forget what year it was but the rumble that ended with reigns vs show and kane was the most definitive example. that moment encapsulated the era and also the relationship between vince and the fans.
2015. They knew fans would be against it and booked to fight the fans with hoping the Rock could ease the pain. Silliness.

Wow for a second I forgot about the rock coming at the end.

Might be the most blatantly transparent thing they’ve pulled.
It's so funny how against they are how much the fans naturally loved Bryan..they even got behind Ambrose before he teamed up with Roman. Just fascinating to watch this huge company jealous over one performer's popularity.

I don’t know why they are so in love with the shield guys and specifically chose to push them above everyone else. as someone who didn’t know anything about them when they first came in it was weird seeing this group of unknown nobodies getting the VIP treatment without any type of justification.

it was just vince saying “these guys are big deals because we say so”.

They are very proud Shield got over as faces. Lol.

I’m amazed the neckbeards and the smarks fukk with dean and seth like they do.

Like it boggles my mind that a shield reunion can get such a loud pop.

but then again wtf is a pop... the ratings are in the toilet. nobody is watching these guys.

When Bryan got hurt, Seth took over Raw with that title reign. Bad ratings but fans liked his ring and mic work. Ever since he came back from injury, fans took to him. Ambrose been pretty over since the 2014 singles push.

Wouldn’t have gotten 2 billion if no one watched. Stop living in 1994.

I swore y'all were interested in a Becky Lynch heel turn a little while ago so what's the problem? Yeah, she's a so called natural face but what were they doing with that? Nothing. The company wasn't taking advantage of that and she was basically a female Sami Zayn. Another "natural babyface" who gained a lot more prominence and spotlight after a heel turn. Of course creative totally botched it as they will with Becky because they are incapable of doing anything right but hey, at least she's doing something besides floating around in the background and suffering beatdowns. People cheer the heels nine times out of ten anyway so what's the big deal about one more? You all choose to watch this crap, it's been crap for years and they show you it's not going to get any better so why even complain at this point?
Who? All i see is her constantly referred to as Becky Borden because she only comes off as the purest of faces. You just made that up to generalize and patronize.

Nah I didn't. I don't have to make up shyt to get my point across on this forum. You all provide enough material. There was an interest in a heel Becky Lynch. I never said it was on some Roman Reigns shyt. She's been a face for years now, might as well switch it up. She's not doing bad at all.

Y'all were against the Rollins heel turn for the predictable Ambrose scumbag turn and even though he was a bit cartoonish he grew on people. Let Becky put her mark on the generic WWE template. It actually makes sense she goes against the reality of the fans being on her side; all WWE heels are delusional. It actually makes sense that she thinks she never had fan support. She just needs to drop a few more "you peoples" and she'll be good to go.

There were indeed calls for Becky to turn, because there's calls for everyone to heel turn, especially when wwe isnt doing anything with them. People wanted Baeley to turn just because of how much she got buried, but you think she'd actually make a good heel? :no:

Becky has been better than expected, she switched up her whole demeanor. The problem was how they did it. Making Charlotte come out of nowhere and win the belt again, clean, by pinning Becky is classic wwe Hogan/Cena/Reigns booking.

If you want to actually get fans to buy into your heel/face dynamic, you have to present it in a way that actually makes Becky come off as out of line and a bad person instead of making her beatdown into a cathartic experience for how the fans feel. The company is clueless about how to tell a story people can relate to because they have that backward conservative victim mindset.

So now that they botched the turn, they have a few weeks at most to get it on track by having Becky really do terrible things and come off as unlikeable. Tough to accomplish in the wack ass pg era. If they cant do it in a couple weeks they need to cut their losses and pull the trigger on the double turn, otherwise it will damage both women permanently going forward.

You know there won't be a double turn. Becky is a heel for the foreseeable future. She already shyt on the fans. If they let her do some truly diabolical and ultra violent shyt they have a chance. They went all out (initially) to get Austin over. They need to do that for Becky. Some bytches will have to bleed for that.
