Well the issue you bring up is actually a two-pronged issue, because on one hand we're talking about in-ring ability but on the other we talk about NXT call-up development. To answer your main question, the title of the thread, I'll say yes it is possible (albeit highly unlikely) to get over by...

First post in years: I think Seth Rollins is great. As a matter of fact, I think he's better than great, I think he's the top performer in the biz. In my experiences, I've come to know the IWC as a group of people that yearns for change. We talk about Brock being a part-time champ and how we...

I guess I'm in the minority here but I'll still voice my opinion: the only good thing about this tag team is that it has guaranteed that Cesaro has a weekly spot on the show. In Cesaro we have a main event performer who cannot talk for shit and apparently isn't popular with Vince so I was very...

I Bolieve in Bo Dallas. I will fight to the grave to prove that it is WWE, not Bo Dallas, who is to blame for his current predicament. He was like 12-Bo when they randomly made him lose to R-Truth!!! The way to do it isn't hard at all - back when he was undefeated everyone on this forum was...

I see a lot of posters trying to make arguments for WrestleManias 28 and 29. From a career trajectory standpoint, 28 would've made the most sense because he was so popular so over and riding the wave of momentum from the "Summer of Punk". This year was Daniel Bryan's WM30, if you will. The only...

Orton has been pinned clean on ppv by the likes of Dolph Ziggler, Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston, and JACK SWAGGER. If that list doesn't scream midcard talent then I don't know what will. This is a guy who ended his good title reign to give Mark Henry a charity title run and lost to KANE (a guy...

i agree with the OP's belief that there are multiple scenarios in which a Women's match can main event or co-main event wrestling. Most people will argue it's a male-dominated business and all that but is that really because women can't draw or is it because they have never been given a...

For 8 (more like 7 and a half) years I've been impatiently waiting for Jeff Hardy to return to WWE. When he left he was the single most popular wrestler in the industry and on top of the world. While I never cared for Matt's singles runs, I have no problem giving credit where credit is due and...

WrestleMania 31 is one of my favorite WrestleManias of all time. It may not necessarily be on everyone's list for best WM ever the way WM17 is, but WWE def knew their audience this year and gave a little something for everyone. As a matter of fact, in that respect, WM31 may actually be one of...

Ah, I was going to make a thread about this but you beat me to it! I think Southpaw Regional Wrestling is one of the most interesting things I've seen WWE produce in the last 10 years and is a great way to have already established names reinvent themselves. In 4 short YouTube videos they did a...

So many brilliant points, witty remarks, and interesting tidbits all in one post. Good job OP. I'll choose to both acknowledge a major argument and then answer that final question: RAW has more bankable stars but lacks depth, SD has more guys but lacks star power. If you ask me, that is the...

I think a lot of the other posters already said this, but I want to reiterate: Dean Ambrose is one of the most over guys on the entire WWE roster. The fact that he is not the next SCSA or John Cena isn't a disappointment at all and I'm not entirely sure who was expecting him to be those guys...

I truly believe it was the perfect balance of statistical knowledge and unbridled passion that made JR such a legendary commentator. IMO stats are very important when it comes to telling the whole story and building the drama for the event; the problem with today's WWE and the delivery of...

I wanted to make a post but I see Dagger Dias has pretty much hit the nail on the head, there's not much more that needs to be said. Shaq is a literally huge Hall of Fame athlete who has been entertaining this country since I was born. Big Show is also a literally huge Hall of Fame athlete who...

I think it would be hard to find someone who doesn't agree with the notion that Shawn Michaels could've won the title several times after his 2002 return. He was absolutely deserving but much to his credit it didn't affect his popularity at all. For a specific HBK storyline that could've been...
