They never needed this shitter, they just needed a decent angle and he happened to be involved. Said angle didn't even start drawing big until Sami and then Cody got involved

Don't mean to shit on Roman, but I also did think of this after the Cody Cena thing. Even up to the return of the OTC it felt like they were still protecting Roman and wanted him at the top. Now it feels like no matter what they do Cody is the guy and it just naturally became that way.

I only got back into wrestling in November 2023, was his whole run as champion the same way? I think he has only appeared twice this year, he was out from WM to SummerSlam last year and even after he returned he missed weeks.

He has tons of storylines waiting since he turned face, he just doesn't show up enough to do them and would have to be face being in the midcard for a while.
>>17156096
Yes, but they used that to their advantage to either have a good talker or character carry the feud, or a good worker carry the match, it wasn't until the Jey match that people really started to admit it gets real old when on its own.

How is this news? Roman was always shoved down our throats, never over organically. I honestly can't believe he got over with the mouth breathers but here we are. Boring ass matches, boring ass moveset, would prefer to walk around the ring doing a soliloquy rather than slap on a headlock. Don't miss him, never wil..

Since you seem to lack logical thinking skills, the floor area to this arena is too big and nobody would be able to see shit too many rows back so they moved to one side and gave everyone a better view instead of the usual huge gaps in floor seats that places like Tokyo Dome and Wembley always have

They don't have the talent to do House shows anymore, all the draws are getting old and have reduced schedules.

They don't have a single drawing wrestler under 30 that can sell out house shows.

Nothing, I believe that the WWE will start do die, in no way any wrestler will make 7 digits in 2030, once RAW and Smackdown start to get TARPED again, it's the end.

Maybe territories will rise again and the indie scene starts to bloom.

Cody Rhodes was born in 1985 and started wrestling in the 2000's. He was born in the same year as Roman, Drew McIntyre and DEAN, Seff was born in 1986.

After that, there's not single relevant wrestler born in the 90s.

This. Still bummed out that they threw away everything there just for Cody to not even beat the guy that year. They've yet to recapture that must-see feeling they had with that each week. Even this Rock and Cena stuff while cool isn't going to have much build without either of them around weekly

There’s plenty of time. Rock and Cena cashed in heel runs to put Cody over to the moon. He can be the face of the company for a few years. If fucking Roman did it then he can too.

Yes, and all of the dudes born in 1990 will start to turn 40 in 5 years.

I think that's the reason NXT stopped hiring indie shitters and started to scout failed athletes just like in the past.

Sami Zayn should have ended Roman's Reign, but nothing beyond that, I don't think he could have been face of the company, in fact I don't even think he would have been a great champion. Daniel Bryan hijacked the show in a similar fashion, and was extremely over, but I honestly can't think of much that happened while he was the champion.

As I said, the only moment that truly felt right for the end of the bloodline was when Sami turned on them, in my mind, he would be champion for 4-5 months, do the blowup of the bloodline and drop to the next guy. I don't mind how things turned out, but I think it was a missed opportunity, just of because how Roman was built, you have to build your next heel, and so far they are failing to do so, pretty much because they didn't take that opportunity.

They only recently unified the WWE and Universal championships. I think Sami winning one of the belts at elimination chamber would've satisfied people. Have Roman win it back on night 1 of 'mania, and then night 2 is the match that fully unifies the belts. It would have made Roman's win even more impactful because he only needed to defend one belt, so he was stronger; and it would have flowed naturally into the WHC being debuted.

They tried to make Fatu the next monster heel. Turns out he is actually talented and Cornette-pilled so the crowd is cheering him. Tried to make Bron an athletic prodigy heel, turns out he is actually talented and Steiner-pilled so people like him. Tried to push Ludwig as the mid-card heel, turns out he is actually talented and zest-pilled so people like him. They might need to push someone really dogshit again.

I had to look these images up on reddit to figure out what the hell this anon was talking about, but the picture he posted here is remaining tickets unsold.

Other than the weird layout where half the arena is empty, the only real problem here is they overpriced their tickets and failed to sell some of the high-dollar seats close by the ring. If you look closely, you'll see exactly 1 front-row seat never sold, and quite a few 3rd and further back seats didn't sell. Redditfags have also posted versions of this picture from a week before the event and TONS of the high-dollar seats were unsold. We may have hit peak WWE ticket prices outside of Wrestlemania/Los Angeles/Vegas/The Garden.
