    It's the main roster that fucks everything up.

    And the situations everybody's in doesn't help leading up to Mania at least.

    The top 3 matches are Reigns/Brock (one of whom is now hated by the audience, and the other won't be on half the shows between now and then), HHH/Sting (one of whom may physically show up one more time between now and then), and Bray/Taker (one of whom won't be on TV at all between now and then)

    Reigns isn't really "now hated by the audience". He's hated by a lot of longtime fans who care about the backstage politics and booking. As people point out, his boos are loud and deep but he seems pretty over with the same fans who love Cena.

    No joke, I immediately feel better and more awesome no matter what is going on around me.

    That music is crazy good.

    He's going to rip that thing off and throw it against the wall when someone tells him he doesn't have complete control over virtual reality.

    I'm just assuming he's watching Cena v Cena with Cena as special guest referee. He will never take it off.

    Sorry but Finn needs to show some respect towards THE Brian Kendrick.

    And regarding the main roster Divas division I'm interested to see what happens. Hope Nattie and Naomi got decent time tonight.

    Ahaha Drake is just giggling like a little girl at Brian Kendrick's entrance.

    Referee Drake Younger is seriously the best thing.

    Sadly I think Reigns will be mostly booed from now up to Mania. As I said they just need to come out and admit Brock is gone for good after his match with Roman. Sure it'd kill all intrigue but there's a better chance the crowd reaction would reverse.

    Shit, even if Brock isn't gone for good after Mania just lie and say he is.

    Im really glad they're broadening the Becky Lynch character. She seems to do less handbanging and her outfit isn't so obviously 2006 Dropkick Murphy's irish punk. She's my favorite WWE Women's Wrestler I think.

  • wirehead26wirehead26 Registered User regular
    It would honestly surprise me if Roman got consistently positive reactions from now on.

    the stuff with Sting and Orton will have interesting payoffs

    Rollins and Lesnar put on amazing matches

    they are in a good place on the heel side

    it's the faces and women that get terrible booking not just for kayfabe reasons that is what is dulling the product

    like the only good segments lately have been Ambrose and Sandow

    Just got a message from WWE that there's going to be a multi-man IC title match at Mania. That could be good.

    Even Ambrose's segments have gotten stale honestly. I just keep coming back to the fact that the real problem is they are booking a way where every incredibly long show is ultimately stalling for the more important even longer show and most of the time when we get to that show it just wraps up the first part of a longer story that we're already tired of.

    They don't seem to want people going over clean until it is "important" and they are getting closer and closer to feeling like the only really important events are Summerslam and Mania. So if those events disappoint you feel like you've wasted a year.

    It's also a ladder match. I'm perfectly fine with that.

    In way more boring news the network seems to have added PIN enabled parental controls. Means nothing for most of us but it's good to see them positioning the network as just another service a family could have instead of something for diehards and adult fans.

    So we could see Cena, Bryan, and Reigns holding the three singles belts coming out of Mania.

    If it keeps up I wouldn't be surprised if Roman turns heel and teams up with Heyman considering how Heyman has done nothing but sing his praises since after mania.

    In fact I would lean heavily towards this If brock is leaving.

  • stevemarks44stevemarks44 Registered User regular
    I think one of the better moves the WWE could make is not only elevate the lesser belts, but elevate the number one contender status.

    I'm so tired of knowing that with the exception of the big PPVS, you're 9 times out of 10 gonna see the same matches two months in a row if not more. When you lose, you shouldn't automatically be number one contender. You can even keep the rematch clause but they cant cash it in for 30 days or whatever.

    They just need to keep the matchups fresh and the stories moving. It would help SO much and require them to change SO little.

    Reigns definitely needs a manager for now

    Rey has had a long, illustrious WWE career with multiple championships and main events. However his knees are about to fall off and he refuses to hang it up.

    The only depressing thing is the latter statement.

  • stevemarks44stevemarks44 Registered User regular
    For some reason that thought hadn't even entered my mind but Heyman teaming up with Reigns could be a net positive.

    Also he's been trying to get out of his contract early for a while so it's all good on his side.

    OK so Nattie and Naomi had a good match just now. It was short, around 3 minutes, but they packed a lot of cool stuff into the time frame. Both the respective tag teams got into it outside which was distracting but it didn't lead to a roll up out of nowhere or anything.

    That's better than 30 seconds but a 3 minute match with fights going on outside the ring isn't good
