Undefeated Steak Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 It may not define him, but it's the only thing he's had going for him for the better part of 5 or 6 years. Wasted on Brock Lesnar in a shit match. Who's getting the rub from this? John Cena? Because he's the only guy they're letting near Lesnar when he shows up for one of his handful of dates a year. Come Wrestlemania time when Lesnar is against Reigns or whoever they're grooming, nobody will even remember the streak ending because like someone else said, it's just another line in Heyman's promos now.

TildeGuy~! Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 After Raw a scenario popped into my head where Reigns beats Lesnar at Wrestlemania and then Rollins cashes in, it's the only way I see it going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who does that help? The rub Reigns gets from Lesnar (who last already lost a load of heat fighting Cena on a loop) is lost immediately by losing to Rollins, who for all intents and purposes nobody is buying as a main eventer, so Reigns essentially gets weaseled by a mid-card act that hangs around with Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury, of Smackdown 2003 lowercard fame.

Glass Smash Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I can't see Lesnar still being champ at WrestleMania I would expect Cena to win the title back at the Rumble. So because of this i'm still going with Rusev to win the Rumble match.  Here's my WrestleMania card prediction  Cena V Rusev (WWE Title match) Triple H V Sting Taker V Wyatt Lesnar V Reigns Orton V Rollins And it's hard to tell where Ambrose and Ryback fit in at the moment, one of them will probably get stuck with the Big Show.

Â After all the effort they've put into making Lesnar out to be some unbeatable beast (with the intention of having someone beat him against the odds at Mania) they're just gonna have Cena beat him at the Rumble?

Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted December 17, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted December 17, 2014 it was one of the best Wrestlemania moments ever. Meh. It became a iconic moment by default. It was the end of a 20+ year winning streak (preceded by an awful, lifeless, heatless build and match), of course people were going to be shocked.  You'd have got the exact same reaction if he lost to Punk last year. Would that have been one of the best Wrestlemania moments ever and worth doing?   They'll get Lesnar's heat back in time for Wrestlemania  The fact the heat's gone already and they need to magically bring it back from the dead doesn't ring any alarm bells?

Â Â Â That works for me. Â Reigns looks like a monster by beating Lesnar, and Rollins becomes his ultimate heel foe by taking the shortcut. Â Cue Reigns chasing chickens hit heel Rollins for 6 months until getting his title back, becoming a 2 time champ and having a long reign. Â Reigns doesn't lose any heat because after a hellacious match with Lesnar, he's obviously easy pickings. Â NWAused to have Flair dodging the baby faces all the time as a heel champ, it works well.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted December 17, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted December 17, 2014 The fact the heat's gone already and they need to magically bring it back from the dead doesn't ring any alarm bells?He was over like a motherfucker on Raw this week. He's got plenty of heat.   That works for me.  Reigns looks like a monster by beating Lesnar, and Rollins becomes his ultimate heel foe by taking the shortcut.  Cue Reigns chasing chickens hit heel Rollins for 6 months until getting his title back, becoming a 2 time champ and having a long reign.  Reigns doesn't lose any heat because after a hellacious match with Lesnar, he's obviously easy pickings.We've seen it a million times now. It's so overdone. Plus it pisses on the whole point of winning the Rumble. Don't get me wrong, I can see them doing it, I just think it'd be shit. Rollins isn't good enough to carry his end or over enough to make it worthwhile. Still, it probably beats the arse off Reigns defending against Kane for two months as per.

Paid Members FLips Posted December 17, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'm sure Rollins will do well out of being the one who beat the one who beat the one who ended The Undertakers streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TildeGuy~! Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) For me Rollins is the biggest heel in the company right now. Â When Rusev gets a few credible wins under his belt he should take over that slot because let's face it the biggest name he's come up against in the year he's been here is Sheamus. Â Also I'd be more then happy if Ziggler won the Rumble and Lesnar threw him about for 20 minutes before Rollins cashes in on Dolph Edited December 17, 2014 by TildeGuy~!

Flair was the travelling champ taking on the top babyfaces in every territory and even calling himself the "60 minute man" as he'd take them all on and go the distance. NWA champs were presented as fighting champions, as they had to be with the travelling schedule. They had to be portrayed as the best in the world for when they came into another territory to defend against that territory's top babyface. Not someone who dodges a challenge.

Loki Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I mean literally dodging, on the telly shows he's do the scalded dog impression. Â The faces were always chasing the heel champ, is the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
