d-d-d-dAz Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I think it was obvious he was going for the low blow, but given the story seems to be that The USO’s are desperate to believe that Roman can return to the light, I’ve no issues with them not seeing it. I think Roman was tremendous in that segment, I think the sharing words thing The USO’s do is a bit mid-card, but up until the low blow it was great. I agree the beat down after that was too long, but I did enjoy the final segment. In general, I think it was very good but there’s a danger the WWE become too aware of how good it is and drive it into the ground with over exposure. It’s the WWE’s oldest trick, to be fair.

I just think it would be really cool to come back to it next year with a Sami rumble win. 40 minutes ago, d-d-d-dAz said:  No reason Roman can’t be doing something else come April next year. The Rock 😎 Could see Roman/Solo at Survivor Series maybe. Solo as face for a short time before maybe a double turn there, with Heyman siding with Solo. You could then get to Cody/Solo at Mania, I'm sure they could heat it up but right now it sounds the most underwhelming Mania main event ever.

d-d-d-dAz Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) I don’t think Cody/Solo - if they ever do get to that - needs to be the big main event at a Mania. Even if you were to run Mania with it, you’d also have the World Heavyweight Title, Women’s Titles, whatever Roman and Brock are up to going on. I’m coming to the point where I think ‘Roman’s reign will end’ and ‘Cody needs to win the WWE title’ don’t have to be part of the same story, and it may actually be holding everyone and everything back thinking they do.

FUM Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Sometimes obvious to the fans is fine. Why would The Usos not believe he was being legitimate? Man had real tears rolling down his cheeks. Thought the segment was excellent till then - mainly due to Roman being such an incredible promo. The brawl went on far too long though but I’ll let it slide as I can see what they were trying to achieve. Austin Theory is shit. Grayson Waller isn’t even that good - though granted this was first match of his I’ve seen - but he can do and has everything Theory has.

Snitsky's back acne Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Poor Kross Why do I think Vince is going to have him start 'questioning himself' only to have Scarlett produce the gimp mask and S&M gear as 'the source of his power' or some bullshit just so he can go 'My vision was right all along, pal!'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarlettChad Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Greyson is good fun, and Edge has been utterly useless for the better part of 3 years since his return, so I hope he gets retired by Greyson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) Logically and I imagine it’s the dream scenario for WWE the Bloodline ends with Roman working his way through the family and facing The Rock to end it all. It’s probably why they’re holding on to it for so long in vain hope that they can somehow make that match down the line. Ain't no way they ever get Sami that hot again. Edited July 8, 2023 by Mr_Danger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I cannot get behind Solo being the one to dethrone Roman. For me, he is the weakest link in this entire saga (although he's still great in the confines of the Bloodline story) I don't think he'll flourish as a singles performer and that would be a complete waste IMO* It has to be Cody.   *Based on the 10 or so times a year I watch WWE.

TheScarlettChad Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Solo's good, but he can't be the break out star, He hasn't cut a proper promo. He's said some lines but never a full on promo since his call up. I reckon Heyman will manage him when he goes.....Solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man... all they have to do is steadily feed him low to mid card heels then pull the trigger on winning the US belt. Got a real old school Attitude Era vibe from that. Love it.

The King of Old School Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Couldn't stand Eli Drake in TNA all those years ago, warmed to him a little during NWA Power though. Ridiculous how over he is in WWE at the minute though. Surely a Summerslam US Title win is on the cards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very funny that everyone’s got hung up On the age thing… he’s in the same ballpark age wise as all the main stars, and is younger than Orton/Styles et al  Given how over he is already, there’s very little building they’d have to do to make a success of him as a mid to upper-mid card guy. The age thing makes absolutely no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarlettChad Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Does he have to be the world champion? I mean yeah he's getting up there in age, But he's so over. Would fans be content with him just as US Champion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
