The few times I tried listening to it it didn't really do anything for me.

Having Agnew refer to Carmella as a tranny was a bit much for me

I gave up on it fairly fast

 

[Toki767]

Imagine if WCW were like, 'Well we could get Psicosis... but we already have Rey!'

They were probably a package deal to Bischoff after their ECW match. Just like Guerrero/Malenko.

 

[Fox318]

In the constraints of WWE how do you get Roman Reigns if the following have to be kept in place:

• Can't turn him Heel
• Must be front and center of every public relations campaign
• Can't change gear because his face is plastered all over the place

I mean the one shot I can think of is that they purposely have him win the belt on smackdown and edit crazy cheers then book a massive Florida and Corpus Christi tour to markets that might be more friendly to him.

Create a staged event where he single-handedly saves a kitten from a burning building.

Get Repo Man to stage a robbery of Roman's home, and Roman stops it singlehanded with a Superman punch. Publicize it like it's the Second Coming, unlike the last time a Superstar stopped a home robbery. Give him Brie Bella and Bryan's dog while you're at it.

 

[Fox318]

Get ready folks!

I think he needs to win the belt in December and have a hot defense against somebody the crowd rejects like Shaemus. I mean that was the thought before with the Kane and Big show but having to win the approval of booking the night of in front of a smarky/adult/loud crowd is tough.

Brock didn't win the title first at Mania 19. He won it at Summerslam after he had a ton of time to develop.

 

[avengers23]

I'd say that the world is not ready for Lazy Roman Reigns except he already slept through most of a Rumble and a recent tag match.

 

[Data West]

Rumorms of someone else leaving AAA soon

I want it to be Del Rio going to CMLL and Myzteziz botching his ship jump and still getting Del Rio in his promotion

The crowd would shit on the match entirely. They wouldn't get behind Reigns or Sheamus.

Also Brock was already a former champion going into Mania 19. He won the title at SummerSlam 6 months after he debuted.

 

[klonere]

I'd say that the world is not ready for Lazy Roman Reigns except he already slept through most of a Rumble and a recent tag match.

Any kind of heel turn at the height of the backlash from the Rumble would have been amazing.

Sadly now he's just another midcard and the impact won't be the same if they ever do try and do something interesting with him. Just going through the motions.

 

[Jimmy King]

Reigns is gonna be okay, I think. He wants to get rich so he'll tell the creative staff he'll come up with his own stuff and deliver the goods for the audience.

 

[avengers23]

Their hosts are godawful. I'm spoiled by John Pollock and Jason Agnew, both GREAT guys for radio.

The few times I tried listening to it it didn't really do anything for me.

Agnew hosts the NXT podcast with Braden, and Agnew is near shit-tier.

Having Agnew refer to Carmella as a tranny was a bit much for me

I gave up on it fairly fast

Here's an example why.

 

[Data West]

"I need to go somewhere where they'll pay me for bad performances, let me do whatever I want, and no one will watch me and no one with a future will ever go there"

 

[Bandini]

I wonder what Vince thinks of Seth. You never hear about how Vince or anybody thinks he sucks. What's the deal?

Why would they think that? He's nailed every big moment and is still majorly over as a heel despite questionable booking. He is easily a top 3 overall WWE talent, a true workhorse.

Reveal that the ref from WM30 actually counted a two count but Heyman paid him off to put Brock over. Streak's still intact. Roman beats Brock at Royal Rumble, then claims the streak at WM where he also wins the title in a callback to the Miracle on Bourbon Street. Taker is so impressed with him, that he teaches him the secret of the tombstone. Roman then uses it to permanently retire Kane (TO HELL!) before challenging Cena to a match where Roman puts the title on the line versus Cena's fans' undying Hustle, Loyalty and Respect. Cena doesn't even compete in the match, he just shakes Roman's hand and marches out of the arena and into retirement. Roses litter the ring as the audience loses their minds. Then the titantron lights up:

Hustle. Loyalty. Reignspect(TM).

When I scrolled down I thought that was Peg Bundy. I'm gonna write an apology letter to Katey Sagal.

[Menome]

WrassleGAF, I fancy an avatar change. Winter's on the way, along with the most stressful and depressing time of the year for me, so I don't want to be all pouty-faced.

Therefore I offer it up to you to supply me with a new avatar. I like Sandow, I like Ambrose, I like New Day and I like Owens, so there's a starting point if you want it.

No reward I'm afraid, except the delight of seeing your work paraded around by me until January.

Send him to a better acting coach. He's not any worse than a bunch of these other guys at actual wrestling, he just sounds like a King Cheese Cornball every time he opens his mouth.

 

[Heroman]

Roman just isn't the guy, and as soon as wwe realizes that the better.

thats the point.

Its tough as shit to get over a guy the crowd doesn't want at mania to win the belt.

I mean look at the list of guys that won their first World title win at Wrestlemania

Randy Savage
The Ultimate Warrior
Yokozuna (Really shouldn't count)
Shawn Micheals
Steve Austin
Benoit
John Cena
Batista
Rey Mysterio
Sheamus
Seth Rollins

Many of the other guys that won belts won before hand and with the exception of Sheamus most of them were over with the crowd.

 

[Ithil]

If they actually chanted "match of the year" and that's not a joke, yeah, fuck them indeed. That's immersion breaking and story breaking. Fans should be pretending like it's real.

Why?
The heel authority figures don't.

 

[SallyIsNow]

If Roman wrestles Brie for the WWEWHC he might be able to garner some support. I don't think there's a worse wrestler in the world than Brie Bella.

 

[Fintan]

I don't like Agnew or Lovranski. The main LAW show is pretty bad compared to Review-A-Raw, Wai, and Impact.

Bauer and Pollock can be good. Never tried WhatsNXT because I didn't like Agnew from the main show.

Switch Ambrose and Reigns' names. Push the former Ambrose as Reigns instead.

In 2 years he be a sheamus, and they would move on to crews to be the next guy.

Becky Lynch man.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Dean should be the one turning heel. I think he can pull off a RAven type character. His bipolar shit just comes across as cheesy as a face.

That's probably why Dean can't be a Raven type character.
Raven worked because you watched him long enough to know it was a bullshit facade. That he wasn't really that dark and he was just playing a character to get followers to win titles to get attention.


Dean's pre-WWE promos were shitty Heath Ledger promos complete with rubber clown masks. Talking about how he grew up in the projects and fought people 'for real' and used guns. Dude is a fucking cornball.

He's the most over face they have right now.
