is it wrong to say that i still tune in for seth matches because i think seth is a legit good wrestler :(

Rollins is a dweeb but the character seems to be leaning into it a bit. He is a perfectly fine wrestle guy who can give a solid match against most people.

The Rey Mysterio eye angle sucked though.

I forgot about the eye when they had a normal wrestling match for the vast majority of it and the only indication that the eye had come out was an extremely deadpan Samoa Joe going "It's out" and then Seth vomiting on the floor.

Seth is a really great worker. It's easy to forget now but the whole reason he ended up as Raw's top guy is he spent a year tearing it up in a run of awesome matches. It's just as soon as they put him in that role they booked him like rear end cause WWE doesn't know how to book babyfaces and then he showed his whole rear end on Twitter and welp, what'cha gonna do?

agreed. it was especially good because it came only a few months after the worst match of all time, seth vs fiend at hell in a cell where there was a lot of "wait and see" from fiend fans, and then it all just leads to a fuckin goldberg squash lmao

They hinted forever that there was only ONE THING that could defeat the Fiend, and it turned out it was "a botched jackhammer."

Seth was hot as gently caress as IC Champion, then they did that loving Ambrose feud and it cooled him off basically immediately.

...and then right after that, he won the Rumble.

And I dunno if this is just me but after the Rumble, all I could think of was how badly Balor should be the one challenging Brock at Mania, not Seth.


God, he's so pathetic.

They literally had Kane with a movie contract and didn't make a Kane movie. They just made a movie WITH Kane. Don't get why they never tried to make a movie with their intellectual properties SNL style. They always take a gimmicked wrestler and go "k... you're a cop/detective now... or an army man... or something"

I think that if you take the potential movie audience, and limit it to people interested in pro wrestling, and then limit it again to people interested in Kane... you're really limiting your audience. Horror movies are generally low budget and do well with people that like horror movies and watch almost anything

Those last few SNL movies also did horribly. They've only made 2 in the last 21 years. Pointing toward the SNL model is not exactly a reason to green light a Fashion Police movie or something

McGruber (2010) cost 10M and made 9.2M worldwide box office.
Ladies Man (2000) cost 24M and made 13M

they should've just kept bray in his original gimmick and let him be a manager/tag team dude with a rotating set of minions that he leaned on for the heavy lifting in the ring, but that would've required wwe liking managers, stables, and tag teams

all swamp cult leader bray needed was to not always get chumped out

Seriously. Give that man some minions, treat it like the Ministry of Darkness

I really loved Seth destroying Brock's dick to win.



People criticized it, but gently caress them. Brock was stale. Destroy his cock and balls and free us from the same match every goddamn month.


Though, I wish Slapjack would do the same to Seth now.

A mania main event where Brock just lays waste to the Fiend and the Demon would be fantastic.

Pins the Demon by trapping him under the Fiend.

yeah Seth as a wrestler is excellent but he's had issues with defining what he wants his character to be or what the deal even is with his gimmicks. It doesn't help that Colby Lopez, the actual guy, is peak WWE in the worst ways so that tends to color the perception of him.

Beyond that, it def doesn't help that a LOT of his feuds and storylines in the last 2 years have been pretty bad. That poo poo with Fiend/Corbin felt eternal.
