WWE 2017: Year of the flop?

[LastEmperor2k2]

Their have been so many flops this year, is this, the year of the flop.

- Jinder Mahal, flopped
- Bayley, flopped.
- 205 Live, flopped horrendously
- Bray Wyatt as champ, flopped
- Randy Orton as champ, flopped
- Revival, flopped
- Jason Jordan, seemingly on his way to complete flop
- American Alpha, flopped
- Tye Dillinger, flopped
- Hardyz, while hot to begin with, this trademark limbo is leading to floppyness

It seems like so many things they've done this year have been complete misses. Only thing they seem to have gotten right is Raw main event scene

All these NXT flops @TheGreatShowtime we need that thread.

The FCW guys have fared very well

Rollins has been a flop as well

How did Tye flop? No one had high expectations for him.

Bray Wyatt as champ was nothing but a transitional reign.

Randy Orton's whole career has been a flop.

 

[Drones]

They thought that just associating him with Angle would get Jordan cheered. Between Bayley, Roman, and Jason Jordan all getting booed it's clear that in 2017 this man Vince can't book babyfaces at all.

Meanwhile he put their top title on a guy who hasn't had a good match yet and managed to bump the championship down to midcard status, all to try to sell the Network to people in a country that doesn't use streaming services and who get PPVs for free. Stateside, Battleground ticket prices had to get slashed 50% in Philadelphia and Backlash ticket sales stopped once Jinder and Orton were announced as the main event.

They're dropping pyro and Network shows despite having to pay 190 fukking wrestlers on the roster, most of whom don't get used.

Somebody put Vince senile ass on a golf course somewhere.

 

[Heelish]

Bad writing, Vince is senile, and everyone adopted the PWG style to the max. This is the year of the flop and.............. dive.

Any style of wrestling is fine if you have some interesting storylines to go with it, I mean, take Sasha Banks/Alexa Bliss for example. Clearly two of the most popular women in WWE and yet, they don't have a storyline, it's just "oh they don't like each other" but that's it, no promos between each other, nothing, and SummerSlam is next Sunday

Last night, I was talking about how Jinder Mahal has been WWE Champion since May, and not once has SmackDown ended with him on top, they gave him the same promo to work with through the entire Orton feud, and to make matters worse, he loses clean two weeks before SummerSlam, no wonder he can't get over

Business stinks we need a reset in the WWE bad complete reboot terrible year. Strowman and Reigns pretty much carrying the company this year.

Jason jordan couldnt get a louder pop that a jobber

 

[NSSVO]

Hard to argue man. It's not the wrestler's fault though, its the writers and Vince. Mahal was red-hot out the gate man, great promos and vignettes. Then they put him in the dead spot on the show, had him cut the same damn promo, and had him feud with a lazy over the hill Orton.

Even though some fans might not want to admit it

Roman & Braun is clearly the feud of the year, such a old school feel where they're just constantly beating the shyt outta each other.

Kurt Angle/Jason Jordan

I wouldn't count The Revival their reason for failure is because they can't stay healthy. I also wouldn't count The Hardyz as they've been pushed stronger in their singles matches and are both rumored to get singles pushes with Jeff holding a heavyweight belt again. Jason Jordan is getting boos but I think they have to know by now that this storyline isn't going the they may have wanted and maybe more willing to turn him into a heel version of a white meat babyface similar to Angle I'd like to see what Jinder will do against Nakamura but I don't have hopes too high, honestly..The others I agree with.

You know how it goes with some of these fans, every Roman Reigns match is good until he wins.
