mcafee most recently was whining that a football player who is swinging helmets at other football player's heads should not be at risk of punishment because they were doing it in a pre-season practice rather than the regular season

tbf thats literally the NFL policy on preseason, they don't suspend/punish stuff that occurs during the preseason scraps

(I obviously disagree with the NFL rule)

This looks like something you'd see in a sitcom episode where the main characters somehow get roped into doing a wrestling match and they have no idea what they're doing but somehow win

This post reminds me of the Always Sunny episode with Roddy Piper where Frank wins the match by throwing a trash can at Cricket and slicing his neck open lol

all i want is for them to bring DX back. The whole idea of DX literally being the bosses of the company now has so much potential when you think of all the fun kafaybe stuff.

I know HHH and Shawn can't wrestle but they could get some wrestlers to represent DX in the ring (call em the Degeneration neXt) and have crazy fun storylines*

the way roman talks on twitter makes him sound like he's really up his own rear end about this needle mover head of the table thing and that's hilarious because he's the only guy wwe has pushed since cena so of course he's got a record breaking championship reign

acknowledge me as the scripted champion for a fake sport for too long because the company has nobody else to take my place

My problem with Roman is that he doesnt have a gimmick to make him an interesting gimmick character and he doesn't have the personality/showmanship to make himself interesting as a character.

I think he's a great wrestler and technically impressive and I think he deserves credit for getting where he is today. But he is just committing the biggest sin a wrestler, especially a hell, can commit which is being BORING

I agree with everything you say, but would make a small nit-picky change.

I would change "boring" to "joyless"

Roman is no fun. I know that's his character, but there is a way to play the "Grr, Arrgh, I am a serious angry boi" that is entertaining and fun. Roman Reigns does not have the charisma to do that.

Very well said, that's exactly it i couldnt quite put my finger on it. By this time im just burned out on him but hed be much more tolerable if he had an actual attitude

logan paul being the one to finally defeat roman would be perfect and I hope they do it

I'd agree except I don't really like how he got pushed so fast because of his celebrity power moreso than his technical wrestling/character (not to say he isn't talented, but he certainly wouldn't be where he is without his last name). I feel the same way about Rousey.

His older brother Jake is actually a decent boxer who takes the sport seriously, but again, he's selling out PPV's bc of his celebrity not his talent and while I appreciate the income/interest it generates, it does make me worry that wrestling (or in Jake's case, boxing), will start promoting celebrities over the dudes who have worked their entire lives towards getting into WWE/another combat sport promotion.

Imo Jake and Logan should have had to start at the bottom of boxing/WWE respectively, but I understand their $$$ making power pushes them up.

Maybe I'm thinking too much into it.

Those are all good points. It's kinda silly of me to expect meritocracy from sports enterainment as opposed to a sport. I think my point still applies to Jake, however.

For sure, I agree. I think my problem is less wirh Logan Paul specifically, as I said he's actually talented, but more concern that the trend of enlisting celebrities rather than building up one's own roster/character will become a larger trend.

You should look at wrestling that isn't WWE and you'd find what you're looking for.

I agree especially since Taker and Mankind already did "thrown off the top of the cage" so iconic that anyone else doing it will be seen as a copy/lesser version, so might as well keep em inside the cage for the "you cant escape!" vibe

Either Nash or Foley was talking on a podcast about how you never want your character to be an occupation (remember Isaac Yankem?)

I was rewatching Razor vs. IRS and it's really true. The wrestling is fine but there's just no real heat or interesting bc "IM THE IRS PAY YOUR TAXES" is as boring as sin.

Undertaker is the only "occupation' character I can think of that works but I also think he's an occupation character in name only.

I don't like it on the principle of encouraging storylines through social media, I wanna be able to follow everything by just watching the shows not having to follow social media too. Obviously this is a small irrelevant thing but I fear it'll encourage more.

Then again maybe I'm just refusing to face the reality of the world we live in and how entertainment has evolved.
