CI Wrestling Thread #56

Love how the crowd is totally taking to Becky as a heel.

Another great job by WWE creative.

She should tell em all they’re stupid, make fun of their city and local pro sports team, and do a “dumb” imitation of their accent.

And also let em all know she doesn’t need em.

They’ll really hate her then.

-- Roman Reigns' title reign with the Universal championship is expected to be "lengthy" according to his sources within WWE and as such, it is unlikely that Braun Strowman will capture the belt at Hell in a Cell. He speculates that after the PPV, WWE will likely move away from a Strowman/Reigns program.

-- The next challenger for Reigns is rumored to be Drew McIntyre, according to the column even though Strowman himself is expected to remain a heel.

Also I heard in regards to Becky, that she isn't your "typical heel". WWE saw the reaction to Lynch and realized they can make her the cool heel that people will cheer for. Almost like the anti-hero. Deadpool for example.
 
Best way to go heel today is to go over-the-top 80’s babyface imo. Smile, hi-5, bounce and dance and have awful synthesizer music. Dress in neon. Maybe have a headband like the Hulksters? That whole chestnut. The unwashed masses would HATE that today.

I loved what Kurt Angle and Randy Orton did when they first got on tv. Promos and vignettes like over-the-top baby faces. Then, they were so 2-faced (wannabe faces doing obvious heel stuff in matches) that they got their heat. Then, the crowd ultimately appreciated their characters after a while so they could turn face down the road.

The Rock did the same thing except he was really trying to be face, only to be met with DIE ROCKY DIE chants. So . . . he changed the direction of his character and it fit. The rest is history.

Reigns is “too cool” to do any of ^that^ though. There’s been too much time and energy invested into this version of Roman so you get what you get.
 
So 4 months ago they did a tag match at the super bowl of wrestling where they literally put Braun and a special needs kid over as champs, and now he is heel?

I mean Monday could easily be an “enemy of my enemy” deal where eventually once Braun has had 2 matches then Drew gets his shot.

No need to be a heel here, but WWE is what they are.

Roman Reigns is probably pretty dumb in real life. Just a stupid person who's blessed with a great body and sweet hair/smile/eyes.

Bet he doesn't even know the difference between baking and broiling food.

Probably doesn't know how many feet are in a mile.

That sorta thing.

Best thing they could do for Becky is to strip her down into a bikini and throw her into a mud rasslin match or have her do an evening gown program with Alexa Bliss.

I Bo-leive they tried that.

Geez not surprised but disappointed...wonder if Drew attacks Zig saying he held him back and they turn Ziggler face?

Did that WWF company have AOL or Flair in the company from 1999-2000?

Did Vince go crazy on spending money? NO

If so then Nitro would air next Monday at 7:57
 
I mean Owen Hart was the greatest wrestler to not win the WWF/WWE Championship and his matches in 94 with his brother were 2 of the top 25 greatest matches of all time in WWE.

See I can't hate on Bret Hart long, he's awesome I feel bad for doing it

Owen was a great wrestler but his mic skills were non existent. Bret worked his way to be decent on the mic but Owen was just bad. Owen was never going to be a WWE champion with those mic skills.

We can run this alongside kicking your leg out of your leg and call it a push.
 
You got lost this isn't Pornhub

I’m not lost. That’s a different tab I keep open.

I will see to it one day Col gets banned

Mark it down

I’ll ban myself if you’ll eat a cyanide sandwich.

That was mean. I take it back. I’d settle for fighting a cobra... trying to hold your breath under water for 5 minutes. Either/or.

I could yell about a slammy too but that doesn't make me consistently good on the mic. He seemed disinterested most the time almost to day dreaming. I hit youtube and did find a few good moments so he wasn't consistently awful.

I don't think Reigns is a great speaker either but I put that on Vince because he is the one yelling out lines in Reigns' ear piece.
