Why do the WWE induct a wrestler's gimmick in to the hall of fame instead of the wrestler. For example Rikishi. I like him better as fatu.
He got over more as Rikishi, so they chose that. To me, it’s semantics. The man plays the role, so by extension they induct the man.
Should the Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens feud be concluded in NXT or would it better be saved for when they are on the main roster? Scenario: Sami could be ready to return for his rematch but William Regal informs him that there won't be a rematch because he's being called up to the main roster after Wrestlemania, give him a few months to get the fans invested in him and put either the IC or US title on him at Summerslam or Survivor Series, then after the match out comes Owens to destroy him again making his debut, they could feud for a few months and have it end at Wrestlemania. I'm thinking something like that would be the best way to start their careers on the main roster instead of getting lost in some creative mess, which a lot of their fans seem to be worried about.
I think they could jumpstart some NXT guys very well by doing the “unfinished business†angle and letting them work with each other on the main roster. As we have seen too many times, when NXT talents get called up, they are used poorly by the creative team. I would like to see an extension of an NXT feud happen on WWE TV. You could do it after the fact too, as you mentioned.
Love the site guys. My question is about the looming Bray Wyatt vs. Undertaker match at WrestleMania. To me, it seems like WWE is getting on the train a year late again (much like not capitalizing on Reigns being over last year at the Rumble, but waiting until the next year to give him the nod and he got rejected by the fans). Wyatt vs. Undertaker could have been a passing the torch match where Undertaker could walk away and Bray would be an instant top guy. Instead, Lesnar broke the streak and had been promoted as unstoppable since. So wouldn't this be a no win situation for the WWE? Having Undertaker win doesn't help Bray and if he loses, Undertaker goes out on two straight losses and Lesnar's accomplishment of being the only man to knock off Taker at Mania gets diminished. Your thoughts?
They killed Bray’s momentum with how they booked him against John Cena. They made him look weak. So I agree here, if Taker loses, it’s a bummer and a lot of people will remember that Bray was pushed to the mid card until a few months ago. If Bray loses, well it will be hard to bring him back up the card from another huge loss.
AAAAHHHH!!!! I don't know if you feel like I feel, but sometimes I just want to plug my ears with something sharp when I listen to RAW commentary. Does Vince, Kevin, HHH, and everyone else is listening to Booker T say to themselves, "he's awesome! let's keep him right where he's at!"? Are they really enjoying listening to him? He is TERRIBLE! People have complained about the number of announcers, but that has nothing to do with it because JR, Taz, King and Cole all called and interbrand match at one point and it was great. It's not about how many it's about who. I love Booker T, don't get me wrong- but how does he still have a job at the commentary desk? When RAW does manage to have its highlights here and there- he ruins them for me.
Obviously Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn like him in the spot. He has moments when he can be really good, but times when he is really bad as well (especially when he engages with JBL). But Vince loves that kind of stuff so it will probably not change any time soon.
Please tell me they're not shoving Bull Dempsey back down the card. I love this gimmick. He's just a straight up smash mouth, in your face, heel. He's on a losing streak lately since he went after Corbin, and I like him to (for different reasons), but it seems like a bad move.
I haven’t read the spoilers so I can’t say (I like to be surprised when I watch NXT). But I hope this is just temporary. Bull is a fun guy to watch, in an old school way.
