THE WRESTLING THREAD: HHH KEEPS DOING HHH THINGS.....

[c_commander]

Man let's keep it 100. If Daniel Bryan was hurt the fans would have no problem with Reign winning. Ready or not. Its all about DB right now. I don't get it but I mean I guess its whatever. I'm just glad its not Cena headlining Mania again.

WWE just fucked up. They may not want fans to dictate their product but if they want to continue to cash in on 9.99's they better start listening to them.



By reaction I mean the booing of Reigns. They were just cheering him last week. So there's no way the reception he has now is that he's some top heel. I just don't buy that. The booing had more to do with DB not winning than it was Reigns. He's still a face.

What I mean by fast is that the dude been gone for months. Granted, he could come in and take his spot back. He hasn't lost any of his hype. Bryan's hype ain't going nowhere. Why not build up some other guys right now and have someone who's able to headline some events aside from Orton and Cena?

Bryan coming back is the biggest factor. Those weak ass promos Vince has been giving him haven't helped. The crowd wasn't happy when he won Superstar of the Year either. He's been paired against guys like the Big Show that the crowd can't stand but if he was feuding with Cesaro or even Mark Henry for instance the crowd wouldn't have cheered for him as much.
Ultimately the crowd wanted a wrong righted and they didn't get it. Hell if he had won last year instead of Batista he would have gotten a better reaction than he got this year.

I guess my view of Reigns is skewed lol. I honestly thought he was one of the best faces in the company. The time off hurt him as well. Sucks for Reigns. He has to get out of this hole his company put him in.....probably just best to bring back The Shield.

Watching some of the interviews from Raw. It was probably a blessing in disguise for Raw to be cancelled. The Roman Reigns interview was a nice touch. Discussing being booed and being hand picked by management.

The wrestling sites are saying it's gonna be Sheamus vs Bryan.

 

[Simply Sickenin']

Carried Paul on his back like Hodor.

Gif and meme people, we need to make that immediately
​

They didnt edit the boos..that was a shock

I was actually surpised by that.
​

​

Dude, the WWE has to read this thread....

If only ....
Not that it would do any good. There is no way that they don't hear and see what the fans wants. They do, they just clearly don't care.
​

I love Brock. I couldn't even tell if Michael Cole was just acting or if he was legitimately nervous that Brock was going to kill him. "I'm sorry Mr. Heyman. I meant no disrespect to your client."
I still feel bad for Reigns. He's suppose to be going into Mania as the face, but at this point Brock is getting way more cheers. I really hope the fans don't boo if Reigns wins at Mania. It's not his fault that Vince is old and won't listen to anyone but his yes men. It would be kinda fucked up if the crowd boos Reigns and ruins his big Mania moment too.

The wrestling sites are saying it's gonna be Sheamus vs Bryan.

BOO!!!
biggest show of the year with the 2nd biggest face of the company (maybe the 1st in some circles) and they best they can do is Shemaus? This is why the commpany is getting shitted on. Look at DB since he won the title. Got into a shitty program with Kane that was beneath the champ. Came back with no mention of how he didnt lose the title and wanted an immediate title shot. Back to feuding with Kane. Lose to Wyatt and earlier exit in Royal Rumble. They are trying to cut him off at the legs and the crowds aint having it.

 

[XXXplosive]

He isn't trash, he just isn't ready for that spot. He's Goldberg, only younger and a slightly better moves set.

Dude has no mic skills and could benefit from a slower build to the top spot.

The fans are turning on him because his rise to the top wasn't organic like Bryan's was.

Exactly.
The Rock (remember Rocky Maiavia?), of all people, should understand pushing someone who isn't ready never works...especially in this day and age.
I thought it was corny to have him come out and save the day, but I guess management thought it would go over better.
News alert to WWE: never hold a PPV in Philly, Chicago or anywhere like that where you are trying desperately to get someone over who isn't quite ready for prime time.

They book the events far enough in advance that they don't know who they're going to run with so that's hard to avoid. The one thing they do know is that cities like Philly and Chicago are wrestling towns and guaranteed to provide a full house and a hot crowd. They may also completely shit on the product but they also won't sit on their hands and be a lame crowd either.

The Royal Rumble was a good example of bad booking. What they need is another championship like the world title.

They devalued the World title. It has more prestige than the WWE championship. The World title was treated like a middle class title at times.

At some point they're gonna have to bring back the brand extension. Too many good workers in NXT to not get any tv time and a push.

 

[Upgrade Dave]

Compared to the current writing staff....he's a Pulitzer prize winner

I don't see an improvement from horseshit by bringing in cowshit.
He would still have to work for Vince McMahon and with no WCW kicking his ass, Vinnie Mac ain't listening to a guy who failed in WCW and TNA.

I wanted Book to finish the line and say, "let them Europeans deal with madness."

I knew it!

Carried Paul on his back like Hodor.

I think it is hard to get someone over given the current climate that WWE created.

We know they know how to do it-see The Shield and the Wyatts- so when they do it wrong, it's hard to say it's not intentional.
Reigns is on the road to being the new Diesel or Sheamus: a really over fresh face who they ruin because Vince needs all his top faces to be one way.

Roman Reigns isn't trash. He has a look, he has a charisma that the audience can get into, and he even done a decent job coming up with signature moves. But he isn't ready to be the guy and pushing him done the audience's throat is fucking him over both in the short term and in the long term. Let him improve and earn the spot not give it to him like they're doing. He's better as a silent bad ass than as whatever it is that they're trying to do with him right now which is give him the John Cena face Sheamus treatment.

I think that's fair. He's lost a lot of steam since he got hurt and cut some really horrible promos (which he was not penalized for unlike Cesaro and others) but if there was no Daniel Bryan, he probably wouldn't have been booed so badly, if at all.

By reaction I mean the booing of Reigns. They were just cheering him last week. So there's no way the reception he has now is that he's some top heel. I just don't buy that. The booing had more to do with DB not winning than it was Reigns. He's still a face.

I agree with that. I think whoever it was was going to get booed to some extent. Reigns, like Batista, was in the wrong spot at the wrong time and definitely in the wrong city.
I don't think that fans were really and truly booing Roman Reigns. They were booing Vince pulling the same shit again like last year didn't happen.

What I mean by fast is that the dude been gone for months. Granted, he could come in and take his spot back. He hasn't lost any of his hype. Bryan's hype ain't going nowhere. Why not build up some other guys right now and have someone who's able to headline some events aside from Orton and Cena?

That "other guy" is Daniel Bryan. He's put in the work, is the most universally over guy in the company and still gets Zack Rydered every year. Punk doesn't leave, Bryan's not in that main event last year. This year proves that out because with no major departure, he's all set to have that match with Sheamus they wanted to do last year. He doesn't even get Rollins, the hot heel at the moment, Orton will.

Leave them in NXT. I'm not impressed with how they've brought up the majority of NXT stars outside Bray and the Shield guys. The Ascension have gone from the next great tag team to a flaming disaster in 4 weeks. What happened with Erick Rowan? Who did he piss off?

 

[Alphachino]

I still say reigns only hope is go full out heel, let him spear the rock trying to help him again or some shit.

People love Bryan but overlook the facts that his mic skills are worse than reigns, we all know Vince is getting him scripted to say that corny shit, Bryan is just a sentence then yes yes yes. I love watching Bryan wrestle but he's boring as a person. Ppl shit on cena but dude is one of the best on the mic and Sunday proved he can give a top match. (Granted it was the Rollins show tho lol).

Wwe can't bitch up now and let the fans dictate what they do, I understand Bryan's over but with a real creative team they can fix this and still go reigns vs Brock. If they change it again it's like saying every time you guys cry we will concede and give u whatever flavor of the year wrestler you bitch for. Wwe can go on damage control mode or write their way outta this mess.

He's not great but he and Reigns are about the same right now.
There is nothing bitch about conceding to the wishes of your customers. Daniel Bryan isn't a flavor of the month, he's been the most over guy for the last three years, passing Cena and Punk.
The mistake was going with Reigns so quickly and watering him down.
This again exposes the bullshit about wrestlers needing to get themselves over and proves again what Punk said about Vince and his lies.
This is only acceptable in the modern WWE and Vince has done such a good job of re-educating fans, many don't mind it at all.

They are good but they're being presented horribly. In NXT, they were a hot team. But now that Vince has control over them and doesn't particularly care for them or about tag teams anyway, they look like shit.

 

[unknownsoldier]

I see the Heyman double cross coming. He's "respecting" RR, while Brock isn't...putting Reigns w/ Heyman would do wonders for his career, but seeing how Ross, Keller, etc...are calling for it, it probably won't happen.

I wouldn't mind Rollins to cash in at Mania & leave with the belt. Word is Brock would work more dates if they paid him per date they dropped the ball on that, the more he works the better the product would be.

I disagree, while Bryan is good he's never been better than punk, and his audience has and will never reach cenas. It's his catchphrase that's popular. Ppl loved punk and he was close to being a household name, but Vince made him stale.

Punk was always 2nd and even when Bryan was over punk was the draw. Ppl wouldn't turn in tickets for refunds cuz Bryan isn't there. Despite cena needing change, Bryan will never touch him in terms of popularity. Ppl who don't watch wwe know who punk and cena are, they don't know who Bryan is.

Bryan is a hell of a performer in the ring but like I said he is walking NyQuil as a person, reigns has been pushed too hard, they should've went the diesel route and let him be the silent renegade like someone said earlier.

I like Bryan but when they gave him the belt it was like "ok, he's had his moment, wtf do we do now??". It's like Rey mysterio, everyone wanted it but when it happened there's only so much you can do with him. Who's he gonna fight?? Brock?? Nobody with half a brain would even believe that the way Brock is tearing shit up. Bryan doesn't need the belt to be where he is and he's gonna have to prove he can be trusted to carry the wwe. I don't blame them for being scared to give him the strap, he's just come off major surgery.

As of right now Brock's contract expires after Mania. Brock is also considering going back to UFC. So it's very possible Heyman sides with Rollins or even Reigns. Sting will put HHH out of power most likely at Mania. Rollins ring style is that of a face so they can go either way.

But if anyone needs the rub from defeating the person who ended the streak it's a up in comer like Reigns. WWE honestly should have waited until after the rumble to activate Bryan to avoid the backlash.

You really can't blame WWE with going with Reigns. Cena will be 38 years old soon and his work load is going to be decreasing with all the injuries and stacked bump card. Bryan is 34 & a neck injury away from calling it quits. Orton is in his mid 30's also. Smackdown will be live Thursday. WWE can only hope that Reigns gets a good reception and hopefully Heyman can sell the match.

Bullshit. I don't know why there are people who don't want to give the guy credit for his achievements.
It's not his catchphrase, it's him. He's already more popular than Cena.
He's not better than Punk because Punk can talk on a high level but in the ring, they're equal and he was more popular than Punk when Punk left.

Punk was always 2nd and even when Bryan was over punk was the draw. Ppl wouldn't turn in tickets for refunds cuz Bryan isn't there. Despite cena needing change, Bryan will never touch him in terms of popularity. Ppl who don't watch wwe know who punk and cena are, they don't know who Bryan is.

He's already more popular than Cena.
People have canceled their Network subscriptions after the Rumble over Bryan so that part isn't true.
You're overselling Punk. Punk gets a lot of mainstream pub now because of his signing with UFC. He did nothing special to be any more mainstream than Daniel Bryan, who, btw, many non fans do know because his woman is on "Total Divas".

Bryan is a hell of a performer in the ring but like I said he is walking NyQuil as a person, reigns has been pushed too hard, they should've went the diesel route and let him be the silent renegade like someone said earlier.

I'm not a fan of his promos either but WWE fans are buying what he's selling and they need to push him hard. That's how you run a successful wrestling promotion: give the people what they want.
You can come up with names if you want, it doesn't change that the vast majority of WWE fans love the guy.
They did go the Diesel and are getting the same result: hot talent that the fans turn on because they take away the mystique that made him cool. Diesel went from the hottest guy in the business to a failed WWF champion.

I like Bryan but when they gave him the belt it was like "ok, he's had his moment, wtf do we do now??". It's like Rey mysterio, everyone wanted it but when it happened there's only so much you can do with him.

More nonsense. His reign was running out of steam because they put him with Kane. No one cares about Kane as a title challenger in 2014-2015 and the next step was for him to take Cena's asskicking by Brock at SummerSlam.
His title reign not taking off wasn't his fault since he doesn't book himself.

Who's he gonna fight?? Brock?? Nobody with half a brain would even believe that the way Brock is tearing shit up. Bryan doesn't need the belt to be where he is and he's gonna have to prove he can be trusted to carry the wwe. I don't blame them for being scared to give him the strap, he's just come off major surgery.

So what? Guys come back from major surgery all the time and pick up where they left off so why is Bryan different?
It's not a matter of needing the title, he's earned a run on top. He works hard, has good to great matches and is massively over.
They're not scared because he got hurt last year. Don't lie for them. Reigns got hurt too and more recently. Cena got hurt and came right back two years ago and beat Del Rio, even powering out of his finisher.

You really can't blame WWE with going with Reigns. Cena will be 38 years old soon and his work load is going to be decreasing with all the injuries and stacked bump card. Bryan is 34 & a neck injury away from calling it quits. Orton is in his mid 30's also. Smackdown will be live Thursday. WWE can only hope that Reigns gets a good reception and hopefully Heyman can sell the match.

That doesn't hold water. Everyone is a neck injury from calling it quits. With all the unnecessary crazy bumps and spots, guys are at risk all the time. If Bryan wasn't able to go, they wouldn't have booked him to work, much less work the schedule he has where they have clearly put the success of Smackdown on his shoulders.

I hate that Reigns has been caught up in this as he's a guy I thought was set for a big push from the first time the Shield jumped someone. But that doesn't change that despite getting over, like Vince and HHH claim they want guys to do, Bryan is overlooked and passed by for the second straight year. For the second straight year, he's not even scheduled in a featured match at the biggest show of the year while much less popular wrestlers are featured over him in bigger matches.

You watch wwe and you don't see why fighting Brock is the worst possible thing they could do to Bryan? Come on son, you can't be that big of a fan. Brock would cripple that little nigga by mistake. You naming big ppl and comparing them to Bryan, cenas a damn cyborg and reigns had a minor surgery. Shit I had that surgery and was back playing football in a month.

Bryan does deserve a push but I don't think he's a good match for Brock safety wise.

He was already scheduled for Brock last year so WWE isn't concerned with his safety. So that excuse doesn't hold up either.
Brock's a pro and he's worked with a lot of smaller guys, many if not all, who have had some kind of major surgery and they've all survived.
Another invalid reason for not booking your biggest, baddest heel with your most over babyface.

No it's not and if Bryan was to fight Brock it had to be before the neck surgery. You can spin it however you want but facts are facts Bryan wasn't in the rumble long for a reason. Brock damn near killed takers old ass and those niggas bffs.

Wwe doesn't want another edge situation and they are wise to stay away from it. The smallest guy Brock's worked with post ufc was punk and punk isn't even small.

No ones making an excuse but Brock vs Bryan probably isn't happening at the moment for a reason. How hard would it be to believe wwe honestly doesn't want to hurt someone who puts everything on the line in every big match too much too soon??

Brock's never faced a person Bryan's size who just came off two major surgeries so stop with that bullshit.

They have to go younger. Cena is aging & takes too many bumps at the PPVs & house shows. I don't think Bryan going against Lesnar was a good idea, dude is too physical for him w/ that neck.

That Bryan/Kane casket match was garbage. I wanted him in the Main event, but I think Bryan is done. It might be a good thing he's not in it at Wrestlemania. There has to be a reason why he's only faced Kane since last May.

That's what McMahon and HHH wanted. Now prepare for the era of Reigns.

speaking of the Rumble, when in the hell did Bully Ray aka Bubba Dudley get released from TNA?

A few months ago. It was before the destination America announcement.

So Triple H said he's going to make an announcement Monday that will shake the WWE to its core regarding the Rumble controversy.

Anybody wanna make a guess? Do they follow up and put Bryan in the Mania main event again making it obvious that they screwed up again?

Personally WWE could use a reset button. Bring back the draft. Make Bryan, Ambrose, Ryback, Newville, and maybe Bray Wyatt the stars, of Smackdown. Having an alternative to what has come the norm for WWE television would be good for business.
