Zheroen Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Does that mean I have to hear that TATU song again? Teen lesbianism is so 2003. Wait, so is the top of the card. You mean GET THE PRIVILEGE of listening to TATU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooseCannon Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Sheamus should come back as a heel. He went out with his injury at the same time as Cena and while Cena got to give a goodbye on Raw, Sheamus just disappeared. If you called 1-800-FELLA you'd get no information at all. Mainly because that's not enough digits to be a real phone number. Sheamus should come back to a face pop and milk it, then turn heel as part of a storyline to set up his Wrestlemania. I favor the idea of Daniel Bryan winning the Rumble and HHH tapping Sheamus to his new face of the company after turning on Orton because he has lost faith in Orton's ability and maneuvering the belt onto Sheamus as his better shot at stopping Bryan. But you should basically determine if you need him to be a face or a heel at Wrestlemania and manage his status based on where you need him to be.

Fallacy! Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Sheamus should come back as a heel.

Mainly because that's not enough digits to be a real phone number. Then again when Kofi Kingston went out, Ryback put him through a bunch of tables with the fans chanting "one more time" after each one and he came back cheesing and hand clapping as usual. I'm sure he will. He's DOA as a babyface. People just don't like him. I think it's the Daniel Bryan squash (not his fault, but he was the guy they booked in that position) combined with how bland and cheesy his gimmick really is. He will never be a successful babyface in WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kafkonia Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 There's a pimple on the Face of the WWE. Oh, and my girlfriend has pointed out that from certain angles Brock's tattoo makes it look like he's wearing a necktie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will never be a successful babyface in WWE. Sheamus just isn't as flexible as the other top guys. Okay, all of but Cena and DB aren't flexible, but still. But there is still tremendous value in a big, charismatic guy that can go. They just think Sheamus can and should be allowed to cut promos or do anything other than beating the fuck out of people.

mco543 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I asked on Twitter so I'll ask here: Who's the longest tenured WWE wrestler (not a jobber like Brawler) from the hulkamania era onward not to get an action figure (non-legends/classics)? Is it Barbarian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.J. Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I'd dig a Sheamus heel turn if it was just him thinking he was still a face, feuding with Daniel Bryan, and kept bringing up how he beat him in 18 seconds and expecting a pop from the crowd.

Cobra Commander Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 *checks the 1996 WWF roster list on Solie.org* Brawler and Barry Horowitz were in the top 10 for tenure. Bob Backlund got an action figure as the manager of the Sultan while he was with the WWE. Aldo Montoya got an action figure.

Fake Razor trying to talk to Shawn Michaels about "their" feud.

Mind you, there was absolutely no way the guy in a potential summer blockbuster which comes out pretty much at Mania wasn't going to win the damn thing. But still. The fuck!?

Valcourt Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Where is Raw from tonight? Same building?If not, probably the same amount of fans. The only reason why I think the crowd might be "bizaro" world fans is because the Facebook poll is so drastic against the show... Are the crowds merging to be smarter, or is DB just that over? Oh, and Orton and batista are that big of let downs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Raw is in the Cleve. As Josh said in the other thread, their whole purpose in life is to bitch about things they can't control. This has the potential to be one of the top 5 hostile crowds in Raw history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 God, I wish they were in Philly tonight. Chicago would be just as good. Cleveland is a nice third place option for hostile crowds, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
