Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The problem with WWE isn't the talent its that WWE is laser-fucking-focused on putting over Roman Reigns to the exclusion of the entire roster which has been telegraphed by years of giving Roman big important hero spots and backstage information letting everyone know that Vince has a perpetual hard-on for Roman Reigns and his imaginary relationship with the Rock.

With Reigns hiding in the back for 3 hours and 48 minutes of it.

Right now I'd be booking AJ Styles vs Neville to elevate both on the card because it'd be guaranteed gold. Run it back and forth in a contest of one up-manship for a little while to draw attention. Meanwhile start running Owens and Zayn vs other folks and have them interrupt each other. Draw it out so you can use the inevitable Owens vs Zayn match to promote a PPV. Push one of them into a feud with Balor and bring him out there. Rotate those folks around each other as much as possible and work in Ambrose since he can put over matches on the mic and with psychology even if he aint up to any of these guys in level of technical skill.
The rest of the card is filler. I'd let Brock playout vs the Wyatts, finish the League of Nations vs Roman thing and then push Roman into the Wyatts or Lesner fights one after the other throughout the year so he is always vs adversity. He'll either get over or he'll die out. Put him in there and see which because he was so not over at the Rumble he was booed and they worried if he was left in with HHH as the last man the audience would turn on him and actually cheer HHH which would ruin their angle for him.
In other words...let Roman cook awhile longer because he's not ready to serve yet. Push the performers you bought in from ROH, NJPW and other indies because they can make a fucking mop look good in the ring. Use them to build quality PPV matches and top card end of the night finales.

Honestly, I'd finish off the Stroman with the Wyatts mid year after Brock is done and break Stroman off as lost and uncertain. He's a monster without direction rejected from the only thing he ever knew...and at this point who should happen to come to help him figure out himself? Kane...
This way you can evolve Stroman as some creepy monster from a cult group who later turned even darker under the influence of another monster. Why this angle? Because Taker and Kane look like shit out there but the gimmick still sells. Push someone with the size to put over the gimmick out there who has the build up to back it up once he gets into the role. Just imagine Stroman starting to do Chokeslams and Kane/Taker spots...he hasn't got enough spots of his own and this would fill in the gaps just like it did for Kane in the ring. Plus they're used to The Wyatts wearing weird masks and being creepy. That means you could put Stroman in a mask and get creative with his look which will be needed because lets face it...he hasn't got a look and none of the Wyatts do except Bray.
Anyhow thats my two cents on how to work Stroman into something useable on the card.
At least the finally released AJ Style's intro music.

Him and lana made their engagement public on social media while involved in a pretty embarrasing on screen storyline where they where broken up and lana was with ziggler and people backstage think we are dumb and can't separate storyline and reality. They immediately killed that story and both have been in the dog house ever since.

Buff Bagwell is available if WWE is looking for an opponent for Taker at Mania.

Time to bring back Punk and redo the SES with Gallows.

He was already being made to look like a punk after the Cena feud anyway. Cena is toxic for heels being pushed.

I love this hipop track about a Southern blue-collar country boy.
Damn, didn't know most of them are injured. I thought they were just being off staged.
That list could make an episode of RAW already.

Wrasslegaf got banned until February so they're basically making stealth threads to take up time as you can see. It went from the first page about sheamus all the way to Daniel Bryan ,roman reigns and Aj styles completely changing subjects. Keep testing the mods we won't get back wrasslegaf at all .

They are related subjects. Sheamus being injured is a big story considering the current state of the roster due to injuries and the fact that the biggest Wrestling Show of all time is slated to occur in a little over 2 months. So having discussion of what is left in the roster to fill the void, or what could be brought back in to fill that void is legitimately associated to the topic at hand.

The release of Aj styles music is associated with the topic at hand how ?

Man... Hideo has been out for nearly a year and is reportedly still not close to a comeback?
What happened to him again? I just remember NXT wrote him off with a old school parking lot attack aftermath video.

Shouldn't the mods make that statement....

Obviously it didn't do as intended. He was supposed to be back before Sami.

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
andddddd its been posted
He had a shoulder injury and surgery. The complications from the surgery have apparently put him in a "not coming back any time soon" status.

I just remember that Mania backstage video about Hideo in the Battle Royale. I hope he recovers and can have a shot at the main roster
I guess you could say so but they're still being extra careful about it, that's why it was such a short match.

Come on man, do not get this one locked also.
They will definitely keep Sheamus on tv because the Turtles movie is going to be getting teasers and whatnot plus they can not afford to lose people.
Fortunately for the WWE that faction turned into a joke pretty quick.

Factions besides the Authority only exist to be destroyed by Cena and now Roman is picking up the Reigns.

Wrestle-GAF has received several warnings through several threads about shit/gimmick/meme posting lol
Main thread is banned until February as well.
They did
Forgive this rant but allow me to vent. So sick of people shitting on wrestling. I got like five people shitting on me everytime I watch wrestling. Yes, I know it's fake you fucking idiot. Just let me enjoy this guilty pleasure. I don't go to your house and shit on the stupid shit you watch. Fuck your pretensiousness as if your above it all. Allow me this brief escape.

It sucks that he's injured, but I honestly can't say I'll miss seeing Sheamus. As far as the more "popular" wrestlers go, his character is my most hated. I just find him really dull.
He's no different than Big Show and Kane - irrelevant.
Hope he gets better though.

GAF, I may have committed a cardinal sin. I don't like this theme at all, it's pretty lame especially those awful lyrics.

It's amazing how many people are injured right now.
On a happy note, AJ Styles didn't cripple Curtis Axel on Smackdown when he hit him with the Styles Clash.
