They have a tall white dude they could be building RAW around who: - cuts promos well - has charisma - is consistently a good-to-great worker - has a great look - is Drew McIntyre

Sugar Blaster posted:I don't know why y'all are complaining about Corbin. Remember when Ric Flair chose to face Carlito as his Wrestlemania retirement opponent? That turned out pretty okay for everyone. That was a 5 month build to eventually end up with HBK. There are 2 weeks til Wrestlemania so this is not in any way the same.

Angry Grimace posted:Sami Zayn is another one of those guys where everyone is convinced that Vince absolutely hates him, but I just don't think so. Zayn's been booked in programs the entire time he's been on the main roster. If they don't like you, they don't give you programs at all. Sami Zayn has had multiple months long stretches where he wasn't in any program and was barely on TV. Then when he was kept off the Greatest Royal Rumble because he runs a charity that gives medical attention to the young and infirm that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would prefer to be dead, they covered up his absence from the show by saying he suffered vertigo because of being suplexed by Bobby Lashley and making fun of said vertigo he had gotten from being suplexed by Bobby Lashley. So I'm really, really, really not interested in hearing about how much they like him. Angry Grimace posted:Raw is a TV show. The titles in and of themselves don't mean anything. It's fake. I want to wrap this take up in a carpet, throw it in a van and drive it off a loving cliff. What do you think the One Ring is? Or the Death Star plans? Or the Dragon Balls, or the Infinity Stones or loving any stupid thing that the heroes are trying to get and/or keep from the villains in any fictional story. They're props meant to give stakes to the story and a goal for the characters so you can get invested in those characters and their journey to get the stupid thing. Of course the loving belts are fake, but when you treat them like they don't matter, they lose their ability to tell meaningful stories. When the tag belts are relentlessly treated like an afterthought, it doesn't really mean anything to me that Cesaro gets to keep winning them. Sure, it's better that he's on TV than sitting in catering ever week, but when Cesaro's doing poo poo like losing to a literal child or the boss' son, I really don't wanna hear that it's okay because he's on TV and has won the belts nobody cares about, because WWE kills my ability to get invested in them as props for telling stories by doing things like putting them on a literal child and the boss' son.

Drew is the Main event heater for Seth Rollins going into Wrestlemania and will probably be the first challenger to Seth following Wrestlemania in a feud that'll last months. He's in a pretty good spot. Corbin is going to in all likelihood get absolutely destroyed by Angle in a breather match between the big matches. The real person you should be feeling sorry for is Samoa Joe, who doesn't seem to have anything going on right now despite being one of the most consistently amazing performers in wrestling.

VJeff posted:You are going to be so disappointed. They're going to make Stone Cold the special guest ref and force a match that should be 60 seconds of the greatest hits of Angle be a thirty minute slog where Corbin gets the majority of offence and wins and nothing changes. Angle still retires despite wanting to have a proper retirement match against guys like Joe or Bryan. Corbin will immediately be jobbed out to a midcarder because he got filmed calling his dog a racial slur. Vince masturbates with the money he's donating to Trump.

Something about the brand split and having multiple versions of the same title have just made everything feel so devalued, especially when the WWE Championship stopped headlining PPVs. I know the roster has ballooned, but having five sets of Tag Team Champions seems a bit insane in a company that largely doesn't care about tag team wrestling

At least it wasn't intended to be that way. I think you're just accustomed to being people being disingenuous to the point of reading everything as sarcasm. I think the discussion is interesting. My take on this TV show isn't more valid than anyone else's for the most part. I will freely admit I tend to find things more entertaining than most people do. I also end up being wrong a pretty healthy percentage of the time. It's fine. Gonz posted:Kofi is going to win every match and then kick Vince McMahon into a garbage truck.
