Re: The Official WWE Thread - Part 32

Nakamura has the charisma and wrestling. But I don't know what they will do with his mic work.

Which is why i want him on Smackdown, their storylines they have done since the brandsplit can somewhat hide that.

Also looking at it realistically, they are trying to put momentum behind Rollins as a babyface with the HHH feud, Balor is coming back i don't feel like Raw needs a babyface tbh.

Where as Cena is going away for a while so Smackdown needs a big time babyface to fill a spot along with AJ, Ambrose, Wyatt and Orton at the top of the card.

It just makes sense for Nakamura to find a spot on that show for now, of course it's Vince so he'll probably want him on Raw but as of right now Smackdown makes the most sense.

You can always switch it up after the draft.

I thought Rollins would be a lot better as babyface compared to his heel run, however he hasn't impressed at all. I know a lot of it is down to booking, but at the end of the day I don't think he's good enough to be a main eventer, as a face or a heel. His personality is just too ordinary and 'regular'. He lacks charisma imo.

Nakamura on the other hand has tons of charisma. Although as a top guy you need to be able to speak comfortably and get your point across. Maybe a mouthpiece might help.

I was one of the few who said Rollins' face turn wouldn't be as good as anticipated, due to the reasons above. I mean, he will catch some steam because of his program with HHH, but I think his lack of personality will hold him back from reaching that next level.

Nakamura is going to get raped by "what" chants. Give him a manager, and make all his promos pretaped. Essentially, a full-time Lesnar.

[Onyx]

It's going to take a lot of work for him to get over. On NXT, you basically come out with a cool entrance and wrestle 40 min matches.

Main roster there's backstage segments, interactions with other wrestlers/rebuttals, 20 min promos, in depth storylines etc etc. A lot to do for a guy who barely speaks English. Definitely needs a mouthpiece imo.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

I'm waiting to see with Rollins I don't like judging him on heatless feuds outside of HHH.

Post HHH if he still sucks, then I'll be concerned. On Nakamura I don't think he has to do massive promos to engage the audience.

Babyfaces like RVD or Jeff Hardy weren't forced into long promos, another thing that annoys me with today they want everyone to cut long promos and it hurts more than it helps imo.

If he can build his character and engage with the crowd that will be enough and as Kurt Angles HoF speech proved most of his moments weren't mic related but character related.
