Mob posted:The masses love when a big man can move. Remember when Sportscenter used to show highlights, a big fat lineman scooping up a fumble and running for a touchdown always made the top 10 Vader and the Bossman. Not to mention the nicest guy of his day, Earthquake. Fat guys who can go are awesome.

Sanguinia posted:Midcarders? You know that Ambrose was #2 in the Rumble and wrestled Triple H for the title just before that match, and main evented multiple PPVs and many months of TV before he fought Brock right? Or were Rollins and Reigns also midcarders when they fought Brock? Dean-o, for all that I really enjoy him, is absolutely booked and treated as a midcarder.

Venomous posted:Bray pinned John Cena and AJ Styles clean in the past couple of months. He has all the momentum behind him as champion, and he's actually been booked strongly up to this point. If they wanted a good, young main event heel to keep Smackdown going, it would be an incredibly good idea to have Bray retain against Randy at Wrestlemania. That would mean showing some confidence in one of the only young main eventers they have that came up through the WWE system and isn't an indy darling.

MassRafTer posted:Bray was very unique when he came up and after the novelty wore off, his reactions did. His promos were samey, long and dull and his matches were rarely good. This isn't all his fault, but the guy was death on the microphone for a long time. 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.

SamuraiFoochs posted:It's awful, it sucks, and it needs to stop. It''s been like this for over 3 years and it's all because of Roman. People need to realize this, accept it, and stop justifying it. It's the worst thing in WWE and has been for years and yes I'm including Roman. I can't help but love the end of tonight, where Reigns is lying on the mat enjoying the laziest blade job as the announcers try to sell the 'murdered face' silence... and the crowd chants THANK YOU STROWMAN.

Feels Villeneuve posted:like Dave said, it's not like there's a Daniel Bryan in the roster getting massive reactions and not getting pushed. Both Seth and Finn clearly are getting pushed but they aren't setting the crowd on fire. Ditto Joe and Sami. Why the gently caress would anyone get excited for Sami Zayn in 2017? I love his work to death, and think he's great at the job, but his booking has been so consistently hosed that cheering for him is pointless because he's just going to lose. He only gets beat up so they can make a heel look good by kicking his rear end, and that stops being effective when it becomes clear the face is a jobber.

Chris James 2 posted:WWE fans genuinely think Ronda didn't just bomb out of the UFC in the most visible way possible and that her stock is still high It's this. Most WWE fans don't really grasp just how embarrassingly bad Ronda's last fight was, thanks to the Olympic level judoka listening to her retarded boyfriend and trying to out box an opponent and not grapple.

Exactly. Of course, they're balls deep on Brock despite him being done in the UFC as well after this last failed drug test, so it follows.

Venomous posted:Honestly, if I were Bayley right now, I'd be petitioning hard to Vince to let her go back down to NXT where she was well written and not used badly. Same with Finn. I'm pretty sure Finn at this point just takes his paychecks and pretends he's someone's admin assistant when the other wrestlers get recognized outside of the show.

bradzilla posted:It's so cute when people think that the wrestlers care about how they're booked first, and their paycheck second. Just a thought, but consistent terrible booking hurts a performer's future career prospects in an industry where contract negotiations and revenue from merch sales are based on popularity.

Aphrodite posted:In the first episode Nakamura caught Sasha when she went for a dive on him, then gently placed her on the apron. That’s the most they’ve allowed. They did the 'other woman knocks Alexa off the apron' spot last week too, but given that she is a tiny human being and landed on Braun, I don't think that counts as violence.
