Not surprised they used Ali's death to make Roman stronk.

 

[Angry Grimace]

This is fucking up. They're making a mistake showing stuff from the documentary piece while pushing him as a heel this makes no sense.

 

[somedevil]

They are including Seth Rollins drugged up promo after the surgery. This has been very good so far.

 

[shwimpy]

Rollins is the heel in this feud huh...

 

[Skatterd]

This is making me want Roman to win...how?

 

[TimeEffect]

What happened with ali/roman

and are they trying to do a double turn? People sill love seth more for this

 

[TheSchwab_7]

Why are they making heel Seth look like a babyface

 

[ramoisdead]

So...Rollins is the heel in this, according to this video package?

 

[Sephzilla]

So Seth is the face of this feud, right?

 

[Morfeo]

Ok, we are getting a double turn on MitB. This is the building of babyface Seth.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Are we SURE Rollins is the Heel?

 

[Bluekaveli]

This is fucking up. They're making a mistake showing stuff from the documentary piece while pushing him as a heel this makes no sense.

Try telling them that

 

[illmatic22]

WWE loves to contradict itself. No surprise here.

 

[Violence Jack]

So Seth is now a face?

 

[spindashing]

Interesting promo. I like where this is going.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Ooooh this guy makes me so mad

Working hard to recover after a devastating injury to reclaim his dream

What a dick, hope Roman beats his ass

EDIT: Oh ok his injury was a face turn, his return was a heel turn got it

 

[Angry Grimace]

Ok, we are getting a double turn on MitB. This is the building of babyface Seth.

Oh my sweet Summer child

 

[Barrage]

Rollins is pretty much an anti-hero here. The crowd shots are the only thing showing Roman as face and Rollins as a heel.

Still though, ill take a video package over some social Outcast bullshit anyday.

 

[Angry Grimace]

The hilarious part is Seth's chance of getting the title is like 0%

Also, Lana's little speech isn't doing anything because she doesn't seem to hate America anymore.

 

[GunBR]

Guys, the promo and the people chanting for Seth and booing Roman doesn't matter

Roman is the face of company and this won't change

 

[Colocho]

"A match worthy of the main event of Wrestlemania (Which we were totally gonna have at Survivor Series last year)"

 

[illmatic22]

Swagger.

Again.

 

[Toki767]

Jack Swagger? Long time rival? Huh?

 

[korly]

What are they doing here? I thought they were trying to make Seth the villain?

 

[UberTag]

Guys, the promo and the people chanting for Seth and booing Roman doesn't matter

Roman is the face of company and this won't change

This guy gets it. Although, it's actually Roman Reigns and Stephanie McMahon that are the FACES of the company. It's a two-for-one deal.

 

[Kuroyume]

This is going to be a repeat of Smackdown right? With Titus coming out?

 

[Professor Beef]

So they managed to find Swagger after he left a couple weeks ago, I take it?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I'm really surprised Jack Swagger hasn't been released yet

 

[Oersted]

Guys, the promo and the people chanting for Seth and booing Roman doesn't matter

Roman is the face of company and this won't change

Booing means investment. Investment means money. Remember the 'I paid money to see Reigns lose.' sign?

 

[GunBR]

Swagger.

Again.

Well, right now Smackdown is basically out of canon.
They're repeating The Club vs New Day too

 

[Pikma]

This is going to be a repeat of Smackdown right? With Titus coming out?

Nobody will notice, Smackdown is basically a televised house show

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

What happened with ali/roman

and are they trying to do a double turn? People sill love seth more for this

They just made a Statment like:

"Ali was involved with many big matches, AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAS A BIG MATCH FEEL TO IT? ROMANNNN REEEEIGNS vs Seth."

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

"A match worthy of the main event of Wrestlemania (Which we were totally gonna have at Survivor Series last year)"

The Survivor Series match was probably gonna end with a BS "controversial" finish to keep the belt on Rollins while making Roman look even stronger so they could set up the rematch where Roman wins his title and buries Rollins in the mid card where the WWE thinks he belongs.

 

[Hidden One]

Didn't Titus already get bodied by Rusev during his first US title run?

 

[Ultratech]

Oh hey, Jack Swagger still has a job.

Time for him to disappoint America again.

 

[UberTag]

This is going to be a repeat of Smackdown right? With Titus coming out?

This is what happens in lieu of storytelling these days.
Just run the same angle on 4-5 straight shows and then call THAT a feud.

 

[Kyari]

does Jack Swagger being an American Hero really automatically get him that big a pop?

 

[Bluekaveli]

YES BABY DADDY SWAGGY

ON YOUR KNEES!

 

[Aeternus Malum]

So they managed to find Swagger after he left a couple weeks ago, I take it?

He left?

 

[Anth0ny]

I'm pretty sure Vince would have had an onslaught of WWF guys asking for their payday if word got out that the WCW guys got to keep their WCW paydays.

Vince should have straight up not ran the invasion angle until the Goldbergs and Hogans contracts ran out.

The show did 770,000 buys without the real big stars and bad build.

The problem was that Vince didn't want to upset the locker room and pay these guys huge amounts of money to give up their current deals and come to the WWE.

Back then it was not guys playing videogames and getting along. It was paranoia and fighting over keeping your spot. So when the WCW guys came in the WWE roster crapped on them and talked behind there back,

The angle had so much going against it to be a true success.

Man, that Vince McMahon. What a nice guy, caring about the locker room like that.

He should have paid the big names wcw money. Austin, rock, hhh, taker. If some jabroni like edge asked for that kind of money back in 2001, and Vince told him to fuck himself.... What exactly was said jabroni going to do? In case you haven't noticed, the boss just BOUGHT the competition! No more threatening to go to wcw. Either take your pay.... Or go to the indies in 2001. Lol

Again, I just look at how much money they made with that god awful angle and build without the big guys and I really don't think money would have been an issue in any way if they actually brought those guys in.

Waiting a year until their contract ended to do the invasion would have been a better alternative too, but I do think there's a certain amount of "striking while the iron is hot" to an angle like that. The payday to a show headlined by Austin vs Goldberg pays EVERYONE and then some.

 

[plagiarize]

If Titus causes a distraction that lets Swagger win I will never forgive him.

 

[Bluekaveli]

He left?

I still want to hear more about this. He was on sd last week anyway.

 

[Professor Beef]

He left?

There was a rumor that he left the arena in a huff a couple weeks ago.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Titus is so boring.

 

[Kuroyume]

What is Titus saying

 

[Bluekaveli]

I want Swaggu on sd with his old music.

 

[plagiarize]

Titus is so boring.

I'm glad he told me that MLK wasn't a boxer.

 

[TheSchwab_7]

JBL: What has held you back?

Titus: Idk being fucking suspended and a color Vince doesn't like

 

[Kyari]

Titus is uh ... not ... great ... on commentary.

 

[UberTag]

Didn't Titus already get bodied by Rusev during his first US title run?

Rusev bodied Mark Henry, R-Truth and each member of the New Day individually... but, oddly enough, did not go through Titus O'Neil. So this is fresh and new.
