He's insanely likeable and he's got so much charisma. Add to that the fact that he's great in the ring and has the look and he's a huge star waiting to happen. I didn't mind the gimmick at first. He could have at least gotten really over with it as an upper-midcarder. Especially after they put him over Jericho at WrestleMania in his debut. Now that he's just another comedy jobber though they're really just wasting a talent who seriously has face of the company potential.

On Johnny Curtis...
I get the feeling that what they're doing with his character right now could easily be transitioned into him getting (kayfabe) frustrated and dropping the whole dancing thing. This may be good. [/WISHFUL THINKING] |

Would they set up for Lesnar defending against Taker at Mania? An opportunity to have Taker "redeem" himself and retire with the top title.
I doubt it'll be Bryan. They were forced into positioning Bryan where they did this year. I can't see them being in a rush to get him back up there. |

Sting Vs Solid Snake?
I would pay cash money to see that. Otacon would be ringside and turn heel on Snake. "Snake?! SNAAAAAAAAKEEEEE! *chair shot*" |

For whatever reason, I'm not sold on Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns as a WrestleMania match. I just feel like they're both too stoic to really have that WWE main event dynamic. I'd like to see it teased, or done at a different PPV as a feature match, but I just can't see it being for the WWE World Title at their biggest show and doing the numbers the WWE wants.
That being said, I do feel that Daniel Bryan is the guy. Whenever the guy gets a mention, he gets "YES!" chants still. He's probably still the most over babyface they have, even though he's not active. When he comes back and starts having good matches again, I think he will get surprisingly molten again. Bring him back for the 2015 Royal Rumble and have him win the whole thing after an amazing performance. The story heading into WrestleMania is The Authority trying to help out Brock Lesnar, and Brock being all "I don't need your help, because I'm going to break Bryan's neck." I'm holding out hope for a Rock vs. Bray Wyatt feud heading into WrestleMania next year. You can put The Usos behind The Rock and The Family. What would Reigns do? I'd either go with a Triple Threat against Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins (they haven't had all three mix it up together yet) or maybe a match against Cesaro, who would probably be Reigns' best opponent, like he is everybody's. I'd rather see the Triple Threat and then John Cena face Cesaro in a massive IC Title match. Randy Orton is probably the biggest star without a match at that point in time, but there is likely to be an act that catches on between now and then that will need to face a guy of Orton's calibre. It could be Adrian Neville, Sami Zayn, Kenta or even someone like Jack Swagger. |

His mic work is being exposed. I like Reigns in the ring although I fucking hate the spear as a finisher.

Very "smarky" of me but I tend to "go for" the guys with a journey rather than the guys who the company strap a rocket to. Guys like Jericho, Punk, Bryan, Eddie, Benoit. Not because I'm a Workrate Mark but because their story is easier to get behind. They've invested their life's work into travelling the world expanding their skills and getting to the top of the biggest company in the business is their investment paying off. There's something far more relatable in that.
I do like Reigns but it's so transparent what they want to create with him. I hope they pull it off because a fresh face at the top is always good. Just don't know if they can keep the guy hot for long enough. |

I'd be interested in seeing Rusev move on to a feud with Sheamus after he's done with Swagger. Seeing those two brutalise each other with Rusev claiming the US Title at the end of it would be fine by me. Have Lana declare the belt as the USSR Championship and do what Lance Storm did in WCW. Also, always liked the idea of Barrett winning the US Title and switching it out to bring back the European Championship. Then defending it in "European Rules" matches for a few months until some pro-US guy beats him and reverts it back to the United States Championship. |

Rusev and Lana have been a wonderful surprises. Rusev has definitley shown he isn't a stiff as a board power guy. Fuck I love that kick he throws. It's just devastating.

Lana is growing on me. She looks amazing. I haven't been too interested in Rusev, but his original match with Ziggler was good, and his stuff with Swagger keeps me from fast-forwarding his stuff. It's not so much the performer as the character. I would love to see a Ziggler/Rusev feud with Ziggler trying to bang Lana and Rusev getting all mad.
I was initially disappointed that the company went with The Miz as Intercontinental Champion. To be honest, I'd have gone with Ambrose and Rollins being in the Battle Royal, with it coming down to Cesaro and Ambrose with Ambrose winning. The Miz has done a good job with his current persona, and he and Ziggler will surprise people at SummerSlam, I feel. I could see Ziggler Superkicking Miz to win the title or some heels aligning with The Miz and helping him retain. Would it be too hard to imagine The Miz with an entourage consisting of either RybAxel or Slater-Gator? I think Swagger should win the Flag Match after getting a rub from Hogan on RAW this week. Where would that put Swagger? I'm not sure. Part of me would like to see Swagger's feud with Rusev continue, if only to lead up to Swagger forcing Rusev to tap-out in a big face moment. Sheamus isn't doing much with the US Title at the moment. I had an idea a while back that the WWE could have Sheamus be forced into the reluctant position of working for The Authority. He wouldn't turn heel, but in order to keep Ambrose busy and away from Seth Rollins, they put him in a US Title program against Sheamus. Ambrose still considers the title "his," and Sheamus engages Ambrose on a "You like to get beat up, fella? Well, I like to beat people up," level. At Night of Champions, Sheamus gets Ambrose in a Texas Cloverleaf and Triple H rings the bell, screwing Ambrose. Sheamus is pissed, but not as pissed as Ambrose, who begins a feud with Triple H. |

Miz with an entourage would be great. Love midcard stables. I'd rather not have HHH be the centre of another feud. Keep Ambrose separate for now. |
