Roman has crazy physical presence, but he has mic skills on he level of Goldberg. How they never thought to give him a manager before strapping the rocket to his back is beyond me.

Just do what I do and watch old matches on Youtube until something new pops up on the TV.
Would love to see Daniel Bryan as commissioner of Smackdown.

A face GM would be a nice change of pace from the McMahon family drama.

Vince: "No one is aware of my decision. Not even Me. I might change my mind."
Sounds just like Vince and his constant changing of RAW bookin plans. He probably legit doesn't know.
Vince cancels the entire Brand Split just because. Then he re-smashes the picture of him and Shane before getting crushed by a Million Dollar Mania sign.
Well, tbf, both Bryan and Punk had the opportunity to work top feuds with the absolute top guys.
The SHIELD guys have always been portrayed like kids when put against the Part-Timers/Top Guys, lMO, so it is no surprise that they don't look at such a level or even close.

WWE tried to portray Roman Reigns as everyone except Roman Reigns. They tried to push and portray him like Cena and it didn't work. Then they tried to push and portray him like Bryan and it didn't work. I saw glimpses of Roman Reigns but it was never consistent.

I'm still trying to figure out what was in Shane's lock box.
Roman Reigns existed as Roman Reigns for like 3 weeks, from TLC 2015 to a couple RAWs later, then he went back to being John Cena/ Daniel Bryan and got booed out the building again as a result.

The Commissioner of Smackdown is inside.

Roman as Brock Lesnar lite probably could have worked. I'm not saying he should have been a Heyman guy, but an Alejandro Aromondo Estrada guy? I could see that working.

If neither John or Brock are the best decision for world champion, then just go with Randy Orton. It's been some time since he's held the title.
Either him or Bray Wyatt. Bray as champion would be really interesting.

Why can't both Reigns and Lesnar work as Brock Lesnar guys, and actually allow some organic animosity to fester between them so that when Brock's contract is up, he can put over Reigns in a feud that doesn't seem forced?

And with a two or three month run of squishes, you could absolutely put Rusev on that level. Dude has a ton of natural charisma, even with the shit storylines he's been given.

I agree, though the night after TLC he got slapped by Steph and kicked in the balls by Vince. Even during that brief moment of clarity they were screwing up.
I'd try AJ Styles.

The only person Heyman works well with is Lesnar. Everybody else they've ever tried to give him, even Punk, was hot garbage.
I'm saying Estrada because there's family history there. They could just go with the Bloodline as a stable because the Usos could use some mic help.

You could probably make a DVD dedicated to matches where JBL's hat has been stolen.

He's got an accent, but Nakamura is pretty fluent in English.
