Pat Patterson wanting to bone Shawn probably also contributed to his push.Keith R said:

Not just Michaels. Bret Hart went from mid card IC champ to face of the company because Hogan, Warrior and Savage were all under steroid suspicion, so he sorta instantly became the #1 face, his only competition was Mr. Perfect who was just coming off missing a year due to a back injury, though at the time Perfect taking the title from Ric Flair probably would have made for a better story, even if it wasn't the guy they wanted to be champion.Keith R said:
Speaking of Mr. Perfect, as a kid I always thought it added a bit of credibility to Flair(not that he needed it) that he had Perfect as a manger while he was hurt. I was thinking, why don't they still do that. like, why couldn't Daniel Bryan have managed somebody while he as injured last year, they could have played it as someone he believed could continue his fight against the authority or something like that.

Looks like a good thing they didn't cave in again and give Bryan the world title again. Though I'm not sure WWE wants it whatsoever, appears likely they'll have to make him a 'special attraction' type if they want to continue to have him wrestling. I'm sure this guy has wrestled less than a dozen times since he's come back from injury. At some point I think you gotta ask if it's worth it anymore.

If that's what they're going for, they've laid a good foundation. A few times now he's come out and tried to "encourage" a wrestler to "bo-lieve" after a tough loss only to get the crap kicked out of him. A guy can only take so much before that positivity turns to despair. With that beard you can certainty see the resemblance.
I don't like it either, but what else can they do with Reigns? The fans have made it very clear they don't want him in the main event scene, and he isn't a good fit with the lightweights and middleweights in the IC title picture. The fans wanted him bumped down to the midcard, and so here he is.If Vince has the beginning stages of dementia, this would be good proof of it.Oh Lord. These guys are STILL fighting??
They had at least 3 singles matches this year pre-Mania to 'help get Reigns over'. Maybe since Show won the Andre Battle Royal it'll actually work this time
Everything about it was perfect. The number of moves (not 1001, but 1004
), the printing paper, the names of the moves, the repeated use of arm bar, him still doing it when they come back from commercial break supposedly having read through 100s of moves, the flustered look when he was kicked out of the ring barely able to keep the giant pile of paper from spilling out of his hands. So awesome.

I still think Show and Kane has a role they can play, but to still be actively wrestling in PPVs while a guy like Bray is not.

Is Bray's absence due to his ankle injury sustained during the WM warmups?

Rollins heel is pretty near perfect. So good I think he holds the belt until Wrestlemania next year

If only there was a roster of underutilized wrestlers that could have a better match than Old Show.I don't like it either, but what else can they do with Reigns?If Vince has the beginning stages of dementia, this would be good proof of it.

Like who? Everyone in his league is either hurt or already in a program with someone else.If only there was a roster of underutilized wrestlers that could have a better match than Old Show.I don't like it either, but what else can they do with Reigns?If Vince has the beginning stages of dementia, this would be good proof of it.
Are you kidding me? Reigns is so vanilla in the ring it's not funny.Superman Punch, Spear... wash, rinse, repeat.Like who?

Big Show, one of the best Giants in wrestling history is not the problem in that equation. Dude has earned his stripes and has been killing it on the mic.
You'll all miss him when he's gone.

IIRC, they changed the name of the F-U long after the face turn, coinciding instead with RAW going PG.

New Day works as a heel faction. They seem to be good workers and elicit a good response.

I'm actually excited that Kofi will get a chance to work heel for once in his WWE career.

not happy with the Ambrose/Harper finish

If this was the attitude era, the camera would've found Ambrose ddting Harper into a Malnatis deep dish

Decent PPV so far. I agree with lame Ambrose/Harper finish. Just didnt care enough by the time it happened.
Love New Day as heels. Gimmick screamed heel.

Last man standing is a rough concept that makes for slow matches, but I think it worked here because all these guys do is hit huge impact moves.

Was my favorite match of the night.Who woulda thunk a new refreshing feud could be enjoyable.
Nice to see Neville go over. I think they've done a solid job so far building him up. Even if I'm not super high on him as a singles guy long term, any new faces on the show are good.
Can't believe WWE still thinks fans care 'who will Kane side with?' They've done these turns so many times with him (and Big Show) that no one cares.
Really have to wonder how bad Daniel Bryan is hurt. Hard to believe this is gonna turn out good if they continue having him wrestling every week.

Big E should have been a heel from the beginning, but I've been dead set against Kofi turning. I can sort of see how this could work though... he could be excellent in the weasel role. Xavier Woods is so $$$ as a bad guy too.

at Big Show with the announcer's notebook. Haters are gonna hate, but Big Show has been pretty solid lately on the mic and ad libbing.

The Divas match tonight was alright, but is it too much to ask that we get some clear face and heel roles in that division? Why does every woman wrestler have to only act like a catty ##### with her fellow female wrestlers? It's tough to get a crowd into a match when you don't have anyone to really root for/against.
