If he knows he's not fooling anyone, he wouldn't keep editing Smackdown's audio.
No way he receives as many boos as before. For tonight at least he'll get mostly cheers out of respect.
A good chunk of people's ill will towards Reigns was from the idea of him walking out of Mania as champ. Add to that the fact he had an incredible match and took a beating, it's going to be a lot better for him going forward from here.
Everything about his cash in felt "I HAVE THE SMALLEST WINDOW IN THE HISTORY OF PLANET EARTH TO CASH IN ON GOD KING! PRAY FOR ME!"

Legit question, how much do they have taped from old house shows, because I'd be all over that.

Can we talk about how good Barrett looked last night? Nice combination of HGH and diueretics but goddam.
It was a shit finish that actually worked.

Network could get plenty of stuff to make me resub. The rest of Prime Time Wrestling, All the Clash's, All WCW Pro Wrestling shows(Shit, this exists online. There's not that many episodes of it.), WCW Saturday Night (92-97), All the WCCW Parade of Champions, Georgia stuff so I can see Ladd/Onrdorff, Mid-Atlantic.
I see shit like Guest Booker from KC and I think, 'why the fuck doesn't WWE do this?' Bring back Confidential. Do mini-30 minute documentaries on wrestlers you think might not necessitate a full dvd release like an Ernie Ladd. Do more stuff like the Making of Wrestlemania 9. Do more interviews with legends. Arn Anderson and Dean Malenko sitcom.

Well he could still turn this around. Best bet is to line him up with a legit feud and not squeeze him into something. He (WWE creative) should take note of how DB did it, which was a 2 year process that built up to him winning at WM last year.It wasn't a 2 month process.
Turn him heel tonight, let the crowd eat him alive and keep working on his mic skills. I still think he is too "created". It just seems like everything that is "roman reigns" is totally created. I don't notice any hint of him actually participating in development. It seems like it is all being "taught" which will never work.

He should form a tag team with Cena.
when he started smiling at first i just thought "He's got Heyman on his side oh shit"
The WWE lost a lot of money on their last TV deal due to the network. The fact that it's not growing to make up that lost money is justifiably concerning to Wall Street.
It was supposed to be along the lines of Reigns being like "Is this all you got?"

I just think it was a "c'mon, is that all you got?" kind of reaction.

OK gaf I have some questions.
How could Seth Pin Reigns who is not the champ and walk out with the belt?
What kind of a relationship does UFC and WWE share?
I am confused as fook. The compete against each other for stars; they sometimes trash each other, and yet there clearly is some kind of working relationship.
I do not understand. Does someone know more?

Dean Ambrose in Need For Speed 2.
He was onto something with the smiling from the slaughtering of the Bork but him just no selling the hell out of each move was just plain silly. I would say go with the tough guy image, cut back on trying to make him the "face of the WWE", and just let him be him. The reason why people loved him a year ago is because dude gave no fucks. He got in, kicked ass, and walk out. His shield run hid a lot of problems with him such as his lack of doing a quality promo and the fact that he needs more work as a singles wrestler.
I know I tend to give him shit but it's out of love because dude has something but the WWE just wanted to blow their load on pushing him onto fans without letting him grow first. Dude just got out of the fucking shield for crying out loud...at least Rollins and Ambrose had other factors in their way.
I want to be right. If he gets tons of boos it'll be pretty shitty honestly. He has momentum to work with now that shouldn't be squashed by the fans.
This is coming from someone that was having a mental breakdown when it looked like Reigns might win at one point during that match last night.

Was I the only one who liked Reigns smiling during the asskicking?

it was turned into a triple thread match, just like how bryan one last year in a triple threat he didnt pin orton.
i still think the ronda thing was just vince wanting to take shoots at punk. they trashed him for showing up at ufc events and wanting to walk people out.
I like how Seth did the curbstomp on Brock and didn't bother pining him and just went for another.
I thought it was good too.
Christ, even Cena didn't have that.
I'll give Reigns credit for the facials after his first two superman punches only rocked Brock, that was well done.
No, it was excellent. The two dudes I watched with who aren't fans of his said as much too.
A simple way of conveying "that all the big bad Brock has?". Made sense.
Man that Russev entrance was the bomb diggity.
Dude had cannons, Lana had on that white dress looking like lawd, and he came in a friggin tank. I don't want the ride to be over
Don't forget that dope ass track jacket.

Nah, I liked it too.
Man, that entrance was amazing. Lana with that fur and title being escorted by Russian nazis and then comes Rusev in a damn tank. A TANK!!Man that Russev entrance was the bomb diggity.

Rusev'll be dancing in a comedy tag team with Mizdow by Summerslam.

WWE and UFC are developmental training territories for each other.
Brock has perfected the "stumbling but never going down" bump. He puts the move that hit him AND himself over with it.
When does Aksana debut in the cage?
Have you never watched an action movie where our hero starts smiling and laughing as they're getting tortured?
The most acceptable explanation would be him laughing after realising how completely fucked he was, because at that point, all you can do is laugh. It's a human reaction.
More evidence that the whole CM Punk situation is just an elaborate work.
MMAksana is banned from the octagon.
With those illegal knees, never.
