When is the last time wrestling fans over 18 but younger than 40 ever liked a face run?


*After three weeks*

"He's stale..."
"Put the belt on (insert cool heel)"
"Turn him heel."

Blah blah. Leave it to that demographic, only heels would have title runs in the first place. Not saying McMahon consistently books face champions to their best, but some of you are more hot & cold than he is. Always looking for a new toy to discard.

I'm convinced Cokeboy doesn't know how to book a babyface champion anymore. The generic formula they follow is having the babyface champion look like a chump by losing matches after winning the title. There's no reason he should've lost clean to Roman. If you don't want Roman to lose or win dirty, then don't book the match.
Modern WWE booking is constantly painting yourself in a corner on a seemingly endless basis for some inexplicable reason when there’s plenty of other ways to do it. The easiest and most glaring way would’ve been to just book the Bloodline vs the New Day as the main event instead of burning through it on TV. Reigns gets a win over the group and a victory over Big E without directly pinning him.

My opinion was always that he needed to turn heel

but he’s been booked horrible

MITB cash ins only work for heels…never is a good way for a Bf to win

he’s champion but seems to be 3rd fiddle on the show to Becky and Seth
I was going to say this.

I think he would be better off as a heel, he doesn't bring anything new to his character as a face and the competition for him is pretty weak. It would have been better if they made him a heel or a semi-heel who was selfish and wanted to be recognize as a #1 guy, etc

Not his fault, babyfaces in WWE sucks because of how WWE books them. Heels have a dynamic factor for their characters while faces are so damn generic.

Big E was always the filler to me in the New Day. He is just too corny, and not as organic as the other two.

All that aside, Vince has pushed less talented guys, so this is on him once again
