Jinder, Alexa, and Braun out here killing "wwe cant make new stars" mythyos

[AquaCityBoy]

Honestly, he needs to be champion. Look at the heat he's been getting. That's real heat. Nobody on SD gets the level of reaction he does, heel or face. Orton's been getting crickets for 8 months straight and nobody gave a fukk about his story with Wyatt. They need to pull the trigger on him, and he needs to be the champion for a long time.

I want to agree, but we all know Jinder and the Bollywood Boyz are all catching multiple RKOs at Backlash.

Braun is benefitting from idiot fans unreasonable hate of Roman. Even though they are doing a great job of doing kayfabe strength displays he's benefitting mostly from just being able to beat up Roman and get nothing but cheers. We'll see how they handle him with Brock.

Strowman been over before that, and his big show interactions been hot as hell. That main event two weeks ago was one of the best raw mains in a while

Waiting on those "I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!!!" T-Shirts

Braun has to be riding buddies with Mark Henry because his ad lib game has been remarkable lately

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

He has a new shirt it looks like

That would be the dumbest thing they've done in recent history.

India is the only emerging Asian market that's really into wrestling and airs on a major network in India. WWE airs on PPTV (the equivalent of a ESPN app) in China. Japan will support products made by their own before anything else. I think WWE got dropped on J-Sports (a pay sports channel) in Japan. Even UFC can't get a deal on TV over there.

There's a ton of stories they can do with Jinder. They can make him look like a hero to all of the brown folk. White people will hate him forever, just because he's brown.

What haven't they tried with Randy? He's been an unhinged psycho, he's been the preening pretty boy, he's been the smiling, corny joke telling guy, he's been a corporate lackey. He's been champion multiple times. He's tried to reinvent himself several times, and he still gets tepid reactions. If he wins again - what is there to do with him? A story with Rusev as the despicable foreigner at MITB? Why even go down that road when Jinder's already succeeding in that role?

 

[Golayitdown]

Braun has a chance to be great if they keep booking him as well as before. He is the epitome of being used right. They could have the next big thing on their hands if they continue.

Alexa is a great character but I haven't seen anything that screams next big star, especially with how much they're giving her so soon.

Jinder is way too early to call. I'm definitely getting the "give him the best build of his career to just to get squashed in a month like R-Truth" vibes though. I'm on the anybody but Orton train, so I hope he gets the win off of GP. Especially if Rusev can come back and eventually get the belt from him

All in all, I can't figure out whether I agree with the thread or not.

Don't you ever doubt the E's ability to out-dumb themselves

Don't you ever doubt the E's ability to out-dumb themselves

I fully expect them to fukk this up way earlier than Backlash

Braun was gaining momentum before he even crossed paths with Roman

 

[TL15]

The very interesting thing about Braun in the WWE today is that his size (paired with the size of others) allows them to make him a face or a heel...

want him to be a face...book him against Reigns, Samoa Joe, and now even Brock (I think he will get cheers against Lesnar if they play it right)

want him to turn...have him decimate Balor, Rollins, and other smaller fan favorites

I like Alexa but she seems like the only one who is allowed to just talk in the ring and he herself. Banks and Bayley sound forced, Charlotte sounds rigid but free to talk to an extent, most of the other smackdown women sound like they are reading directly from a script

Jinder is incredibly interesting. Fans didn't care about Blandy winning the title but damn sure DON'T want Jinder to have it. For that reason alone he should win it with some fukkery and continue what he's doing. I love his recent work. Stephanie was just in Dubai and they are trying to really cultivate that market. It would be really smart to give him the strap and see what happens.

 

[THE 101]

Jinder a star

Smackdown just did its lowest ratings of the year

 

[jadden]

Alexa has turned into mini Charlotte. There was no reason for her to win the Women's Title so soon after her switch.

Alexa is the best women on that roster. The best women should have the belt

 

[DaKidFromNoWhere]

Alexa has not impressed me in the ring yet(besides her look she is a bad lil broad) but her mic skills are good. She shouldn't have won the belt last night though. History shows if you a blonde in the E you kinda have it in easy(Dana Brooke).

 

[dh86]

Jinder just lead SD to the lowest ratings of 2017. Gotta relax a bit on that.

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

I think its clear braun strowman is that, and the other two are right about there, mahal is too early to ask him to draw money but he is over and important...thats a star

How is it clear? I don't think there's any proof that he's a big difference maker in TV or attendance yet. He's over but there's a difference between being over and being a STAR. Or maybe we have a different definition of what star means. It takes more than just getting a brief main event push and getting over with the current crowd who already watches the show anyway to make you a STAR. Was Jack Swagger a star when he got a run with the title?

Strowman does have the potential to get there, more than just about anyone on the roster, I'll give you that. But the other two? JINDER MAHAL?????? I know cats are feelin this push on some ironic comedy shyt, but to call him anything resembling a STAR is laughable.

If you wanted to say WWE can still make "stars" (although not really stars, just people who are over with the current audience) there are a lot better examples than fukkin Jinder Mahal and Alexa Bliss.
