It’s insane to think about how fun and interesting the Sami stuff was when he was with Bloodline. It added a whole new dynamic while building up a babyface to dethrone Roman like it was actually fun and cool, then they just beat him and that’s it. No one cares anymore.

I was fine with Roman's 97 Hogan shenanigans as long as the fights were good before the bullshit took place. But, if the fights are gonna be 'bad' it's a no-go because now main events are basically stalling and bullocks while waiting for the angle to drop, just like 97 Hogan. And that's unwatchable. :eng99:

NWO didn't jump the shark with the finger poke, it jumped the shark with Macho Man joining; after weeks and weeks and weeks of Nitros ending with him (and Elizabeth! 💀) being jumped by literally dozens of people. It signalled that they were just spinning their wheels and doing stuff just to fill time; even at the expense of people looking totally ridiculous like Jimmy did.

So...uhh, this can go ahead and conclude I guess. I wanted Gunther vs. Reigns, but definitely 'not' until things kinda normalize.

Edit:

3 Usos vs. Reigns in a Wargames match. Loser is banished to Raw.

The MMA match has an average score of 3,36/10 on Cagematch, which I didn't think was even possible for WWE matches. Just how unspeakably awful was it to break into the Forbidden Numbers?

People talking about how cool it was that Sami got to main event Mania and win the tag titles was so frustrating to me because it was so clear to me that that match and that win was the knife going into the back of Sami's chances of ever getting to the top and well, look where he is now.

Some people thought WWE was actually gonna elevate the tag titles and that's never gonna happen even if Vince dies and I guess they ignored the Sami interview before Montreal where he said WWE doesn't see guys that look like Sami as a top guy and thus couldn't see the writing on the wall. WWE got what they needed from Sami and the minute they could move him back to the mid card they did it

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.

It both loves and hates its history, in that it loves to use stats going back as far as possible but also hates using that if it’s not putting over the current top stars as the greatest ever to do it. They have been trying since the punk era to get record title reigns in the hands of current stars, and then hilariously those people end up on the outs with the company so their reigns in turn need to be bested.

I’ve been saying it for a while but I think WWE wants Roman to be both the top face and top heel of the company. That’s why his character is a heel but the commentary treats him as this ultimate wrestling god. They just can’t envision a world where Roman isn’t on top in some capacity.

I feel that Vince and co LOVE that the WWE has history but HATES that individual humans are involved in it.

It's the inevitable conclusion of running a heel promotion for 25 years. In kayfabe the company is a heel, the company always wins, so of course the greatest, strongest wrestler of all time is a heel who always wins and who the company loves.

He's like the number 3 babyface on Raw, behind Seth and Cody. He's probably never going to be world champion, but he's still main eventing every week and gets cheered pretty well. His stock is definitely higher now than when he was getting beat up by Brock every week and losing to Johnny Knoxville.

The end of Roman's run will be a physical one. He will break a bone in a fluke accident, or tear an ACL, or announce that his leukemia has flared up once more, and it will sideline him for at least a few months.

Now, whether they chose to have him relinquish the belt or simply resume the day count when he returns and reclaims it is open to debate.

Vince will have armed guards at his bedside at all times to prevent movie agents from even looking at him.
