Ambrose is a very charismatic guy, but his persona is very unoriginal. Reigns is a badass you want to be, but he is not charismatic.

True.
The crazy guy wrestler trope is older than time itself.

Reigns is a badass you want to be, but he is not charismatic.

To me it goes:

Ambrose < Reigns < Rollins

They're all more than competent wrestlers but they are all missing something (except Seth, Seth's perfect).

Now that I have your attention, I want to ask you guys something.
What do you think of Roman Reigns as the champ? I didnt like him at first, but I think he started to improve.

I never liked Roman Reigns. The more they shove him down our throats, the more my dislike intensifies.

At least until Brock Lesnar and/or John Cena returns.

I enjoy Brock Lesnar wrestling and Paul Heyman speaking for him.

John Cena is terrible and way overrated. He will be back soon to bury everybody he can.

The only thing I like about Ambrose is his vareity of face expressions, I find them hilarious. If he doesnt turn heel in 2016, he is going to live in Seth and Romans shadow forever.

John Cena is also improving, he was in the midcard for the most of 2015, he put many wrestlers over while US champion (Sami Zayn, Alberto Del Rio), but he also buried Rusev.

Lesnar needs to fully turn heel again, I dont really like him as a tweener.

At least, Big Show's KO punch makes sense. He is a giant who battles boxers. I will give him a pass, however no other wrestler should have a punch as a finisher.

Especially, naming it after a comic book hero. I wonder how much they have to pay every time they say " Superman" ?

Did you see Big Show vs. Floyd Money Mayweather? Now that was an unrealistic match.

Back in the days of WCW, there was Big Swell who's finisher was the Heart Punch. A much better name, but still a lame move.

I agree, Roman Reigns is better off beng quiet.

RAW was very disappointing last night. Roman Reigns was going to get arrested, but Vince ended up getting arrested. Stephanie did nothing to punish Reigns. However, next week Reigns vs. Sheamus for the championship and Vinnie Mac will be the referee.

Not really. His thing isn't really a superman punch, he's just jumping in the air and smacking someone. It looks similar, but it doesn't serve the same purpose, as in feigning a kick but actually going for the punch. You could say he's just crap at making it look like he's doing the feint, but the fact that he does the whole taunt thing beforehand would undermine it anyway.

I've never been so happy to see Cena return.

John Cena did a decent job making Alberto look good. The League of Nations is one of the better ideas of 2015.

No Smackdown or TNA this week. Will have to wait until the first RAW of 2016.

WWE has officially ruined the Royal Rumble. Roman Reigns will be number one and must win, or he will lose his title. There is a very high chance that he will win it. You can feel free to skip it this year.

I'm not gonna call anything just yet. I mean for the Royal Rumble poster this year, John Cena is on it. The last time the belt was on the line in a Royal Rumble match I believe was when Ric Flair won the Royal Rumble. So this is gonna be interesting. At the same time though it does ruin the match though. Because the Royal Rumble winner is given a title shot at WrestleMania so it fucks that up.

Wonderful, more people for Cena and Reigns to bury. Roman Reigns has to beat everybody so the fans like him. Oh wait, everybody hates him because he has no mic skills, lame moves, and only got his job since he is related to the Rock.

The Royal Rumble IS and always has been about setting up Wrestlemania. Keeping that in mind, and knowing they have the 'guaranteed rematch' gimmick if Reigns loses, there's a good chance that reigns will lose the belt, setting up a rematch going in to Mania.

I'm predicting Vince puts reigns in the #1 slot and he goes on to the end. HHH will probably be involved, and very likely be the reason Reigns gets eliminated. Brock Lesnar is coming back, so he could well take the belt back. You gotta imagine Vince wants to redo Reigns v Lesnar the way he imagined it, with Reigns actually being over with the fans this time. If reigns starts at #1 and ALMOST wins the whole thing, he can lose while still looking super strong. Especially if he only loses due to authority interference.

Going with that plan also logically ties in how Rock will be involved in Mania. Roman's story has been completely about being set back over and over, and only through his 'family' has he been able to really pull himself to the top. If Roman loses at the Rumble, the initial rematch would happen at Fastlane. That's where HHH could be about to screw Roman, and Rock saves the day, resulting in either a DQ or Roman getting the belt back.

Either way, there would be a rematch at Mania with some stipulation that pushes the story over the top, and the long rumored HHH v Rock match could make the card.

So if you look at the Rumble as a tool for selling Wrestlemania, the odds of Roman keeping the belt are actually 50/50.

In other news... how about that Social Outcasts faction? http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/63121/985#bbspost25687575_post_text

John Cena's gonna be out for WrestleMania 32, first time he's missed the biggest show of the year since 2004.

Good call on that one, let's hope they do something similar to what you proposed instead of a 3MB 2.0 scenario. I loved 3MB but I feel like it was only ever going to work with Heath, Drew and Jinder, anyone else would be a big no-no.

3MB was still a jobber faction. I think they sent a message having Heath pin Ziggler that this time they are going to get a push. It may be a small push, but if they can get the fans behind the gimmick, they will probably be a lot more like New Day than anything.

Remember that New Day also started as a group of guys who were never going anywhere in the midcard, but by simply embracing their own retarded personalities, they broke through the initial gimmick creative gave them and got over big time. A lot of that came from the fact those 3 guys actually ride together and had that natural bond.

Well the 4 guys in Social Outcasts have also had a long history of travelling together, so they should have more than enough pre-existing chemestry. Any flaws they have individually will fade away as they work together and feed on each other.

The big risk is if they get too far into the comedy stuff. Having them do funny shit is fine, but turning them into cartoons will kill the gimmick. All 4 of the current members are really good in-ring workers, so if that's the side they get to show, we're in for a treat. I REALLY hope to see the likes of Fandango and maybe even R-Truth get pulled into this group. Or if they really play to the angle of being a group that's been held back, it could be a great spot for Cesaro.

Think about how that cheezy ass Rocky Miavia guy became The Rock in the Nation of Domination and broke through to the top. That could happen to one of these guys if they're allowed to grow organically.

Tonight is the debut of Smackdown on USA. Both Wrestling shows will finally be on the same channel.

It's a really good opportunity for SmackDown to push the envelope. Back when they had the 'brand split' and Heyman was booking Smackdown, it was actually better than Raw.

The problem there was the USA Network did not appreciate having the 2nd best show, while paying for the top franchise, and politics resulted in Heyman's SmackDown dying a slow, painful death.

But now, USA won't care one bit of SmackDown happens to be a better show, they still win either way. And with ratings on the decline, using SmackDown to try new things, or expose more people to new wrestling styles would be a smart experiment that could ultimately lead to better Raw bookings as well.

OR, it will just be a few unimportant, random matches with clips and promos trying to get people to watch Raw and buy PPVs...

Personally I would LOVE to see the roster split between shows. It would make more sense to move NXT Stars to SmackDown before Raw where they can master the bigger shows and be involved in PPVs without the same level of expectations a top guy on Raw has to have.

I'm guessing this?

After assaulting Vince, Stephanie, and a referee last week, what innocent person will Roman Reigns attack tonight? Don't forget he is suppose to be the babyface " Good guy."

Sting is going into the WWE Hall of Fame this year.

I wonder if this means he's truly wrestled his last match...

They buried Sting and made him out to be a fool in his WWE matches. Now, they are trying to build up his imagine to gain ratings for the WWE hall of fame. lol

Lesnar or Ambrose better win the rumble..
