Agreed. One marquee match per show and go for hot angles through the night. Always end on a cliffhanger. How to fill three hours though?
A bit old school, but people are tuning out of 50/50 booking and stop start pushing. Yet PPV aka network specials aren't engrossing because most of the matches are booked half a dozen times via tag matches, six man tags. |

He comes across to me as somebody who is much more comfortable in a heel role, even the way he walks to the ring (as in his face rather than the arm thing) is much more cocky heel than baby face. I like his matches, he's (IMO) a great wrestler but he needs something fresh.

Really feel like Nia Jax needs more menacing music, especially if they are going to play her as a malicious monster heel.

I'd go with having a roster of jobbers to the stars that consists of veterans signed up and some from the indie scene they'd never actually push. Two actual roster matches and one main event that goes a decent amount of time or if not ends with DQ, count out, cheating. Very very rarely job out any of these acts and change up the endings so that they end via a lesser move.

If Reigns wins this and goes to face Balor it may keep me up until the end.

Think I would have Owens cost Balor the match in that case. Got to get some feuds set up tonight.
Wouldn't have an issue with Zayn going over either and then have Owens interfere and attack both which Balor then comes out on top of. |

Definitely agree with that. I know they wouldn't reuse it but I think a remixed version of William Regal's heel theme would suit her really well. I don't know where that came from but I'm sticking with it lol

Really don't like this 'Balor Shock Win'/'Balor Underdog' crap they are pushing.

Is it just me or is the jump over the top rope to clear everybody out becoming a bit over used... Seen it twice tonight

Agree with this. Those star tag matches should be treated like marquee main events rather than perfunctory time fillers. They need need need to focus on getting over characters and angles.

But then we go back to Reigns vs Rollins which after the Triple Threat has no interest from me.

A good recent example of this is Cena, Amore and Cass vs. Club last night. A good match, but they'd already faced off in a 12 man tag on Raw and a couple of singles matches. Why would anybody apart from a huge huge fan of WWE be that excited about paying to see it when it was predictable Cena would pin Styles? It's an example of them sucking the blood out of a feud rather than let it develop organically.

I know what you mean. I just think Owens makes sense as Balor's first proper feud because they can play on their NXT history.
They need to start letting things build, let things sizzle. We're having what is essentially a #1 contender tournament start and conclude in 3 hours (and 20 mins probably). |

Yeah I can see what you're saying too. Maybe Zayn goes over and faces Rollins then. I just really think they've blown their Shield spunk up the wall on a B pay per view and now I'm over it sadly.

Yeah, it's this weird compartmentalising thing they do where people only interact within their own feuds so we see the same thing over and over again. I see no harm in giving Cena a routine squash win over someone lower down and then an in-ring interview or something like on Nitro to advance the feud instead.
I don't understand why they made every feud face each other over and over again. Again, let it sizzle |

Why not use the Crucifix Powerbomb as Reigns finisher it's 100X better than his spear.
