Yep. That's what most people were wanting to see but we got the opposite instead.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Because that's a really complicated plan

 

[Poop Master Flex]

Yeah I know but I find it quite surprising that WWE seemingly doesn't see it. It seems like the most popular performers within the last 5 years not named Cena didn't get fully accepted until they had a great heel run. Punk and Bryan are perfect examples of this as even though they did good face work it wasn't until they turned heel that the fans as a whole started getting behind them and the same could be said for Rollins as well.

I guess what I'm saying is so many fans seem to shit on possible top talent because they either think they aren't talented enough or they don't like the fact creative has big plans for them. It seems like if they understood that line of thinking they could easily use it against the fans to get the results they wanted. Reigns has the talent but I think a lot of people simply aren't giving him a chance, this seems like a simple way to get past that.

Is there a reason why on all the wwe match up screens the faces are on the left and the heels are on the right? Unless this isn't always the case and I'm just noticing a bunch of coincidences

 

[klunderbunker]

It's usually the case. They have one way of shooting things and they keep it that way.

IYO opinion has WWE screwed themselves with the whole Reigns chasing the title moment at WM? For Reigns to have that moment at WM he had to be screwed by his "brother" so that Reigns is shown as the top guy from "The Shield". I have thought since Royal Rumble WWE had to build Reigns Chase similar to Undertaker's chase at WM 13. Why was Reigns smiling last night the very day after he got screwed. Just plain dumb of VKM not knowing what fans expectations are. Nobody ever smiles after they get railroaded out of something!

Over these last couple of years do you think VKM would be doing some of this stuff if he had realistic wrestling competition

How long does Sheamus keep the title? Even if Reigns beats him at WM it will seem like the least fan pop for a face title victory at that event

Why doesn't WWE build their character like UFC Persona. So many people who use to work for Vince have stated that the era of the cookie cutter has been over since 1995. How much are the sponsors prohibiting certain edgy story lines.

IMO Paige RAW Promo should of been saved for a future RAW after she loses a few times to Charlotte to try to manipulate Charlotte into another re-match. The ending of that match at SSeries made zero sense. Only a few times in that match did Charlotte look aggressive based off of the promo. IMO Paige should of won by DQ because Charlotte would refuse to let go the Figure Eight when Paige is in the ropes.

 

[klunderbunker]

Probably not no.

I can't imagine it's past the Rumble.

Quite a bit probably, especially Mattel, but that's way better in the long run.

Is it time to go back to the drawing board in regards to the MITB contract?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'd prefer the scrap heap.

So with Reigns, WWE clearly wants him to get favorable reactions and I think the best way that WWE can accomplish this is by changing his character up a bit and then jobbing him out for a while, while releasing false reports to the dirt sheets that he is in the doghouse for speaking out against the direction of the company and that Vince doesn't see him as the future. It's guaranteed to work and with everything being all "Reality Era", a few leaks out to the Internet will get people re-thinking the "Roman is the Chosen One" narrative. With the right character direction and once he's been given the Bray Wyatt treatment and racked up some losses, the smarks are sure to come back around for him and it's the guy that WWE wants to push anyway so it's win win for both. If WWE wanted to try it, do you think something like this could work?

It's awful and ran its course about 5 years ago.

How big was Lou Thesz vs. Buddy Rogers for the NWA World Championship in Chicago 1950?

 

[Blue Chipper]

With all of the injuries and what have you, it would seem that the star power is at a low; there isn't a really big draw on the show it seems. My question: At what time in WWE history was the star power at its lowest and how was the quality of the product affected? Also, who were the top guys during this period?

Big. Like, big big.

Probably 1995.

Oddly enough, the Kliq.

Worldwide, how many people do you reckon watch Raw each week? And then on the Network and however else online?

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

We all know and can attest to Austin/McMahon being the greatest version of the rebel vs. underdog story of all time. There are plenty of imitators of course, but what is the second best version/iteration of this angle?

It's really, really hard to tell but it would be in the tens of millions.

Probably the NWO vs. WCW.

Releasing someone one day before Thanksgiving; douche, or no douche?

(FYI Brad Maddox got released. Feel bad about the guy, but let's be real, what was Brad Maddox going to do for WWE?)

 

[klunderbunker]

A bit douche yeah.

 

[Alex]

I'd prefer the scrap heap.

It's funny in ten years of it being around there's only been three different types of cash in. The wait for champion's match to finish and then cash in. RVD using it as a title shot and Seth Rollins cashing in mid match.

There's several scenarios that it could be used with (I've come up with a few) yet they still stick with 'Wait for champion's match to finish and then cash in' Why is that?

 

[klunderbunker]

Writers are lazy.

Will Daniel Bryan wrestle at WrestleMania 32?

 

[klunderbunker]

Very tentative yes.

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

How big was Buddy Rogers vs. Johnny Valentine in 1953 at the Madison Square Garden?

Is 1986 NWA: JCP one of the best ever years for the NWA?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not as big. Valentine was a star but not as huge.

Nah. The ending hurt it as Nikita wasn't a strong enough challenger, especially when Magnum needed to take the title.
