Why is the WWE all about protecting the heels in 2017?

Looking at the way they've booked babyfaces against heels these past few months he isn't entirely wrong

Because he's a whiny little bytch who literally rants on EVERYTHING, was a pro wrestler and works writing about pro wrestling yet doesn't understand the most basic core concepts of angles booked in a way that 5 year olds can understand, and now there are people who are really starting to think heels getting heat is a bad thing, as if that isn't the whole fukking point of the pro wrestling industry.

You protect your heels and make people mad at them so they pay money to see them get beaten up by the faces, and it now means more because the heels don't get smashed every week. This is literally wrestling 101, and that squeaky fukk can't even understand it.

How do you think Ric Flair had 16 title runs?

The heel is wrestling.

This time of the year you need the heels...the payoff is around WM season.

Last Wresltemania: Naomi wins, Brock Wins (no real face or heel there) Randy wins, Seth Wins, Cena and Nikki win, Hardyz came back and won, Bayley won, Dean beat Baron Corbin, KO beat Jericho

All the face champions minus KO

We are in the "chase" time of the year...the payoff is in Spring :manny:
That was mostly a NWA/WCW thing. Heels like Flair and Hollywood Hogan always had the long title runs or were dominant. The WWE always had faces as strong with lengthy reigns. The dynamic started changing in the early 2000's.

Sure, but the heels had to be kept strong and dominant until they went up against Hogan or Cena, or it didn't work. Heels definitely dominated weekly TV in the 80s in the WWF, and really most of the first few years of Raw as well.

With the exception of Cena and Roman, they got the heels just dominating the show. New Day used to be the exception but now they are pushi g the USOs hard again and I was bored of that years ago.

Nattie has her run..ok. she earned it.

They book Alexa as if she is SMARTER than everyone else...They had Raw end with Nia turning on her but went right back to the bipolar booking and put them on the same side. I can see why Nia wanted a break from that kind of burial shyt. They basically had Bayley conquer Charlotte instead of doing the Sasha money match, which was weird in itself, but then had Alexa CRUSH and PUNK THE $hit out of Bayley. Her reactions ain't been the same since. Sasha talked on the mic a certain way so she couldn't be buried and she usually dominates Alexa except for that last clean loss.

Miz is a heel fans cheer for except against Shield.

Corbin needed the belt for..what? He has no momentum. Lol. Why is Corbin getting feature matches over Rusev? Wtf is that bullshyt about?:laugh:

They used the very over Nakamura to pad up Mahal after he used racial insults. WHAT...THE...fukk was that booking all about? Once again making Cripple H's NXT look worthless except for the Shield, Bliss, Sasha, and Asuka call ups.

Wyatt is the only one who loses all the time after talking a big game:laugh:

They would never treat upcoming Cena like Nakamura and we all know the jack off session they have with Roman. After all, Kurt was paying "homage" to his supposed employee even though he isn't "biased".

Lesnar is treated like a bully tweener

Braun is finally turning face officially

Joe will probably be face since he can't get heat anymore

Still..alot of heel shyt emptying these arenas.
Id hold the jury on the Asuka thing. Seeing how bad the Shinsuke run has gone, I wouldnt have much hope for Asuka

what heel other than brock is strong? they all look weak as fukk jinder is a jobber, baron corbin is a retard who cant even keep the money in the bank, miz just teamed up with 2 monsters and a big tag team against 2 wrestlers and a GM and still got his ass kicked (5 on 3). :gucci: kevin owens just got saved by sami zayn who is a jobber against his GM :gucci: bray wyatt gets beat up every month :mjlol:


cant even remember the other heels. if anything, HGH and stephanie are the only heels that look strong other than brock and braun (who they fed to brock for no reason)

It's like I was saying before. WWE struggles because they book the faces like fukking dorks while the heels are smarter, cooler and better than them in every way.

It's funny cuz 10 years ago WWE was lacking in effective heels and now they've swung to the other side of the pendelum.

Bliss wins all the time..Nattie wins...and even the female MITB with Carmella is set up for her to win. Heels dominating screen time and perception of dominance in general.

Word is Vince changes his mind sometimes right before they hit the curtain and he wants the belt changes to be unpredictable. Well that got us with heels winning all the belts lol.
