This video package for the main event next week is one of the best WWE has done. Cannot wait.

Ciampa and Gargano are so interesting to watch. Remind me of London/Kendrick.
Also, their names are just so good.
It's pretty amazing how good of a douche heel Balor's entrance is. That sexy jacket is so much better than that facepaint junk he was doing. I actually never cared for Balor until the sexy jacket.
I can agree on Apollo, but he just doesn't have a reason to do anything but smile right now. He seems he can make a good, arrogant heel. I wonder if he can bring out the emotion as a face though.
Sami Zayn was a fantastic babyface because of this.
I said before that Raw lacks a compelling hero. Ambrose was the last guy who they squandered, and Daniel Bryan was the man before getting put into a Kane feud and stripped of the title.
But Sami Zayn was NXT, and his promos with Neville were tremendous. That guy really nails the emotions like no one else.

Look if you really think about it they've been holding Cena back for years. Dude will never win over ISEC or the rest of neckbeard masses while he's face. So despite all the work the dude puts in and strides he makes, chanting John Cena Sucks has just become a thing people do without any thought. This seems like a pretty deliberate decision made by the WWE to prevent Cena from ever getting too over, sure hes winning matches but dude is getting squashed.

Haha, pretending that WWE has long-term foresight and works in a proactive, rather than a reactive manner. Good one, Pepsi.

I actually really like the look of this:
The motherfucking Battle of Yaounde 2015~!
I have to admit, this isn't a terrible homage of Uncanny X-Men #141's cover:

Already took place, unfortunately. But I liked the look of that poster, so I had to post it on the first #IndiePosterThursday of October.

It'd just be a blank poster, we wouldn't be able to decide what to put on it

He really does, though - Mr. Nasty - he's a ton of fun to watch and definitely has "it"
they tried with Reigns, but the fans said no, no, no
Well Goldberg didn't tell nursery rhyme promos.
After Reigns got injured he should have disappeared until the rumble.
He's probably going to be back at the Takeover show or the tapings the night after. He's already been backstage at the shows for a while, someone who attended the most recent tapings said he was there at the building with no sign of any trouble with his arm.

Their core audience is conditioned to hate him. That's a heel if I've ever heard of one, really - ranks up there with "gay gimmicks get booed" in the 80s, things like that.
Smh wrasslin promotions these days.

Omg this is glorious.
They did it in the 80s. He was called Ultimate Warrior and you guys shit on him for being the exact same thing as Goldberg. Just more badass and first.
Goldberg's run is underrated at this point.
Bad ass look.
Bad ass entrance
Bad ass theme
Bad ass move set.
All because he couldn't work a 15 min wrestling match he gets berried tho. Fuck that, I never wanted a 15 min Goldberg match. I wanted 2 minutes of destruction. It was like seeing a Tyson fight every week.

It would be terrible.
They would have everyone job to the asshat just to build him up (kind of like they are having everyone job to Big Show just because they think that it will somehow make people believe that there is some sliver of a chance that he might beat Brock Saturday) hurting most of your roster to build one person who eventually will have to lose.
It worked in the day when you had Iron Mike Sharpes and Barry Horowitzes to throw in front of them aplenty but sooner or later you will run out of your Fandangos and Adam Roses to toss in front of them.

I've also noticed a trend where WWE is crafting a narrative that John Cena is some sort of master backstage manipulator in order to further turn the fans against him. Why else would multiple divas be told to bring up the tired sexist talking point of "Nikki's success is owed to whom she sleeps with"
Everyone's music was over. Warrior was huge until he got the belt and there was no one for him to fight because everyone except Rude had lost to him.
Matter of preference, I guess. You're allowed to be wrong.
They're shooting, brother
Bingo. Everybody bought Tyson fights to see Tyson wreck the fuck out of someone in the first round. Goldberg was the pro wrestling version of that.
They need enhancement talent. They need guys that nobody has heard of on raw so you don't have people trying to start a groundswell of the Chuck Taylor's and Hugh Morris's getting main event pushes.
Remember the Jobbers they got to get the ascension over in 3 second matches? They should do that but longer matches and have teams no sell offense.
But did people tune in to see dubya cee dubya, or the N W O

Jesus CHRIST that UCW poster
Or a Warrior-Triple H match at Wrestlemania 12. Fans wanted to see him, and they did. They wanted to see him beat the snot out of someone, they did. That's all that is needed.
Nowadays, these smark fans would want to see him do a suicide dive followed by a superkick outside. Then get on the apron to do a asai moonsault.

Yeah, they really need to cut that shit out. Nikki has been doing well since returning from injury.
