September 30, 20195 yr comment_5900037 The Fiend as champ ain't doing it for me either, but Rollins needs to be shunted back to the midcard asap. If it wasn't for NXT on USA, I'd say they should just call up Riddle, have him kill fuckers for six months and then go over Brock or Goldberg at Mania. They need something new on top desperately because Seth Rollins ain't it and eventually the Fiend stuff will have to be more than smoke and mirrors to cover up for the fact that it's Bray Wyatt in a mask.
September 30, 20195 yr Author comment_5900041 At the very least, with The Fiend we won't have long live promos. His presentation is miles better than what we get with Seth.
September 30, 20195 yr comment_5900052 Seth was fine as Intercontinental Champion. They should have just left him there. I don't know why they moved him back up to the World Title anyway. I also think The Fiend doesn't need a title. Just like The Undertaker never really needed a championship. Just have him show up & wreck people as a special attraction. Like André the Giant. There's people on the roster that don't have the overexposed stink on them yet, like Aleister Black or Andrade that WWE could be doing a lot more with. I've liked that they have been trying to do more with guys like Chad Gable or even Buddy Murphy for awhile too. Rowan has also been doing pretty good stuff lately. So they've having some success lately with newer names but this Kofi & Seth as World Champs era has to end. Would love to see WWE at least make an attempt with EC3. Slap him with Liv Morgan or something, because she's also been off TV a lot lately & isn't a solid promo but EC3 is a great talker. Then you can have EC3/Liv feud with Mike/Maria & then Andrade/Zelina. Just a way to get them on TV & give them something to do to see if the act can catch on or whatever. As a whole WWE should have a lot more managers & valets imo. Lio Rush is a good chickenshit manager. Enzo also would have been great because who didn't want to see him get punched in the mouth?

The actual content of the Gable push though. Just hammering home that he's short isn't good.

September 30, 20195 yr Author comment_5900060 Look WWE managing to make Rock and CM Punk return would be huge.
September 30, 20195 yr comment_5900061 How are they going to fit all this stuff in 2 hours? Lol. Crash TV I guess
September 30, 20195 yr comment_5900063 Honestly, I'd be surprised if they would have CM Punk and The Rock appear on the same show. But I guess we'll see. That's even if Punk appears.
September 30, 20195 yr comment_5900068 They'll pop a huge rating. And make sure their current crop will look like complete non-stars and have no chance in hell to sustain it the following week. All of this because there is some actual other pro-wrestling on TV.
September 30, 20195 yr comment_5900069 C.M. Punk returning to the world of professional wrestling & choosing WWE over AEW is the most depressing timeline.

September 30, 20195 yr comment_5900071 Depressing for who? For those who choose the narrative that WWE is the root of all evil and that only CM Punk can take them down? God forbid Punk can move on from all of this and actually take the high road, contrarily to what we first thought.
September 30, 20195 yr comment_5900073 Let's put it like this. CM Punk coming back to WWE : whatever. They all come back eventually. If Jeff Jarrett came back, anyone can. CM Punk doing a Saudi show, yeah, now that would be a bit depressing for those who thought the guy had any principles at all (well, of course, technically, WWE can afford anyone including Punk because of the Saudi money, mostly, so...)

Maybe it's depressing because Punk could be a difference maker for AEW while WWE has such a track record of turning potential difference makers into nothing that he'll not feel special for very long if he goes back. And really, as a fan, him going to the other side and stoking the flames of the war is way more exciting.
October 1, 20195 yr comment_5900081 If I didn't know there was a new set, I'd barely notice. Was hoping for more of a refresh than this. Ten seconds in, and the show still looks as stale as ever. As for C.M. Punk, he's a whore. They all are. Did you really expect more from a guy who sold his best friend down the river?
October 1, 20195 yr Author comment_5900082 New set looks cool. Brock is going to murder Dominic holy shit

October 1, 20195 yr comment_5900084 So, I assume Seth vs. Rey is off the table? More bullshit bait-and-switch by WWE. The new era is the old era. This deranged dinosaur of a company will never learn. We need to all pray AEW comes out swinging.
October 1, 20195 yr comment_5900085 I didn't notice the return of pyro to the opening until a friend texted me. It's strange to me that so many people are really annoyed by its absence, but what do I know? Holy shit, Brock grabbing Dominick out of the front row was frightening.
October 1, 20195 yr comment_5900086 Yeesh Brock almost lost Dom there on the post slam. That would have been a disaster
October 1, 20195 yr Author comment_5900087 Brock out there treating Dom like a sack of potatoes. Disrespectful af Good segment. Lesnar is in absurd shape and looks ready to be the biggest TV heel. Plus the commentary team wasn't awful!
October 1, 20195 yr Author comment_5900089 There were rumors that WWE was trying to book Lesnar vs Cain and given how Velásquez debut went, it would be insane.
