This is why D-Bry should have lost the whole comedic thing a couple months ago...... they should have had him back on at least a semi-serious tip heading into Mania...so he can be used in a better way.

dont forget the harlem shake filler....

this might be the worst ever.

WWE is notorious jumping on things too late.

The way the internet/twitter is nowadays, trends dont last long.
Look at planking.

Harlem Shake will be played out in about 3 weeks MAX and nobody will care at all by WM

Soooo drop what got you very much over, and go back to how you were when you were moderately over? That makes sense.

I mean I get what you're sayin', but Bryan could've kept that and still been used in a better way. Angle was pretty comedic in his time, and he never had a problem being a top contender.

I gotta say, I was hoping he'd get to have a run at a title this year... I figured the WWE title match was probably sewn up, but at least the World joint could've been a good thing for him to come back around to this year.

So you mean like pretty much every Mania before this right? That's usually how it goes- the main event matches are a couple months in the making, then the others come together during the weekly build.

*remembers that Mania 17's build was largely done within a month and in fact, Benoit/Angle wasn't announced until the week prior*

Yeah im fine with fresh matchs built up and known for months prior, but a match like Rock Cena 2 that has been known since the first one was announced and Brock Hunter 2 are the kind im talking about.

Don't forget F*ckboy Ziggy still has his Mitb, so I'm guessing he finally breaks his losing streak and cashes in. I'm personally hoping he becomes the 1st person to do the sneaky cash in and still fail because that's the type of fukkery this shows needs to be memorable.
You ever refer to the Show Off as a fukkboy again... :birdman:

:beli:........:laff: The name only comes from how's his character has been treated on TV. Classic fukkboy status right there. I don't even dislike Ziggy (terrible nickname btw) but I do find his struggles as great comic relief on Raw every week.

Come on breh...Dolphin was over as fukk last year just like D Bry and then Cokeboy threw him in the bushes.

He even cut a dope promo before the Rumble, channeling the OG Ric Flair when he was telling everyone he was going in at number 1. Mic Skills? CHECK!

Was I high or were the crowds chanting "We want Ziggler" in 2012? :ppvbro:

Now they got em stuck with Big E Smalls and Crazy Whore, jobbing to anyone on the roster they can think of.

Or did we forget how over he was leading UP TO getting that MITB briefcase.

You content with this BS Del Rio Anti-Booooooly vs Thwagger and 'Merica dude? :ohhh:

I dunno maybe, you were high. the ziggler chants did happen, but they were always sporadic and never consistent. Ziggler made strides in 2012 but he was never as consistently over as Bryan last year. It was only an improvement to the silence he came out to the last few years unless vickie was around to draw Her X-pac heat.

I don't get the ziggler -flair comparisons but people keep making them so I'll just move on.

I'll even agree that they ruined his momentum coming off of Survivor Series. That week was the best they've ever treated him. He beat Orton 2x, layed out Cena, Ethered AJ to all hell, and even won and carried Miz to a good match on Main Event. It all went to hell quickly tho, after TLC they went all out into making him fukkboy Ziggy. It started when they were trying portray AJ as the group's brains. His crew is pretty much a live action Team Rocket no stable has ever looked this weak coming of the gate.

I like ziggler a lot, but the only way for me to tolerate his terrible booking is too poke fun and make jokes. The whole Cena feud and this stable will have you :mindblown::why: unless you just treat it as a big :troll:.

I'm not thrilled with ADR vs Swagger, but after the way he's been treated the last two months, inserting ziggy into the picture doesn't do much for me. I'd rather see Henry or Jericho in the title picture.

Looking back I'm still confused on the purpose of putting AJ and Dolph together, all it did was kill both of their momentums for the sake of putting :cape: over. It's the exact same shyt when they sacrificed Ryder's popularity and Eve's babyface credibility to put Cena over.

you probably right, Cena getting his redemption storyline off the ground is the only the stable has accomplished so far and it gives Big E a chance to get on the main roster.

I mostly think they just wanted to give AJ something to do, since the GM run flopped and the insufferable pairing with Cena was never planned to last long anyway.

Ziggler's momentum ruined? If anything, he ruined AJ's momentum. She basically dominated the show before he dragged her down into....whatever they do these days. Pitiful.
