Caught the Roman promo
Dude cannot tell a story, which is a shame since he had to recap the entire "feud." He also can't work with a crowd.

He doesn't fit in the tradition of jacked up wrestlers brought in from outside Mexico to work in AAA or CMLL ('sup Marco Corleone), but he would fit fine next to the fat luchadore tradition. Except he's not a luchadore, and he's not fat luchadore fat.

He's Jack Evans.
You know, I was looking at promos and trying to find one with the notion that, even if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, you can still do a good promo if you believe in what you're saying. Then I found this

That's some creepy foresight.
That's because the target audience for Vince is busniessmans kids.

Does anyone else see the US open challenge as a joke, for Cena to kill every mid car person on the roster? or is it just me? Its the most egotistical thing I have seen in a long time.

It elevates mid-carders to get a chance to shine.

How many midcarders has it actually propelled though?

Each of them. Before, they hadn't had a match with John Cena. Now they have. They're given opportunity.
The opportunity to reveal just how low their glass ceilings are?
I guess that's an opportunity...

"Would you like to go out there and wrestle tonight with a future hall of famer, and currently a legendary wrestler?" fuck yeah.

This is shocking as all hell
I know when I pull a gun on a dude, he just lets it go
Also all those times Alberto would just kick the shit out of Sin Cara were hilarious. CRAZY ASS GERMAN. Immediately kicks him in the face. Sin Cara fakes being hurt on a dive so Alberto looks like shit. Cue the asskicking again.
.....ok
You mean I get to wrestle Kane!

Also, let's be real. Working with Cena is a boon, because the focus is always on him, so they get taken care of.
Afterward, they don't matter as much, so they get less care from creative. For people like Rusev and Owens, though, they bounce back pretty quick.

Don't worrywwe is Hotter Than ever
what
no
the only ones who came out of this alive are Owens and Rusev (pre-last RAW), everyone else just lost and went back to "who cares" status
they got elevated for 12 min I guess, alright
give it 6 months

The US Open challenge is a Cena feud condensed into one night.
I still enjoy the matches though.

US title is like the never title. It only means something when Cena has it other wise no one cares.
Just like when ishii has the never title It only matters

He sounds fake. He sounds like he's trying to do the Dave Chappelle white guy voice when he cuts a promo. I just wonder who he really is, and if he even had a real enough personality that can break through because that's the only way I ever see him becoming a star.

Opportunity for what? They show up, lose to Cena, then go back to where they were before they showed up.

Look, that promo sucked, but it was better than Seth Rollins giving a 3 times as long one every week.

Hoping these WM32 packages last until I get paid, going to go with the Silver package I think.

To have a match with Cena, to get people to watch. Lots of people aren't interested in anyone but Cena, so it helps them get recognized, even if it's brief.

It's kind of crazy how Lucha Undeground got me to care about wrestlers I've never heard of and have no attachment to, or in some cases have negative association with (Mundo, Chavo, Big Rick) in a real short time, no problem.
Meanwhile, I love a lot of people on the RAW roster and don't care about anything they're doing.
But hey, I'm optimistic about HIAC and what comes after.

Bork leaving his ass high and dry back in 2004 really did a number on him.

Big Ryck is a great character and fits in well as that character. Chavo still ain't shit, though...
LU is a master class in characterization of its wrestlers. Every promotion could take some notes and techniques away from LU and use it to enhance their own promotion.
Nothing about any promos on a RAW are good. The writing is bad. All of it.
I feel New Day is the only successful group right now since they've been given the green light to just do their own shit. They are motivated, while the rest of the roster has no reason to feel good about their characters or stories.
I still wonder how the New Day managed to convince creative to let them loose while everyone else is stuck using scripts.
it would be nice if the announcers would actually put over the dudes in the Cena US challenge the next week on television. "ziggler was in an absolute WAR with john cena last week and came as close as anyone to taking that championship from him"
*as ziggler beats the fuck out of jack swagger, pinning him clean with relative ease*
like, in kayfabe, if someone pushes john fucking cena to the limit like most guys do in these open challenge matches, shouldn't they completely wreck whatever "lower tier" opponent they face the next week?
you know, instead of forgetting that it ever happened and never mentioning it again and the midcarder just returning to his random midcard jobber status

Because they broke out of the shit gimmick they were saddled with, and a lot of the rest of the roster is incapable of doing that (including some of the IWC's faves like Cesaro).
Vince probably finds them really entertaining. Also he's backed Big E from the beginning.
