forameus Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) One of my favourite chants was the 'you deserve it' chant to Bryan on the raw after he won at WM. Can just imagine the reaction for Reigns. It could be pretty good if he turns on the fans though. That's what's so annoying about it. With one tiny change, they could turn this all around with Reigns. It seems like almost a lock that he's going to win, and very likely that they'll paint it as the big underdog, and super-face that has just won the title. Instead, they could have it go that way right up until he wins it, then move to a more natural fit for Reigns personally - either do it at WM and have him turn on the Rock if he comes down, or have him turn on the fans at WM or on RAW the next night. I know they're not going to want this guy to be a heel, but if they do it right, you're still going to have the same fans cheering him, only the boos he's going to inevitably get will actually be directed at his character rather than how he's getting pushed. It's why I think that there must be something planned. Not as huge as HHH retaining or anything, but something more than just a straight clean victory for Reigns. They always bring something out for WM, even if it's right at the last moment. Edited March 17, 2016 by forameus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesc Fabregas Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 The biggest swerve will be Roman Reigns winning clean as a whistle at 'Mania and then pitching up on Raw the next night grinning and smirking. I, for one, look forward to that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Wrestlemania is a smark heavy audience. Anyone who thinks that the crowd just leaned slightly towards Lesnar last year might need to watch that again. A very pro Lesnar crowd. And it's always the same. RAW is basically the same thing, but it's magnified because of the smaller hall. Reigns is going to get booed to f**k at Mania. Guaranteed. Just like last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Reigns was absolutely slaughtered at Mania last year. Can't believe anyone thinks it was 'swaying towards the negative' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Reigns was absolutely slaughtered at Mania last year. Can't believe anyone thinks it was 'swaying towards the negative' I took it as swaying towards just being negative as opposed to all-out hatred. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Watching the WWE Network - and purely from an on screen perspective - it's devastating that Vince is ageing cause he's probably still the best heel in wrestling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bernardblack Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Is Stephanie a face when hhh isn't around? Also, that "recap" shows Shane coming back when Vince says: "You can have everything you want, as long as you have one match" Has he even said that he has to beat Taker? God I hate (love) wrestling! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never actually said that he had to beat him, which people picked up on, but suspect that's what they meant. Now they're ret-conning it in by saying that Takers out if he loses. Again though, I read it as "It's his last Wrestlemania" if he loses. Does that mean he doesn't retire but can't wrestle at WM? They've made a complete arse of the whole thing, and in a way it's sad that they'll probably be redeemed by it being a must-watch. They could really knock things out the park with storytelling, but always seem so reluctant to. EDIT: Also, Luke Harper looks like he's joined the long injury list. Torn ACL early on in the dark match of RAW. Was seen collapsing, then punching the ring in frustration before being treated outside. Absolutely terrible news for the guy.

Ira Gaines Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Eoin Doyle, on 22 Mar 2016 - 02:52, said:Shane wins and then brings back taker Because the definite best way to retain Taker's character is to have a non-wrestler beat him, and then for Taker to need help from said non-wrestler. Might as well chuck Taker altogether if that's the idea. It won't be though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Have we found out yet why Taker is fighting for Vince and why he hasn't just refused to do so? Bray Wyatt has been on the main roster for 2 years and 9 months. They've majorly fucked him. Guy should be brilliant but they just keep giving him crap and having him lose. Also someone apparently attacked Strowman last night. What sort of fucking idiot would try that? The size of Strowman! Also I think the League of Nations are the biggest jobber stable ever, despite actually getting some wins. They are just an abysmal failure and a huge waste of each guy. They should just be called 'Not Americans'. They represent the utter failure of 'creative'. The fucking Social Outcasts are better than these jabronis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 KO defending his belt in an intercontinental ladders match should be a cracker with the participants involved. The new stipulation in the main event makes it obvious that Shane is going to win. I wish they'd just left it as it was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Shane is beating Taker. Once you accept that, life is much easier. Zack Ryder, Miz, Stardust, Sin Cara and Ziggler getting an IC title shot= lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
