Thing about it is most of the guys who have shown a knack for showmanship made a bunch of money in the UFC. More than they would make in WWE starting all the way at the bottom. Chael Sonnen would have been a good fit for WWE but I don't think they would have ever paid him what he would have wanted to make.

Feed Triple H to him at the Rumble, then give H a win in February. Eww. Definitely don't want to see a 3 match series with Reigns/HHH that goes from Rumble/Mania. He shouldn't lose to HHH at all. I just don't know what you actually do with Brock for the next year then. The only people who feel like credible opponents for him are Cena & Reigns. And he's already done enough (or too many) matches with Cena. Would I like to see him wrestle Cesaro or Sheamus? Yes. But after how strong they've booked Lesnar it would seem like he would almost have to squash them due to them not being booked nearly strong enough to come off like they have a chance of beating him.

I'm saying they aren't a reason to NOT do Roman/Brock this year.

I just don't think this is possible. There are just too many people who are up their own ass about hating WWE that they are going to hate Reigns regardless of how well they book him just because he was "chosen." Despite the reaction to his win being mostly positive there are still a lot of people hating on it. They aren't even saying the booking was bad, they acknowledge that it was good and then shit on the Philly crowd and everyone else for being "manipulated by good booking."

Does it REALLY matter if Reigns gets booed against Lesnar? I mean that's not a legit reason to not do the rematch that NEEDS to be done. It's not like it's going to be worse than last year going in and by the end of the match he had managed to get some of the crowd behind him anyway.

It does seem like they've clearly set up a HHH/Reigns match but it doesn't feel like something HHH would want to do before Mania nor does it seem like they would really have HHH win the Rumble to get that as a Mania match so there is a lot of reason to be skeptical about where they are going from here.

Definitely Reigns/Brock II for me. Cena would be better than a HHH match though.

I didn't know we were supposed to be rooting for WWE to die under some misguided idea that that wouldn't be a horrible thing for wrestling. Totally not what I meant and strange you'd even think that considering the context you've also quoted. Do me a favor and don't reply to any of my posts in the future. I'm totally done interacting with you stemming from the fantasy booking and everything having to be confrontational. Give it a rest. Told you then as I'm telling you now, if you don't want to read my posts then put me on ignore. I'm free to respond to any posts that are made, it's an open forum.

So we're supposed to shit on it instead? If you want that reaction head on over to wrestlingforum.com which has turned into a salt mine. Raw was good. They actually did some smart booking for once and finally pulled the trigger on a big win for Roman when everyone was expecting them to do yet another stupid screwjob. And the crowd was really into it.

Big props to them for proving me wrong and having the balls to follow through with the Roman title win. The fact that his title win got over huge in front of the same city that hated him a year ago is very impressive.

I wouldn't mind a regular Swagger/Ryback team. Ryback would be best used as a hot tag guy.

I'd take Vince over Stephanie in a heart beat. At least Vince tries to get over the people in segments with him instead of constantly emasculating them.

If Vince really still has the grapefruits they were talking about then they will pull the trigger on Roman right there in Philly and make one of the biggest smark cities cheer his coronation. Instead they'll cut his balls off by having him lose and have HHH demand he be brought back so he can fight him.

Someone alerted me to more Bubba foolishness

Yes. Fat heels who have signs in the crowd about them being fat get shown on TV. "Oh but he's not fat!" Yea, he is. That's not me shitting on his skill as a wrestler (although I'm not very high on him and thought the Cena matches were shitty spot fests) it's just pointing out a fact.

Demolition were really just smaller versions of Lord Humongous with face paint instead of a hockey mask.

They ALWAYS put negative signs for heels on camera.

Well I mean obviously they are going to do that match, that ending was clearly leading to a HHH match. The HHH match should end with Reigns winning and The Authority going away but that would actually be the smart thing to do to improve the show AND get Reigns over as the top babyface so it can't happen. Actually, I'm going to predict the show ends with HHH calling out Reigns for a "man to man" talk and then Reigns getting jumped by the League of Nations and the show ending with them holding Reigns while HHH slaps him around. He was actually getting cheered last night they gotta put a stop to that quick. #politicalhit

I would find it more apt, and way more hilarious, if it was Billy Gunn saying that about Dolph.

Someone brought up Double J's outfits and yea he wins it:

Reigns & Sheamus freaking killed each other and had a really awesome match only to end with a shitty League of Nations run in. What a shock. Reigns going crazy at the end doesn't make up for the fact that they continue to pull the rug out from under him. I suspect they'll deny him a rematch with Sheamus and he'll have to win the Rumble to get another title shot, which he'll do and it will get shit on again.
