ziggler/ambrose wasn't great because it was basically Dean rightfully squashing Dolph about 45 minutes before Dolph played Colonel Sanders in a stupid commercial

Imagine how good Seth Rollins' matches would be if he didn't legit injure the other wrestlers with running powerbombs.

You mean the hundreds of matches he's had over the rest of his career where people haven't gotten hurt? AJ Styles has broken multiple peoples' necks and people don't call him dangerous, instead they complain that WWE doesn't protect the move that did it enough.

Really, regardless of the root cause Roman is never going to get the stink of being 'Vince's guy' off without a heel run. They should have just yanked that metaphorical bandage off before Cena went fully part-time so he could still do the lion's share of the PR/charity work, but they made their bed repeatedly over the course of like two years and now they're lying in it. People don't like Roman Reigns and they're working backwards to complaints about his workrate just like they did with Cena. Reigns having good matches isn't going to finally click and convert people unless they change how his character is presented.

Yeah that match owned and was arguably Trip's best match since he cut his hair off. Yeah even better than HHH/Bryan IMO, although it had the benefit of being a main event rather than show opener.

e: actually Shield vs Evolution may have been better. Best 1v1 match then.

it's 50% because Dean got stuck in a poo poo program with Ziggler for a month that made people sour and 50% because triggering Foochs to defend Dean is fun and good

This forum turns on wrestlers all the time.

Then when you ask "so why don't you stop watching if the product doesn't represent what you like anymore?", you get yelled at.

Then they watch the next week to see if anything will be better. And are shocked when it isn't.

The most likely time for wellness announcements would be after Smackdown anyway, once they've got their huge 4 days of TV out of the way. Plus if you subscribe to the "Eva's idiot husband" theory, Smackdown is where the majority of onscreen pre-suspension burials will be taking place.

I've always been against Dean, Brock, and Styles (the latter two because they're giant homophobes)

Eventually everyone will come around to that third one.

I think the ziggler program is the best dean has been since the shield split minus their match at the ppv which was simply boring

It seems like the WWE's overall business strategy right now is just pure volume. The return of the brand split, complete with new exclusive PPVs, trying to make Smackdown a bigger show, letting the main PPVs get longer and longer, having the NXT Takeovers take place the same weekend, there's just a poo poo-ton of WWE wrestling now and they're using this to try and drive ratings and keep subscriptions up- a "you can't afford to miss all that's going on!" mentality.

Of course this probably translates into a heavier schedule for the workers which probably won't help the whole "people keep getting injured during pushes" problem.
