And it's gonna be Reigning Salt all up in here when he does win

could never
I'm legit excited for Reigns vs Bryan but I don't think there's a conceivable way for Reigns to not-lose without getting booed the fuck out of. If he wins clean he'll get massive boos. If he wins because someone interferes he'll get massive boos. If it's a draw he'll get boos, but less than he would in the other scenarios.

Merch that has a message.
Thete no reason to do this feud if Roman was going to win anyways. He should be as far from beayan as possible.
Reigns was acting like a bigger heel though. Bryan might have been a jerk but Roman straight up cost Bryan a win

I actually like the Roman Reigns font.
Vince logic = They tried to keep Roman away from Bryan during the Rumble and people booed Roman. Maybe if Roman straight up beats Bryan they'll accept him, damnit.
If wwe was smart he wouldn't have won the rumble.
Nothing impresses the ladies like a wrestling wallet.
I just noteced something.
Look at the fucker taking a selfie with a tablet on the top right.
it's what's in it that matters to the lady
If Joe wants back in ROH all he has to do is go back to PWG for a few months, get popular thanks to PWG and then ROH will suddenly bring him in and act like he got popular again because of them.
That's a shoot, brother.
Rock hasn't gotten that much heat since he sang that Sacremento song on Raw and mentioned the Lakers
Man, looking back Hollywood Rock might be my favorite version of him.
"It's the one that says "One Versus All" on it."

A lot of rental stores over the years have gone under thanks to Netflix. And a lot of Redboxes don't carry too many PS4 games yet from what I've seen. I'm lucky to still have a rental place in my town cuz hoo boy I would have been pissed if I paid sixty bucks for the Devil May Cry reboot.
When they let him be himself he fucking took off like a rocket.
That for me is the biggest lesson WWE can learn now. Trust in their wrestlers to be themselves. It's so much better than scripted promos, and if they forget a line it just looks worse. Give them all a shot and just being themselves, and if they fuck it up, at least they tried.
Rock in my opinion was always on the fringe between being a really good wrestler and being a great wrestler. From my memory he never really had any bad matches (Twice in a Lifetime being an exception) and when he was with another good wrestler he became great.
Is it fair to call Rock the most charismatic wrestler ever?
Dude was so successful he didn't have to crawl back to wrestling like Hogan.
Hogan pretty much had to make that nWo heel turn because Thunder in Paradise didn't get any ratings and Turner was not going to give him a new deal unless he did something that proved he was worth it.

He was certainly mine. I'll go as far to say he was and still is my fave Heel of all time.
Ka-Kow!
I guess, but don't forget Bryan had no reason to distract Roman with Yes chants really lol. Yet Reigns was speared outside.
Both are being cocks though, which is rather funny to watch.

Does this merit an OT?
Without question. The only person who I think is even remotely in Rock's league for natural charisma is Macho Man.
Hollywood Rock could get nuclear heat with seemingly the snap of his fingers. Even Corporate Rock couldn't do that.
And yet his Sharpshooter always looked like shit
He was good. And he cared for small details that made him spectacular to watch... for exemple the way he would kick his leg during the Rock Bottom

I loved this Hollywood Rocky interview, the noises he makes about Goldberg kill me.

I think turning him heel after fans thought he was being shoved down their throats helped him a ton.
And just when he was starting to become slightly babyface with the nation of domination they turned him heel with the corporate champion.
Big risk that panned out big time. I think Austin saw looked at that and that's why they did his heel turn at X-Seven (which was stupid).
Hogan did shitty movies and knew he had a better chance at making money wrestler. Not really a fair comparison of charisma because Rock just had a lot more going for him in terms of looks. Hulk Hogan ALWAYS looks like Hulk Hogan. The era he became big in was ridiculous cartooniness aimed at younger kids. He didn't have a lot of options from the start for an acting career. Rock had a lot he could go do due to his era being one with a little more range.
And keep in mind, being successful in Hollywood has fuck all to do with charisma and more to do with who you know.

Nice promo by H https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emhDsm1Xy-o
Austin's WM17 heel turn feels like it should be on the Mt Rushmore of bad WrestleMania decisions.
- Austin's heel turn at WM17
- Hogan at WM9
- Brock beating Undertaker
Still Rock made it with his success as an actor. He fucking played a gay man in 2005. Vince let his WWE contract expire because he didn't want any wrestler of his doing anything like that.
Rock definitely had some connections but that can only get you so far.
I agree with the first 2 but I actually like Brock winning.
What they fucked up on was not resigning him and not using him more.
He has wanted to work more dates he just doesn't want to work their stupid house show schedule.
3rd one is a tough call.
I'd be more okay with Brock winning if the build up for it wasn't so ungodly one sided. They did nothing to build Brock up as a threat for that match. So it came off as one of those Vince "NOBODY WILL EXPECT THIS LOL" moments
Because people will watch it regardless.
Problem is they are both half heels. They divided the audience (kinda since Reigns is almost full booed every time he attacks Bryan) so even if you turn one of them you'll get mixed reactions.
It's a really weird build overall.
Right now its because they have to produce too much content.
NXT is able to do a slow burn because they have a large enough roster and they don't over expose guys. Plus they only have a PPV type event every 2 months.
The brand split was a perfect idea that they fucked up because Vince was jealous at Heyman's success with smackdown. Each program was on TV once a week and had a PPV every 2 months with potential mega PPVs like Mania and Summerslam.
Right now their roster is too small since they make at least 7 hours of content a week.
There was a main event where Kane beat Erik Rowan only for him to come out in a 3 on 3 tag match and have a big spot. They made him look weak then when he came out again nobody cared. It's 50/50 booking in short term bursts.
