NintendoLogic Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 10 hours ago, KawadaSmile said: Bryan was already on his way out and losing the title to EDGE is a big no-no. He promised he would stack 'em both and did it. People cheered. Yes! Yes! Yes! Roman was the only wrestler at WM37 who had serious heel heat. By the way, it's worth remembering that Edge was legitimately the most over babyface at that Mania, even getting cheered over Bryan. A year later, he's a heel who gets "we don't care" chants during his promos. Yet another bang-up job by WWE creative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wished Roman faced Edge in a singles match but Vince wanted him to make it a Triple Threat. (this is according to Bryan's own word btw). That's irrelevant, the point is Roman is a heel like HHH who doesn't make anyone or put anyone over. Exactly the same as HHH reign of terror, its about the product that the viewers see, not the backstage politics. What Bryan wanted is not important to creative end of the product, at the end of the match Roman had killed two babyfaces and left no one to make money with later in the year. I know it's not Roman who's booking this mess, so there is the big difference between him and HHH, but we as the viewers still suffer the bad booking and lack of top babyfaces to get behind. Perception is reality as Vince says and the reality is WWE booking is as bad as when HHH was on top for building future babyfaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because no one else is booked remotely strong or even like a top star on his level, apart from brock Lesnar in the build up. But Lesnar got owned in the wrestlemaina match and left no interest for a rematch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 Clash at the Castle is such a fucking great name, it's a shame they would NEVER make it a themed event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KawadaSmile Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 If that's closer to how she is in real life, better. But hey, SD even had two people upset they didn't answer to an open challenge. That is an uncommon detail they never get right. So far an excellent episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reel Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 In your somewhat regular reminder that NXT:UK is still a thing that exists, they had their 200th episode this week. Smith & Carter/Gallus and Devlin/Dragunov were both worth checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
