December Wrasslin' |OT| PUT A Z-PAK ON THE THREAD, PAL. YOU'RE WORKING TONIGHT
that's if you believe the votes actually matter
Speak for yourself.
Yeah I voted for Rusev. I would say WWE.com results reflect a lot more for what I voted than the live vote overall.
- He works hard
- Doesn't cheat to win
- Wrestles for his people and his country
- fights through injury wrestle
How is he a heel again?
Because Russia.
On a serious note I hope Rusev stays undefeated until he becomes WWE champion.
Also, I think he should do a program with The Rock at Mania. That be huuuge for him. Even if it ends in bullshit DQ.
The WWE.com votes were probably real, since they didn't matter. They were just announced in a list on the pre-show.
Then he can lose via taser at TLC 2015.

Yeah, she's super green. Sucked seeing Mia Yim job to her, Mia's ridiculously good compared to the vast majority of the divas.
Fighting Big Sexy Roman Reigns while his sidekick, Medium Sexay Seth-kun Rollins does the Dirty Deed with the cattle prod.
If she had a good match with Mia, everyone on here would credit Charlotte for the match quality. If Charlotte had a good match with 90s Misawa, it would be because of Charlotte apparently.

Puro snobs!
Rusev also constantly overcomes the odds. He's like an underdog heel for some reason. Getting booked in battle royales to defend his title, beating people like Big Show and Mark Henry clean, etc...
It's really quite ridiculous the way they book him. And it'll be sad when Cena beats him at Mania.
Also funny listening to Meltzer and Alvarez talk about the Slammys last night. They don't question fan voting on anything except for Roman Reigns winning.

Well what is there to question for the rest? Tons of casuals vote. They snub HEELs and shit they can't remember.
I wish I could see the percentages for superstar of the year. Hell Dean Ambrose beat Rollins in breakout star of the year on wwe.com. Makes me think more Hardcore fans voted online

Hey now, I think she's not bad given her experience level and she's obviously fairly athletic, has a unique look and build, etc - BUT, she's still pretty green and certainly too green for the gimmick she's working. I was hoping they'd more gradually introduce the Flair stuff.

All doubt removed!
I agree with them. Nothing else was super duper red light fishy.
It's going to break peoples hearts in this OT, but there are people who like Roman Reigns. And he certainly makes a stronger case than Daniel Bryan by being in more recent memory than Mr Brie Bella.

Dat female fan vote.
I guess people didn't feel he got a good enough pop last night but also certainly didn't get booos. This will not be D. Bry case all over again, although I would love Reigns to swerve and come back as a HEEL.
i had to unsubscribe from these emails
it's fun to laugh at the begging, but I felt like this shit was coming way too frequently
Aero Star is pretty cool;
Hope Guerra de Titanes shows up online somewhere, I wanna watch that mask vs mask match.
Yep, should show up soon. Heard nothing but great things about the mask match. Heard it was MOTYC type stuff and might even be better than Cavenario/Cometa

Exactly. What did Hassan do? Not want to be persecuted.
What did Rusev do? Work hard and be a hero to Russia.
Lana's the real problem! That booty is the true heel
Yes, they definitely didn't rig that Jericho one.
Also, on a completely unrelated topic, Jericho is back next week to host. Boy that would have been awkward as a segueway if he hadn't won.
I liked the subtle change in hair style. It's the little things.
He pretty much needs to be a heel to ever really get over as a champ. Big Sexay proved just how awful someone that big and limited is when wrestling as a face. You just can't bo-lieve a guy like that is in peril 90% of the time.
I always assumed Rusev didn't speak/understand English thus the need for Lana, and so if they ever wanted to turn him heel, he could have said he had no idea what his manager was saying. That he was just competing for the sake of competing.
But I think WWE made it clear he does understand English.
But he's not even that big.

I'll have to watch. Cavernario/Cometa is one of the best matches of the year.
I honestly think our MOTY voting is going to be rough because people aren't going to actually watch them all, but I'm really hoping people do before voting. MOTY is so important to me!

He's a hired gun but besides a bit during his introduction rarely cheats, doesn't beat people until he gets dq'd/punch refs. Hell besides that bit with a soldier awhile back he's been pretty much a face in the ring.
Quit ruining my narrative!

Goddamn, wreddit is dumb. Very few good wrestling forums out there, thankfully WrassleGAF is one of the few.

We can get back to the lower rungs if you like with one simple sentence.
"So, how do you guys think CM Punk is going to do in the Ultimate?"
Does this make you hard?
Idk. Anyone someone sells something, this thread lights up with people thinking they're really injured. And any line that has any oopmh, people think someone is shooting. The smartest fans are the absolute easiest to work.

All worth it in Vince's eyes if the big movers & shakers in entertainment one day see him as more than a carny-ass wrestling promoter.
God, please no. Not again. Also, Punk will do as well as Dana wants him to.
Because it's a work
It's the opposite for the NJPW crowd. "Wow, Ishii's great at selling!" (Ishii's actually separated his shoulder and has a concussion).
HOLY SHIT. STRO IS SHOOTING HERE FRIENDS. BRINGING THAT ETHER THAT BURNS THE SOUL DEEP.
lmao
This is Ashley Fliehr to "Ape" Brooks? Damn, brehs.

I think very highly of a one Mr. Reigns. Dude's badass and has IT. I just think he isn't very charismatic and it doesn't help being constantly told how badass he is from the un-coolest person in existence in Michael Cole.
And you're kidding yourself if you don't think the votes are a little swayed.
Nah, shit was different then. You could get a Hasbro Razor Ramon for $5. Now, the "basic" line of WWE toys are like $12. Shit is bonkers. I blame Obama.

Declare your positions on Roman Reigns.
I'm on the Roman War Wagon, supporting the Holy Roman Empire. He does have IT. I have faith he'll connect with fans (that he's already doing) and give us enjoyable matches, 5 star feuds.
