And the sweet, sweet traditional piledriver.
That is the fucking promised land. It'll never happen - but if they bust it out once every 5 years or so, it'll be great. I still get shivers when watching Punk / Cena.

Regulate suicide dives please
Bo Dallas is going to be so over!
JR probably complained that it exposed the business, just like the 10 punch.
GAWD DAMMIT. CLOSED FISTS ARE EXPOSIN' THE BUSINESS.
Preach!

I dunno. The girl who I'm going to NXT Dallas with doesn't love Sami and she's a filthy casual. I have my doubts he'll catch on as a high-level guy. I hope I'm wrong, as I quite like the dude and he can wrassle, brother.
I can get behind this.

They're working on it. Triple H doing a complete babyface segment with Reigns was not an accident.

If Sasha Banks ever gets a bunch of tattoos, that'd be cool. She'd look great with sleeves.
I don't care about all the other stuff, but THIS
Well, and bring back the atomic drop yeah

He did what he did to the reaction he did. What's PG have to do with it?
You don't care about the piledriver?!
Kaiterra... Oh, Kaiterra.
The Eva Marie of WWE?
Turn Reigns heel and pair him with Eva Marie. The heat would melt arenas.

I think they meant Bayley.
I give Reigns a lot more credit than her, but the one thing she does have is great legitimate heat.
Oh man. THE BIG DAWG ROMAN REIGNS, kayfabe kicks his wife to the curb and starts parading around with Eva. HERE COMES THE MONEY.
I like it but I'm not sad I'm not seeing it all the time.

You ain't the #LegitBoss of someone else's body, Seph
Yeah, he's totally better than her in the ring. I'm just talking heat levels.

Watch out, the Eva Marie Hate Force is about to call you a gimmick poster because they don't have the presence of mind to accept a different viewpoint!
I'm on your side, friend. Eva Marie is a heat magnet.

No worries. WWE course corrects to give fans what they want. We have proof.
This has been my dream idea for months. Shit would be fucking incredible.
Roman shows up with the belt the night after Mania looking like this:
"Die Roman Die"
I don't think people dispute how much heat Eva has or how legit it is. It's just that it's not a result of some great reserve of talent she has. Really, the opposite.
She gets to exist in NXT at the moment where they still know how to work the audience. You know, how to book wrestling 101 type stuff. But that's just all wrasslin' horse shit that Vince has no time for.
So what happens if Roman turns heel and people start cheering him because he then becomes an interesting character?
yooo
yooo
Then maybe at some point you have him do the same stuff that heel character is doing, but to bad guys.
Nah, that would take a while to happen. The heat is too strong and too real.
Then you succeeded in turning a guy's character and career around and everyone is happy.
See: Rocky Maivia.
Other than John Cena and Kevin Owens, there's no one who would appropriately handle such a crowd: "oh you like the bad guy now, that's so edgy; you predictable fucks, you don't get to cheer me now, you people are still shit, you all should die."
You know, put into appropriate phrasing for television.
EDIT: Come to think of it, Owens had this run in ROH already.

People will say, "So awesome that they finally turned Roman heel. But, WWE will mess up and put him with the Social Outcasts or the Wyatts. Vince is so old, he has no idea what he doing"

Delayed suplex is the best.
Rocky built up such a ridiculous level of charisma and was hilarious to the point that people couldn't hate him anymore.
I'll just say Reigns is very different than that situation.
