Roman could be good if he gets booked like Goldberg. I hope he gets booked like Goldberg

The whole Gotta Make Him Look Strong thing regarding Reigns makes me think back to the infamous Cena/Bray Crying match and how that was apparently a last minute Vince idea because "Cena needed to look strong". Whelp.

Replacing Ambrose with Reigns will instantly make the crowd turn on him, but people hated The Rock early on too, so as long as Roman suddenly becomes one of the greatest talkers in pro wrestling history, everything will work out fine.

There are a few reasons to dislike what they're doing with Reigns, but he gets a big reaction with what he has. Ragging on him because he does not do 450 degree flippy moonsaults is dumb.

Smoking Crow posted:You realize that Steve Austin knows like 6 moves right Really that's not true. Most of his run on top was as a brawler with a fairly limited moveset, but he was a solid technician before he changed his style due to injuries. the problem with Reigns isn't that he only does a few moves, it's that he is still lacking in fundamentals. There is no comparison with Stone Cold here.

I think its been said before, but what Reigns really should be doing is having a lengthy (year+) run with one of the midcard belts.

Not even sure why that conversation about Ambrose being out and Reigns taking his place was posted here when it didn't make sense out of context, and was obviously nothing more than Bryan Alvarez doing his usual thing where he gets an idea in his head and then it becomes "WHAT MUST HAPPEN". But congrats on feeding sticklefifer's lol dirtsheets obsession I guess.

I was reading that Big Show heel/face turn list the other day and I'm curious as to why he in particular has had so many turns so consecutivly. Is he just a hard guy to write for so it's just easier to do SWERVE HEEL NOW, SWERVE FACE NOW.

STAC Goat posted:I missed WWE for awhile. John Cena made Bray Wyatt cry? So Vince ordered that Bray and the Wyatt family to be squashed to show "Oh poo poo Cena's a bad man now, look how much he crushed and buried these Wyatts!!!" Everyone backstage told him this was a baaaaaaad idea, hell I think even Cena thought it was bad, but Vince wouldn't budge. And at the end of the match they had Bray beg and cry for Cena to stop beating him. This is why the Wyatt's disappeared after that for a couple of months

It makes sense because a crushed throat shouldn't be something you throw out to write a guy off for a couple of weeks or less but attention to detail isn't exactly WWEs strong suit lately.

achillesforever6 posted:Okay remember how after Summerslam where Brock kicked Cena's rear end; well Vince thought that this defeat was so terrible that it was going to cause kids to stop buying merch and make a wish kids were going to lose the will to live because their hero was crushed. I remember the vague idea of Wyatt/Cena. I wasn't really paying attention but after the botched Wyatt/Bryan feud that killed all my hope for Wyatt since it seemed obvious to me he was going to die at the altar of Cena. Then they had that singing magical kid thing and I tuned out completely. Next thing I knew Wyatt was alone, Harper was with the Authority, and Rowan was a top face. I assumed truly terrible things must have happened to bring that about but I didn't imagine Wyatt actually cried.

You missed Cena beating Wyatt at Wrestlemania, Cena beating Wyatt at Extreme Rules, then you caught the singing magical kid thing, Cena beating Wyatt in the mentioned crying match, and then Cena kind of beating Wyatt via winning the Money in the Bank match Wyatt was in.
