hm how will we really establish this guy as a singles star and try to differentiate him from his brother oh I know, what if his theme sounds like a worse version of their tag team theme and he does all the same catchphrases but adds "its just me"

Looking at all the people in the replies talking about how much they love that song makes me wonder if these people only consume music through WWE Theme Songs....

Look at the endless parade of clowns who jump up to proclaim that Uncle Howdy was scarier than any horror movie they've ever seen and the loving Bloodline poo poo was better than any movie. Vince has truly created an audience of Vinces. A population of "why would I want to go watch a comedian, we have Ezio right here in the WWE"s.

I can imagine Punk getting signed, then going up to Seth because of that video where he calls him a cancer and going "do we have a loving problem?" and then getting fired and/or beat up because Seth seems like a pretty popular guy backstage.

Tampa Bae posted:lol they're definitely not shaken up by All In being bigger than Wrestlemania To be fair to WWE, they've done this lovely think for a lot longer than just All In, hell, even before AEW existed. It's an awful company that will fire you for any reason they want but won't let you leave if you're unhappy. Hmmmmm, weird that me being fair to WWE is just me making GBS threads on their policy for being standard rather than a panicked decision.

WWE refused to release Mustafa Ali for like 4 years while at the same time firing like 12 randomly selected people every other week the whole time so yeah, they have to do everything in the pettiest way possible for no discernable reason.

DEAR RICHARD posted:are they trying to run la knight into the ground? feeling like overexposure is going to sour the crowd a little bit. It actually looks like they're setting up a slow burn to Knight vs Roman, which, if it's him winning the Rumble and being the one to beat Roman instead of Cody, will make me laugh for days.

In fact, with WWE it can be every and any reason imaginable, as long as they are generally horrid, undermining the basic assumption of human dignity, or pleasing one or the other member of a fascist regime around the globe.

Knight will be penciled in to beat Roman, except on the morning of the match, The Rock will tweet "Is today Wrestlemania?" and then WWE will have Roman win in hopes that The Rock will come back next year.

Honestly, If the strikes are still going on and they can't The Rock to appear at Mania, it's not worth bothering. He'll likely be booked up with film shoots for a few years around that time. Not sure when they'll induct him in the HOF in that case. I would prefer a final match at some point at least since squashing Eric Rowan doesn't seem appropriate for his stature. Then again, Bruno's last match was a tag team match with Hogan.

It's abundantly clear he will be back eventually. It's honestly pretty pathetic of both Vince and The Rock how they are playing around with the expectations around the match against Roman; it's going to loving happen. Maybe not next year, or the year after, but it will happen and there will be a million lovely ads for it when it does, trying to convince everybody that this was actually worth the wait. And then five years after The Rock will have a five-second squash against Doink's grandson and die five days later, who loving cares?

I’ve never understood why Roman has to keep his streak going until he beats the Rock too, like he couldnt just have that match anyways and/or lose & regain the title for it. They made Goldberg champ for Mania in an instant why couldnt they just do that again for either Rock or Roman on one of the road to wrestlemania shows? Like let’s say he keeps the title until this coming Mania, beats the Rock, and then they’re exactly where they are now as far as the title is concerned.

But... he's not gonna beat the Rock? Like, are you crazy? He's gonna have his streak broken, by the Rock. So they can have another match, at next Wrestlemania. For revenge.

I don't think Rock is coming back and I never have and I think it even less the more time passes cause the dude is in his drat 50s and tore a pec every time he wrestled a decade ago.

Sami can be champion at whatever events there are that aren't necessary to build up for the inevitable Rock-Reigns-rematch to the inevitable first Rock-Reigns-Finally-Once-In-A-Lifetime-Episode I match. He will simply hand over the belts during a commercial break on Raw when the time comes and then proceed to beat Dolph Ziggler in handicap tag matches with Kevin Owens.

Like, seriously, hands up: Who is going to be hyped when The Rock drops the first hints that he has finally FINALLY COME BACK to fight roman reigns If you felt even the slightest rush imagining even current-day The Rock saying that in the middle of a WWE ring, you know that he is coming back. MJeff posted:I don't think Rock is coming back and I never have and I think it even less the more time passes cause the dude is in his drat 50s and tore a pec every time he wrestled a decade ago. Age and match quality is not going to stop him or WWE from eventually doing this, like come on!

I did find it funny when I realised Cena working a bunch of shows over the next couple of months is basically his version of working at Starbucks during the strike.

Yeah. Yeah. Rock's never coming back. He couldn't even be assed to send in a pre-tape when they dedicated an entire month and a PPV to him. Dude is never coming back to the WWE and he's never fighting Roman. Period.

When he first came back his career was fine but it wasn't in the stratosphere and going back to the WWE absolutely helped. Then he was huge in Hollywood and he'd pop in now and then for fun and play the whole magnanimous "remembering where I came from" card. Now that there's cracks showing in his career I don't know if going back to rasslin would create the right perception for his Brand.
