AtariLegend Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Roman Reigns wins Superstar of the Year? Are they serious? At least in previous years it was semi believable. I guess that's the sign that he really will get the mega push this coming year. Just don't know why. Even Cena had a fanbase surge behind him once a decade ago before they overdone ir. Reigns has what?On the other hand, I'm just reading the results. Can't be bothered with 3 hour episodes of Raw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Reigns is Vince's new Cena. Just typical Vince thinking wrestling is still about big stale powerhouse guys like it was in the 80's. It was hilarious when he said on Austin's podcast recently that he wasn't out of touch with today's audience. It's even more hilarious now. Crowds just massively rallied behind Bryan and then they all got really excited about Ambrose while Rollins was generating some real heel heat. So they decide yeah, you know what, let's ignore that and shove Reigns down their throat instead. To Reigns' defence, I do think he has potential. But not for this kind of super push (yet). You already had the ball rolling with Ambrose and Rollins. Why favour this idea over what's obviously working? That's pure arrogance on Vince's part. Again.

bacardimayne Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 If they want to make Reigns a star, having him beat Lesnar at Mania is not the way to go. All that'll do is turn the fans hostile towards him. What they need to do is have him beat Cena. Now that probably means Cena beats Lesnar at the Rumble, but I don't even think Reigns' ascension match needs to be for the title. Just have Cena lose his title shot at TLC, try to earn it back at the Rumble and get eliminated by Reigns. To me, this card: Lesnar vs. Bryan (WWE Title) Cena vs. Reigns Rusev vs. The Rock Triple H vs. Sting looks a lot better than: Lesnar vs. Reigns (WWE Title) Cena vs. Rusev HHH vs. Sting Bryan vs. Rollins or some shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also taken the liberty to add Ambrose-Rollins to your list. Maybe add Wyatt-Undertaker? I think they're still going with Sting-Taker. Which would be my dream match in 1997.

username Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I don't think Taker will wrestle at Mania this year.I'm pretty sure he will. But I also kind of want it to be his retirement match. Have him go into the HOF the night before. He's turning 50 in March. It'd make sense. And I kind of want it to be against either Kane or Wyatt, if we have to keep it within the current roster.

Gunner55 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I'm a huge Jericho mark but that guy needs to shut the hell up already about CM Punk. Between his many interviews and his podcast, I'm sick of him talking about "people forget I was in a similar situation with wrestling in 2005 yada yada yah." Like, Punks done. It doesn't matter. Move along. Kinda agree with what Punk said, seems jericho is using the whole fiasco to get more attention to his podcast. How many times I see recently "tune into my podcast this week where I'll address the CM Punk situation and his comments!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) Skimmed through NXT Revolution, watched the whole main event. Pretty good match, though undoubtedly the NXT nerds will overrate it and call it MOTY when it was really about a **** match. Looking forward to Owens vs. Zayn. If it's anything like their work in the indies it should be a great feud. I see potential in Zayn to become the next annoying superface who never turns heel or loses clean. Calling it now, in 3 years ZAYNWINSLOL will be a thing in WWE. Edited December 12, 2014 by bacardimayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roush Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I forgive Paul Levesque for overplaying his Hogan Card all those years ago. While his Reign Of Terror turned me off wrestling for over a decade, NXT has reeled me back.Bah, doesn't have Cena on it. People won't watch.They'll never know until they try.

Least there was an element of "Oh they're doing this now?" with him coming back tonight. Expect Orton and possibly Bryan at the Rumble, with the usual one offs.

bacardimayne Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 The Rumble is going to have 40 people, so expect the NXT five along with a few surprise returns for Reigns to feed on. Honestly WWE right now is even worse than it was in that mid-2012 stretch with Johnny Ace and Cena attempting to lift the Big Show main eventing over Punk's reign.
