The Broken gimmick was the biggest money thing they've had in ages. I am willing to bet that Jerry McDevitt could talk them into taking 3 magic beans in exchange for the rights. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as those beans are worth $111,000 each, they'll take it. See the Impact Omnibus thread for details. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Someone is going to come in here and say "Monsters are built up to be fed to the top face" but here's the issue with Braun. I believe he has more potential than to just be fed to others and especially when that top guy is Roman Reigns who is at best lukewarm. See, RAW was a good show last night and a lot of that is because Roman Reigns wasn't on it. I like Roman but having the entire show revolve around him is a disaster and it makes everything else suffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overly Critical Man Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I think quality improvement is more the fact we don't have to suffer through Steph and HHH cucking everyone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 That's part of it too. Anytime Stephanie is on screen is a chore to get through. Same can be said for Hunter most nights even if the promos are "good" they are painfully boring at this point. But Roman Reigns stale ass character weighs down everyone. Seth Rollins is not much more tolerable than him either but at least his appearance was brief. Charlotte was quickly approaching Roman, Stephanie and Hunter territory. I'm glad she's out of that division, I just hope SDL will make her more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salads Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Having Strowman walk away from a Big Show superplex ring collapse is exactly the kind of Brock Lesnar one-upmanship needed to keep the flame of hope burning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I think Strowman is more than just a big man. He's a legit monster. He's a Brock Lesnar-class monster. The worst it ever got for Brock back in his first run was making him into Smilin' Brock Lesnar when all faces had to smile a ton. If that's the worst it gets for Strowman, then I'll take it. I don't want to say it, but I think Strowman survived Rybackitis. He's been booked incredibly strong week after week. Of course, now he actually needs to defeat Roman and I would even say he needs to defeat Lesnar. The only other outcome I'll accept is Roman causing Strowman vs Lesnar to be a no contest to setup Reigns vs Strowman vs Lesnar at Summerslam, but Strowman needs a title run this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw him with Ellsworth with the concept that Braun uses him as a projectile against their opponents. Throwing him the strap now could end up turning the crowd against him. A case of "too much too soon". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 That's precisely what went wrong with Roman. Fans were hungry for an early and dominant Reigns with an early title run and everything. Then they held off, holding off left more time for an injury, it gave Vince more time to fuck with the Roman Reigns character, and then it lead to pushing Reigns over options the fans desired even more creating an even bigger backlash. WWE consistently fails to strike while the iron is hot. This is that rare window of opportunity to roll the dice and get behind a super hot act instead of doing the thing they usually do, which is cooling down that act to see if they can survive that cooling down period, and then they either continue their descent or they win the title at the most random time (think Chris Jericho). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attila The Hut Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Is it just me, or have WWE actually gotten the bug guy push to be accepted with Braun Strowman? I've been hearing though that WWE thinks Baron Corbin has a much better upside, or so WOR says. Braun though should be a main eventer. As someone said, the real main event for next year's WrestleMania should be Roman vs. Braun. The crowd alone for that match would make it worthwhile.

Her constant yelling in her promos which went on way too long most weeks was terrible and she was involved in every title feud for like two years. Hopefully SDL will be more creative. She is the female Roman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Charlotte is attempting to cosplay her old man in the 80s but it's been booked more like 2003 Triple H. Which nobody here liked. She's not Ric Flair. Ric gave his opponents a ton and took losses to freshen things up for a month or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Yes, the belt existed for a year and Charlotte's held it 4 times. That's exactly like 2003 Triple H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made such a good point Warrior can't stop nodding in agreement! But I definitely agree Braun/Roman is the way to go. Whether they do it or not, we'll see.

Niners Fan in CT Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I'll save you the trouble. Sasha held the title a combined 75 days. So a little over two months in her 3 reigns and she never won a PPV match. Charlotte held the title for 275 days and won every big match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Trump Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I can't wait for the day when they inevitably end up teaming to create the ultimate WWE unlikely tag-team couple name of Strowman Reigns.

Times held the World Title 2 - combined days held 281. Only Goldberg's 84 days broke it up. Charlotte Televised Losses in 2016-2017 - 22. But yeah, she wins too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
