Wrestling Thread April-September 2018 RIP

I think Joe should be the next Universal champ..I still think Braun ain’t ready and the Roman experiment is failing..Even as a heel champion RR just makes people want to tune out..Fans don’t hate home like they would a normal heel, they’re just tired of him..Dude gets boos mostly these days and then it’s silence..At least people like Miz and KO can keep the heat on themselves and get a constant reaction from the crowd..

They just can’t help themselves with Reigns. It’s year 4 of this 100% face Reigns experiment and it’s a complete failure. It worked after he beat Sheamus, then they screwed it up the very next week

Vince created and sacrificed a whole damn stable to get Reigns over and allowed himself to be washed as well and that only worked temporarily.
 
I'm all in for Joe getting a Universal Title Reign. :emoji_hugging:

LeBraun can get his coronation at Summerfest or Mania next year.
 
It has not been black & white up to this point though.
Raines is not the prototypical 100% face. His transition is visible.
"He's not the good guy...he's not the bad guy."

Just within the past week or so he was getting up in Perc Ankle's face,
telling him basically that he abstained from kicking his *** out of respeck.

They been putting the edge on Raines. His gimmick has been working better
lately. I just don't know how much of a performer he really is. The conviction
has started to emerge though.
 
i have little faith they turn reigns heel considering they never turn cena back to a heel and just made him look like a coward jobbing to 80 year old undertaker for no reason whatsoever

that kind of jobbing was like if cena was leaving to wcw. havent seen something like that in a while

did they even promote his movie?
 
Braun has earned that Universal Title more than Joe and is more popular right now.

If they don't put it on Braun, I'd rather they just keep it on Lesnar.
Or let Braun beat Raines for it.

He should never go full heel unless the timing & storyline are perfect. Anything less than perfect would be a waste.

Not being a 100% face and not being booked as a one are two different things. They still portray him like an underdog even though that’s not the case. Plus, it’s year 4 of this same booking. Meanwhile it was barely over a year before they realized Rocky Maivia needed a change and the rest is history.



This was the only reason they made that choice, the be able to create this
 
Braun is everything they wanted Roman to be


It will be interesting to see what they do with him as far as his feuds.

He's a monster babyface so you can't have him losing to just anyone.

Maybe they turn him heel but that won't work.
