The only success story of 2017 WWE so far has been

Jason jordan couldnt get a louder pop that a jobber

He was never over as a singles wrestler in NXT, why they thought put him in a goofball angle as Angle's son would work is foolishness.

Complete flop. Weren't they cheering for the jobber the other night?

It's just another instance of Vince thinking he can make people care, instead of people doing that through organic connections to the talent

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.

I like the Revival, but i say they flopped because you start and stop TWICE, you lost all momentum.

Also, you're talking about a team that didn't work FT hours, now they on the road whole time, both hurt

What else do expect when the companies booking process is based on flip flopping.

Honestly, didn't watch it.

Zero interest in almost anything on Raw, FF>> to the main event.

Jason Jordan has to be a heel for this to work. Jinder needs to have a great match or do something crazy to nakamura to get any heat. Hardys are not flops what did you expect from a tag team in wwe?

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Not sure how Jinder flopped, and not sure what was expected out of Tye to be considered a flop, but everything else is pretty much right/

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

Pretty much, they need to reset everything. The way the show is presented, how the show is written and the wrestling itself. I feel like every year they have a shyt load of problems, they mask them by bringing in new talent, then they create a whole new set of problems while never solving the other problems they had before...

 

[reigun]

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.

We at least expected him to be on TV consistently. Man debuted, had like 3 matches, then was gone until very recently.

Tye honestly would have been better off staying in NXT another year. He was just starting to shake the perception of underachiever, and clearly had finally gotten the creative there (Triple H) to take a liking to him. Another 6 months to a year and he would have been in a much better position moving to main.

Seeing photo of Vince in public or streets clothes is like someone taking a photo of big foot
