Regarding them portraying Roman as a tweener I think that kinda got thrown out the window yesterday with the MAW segment.
Not really?

He can still be a douchebag who has the time to say hi to kids with cancer and get them Raw tickets
Not every character needs to be 100% asshole or 100% saint at all times, dude is still gonna be cutting I'M THE GUY I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHAT YOU HATERS THINK promos and being vaguely condescending to his challengers
Also Anderson and Gallows haven't really impressed me much since they've shown up
They did a good murderous run in debut but that Usos match was boring as shit and they are not good promo guys
Do not shackle them to Seth
Part of the problem is that there offense requires the crowd to root for the baby faces to overcome their offense and nobody cares about the Usos right now.

That is definitely part of it but their offense itself didn't really wow me at all
They were good when they debuted because it was out of nowhere and brutal
But in a 20ish minute match against the Usos they come across as super generic big strong guys

The rest of the problem being that Anderson and Gallows are boring as fuck.

Of all the guys who were in the last two G1s those two are the most boring.
Like, say what you will about Goto but the whole "literally a samurai" thing would have been so much more interesting in the context of WWE and he's a better wrestler.
Anderson's capable of having some good matches but it really has to be dragged out of him.
I'll reserve judgement for when they've had some matches with people the audience cares about.
So I read a theory that the guy Gallows and Anderson will end up following won't be Roman, AJ, or Finn.
It will be Seth Rollins.
I don't know whether I like that or not.
Won't happen if they continue to position BC as heels.
Seth is coming back to massive cheers. We know this. They aren't going to hook him up with a heel team when face Rollins vs. heel Roman is right there.
I mean, sure they could. But it would be stupid.

I'm a bit worried they're going to go for a SHOCKING SWERVE~! instead of, you know, a good resolution.
Watching some Anderson and Gallows stuff, I think the only reason they are as over as they are is that they were in NJPW.
Which is funny because they were proper Greta in New Japan.
Even in the context of the barren wasteland that is the IWGP heavyweight tag scene they weren't the best team at any point.

Wait, did that Raw crowd last night really try to start a boring chant during Sami vs Rusev?
What the fuck
Rusev is boring
what the fuck
There is nothing special about him in-ring, he comes off as just another big guy. He's boring
And his character has gone from 2010s version of the '80s foreign heel to a bunch of garbage with Ziggler to...part of a stable of 2010 versions of '80s foreign heels
Maybe now that LoN is seemingly no more they may finally do something interesting with him

Rusev is great when they let him be great.
Take a shot every time they say "The Power of Rusev!" though and you might die.
Rusev is a whole lot like Big E before The New Day, in that the real man is way more fun and interesting than the character they make him play. If he ever gets a chance to let his natural charisma shine through he will be a main eventer.

They are good thugs and Anderson can wrestle when called upon, but yeah...they need to get a face of the organization fast if they want this thing to have any kind of legs.
PwnanObrienHe's right, life sucks.Registered Userregular
The problem with Rusev is that his greatest strength is selling which doesn't really fit with the monster heel persona that propelled him to success. I kind of wish he'd adopt the Brock Lesnar or Minoru Suzuki school of selling wherein you start out unphased by all this pro wrestling bullshit then slowly the cracks start to form and this hulking brute is reeling in disbelief that they're losing like some sort of Fist of the North Star villain.
if you can watch this gif and not love rusev then I just don't understand you
I think the swaying back and forth before the stunner is my favorite part, add some chirpy birds over his head and he's completed his transformation into literally a street fighter II character

They don't put the MAW kids on TV with Cena and Hunter.
Or have they?

Del Rio getting out of the way of that dumb super punch, or getting so caught up in his own flexing that Reigns got the drop on him.
Then again, I also giggled a little bit when KO came out and wrecked Zayn because of COURSE he did.

Hope I'm wrong.
Like, yeah, people are expecting him to come back and have a face turn but as of his last in-ring appearance dude was still a slimy cheating douche
It would just be continuing that character

Just goes to show the power of marketing.

I am praying for a classic Eddie Guerrero style face....I want the slimy cheating douche who winks and smiles at the audience while doing it.

That's awesome
So did The Rock, and many others
Looks like the right course of action when teaming with Captain New Japan.

The Rock especially.
