But you see The Authority was Triple H and Steph...and now it's Steph and Mick with Triple H being involved, but not an actual member. THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!!!!! Triple H literally won that belt for Owens.
Lol, you're the only person talking about Cesaro. Sad.

Pretty much mate.
See bottom post.
Still popular but one of the reasons why ratings just declined over time.
Go to any other city and see if they care.
Not everyone is in the know as we are.Everyone is on the internet
We'll have to wait and see.
But KO has never really failed to get a reaction from the audience.

Wrestling ratings declined over time because the industry, itself, became more and more niche after the collapse of WCW. The idea that HHH, and not the end of the #2 company, the departure of the biggest stars the industry had ever seen, and the increase in alternative entertainment options in the past decade, is responsible for the ratings decline is fucking ludicrous. If anything, HHH, big star that he is, probably prevented the decline from being even worse by being a connection to the attitude era.

Houston ain't the smarkiest city either. Their reaction to Cass and disrespect for Roman was just disappointing.
Hope now Seth gets a new move and stops copying the GOAT

Yeah but Styles isn't going to have a long reign with Cena coming back the beginning of next year and with Ambrose and Orton on the roster too. Whether people think Ambrose isn't good enough for a torch or not, Ambrose is the lead face on SD right now and he's kayfabe the best guy on the brand. I mean the guy went over Rollins and Reigns clean. If we go by reports, they said Cena's going to resume the Styles feud whenever he returns and apparently some time when Ambrose/Cena had their little clash, they said they were holding off the Ambrose/Cena feud until later.
Common sense just says that we're going to see an Ambrose/Cena feud sooner than later given the type of roster this is. I think everyone agrees that Cena's getting his 16th from Styles but at that point it's a matter of who he drops it to. Ambrose is probably going to be that guy because, like you said, the roster is small. I think the issue is that people love Styles so much they think he's going to have a long heel reign when really, when you look at it, that's not going to happen with guys like Ambrose, Orton and Cena on the roster.
I'm just not seeing Styles having a really long heel reign at all. Just can't see it with guys like Ambrose, Cena and Orton.
Face Rollins should just use the Phoenix Splash.

God, I am so fucking sick of Cesaro. The dude is pathologically incapable of building an emotionally satisfying wrestling storyline. It's not just his lack of mic skills, it's his body language and overall demeanor.

Triple H was the #1 guy during the period that ratings and house show attendance actually started to plunge from '02-'04. It was only the rise of Cena and Batista in the 2005-2007 time period that actually reignited house show attendance and kept ratings from falling even further.
Yeah because that match with HHH he had was great

I'm sure it will be a flip and he'll find some way to hospitalize someone with it.
Why are people saying Seth is now a face, did you watch this?

It's pretty clear Trips is acting on his own, there's nothing different about Steph or Seth

HHH Ambrose was pretty good.
I never want to see Reigns/HHH again though. That match was a stinker and a half.
I'll let you or the community decide.

Pinning that on him, and not on Foley retiring, Austin receding into a smaller and smaller role, and the Rock mostly leaving to do Hollywood shit seems ridiculous to me. The guys wrestling fans liked most had left, and the guys the new generation of fans were going to light on hadn't arrived yet. Of course shit was going to recede.
HHH is not as big of a draw as Austin/Rock or Cena/Batista, but I never claimed he was. The claim was that he was majorly responsible for wrestling's decline in popularity since the Attitude Era, which is just not true.
Phoenix Splash is too rough on the knees according to Rollins. I think he should just go with God's Last Gift since he apparently got the ok for it at Summerslam.
Or just give him the Curb Stomp back since it's an ultra safe move that couldn't possibly hurt anyone.
Fair point but I think you'll agree post mania he hasn't been fantastic.
Rollins will probably switch over to God's Last Gift or something but the issue with that is that he can't do it to mega-huge dudes. I guess he'll use that jumping knee to the side of the head as an alternate. The Phoenix Splash is great too.
But yeah he's gotta switch up the Pedigree. I mean, even coming back from injury that was a bad move for the knees. Not sure how the fuck HHH kept using it all these years.

HHH/Reigns was like a solid 2.5-3 star match, very classic territory wrestling, but it definitely should NOT have been headlining a Wrestlemania with how it was choreographed.
And I hope Reigns keeps popping Adderall.
Bahaha me too.

Did Reigns promos suck because he was high all the time?
Pure garbage, which sucks because I like the way he carries himself as a champ.

So the guy pushed as the #1 top guy of a show isn't responsible for the ratings dropping? Oh, I'll let Roman know that. Seems the Internet had a different thought on that a few months ago.
But more seriously, Paul isn't responsible totally, but hey, maybe not burying every possible top star from the day you got the title for the 1st time until you retired (including starting the whole "Cena can't wrestle" BS in the run up to WM) would've meant that there wouldn't have been such a horrible drop off until Cena and Batista saved his and Vince's ass.

He takes the title seriously as far as promos and deminor is concerned but he still works a very sloppy style.
Cena is a part timer for now and Orton wants to be one as well. I'm not saying Styles is the guy but he has a hell of a lot better chance at being the guy on Smackdown than Owens has on Raw. Hell, Styles would be Universal Champion right now if Reigns didn't get suspended and cause a huge pile of dominos to begin falling.
I had to hit print screen while a bunch of .gifs were playing on a webpage 5 mins ago to get stillshots of them and then crop them from a screenshot of my desktop in MS Paint because I don't know how to Computer properly. Sad.
Sounds like you're the one who lost

the only logical answer is the put the Universal strap on Cesaro.
Even more New Day and Bayley.
Also includes Xavier calling out that interviewer for that segment with the jobber earlier in the night, and a random Cool Runnings reference.
