RIPPA Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 Meltzer said on the radio show that the idea of Champion vs. Champion between the two brands has been on the table for awhile. It is just that they are pulling the trigger now when it's Brock/Jinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sweetser Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 9 hours ago, RolandTHTG said: I'd totally be up for a redux of Wolfpac vs Goldberg with the Shield as the Wolfpac and Lesnar as Goldberg. Makes the most sense - Lesnar has to go through all 3 members of the Shield to get his title back, one by one, the occasional multi-man tag that elevates guys along the way (uneasy alliance with Braun, Big E, etc) Gonna be awesome when Lesnar puts his hand through a car window. Then again, at this point, the window would be the one going to the hospital. Excuse me, medical facility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He moves merch but anyone with a sustained push moves merch. See Randy Orton. I agree that if you are going to push him as THE GUY then sure, go ahead and do it.. but we've seen enough at this point, I don't think he has it to be a John Cena level draw, never mind a Rock or an Austin. They need to be giving guys like AJ Styles more of an opportunity to run with the ball. At least he's an example of someone who is universally loved. This shit with Roman (who again, I think is REALLY good..) has been treading water for 4 years. WWE continues to have a blind spot with Roman. It's not about big moments (they've given him plenty). It's not about great performances (he's one of the better workers on the roster). It's about the audience investing in him. Instead of coming up with some 8-month long master plan to have Roman go over Brock at Mania they need to dumb it down to the basics. Why is someone supposed to like Roman Reigns on a personal level?

Not entirely. New Japan's tag team scene is thinner than Baron Corbin's hairline right now, and they definitely don't seem to mind not having any natives there. They can only do so many War Machine vs Guerrillas of Destiny vs Killer Elite Squad matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofuture Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Don't think New Japan really cares about their tag division, they just recycle the same teams over and over and plug in a new one everyone once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammo~! Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Hmmm that main event might make me end up going tonight. Tons of tickets still available but like...I can't even make it through three hours of Raw at home on my comfy couch...so there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I fully expect Roman to Superman punch Braun through the cage tonight and/or get beat down by the Shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph2112 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I think I see WWE's long game here. If they burn through every possible match combo by WM, the only thing left will be Lesnar/Reigns. It's genius long term booking, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our superstars need to be bigger than life pal! God damn!" Seriously, unless Big E finds a way to magically add about 4 more inches of height, he's never getting a main event run. Even though I whole heartedly agree he deserves one, and could excel if given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 He's like an inch or two shorter than Cena. It's because he's built like a brick shithouse he looks shorter than he is. His skin colour is likely more of an issue with Vince than anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Big E was a friend of Cena - so that helped him for a little bit (about as far as Cesaro got out of it too) If you remember - they kept teasing Big E and Roman back when Cena was challenging the Shield And then they never pulled the trigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
