Strummer Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 Yeah I don't think it's automatic that Seth fails as a main eventer again just because his 2015 run flopped. They would def. have to change how they present main eventers for it to work, I don't see them doing that but I say there's a chance he can succeed on top. Plus I think he's at a point where the hardcores are going to cheer him no matter what IIconics come across as doing sketch comedy on a wrestling show.

Mad Dog Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 I mean he could main event if they stop with the extended promos every show. Rollins would need to talk less than they want their top guys to talk. If you can protect Rollins there, I think he has a good chance.

SomethingSavage Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 What's the definition of succeeding on top though? Business doesn't tank? Because I don't expect that, by any means. But he's not going to excel or anything. And the matches will be "good" from an action-filled standpoint, but they'll also be monotonous and repetitive. Because he's incapable of selling angles or stakes. I guess it's just a matter of tastes & preferences. If you dig the matches as isolated matches - like turning a video game on & off afterwards, with no ramifications or continuity attached - then sure. You'll probably dig it. But yeah. I wouldn't expect a Seth main event run to make a dent either way. But that's more about the nature of their business model today than anything. The story development, the presentation of the program, his nonexistent character, and his inability to make a single thing mean ANYthing still convinces me that it would suck all the same - regardless of how bulletproof their model seems to be at the moment.

Mad Dog Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 Yeah. I think all you can do in today's WWE is keep the ship stable. Even without the current climate, keeping business stable is an underrated trait for main eventers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 Not today, but long-term, it will be TV ratings that determine who gets pushed and if theyre acceptable in the role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
