They did the same for Haitch last year, no fukker wanted him to win but they would have cheered Colin Delaney winning the rumble as long as it wasn't Reigns.



He's alright, but he wrestles the SAME match everytime. At least people like Miz put on different style matches every time.



Dawg,...just stop praising the mix as an alternative to anyone.
The miz is the epitome of why the wee failed to institute the WWE inring style and had to resort to incoming Indy talent to restore some semblance of quality to their product via workrate.

The miz is garbage, just stop.....he was never and will never be good.

his superman punch spots are some of the cringiest sequences to watch, he has the personality of a thrown away napkin and he is constantly booked to look strong even when he loses (maybe even more so when he's about to lose).

honestly i think his in ring work is also massively overrated by people trying to find a bright spot in his repertoire. i just dont want to see him. he ruins anything he's put into and i automatically lose interest. it's boring and it's lame. if he was anything other than the 'hand picked guy', his ass would've been ziggler status within months.

Totally agree with all that.

Yall nikkas still watch this ish. Keep watchi ng and they will feed yall crappy charactes lol because yall eatin it


The WWE to wwf actually never really changed quality wise much.
Except when pushed to the wall.
they would take and make lower quality angles with principals they raided or invaded who swayed the tide for them via perception to ratings.
Yet the wwf really never embraced workrate as a global defining concept for the whole promotion.

So, regardless if we watched or not.
The WWE really is not going to change global as far as quality of product.
We just watch it because the indy heroes had nowhere to go but to the wwe.

As a matter of fact, after aj.
There really is no one left for the WWE to invest in.
So, the wwf will either have to change and actually make workrate a supreme component globally to the product past the headfake of nxt or sd live.
Or they will ultimately fail.
As they have no one left to build interest in their online foray via workrate after aj and have no idea how to drive traffic to their website via quality of product.
As the last decade outside of Daniel Bryan, eddy, punk or a past stampede alum or angle are actually the only one who create a product base who could be used to get viewers vested in the library online and new media.
Yet since they refused to create a product based on workrate and choose bullshyt sports entertainment as their scope.
Which is at best flanked by Main event smashmouth hhh clique style low quality angles.
There is no reason for any new viewers to invest in the library or online.
As in the past sixteen years since cripple ache ruined the boom by going over the rock at mania erroneously and never offering us a mania payoff for the rock versus cripple ache.
The fan base has no reason to invest into the library or online website.
As the company has not marketed wrasslin or workrate to stimulate and create intrigue or a draw for a casual to purchase the network for 9.99.

Freaking Goldberg was more of a beast than him!



Don't you expect Goldberg to be more of a beast than the undertaker.
Real talk the undertaker has had no real comp past an invading rookie mankind or scsa as a threat.
[eventually we learned taker had no chemistry with scsa or the rock as well]
As opposed to NWA when he was just a jabrone in a sea of jabrone jobbing to sting.

So, I just never understood people's fascination with taker in the wwf as that was mean mark jabrone callous from the NWA.

Who got exposed every week feuding with sting.


I wish other people would have turned the channel to the much better uwf or NWA back then.

Wwf was bullshyt as soon as the main event to mania three came on and steamboat/macho crushed the buildings.

He didn't mess up the show at all.

It's delusional to even consider that he ruined the show. Dude literally played his role to a tee.:pachaha:

He gets booed because the wwe looked at him and said we're gonna make him the guy when Daniel Bryan was on fire. Before hand he wasn't getting booed.

These marks just boo him because they got a problem with the wwe. The wwe never gave them what they want so they booed reigns in response.

It's more beef against the wwe more so than it is about reigns.


The disdain for reigns is because the wwf never brought him along organically as a singles star.
Plus, you can not make a maineventer using clique rules and the template is big Scott hall from the awa.
Who was never champ because hennig outclassed him as the new awa champ after the 'chase' in every facet.
Including bockwinkle was exposing hall via the eye test and workrate.
as soon as the bell rings, as a big lug who was green as fukk.


Real talk,...
They need to make reigns become a Samoan kinds gang character with the usos and have the same pole position in the card.
As reigns and his cousins being given the ball can help reigns ramp as a sports entertainer in the intangibles.
As the usos have it as far as sports entertainers in the WWE ideal of what makes the WWE move admin wise to a program.

A character change helped Scott hall become razor Ramon along with the beginning genesis of clique rules.
Which he learned being the roadie to flair.

Its the quite literal definition of "Go Away Heat". People thought he was done. #30 should have been Finn with full Demon gear and entrance and won to eventually face Owens for the belt he never lost. Throw Jericho in there if you want. Sell a ton of merch and write a halfway decent storyline and youre good.

I agree but Finn is still rehabbing. Who else could've came out that would've gotten RKKO cheered as the winner.

Maybe Kane. MAYBE.

I am officially throwing my lot in with @mrken12 , @September and others.

We've got Trump supporting suckers like Orton and Goldberg out here, and y'all are worried about a Samoan cat with a black wife?

Roman >>>> Most of the roster.

I hope his set will allow me to repent....:to:

I still don't like his as a talent, but there are too many real-life shytty people in the industry to be worried about his push.

The Rock is the biggest example.
I don't think he was given a push like this. Reigns is the face of the company and he is being thrust upon us as the guy that will carry them into the next era. I just feel like he'll turn heel and people will give him the HHH heat from circa 03-05, especially if he runs over the smarks' favorite.

The most unfortunate thing about him to me is that he doesn't have a particular skill that justifies his separation from some of the guys who will never see that type of push.

nobody can justify anyone ever getting that push. It's the cena push all over again, which is bigger than the Hogan push. Hogan headlined 8 wrestlemanias. This will be main event number ten for cena. Hogan's last main event was eight years after his first. They're trotting cena out there 12 years after his first main event. We've all seen what a hit ratings and overall buzz around the product have taken the last 12 years. Imagine what Roman continuing to get that push will do :heh:

roman reigns can't wrestle. as someone who's been watching this shyt for 30 years, he simply doesn't have the IT factor that excites people. No good moves, no charisma. The Ultimate Warrior has more in-ring charisma and talent than this dude.

Coli gonna Coli :heh:

Yeah I definitely wasn't saying Rock was getting this kind of push. He was getting shyt on heavily as the baby kissing face before he did the right thing and went heel though.

All they had to do was leave Roman as the exact same guy he was with the Shield. He had the perfect character for his skill set. They could have had him like Crow Sting and not even talking while he was kicking ass and he still would have been cool.
