Turn Rollins face when he comes back. Bring the Shield back together as the top babyfaces. Doesn't mean that they have to have nothing but tag matches...just make them the top babyface stable. Get a manager involved and have someone coaching Reigns to improve. Meanwhile you have two other popular guys also involved in top feuds. I don't see why this is so difficult.

That Redditor is absolutely correct here. Stop trying to build shit around one guy. Hell, half the time it doesn't even matter when the focus is on the ever-aging part-timers anyway. What's big in WWE right now? HHH is champ. He's part-time if that. Taker versus Shane. Brock. None of these guys are on the active full-time roster.

Alternatively, turn Reigns HEEL and get him a mouthpiece if needed. If he's booked right and gets better on the mic and in the ring, he can turn babyface...just like the Rock did.

Ditto for Cena. TURN HIM FUCKING HEEL. It will breath life into the character. Stop forcing shit.

And this is the same complaint that people have had for what...12 years now?

Cena was fine last year. That was refreshing.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #2462 on:** February 25, 2016, 04:24:41 PM »

Cena's already a heel to half the crowd, officially turning him would just flip reactions and potentially lower his merch sales, I just don't see it happening. Would it be great and freshen up an insanely stale character? Yeah, but would Vince ever say yes to his long running primary concern and breadwinner being eeevil?

It was nice to see some relevancy brought to the U.S. title, but that quickly died out and got stale.

It wouldn't exactly "fix" things. But might as well go deep with Roman as top face while giving him a heel to battle him, and who better than the former face of the company?

Could be big, yeah.

See, I don't get the merchandise thing. Heels can sell stuff too-- look at the nWo. Do it right and the shit will sell.

That's the key here- do it right. And I don't have faith that they can.

You guys have a problem with Cena being at the top of the card and them not making new stars but you're fine with him being top heel?

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #2465 on:** February 25, 2016, 07:33:53 PM »

I think it's more resignation to him being at the top of the card no matter what, so why not have him be a heel?

dkdk · « **Reply #2466 on:** February 25, 2016, 08:31:18 PM »

Yeah sure it's something different. After a decade plus of SuperCena crap we're owed a heel run.

ngl brehs I marked out like a small child when Shane's music hit. i really thought he wasn't ever coming back.

Exactly. And a heel like that can help build actual new top babyfaces.

Same. Actually I wasn't watching and just checked in on some results, and was like "whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?"

I wonder how much convincing it took to get him to come back.

Mods Help · « **Reply #2468 on:** February 26, 2016, 04:43:56 PM »

They need new top heels as much as they new top babyfaces.

Four days away from a weekend full of wrasslin, BBQ, drinking, and arcades in Dallas.

bork · « **Reply #2478 on:** March 30, 2016, 01:11:43 PM »

'Mania is this weekend. And the hype is even less than last year.

Man. When was the last time that the card was so lackluster?

RAW did an awful job at building things up-- the best part was Shane's (missed, lol) elbow drop off the top rope on Taker...which was at the beginning of the show. Way to kill the crowd.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #2479 on:** March 30, 2016, 04:26:09 PM »

I'm a bit hyped for WM. Ambrose/Lesnar should be killer, same for Shane/Taker. HHH/Reigns will be fun and I can't wait to hear the entire crowd boo the living shit out of Reigns. And Charlotte/Sasha/Becky should be great too.

The card is pretty good IMO.

nachobro · « **Reply #2480 on:** March 30, 2016, 04:35:49 PM »

I'm definitely biased since I'm going but I think it'll be fun. The preshow stuff isn't worth much but I'll be getting a beer and hot dog then anyway.

Ladder match will be a nice spot fest, Ambrose/Lesnar should be a mauling and I expect some good spots from that too, Ladies Triple Threat will almost certainly be the best wrasslin of the night, Shane/Taker will be a gimmick filled mess hopefully with a run-in or two, Tag match will be great because New Day is the best. HHH/Roman will be the only one that I'm not super excited about but I imagine something interesting will happen.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #2481 on:** March 30, 2016, 04:43:38 PM »

I sure am glad that the WWE promptly buried AJ in a nothing feud with Jericho, good job guys

nachobro · « **Reply #2482 on:** March 30, 2016, 04:49:04 PM »

It's resulted in the best heel work Jericho has done in years so it's not all bad news. Should be a good blow off match too, then AJ can move on to real shit.

Damn good Takeover! Best wrasslin show I've ever been to.

Balor almost certainly got hurt though. Not sure if they showed it on the Network but he had to be helped out to the back by a couple guys. Might have something to do with the abrupt ending.

seagrams hotsauce · « **Reply #2486 on:** April 02, 2016, 02:08:42 AM »

That fucking sucks, was kinda hoping for a Bayley/Balor club Raw. Still the best shit since WK, personally liked it better

Anyone watch the HoF? The Freebirds stuff was INSANE.

Mania:

New Womens' title shown on the preshow. It's the same as the Men's title, but with a white belt. No more "Divas". They're just superstars.

Brie Bella actually did pretty well tonight...and this might have been her last match, lol.

Lana's ass

Holy shit, Ryder won the IC title...but I bet nothing comes of it like when he was a champ before.

Kevin Owens got killed out there.

It wasn't a title match, and they got to have a Mania segment with three of the most over dudes in the history of the company. Not a bad deal, though it doesn't make a whole lot of sense 'story wise' lollolol

The women's match was really good, botches and ending aside.

Surprised they are still holding the Andre battle royale off. It got moved from pre-show to this far up on the card-- something's going to happen. My guess...Cena.
