I still think they missed a trick by not keeping Randy allied to the Wyatt Family + doing Goldberg/Lesnar/Orton and Wyatt/Harper, but eh. What's done is done.

Ask yourself honestly how much of 'his promos are poo poo' is you filtering them through the lens of knowing that he won't back up any of the poo poo he's talking because he's ultimately just there to job.

His promos were really, really stale no matter how much he was jobbing. Hell his promos were barely about matches which is what made them stale after awhile. They were very unique to start and then stayed the same for too long.

Who wants to bet that the WWE will embrace that heat because "Any reaction is a good reaction" despite losing more viewers on RAW by average every single year.

I mean honestly, as hard as the WWE tried to get over John Cena despite the fan's rejection they never even tried to have him end the Undertaker's wrestlemania streak. I don't remember every babyface on the show that was legitimately over coming out and cutting promos about how good and cool John Cena is (His debut doesn't count)

No poo poo, Sherlock. This thread's been around long enough that most people reading it are familiar with the concept of "smart money," but it's still fun to post early odds and see how they change over the weekend.

Can we go at least one PPV cycle without "heh, no smart money :smug:

the biggest surprise to me on there is Enzo and Cass favored to win, but i havent been watching RAW, so maybe they're getting pushed harder than I know about?

edit: the other biggest surprise is that no one has a minus for the Smackdown Women's Title. Naomi is the 'favorite' but still has a +100 :confused:

It's because she's not an overwhelming enough favorite. Betting odds aren't zero sum.

I knew the second part because the math doesn't add up ever, but I don't see why a betting site wouldn't put the favorite at a minus just to pay less money. Also what happened to the time-honored tradition of being embarrassed and degraded in front of your family in your hometown?

+100 is the same thing as -100, technically. It's even odds.

They didn't just try to get Cena over he was extremely over and drew huge money for years and years.

They also spent six months trying to show how Cena was better than the entire roster at their specialties and the internet was so angry at them for years and years for SUPERCENA.

Ok then why did you say they could flip if plans change. At this point the plans don't matter its a bunch of people donking money around.

They weren't about the matches probably because everyone was aware he was just in it to lose them. So of course you will wear out if you keep losing. Look at the Undertaker. When he started out in WWE he was more or less invincible for several years. You knew a match with him was gonna be a big deal. They can say wins and losses don't matter and to an extent that's true but then explain "The Streak" which is based on a win-loss record. If Wyatt had been made credible his words would have had more weight to them and his matches a bigger feel. But he always lost so it was the other way around.
