They did address this on Raw two weeks after it happened. Rollins said he was just trying to capitalize on an opportunity to prevent John Cena from becoming champion and claimed he thought Paul Heyman would appreciate that since Paul is an opportunist. Heyman told him they would let the issue go, but if Rollins tried to do something again, he was going to have to deal with Lesnar.
From everything I read, the Rock-Rusev segment is being praised. But I don't understand why. A guy who hasn't wrestled in two years randomly shows up, runs Rusev down and the knocks him out of the ring. Rusev has been built as a monster who toppled Giants only to have a 40 something year old come out and get the better of him. And worse, the likelihood of Rusev getting heat back is largely non existent because let's face it, the Rock's in, out, and on to his next movie. Do you agree it did more harm than good?
It all depends on the follow-up. If they use that as a moment to make Rusev even more angry and dominant by "taking it out on everyone else", before eventually doing Rock vs. Rusev, it won't hurt him. If they never address it again, I can see why it made Rusev look weaker. As I addressed in an audio update in the Elite section of PWInsider.com, the problem isn't the segment itself, but the fact that WWE's predilection towards making part-timers look stronger then ful-timers is going to hurt them long term when it's time for the full-timers alone to carry the load. I've been writing about that for years.
I'm thinking about Hogan's Susan G. Komen promo. Did he have a cue card guy or something, that was a very elaborate set of comments with a lot of details and he nailed them all? I sure couldn't have memorized that!
No cue cards. Hogan learned his bullet points and cut the promo, the way it's supposed to be done in pro wrestling!
Why hasn't Sable been back around for any of the WWE's Attitude Era programming? I didn't see any interviews with her on Network programming, she hasn't shown up for any of the WWE Old School shows, and you never hear about her making appearances.
From time to time, Sable is at WWE events backstage with her husband Brock Lesnar, but my guess is that WWE simply hasn't approached her about doing anything. I am sure at some point, we'll see her go in the Hall of Fame, etc.
I am sad to see Damien Sandow in the state he is now since he had such potential. With WWE having a lack of baby faces I had an idea and would like your thoughts. Damien Sandow hates everything the Miz stands for and the only reason he became Damien Mizdow was to learn eveything about him so he could utterly destroy him. I think Sandow would instantly become a face and it would make for a really compelling storyline. Your thoughts?
That's fine as a storyline. I don't have an issue with how Sandow is being used right now. A featured role as a second is better than no role. He's getting the most out of what little he's been given and should be praised for that. I have enjoyed his work as Damien Mizdow quite a bit.
