Brock looking flabby as hell.
Should have switched sides to show off Reigns' arm tattoo.Got to make Roman look strong
Honestly, as much as I don't care about Reigns it's hard to fault WWE on their plan to put him over. It's pretty flawless.
Even if the middle of the story was bad the start and ending point of this push is pretty great. Shame the main guy in the story is someone I don't care.
Next weekend might be 2Sena4meWall Cena and Sena in the same week, I love it MAGGLE.
You want some, come get some!!!!Next weekend might be 2Sena4me
I honestly can't think of anything Roman has done since rumble. He did the "stand over here, stand over here, ok now I'm not going to talk to you and talk to the camera" promo with Heyman.
I know he has done some more promos and has had a few matches (right?) I think he beat Mark Henry on smackdown and...maybe a few others?
Great way to build the next top star.
You want some, come get some!!!!
When is he suppose to come to NXT?
Brocks like "I don't need no pre fight work out for this chump" Brock wll beat him while eating a T Bone steak.Brock looking flabby as hell.
I think if Brock re-signs on Monday night like WWE wants him to, he'll retain. I just don't see him re-signing before Mania.
Diesel's main failure as a champion stems from two things.
1. Wrestling as a whole was severely down in 1994 and 1995 in the US. It's not like WCW was killing it yet either. Attendance was ghastly.
2. He was a giant 7 foot tall with five moves...and was a baby face. That means instead of facing Bret/HBK/Taker/Razor in matches where he could show how ruthless he was, he had to sell to credible looking heels. This meant the likes of Bam Bam, Mabel, Sid. Oh sure, HBK was heel most of the time...but you can't have him believably sell face in peril against a guy he towers over. So he had to face shitty guys and sell for them month after month. His two competitive matches as a face are a Face/Face with Bret at Royal Rumble 1995 which is a great match with a ton of interference and his match against HBK at WM 11 where HBK steals the show, making Diesel look kind of like a fool while also putting him over and cements himself as the next big babyface for next years program.
The second Diesel loses the belt to Bret and becomes a tweener he immediately starts having the best matches of his career against Bret/HBK/Taker.
As far as Reigns goes he probably won't have that sort of problem even if they went with him as a face champion. He's not that big so that he'd have to pull off a credible face in peril to the likes of Big Show and Kane week after week and he has a bunch of natural opponents already lined up. His problem is that they stopped booking him like an unbeatable monster a few weeks back and that the Rumble for many reasons didn't help him. None of his eliminations really mattered or looked good. They tried with Show and Kane but it just didn't make him look strong. 2004 John Cena would have put both of them on his back and tossed them out.
Catching a random indy jobber isn't impressive. He probably weighs as much as CureVylash soaking wet!
WCW's attendance in 1995 was dire. Their big year was 1994 with Hogan goosing the numbers but after he went through Flair and Vader he just wasn't drawing at all. They both end the year on the right path though.
if he hasn't signed yet (which he likely has a deal either with ufc or wwe verbally), he'll pull a punk and sign wm day.
Got my tickets for NXT in the mail this weekend! Hype increasing!This weekend is going to be crazy! NXT on Friday, Wrestlemania on Sunday, and Raw next Monday.
Damn, I wish I could go to the LU tapings. How does one score tickets to that?
Real talk: "Dashing" Cody Rhodes and "I'm ugly and so are you. No one look at me." Cody Rhodes are the best runs Cody's ever had.

My only exposure to Cody comes from watching him as Stardust. I understand the wasted potential with the gimmick, the dude can cut a promo better than most current wrasslers. Are there any matches prior to Stardust that were exceptional or is the praise mostly due to his character?Vanilla Face Cody Rhodes during the Authority storyline where he got fired could've been special as well. Dude should've been up in a Bryan/Punk trinity and carry that company.
