You're the one claiming young talent is getting pushed. Yet all I see on PPVs are Orton and Cena over and over again.

You really want to use Reigns as your young talent example? Reigns is the prototypical beast with no actual in ring talent other than throwing people around. Ambrose and Rollins can wrestle circles around him and they aren't even the best out there by far.




This has been the challenge of wrestling since its inception.

I didn't say young talent was getting pushed. I said there's talent. I think reigns is underrated as a wrestler. Jmo. I really like Rollins. I see Vince's point though. Reigns is easier to push. He is bigger and looks cooler.

As to the last part, I was just pointing it out the dilemma with smarks. Also, I think it's more of an issue today with the Internet.

I completely understand your point though. I have been sick of John Cena for a while. Although his absence last fall made me appreciate him a little more. I'll know wwe is at it's peak when it can sell itself completely with its own talent without using the rock, Batista, etc. To get there it will have to push young talent and stop relying on these former superstars.

I don't know that Reigns look cooler, but he is bigger. And Vince gets hard for any big guy that gets inside the ring. Andre the Giant, Big Show, Khali, Mark Henry, Batista, Lesnar, etc. Now he has Reigns. To that though, we're at month 3 or 4 of the supposed Reigns push and it's still been minimal.

Reigns will fizzle out once people realize he can't talk. The big tough guy act will only carry you so far with today's fan.

Saw an interesting quote today. Don't remember where, but the jist of it was "Bray Wyatt is gonna be a star if used correctly. For a newcomer to make me wonder if Heyman is still the best talker in the business is telling. ..."

Thoughts??

I think Wyatt just tends to babble really, and nothing he says makes much sense. Cryptic is fine, as long as there is meaning behind it. That being said, he delivers well. Its just good execution of bad ideas.

Saw this and couldn't stop laughing. Especially at the end:

I really like Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns. I think those 2 are gonna be big stars in the future.

I just recently started watching Raw again. I used to be a huge fan in my youth during the Attitude era. Looking forward to the launch of WWE Network.

Thanks WWE for spoiling the ending by giving us not one, but two different closeups of Kane's fireball launchers taped to the ringposts thirty seconds before he came back into the ring. Obviously they were there for a reason.

So now the WWE champ has been clean pinned by Kofi Kingston and Bryan in the past month. I wouldn't buy a WWE PPV if it was $5.

It still bothers me that WWE just forgot all about the Wyatts dragging Kane away. Then weeks later he's just some random corporate sellout.

Kane becoming a corporate lackey has never made any sense whatsoever. Plus, he wears his ties too short and looks like the night manager at Wendy's.

His suits don't just look like they came off a Macy's clearance rack, they look like they came out of the Kmart clearance rack. Someone needs to hook Kane up with Barney Stinson's tailor.

I'm hoping they didn't forgot. Hoping we find out in a few months that he turned corporate because he's really working undercover for Wyatt to infiltrate the power structure and help the Wyatt's from the inside.

If anything, I think it turns out to be the opposite. The Wyatts are working for the corporation.

But ultimately, I think they are just pretending it didn't happen.

it's funny how hard Vince is trying to push Batista into a face role

Think it's because Batista plays a super hero in Guardians of the Galaxy this summer. They want him to be a good guy when he promotes the movie. That's the only thing that makes sense to me. As douchey as he dresses and acts, he's a heel all the way. The guy has a freaking belly-button tat...you can't be a face with a belly-button tat.

Im in the minority but i like Batista and im glad he's back.

I ain't got a problem with him or him coming back, but I do have a problem with him being shoved down our throats in the main event at WM. The guy was never really that big a draw to begin with, even at his peak. To me it just seems like desperation, like they can't get Rock or Austin so they have to scrape way further in the barrel.
