A new report by Justin Barrasso of SI.com has provided some more information about Vince McMahon not being sold on Finn Balor being a main event star:

"Also, contrary to reports that Finn Balor was pulled from a potential Royal Rumble Universal title match against Lesnar, Sports Illustrated has learned that Balor was never even in the mix for the match. Balor is slowly transitioning into a newer version of Dolph Ziggler as a performer with a great series of matches but no reward atop the card or faith from the office.

A source close to WWE creative relayed that McMahon sees Balor as bland when he is not portraying 'The Demon' character."

Click here for the full article.

It should be noted that in this week's edition of the Wrestling Observer, Dave Meltzer wrote the following about the Royal Rumble:

"The original plan, which was changed on 11/20, was for Brock Lesnar vs. Finn Balor to headline."

Meltzer also noted the following:

"Vince McMahon was concerned that Balor wasn’t over enough for the position."

Welp.

Ziggler 2.0


Right now his character is "an indy darling who wrestles for a living" just like so many more characters right now. Give the fucking roster some creative freedom so they CAN get themselves over, stupid idiot Vince

Ziggler? A guy who wrestles for a living and believes he's the best
Balor? A guy who wrestles for a living and believes he's the best
Bobby Roode? A guy who wrestles for a living and believes he's Glorious
Sami Zayn? A guy who wrestles for a living and believes he's the best but was unfairly treated
Owens? A guy who wrestles for a living and believes he's the best but was unfairly treated
Nakamura? A guy who wrestles for a living and believes he's the king of strongstyle, but he doesn't even get to showcase THAT on the main roster
AJ Styles? A guy who wrestles for a living and believes he's Phenomenal (in his case though, he really IS one of the best in the world right now so it works for him)

I agree, it's not Balor's or Ziggler's fault that Creative doesn't know how to do their damn jobs and figure out how to build them up. It's pretty incredible how fast it took for them to pretty much kill off Nakamura, Owens, etc.

Even as good as Styles is, only a matter of time before he gets the same treatment.

Yeah, hard to imagine Zayn and Nakamura had MOTY last year (or was it 2015? :lol: )

That and pretty much everyone trades wins and losses like they mean nothing. It's hard to care about a match when we know the result doesn't even matter until the title is on the line

Right now pinning Reigns is a big deal but ANYONE can get a pin over Ambrose or Rollins. Miz the greatest IC champ in years but it wouldn't surprise me if he has more losses than wins.

Looking more and more legit Styles is done soon :(

In an interview with Wrestling Observer Radio from 2015, Styles mentioned that he wanted to retire by age 42:

"At 42, that'll be 20 years for me. I think that's a good stopping point, if I make it. You never know what will happen next. Blowing out my knee at this point in my career could be career-ending. I was planning on retiring early, but apparently IUDs don't work for my wife."

According to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com, Styles' contract with WWE expires in early 2019 and Styles will be 41 by then. Meltzer noted, "But he’s making a ton of money right now and when you are, unless it’s an injury situation, the lure of one more year is pretty great."

Bunch of jobbers

Ziggler WAS good but got ruined by wwe long time ago. if they slightly tweaked his gimmick to be more bad-ass instead of a spagetthi haired gay looking shawn michaels 2.0 he could been so fkin great
Nakamura is trash, overrated pos with a gg entrance thats it.....most boring guy on smackdown....even finn balor > nakamura
Sami zayn is boring, as a heel hes just so annoying but hes a bit entertaining in promos, idc for his matches tho
Aj styles is god
I like bobby roode, lots of amazing potential feuds with this guy.....but as a face hes so fkin corny and hes so fkin annoying " GLORIOUSSSS" ziggler was right, another guy that is only over because of his entrance
Owens is very good, altho im not really entertained by anything he does even tho hes really good on the mic.......idk why, i just dont care for his matches
Balor. I hated that man when he debuted...hes still super super boring but I can tolerate him more now that hes not pushed as a main eventer, him vs miz could be good...hes decent just a bit too small for my likings and doesnt have much carisma but hes still more entertaining than nakamura


PS: When you look at bobby roode you think hes huge and all, but at survivor series it made me realize how fkin small that guy is.....guy is like 5"8, I thought he was 6 feet AT Least
Triple H is like 2x his size LOL..and I fkin thought they were the same size before or pretty close

Hes one of the most boring on smackdown in the "top echelon" of wrestlers that they try to make you care about

You can't blame HIM though, he literally oozes charisma in everything he does. This goes on booking on having no idea what to do with him, jobbing him to Mahal multiple times pretty much derailed that train.

My only problem with him is that stupid ass mouth guard when he talks. It needs to go

You disagree with me while you prove my point? :wacko:

Give any of these a character you would care about, other than indy darling (which we all know you ignore) and then tell me again about how good of a professional wrestler they actually are
