It bothers me when they're either champions or contenders to titles.

Champions sure. Contenders I figure are fair game.....as long as they're trading losses with other contenders. A contender jobbing to a mid-carder (at least one who isn't being elevated)....now THAT'S a different story

 

[klunderbunker]

I get that but I have an issue with believing a guy is hot enough to get a shot if he's losing on TV before then. Don't put him in matches like that and it's not an issue.

Could Rock vs Cena II been done at Survivor Series or SummerSlam leaving Cena vs Punk open for Mania 29?

 

[klunderbunker]

It would depend on a lot of things but it's not impossible.

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

Was the Arn Anderson in my avatar ever in this good of shape?

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Do you see Cena losing at TLC just so we actually have someone else face Lesnar again? If so, who do you think it will be? They could easily pull off a hot, returning face Orton.

I wish they would but I can't see it happening.

Why do you think WWE are adamant at only having Cena face Lesnar. I mean wouldn't it make more sense for Lesnar to run through different people instead of the same one over and over

 

[klunderbunker]

Vince addressed this last night and said you can oly have Lesnar beat up so many people before it gets repetitive. I'm not sure I buy that but there's something to the idea.

 

[Alex]

I see the point (Rusev) but Brock is so rarely on tv that I don't think it would matter a lot.

 

[klunderbunker]

I could see it more often if they had him fighting every month, but in the over two and a half years he's been back, he's fought three matches against someone not named Cena or HHH. That's a bit absurd, especially when one was against Big Show.

 

[Alex]

Which ironically is even more of a reason to have Lesnar face other people. Because he shows up so rarely him always facing Cena or Triple H isn't going to excite anyone because we've seen it before.

I'm more concerned over guys like Cesaro who are suddenly losing ten matches in a row and end up completely devalued. It's one thing for a guy to trade wins with someone else who's on his level, it's something else entirely when he's jobbing out to everyone on the roster.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah that's not good either. They have such a packed roster and guys can't get on TV. If nothing else, bring in jobbers.

Personally, when I analysed it... the WWE have actually handled Cesaro brilliantly(assuming he will eventually get a push when the current "push" guys have reached the top).

He still gets that occasional one-on-one match where he puts on a clinic of sorts and gets the crowd behind him, which are the kind of performances that help keep him in the fans' minds.
However, given the WWE aren't ready to push him, he also jobs quite a bit, which help keep his momentum to a level where the crowd don't get behind him in a big way.


Let's take this Cesaro convo up come SummerSlam 2015...and we'll see what his situation is then, because I feel Vince was spewing BS about Cesaro in the podcast interview...

Hmm... I see why they have Cena be beaten by Lesnar so much, since besides him, only Reigns, basically has the kind of strong booking required for someone to be a believable threat to Lesnar.


That said; you'd think that they'd at least let Orton get a try, given he does still have that Mania rematch and him facing Lesnar would be something fresh as well.


Beyond that, ye, I don't see anyone else worthy of facing Brock anyways. Regardless of what some 'smarks' believe, there are very few legit challengers on the current full-time roster...

That makes sense in theory but it rarely adds up that way.

Yeah it's not that strong. I could go for Sheamus vs. Lesnar though.

On Sheamus;
Think a heel turn is coming soon for him? Or will the Big Show, Henry heel turns mean that he stays face for a while longer?
I really feel him turning heel would be good given that we could potentially have a crowded Babyface roster come post-Mania...Bryan, Cena, Reigns, Ambrose, Ziggler, Ryback possibly BNB as well.

 

[klunderbunker]

They might be but he needs to actually do something no matter which side he's on.

 

[L@RISANO]

I find it hilarious that Triple H's words have really worked the 'smarks' especially. So many people claiming they 'want' the Authority back after complaining about them for so long.... some people are really fickle nowadays, aren't they?

 

[klunderbunker]

It's not just nowadays chum.

 

[Bockwinkel's Class]

It's not just nowadays chum.

Truth is, from everything I've seen from my time here, dropping the S from "smarks" would provide a more accurate description

 

[klunderbunker]

That's how Shane Douglas described it once.

 

[L@RISANO]

Ziggler has been given the final pin in the Main Events for the past couple weeks including Survivor Series. However, he seems to only be feutured with Cena by his side as mostly a foil.

Is he basically being pushed as a Placeholder until Orton and Reigns return or do you think the WWE has bigger plans than IC title bouts for him?



Edit: Ryback also seems to be in a similar position also.


Seems the WWE are unwilling to go all out for either guy in a solo fashion.

 

[klunderbunker]

Placeholder for now.
