“We're Not Outlandish Characters” - Roman Reigns

[2 Up 2 Down]

A good analogy is hip hop. It's better when the guys talking that shyt sound like or look like they could whoop your ass

Who's gonna believe Shawn Michaels can beat up Taker or Sid Vicious? The fukking Boy Toy? Hahahaha

Its probably already been said and I'm beating a dead horse but yeah, the lack of big characters is one of the reasons wrestling isn't as big as it was. You had guys like Austin, Rock, Jericho, and HBK with huge personalities. What is there to Roman besides being a workhorse?

 

[Cheech&Chong]

He's right that's why I don't like it anymore. It's just boring dudes and no characters.

Yeah high stakes matches shouldn’t always revolve around a championship, that’s one reason why the men’s and especially the women’s divisions lack intrigue. We need more characters, doesn’t mean we should have more goofy shyt damn give the wrestlers a backstory instead of just saying “they’re athletic” or “they’re the hottest free agent”.

"He or she has wrestled all over the world!!!"

It seems like Seth finally has a character, but for years it was just throwing a word in front of Slayer every time he beat someone at Wrestlemania

Right. If anything, WWE adopted the Indy workrate and style which has impacted their product for the worst IMO. It's one thing to no sell, it's another to have spot monkeys flying all over the place and finishers being spammed as if it were a video game.

Pro wrestling has turned into geek shyt. The worst thing to happen to wrestling were Stone Cold, The Rock, & the nWo. Look at wrestling now and it feels like it's comic-con, because everyone just wants to get together and have fun. No one wants the top spot if it means hurting someone else's feelings, and sadly its gotten so bad than it makes you miss the days of Cena.
