While Roman Reigns is still being looked at by WWE officials as one of the leading up-and-comers for a major push leading into WrestleMania 31, and he remains in good standing with officials, there is mounting concern that he’s not getting over enough with the fans.

The concern stems from the way fans react to Reigns and it’s even furthered WWE’s strategy to carefully book Reigns going forward.

[The Batman]

I think fans, smark or not, can sense that Roman is getting a forced push to the top. If they're not smart about this, they'll end up with yet another top face that gets a divisive response.

 

[The Sage]

They can see he's getting pushed over other fan favorites like Dolph and Ambrose.

It would help if he improved in the ring and put on stronger matches that would win the fans' respect.

 

[NotFadeAway]

I know I haven't been around much lately....but here are some of my thoughts:

- On the subject of the Night of Champions title match, I see two outcomes that help all around. One, a much more competitive match between Lesnar and Cena all around. No matter what, I want the same physicality as Summerslam and Extreme Rules but more even across the board. You have two finishes that I would book. One, Cena becomes so frustrated with being unable to put Brock away that he unintentionally gets himself disqualified. This keeps Brock looking like a monster and retains credibility for Cena while at the same time possibly furthering Cena's character psychologically. Two, the cheaper route. Brock locks Cena in the Kimora and breaks his arm with Cena refusing to tap, passing out ala Austin. Same effect and it writes Cena off television for awhile because as far as I'm concerned they don't need him. True, he is only the only proven babyface draw currently with Bryan on the shelf but Brock himself is a draw currently and this would allow your younger tier babyfaces room to grow and see who is worthy of dethroning Brock at Mania.

- The backlash against Reigns is coming. The fans know he is the chosen one and will revolt. Someone said he is Batista 2.0 and I agree to a point. He is better in the ring than Batista because he is a more fluid athlete and the potential is there on the mic, but thats all it is, potential. As far as I'm concerned, Ambrose is the more bankable star. Reigns needs a monster heel to work with. If I'm booking things, I turn Big Show heel and have him cost Henry the match against Rusev at NOC. Brush through those two quickly and then insert Reigns in a feud with Big Show to establish himself as a true powerhouse.

- With Ambrose coming back, I do think he should move away from Rollins and pair off with Demon Kane. I like the idea of Ambrose and demon Kane in buried alive matches, casket matches, etc. Get Ambrose further over as a nutjob and see how far you can ride that wave.

- On the subject of Daniel Bryan, say he can return around Survivor Series. Do NOT immediatly insert him in a match against Brock for numerous reasons that I shall answer later. The perfect return feud for Bryan is Rusev. Think about it, Bryan represents the American dream inside the WWE framework and I feel like this could be a nice way to re-establish Bryan, giving Rusev his first loss, Bryan notches a monster under his belt, and we build to Brock/Bryan.

- Brock can go down at the Rumble and it's there that you decide on Reigns or Ambrose as your guy against Brock. If you feel that neither is ready, go with Brock-Bryan at Mania and a Shield triple threat match.

- In my dream scenario, Brock-Ambrose is my title match at Mania. Follow that up with Cena-Bryan 2 and Reigns/Triple H. Here is my thought process. Not only do we need a babyface to replace Cena, after Brock is beating we will need a top heel to replace him. Pull a swerve. Ambrose becomes your top face, and after defeating triple h, h annoints Reigns as the new face of the wwe and intentionally shoves him down our throat to aggitate the WWE universe. Where this leaves Rollins, I don't know.

- And last, I can't help but look at the NXT roster and see a bunch of talent that TNA should have signed and built around a long time ago. NXT is everything TNA should have tried to be. Some of the TNA talent like Roode, Joe, Aries, even guys like Hardy and Bully Ray paired with KENTA, Steen, Zhyan, Neville/Pac, etc. Could have been a great alternative.

So my wwe network subscription doesn't end until March 3rd,That will be the day I retire as a wrestling fan..or semi retire since I may check out results once in a while.

To me it's a huge deal because I've been watching since I was 1yo in 1986(fact!)and since then I have always remained a fan of different promotions but I just feel like it's finally time I hang up my mark out boots,I just recently suddenly started losing interest except for NXT but other than that I just don't feel my passion as a fan anymore as well as other things I enjoyed

[runawayboulder]

So my wwe network subscription doesn't end until March 3rd,That will be the day I retire as a wrestling fan..or semi retire since I may check out results once in a while.

To me it's a huge deal because I've been watching since I was 1yo in 1986(fact!)and since then I have always remained a fan of different promotions but I just feel like it's finally time I hang up my mark out boots,I just recently suddenly started losing interest except for NXT but other than that I just don't feel my passion as a fan anymore as well as other things I enjoyed

I left for a while too when Cenamania started running wild in 03. I just came back a few years ago and it's still enjoyable for the most part.

It's in a real rut right now but I expect big things in 2015. By January we'll have Ambrose, Bryan and Barrett back. Those 3 have left a major gap for sure. Plus we'll see Zayn, Ascension and some of the other NXT guys that have been around for a while move on up to the main roster while KENTA, Devitt and Steen fill their spots for a while.

 

[Wheels]

Looks like TNA has a champion to be proud of again......

 

[Lobo]

I've been watching since I was 4, which makes 30 years now. But, I've always btaken periodic breaks of anywhere from 4 months to a year. I find it helps.

Right now I'm watching and enjoying disc 1 of Decade of Deacdence. I'll definitely be taking a break from the main product for awhile. If I here there's a great must see match or promo I'll search it out, but that's it for awhile.

 

[Bat Brain]

 

[The Apocalypse]

Anyone watch My Name Is Paul Heyman?

 

[Wheels]

Bobby freakin' Roode.

That is all.

 

[bullets]

Stephen Amell (Oliver Queen/Arrow) wants to host Monday Night Raw... And said he would wrestle too. He posted it on his facebook tonight... He used the hashtag #AmellGetsRaw ...

So, I'd like to see this one happen. He's a pretty legit wrestling fan (he posted a video of him in his Arrow costume watching the WWE Network, he also has the Winged Eagle-Belt, haha.) He left a comment saying that "Lesnar terrifies him"

That's awesome. They've had numerous celebrities over the year and even though so e if then were more well know Amell is still relevant.

 

[Dr. Evil]

That's awesome. They've had numerous celebrities over the year and even though so e if then were more well know Amell is still relevant.

I doubt Vince knows who he is.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

I doubt Vince knows who he is.

I doubt Vince knew who most of the guest hosts were. Probably Bob Barker, Betty White and a hand full of others.

 

[Wheels]

I'm fine with people like Stephen Amell, Kevin Hart, Shaq, Betty White, and Hugh Jackman hosting RAW. Not fine with reality stars and irrelevant talk show hosts. Seriously WWE, you couldn't get Dr. Phil if you HAD to do the talk show stuff.

Since I don't think Jerry Springer was a guest host, I liked the last WWE guest host:

[Tony Clifton]

THE thing I love so far is how they are playing off his bad*** style. From his entrance music to him kicking Justin around while he was on the floor, his style is KICK. And thats good with me

 

[TheNextNolan22]

KENTA still kicking heads in? Fine by me.
