He is in danger of getting very over, And i am certain that is not their plan. Thought it was interesting they actually made sure you knew he was being brave and had guts rather than he was just stupid

It might not be the end of WWE on prime time TV in the USA but I don't think either USA or NBC are gonna sweep it under the rug. If i was WWE i'd be trying to get those 1 million + viewers back and you see it with the big shows and the big events on Raw that they can do it, when they really try they can get 4 million viewers, even if it's just for one hour or a few segments, clearly the people are there to watch when it interests, the hard part is getting them to watch every week again. I don't have the ratings to hand but I do remember there being a big drop and then it just started going down. I thought it started it at the Royal Rumble 2015 but I remember reading it actually started in December at one of the Raws where there was quite a big drop. I personally didn't notice a huge difference in the shows, I know the Daniel Bryan situation pissed people off but I've no idea why there's been such a huge drop in viewers. You know more than me with how much gets made on the ads compared to how much WWE is being paid but even if they put Raw on earlier at 5pm, that might get them more sponsors too and open them up to a lot of other companies.

I like the demon but I think it's been handled very poorly
I might be being harsh but if it was me I would've made the demon transformation a big thing, and while it wasn't as bad as it could be, I really thought he was going to cut a promo in the ring as the demon, I'd have saved the demon reveal and entrance for next week for the bigger pop Have him come out as normal and promo to build the anticipation for the demon, or at most continue the video packages that tease the demon without showing too much One thing I did like, and that I think should continue, is that the demon no sells a lot of offence from Rollins, I'm in two minds about it but there's a bit of me likes the idea of having Balor going over next week in a glorified squash match because the demon has so much power I don't think that it would hurt Rollins long term and would even build more story to his character to a point where Rollins rebuilds and reclaims while turning face and getting crowd sympathy, lengthening the storyline between the two and potentially opening up both a heel turn for Balor as the demon takes over his character and The Club having an opportunity to build and establish as a top level stable Build the anticipation, have a slow burn, think about Sting vs Hogan/nWo and the 18 month build but don't have a terrible payoff Quote:
I think Slater absolutely nailed his promo with Heyman/Lesnar.

He's been excellent. I think they should transition him into a more serious character and play up the fighting for his family angle. Then build it up to him finally getting a win, maybe even for the US title and you've got a new midcard babyface. There's so much scope to make more out of these talented but underused guys now.
The matches thrown away on something like Main Event and even a competen yet bland wrestler like Bo Dallas or Fandango should mean a lot more than they do to the product. |

I've often found it absurd that the likes of Heath Slater, Damien Sandow and even Tyler Breeze have been treated like 1980s jobbers on even one occasion. Since 2001, this company has had such an athletic roster. Duds like Mason Ryan an David Ottunga are the exception rather than the norm. Yet they've squandered so many acts to 50/50 booking on C shows and squash matches on Raw. All because slowburn storytelling belongs to wrasslin' and old school entertainment, and Vince doesn't believe fans care or remember win/loss. Though if they really believed that the likes of Cena, Reigns and Lesnar wouldn't have been handled so carefully.

I'm glad Ibushi turned down a WWE contract. He would of been good in NXT but would of gotten the Nevile treatment on the main roster and forgotten about.
Also what's with bellend Steph going from face/heel pretty much every second. She's giving Big Show a run for his money. |

http://www.sportskeeda.com/wwe/wwe-r...or-becky-lynch I just don't trust WWE to do it right and that is not to mention certain fans and groups. |

You shouldn't believe online rumours but how good would it be if it was true. 'Oi, me names Becky and I'm the Lass Licker' lol.
