Bray's booking hasn't done him any favors but his delivery on his rambling promo's has really gotten worse post Mania. You have to wonder if he's pretty much half checked out right now on the character

Weren't there reports of him being pissed being moved to Raw after the short title run on Smackdown in the late spring and he finally had momentum? It's perfectly understandable, that was the best booking he had since the Wyatt/Shield trios era.

That's a hell of a pop for three guys standing in one place. Maybe this "reunite the Shield to get Roman over" poo poo is actually gonna work.


I wonder how far it'll last once Roman goes solo again for the Mania program next year.

No Bray Wyatt is loving great. It's the booking that's absolute garbage and indefensible. Why yes let's have an intimidating heel who never wins! It's GENIUS

It's not just never wins, it's always loses clean, any time it remotely matters.

It is next to impossible for a heel to get over once the audience has realized that they'd just a jobber. There's no need to root for someone to beat them, because anyone can.

No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

Part of me wishes the shield reunion was just a red herring. Dean and Seth just wind up leaving Roman high and dry and then that's it.

Also seeing kalisto at the end during the "reveal", was like the biggest deflating balooon moment I have had in a while.

I don't think it is dead anymore. Enzo joining and going heel actually makes me want to watch it and I bet I am not the only one to feel this way.

It is, Enzo hasn't raised the viewership on it.

So going by the Jinder example that means he's due for a half year reign at least.

It's just the rules. women and cruiserweights are only allowed to fight outside of their division if they are not actually a part of the division. as soon as they are, they can't have a match with anyone else

Can Shinsuke Nakamura overcome literally the exact same finish that all Jinder matches have? Will he have a plan to deal with the Singh brothers? Are faces in WWE capable of being at all intelligent?

The answers to the above is no.

WWE now shys away from things that would be non-advertiser friendly - and also toy manufacturer friendly.

Blood, Man on Woman violence, sexual or racial abuse, etc. are pretty much things of the past.

This does have issues, like how Stephanie McMahon for years just abused the poo poo out of all the men while they couldn't do anything to her. Her big comeuppance? At wrestlemania last year her husband accidentally knocked her off the apron and she fell through a table.

Stephanie went years being called a trashbag ho and a slut and being beat up regularly on TV.

She built up her comeuppance in advance (preuppance) and now she's cashing in.
