Pretty much the entire roster I almost don't care at all what they have to say, other than if they happen to say something amusing I enjoy it and move on.
I literally cannot wait for the next word to come out of Heyman's mouth, even if it were him reading a Chinese menu.
That's a problem for creative that they apparently cannot solve.

I know it's a cheesy word to use to describe it, but whenever Heyman is talking on my TV, it's magical.
He makes me proud to be a wrestling fan. Rest of the time, not gonna lie, I'm embarrassed, most times.

What that man does ... to be that compelling ... to that easily blur the lines where you forget you're watching programmed speech but just looks like real oration ... and to realize he's not going into business for himself but instead pushing the storyline he was asked to push when he went out there ... it's a god amongst insects.

This promo needs to fucking stick in Cena's mind. We can't have him just go back to hyping himself up for a tag in another multi-man tag main event. He needs to start acting mopey & really contemplate what Heyman is saying.

I watch a ton of Mafia shows. They always say most Dons, not you, could be corporate CEO's if they were straight. Heyman is one of the most compelling humans on the planet. I don't need him to be doing a promo. I could just listen to the guy talk all fucking day. |

Or, you know, have the same gung-ho go get'em Cena promo as a response.
Don't do something different or anything. For fuck sake.

He needs to start acting mopey & really contemplate what Heyman is saying. No ... Cena is who he needs to be. He's delivering his part of this properly. More people ... far more people ... are going to resonate with his promo much more, they'll see Heyman as the setup for the point of the promo, as it should be. I just want to go back to the late 90s, so I see it with a broken prism. Still, Heyman's skill at working everything is unparalleled in the current environment, mostly because he's the last of his breed from his time. |

And I'm spent.
If the rest of the show was that compelling, that masterfully put together, that well produced, they'd be pulling a 6-8 share even against football.
It's not, and that's why they don't.

It'd be interesting to see how Cena would've worked out in the late 90s.
All of this aside, girl in the front row rocking the Brie Mode shirt sure ain't unattractive, even if she could care less about what's going on in the ring.

I've been on record for years that Cena would have been a major star in the late 90's. Oh cool, it's Sheamus. *turns to the Detroit v NYG game* |

Cesaro's music is the drizzling shits. It's like Scott Steiner developed a soundtrack for his Make-A-Wish kid.

Her ass makes up for her lack of singing.
Lana's anthem is Dream Weaver, we all know this.

Yes, he was on in January, but you're telling me they couldn't throw a few bucks to Nikolai Volkoff for an appearance?

Whoa ... are they putting an NXT match on Raw?!?
Gives me hope they'll show the Vaudevillians' entrance at some point on TV.

Old spice commercials have been top-notch for years. And so many different themes. There's a lot of good money and good drugs going into those spots. Unlike most of the WWE roster. Be sure to tip your waitress.

This crowd reaction is telling about how the average WWE fan feels about the great workers and characters in NXT.
And that is unfortunate.

So I guess I'm "wrestling" with a bit of a logical disconnect.
That sort of match is frowned upon for the most part. I get that.
Now, you just put that kind of match with (relative) no-names into your segment going into the nine o'clock hour.
You get the fans jiggered up for that kind of action. Then you're gonna go back to a more classical plodding kind of pace. After perhaps this Springer crap.
Too many different producers on a show turn the broth into hippo piss.

I'm glad I refreshed the page, because I was just about to write the same thing Peeps. It's almost like they're so used to average to below-average matches most of the time, they don't even know how to react to 4 excellent wrestlers.
With the amount of social media they constantly pimp, why didn't they plug this match a day or two in advance? It's just odd.
