You have to think Gallows and Anderson are probably looking at heading back too given how dead the club is

They moved to MAKE GREEN, BROSKI and also be closer to their hot asian wives, so they're probably fine with being booked like crap. They got the tag titles, got to go to Mania with them. They're probably fine Too Sweetin' and cashing the checks until their contracts run out. Plus, Karl Anderson is 37.

Ahem get it right this forum hates minorities in general, just look at the reaction from PSP management to 'does steroids and injures opponents' Brock Lesnar and 'at least looks the part of a white guy while injuring opponents' Seth Rollins vs. when Jinder Mahal does the same white guy things they do.

I mean I dunno about you guys but I'd be COMPLETELY down for Roman Reigns if he was a white guy named Bill.

Make Bailey feud with Stephanie McMahon. The feud ends with Bailey's catastrophic loss at the next Wrestlemania, and then Bray Wyatt comes out and they hug and cry.

Maybe, and this is a longshot, here.

NXT is just better at getting talent over than the main roster and the main roster's standards and practices are the nonsense of a 70 year old man whose brain has been fried by steroids.

All the talent is to blame for WWE being bad because despite having eyes and brains they haven't figured out that the only way things will be good is banding together to unionize or oust the McMahons and their yesmen or just borrow some guns from HBK and Brock then take over the company violently.

Not being ironic either something needs to be done about Vince and his family because they're driving this boat not towards an iceberg but rather they're on a collision course with loving Antarctica.

He has gone for it at least once, he started to set Sami up for it and Graves pointed out that he was looking for the Muscle Buster.

So it's either super break-glass-in-case-of-emergency tier like the Avalanche AA or the Red Arrow, or it's look-but-don't-touch tier like the Punt.

Bray had a cool entrance in House of Horrors where he sold his rear end off on the way to the ring and it got to the banjo solo part of his theme song and y'know what. I appreciated that. Bray made me believe that he had just been through hell and could barely drag himself to the ring and just for a minute I bought the whole stupid enterprise.

Basically all of Owens' title defenses were loving awesome must see matches. You can say a lot about that run, but you can't impugn Owens' efforts in the slightest, dude fuckin' brought it every single time. The only exception I can think of is RoadblockENDOFTHELINE.

Like, if the match he had with Rollins on Raw isn't must-see, nothin' is.

The Goldberg match, obviously not. The HIAC match, wasn't even the best HIAC match on that card. Roadblock had that stupid finish, Rumble match was good but again wouldn't say it was the best match on the card (Styles/Cena being there admittedly makes that unfair)

I might have just missed the Rollins Raw match (I'll be the first to say lol if you watch every Raw, and there's almost certainly been at least one great thing I've skipped of the many just by sheer law of averages) but everything else, to me, doesn't seem like something I'd put on a Best of the year list. The Jericho feud was great but that was after the world title was out of the picture

Yeah the Goldberg match is :lol:, I thought the HIAC match was the best on that card and neither of the other two were anything special, but different strokes. Roadblock did have a terrible goddamn finish, but that's not on Owens.

The Raw match was November 21st, the day after Survivor Series. It's on the Network under Raw replays, if you haven't seen it, I'd strongly recommend it.

I mean I'll be the first to say that Owens' run with the Universal title was lame because he just could never beat anybody cleanly and if all of those gently caress finishes hurts the matches for you, that's a pretty defensible position to have (I really hated the Roadblock finish). But Owens' work in all of those matches, five title defenses in total, was all really great and all worth seeing.

What HHH says and what he does when he talks about this thing often contradict each other, to the point where I'm a little convinced he's lying because it's the company line.
