Re: Road to Reigns-tlemania - Official WWE Thread Part 20

If everybody has some big gimmick then it'll just become a super unrealistic clusterf*ck of personalities

you need people that can be related to, faces and heels

Atm he's relatable

[Onyx]

Not an ott gimmick, but just some sort of personality to stand out.

Right now the only proper character we have is Wyatt anyway imo.

[M99]

Sami Zayn, Finn Balor and Kevin Owens are perfectly fine. They would stand out in the main roster if they have good booking. Zayn is Daniel Bryan 2.0, Balor is going ridiculously over with his body paint and Owens is basically a family man version of Brock Lesnar. Neville and Itami need some serious work on their gimmicks.

[Onyx]

Zayn is passable on the mic just like Bryan, but only problem is Bryan got over based on his character development in team hell no, the yes chant and because he was a pure underdog.

Zayn will be a nobody once he joins the main roster, which is why it's best they work on his character in developmental.

[M99]

How are you so sure he'd be a nobody He got over on NXT because of how ridiculously good he was at connecting with the crowd just like Bryan. Just look at his pre match promo with Neville to see his cahracter development. And he is the biggest underdog in NXT too. And do you expect people from NXT to be instant main eventers? He will have to work his way up the roster, to midcard to main event just like Bryan did.

And another similarity is that Bryan has the Yes Chant, Zayn has the Ole chant. It's exactly what you said about Bryan. Character development, underdog and chant. He is Daniel Bryan 2.0

[Onyx]

Nah, by nobody I just meant he's not going to carry his connection with the NXT crowd to the WWE crowd. He's going have to start from scratch, attempting to get over again with a difference audience. He'll just be the ginger guy who flips around when he debuts.

The 'ole' chants should definitely help. Maybe he can join Los Matadores, since they also have the ole chant.

El Generico and El Torito, match made in heaven ffs.

Ziggler vs Ryder booked for WM.

Rob Van Dam took a shot at the WWE creative team today when asked about a return on Twitter. Below is the exchange between RVD and a fan:

Rob Van Dam        ✔ @TherealRVD

“@jeffhardy21223: @TherealRVD have you ever thought about coming back yo the WWE? #comeback #rvd #youaremissed”Cool! Wait...same writers?

[Onyx]

Both Bryan/Lesnar hitting German suplexes on each other at WM.

[Onyx]

Heath Slater new look.

[Casciavit]

Do any of you find the Reigns-Bryan story interesting?

I don't. Maybe it has to do with the fact those two are my least favorite top stars on the current roster.

[Onyx]

There is said to be discontent on WWE’s main roster right now over how NXT talents are given the chance to go out and put on great matches while most main roster talents are restricted to short nothing matches on TV, especially if they are Divas.

Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter added to the story on his message board:

“So story is accurate but it’s inherent. It was the same thing in the OVW days, well not exactly the same, but similar. I get DMs from people on the main roster always after those specials. It’s a common frustration. The top NXT performers are frustrated they aren’t on the main roster making money. Then they will get more frustrated when they realize their dream. WWE guys are frustrated they aren’t having the matches guys in NXT are when they know if they can perform before 400 fans in longer matches they can tear the house down.”

Does anyone watch Lucha Underground here? The way the backstage segments are shot is really impressive. Just like a TV show.

[Onyx]

WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair is currently scheduled for tonight’s RAW to help hype the Fastlane pay-per-view. The decision to bring Flair in was made this past weekend.

Flair is booked for a segment where he talks with Triple H about Sting. The idea is for Flair to bring up his own history with Sting to advise Triple H not to take Sting lightly.

Hope WWE realise legends lose their draw when they appear 40 times a year, it's beyond stupid it helps nothing.

[Onyx]

There are reports online that WWE’s Instagram page posted a photo of CM Punk this weekend with a teaser saying he quit UFC and could be appearing on Monday’s RAW.

The rumor is that they quickly deleted the photo after posting it. This report is not true as the “screenshot” going around is just a fake that a fan created in Photoshop.

[Onyx]

It's a good thing this feud is for the US title and not the WWEWHC.

[Rebaño Sagrado]

Cena is actually fighting for the title ?

[Onyx]

Cody heel turn.
