I see no reason he couldn't have been a perfectly acceptable midcarder.

The answer is always midcard because if you are in WWE, you are a halfway decent wrestler. Also because the question is being posed to wrestling fans.

Finn and Braun are the only ones out of those I care to see face Brock. Miz would have good promos with Paul but a poo poo match. Cena's been done before. Don't give a poo poo and actively don't want to see 5 star Roman against Brock.

I think I want to see Finn face Brock because of a morbid fascination to see live action ragdoll physics in a live real world environment.

I am reasonably certain if you pay Brock the same money but offer him a storyline or program which amuses him enough and lets him gently caress around enough, he'd do a full tour with WWE for 1 year just for those kicks.

Local morning radio show was having a "cheese Royal Rumble" as they argued about what cheese was best. A caller mentioned Cheez Wiz, everyone booed, and one of the hosts dubbed it the Roman Reigns of cheese.

Also, I almost walked directly into Kevin Nash and Scott Hall today.

They made the WWE a shitload of money so they're legends in management's eyes. They just got that look and attitude that makes alot of girls go "I wanna be that when I grow up".

And yeah Finn is totally losing monday to cover up that website goof kinda like how mickey james got in the chamber match to cover up that leak. Finn has the shittiest luck.

He should come out to Ugly Kid Joe's hate everything about you. Plays into his gimmick and love of lovely music.

Being totally serious. The best gimmicks turn into the skid but he's played the "I'm overlooked but great!" card too much. It's time to turn into the skid of "gently caress Dolph" and play off of it.

Depends on who is running the sound board, because it seemed like they could never be consistent week to week if it was "record scratch then silence" or "record scratch then song".

"The greatest underdog champion of all time."

I like the Attitude Era Podcast retrospective of his title reign, where he held the title for four months, and only won in that time span (not counting DQ wins) three/four times.

Watching her at the Rumble made me remember she has a lot of flaws, but Nikki is actually a pretty solid wrestler. Written horribly, not natural dialogue, but she's actually pretty good (not amazing) at wrestling, has good expressions, looks like she hits hard. Honestly, in the field of WWE women, if she managed to safely have another year in her, a good feud with Ronda


No, this would make him well liked and give him a strange new personality that the fans could care about. Instead, I think 'whinging Dolph Ziggler who we keep hearing reports about how he has good matches but we just never see them' is going to keep being his gimmick.

Like remember the reports that Ziggler vs. Roode was blowing people away on the house show circuit? And then on TV the matches were somewhere between bland, boring, and bad?
