John from Cincinnati Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Just now, Brian Fowler said: But it won't accomplish the goal of a heel turn. If Meltz is to be believed on Roman’s merch sales, over is over and everyone needs to take a deep breath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess. I mean, I'm not even suggesting Roman turns, just that turning Braun seems to carry a much higher risk than reward. Best case scenario he stays as over as he is now. Worst case they kill off an extremely over act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could always direct our complaints towards Road Dogg on Twitter, where he’ll tell us that Braun climbed the same mountain, or whatever stupid rhetoric he’ll spew out. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 The worst part is that Liv Morgan is almost guaranteed to take the pinfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 2 hours ago, West Newbury Bad Boy said: You make some reasonable points. She’s a whole six months older than the WWE Champion. You know I don't really think she is old? It was a gag on the line that made Trish slap Elias. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIShane Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 This episode was largely kinda there, but I have heard that the Ruby/Ember match they taped for Main Event is well-worth checking out when its available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They changed it last week to Cena and Lashley vs Elias and KO.

JonnyLaw Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 5 hours ago, Niners Fan in CT said: Also, WrestleMania main event should definitely be about huge marquee matches. Sure, sometimes that can mean bring in The Rock but I too would like to see a new Hogan vs. Macho or Bret vs. Austin or Rock vs. Austin where it's the top current guys... We haven't had much of that. They've used Brock, Triple H, Undertaker, Goldberg.. The Rock.. When is it going to be okay to book current guy vs. current guy? The problem [cranky old man] is they give away too many matchups on free tv![/cranky old man]. The brand split helps (as did Brock’s seldom appearances honestly), but there aren’t many current guy dream matches because we’ve seen most of them already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 If they’re sticking with the dual brand PPVs, tags and six man tags would be a smart way to get more people on the show and increase the importance of individual title matches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 6 hours ago, odessasteps said: If hes a heel now, hook him up with Alexa again. This would be the only reason I'd ever turn Braun heel. Even if you take the romantic part out of it having him do her bidding would be some amazing TV. And count me in on the "he heeled with the wrong guys" camp. It's almost like they hate giving the fans what they want (Wyatts reunion) and instead pulling random shit like this out of their ass. But hey, at least I had the latest Being the Elite as my palate cleaner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Y'all made me google Trish Stratus to find out how old she is. I'm trying to not think about what truly useful bit of information I've had to forget so I can remember Trish is 42. Heels making fun of Trish's age would sit better with me if I didn't remember Meltzer's comment (5-10 years back) that Vince thought 35-year-old women were too old to be on TV.

The brand split helps (as did Brock’s seldom appearances honestly), but there aren’t many current guy dream matches because we’ve seen most of them already. I don't disagree with your basic point about giving away matches, but I feel as though the brand split actually hurts that because there are smaller pools of guys to work with while keeping two top guys apart. That's my logic but I could be wrong 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see them switching to AJ v Miz for a simple defence & maybe a Bryan v Joe #1 contender match for the work rate. Bryan vs Miz #1 contenders match was also added for Super Showdown, so Styles/Joe 3 does seem likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
