Who in the world would tune in to current RAW Laughing

When Sheamus' promo is the best thing about RAW, you know it's time to start watching Lucha underground

Apparently Rock's no longer gonna be at WM due to filming commitments.

And this surely has to be a troll rumour.

While WWE nixed original plans for Roman Reigns to win the WWE World Heavyweight Title at Survivor Series, and went with Sheamus as champion, that is still the long-term goal for the title.

It’s interesting that WWE went with the big elaborate coronation with Reigns right before Sheamus cashed-in as that is still what they want to eventually do with him.

There’s a feeling within WWE that some fans see Reigns as the corporate pick, so he gets booed by some of them at WWE TV tapings and pay-per-view events. The solution appears to be to keep having The Authority screw Reigns and keep him from the title, which they hope will cause the same fans to get behind Reigns and want him to win the title.

WWE officials hope fans get behind Reigns and support him before they “pull the trigger” on his big push as the centerpiece of the company, which you could say they have already done based on how he’s booked.

Isn't that basically Bryan's storyline? Laughing

by Onyx Fri Nov 27, 2015 3:45 pm

I hope it's a troll rumour. Surely they don't think people are going to suddenly like him because he's being screwed in storylines.

by RealGunner Fri Nov 27, 2015 3:46 pm

don't really care about wwe anymore. But it'd be hilarious to see if fans keep on cheering whenever reigns get screwed.

People do like him now lol, the people that don't are a very small minority. Just look at the reaction he gets and it's quite obvious that the majority of people like him.

Not there was any reason to dislike him anyway. That's what makes the Sheamus thing so hilarious, he got a good reaction and then Sheamus came out LMAO.

WWE must have been like.... "Oh crap they like him, quick someone tell Sheamus not to go out there ffs".

Nah Reigns still gets booed occasionally. And if he ever does win the title, he'll get the Cena reaction consistently. Plus people are in the right when they boo him. He's being forced down their throats by being pushed as the main guy when he's a million miles away from being worthy of that spot. If it wasn't for his look, he'd be on superstars weekly jobbing to Adam Rose.

Best thing for Reigns would be to turn heel, drop the shield act, work on a new gimmick, which should automatically improve his subpar mic skills since he'll have a purpose. Then if he's good, he'll organically get over with the entire audience and at the point give him the title.

by Lucifer Sun Nov 29, 2015 5:50 pm

He ain't got personality to play strong heel imo neither he would cut good exciting promos.

Watching these goat intros, how did it get so bad. Sad

Hardcore History: The Extremely Unauthorized Story of ECW wrote:The next day, December 4, Heyman and McMahon among those flying to Charleston, South Carolina, Heyman pitched opening the December 5 ECW show with Ariel and Kelly in a match, telling viewers interviews with Lashley, Van Dam, and Punk were going on right then and would be seen later in the show. McMahon didn’t like the idea, fearing fans in the arena would chant for Punk. Heyman asked why that was a bad thing, as it showed the fans cared about someone on the flagging ECW show. McMahon reportedly threw his glasses on the floor and shouted, “Get this through your thick *bleep* head—my focus is on Bobby Lashley and only Bobby Lashley! That man is the brand's icon, the brand's superhero. He is ECW and he will be, at the expense of Rob Van Dam, CM Punk, Test, and everyone else, and you can hit the door if don't like it!”

Since WWE seem to be signing up TNA's roster, hopefully Jeff Hardy returns soon. And as a singles main event competitor, not as some nostalgia tag team wrestler as part of the Hardy boyz.

Goat theme song.

by Onyx Mon Nov 30, 2015 1:16 pm

Also while they're at it, they should bring back main event Jericho, get heel Batista back, turn Cena heel, bring back Bryan and Punk. Never gonna happen but meh. The show would actually be watchable.

by RealGunner Mon Nov 30, 2015 1:16 pm

I'll email Vince

Basically, Vince needs to rewind time so it's 2009 again.

Ruthless aggression era was goat compared to what's on now. Even Smackdown was 1000x better than current RAW. Punk/Hardy feud, Taker, Batista, Edge, Eddie, Cena, JBL, Booker T, Angle, the cruiserweight division etc.

by Onyx Mon Nov 30, 2015 1:44 pm

Would bring back: Jericho, Punk, Bryan, Hardy, heel Batista, heel Cena, Angle as some sort of authority figure and JR as commentator.

RAW back to 2 hours.

Hire Russo as head writer, with Heyman supporting him.

Change the colouring, RAW intro, the ring design, ramp etc to something new.

Focus more on storylines, less filler wrestling matches.

Release the likes of Reigns, Rollins, Rusev, Cesaro, Neville, Fandango, Matadores, El Torito and the rest of this crappy generation of wrestlers. Maybe keep a few like Rollins as a high flying babyface midcarder and Neville. Obviously Ambrose and Wyatt too.

Stop hyping NXT like it's the next big thing. Make it into its own brand and don't ever associate it with the main show.

hmm

What happened to that new wyatt member. Bloody Baron or something

Not heard of him in ages

WWE stealing characters made by CD Projekt Red ? smh

by Tomwin Lannister Mon Nov 30, 2015 5:51 pm

He's just kinda hovering around, choking people out on Smackdown so I imagine he's still being trained up because since trading in strong man competitions for rasslin he's had like 5 matches.
