I am glad Enzo agrees Daniel Bryan should have never been in the main event of WM30.

I heard a bit of fantasy booking I really liked for this at WM33, when New Day were the hosts. Have the New Day doing some shenanigans in the ring, Brock's music hits to interrupt them, he comes down for his match with Goldberg and is basically like "scram, idiots." Kofi and Xavier are like :yikes:, but Big E stays behind to stare down Brock for a bit. There y'go, you've got a challenger for Brock and while Big E obviously gets his rear end handed to him, he can hang in there and show his stuff for a bit.

That sounds pretty cool. Too bad nothing of the sort will ever happen :smith:

Being married to a Guerrero will do that, plus getting lucky and getting a singing gimmick over.

Also was a huge Shamrock mark. I’m still pissed he never got a WWE Championship run.

And he’s also the reason every CAW I’ve made has an ankle lock finisher.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
Big E will never get that singles push because they don't get him. They didn't give him the NXT 5 count gimmick which would have gotten him over. They also don't get his humor at all. I remember a pre New Day match he was doing commentary on and he made a funny joke about being a Skip-It champion. Cole obviously had no idea what he was referencing, there was silence for like 20 seconds, followed by Cole burying him afterward obviously at Vince's direction because he also didn't get the reference.

From all accounts WWE has tried to break up The New Day numerous times despite how over they are and how much merch they sell. Because they are run by a senile geriatric who understands nothing about them but considers Bobby Lashley's "sisters" to be high comedy.

New Day won't break up because they know the singles division in WWE is black man kryptonite. Apollo going to the tag division was somehow the best thing that could happen to him. Jason Jordan's cleared to wrestle, lets see how poorly this goes.

I like how the Brock Lesnar: Part-timing bitch storyline successfully turned everybody on Brock, but
1) Didn't get Roman over
2) Brock didn't drop the title to him anyway.

So instead of us liking the guy that we hate, we still hate the guy that we hate, we just now also hate the guy that we used to like.

Not sure. The storyline hoped to capitalize on a growing sentiment that was building months before it, but wwe doesn't usually go that far back on a plan.

I came back into watching wrestling after 18 years of not, last year. I have seen Brock wrestle a singular worthwhile match. If that's the plan, that's some next level playing moves ahead.

To be fair, virtually everything about how WWE produces their events has become homogenized and generic and devoid of any charm or creativity so gently caress it we may as well embrace names like "WWE LIVE SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTATION" or w'e.
