I mean I guess he’s too small for them but I don’t see him being any smaller than Edge, Aj, Bryan, Kofi or Punj.

Just checked, Edge is 6'5 and 241lbs while Balor is 5'11 and 190lbs. Punk is listed as a little taller at 6'2.

AJ is the same height at Balor, but AJ looks like he has more weight on him.

Balor is around the same height as both Bryan and Kofi, but reread what I wrote about Kofi/Bryan. Balor would have to duplicate their respective movements to get put into the top of the card at this point.

I think he could. I might be misremembering it but when he was on RAW before his injury I thought he was one if not their biggest star at that time. At least top 3 on Raw.

He wasn't there long before his injury. When he came back, he was kind of floundering, which is why he got squashed by The Fiend and went back to NXT

Yeah Balor had a huge pop his first night. They even put him over clean against Reigns after he got caught up for a banned substance. HHH was always high on him and Finn had the cool guy vibe. They just don't know how to book/write faces. Dean Ambrose was pushing hit dog carts as a top face. We know how bad Roman was booked. Seth's face run failed.

Yeah that’s a good ass point. They’ve found their lane with heel Reigns but damn they can’t do shit right when it comes to faces....

Yeah but to me that was more of a reflection of WWE then it was him.

pretty much
if the WWE wants they can strap a rocket to anyone's back and let them rock for 6 months to a year to see if they got it (ie Jinder Mahal)

but we some guys like Nak, Caesaro, Kofi, Finn, etc they focus on all the negatives while ignoring the postitves
DB & AJ are really the exceptions that prove the rule. Vince has a type and if you dont fit his type it'll be very tough to break that glass ceiling

You right there...Makes you wonder if he just allows certain smaller guys to hold the title just so people can't use that against him.....

Big stiff white guys are his thing that's clear and hell you get a guy like Drew who's big, white and can move around the ring? Shit I'm shocked Vince don't have the title on him. He must be gearing him up for a year long title run at some point.

Drew couldn’t move the needle and was champion during Raw’s lowest rated shows.

look at the last five years, with the exception of Brock Lesnar (who is a draw and much better than people give him credit for), Roman Reigns who they tried pushing to the moon, Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt who were fan favorites, we’ve had a mixed bag as far as Champions.

Although its always been muscle head white dudes, WWE has changed it up a bit in the last five years to include others at the top of the card. Cream always rises to the top; see Styles, Bryan, Kofi, Wyatt, Owens....

WWE Title:
  • Roman Reigns
  • Seth Rollins
  • Dean Ambrose
  • AJ Styles
  • Cena
  • Bray Wyatt
  • Randy Orton
  • Jinder Mahal
  • AJ Styles
  • Daniel Bryan
  • Kofi Kingston
  • Brock Lesnar
  • Drew McIntyre
  • Orton
  • Drew McIntyre
  • The Miz
  • Bobby Lashley

Then we have the Universal Title:
  • Finn Baylor - UC for a minute
  • vacated
  • Kevin Owens
  • Goldberg
  • Brock Lesnar
  • Roman Reigns
  • vacated
  • Brock Lesnar
  • Seth Rollins
  • Brock Lesnar
  • Seth Rollins
  • The Fiend Bray Wyatt
  • Goldberg
  • Braun Strowman
  • The Fiend Bray Wyatt
  • Roman Reigns

:bravo::bravo::bravo: WWE/WWF always has the best storyline doesn’t matter who‘s the competition.

Having Roman turn heel with a Paul Heyman by his side is perfect. And Pat McAfee is like JR and Jerry Lawler in one. SmackDown is better than Raw now.

P.S. Acknowledge Me

Lol. Smackdown has been better than Raw for years.

Great they finally got rid of that shitty belt. I guess they made it super small cause of Riho but when Nyla Rose won it, they kept her with that little ass belt. Made the division seem like a joke with that little kid belt along with the lack of talent.

The new belt still looks small. Much better than the original but they still look tiny.

The center plate should be bigger. Not a fan of the WWE logo center plate for their top championships, but the size of their Women's division belts fit.

I never felt that way, but I can understand that opinion. I got back into watching it regularly in 2018. I took a break after WrestleMania 30. I was there 15 rows back from the ring when Undertaker lost to Lesnar. The shock that went through the room would be like if Christians found out that Jesus was actually gay. That moment was insane.

Pat McAfee is definitely a character. Him and Michael Cole are the dynamic duo now. I like Corey Graves, Byron Saxton, and Samoa Joe‘s commentary too.

The NXT UK Women's title is the best in any promotion. It just looks like a championship title.

The new AEW title does look better than the old one, but I wish they got rid of that old-school style.

Guessing Omega wanted the title to be inspired by the Joshi's (Japanese female wrestlers) title belts.
 
2 observations

this match has had alot of botches
and is it just me or are they pulling a double turn

Britt needs to be champ but they gotta turn Shida heel to do it.
