I like your positive outlook but, reality is something different. It is WWE in 2015 the same WWE that is constantly trying to find ways to book around their most popular wrestler because he does not fit what they believe their most popular guy should be. The same WWE that buried every single one of their faces at royal rumble just to make one wrestler look good and forgot to actually make him look strong in the rumble itself. Bryan vs Ziggler is basically an exhibition match. It is basically we have nothing for you to do but, if we do not put you on the card the fans will riot so lets put them together that way we kill two birds with one stone. They are burying Bryan on the card treating him like the B+ player they think he is. At this point they probably consider him a C+ maybe even B-.

Preach.
He's such a fucking useless cornball.

I love it. He goes from laughing, to trying to contribute with some awkward gesture, then to staring off into the distance as he realizes how lame that was.

It's entirely possible that DBvsDZ is so below Vince's notice that they'll have the freedom to make it interesting on their own.
Right? >_>

Ehh, tool is a better word.
he's gonna cock this here fist, and he's gonna make it reign in this BITCH
He seems like that little kid that keeps himself amused while the grownup is talking.

I think they can save Regins if they just have him embrace his inherent nerdiness. Promos likening his match against Lesnar to video game battles with his guild and outrageous sound fx as he hits his moves.

It's funny because you basically described this. Except well, Rock made the whole promo with two and a half words and a bunch of gestures, while Farooq was muttering something.

Brock can always come back to WWE in 2-5 years.
I think this is his last legitimate shot at MMA.
Dude is totally leaving.

holy shit that Observer piece on Reigns and Bryan
Small, weak, ugly, not a draw, only catchphrase over. Literally every bad thing you expect they think about Bryan, they do think. This company's fucked.

Outside of challenging for the title, what else would you have Bryan do at Mania?

"Tool" feels more appropriate for someone who's aggressively douchbaggy, but Reigns comes off as such a try hard that "cornball" feels right. Like that kid in high school trying to impress people but everyone laughs at him behind his back because he's such a noid.
I'd have to seriously question the taste of a wrestling fan that doesn't like Brock Lesner.

Some believe he doesn't even really want to fight, and he is just using it as leverage. And at 38, I'd believe it. Why get paid to be in training camps and doing media rounds for months out of the year when you can do a whole lot less and get paid comparably? Not the same, but comparably.

Douchebag was another word I was looking for.

Future WWE World Heavyweight Champion, WrestleMania main-eventer and face of the WWE is another descriptor we could go with.

I'm sure this has already been discussed, but the fact that Reigns has been acting backstage for months like he has the top spot locked up makes me dislike him. He's overconfident in a bad way.

Brock Lesnar the person; meathead homophobe.
Fuck that guy too.

I mean, Ryback said to the Philly fans he loved they booed Reigns. Pretty positive that a lot of the talent feel the same way.
They need to do what Batista did backstage to people he didn't like.

So rewatching the Rumble, were Harper and Rowan meant to team up against Bray? Harper did the finger-gun point at Bray, at which point he attacked Rowan instead.

If anything, Brock's current aura is totally "I'm surrounded by peons, long gone are the glory days I used to snack with Kurt Angle, cross path with Undertaker, walk around the locker room while guys the caliber of Guerrero and Benoit were stuck in the midcard". You can totally see he belongs to a different class, and I'm not sure it's a positive thing because you have absolutely nobody that looks believable enough to pin him without people breaking their suspension of disbelief and going "that's a forced push, blah". They successfully brought him back to pre-HHH/Cena losses, but it may not be a good thing if he leaves.

I wouldn't say Brock is a homophobe. I don't think Brock is capable of having a phobia/fear of anything. He's just straight up anti-homosexual.
There's no Undertaker/Yoko/Andre equivalent backstage. I heard a funny joke that Orton thinks he is, but I highly doubt anyone listens to that handpicked dude

Nonono. Batista did a lot of shit to people he didn't like.
More of the talent need to do that to Reigns.

Wait? So now he's an asshole backstage?

Ego, maybe? I don't know how much of that he has left. At 38, he's proven himself pretty much everywhere.
But I think Viacom's just too tempting of a deal to pass up. He'd walk in and immediately own Bellator, fighting guys like Lavar "Big" Johnson, Cheick Kongo, Colossus Thompson, Kimbo Slice...guys with whom Brock would draw big, but have no chance of beating him, en route to dream fights against Beautiful Bobby Lashley and maybe Fedor if Coker coax him out of retirement.

Anyone who doesn't like or enjoy Lesnar and Rollins at this point would have to be making a damn good effort to do so.

So does WWE have some kind of deal with DC that lets them call it the Superman punch or something?

It's not a WWE term. They've been saying it during MMA fights for years.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Wrestling isn't real. The fact that Stephanie McMahon says "B+ player" on the show doesn't mean they actually think that. They don't book Bryan to win everything for the same reason they don't book anyone to win everything.
