The list of people they've used to give Reigns the rub and it still not working, the likes of Cena, Rock, HHH, Daniel Bryan, AJ Styles, Undertaker and even Vince himself, they even formed a stable for him to go against and it still didn't work in the League of Nations.
The thing with Reigns is he's been pushed like this for 4 years, 4 years of cramming him down peoples throats and the fans aren't having it because most of them saw 10 years of Cena crammed down their throats and they've had enough, you can't force fans to like a wrestler it has to happen naturally. there is also the issue in that Reigns just isn't at all likeable for a babyface, if he was a heel he'd be fine, compared to Rollins and Ambrose who both are relatable and have likeable qualities to fans but Reigns just seems to act like a complete douche. |

Some reasons I don't like Reigns...
A) I felt he was given the over Shield gimmick all to himself. Gives off an entitled smugness. B) He has a doom move set that is stale and hasn't changed up shit other than some gear logo colors. C) His promo delivery of scripts are terrible. D) I get the vibe he already thinks he's great and to make it worse veterans are probably telling him that. |

Sucks that it's gonna be Brock and Roman pretty much squashing everyone until Mania, but if the fans let this happen a few years ago instead of forcing the Seth cash in they wouldn't be so hell bent on forcing this to happen so much now

Hey guys. I managed to see the last half of Raw this week and most of Smackdown so I figured I'd comment.
I loved the part at the end of Raw where Neville came in and destroyed Enzo. Also enjoyed the video of Braun and then the rest of the Cruiserweights fucking him up. At least they realize Enzo is hated and are turning him heel. If only they would do that with Reigns. I also liked the stuff with the Miztourage, which is clearly leading to a Shield reunion. And Aiden English singing songs for Rusev. But other than that, I see why I'm not really watching much anymore. Most of my favorite guys seem to get very little if any screen time anymore and I couldn't care less about the matches and storylines they've got going. Still haven't seen either of the last 2 PPVs. Oh well. Maybe 3MB will reunite soon? |

It's there fault we're all feeling like skipping this. Five hours of not much going on to keep the audiences attention speaks for itself. They hotshot two big matches on a B PPV and have no interesting follow up whatsoever. Both matches were underwhelming so maybe that was a good thing they got them out the way but heck for Mania they better be clearing Bryan, prepping Angle, begging Austin or HBK, feels like the only way that show is gonna be saved at this rate. I can see Rock teaming with Rousey or in her corner being the big casual attraction at Mania. They might be enough but it doesn't sound THAT exciting, depends on the build I suppose.

I'd beg for the Rock to come back and face Brock because with the way Brock is booked no one is really believable beating him right now outside of Roman and everyone hates him. Then have Rock lose it so someone like Braun and just go from there

Says something about the current product when RAW and SD air this week and not one person comments here (pro or con).

That finish to Catwoman vs Supergirl was lame. Natty got a DQ even though Flair was hobbling around and even just did a moonsault potentially injuring herself further. It made no f'n sense.
They shoved Tye and his 4/10 hair into the match to take the pin from Baroness and his 3/10 hair. I swear it seems like they do title swaps every PPV just to make the show seem more important. It ain't doing shit for me and then there's Jinder who is shit. I gave the guy a chance for a long while now but I have reached the point where I want SuperCena to bury him. Sucks watching Nakamura fail and have shitty matches. He's proven elsewhere he is so much better, it's frustrating viewing. Is it me or is Bobby Roode just a crappy cheap combination of Rick Rude and Ric Flair... and what is up with Ziggler, I wish he'd go away and refresh or something. When I was watching it I thought they should switch gimmicks and it'd probably be better. Roode is way more better at being serious and Dolph seems like he could pull off over the top flashy. Orton can't even put over Rusev... that finish if he got the accolade locked in would have been pretty cool. Put the f'n new guys over, suppose to be tradition but seems nobody does it until they are about to retire or the new guy has become worthless through bad booking so it does nothing for them. The HIAC matches were pretty good. I was sort of expecting Owens to fly off the top as I thought he was a bit of a daredevil but didn't happen. Shane basically repeating what he did with Undertaker was not impactful. First cell fall I felt like, meh, seen it. |

Jinder just sucks. When guys like AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura (two of the best workers on the roster) can't carry him to a (or an at least) decent match, he just sucks. His promos are boring, he's not impressive at all, and his reign as champion makes me yearn for the days of Khali's reign.

They ruined Rusev, Strowman, and Bray Wyatt. Three great monster heels that get fed to faces with egos so they won't put them over.
