That'd be hilarious if that actually was Randy sitting at ringside all night in that uncomfortable getup and Vince called a last minute audible to not use him after all.

Alain Post posted:oh come on, if you want to say his delivery needs work, that's fair, but his stuff tonight has been nowhere near as bad as his horrendous attempts to do Rock/Cena comedy Yeah, tonight he actually came off like Shield Roman Reigns throughout the entire show instead of Samoan Cena. Stuff like that goes a long way.

Under the vegetable posted:That's a bad thing. He needs to be his own character. Shield Roman Reigns was by far the worst talker and weakest link in the Shield and it's doing him no favors to constantly hang on to that nostalgia. Well I mean more in the sense of "straight to the point badass "which really was his character before Jack and the Beanstalk happened.

Let's put some actual matches that have consequence on here to get people hyped for Wrestlemania!"

Alain Post posted:Daniel Bryan isn't a budding star, he is slightly younger than John Cena, and is just coming off a major injury. I freaking love him but he isn't the future of the WWE. Despite the offputting interviews and the Loony Tunes promos I actually still kinda like Reigns and want him to succeed, even though I like Bryan more and would prefer him in the Wrestlemania main event. I just hate how WWE only seems to be able to properly slow build people by accident now with the stars aligning rather than anything organic like with Batista a decade ago. They're even managing to screw up their once 100% beloved golden boy chosen one through this process.

SamuraiFoochs posted:Here's my thing. The absolute best way to do this is the one method they'll never choose. Have Rusev put Cena out of action for several months (seriously the dude looks half-zombified at this point he really should mend). Have Bryan carry/teach Roman in their match at Fast Lane with Bryan winning a match that  MAKES REIGNS LOOK STRONG and Reigns shaking his hand winning back over the crowd. Then Reigns, being Cena's intended literal and figurative replacement, faces off against Rusev and ends his reign of terror to the delight of most of the audience. And Bryan/Lesnar is the David & Goliath title match everyone wants to see happens.But Vince would never actually give Cena time off that wasn't forced because of a serious injury he couldn't just wrestle through, especially at the Superbowl show of the year.

Red posted:Did they ever acknowledge Lashley on-air after he left? Vince took a head-shave from Trump for him. I'd be surprised if he ever saw that as a negative. He probably figured it was a good way to sell the angle and a great excuse to doff a cool hat for a few weeks.

Retromancer posted:Am I the only one cool with Roman Reigns? My biggest problem with him winning the rumble was that he was cutting awful goofy promos every week but if they cut that poo poo out and treat him like they've treated him these past two weeks he'll be fine. Like, DB is cool and all but I'm not going crazy just because he's not main eventing every PPV all the time. I feel largely the same as Fochs, I prefer Bryan and don't think Roman's quite ready yet. But on top of that I just don't want to see the worst possible option of Reigns getting the Mania main event one on one with Brock, going over, then Vince getting impatient and pulling the plug on him not long afterward because he's not getting over as fast as he wants. I want either Bryan wins, we get the Bryan/Lesnar main event everyone seems to want, and he gets his true championship reign that got cut short last year while Reigns is built more slowly throughout the year to improve his solo match skills. or I want Reigns to win and get shoved down our throats for the rest of the year, line his title matches up with people who can actually work like Seth and Sheamus and what have you so he can learn and improve. If he hasn't clicked with the crowd by Summerslam, turn him heel and have him join the Authority in a 17th Anniversary Remake of Rock & The Corporation that basically writes itself. The worst case scenario is neither of these happen, Reigns gets the WM main event depriving us of Bryan/Brock then Vince ADDs and drops him a few months from now and he becomes Samoan Test.

Also it just occurred to me. We're exactly 7 weeks away from Mania and Taker still has yet to make a live appearance for this year's match. Since the Streak became a thing and Taker an advertised highlight for the show, is this the longest it's gone without him making an appearance to begin building the match? I really hope he's ok.

UltimoDragonQuest posted:The best part is they've trained the audience this is how things work and hosed things up long term yet again. The alternative is the one-on-one match where the crowd either cheers the big half-invincible monster heel they've built for the sole purpose of making the face he's going up against who is going to get totally poo poo on (and that's the BETTER alternative) or another potential Goldberg/Lesnar match where the crowd shits on the entire thing and both participants throughout. Making it a triple threat will be a saving throw. Alan_Shore posted:I don't mind a triple threat, but when Brock loses it should be a 1 on 1 match. Actually if Brock is truly an SNK boss the only way to legit take him down is in a tagging match makes sense

SamuraiFoochs posted:WWE literally cannot win at this point. For the record I agree with you that if they wanna make a star they should just do it, but people are Vince took the most tone deaf option possible at the Rumble, setting up Bryan as the big returning unpinned babyface champion who was gunning for the belt he never actually lost, then was shocked when the crowd poo poo all over the match after he was perfunctorily dumped out halfway through the match not setting up any major hot story line for him that would sate the crowd in place of a WWE title program
