It’s wishful thinking but I think at least somewhat realistic and logical. I would have preferred them holding off on the start of the feud until later in the year but I get them wanting the first one on Summerslam. Bryan's a smart guy, when he made those comments where he basically laughed at the idea of WWE being able to build a Miz program to Mania part of me wondered if he did it on purpose to needle Vince into proving him wrong. Because it seems the best way to ensure Vince tries do to something is to tell him he can't.

The difference between the tag team guy in NXT and the guy tearing shit up on 205 Live is amazing.
August 22, 20187 yr comment_5864036 I want the New Day vs. Bludgeon Brothers in a TLC match. Their Summerslam match would have been amazing with plunder added into the mix.

NXT never did anything with Buddy after the tag team break up as he had a rep of not taking direction well or at all. Kassius Ohno and Seth Rollins had that rep but that was more of personality/culture clash. People can be just dicks. Buddy was more of the latter by all accounts. Buddy and Lio Rush are both problem children who got a new lease on life Wrestling on the least produced of all the WWE brands. I am not so sure he's a Most Improved candidate in terms of actuality. Florida fans have raved about him for years. But those matches aren't on offer to the wider public. So?

It's just that it seems like the next PPV should have a title defense and it also seems like it should have a Shield match. But anytime a Shield match is on a big show, that's two title matches they can't have unless Rollins is going to drop the IC title again. Not the worst problem to have at all, just saying I'm curious how they navigate it. It's why anytime there was a DX reunion, they always made sure HHH wasn't champion. Next PPV is Hell In The Cell. It's the perfect show to do the six man right away, cause the hate filled HITC match for a belt is AJ/ Joe. And if they do a six man in the cell as well, then that's fine as well, cause it's HITC. There's lots of other matches to have besides the Universal and IC. Especially at a show built around a gimmick.
August 23, 20187 yr comment_5864185 Don't comment on John Cena's body, please. Leave his body alone. But yeah, that's disgusting. He also looks old as fuck here.
August 23, 20187 yr Author comment_5864204 He looks like Scott Steiner. Shame he seems unable to grow a beard, tho.

August 23, 20187 yr comment_5864251 The weirdest part of that photo to me was seeing Cena with that much hair. He looks like a younger, jacked up JBL.
August 23, 20187 yr comment_5864252 I keep reading that Reigns has now surpassed Cena in merchandise sales.

August 23, 20187 yr comment_5864254 It would be a shock if he hasn't passed him by now. Cena's barely around and Roman appears to have new merch out every week. He'll truly be the Big Dog when he pulls Hogan moves like having all the Shield merch ring up as Roman merch though.

I am not upset that Roman Reigns is the Big Dog of the World Wrestling Federation. By the way, Roman has less merch than AJ Styles, for instance. He might even have less T-Shirts than Ambrose and Rollins.
August 24, 20187 yr comment_5864313 Remember that Cena's merch sales would go down when he lost a big match which is why he always had to get his win right back. i wonder if the same happens/happened with Roman? (Do his sales go down after losing) last time I saw a list AJ was right behind Roman. So the two champions are the guys who sell the most merch. I guess this is officially how we judge drawing power in this modern era
August 24, 20187 yr comment_5864314 I mean, that was kind of always how it was judged. In WWE at least. There was tons of Hulkamania/DX/Austin/nWo merch around back in the day.
August 24, 20187 yr comment_5864316 I meant in the post ppv world. Used to be ppv buys and houses were way more important than merch sales

August 24, 20187 yr comment_5864322 I mean when I got on the net 20 years it was buys, ratings, attendance. Merch sales were discussed but not even close to those other three. Everyone knew Austin sold the most shirts but I don't remember it being reported that they "couldn't push Ken Shamrock stronger because he was only 12th in the company in merch numbers" type stories like we here today

That new red and black Big Dog shirt might be the first one that is actually wearable. I say that as someone who has wanted to buy a Roman shirt for a long while and being pretty disappointed by how garish they all are. Same goes for all the Shield merch ever.
