Cena/Dustin for the title would be ****1/2 and hell I'd buy a second network subscription for that one

Defending the WHC on tv every week would be a really dumb idea and devalue both the belt and the PPVs imo.

Before last week's Raw, when was the last time the world title got defended on TV? It was long enough ago that Cole pointed it out, but I don't remember how long he said it was.

I would rather have rotating champs every few months than watch Cena succesfully defend every week for a year.

This was the big problem with Goldberg as a champ, even as a US champ, during the streak. His gimmick is that he has a million matches and wins them all quickly, but when every fucker who never had a match on Nitro before gets a shot at the US title, when Al Green and Scott Putski get WHC title shots every week, that's weak poo poo.

It drew though. I mean it shouldn't happen with John Cena specifically, but I don't think the "devaluation of the title" during Goldberg's run pre-taser was a real issue. If it was, then nobody would have given a poo poo during Goldberg/DDP.

In general, fans will never get tired of watching people they love completely ruining goobers. That Goldberg stayed as over as he did despite being something like the 8th most important guy on any given Nitro after winning the World Title is a testament to how huge he was.

super macho dude posted:I would rather have rotating champs every few months than watch Cena succesfully defend every week for a year. I'm kind of surprised they didn't have Cena hold the world title for several years uninterrupted ala Sammartino/Backlund/Hogan. They probably could've gotten away with it. Now that I've said this, they'll probably have Cena break Flair's title reigns record and break Sammartino's duration record in the same reign just because.

Mob posted:I would rather see Cena win his 25th reign at age 40 than see Goldust wrestle ever again This is definitely the proper thread for that opinion. Goldust pretty much saved Cody's career by being so good as a babyface that Cody got over as one by osmosis.

Goldust was easily a top-10 worker in WWE since his 2013 return.

He's a talented guy and all, but I don't really want to see a near 50 year old in a poo poo go nowhere gimmick wrestle 1980s territory style in the year 2015 WWE/NXT aren't exactly lacking in talent. When people who might actually have a future can't get a push at all, the last thing we need is guys sticking around 10 years past their sell buy date.

Dustin still gets reactions, is still a fantastic tag-team guy, and might be the best guy of the last 30-or-so years to never get a real main-event push. It's not like he's making GBS threads up the top of the card in late-90s WCW or some poo poo. Cody is loving terrible now so putting him back in a Rhodes Bros team might help to rehab him again.

To me he's a guy who found the proper level for his talent (midcarder in a dumb gimmick) and got to enjoy it for a long time. He had a good career. I don't doubt that he has the skills to be a good trainer or agent, let him do that. Just keep him off my TV. Stardust is dumb enough, I don't need a second one. Hopefully the first one gets killed off in this celebrity match and they let Cody Rhodes have a non cartoon gimmick

Guys, you're usually supposed to be posting terrible stupid unsupported crazy opinions from other people in this thread, not just making up your own.

The Pisscast would be happy though. Considering how Bret Hart is into peeing on people most feuds would probably end with someone getting pissed on.

A Mark Henry mark posted:Mark Henry should drop out of the singles and go for the tag division by becoming the third member of the Prime Time Players. Not only would it kick-start his revitalization, but it would help even the odds of the PTP that other groups like The New Day have over them. It’s win-win. Yeah let's push the 44 year old that's been doing this for 20 years. New, young talent? gently caress 'em!

I won't defend a lot of the poo poo in his original Goldust run but I always thought he was one of the best parts of the really great first half of WCW's 1994 year.

We have TNA to credit for any remotely recent Goldust stuff anyone liked, because TNA showed Dustin 'oh my god what has my life become'. Alternately, TNA won the long game because we indirectly have them to blame for Stardust.

Great White Hope posted:I agree, Mark Henry is far too old to be around noted young guys 38-year old Titus O'Neil and 35-year old Darren Young in a feud with 34-year old Kofi Kingston. I guess this is sarcasm but with how badly your body goes downhill in your late 30s, it's pretty stupid sarcasm. Mark Henry is 44 years old, has been powerlifting for the last 30 years, and wrestling for the last 20. He's injury prone and slow and plodding, and his best days are long behind him. I mean, calling PTP "new young talent" is a stretch, but they're a lot newer and younger than Mark. Simply not walking around with 400+ pounds on your frame is going to be better for you in general.

Mark Henry's workrate hasn't really suffered since as a 'giant' style guy he never did much anyway. He can still do 100% of the spots he ever did before.
