Guest bernardblack Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Funny feeling Owens wins the briefcase via shenanigans and we get Braun vs owens for the title down the line. Probs have to add Reigns into that because...Reigns 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 To be honest, I want Reigns to win. At least then you have someone who is there and can run stories with. Lesnar used to be this massive attraction, and I genuinely looked forward to his matches. But now he's put on the same match for what seems like decades, and it's no longer interesting. Frustrating too, because it's clear that if he really fancies it, he could put on a brilliant match. I want them to take a leaf out of NXTs book at the end of Summerslam. Presumably Lesnar/Reigns goes on last, and presumably Reigns finally wins. But even if he doesn't, whatever result you get is going to get booed out of the building. Put up the wee advertising board, which usually means the end, and then just when you think they're about to fade to black... BRAAAAAAAAAAAUN! Or just have him appear, standing behind the winner as he raises the belt. The pop would be massive, and it gets the title away from both shitty options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 So what was the chant last night? We Want Roman or We Want Strowman? I've seen reports of both. Vince will be fucking delighted if it's the former, they've finally managed to do it through sheer bloody mindedness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 They've resorted to paying Lesnar loads of money and not having him on TV just to try and get Roman cheered. They still don't get it. Even if he was cheered against Lesnar, he won't be cheered against other folk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I watched raw for the first time in a while last week and reigns has actually improved in the ring but the way he's booked just means he won't be cheered. Best thing they could do is turn him into a proper heel but they won't. As long as merchandise is getting shifted they are happy to put on a sub par show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 They got a massive TV deal with Fox recently no? They don't care about how fans react to Roman. They haven't so far and they will continue not to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I don’t understand why they don’t attempt to do a Rock. Have him be a heel for a while, then turn him when people begin liking him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have him be a heel for a while, then turn him when people begin liking him. That's what surprises me. I know they don't really care about bad reaction given the money will keep rolling in, but the only thing people with a lot of money like is having more money. Reigns is marketable, no doubt about it, and I think he could end up being more marketable if they do some kind of turn, even if it's towards a more popular heel, then turn him back once people like him again. Just seems like they'd have an easier time across the board doing that - more popular faces going up against him, better matches, seems a far better fit for him as a person. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Vince McMahon is a bitter p***k who hates wrestling fans. If he can make money and get it right up us into the bargain, he'll always take that route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Tunbridge Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Modern wrestling fans don’t deserve heel turns anyway. People would just cheer whatever he did to turn heel then cheer him anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the previously mentioned Rock. As Rocky Maivia he was booed out of the building all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I’m not even sure they need to turn Reigns heel. They just need to build him as the unstoppable fighter that he is. It’s pointless having him as the constant underdog when you know he’s going to get it done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't do him any favours that he was 'protected' last night by Angle keeping him out of the tag match with Rollins. Makes him seem like the golden boy he was accusing Lesnar of being, as well as being a bit of a pussy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
