FUM Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Looks like they're going to let Reigns hang around the mid card for a while with a US title run. Seems like poor Rusev is getting the shit end of the stick again. Â I have to say I think Mark Henry serves no purpose in being an active wrestler these days. It's about time he called it a day. I'm more hoping Rusev is about to get the push he thoroughly deserves into the bigger title picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted August 5, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 5, 2016 A fued with Reigns isn't Rusev getting the shit end of the stick. Reigns headlined the past 2 Wrestlemanias and is one of the headline acts. It's Rusev being featured in strong upper card fued. Â Rusev vs Reigns at Summerslam will be miles better than Rollins/Balor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 5, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 5, 2016 Given that Reigns appears to be in the doghouse, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that Rusev goes over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boytoy Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Given that Reigns appears to be in the doghouse, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that Rusev goes over. Â Rusev should defo go over, they aren't going to get a better opportunity to rehab him into the main event monster heel he should have become after Mania vs Cena. Reigns wouldn't be damaged all that much, in fact it might even be good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Â Given that Reigns appears to be in the doghouse, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that Rusev goes over.

Reigns wouldn't be damaged all that much, in fact it might even be good for him. Â I guess it depends what they are looking to do with Reigns (and Rusev). If they are looking to go in the direction that Reigns loses to Rusev and realizes that he needs to reevaluate and maybe turns heel, then yes a loss to Rusev is fine (and also if they are looking to push Rusev a little more). If they are just making Reigns lose to everyone he fights because he is in the doghouse, then a loss to Rusev is a little silly and it does nothing for either of them.

Jackpot Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Rusev should win, it'd do both him and the US Title the world of good to go over a man who's held the WWE Title 3 times in the past 12 months. I really hope they don't go down the route of Reigns defending America though just to try and finally get him some cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I've finally got rid of Sky Sports, which I've had since 1995 with the exceprion of a 6 month period in 1999. Gonna be weird not even having the option of watching live. Â Youtube clips the next day it's gonna be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it's more likely as I doubt they'd want reigns saddled with the US title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCW Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Sasha was cack on the mic, don't really watch nxt so assumed with all the hype about her that she would be decent at least. Jericho holding Charlotte back for a minute before letting her deliver her line was funny too. Â Becky seems to be the only decent women's promo that I've seen anyway.

The King Of Swing Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Becky would be Banks position on the roster if there was any justice. Great sympathy face and a convincing arse kicker when called for. Â Jericho doing the Rougeaus Brothers spot in the corner with Charlotte was wonderful.

Paid Members WWFChilli Posted August 5, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) Lynch has always been the best of the bunch. Sasha's video game style got over during the boom for NXT though, her match with Sasha is the best match I've seen Banks in. Â Her promos are also very strong. She'll get her turn, she's nearly impossible to turn heel and oddly gets more over when she gets the Sting treatment in angles.

Have your barf bag on standby for the possibility of this line: Â "I'm not a good guy. I'm not a bad guy. I'm an American guy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted August 5, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 5, 2016 They'll still boo, then they'll be a 'LET'S GO RUSSIA' chant at Summerslam, which they'll think they are amazing for doing...

Guest Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 If he finally takes off his chest protector to reveal an American flag, a la The Undertaker before Survivor Series '93, then I'll be on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 If ever there was a place to make Roman Reigns a massive America-defending flag-waving face, Brooklyn certainly isn't it - and that's speaking from personal experience of last year's show. They hated him more there than was even fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
