Yeah, Logan Paul is just seeting up an easy W and big pop for Jey, since the fans hate Paul outside of just his heel character. I don't see there being any way that Paul wins and they immediately take the belt off a Jey, that would be weird.

And I noticed the same thing about the crowd, Vegas cheered when Dirty Dom won a belt, and then Rollins faction got a lot of cheers, and not many boos. Even took a while for the CM Punk chant to start. But Heyman/Rollins/Bron are all popular, so makes sense.

Then you got Fatu also being a super-over heel who gets cheered more than booed.

It's like the 90's are coming back.
Rollins wouldnt be popular without his theme.

They could literally do what they did to Nakamura when they changed his theme when he went heel the first time and removed the sing along ability.

I like the idea of the Heyman / Rollins / Bron stable a lot.

But FOR THE LOVE OF ALL HOLY FUCK someone make Seth doing that stupid retarded character. His outfits, his dumb laugh, his dumb way of talking...it's pure X-pac heat for me.

I mean, he's been "meh" to me every since he whined that he wasn't a locker room leader and talked shit to Ospreay about being a "better wrestler" because he makes more money. But his gimmick grates on my fucking nerves.

As an aside, am I the only one that thinks it weird to see Heyman in *another* stable where he's not the smartest one / mastermind?

Going all the way back, but especially in his various runs in WWE, he was never just a mouthpiece - he was always the brains & mastermind behind whoever he was working with. That was the kayfabe reason for the talent to be with him.

Roman not being it I thought was silly, but made sense for the "tribal cheif" character.

But now Rollins, too?

People like badasses.

I mean, Roman might be a face now, but he's still the same manipulative, self-serving asshole he's always been. People just cheer for him now.

And honestly, it likely wasn't a bad time for Cody to lose the belt. He's too much of goodie-two-shoes babyface to last for too long without getting booed.

He was already getting booed as far back as his program with Owens. Had he beaten Cena & still been champ / on tv, I think the crowds woulda almost completely turned on him by SS.

I really want Jeff Cobb to come back as Matanza Cueto, but I'd be totally good with him debuting to back up Gunther here to really get them both over as heels.

lol at Strowman getting released again. Good.

Hate that Kai got released. I guess that means Damage Control just isn't a thing, anymore?

I still don't get how they made Shayna this total badass in NXT, yet never did fuck all with her on the main roster. With Deville gone and now her, Zoey Stark better get ready, as she'll be next.

Shayna was surprising. Shotzi was apparently informed a bit ago that her contract wasn’t being renewed.

Damn, post-Wrestlemania culling in full effect.

Makes sense though. Roster is loaded, and lot of NXT talent they want to call up, and others they want to call up to NXT.

If you're mid, or just another jobber, you're expendable. Go try be over elsewhere and they'll bring you back.

I can see Dakota, Shotzi and Strowman in AEW. I think Shayna is a better fit for Japan, maybe Strowman depending on his attitude.

I see people calling for Shayna to join the Death Riders because of Marina Shafir.

But if they're not gonna keep the group all black dudes, I think she'd be a killer fit for The Hurt Syndicate.

I want Kai to get an AEW paycheck, but she'll be wasted there and end up either not used or in ROH or some shit. She'd be better utilized back in Stardom or the like.

Some of the NXT women that got canned were starting programs in TNA. It'll be interesting to see if TNA just drops it completely or signs them.

Strowman can just stay gone. Fuck that guy.

I was wondering how they are going to handle the AAA and TNA deals.

He a colossal douche with really nothing to offer except god-given size. He's got no real charisma, his in-ring work is meh, it's not like he has any real work ethic, etc.

Yet he's repeatedly talked shit publicly as if he's the hardest working guy in the business.

When lockdowns first happened and indie wrestlers were talking about scrambling to find new wasy to earn money, since literally all their bookings had been pulled, Strowman goes on twitter talking shit about how they have to be willing to actually put work in &"sacrifice", saying how he supposedly slept in his car, as if he spent years paying his dues.

Meanwhile, he does an interview with CVV, talking about how his 5th match EVER was on Raw against the Undertaker.

(Just how many people can say that?)

Then there was the time he went on Twitter talking more shit to smaller wrestlers, calling them "flippy shit" (or someting along those lines), getting into it with Ricochet. It's why they ended up being paired on tv for a while.

The dude has really very little to offer save for his huge size, yet acts like he's one of the best in the business. If he were literally the exact same wrestler & person in every single way, yet was the size of say Jaime Noble or AJ Styles, he'd have barely made it *into* a bingo hall, much less out of one & onto tv.

Even with his size, stature, etc, there's a reason that the only time he was ever given the strap was because Roman pulled out of the first pandemic Mania with like only 2-3 weeks to go.

What’s wrong with Strowman? Is he a douche? I’ve just never heard.
He made some comments about Indy wrestlers who couldn’t get work/paid around the time the Covid lockdowns happened. Basically that they needed to find a new profession.

And then he became an Indy wrestler after getting released.

Apparently he was getting paid a rate FAR above what they were using him for as a monster who enhanced talent. So unless he was gonna take a huge paycut, he was getting cut.
