According to the dirtsheets, WWE considering dropping the BOinspirational gimmick in favor of something new for Bo Dallas.

According to Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Live (h/t All Wrestling News), WWE has plans to repackage Bo Dallas. They will be giving him a new gimmick going forward.

I've been listening to Kevin Sullivan's podcast about booking Nitro with MSL on MLW Radio. Bischoff saying that Hogan never used his creative control is either a lie or simply referencing him actually officially overriding something through proper channels, because Sullivan makes it sound like so much in WCW was Hogan's idea.

I've not listened to that one, but I did watch the WCW Timeline with Sullivan. The way he makes it sound there is that he didn't often have to specifically have to pull the creative control card, but they went along with Hogans ideas anyway to keep them happy.

I forgot how to make it start from a particular point, so starting at .38 is what I hear in my head seeing this, and Sting going "SEE, BATSY, I THINK OF EVERYTHING! HAHAHAHAHAH!"

Seth Rollins is therefore on 100 points. Sting has won World Titles, but not in the WWE, so let's include the International World Title and call him a 9-time champ and give him 75% of those 900 points, bringing him to 675. Let's say that a win is worth 10% of what your opponent is worth. If Sting beats Triple H at WrestleMania, his score jumps to 805 points. It's arguable that you could even increase this because of WrestleMania season, but let's call it all even. Triple H beating Sting increases his worth to 1368 points. Now, let's say that Seth Rollins beats Sting AND Triple H in the scenario that we actually have in real-life. He beats Sting for 68 points and he beats Triple H for 137. That's a total of 205 points. But if he beats Sting AND Triple H after Sting beats Triple H? That's 81 points from Sting and 130 from Triple H. That's 211 points -- a whole six points difference. But there you go -- Sting beating Triple H is far more important to increasing Sting's stock than increasing Triple H's.

Was this meant to be comedy?

You brought up the whole thing about "some people dont like money". As I said, the people who say that are the guys who write newsletters and the people who read them. Obviously WWE is a tad more invested in profits than you or I are. Since Vince built his company to be worth well over a billion dollars, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on all booking calls. Doesnt mean he's right 100% of the time, just means he's better than anyone else, so I'll trust him.

For me it comes to down to this - which feud do I think can draw more money in the long term for WWE A) Rollins vs HHH or B) Rollins vs Sting. The answer to me, and really should be to anyone who has watched wrestling is the HHH vs Rollins is the bigger money match. If thats the case, then you dont have your two money players lose to B level guys. You can use the B level guys for B level PPVs and to help enhance the A level guys. But you dont sacrifice any of the A level players to make the B level guys look good. Unless you think you can elevate said B player to A, but in this case, Sting is what he is. He's not moving up or down the card.

The only way your argument holds water is if you think Sting should go over Seth, and then go on a run with the title. To do what you talked about - maximize Sting DVD sales, tshirts, those dumb masks, bring back the now 68 year old dudes who used to watch WCW back in the early 90s. But I think we both know it would be absurd to bastardize the title by putting it on Sting at this point. So were back to sacrificing the bigger money program to sell more wolf tickets with Sting as a credible title challenger.

This is an argument from authority. It's cute, but it's not a logical way to think. After all, you can point to many silly business ventures the WWE has been involved in over the years. Now, Vince McMahon is objectively a success story. The idea of my posts wasn't to flame him. But there has been a lot of money left on the table when it comes to certain things in the WWE's history -- and certain talent has been chased off and passed on for the sake of company ego. Can you really debate this?

And all you need to do is look at the growth NXT is experiencing, and the general stir about that product to see that the creative demand might not always be for the WWE's main product.

He's not moving up or down the card.

Actually, I disagree. Triple H vs. Rollins doesn't have a dynamic I particularly enjoy. I'd rather see Triple H vs. Dean Ambrose. The personalities between Triple H and Rollins have been presented as too similar, and there isn't a common goal for them to fight for with Triple H being basically retired. Sting at least represents an ideological rebuttal to the choices Rollins has made to be on top.

There are many ways to get to your desired destination, and I actually see what you are trying to get around to. The only thing is that they are promoting Rollins vs. Sting. With Sting's record being 0-1, this is not only heatless, but it doesn't make sense.

And we come back to this "Sting is a B-level guy" bullshit. If he's a B-level guy, don't bring him in. The reason you brought him in was because he's worth some return. You said it yourself -- he's there to get people to tune into the Network. Great job making it absolutely pointless by making one of the biggest A-players in history a "B-level guy." Against Seth Rollins. Who has also been presented as B-level guy. And is presented as a B-level guy at the moment. Don't believe me? We've heard him called a "joke" and told he's not on Triple H's level. By faces. By heels. This isn't an underdog story.

Also, Triple H vs. Seth Rollins is not going to be based on rankings. Triple H is not an active full-time wrestler. It's going to be based on heat if it's going to work. The idea of Triple H winning the Royal Rumble and challenging Seth Rollins for the title at WrestleMania doesn't seem like an appealing one -- but that's just this amateur's opinion, right?

If Sting beat Triple H, then it gives Triple H a reason to have a personal gripe with Rollins and turn on him. It also means that you can get more interest out of Sting matches in the future. If Sting loses to Rollins cleanly (as he should at this point), what can you mine out of this. You have shut down a well in order to build a mound of dirt. Congratulations.

Some people don't like money.

What? No. This just... no.

Building challengers for titles is apparently a shitty idea? You just shot yourself in the foot to prove you have a gun. I'm also going to again assert that Rollins vs. Triple H -- Battle of the Carpenters -- might not actually be the huge money draw your argument depends on it being.

Mr. Nerfect 09-08-2015 07:52 PM

AND, if it were a draw, it still doesn't mean that having your incoming babyface fucking job in a nonsensical match at WrestleMania to your semi-retired heel is a great fucking idea.

If you didn't want your semi-retired heel to job? Don't book the fucking match! Can't believe how fucking dumb this shit is getting. I'm done with this. Noider out.

Bryan Alvarez noted of F4Wonline.com noted this week that Bo Dallas is in line for a new gimmick. No other details are available yet but Bo could be receiving a character change soon. No word yet if this is referring to the slight changes we saw to Bo's character on last Thursday's WWE SmackDown. After debuting a new finisher and attacking R-Truth following their match, Bo cut a promo and said he's tried to help inspire people for so long but they've turned him into a joke. He thought what he did to Truth was "really funny" and said he Bo-lieves he will be a lot more "humorous" in the future.

F4Wonline.com notes that there was a negative internal WWE reaction to a wrestler that asked Twitter followers for a link to an illegal stream of Saturday's UFC pay-per-view. This was looked down upon not because it's UFC, but because WWE is in the same business and they feel talents should be smart enough not to publicly ask for an illegal stream, which also hurts WWE's business. For what it's worth, it was noted that a personal message asking someone for an illegal stream wouldn't hurt anyone but asking for everyone to see on social media is very different. In an update, apparently the wrestlers seen doing this were from the indies and one works for Lucha Underground but they were not named. It was noted to Bryan Alvarez by a WWE source that the wrestlers likely "lost any chance" to ever be noticed by WWE.
Quote:

Sting appeared on Jim Ross’ podcast The Ross Report recently to talk about his career winding down.

During the conversation Jim Ross said that there was a very short list of names that he’d want to come back to call their last match. He told Sting that his name was on the list. Sting let him know that he felt the same way.

“The feeling is mutual,” Sting said. “If I could have anyone on the face of this Earth to call my last match, it would be Jim Ross. If I get my way, if I get what I want, that’s what’s going to happen.”

Ross then joked that he was available and works cheap.

“You can’t say ‘the young kid from Venice Beach’ anymore, though. You’ll have to be more creative,” Sting joked.

Over the course of her 11-year career, Kana has become one of the most exciting women ever to compete in Japan. She has appeared in many organizations throughout the country and has held multiple championships. Last month, Kana made a surprise appearance at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn, sitting in the audience ringside next to WWE Hall of Famer “Nature Boy” Ric Flair®.

“We are very excited to have Kana join the NXT roster,” said Paul Levesque, WWE Executive Vice President of Talent, Creative and Live Events. “Her exciting in-ring style will make an immediate impact on the already impressive NXT women’s division.”

TMZ.com reports that WWE Divas Paige and Alicia Fox were ejected from Baltimore’s Supano’s Prime Steakhouse on Sunday evening after a brawl broke out between the Divas and a regular patron.

A waiter at Supano’s told TMZ that the Divas were grabbing a drink late Sunday night when a regular customer came in and began harassing them by taking pictures and videos. Paige and Alicia reportedly confronted her before “all hell broke lose” and drinks were thrown by both sides.

Employees jumped in and stopped the fight and they were all forced to leave the venue
Quote:

Most of the questions at the Q&A were standard, like Why did you start wrestling? Who did you look up to as a kid? etc, but here's some different ones. They didn';t let you take videos.

She wants to get put through a table before she retires. ... She sounded really enthusiastic about this, so I hope it happens.
She prefers playing a heel over a face, because "being the bad guy is so much more fun."
If there's a divas tag division, she wants to tag with Bayley, Emma, Sasha, or AJ as partners.
She put over Sasha as the person she thinks will stand out the most in the Divas Revolution.
Working with AJ was really fun. They're still good friends and text.
She really loved working with Summer Rae in NXT; "she's a perfect bitchy heel." Her feud with Summer there is one of her favorites.
She told a story recalling the night she wrestled in a rosebud costume on RAW. "It was live. I had to run down the hallway in that towel, totally naked underneath, then change into the costume, and Vince was yelling at the producers and cameramen like, 'If that towel falls down, you're all fired!'"
She owns her own action figure. She still thinks it's surreal that she has merch.
She thinks Emma is super underrated, says she's much better than "that stupid dancing gimmick," and wants people to trend #GiveEmmaAChance.
Tough Enough was fun, she looks forward to seeing Sara Lee in a year or so. She doesn't know what the current plans are for the show going forward ... She's glad Josh won.
Advice for becoming a wrestler: save your money, work hard, be patient, humble, and hungry.
The host for her Q&A let us know that the VIP tickets for Paige sold the most for the celebrities at the event, so we cheered. Paige outdraws Reigns? lol

Edit: I remembered a couple other questions.A fan said they should do an all-diva Pay-per-view, and she said that was a great idea, and the girls would love to do it. Also, she thinks Charlotte will beat Nikki at Night of Champs ...

Just got back from Wizard World and I also attended the Q&A on a whim. Mostly just wanted to sit down for a while, but I like Paige so it was a plus. Funniest/worst part to me was how she mentioned all the creeper fans she gets commenting on her social media and how they act around her in public. VERY next question this poor bastard goes up and says "Hi, Paige. Did you like the rose I gave you?" ...cringe-worthy.

If she and Rusev are still together offscreen, they live in Nashville. It's also worth noting that we rarely, if ever, hear about Lana being at a NXT live event these days.

Former WWE (WWF back in his day) broadcaster Todd Pettengill sat down for an interview with James Delow for Delow’s YouTube channel, and it’s an excellent listen if you were a mid-’90s WWF fan or just want to hear some great wrestling stories.

“First, I met with Linda McMahon, and she was doing the business day-to-day. I had a nice meeting with Linda, and she said, well, Vince would like to see you in one of the studios. So, I went into the studio and here’s Vince, you know, not quite as big as he is now, but still a big intimidating figure, and he threw me a bottle of water and he said: ‘Sell it to me.’

So, I did. I mean, I can talk about anything. I said, ‘This is the most unbelievable water. It’s fresh, it will soothe you, you can pour it on your feet if you’re in the desert. Now, if you’re in the desert, you might want to read it.’ So, I went through this whole thing and it’s crazy, and he goes, ‘That’s unbelievable! Let’s try this,’ and that’s how it started.”

“During the interview process, I thought Vince had left the building, so I went to use the bathroom… I turned my mic off, I went into the bathroom and I was going to the bathroom, and there was a fellow in one of the stalls, who had clearly been doing some work, and it was not a pleasant odor. So I, being me, said, ‘Hey, how about a courtesy flush!’ and I hear this laugh… and it was Vince.

So I said, ‘Well, I didn’t get this job,’ and he said, ‘That’s hysterical! Now I’ve got to hire you!'”
Wacky Vince story from back in the day.

The WWE should bring back The Hardys, but then have them lose to The New Age Outlaws. But then they should get a title shot against The New Day, which they should also lose. But the money is in The New Age Outlaws vs. The New Day anyway, because The New Day won't act like faces until The New Age Outlaws punk them out.

What do we do with The Hardys after that? Oh, fuck!

I used to love Matt Hardy. I hope he isn't actually insane. With the dude being 40 now, maybe he should think about tweaking his look. A serious Hardy could still be an asset to a company somewhere.

Not at 40. His time is up. He could still be a viable asset but changing his character won't do much for him now, I think.

Bobholly138 09-09-2015 06:11 AM

Ok between Friday and Saturday.

Hit 2 shows. One in Arlington TX,VIP Wrestling. Then we drove all night to Lula MS for what was pretty much a Memphis legends plus whoever the fuck is young and working Memphis now show. Had to either or help out on commentary for every match.

Main event of Memphis show was Lawler/Superstar Bill Dundeee vs Brody and COdy Hawk,Rage krew maybe fuck if I know. After Lawler and Dundee win,dude in dress and bad wig hits ring. Nails Dundee with a bottle. Then retreats to the stage with Rage KRew. Whips off wig it is Tracy SMothers in drag.

Heels leave stage. Dundee,JImmy Valiant who was ringside enforcer for the match head to the back
Lawler is still in the ring. He goes to get out and gets mobbed. Cause even though this shit was at a huge casino and had 500+ fans there they had 2 security guys at best.

This wall of text was just put here to give context to the below pic.

Main event of Memphis show was Lawler/Superstar Bill Dundeee vs Brody and COdy Hawk,Rage krew maybe fuck if I know. After Lawler and Dundee win,dude in dress and bad wig hits ring. Nails Dundee with a bottle. Then retreats to the stage with Rage KRew. Whips off wig it is Tracy SMothers in drag.

Heels leave stage. Dundee,JImmy Valiant who was ringside enforcer for the match head to the back
Lawler is still in the ring. He goes to get out and gets mobbed. Cause even though this shit was at a huge casino and had 500+ fans there they had 2 security guys at best.

This wall of text was just put here to give context to the below pic.

Quote:

Developmental talent Jasmin Areebi (Nhooph Al-Areebi), who has worked NXT live events, has supposedly posted messages on Twitter which include the n-word and other potentially racist comments. If these screengrabs are authentic, then she's most likely going to be released. It appears she has suddenly completely deleted her Twitter account. The supposed posts were made in 2012 and 2013. The person who found the postings and uploaded screenshots of them has since made his Twitter account private.

Some other Noid Points:

* Love Jason Jordan & Chad Gable. Both have got star potential. Can't see them keeping their heat for too long -- they gonna get cheered hard. That being said, I can't see them as a pure-face tag team. I think they need a pure face team and a dirty, rotten heel team to play off in the future. Eg. A three-way feud with Enzo/Cass and Blake/Murphy, etc.

* I LOVE Dash & Dawson. I hate their names, honestly, but I love their tag style. They just need a Jim Cornette-esque manager to accompany them to ringside and a pure face team to play their antithesis. Would actually like to see them against The Lucha Dragons.

* I like something about Solomon Crowe, but I also understand the complaints. I feel like he's out of focus though. Put him in a feud with Rhyno and see if he can make people care.

Damian Rey 09-09-2015 08:40 PM

Not a huge fan of Crowe, too small to make me care about him.....If you are well under 6-foot, you have to either be a technical wizard (see: Daniel Bryan) or a high-flying luchador (see: Neville) and unless he goes with a "insane little bastard, Napoleon Complex" heel gimmick, he's not going anywhere.....

He should probably be given a lot of Kevin Sullivan tapes to watch.

Damian Rey 09-09-2015 09:05 PM

I think being a no name enhancement talent goes a long way imo. Gets him tons of ring time while learning and developing without having to worry about getting over or cutting promos. Good step one.

I was stunned to read Enzo has literally no experience outside of NXT. Just a natural promo I guess.

Vince is still a marketing genius and he's good at keeping the hype machine going. But booking-wise... I mean... come on. No one over the age of 10 who hasn't already been drawn in to just love pro wrestling regardless is tuning in for the compelling television that's being written.

Thanks to the Internet, nerd culture, and transcendent performers like Brock Lesnar and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, WWE and professional wrestling as a whole are enjoying a high point of mainstream acceptance and popularity...

“There’s no doubt that we’re in a moment where wrestling is getting increased attention from mainstream outlets,” said Sports Illustrated media columnist Richard Deitsch when I emailed him this week. “I see it more as mainstream acceptance than a surge of popularity. The real reason behind ESPN covering the WWE is that it’s good for ESPN’s business. The WWE has a huge fan base of 12-50 year-olds and particularly … men who have discretionary income. ESPN wants those eyeballs the same way they want Fantasy football-playing eyeballs. The network already has gone down the rubicon when it comes to having actors and singers on its shows. Bringing in WWE people is no different" ...

In the (real) sports world, great games are celebrated with lines like, “It couldn’t have been better if it had been scripted.” Well, pro wrestling specializes in endings that are too good to be true, and the mythmaking style from WWE promo packages has influenced the way the NFL, UFC, and almost every other professional sport promotes its talent. Which is all to say that big-time competitive sports have caught up with “sports entertainment.” Fifty years ago, Muhammad Ali modeled his public persona on Gorgeous George and became one of the most iconic athletes in history. Now executives across various sports and industries want to be Vince McMahon ...

Just as Lesnar’s foray into the UFC octagon helped the perception of the physical side of wrestling, so did Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s career in Hollywood help to buoy the acting side of WWE. It’s easy to watch pro wrestling and see only hammy machismo and overcooked emoting, but that underestimates the performers. What wrestlers do isn’t normal TV acting but rather a throwback to classical theater, when performers wore giant wooden masks to convey emotion to the back row — with booming WHOOOs and swooping roundhouse punches in place of the masks ...

If the perception of wrestling is changing, it’s largely thanks to people like them. “I think that’s due to the increasing number of bloggers, podcasters and people in the sports media business who are so public about their fandom,” said Deitsch. “Whatever stereotypes about who is a pro wrestling fan I think have been blown up. There is no archetype.”

There’s no more ignoring the talents of the wrestlers. There’s no more stigma about nerdiness in general or wrestling in particular. There’s no question about whether or not pro wrestling is fake. Just like Jack Pfefer said, it’s a fake diamond. And as long as you know the deal, there’s no shame in selling — or buying — a fake diamond.

If you’re listening, Bubba, come here to Vegas and I’ll tell it to your frickin face. You are a spoiled brat. If you don’t get your way, you hurt people, and you do it on purpose.

He ripped my hamstring three times in Chicago. I told him I tore, and he kept going. He suplexed me, and tore it again. And when he pinned me, he threw my legs over my head, and put his legs on the second turnbuckle, and tore it again.

Yes, Devon is OK. Bubba, is a brat. You’re a spoiled, little baby. And I knew that when we went to Italy. Charlie and I had the tag team belts, and Bubba is there, Devon, we’re gonna wrestle in Italy. And out of respect, when they put the match up, I said, ‘OK. What would you like to do, Bubba?’ You know, cuz he’s been in the business longer than I have, so has Devon, and Charlie and I were giving them respect, ‘What would you like to do?’

Bubba popped off, ‘I’m tired of making the matches! You guys are the champions! Why don’t you make up the match!’ He was throwing a fit, in Italy! I said, what the hell? Like we win these titles; they give them to us! You want to win a title, go win Gladiators, you fat pig. That’s what I’m thinking. He [cried] and moaned. I looked at Dean Malenko and said, ‘Hey. Here.’ Threw him the belt and said, ‘Bubba wants the belt, give it to him. I’m not going out.’ ‘What’ [said Malenko]? I said, ‘I’m not going out. That’s it. Forget it. I don’t want the titles!’ And I left.

25-30 minutes later, Dean came up, that fat, little spoiled brat apologized, and we went out and had a match. Yep, Bubba’s famous for that. I’ll tell it to his face, and I live is Las Vegas, Bubba. Come over here, and I will tell ya.
Rico confirming the bad stuff about Bubba Ray Dudley from a recent interview Renee Dupree had about his time in the WWE.

Quote:

Did The Dudley Boyz take liberties with him?:

"Does a bear sh*t in the woods? Oh my God. I've had so many concussions from Bubba Ray Dudley it's not even funny. You know Chris Nowinski had to retire because of Bubba Ray giving him concussions right? Devon, it's universal everyone likes Devon because he's a pro, but Bubba can be difficult to work with."

The reason The Dudleyz left WWE in 2005:

"One time in the ring, Sly screwed up a spot and then Bubba punched him in the face and bloodied his nose and Sly asked him why backstage and Bubba went off and punched him in the face again. Sylvan was very good friends with Pat Patterson and they weren't around shortly thereafter.
Portion of the interview with Renee Dupree. Also revealed him and Sylvan Grenier rarely got along together to the point both still despise each other and have no desire to ever mend things.

Incredibly and oddly specific, I know. But it was all Rip. Horner did the Sunset Flip, Rogers grabs the second rope. He loses his balance, and the camera is in perfect position to show the rope slip out of his grasp before going down in defeat.

But now, according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, WWE management is trying to squash that momentum because they still believe that he doesn’t have the potential to be a top guy.

“Every week, [Cesaro] is less and less over. So, it’s like they’re planning it this way. And that’s the thing that boggles my mind, it’s like, ‘this guy is starting to get over,’ and they’re like ‘well, we don’t want him over, so we’ll fix that.’ It’s like they’re back there going, ‘we got this one under control.’ It’s not really conducive to a good environment when you’re trying to make sure that guys don’t get over. The goal should be that guys get over, as opposed to not getting guys over because they’re not in WWE’s plans.”

You could argue a discussion between the two teams there not including a mention of the Hardys would feel awkward, but it’s not like that has stopped WWE in the past. Another sign is WWE asking fans to tweet if they are interested in seeing Jeff Hardy back and one person within the company noted to us there are a lot of mentions of him going around right now.

Former TNA star Gunner was involved in a fan incident at a PWX indie event on September 6th in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that a Carolina indie fan named Adrian Rohr, who attends many events, had apparently written negative things on social media about Gunner and Gunner wasn't happy about them. Fans were also chanting "Dixie's reject" at Gunner, reportedly leading to him kicking Rohr in the chest, in front of his young son. PWX has no barriers at ringside.

Most of the wrestlers reportedly took Gunner's side, which they will often do even if the other wrestler is wrong, but others who were working the event noted to The Observer that the assault was unprovoked. Rohr is said to be a very respectful fan, "who is not a nut in any way."

Gunner reportedly wrote the following online after the match but apparently it's been deleted:

"And for the record, don't be an idiot fan and step up to my ring. You will get kicked."

According to several we spoke with, NXT talents were told that the company could not currently provide bonuses based on live gates because NXT is run at a loss in order to improve the company's long-term future with talent and Coach salaries as well as the cost of running and operating the Performance Center having to be taken into account.

It should be noted that unlike main roster talents, WWE covers the hotel and rental car costs for NXT talents on the road, unlike Raw and Smackdown where only flights are covered by the company. Un unlike previous developmental generations, NXT talents are being marketed with action figures, t-shirts and videogame appearances and do make money from those revenue streams as well.

Still, there's been some grumbling among talents about that decision since they are looking at a big December tour in major venues in the UK with a nice advance, a recent sellout of 15,000+ seats in Brooklyn, NY and NXT has been a cornerstone in promoting the WWE Network.

The vote was tied at two, and Triple H cast the deciding ballot. He gave me my chance. I appreciated that he was willing to risk signing me even though I’m not the typical WWE wrestler. Since I started working with him, we’ve become a lot closer. He helps me as much as he can for shows – like he does with everyone – but we both have young kids at home and we talk about a lot of other things that have nothing to do with wrestling. The fact that he’s in my corner is what counts. I watched him fight when I was younger. I went to the Bell Centre to see him live. He’s the one who motivated me.

But, over the last couple of months, after consistently having the best match on every show he’s been on, Cesaro began to gain a good bit of momentum, and connect with the audience.

But now, according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, WWE management is trying to squash that momentum because they still believe that he doesn’t have the potential to be a top guy.

“Every week, [Cesaro] is less and less over. So, it’s like they’re planning it this way. And that’s the thing that boggles my mind, it’s like, ‘this guy is starting to get over,’ and they’re like ‘well, we don’t want him over, so we’ll fix that.’ It’s like they’re back there going, ‘we got this one under control.’ It’s not really conducive to a good environment when you’re trying to make sure that guys don’t get over. The goal should be that guys get over, as opposed to not getting guys over because they’re not in WWE’s plans.”
Vince is a stupid fuck.

There has been some speculation on which Seth Rollins' match at Night of Champions will actually main event the show. While most would figure that the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match against Sting would end the show, that doesn't appear the be the case according to the Wrestling Observer.

They speculate that Rollins' match against John Cena will most likely close the show.
Can't have your main title that a legend is going for the 1st time going on after a stupid mid card belt and a stale fucker!

WWE has a really bad habit of that. The article itself even bashes the WWE saying this is a big reason why they lack big stars outside of Cena.

His "push" basically stalled once Cena came right back from his nose injury. Knowing the WWE, they probably were never serious with giving him an actual push nor didn't think he'd be that over with the crowd.

Went from someone who looked like he was breaking into top star status to someone being used just to rebuild Owens' damaged star status within a matter of weeks.

Would rather they just have fought for 30 minutes.... don't like how in Iron Man/Woman matches they get "so many pinfalls".... things/situations that lead to pinfalls would not have lead to pinfalls if in a 1 fall match.... makes it more "anti-climactic"....
