It's seen as being the worst ever by THE HUTT because most people itt were in diapers when Rey had literally the worst title run ever.

Yeah honestly things where looking okay for Rollins during the early part of his run, few fun matches against Orton and Ambrose both of which had I thought neat stories behind them (Orton being the former authority boy and Ambrose wanting to get at Rollins for the betrayal).

He started his steady downhill around Lesnar into Cena into Sting into oh god Kane.

Rey Rey just got beat up by JBL and goons then King Booker and goons.

Just have the Wyatts beat the gently caress out of everyone in the tournament and plunge the WWE into a reign of darkness where every show opens with Bray doing a spooky promo for thirty minutes

Yes, please. It fits their gimmick. Bray just blasts anybody who questions him with lightning or fire or has the druids murder them. Make him full loving Sithlord with a belt around his waist and watch me spin around marking out like a top on a floor.

With regards to Seth though, I hope someone will kindly donate to him an entire new leg. I tore my meniscus only a couple millimeters prior to going on a trip in May (which, of course, had lots and lots of stairs involved) and whenever I tweaked it, it was like someone pouring lava into your leg while trying to tear it off. Even on shitloads of pain meds, if I did what Rollins did to his knee, I'd be curled up in bed sobbing like a baby. 6-9 months sounds conservative as gently caress and it'll all depend on how therapy goes. Knees are hard to get right, even with fantastic doctors.

E: And why the hell would HHH have done anything in the title scene in 2016? Is Cena intending to take off WM season or something?

I say go all out on the idea:

Bray w/ Taker powers - WWE Champ
Erick Rowan/Harper - Tag Team Champs
Bruan either US/IC champ

Maybe it will make people forget Cena took on the Wyatts and made Bray cry... Maybe..

Considering he wasn't planned for either of the big 3 main events, the only thing I can assume is he'd either still be in the US title scene (RIP Del Rio) or they'd finally pull the trigger on Cena/Taker

Thinking it over, has anyone other than Edge that time he replaced Jeff in that title match returned from a serious injury as a heel? In 2002 HHH was the biggest piece of poo poo imaginable, but when he came back they didn't even try to make him anything other than a triumphant face. Same with that Angle injury with the Clocks video package. I THINK Kane was a heel-turned-face when he returned with Paul Bearer in that iconic moment people always talk about. Cena in 2008 was a face when he got injured, but even smarks lost their poo poo for him in MSG so I count it as the same sort of thing.

Sheamus literally this year.

Does Jericho count? He returned a few years ago and kept manipulating the crowd and even though he was (intentionally) getting face reactions he was technically a heel the whole time.

e: I guess I lost sight of your original criteria of returning from a serious injury on the Jericho front.

if you really want bray wyatt as this scary fucker even after he's failed to accomplish literally anything, then yeah have him and his clan of creeps kill everyone and basically gently caress with Authority and face dudes alike. You can start giving them some actual credibility by having the lights go off after Lesnar comes back and then he gets annihilated by four swampdudes.

I think the reason people assume things'll be better when HHH takes full charge is, he's a guy who clearly is not ashamed of liking and being involved in pro wrestling. Vince is. And so, wrestling fans, even fairly connected and bright ones like Meltz, hold out hope that we'll stop seeing poo poo like divas who can't run ropes being hired and given TV time, we'll stop seeing people like the Miz get pushed despite not being able to hack it in the ring (to whomever I defended his ring skills to around the time he won the world title, I apologize, you were right, I was wrong), and we'll stop seeing RAW being turned into a bad variety show.

I assume that's where it comes from, anyways.

I listened to WOL, and I don't recall Dave saying anything beyond the fact that Rollins would stay in the title picture, regardless if Reigns won or lost at SS.

The thing about Vince is that he knew when writing himself into the show that the money was seeing him get his comeuppance. It's the reason he's never won a match at Wrestlemania, peed himself on TV, gave a rimjob to Big Show and I just don't see HHH going to those lengths in a million years. The Authority never got anything resembling comeuppance (Survivor Series I guess, jesus I feel like meltzer when he's trying to make a point) and now (if this was to play out) they turn and potentially have face HHH as champion? gently caress that poo poo.

I agree. Something to keep in mind is I'm not so optimistic about HHH, just giving the perspective that I suspect some of these folks have, along with addressing perceived issues that HHH will supposedly correct because he's one of the boys.

I actually don't hate Miz fwiw, but I do think he stinks in the ring. That's not exactly a hot take.
