Ambrose has the 'Daniel Bryan' booking vibe going on and he's clearly so much more refined and skilled at this point I can see the fans turning on Reigns come Royal rumble. Wwe really should have learnt their lesson with DB last year though maybe that is the long term plan anyway to recreate that any way? The traditional super push in my opinion just doesn't work now and fans buy in to organic pushes rather than forcefed ones. I know we like to dismiss wrestling fans in general but we're smarter than we've ever been and won't be fooled in the longterm.Andrew Barbarashnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-61042872979258601922014-09-20T05:04:05.791-06:002014-09-20T05:04:05.791-06:00I think that adds to the point that his short, exp...I think that adds to the point that his short, explosive moments are what stick out. He's not at the point where he should be having long matches. You don't want him selling a lot or he looks weak, but you can't have him blitzing guys like Orton or Kane in less than 5 mins to hide his weaknesses. <br /><br />Most successful tag acts like Bret and Shawn got test runs as singles before finally breaking off. Unlike Seth and Dean he does not have Indy experience to draw from in singles matches. <br /><br />WWE has some work to do to get him to the level that fans will buy him as a superstar and champion.Bookermannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-71224903670538068432014-09-20T00:13:30.703-06:002014-09-20T00:13:30.703-06:00Any of you watch Son's of Anarchy?

He broke his arm because Big Show chucked Ziggler out of the ring during a battle royal and Dolph fell right on Barrett's arm.

The whole point of renaming people is that they own the rights to the name, and the performer can't use the name post WWE. However, they sign Kenta and bill his as this huge name in Japan, so let's change that name to something totally different. If anything, keeping his name would help them out especially when they go to Japan.Larry Huber Jrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-15962166913395226902014-09-19T21:39:57.954-06:002014-09-19T21:39:57.954-06:00Yeah, he discusses this with Chris on the Jericho ...Yeah, he discusses this with Chris on the Jericho podcast.Fozzy Osbournenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-77029647170364472482014-09-19T21:30:54.721-06:002014-09-19T21:30:54.721-06:00That was the only good thing to come of "AJ i...That was the only good thing to come of "AJ is the new GM of Raw," as they started introducing her as AJ Lee.Fozzy Osbournenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-63249079745485590442014-09-19T21:29:31.311-06:002014-09-19T21:29:31.311-06:00Well, in FCW it was "the Unchained Melody of ...Well, in FCW it was "the Unchained Melody of Dean Ambrose," so....Fozzy Osbournenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-80577014616836366022014-09-19T21:28:25.314-06:002014-09-19T21:28:25.314-06:00WINNER!
