They're really just gonna go through every possible combination of Bloodline members betraying each other at this point aren't they

Solo's last feud in NXT before getting called up was with Von Wagner, who is currently feuding with Bron Breakker, so you've got those permutations to go through too

How did they keep Harley Races run enjoyable and fresh?

By not having nationwide television showing every one of his matches and the Internet to post all the results, mostly. Since it was still the territory days, he was basically travelling between all the different territories under the NWA banner, like CWF from Florida, NWA Hollywood, MLW in Eastern Canada, PNW in the Pacific Northwest, NWA Western, Houston Wrestling, etc, etc. That way the crowds were still into it, even if that title run included shitloads of DQ wins, Double Count-Outs, hour-long draws, and so forth.

Somehow when Tony Khan decides to do a long match, it's always a total banger, but in WWE it's usually a snoozefest.

This entire god reign would have been neat if the stories and junk paid tribute to the various title reigns Roman was passing.

But not in like a ham fisted way. So that qualification takes WWE out. WWE also seems to hate it's own history.

Just for yucks, here's a year of 30-minute PPV matches from the duba duba e

2023 SummerSlam: Roman vs. Jey
2023 MITB: Roman/Solo vs. Usos
WrestleMania 39: Roman vs. Cody
2023 Elimination Chamber: Roman vs. Sami; US title elimination chamber
Both Rumbles (obvs)
Both WarGames (obvs)
2022 Clash at the Castle: Roman vs. Drew

None of that even counts entrances, which is funnier because despite the Nexus/WWE match having 8 more participants to enter, still loses because Reigns' entrance last night was apparently a little over 7 minutes

Congratulations on not getting fit in 2011!
Jey looked nervous as hell during the entrance. I'm gonna put it down to "This producer gave me something guaranteed to be the drizzling shits, 25 minutes too long, and I sure hope my push doesn't die because this whole thing is gonna be loving dire :ohdear:".

Like, we don't even know if "Upper Midcard if You Squint" Jey is necessarily even viable yet. If he doesn't take, the nickname they tried to push just looks very silly.

The only reason the USOs are where they are is because they’re related to Roman. They’d be on main event or NXT otherwise.

It's actually incredible that Roman can do whatever he wants, I'm sure he has total control over every aspect of his matches at this point, he went over Sami, he went over Cody, he only gave up his first pin in three years and the main event of SummerSlam to his own cousin....

Just to lay the match out in a way where he just beats on him for 90% of it and cuts him immediately every single time he gets some offense. Beautiful stuff.

I hope the bloodline stuff never ends because as someone that gets their wwe info exclusively from this thread it feels like the same two or three story beats have been repeated for a couple years now and it lets me know I'm not missing anything worthwhile because there are already too many hours of wrestling each week with the other brand

Summerslam was a peculiar mix of good matches with bad finishes and bad matches with decent finishes, all building to a main event that was a bad match with a terrible finish. Oh, and whatever the gently caress that MMA rules match was trying to do. And a really long ad for Becky Lynch, who wasn't booked.

I always think back to a random person posting his own Royal Rumble with all his action figures. HHH starts his entrance and the next 2-3 guys are announced and make it to the ring before HHH lol.
