Please God let this culminate in Brandi coming out and cutting a promo on Heyman where she's the heel for completely inexplicable reasons

Remember when Bray Wyatt came back to spend like 6 months building up to a Mountain Dew commercial and then just noped the gently caress out the instant Vince came back

Realistically though what would an Edge/Christian tag run look like in 2024/25? What are they gonna do, wrestle the Usos and like....Maximum Male Models??

Orange Carlisle posted:it's rad that the only thing we'll remember a few years from now of cody's triumphant return home will be the codyvator getting stuck, his broken titty and a rubber chicken dunking on him after he jobbed out at wrestlemania Not that's not entirely fair. There's also the time Brock Lesnar buried him for like 10 straight minutes after making him look like the worlds biggest idiot.

Making a whole third world title as a consolation price for all the big idiot losers who can't beat Roman only to have Roman swoop in and win it anyway is the funniest possible option so I hope it happens

In kayfabe why wouldn't a brand just draft as many factions/tag teams as possible since you're getting like 2 to 5 people per draft pick?

Shaman Tank Spec posted:What's not interesting as such but sad and a bit funny is how the guy keeps going "back then WWE didn't care what fans wanted", "emblematic of a time when Vince McMahon just did what he wanted", "pushing Roman Reigns down everyone's throats" etc and I'm sitting here wondering about the past tense. Because from where I'm sitting they are extremely and very much STILL doing all those things. Lotta people have convinced themselves that HHH has completely changed every facet of the company overnight despite the facts that A) a lotta their worst practices are poo poo he'd have no control over anyway, B) Most of Vince's biggest stooges are still in the same positions doing the same poo poo as always or were replaced by guys like Road Dogg which is a lateral move at best, C) Vince is the guy who taught HHH everything he knows about running creative and D) Vince is still in charge and actively loving with everything anyway

To be fair WWE often has an internal list of "top babyfaces and heels" that you would never guess just by watching the actual show on tv. I'd heard recently they considered Karrion Kross the #2 Heel on Smackdown???

It's amazing that they introduced this belt and everyone called it a participation trophy for all the big dumb idiot babies who can't beat Roman and then WWE just immediately leans into it thus making it true

I mean AEW uses Pillars to refer to people who the future of the company will be build around so naturally WWE's four pillars are Roman Reigns, Ro Manreigns, Roma N. Reigns, and R. Reigns

RealityWarCriminal posted:that part is fine. it's more about their talent scouting system not being interested in anyone under 35. To be fair they'll gladly sign younger people they just need to send them down to the world class PC to make sure they have the brittle knees of a 35 year old by the time they hit the main roster

It's kinda wild that we're in a time where network/cable television is slowly dying but at the same time streaming, the thing that was supposed to replace it, feels like a bubble that's about to burst any minute now. There's like no security either way anymore.

It's actually kinda surprising he wasn't fired during Thunderdome era. Keep in mind Ali had already asked to be released so WWE naturally refused to fire him because everything they do has to be as petty and spiteful as possible
