Hagan Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I think there's a lot of intrigue in having a member of The Shield win MITB (probably Ambrose, but with the way they're pushing RolIlins who knows?) and then have Roman win the title at, say. Survivor Series. Have them continue to be together for a few months and then do the turn/title switch to lead into a WM program. That's putting a lot of pressure on them, but they've all basically been main event players for a year and a half so I think it'd get over.

Victator Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 He won the game show, their hands were tied. Though you see how WWE really had more of a commitment to this stuff back then. With NXT, Barrett is the only winner still on the roster. They could not even keep Kaval on the roster a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kaval hadn't been Low Ki he still would be on the roster, but Low Ki is going to Low Ki. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great underdog babyface, he and HHH worked well together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuji also issued an open challenge to a fresh Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania with his champion exhausted. Macho Man picking a fight with an enraged Hogan while reigning champion was a really bad decision. Though I guess he had to beat Hogan to live with himself. But Sting knew what Flair was going to do. He was trying to do what he thought was right and even warned Flair. This was not Tommy Dreamer trusting the Bruise Brothers. Actually thinking about it, Flair was pretty stupid to pick that fight with Sting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great ML Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 From a kayfabe standpoint, Fuji really was a terrible manager...devious, but terrible. I vividly remember a promo Fuji did with Demolition where he talked about their 'training regimen.' He would take Ax and Smash, tie them to rocking chairs in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, tie wild hogs to the rocking chairs, and if they drown, they fail the test. On second thought, that makes him infinitely better than Johnny V, now that's a manager that sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Paul Jones waa so bad as a manager in 1986 (in his fatigues phase) he broke Fuji's streak of worst manager in the wol awards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Fuji was actually a really good manager and the WON was just reactive or deadset in its "Oh god, wrestling can't be embarrassing. It has to be serious." views. I think he was pretty effective in laying in interference and really, for a lot of matches his teams were involved was critical for either the finishes or the heels taking over and he was good at hitting his marks. His promos were fairly effective too. Were they stereotypical? Sure but they were also pretty memorable and deeply insulting to the babyface. Add in the fact that he could get in the ring occasionally and be effective at playing the role he had to there, and he's hugely underrated. I also think he's underrated as a wrestler, but that's beside the point. When there were guys like Frenchy Martin or Johnny V running around, Fuji was great.

Trying to think of a worse decision in wrestling history, but that is really bad. Bobby the Brain made the most brilliant kayfabe business move ever. He publicly sold Andre's contract to DiBiase for $10million and then bought it back for $1million. I think all of this took place on episodes of Prime Time.
