Becky Balboa is the face we deserve but apparently not the one we need right now according to WWE.

She been spitting hot fire and nothing but facts since here heel turn.

Uh oh

 

[green rhino123]

Becky's tweet above does not come off as full heel.
She had to slip in that she was morally justified and depicted as the victim.

Maybe this is exactly want they want from her? If not, she ain't even trying.

Well, I was responding to what Lance Ito was saying. He introduced the concept of Seth could/should be carrying the company, so he shouldn't be in the opening match.

I view someone "Carrying" the company as someone that, if they left" the company would see a significant drop in viewership/attendance.

I don't think if Seth Rollins died tonight, WWE would see a drop in anything.

I don't believe there's a wrestler there that would cause viewership to drop as a result of their departure

So "carry" has more of a kayfabe meaning when speaking about WWE

Roman is the person who is presented in that role currently, but I think Seth could fit in that role as well

That’s not what was said...

In summary it was said you build the company around that guy, he should be on (close) to the main event because he is important. When you open the show it doesn’t show you’re a main eventer or you can support the company on your back, regardless of what Sullivan has or has not said. But continue with your narrative per usual.

Side note: It was also said (by me) I enjoyed the match but it was a burn off.

DC always twisting words but he talk about NTextremes......

Yeah, I wonder if she even studies heels or if she is confusing being “edgy” with being a heel.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

That whole era os cringe worthy

 

[dman14]

I think Seth could carry the company

didnt they do that already and he killed Sting
at this point, it really doesn't matter. marks going to complain one way or the other regarding who should be the top guy and they'll still end up watching the product

Either doing what she's told or she doesn't really want to be a heel which could be considered insubordination imo.
But we don't know what she's being told to do.

 

[Blue Mamba]

Like I said before, it looked like she really didn't want to give that promo on Smackdown

So based on how SS was actually structured, where would you have put Seth/Dolph? - Here are the results, in order:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SummerSlam_(2018)#Results

After Rousey/Bliss.

He was a heel at that point and nowhere near as over as he is now

Not the same

 

[Blue Mamba]

Wasn't that the result of Sting just being old though? I don't think he or Sting did anything wrong there. Just shouldn't have done a powerbomb buckle spot to a (IIRC) 56 year old

nah, seth was wreckless. he's a lot more careful but dude was really ******* up.
finn out with that shoulder and ruined his momentum
broke cena's nose and nearly put a ppv match in jeopardy
injured and forced the legend Sting before he could even chalk up a solo W in the wwe

Not the same

he was over as a heel too. he was getting great reactions from the crowd and playing that slimy heel

During the JJ Security days?

Man he was nowhere near the level he is currently on

Demon Kane put an end to all that nonsense.

The Finn one was both their faults IMO. Seth for not throwing him close enough and Finn for putting his arm back

The Cena one was on him though

 

[green rhino123]

Seth' peak

 

[noblekane]

sting never got injured in tna right?

they should have protected him better in wwe. guy was in his 50’s

if crossfit seth is going to launch little finn, make sure he hits the padding/barricade. he misjudged how far he could have actually thrown him.

 

[green rhino123]

I think Rollins can still be effective as an Intercontinental Champion or helping put Roman Raines over.

 

[noblekane]

the wwe fans are conditioned to liking the product no matter what happens

they couldlose their top 5 guys and the ratings probably wouldnt take a hit. their roster is loaded

the fans can boo all they want and voice their displeasure but they wont stop watching or supporting the product.

they are the only major fed in the usa and nothing will ever change that
