OT: WWE/Pro Wrestling Thread: World WRoman Entertainment

[Machinehead]

I'd love to see WWE book a Dean/Roman feud with some god damn truth.

Have Roman turn heel. Have the authority align with him because they think he's the best choice to be the face of the company. It's the truth. Have Roman get on the mic and say "I don't need the fans, I'm the face of the company whether you like it or not." It's the truth.

Then have Dean come out and drop some real nasty truth on the mic: "I've always been better than Roman and everyone knows it, but I always come up just short because he's the company's golden boy. But the fact is Roman, you're not that good, and nobody likes you." And go from there.

Sure, it kicks the 4th wall a little bit, but so what? It's 2016.

Pipedream, I know. Most likely, Roman will be face superman forever, and Dean will be his brother forever, jobbing to him forever. And even if Dean turns on him, WWE will book it as a heel turn, which they shouldn't because Dean would get legendary pops turning on Roman. But they would.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

Dean Ambrose is such a wasted commodity. So much potential for storylines with his gimmick.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

Awful PPW. They had to put that **** in Cleveland to not have Roman get booed out of the f-ing building.

this. this is all they needed to do. and they failed to do it.

and Shane vs Taker?? you can tell literally every guy is injured.

 

[Machinehead]

Reigns bleeding horribly.

Crowd chants "this is awesome"

 

[BroadwayStorm]

I love when they chanted Golllllldbeeeerg and then they started with GILLLLLLLBEEEERG when ryback was in that horrible match. I was cracking up.

And how are you putting Shane McMahon against Undertaker at WM? What an ******* this Vince McMahon guy. You are gonna retire Taker in his home state with a non wrestler. **** you.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

No mention of Shane O'Mac

I'm disappointed in my HFNYR Bretheren.

you missed where I mentioned Shane vs Taker is due to everyone being injured

I used to do that whole hopping thing he does when he would come out. and i was totally waiting for the mean street posse to show up

 

[haohmaru]

WWE needs to pass the torch already - Shane vs. Undertaker? Who cares? HHH as champion again? Time for the next generation.

You are literally the only person that isn't excited about shane being back

Everyone is rooting for Triple H to beat the piss out of reigns, too.

 

[haohmaru]

That's too funny because I'm hoping Reigns wins the title. Figures.

2 46 year olds and a 50 year old in your "headlining" events. Yawn.

They're legends and everyone loves them and it's the biggest event of the year. Also, like half the main roster is injured, pretty simple.

Reigns meanwhile, gets shoved down everyones throats as superman and they are sick of it.

How's it feel to be a minority?

excited to have shane back for the potential storyline yes...excited to watch shane vs taker lol not even slightly. so awful

 

[Edge]

I don't think the problem is Reigns so much as how they've booked him.

I was watching Fastlane on Sunday and couldn't help but see similarities to Kevin Nash circa 1994/95.

When Diesel when out there and just beat the tar out of his opponents, people dug him. But then they tried to have him smile and be "friendly" and the fans didn't buy into that.

The challenge with Reigns is that they don't set him up to be a no frills ass kicker. They're trying to "humanize" him too much and it's having the opposite effect. They're trying to make him look too polished and too vulnerable. No one believes Reigns as a sympathetic underdog - there's nothing underdogish about him.

However, they would believe him as a guy who just goes out there and destroys unlikeable people. No weird posing afterwards, not looking for crowd approval before you do a move - just seek and destroy.

Reigns needs to be booked like Nash circa 1994 or Batista circa 2004.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

When I see Reigns he just looks stupid. He's dressed like a SWAT team reject and can't transition out of that SHIELD gimmick. Its boring. Dress him in a leather jacket or something. Dress him like a ****ing biker. It would be ten times better than that stupid bulletproof vest with those baggy pants and combat boots.

And please don't let him talk.

See he's just not the guy.

He's not. Ambrose and Rollins are 10x better.

Obviously not everyone. Don't get me wrong, I like(d) HHH, Undertaker, Shane, etc... but the WWE is a ****ing joke compared to what it used to be. All of their major players are passed their prime. You look back at the heyday of WCW/WWF and the core guys were all in their prime - Hart, Nash, Sting, Austin, Undertaker, Foley, DDP, Hogan, Steiner, Buff, Kane, Jericho, etc... Who are those guys now? Reigns and Lesner? Dudley Boyz are into their 40's, Sting is 56, Undertaker 50, HHH 46, Big Show is 44, Jericho 45, etc... And these are still the headliners. Where's the new blood?

And how can you hate on Reigns when he's the hardest working guy in the sport and especially after last night? It's not his fault they throw him out there all the time.

Minority? I don't give a ****. The WWE could, and should, be a lot better than what it's become.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Thoughts on Takeover Dallas?

I feel bad for people who didn't enjoy the Nak match as a 5 star masterpiece. I have rarely enjoyed a match, movie, game, or any piece of entertainment as much as I did that one match. I couldn't imagine living in a world where I was just meh about the match. It'd suck.

Not that i'd argue with anyone who says it wasn't one of the best matches ever. Just that I'm glad I was able to enjoy it as if it was because it made it that much better for me as a viewer. Wish i could enjoy every match the way I did that one.

I'm praying somehow he gets the callup on Monday for Smarkmania

Everyone with brain cells loved it over on the wrestling board. A+

 

[RangerBlues]

This will be the first Wrestlemania I have watched since my father died.
Having two boys 8 and 10 who have become infatuated with WWE in the last year.
The New Day is the best thing WWE has created in a long time.
Dean Ambrose is awesome. I would turn him into a heel and make him legendary.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

In watching some old Stone Cold Steve Austin clips, I always marveled at the incredible chemistry between Austin and the guy throwing him his beers.

I don't think they ever botched one ever LOL.

 

[Machinehead]

Have to work tomorrow night and really don't feel like I'm missing much.

Least excited I've been for Wrestlemania since 27 and 27 was a toilet fire so that's saying something.

I'm not against turning Dean heel, but he just can't do it against Roman. Just won't work. He'd get massive face pops. Satan himself could come out and screw Roman and would get a massive pop.

The problem with Reigns is mostly booking but he doesn't do himself many favors either. He has star quality in his appearance...but his monotone boring delivery on the mic just kills him. There's also that Rollins and Ambrose changed gear and reinvented themselves and he just kept being the same guy. Though...again...that's not really his call.

He's now simply the face of "this is who we picked deal with it" and has been since Bray Wyatt unceremoniously dumped Daniel Bryan out of the 2015 Rumble and everyone realized the brief moment of affecting who becomes a star had ended with a thud mid match.

People say it's because people think it's being handed to him...but it's more that the booking cheated too many corners. The audience never had anything to connect to him before they decided to strap the rocket to his back. Rock, Austin, Cena...they all were heels the audience came to see as cool and they turned them Babyface before the company did. They push Reigns out there and tell you "hey..He's the coolest guy!" And it doesn't work like that.

Last year they should have turned him and made him the heel entitled, hand picked champion of the Authority who killed everyone when the bell rang. It would have had enough truth to it that the audience would have believed and connected to him more and enough badass to it that by now they'd have what they wanted...people who like him.

Instead they wasted the year and people hate him more.
