As for Ziggler, I think he's much better in the ring than Miz, has got a better look and I remember his fired up promos more than Miz's usual shticky talking segments he does every week. Ziggler is also missing something though. Less than what Miz is though.

Yeah but I also remember the lack of "oomph" he had on the mic when he started his face run in the WWE.

They'll probably script him to be lame duck. That would be a shame. They should just push him as he is now and play it off as a hero's welcome. I mean, they removed him from The Club and they had him beat Cena basically clean. They were setting the table for him to earn the fans' respect.

It's good, don't get me wrong, but there were people on here comparing it to Hard Times. Really? Really? |

The Miz as WWE Champion is still far less exciting than so many things they could do.

Zigglers promos are pretty much "I put on the best match every night, etc"
It's like ok but you are losing those matches. If a football team loses in 'overtime' every week cool it was a great game to watch but you are still 0-16. He should be cutting that promo to Vince, not the fans. Last edited by Big Vic; 02-09-2017 at 01:40 PM. Reason: fixed typo |

No, I don't think Orton or Miz should be champ right now. Orton is so boring he shouldn't win the gold at Mania; I don't mind Orton as Champ just not at the big 4 PPVs. Miz could be a transitional champ between ppvs like Orton, but Miz is an IC champ nothing more.

How can people knock Ziggler down for the booking following his promos and then elevate The Miz who has basically been a mid-carder of the same order? I don't get that logic.

John Cena
AJ Styles Bray Wyatt Goldberg Brock Lesnar The Undertaker Roman Reigns Samoa Joe Baron Corbin Braun Strowman Kevin Owens Chris Jericho Randy Orton Luke Harper The Rock even when he's not there Hulk Hogan when he eventually comes back Fucking Kane Seth Freakin' Rollins Finn Balor Probably Sheamus Even Big Show Definitely Triple H Maybe Dean Ambrose Charlotte Nia Jax Alexa Bliss That is a list of guys more important than The Miz in the WWE right now. Some of them are truthfully probably equal but simply working higher on the card. Why would you put the WWE Title on a mid-carder and have him jump so far above that list of talent? Stop fucking with nature. |

Orton winning the WWE Title sometime in the middle of the year and that causing friction between him and Bray to main event a SmackDown exclusive PPV would be fine, but something about it feels wrong for a WrestleMania main event. |

Because his promos were stating how he was better and deserved more opportunities because he had great matches.............which he lost.

Yeah Ziggler has always seemed like a jobber. He was jobbing to Vickie when he was world champ, I don't get the Ziggler hype at all. Maybe his name and whiney voice hurt him too much from the beginning but god that guy is lame

I don't like Corbin, but that's not really my point. My point is that if they booked Corbin vs. Miz, they'd probably use Miz's smugness to put over Corbin as a heel you should actually believe in.

He hasn't been the same since he turned babyface originally. He's one of those dudes, in the territory days, would have gone somewhere else by now so he can come back fresh. If there's a dude that could use a vacation, it's Dolph. It's hard to get enthused about the guy, and his heel run is already stale.

Dolph really should've left when his contract was last up. He could've used working the indys as a refresher for him while still staying outta the mainstream public.

Really dislike when people say someone should go to the indy scene. Why would anyone want to make less money if they are happy where they are at?

There's a logic to going so that you can come back for more money though. It's not a sure thing, but if you've got money saved there's a creative aspect to entertain too. Personal satisfaction versus financial security is a very real internal debate.

Dolph would get top dollar working the independents, work less dates, and broaden his portfolio. I'm sure Cody isn't hurting for cash bouncing between TNA, NJPW, ROH and the other indy feds he's frequented.
Maybe he won't get the same guarantees he gets with the E but I don't think he'd be underpaid. And like Noid said , there's an opportunity for him to do his own thing. |

Cody left because he was unhappy though. He wanted to work the Indy scene. He didn't do it to refresh his character.
I don't know shit about how much wrestlers make, just seems like WWE will be the ones to pay top dollar regularly. |

Ziggler could be just as unhappy. Maybe he just says fuck it and takes the money. I'm sure there's more than a few guys that just take the money

3 Dicks Out For Trips

First off I'd like start by saying fuck you to everyone who doesn't see that KO is incredible.
Secondly....No. Orton needs to lose at WM. Bray absolutely NEEDS that win or they may as well retool him. I love Bray but he can only get by so long with the way he's been booked the last couple years. This is the time to pull the trigger on him and see if he can bring back the hype from his early main roster debut and actually draw as champion. A transitional run would be awful for him unless he won it right back and then held it. Also that would be a probable 3 1 month transitional champs in a row. Cena, Bray, then Orton. No way they flip 3 different people over that fast with rematch clauses always being brought up. They are probably going to play off Cena's rematch as it stands no way they do that multiple times in a row. This is the year of Bray damnit and he better hold the title til summer slam. And if he loses it around that time I hope they put it on Luke Harper. |

I'm not really that keen on them putting the WWE Title on Bray at all. Something about the timing just seems wrong. Let Cena run with it into Mania -- he is their top star and it is fitting he heads into Orlando as their real World Champion.
I do get why you might feel that Bray NEEDS to win, and this is why I feel that The Undertaker's WrestleMania streak has had some majorly negative effects on the business. We now look at a guy's win-loss record at WrestleMania and go against the grain of a story in order to change stats in a rigged sport. Edge went over Alberto Del Rio at WrestleMania 27 and Del Rio was done because they looked at Edge's Mania losing streak in recent years and thought "Hey, maybe we should give the guy a win?". They put Big Show over Cody the following year because he also had that terrible Mania record. That was sort of Big Show's job though -- be the obstacle that is overcome on the grand stage. Jeff Hardy never won at a WrestleMania. Vince McMahon has never won at a WrestleMania. Big E has never won at a WrestleMania. Shawn Michaels' WrestleMania record is pretty atrocious. John Cena's SummerSlam record is 4-9. You don't need to go over at certain events to be a star. If the story calls for Bray to lose at WrestleMania, then he should lose. I'm personally holding out hope, beyond reason, that Bray puts over Harper at WrestleMania this year. |

I don't know if Bray is championship material to be honest. I love the gimmick, I do agree he needs to win more than he loses, but I cant see him being a wrestlemania champion. He is a transitional short term champ if he ever gets it.

I am definitely good with an Orton win. Would love to see him hang on to the belt at least until SummerSlam.
I also seem to be more of a fan of The Miz than most. I think he's gold on the mic, and has a look/charisma that harkens back to the 1980-Flair days. I understand he works safely in the ring, but that in no way makes him a less than stellar worker, IMO. I would love to see him have a run. I see a feud between him and Orton working really well. |

I see your point. The good thing about Bray, if WWE actually books him correctly, is that he doesn't necessarily need title runs to be $$$. In my mind, he is this generation's Undertaker... just run some good, creative storylines with him, give him some amazing entrances and match types, sprinkle in a belt every once in a while, and he is, if I may use the term, money in the bank.

I wasn't trying to make the point that Bray needs the win at wm or any specific event. I mean he just needs it in general. Orton damn sure doesn't need it, his role is permanently secure. Especially if you're gonna turn around and have him lose it to miz yet another month or 2 later.
I do agree that Bray should put over Harper but I think WM is too quick for that. We're going to have rowan back very soon and they will obviously build his involvement in that angle as well. That's why I think bray putting over Luke for the title at SS. The Wyatt gimmick has been awesome and the breakup of the family deserves proper build and attention. Really though, the break up of the family is why wyatt needs the win. He may never be the biggest star, but they do need him to fill a role near the top of the card for the forsee able future. He's Been made to look like he relies in the family for everything so he needs this big moment so people will believe he is credible on his own after the split. |
