What is the big deal with Kevin Owens? I get that he's a good wrestler but there's a lot of good wrestlers out there that haven't been given a chance. Here's a guy that looks out of shape with a farmers tan, wrestles in a t-shirt and has some of the most bland, boring and uninteresting promos but yet people are all over him. The guys that have a great look work hard for it,I'm not saying that every wrestler should look like Finn Balor or EC3 but if you look like you just rolled out of bed shouldn't you be more interesting than just being a good wrestler?
To you, I guess not. To me, guys don’t have to be jacked to be good workers. Dusty Rhodes, Mick Foley, Harley Race, Dick Murdoch, the list goes on and on. Owens is a great worker, does strong promos and has charisma. That makes him a good wrestler to me.
If Shane McMahon made a surprise comeback on Raw or a PPV, do you think he'd get a big pop? Or would they have to explain who he is more like when Kevin Nash attacked CM Punk?
He would undoubtedly get a huge pop, no matter where they ran.
So how dumb was it of Paige and Miz to encourage the Tough Enough guys to work while injured on Tough Talk? I mean, Daniel Bryan was sat RIGHT THERE, on the shelf for working while injured. The business is so backwards sometimes.
They were telling the truth. Guys and girls have to work hurt. There’s a difference between working hurt and working injured however.
The whole angle where the NXT girls came to raw was awesome and I saw you said the only problem you had with the angle was Steph's involvement (acting baby face ect). It seems like everyone is over looking how lazy this whole thing was booked, Steph just put the girls on teams and they were all okay with it. Why not have a couple of weeks of events leading up to the teams forming, you know to tell a story or something?
To be fair, they did have a few weeks of Paige having no back up, so they did do that. Yes, it could have been better but it was still well done overall in my opinion.
Why is WWE so reliant on using attitude era stars? They just had their current world champion get destroyed in 4 minutes only to have the man that did it to him be easily taken out by someone that wrestles once a year and probably owns a AARP card. Maybe they sold a couple network subscriptions for SummerSlam, but what about a month after that when Undertaker and Brock are back home? On the same ppv they have Kevin Owens tap out in his match. John Cena has been fantastic during his United States title run, but they had the chance to make a star in Owens with the win. Cena could have easily absorbed the loss. The over reliance on aging past their prime stars and the inability to develop future ones reminds me of what ultimately caused WCW's demise. Is McMahon out of touch with his own product?Â
I said the same things when it happened. The reason is that Vince hasn’t committed to anyone 100% other than Randy Orton and John Cena in the last decade so he doesn’t have any current guys that he trusts that get the pops that the older guys do. If I were him, I would have already been working on fixing that.
