Believes in The Shield!
Right before the turn of a new era, the WWE gave the fans of the Attitude era one of the greatest swerves that could possibly happen. Stone Cold was ran down and put out of action... But it wasn't by the usual main eventers like The Rock, Triple H, Kurt Angle, or the like. No, the rundown came from the unexpected Rikishi, who after doing so, became known as "The Bad Man"... a blatant take on "The Bad Guy" but whatever.
For me, this time was THE moment for WWE to break Rikishi away from his dancing ways and make him out to be a full fledged main eventer. And he even had the prowess to make him a believable champion. But somewhere along the lines, Rikishi got lost in the shuffle and he got taken out of the main event.
My question to you is, did WWE drop the ball there?
IMO, he was so over as a heel when he ran down Austin and he played up to the buddy-buddy of Triple H pretty damn well.. so why didn't WWE pull the trigger and let him run? Were they afraid that he would catch an arrogance problem kin to the Big Show's when he first debuted? What do you think?
