would be perfectly reasonable.

Saying yes to getting dropped down to cruiserweight even temporarily was the easiest trap in the world to see coming. They were never taking him beyond there once they saw how much him being there worked, regardless of what they promised

there was no balking on promises or any other fanfiction happening. Nevil did not wait long enough to make his demands. then he got pissed about playing ball and not being able to be both cruiserweight champ and heavyweight champ at the same time a little but down the road. period.

Ah yes the "dur at you" argument. I forgot nivelle didn't do the following: 1. throw a huge fit backstage about having to lose the cruiserweight belt 2. walk out because of that 3. Refuse to even hug Vince goodbye which not even cm punk did. 4. Seal his own fate by refusing any attempted reconciliation out of the same heightened sense of pride that refused to ever lose any belt no matter why

Have you payed attention to anyone to goes with Vince's whims? The Punk interview, Bryan only being in the WM main because Punk quit and Batista didn't want to work face? AJ Styles is the expection, not the rule

The reverse is Roman Reigns, who I defend as being a great in ring worker, practically getting handed his spot and it's been, what, almost 4 or 5 years now?

If John Cena refused to put over Braun Strowman because of his spot, everyone here would poo poo on themselves and spit everywhere to talk about how much his rep as a cool dude is bullshit and he's just like hogan.

Shawn Michaels was on a roster full of nobodies and created a political party. If Nievel was smart enough to do the same thing it wouldn't matter because no one backstage can even understand what he is saying.

Neville is cool and good, and the fact that they wanted him to even share the ring with Enzo is reason enough for him to walk out and never return.

Who else finds it absolutely hysterical that WWE may have torpedoed their own PPV with the Bryan stuff? Which has to be in part based on the way they've built Smackdown around him more than the freakin' champion. If I didn't follow the behind-the-scenes and dirtsheets, I would think he was wrestling.
