What are we really Mad About?

[whoopin' ass]

It is the way things are handled. I don't think anyone has issues with Reigns becoming champ - down the road. Right now, there are a ton of guys that the fans are behind - not just Bryan but also guys like Ziggler - that they would rather see as champ. And we know that if they are not going to make them champ now, it won't matter down the road. We have seen it with guys like Kofi where the fans are behind them and the wwe just keeps ignoring it and eventually they lose momentum. The fans don't want Reigns right now, they want Bryan. Honestly though, the wwe universe really has no one to blame but themselves. They have gone along with everything wwe has asked of them so why should wwe change now? When fans were complaining about how Punk was being treated as champ, the universe said "they have a plan, let it play out" and it did, horribly. Instead of making a fuss, they let things slide so the point where wwe just doesn't care what the fans say as long as they keep spending the money.

Nothing really. I have been on the Internet since 96 and can tell you point blank that unhappy people flock to it. There were just as many if not more unhappy people during the Attitude Era.

The people that post on wrestling MB's are such a small minority that they really don't matter and that really pisses people off. The casual fan will always show up which is why the WWE will always have a fan base. If every person here stopped giving WWE money and stopped watching, it wouldn't even make a dent.

It took Vince to the point of where his company might not exist anymore to make changes. Well now there is no more competition so how long do you think it takes for him to change now? Not going to happen. He will continue to cater to the people that line his pockets.

What's up everyone:

I've Been meaning to post this since last week, but finally getting to it. I want to know what are we really mad about concerning the Royal Rumble? Is it the fact that Roman Reigns won the rumble? or was it the way that WWE set it up for Roman Reigns to win by getting rid of Daniel Bryan Early?

Honestly I point the finger towards WWE and blame the result on how WWE set it up for Reigns to win the rumble. Fans were just cheering for Roman Reigns on Smackdown and then when Daniel Bryan got eliminated way too early, the world just turned against him.

I'm pretty sure if Daniel Bryan would've stuck around in the rumble, and it came down to him and Roman Reigns, Bray Wyatt, and Dean Ambrose, rather than Reigns vs. Kane and Big Show and the field narrow down to Bryan and Reigns, then if he would've won, then it wouldn't of gotten such a negative reaction. A lot of good guys gotten booed because of WWE's decision to have Bryan eliminated early from the Royal Rumble.

WWE basically told us way early into the match who was going to win. Hello WWE everyone got access to the spoilers and other than Bubba Ray Dudley being a surprised entrant into the Royal Rumble, the Royal Rumble was a bust. And one of the big 4 pay per views is surely losing it's integrity. This is the 2nd year in the role that fans were outraged about the Rumble. And honestly I thought about getting the Pay Per View on the WWE Network but thank God I didn't get it. The Royal Rumble and WWE is getting too predictable and is not the same anymore.

But I'm not mad at Roman Reigns winning the Rumble, I'm just mad at how it was done. What are your thoughts?

I'm content with the WWE. They're taking a chance instead of sticking to what they know (Cena).

Yes, Reigns winning felt like Batista won last year but at the same time it's a new face in the main event and an opportunity for everybody to step up.

I have a great idea on how to save Reigns' Career and still stick with the Reigns vs Lesnar main event.

Step 1 : Have Lesnar beat a Ambrose or anyone els at Fast lane.

Step 2 : Have Rollins cash in and win at Fast lane.

Step 3 : Give Reigns a Storyline injury by the hands of Big show and Kane after Fastlane.

Step 4 : Have a Battle Royal or Tournament for the #1 Conterdership at Wrestlemainia.

Step 5 : Have Rollins Feud with the winner ie :Ziggler or Bryan for the WWE Championship at Wrestlemainia.

Step 6 : Have Reigns return when people start missing him like at summer slam or something like that.

Result : People get what they want Bryan or Ziggler at wrestlemainia.

Lesnar is saved for Reigns.

Boom whatyall think ?

There are a just a couple of bumps in the road here. First of all I don't think Lesnar will be defending the title at Fastlane, at least he isn't booked to as of right now, so Rollins cashing in won't happen. So that takes care of steps 1 and 2.

Why would you give Reigns a storyline injury and keep him out till Summerslam? Isn't the idea for him to get more experience? If he out till then, that's almost a year since he went into singles competition and hardly wrestled.

Lastly, Lesnar is supposed to be leaving after Mania, so he won't be around for Summerslam if Reigns where to get injured.

 

[InZayn]

I know thats not happening but i was just saying what in i though.

Also the reason why Roman would get an injury is because hes getting alot of heat because of the RR and having him leave for a while would cool the heat down and whats happining to him right now is what happend to batista last year so if the WWE wants to keep him as a face they'd have to find a way for people to forget about him winning for a while or els Roman would turn into.a Batista.

 

[ColeMc]

I don't mind that Reigns won, but I think they didn't look ahead and see Reigns v Lesnar as the trainwreck it appears to be. If they wanted Reigns in the main event, they needed a different champ and I think either Cena or Rollins are entirely capable of leading the match. I just think they'll lose the crowd worse than they lost it at the Rumble.

If DB comes back, wins the rumble and goes onto WM against Lesnar, do people really think that's better? Brock is a tank and kayfabe only stretches so far when you'll see DB standing next to him. In this case, as in most cases, size does matter.

No, it doesn't. Did it matter when it was Rey Mysterio beating The Big Show? Or Bret Hart beating Yokozuna? Or HBK beating Vader? What matters is that it's WrestleMania, and the fans don't want to see Roman Reigns headline it. The only people they wanted were Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler, or Dean Ambrose. Daniel Bryan is going to put asses in those seats, Roman Reigns won't. And you're telling me that you'll "believe" that Roman Reigns can out-FIGHT Brock Lesnar, but Daniel Bryan can't out-WRESTLE Brock Lesnar? Bryan can out-wrestle Lesnar with his eyes closed.

You are aware though aren't you that the tickets for Mania went on sale a couple of months ago. Fans come from all around the world to see this show and they have to book time off work, flights, hotels, cars etc. So it doesn't matter who ends up in the main event or even who's on the card, the asses are already in the seats.

You just have to hope to if you've paid a lot of money it's something worth paying it for.

 

[Aquaman6686]

I wasn't talking about LITERALLY putting asses in the seats specifically for WrestleMania, I meant it metaphorically. There are only a few people who actually draw money and who fans pay to see. Guys like John Cena, Randy Orton, and Daniel Bryan DRAW MONEY. Part-timers like Undertaker, Chris Jericho, and even though I despise him, Brock Lesnar, DRAW MONEY. Roman Reigns does not. Does he have the potential to be one of those guys someday? Honestly, yeah I think he does. But he's nowhere NEAR that level. Roman Reigns as a top guy right NOW, in 2015, will damage WWE at a financial level.

 

[rge2010]

Remember the last time Reigns and Rock shared a ring? Rumble 2013 when he put Rock through a table. Now best buddies...about 1% of folk picked up on that!

WWE fans are treat stupid because they are stupid. Like Vince says 'they will forget'.

You are kidding, right? Brock Lesnar is a former NCAA wrestling champion. He's the fastest superheavyweight in wrestling history. He's a monster. Because Bryan can do a missle dropkick that makes him a better wrestler? Lesnar is in a category all by himself. He's a beast that tosses grown men around like children and he has the ability to do a shooting star press that he hit every time, but against Angle at 'Mania. And that was a 5 star match.

And all of that matters how? I thought we are in pro-wrestling forum discussing pro-wrestling. Okay, fine. Bryan is not qualified. Let's see Reigns credentials. Uhhhh....mmmmm...former WWE tag team champion. Former football player. And?

WWE history is filled with David and Goliath feuds. This might be the best. It may never happen though.

My issue was with him saying Bryan could outwrestle Lesnar with his eyes closed. The comment was absurd based on Lesnar's ability and background.

Personally, I'd rather see Bryan v. Lesnar than Reigns. I think it would be a fun match and I'd have no problem with Bryan going over. But we know that it's not going to happen because the WWE decided Reigns was going to be the man. Now it's up to the fans to decide in the long run whether that will happen. Time will tell.
