If you're going to pick one thing to not shut up about, not actually hurting your opponent is a good one. It is literally the whole point of professional wrestling.

Ha ha. Her defense is that a doctor thinks she's retarded.

Just to recap: Smackdown main event faces: Cena, Ambrose, Orton RAW main event faces: Reigns RAW is three hours long Monday Night Football starts in eight weeks

I don't want to live in a world where we have to doubt that someone who looks like Brock Lesnar got that way without the use of performance enhancing drugs.

I think the problem is that the fans (or, to put in a better perspective, let's say customers) like certain things and don't like other things, and they would rather have more of the thing they like and less of the thing they don't like. Now, Roman may be green eggs and ham and if people would just try it they'll find they like it (I don't think that's the case, and they've had to eat green eggs and ham for two years now and never come around on it, so, really...). But nobody is under the impression this is a real sport any more. That time is so far gone and so completely dead and decomposed and beyond the point of identifying the body at this point. So while Alex Rodriguez or LeBron James or Floyd Mayweather may be supremely unlikable people, they're going to be on top because there isn't anyone better than them. That is not the case in the world of fiction! Everyone knows there's no reason Roman has to be on top. I think the only way for Roman to be salvaged is put him in midcard stuff and keep him there until he wins the crowd over. If he can't do it in the midcard, he certainly isn't going to do it in the main event.

Well, as someone that hates Reigns, the idea of pushing him as an invincible brooding badass who kills everyone sounds like hot garbage. It also sounds like the exact hot garbage we're already getting. So I'm very skeptical your idea will work.

Yeah, this. Every now and then, someone on here suggests, "You know what would work for Roman? Pushing him harder." I'm always flabberghasted. How many times do you need to see that not work before you realize it won't work? The last five times we threw gasoline on the fire, it only made things worse, but I've got a really good feeling about time number six.

A match that Does nothing for Brock Does nothing for Randy Does nothing for the audience

So, there's two options here: People hate Reigns because of Danielson People hate Reigns regardless of Danielson What on Earth could be the goalposts for disregarding the first scenario, if you still think it's the more plausible explanation at this point?

I'm not a good guy I'm not a bad guy Goodbye

FUCK! I just found out about this and I was going to make this joke (which I'm still going to make, I guess): I'm not a good guy I'm not a bad guy I'm so fuckin' high

On the other hand, congratulations on getting out of the half-minus-seven category. You're supposed to add seven, of course...

So two of the seven matches at Extreme Rules are no-DQ-and-up?

I would just like to point out that "The Boot of Doom" is such a powerfully lame name for a finisher that it would be laughed out of the dorkiest Dungeons & Dragons group as the name of a piece of equipment. If it was the direct, literal translation of an item in a Japanese NES game, the Japanese translator that has an English vocabulary of 500 words would still have sense enough to call it something else.

Can we finally dispense with the idea that Reigns is a great wrestler?

Replace it with Seinfeld reruns.

So Angle has to be on next week's RAW at this point, right?

It's her Subway diet.

Goldberg was right all along.

Bullshit. Roman is either the man or he isn't. He's been their guy for over three years now. If he doesn't have it by now, it's not going to happen. Literally he's had more time to be the man to lead the company than Sting, Rock, Goldberg, and Cena had when they were in the big leagues. They are literally wasting WrestleMania after WrestleMania waiting for him "to be ready." Right, we're at this point because it was much too fast too soon, which is what I said. Instead of letting the guy develop and maybe have this be the year where he main events WM for the first time, it's his second year in a row doing so and he's still fucked because they tried getting him to that John Cena level insanely fast when the guy has 1/10th of the charisma and ability as Cena. So yes, Roman carrying the company is not going to happen. I'm honestly not sure why you're saying what I said is bullshit. Uhhh. Roman is at the exact same level as Cena: getting booed out of every arena.

At what point does the idea of pushing a guy to the top that the fans hate and want no part of because, at some point in the future, he'll be the guy the fans love and want more of stop making any God damn sense? And how long ago did the WWE pass that point?

It's remarkable how effectively Roman Reigns/Vince/WWE vs Wrestlemania Crowd works in the basic heel vs face framework. I am just dying to spend money to see the crowd destroy them. I wish I could go and be part of it myself.

If we're going to complain about high spots that look like total fucking garbage in terms of impact, can we start with top rope splashes where twelve guys catch the guy that jumps and fall over like they have the vapors? Compared to that, the Styles Clash looks like a snuff film.

Are they thinking maybe it will be best if everyone watches it on the Network Monday night so they can hear the edited crowd noise? Silly. Haven't you been watching RAW? There isn't going to be any crowd noise.
