With the Rock, Vince did try to push the Rock to the moon when he first came in. He believed because the Rock was a 3rd generation, people will instantly like him and people booed him out of the building. Vince wasn't afraid to turn him heel, he went heel and being with the Nation, the more the Rock talk, the more the people like him. Rock had personality and he was good on the mic.

With Reigns, he doesn't seem to have that much of personality. On top of that, he kept the same shield gimmick, where Ambros became the Lunatic Fringe and even change his outfit. Rollins, same thing, he change his outfit and became the Artitec. Roman basically kept the same gimmick. But the biggest problem was like 5 years ago, he was still green, and Vince wanted him to be the face of the company and he decide to put him over Daniel Bryan at the Royal Rumble. Daniel Bryan was one of the biggest stars at the time, and it basically destroyed Roman.

For 5 years now, they been trying to repair the damaged and made it worse. Most if it isn't Roman's fault, but because Vince is out of touch and not listen to the fans, Roman gets the backlash of it all. Also calling him the Big Dog but trying to make him the under dog doesn't help plus stealing Undertaker's gimmick by calling the ring his yard doesn't help neither.

Okay, who predicted that result at Crown Jewels?
And New Day needs to go! They are an embarrassment to clowns and are a tired and worn-out gimmick. They claim to be Five-Time Tag-Team Champs, butt, which member of the trio was champ five times?

Kofi Kingston has been an 8 time tag champ. New Day has been RAW champs twice and Smackdown 3 times so there's your 5.

There are three members of New Day, and only two can be Tag Champs at a time...

Freebird rule, my friend. Demolition used it as well which is why Brian Adams(Crush) is listed as a WWF tag champ even though it was actually Ax & Smash that won it.

Understand that the Rowdy vs Kitten match has already happened (we are a week behind, which is a lot better than 6+ months, although that means we don't get the PPV's on free-to-air anymore ), butt could totally see how it could have gone down, making way for future storylines: Ronda and Nat are 'wrestling' their little hearts out, when those flappers from Smackdown (The Queen and The Man {sounds like a crossdressing mixed-tagteam to me }) come running out thinking they could get a cheap shot at Ronda with assistance from Nat, only for Nat to side with her best friend and they curbstomp the intruders, which calls for a disqualification (and saving Ronda from having to beat up her friend, and vice versa) and leads in to next week (this week?) with a tag-team cross-show rivalry

Do they even have a female tag-team championship?

According to Vince Clause, the female tag-team champions are coming out in 2019.

I'd have to wonder if that's going to have to work as one tag championship for both "brands" or not. The women's roster has expanded over the years, but I'm not sure they have enough to have a tag team championship for Raw and another for Smackdown.

A cross-brand female tag-team would be huge!
They did have 8 ready to beat up Rowdy, and that was even all the females from RAW, would say there was about double that number in both brands (at least between 20 and 30 total)

The WWE is completely unwatchable right now.

What have they done this time? Other than simply handy that Russian, sorry, Bulgarian twit the US Title just because it was his birthday?

Mean Gene passed away.

Sad news

really sad news

Understand that it's all scripted (including the actual matches), butt do they really believe the viewers are such idiots?
Last week (or two weeks), when Stroman was destroying Vinnie's limo to get at Corbin, Vinnie was right there! How could he not see Corbin get out and run away? Are they planning to Jannetty him by firing him? Or setting him up for something bigger? (how many title shots has he had taken away from him at the last moment?)

Speaking of Title Shots, didn't the McCrew say 2019 was going to be the Year of the New? New Stars, New Opportunity's? And yet, out of the four contenders for Stroman's spot, they hand it to the one guy who already held that title! In fact, he was the first one to hold it

When are they going to do something about those interfering 'managers'? Week after week, Lashley's lackey has been interfering and causing performers to lose, same with that Vega chick
What they should do, is have those two perform in a mixed-singles match with the loser permanently deported! Make Wrestling Great Again!

Build a wall around WWE headquarters and mention one of the concrete pillars is the one Paul Bearer is in.

That'll work

September 10: 'Hobbs & Shaw' (spinoff of Fast and Furious starring The Rock) starts filming.

October 19: Roman Reigns starts treatment for leukemia.

January 25: Confirmation Reigns has a major role in the movie.

If 'The Mange' has nothing to prove, why does she keep showing up where she doesn't belong trying to prove how manly she is?

Probably the only one, butt still waiting for Minnie Mac to slam that miserable piece of trash in the bin!

The match between Rollins and Ambrose was cereally bad acting, butt at least it wasn't as bad as the referee handing RTruth the belt, TWICE!! with fast counts

Speaking of "Her Mangesty", if she wasn't part of the 30-Woman Royal Crumble, how did she end up winning it?
