Bruce cant work himself in soon enough. Well, my feeling is that Aleister is going to end up on Smackdown. I feel like Vince can't figure out whether Aleister is a heel or a face; he sees tattooed, dark, and sinister and automatically thinks heel. It's the same reason why, I feel, it took so damn long for us to get Braybyface, because Vince looks at the total package (look, entrance, music) and thinks, "By God, he's a HEEL!" Fortunately, if Aleister goes to Smackdown, there's less potential for Vince to muck things up as there are more sensible producers on Smackdown than there are on RAW (where Hayes is literally the only one that seems to know what he's doing and he's lazy AF these days). From what I've heard, Hunter has considerably more control with the guys being brought up from NXT than previously - the same kind of booking control he now has with Seth. Also, it figures, Vince it seems has managed to outsmart himself with his lack of paying attention to other promotions. It seems like Taker taking a booking to do Starcast got Vince spooked, as he thought that Starcast is specifically an AEW product, when in reality there's just the good working relationship between Conrad and the AEW guys. i think that's part of why he was so adamant about bringing Bruce back into the fold and why they hit this reset button. Vince was never going to bat an eyelash no matter how many of his mid-card guys jumped ship, it was going to take one of his BIG NAMES who were WWE-made. Not saying Taker is going to AEW (he won't), but he is taking bookings outside WWE (at like $50K a pop just to show up and work a table), and WWE's trying (last I heard) to do a stock buyback right now.

Troy Brown Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 To be fair, Aleister Black had a crap showing on NXT for awhile with his promos/wearing a suit. He doesn't really have a character, imo, and needs to sell less in the ring for the no real gimmick to be a gimmick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Brown Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 While I love seeing DIY on the main roster, I really was offended when they were called tag team specialists. Just the best part of WWE programming as singles wrestlers the last 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said when AEW first started in this thread that Bruce would be a great pick up for them, wouldn’t be surprised if this is partly to keep him away from them. Which works for me because I’m happy Bruce is back in the WWE in a senior creative role. Raw badly needs him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I say it a lot but...how long do I have to wait to see the big boy strap on Miz again? Doesn't matter whether it's the Universal (which likely never happens) or the WWE title. He deserves it. Put one of them on him relatively soon.

beekay414 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 And I love that, since the inception of the Universal title, they've relegated the WWE title to the World Heavyweight Championship level. I'd rather have that belt back, damn it. It was the sexiest belt in the history of professional sports entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love the constant comments and advertising on "FIND OUT WHO WILL CHALLENGE DANIEL BRYAN AT FASTLANE" as if there needs to be a challenger at the pay per view while the universal title gets defended 3 times a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cooler looking and way less cringey than the Universal title. However, they slightly ruined the WHC when they kept it around as essentially a secondary belt when the first brand split ended.

Doesn't matter whether it's the Universal (which likely never happens) or the WWE title. He deserves it. Put one of them on him relatively soon. So long as Miz himself is content to be that mid-card stalwart - which, I'm willing to bet, now that he has one kid and another on the way and gets the concessions to be allowed the time off to spend with them (which is exactly what having a show like Miz and Mrs. is), he's likely to prioritize family over being the tippy-top guy in his company. I've met Mike on a number of occasions, he's my fraternity brother; he's going to value the former over the later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
