PWD 238: Frank The Tank Appreciation Thread

Reigns going heel would be a good move at this point. He's not over.
 
I doubt Cena cares if Nikki holds on to the belt
 
Is there a story about Bobby Heenan and Hulk Hogan's beef because Heenan always sounds like he HATED Hogan whether he was a face or heel

Heegan and Hulk were close fiends from the awa days. Hogan got Bobby the job with the wwf. Heenan knew he could go all out on Hogan and not have to worry about offending him because of their friendship.
 
I will not accept them, they had their chance.

don't know what Reigns did wrong

he delivered at WM with a surprisingly solid match against Brock

the only problem are the nerds who write his promos

There is still resentment that Roman kept the smarks from getting their 6 star classic Bryan vs Brock match. Roman is way above were he was a year old and it's best to keep him off the main event picture for now considering they will boo him again if they did. If they actually go through with the heel turn, Roman should basically be a anti-smark and talk about how the fans turned on him for no reason, then they can push him as a main eventer again outta spite.

Reigns himself did nothing wrong. He was at the height of his popularity during the Rumble with the Shield, and the WWE took the next year to, er...build him up. They spent that year doing everything they could to make the fan's hate him.

As you alluded to, he came out and had to cut terrible promos that didn't fit his character and which he personally couldn't deliver well. And he had to go out and put in terrible performances (his RR performance where his job was to lay in the corner...) against competitors that no one cared about (Kane and the Big Show as the other last 3...), in a story whose entire purpose was apparently to make sure no OTHER story was successfully told (those two throwing out Wyatt whose entire build-up apparently meant nothing, meaning the first 1/2 of the Rumble centered on him was...pointless?).
 
I remember watching that a while back and having no clue as to how the match worked. I had no idea what was going on.



FTFY. As a non Murikan I have no idea why I am supposed to care about Lebron or Brady or whoever.:)

Shit, I barely know who our sports stars often are, never mind those in Johnny Foreigner's fake sports.
 
The Young Bucks? Motor City Machine Guns? Chris Hero? That list is fucked 6 ways to Sunday.

Bryan's injury really screwed up Reign's push with the smarks. Originally it was supposed to be Bryan who got destroyed by Brock at SS. That would have turned him mega heel and smarks would have been crying for someone to kick his ass for destroying their little buddy. Instead we get Cena taking his place and Brock ending up being the biggest face on the roster by far. The match was no longer a mega heel vs mega face but they continued to book Reigns the same way.

This is true. But fans turned on him as soon as dirtsheets started talking about him getting a push. He went from cheers to boo's without wrestling a match.

this is why it's awesome to be a child instead of an over analyzing mark. all smarks are marks in the end. a child can enjoy the show for what it is.
 
Reigns is still boring as shit. I fall asleep during all his matches. Lol at anybody who was claiming that he was over this year. "But but he took an awesome beatdown at Mania!"
