How would you feel if Tyson Kidd was WWE or World Champion?
 
He's around the same size as ol' goat face and he's gaining some momentum. How would you feel if Tyson Kidd wins the WWE or World Champion in the not to distant future?

Kapoutman 07-18-2012 10:10 AM

If they build him up properly before giving him the belt, sure. I think we're past the time where being WWE or World Champion meant that you were the main-eventer or on top of the business. Anybody can be champ now, and they proved it with Miz, Khali, Swagger (as much as it pains me to say), etc.

Hell, I almost thought they were considering Santino for a World title shot for a while. Nobody would surprise me anymore.

CSL 07-18-2012 10:13 AM

"somewhat bemused"

Corporate CockSnogger 07-18-2012 10:34 AM

Pretty much what Kapoutman said. There isn't anybody that would be a surprising candidate for them to put the title on anymore. I mean sure if they just had Kidd beat Punk or Sheamus like next week or something it'd be a shock, but not on the same level as say if X-Pac would've beat The Rock years ago or something.

In fact, had the title situation been how it is now back in the Attitude Era, X-Pac probably would've got a run with the belt.

Skippord 07-18-2012 10:39 AM

I would feel excited about it

Gonzo 07-18-2012 10:45 AM

I think if they built it up right, why not? But that's what we know likely wouldn't happen.

Joesgonnakillyou 07-18-2012 11:09 AM

I'd be quite happy with it, then grow more and more uneasy as I realise the rest of the 'universe' doesn't feel the same way...

whiteyford 07-18-2012 12:59 PM

I'd be over the moon if they did it next week and he held it till the end of the pool as a fighting champion. Otherwise as long as he's built up I don't see a problem with it, he's more than a solid worker and really the only issue I can see is his mic work, which isn't that terrible.

Lock Jaw 07-18-2012 01:36 PM

If he was built up, I would love it.

If he were given the all too frequent "Let's give him a title and THEN try to get him over" push, then I say nay. Too much of that.

Kane Knight 07-18-2012 01:58 PM

Fairly indifferent.

CSL 07-18-2012 01:59 PM

he has the personality of a bin bag, he could be pushed like Brock Lesnar and he probably wouldn't get over, I don't think there is any "building up" to be done. Given just how good he is bell to bell, if he had absolutely anything else, I'm fairly sure we'd have seen it by now (not to mention "the office", who'd have seen it a long time before that)

Kane Knight 07-18-2012 02:03 PM

By the way, is Ol' Goat Face still getting just about zero reaction?

whiteyford 07-18-2012 02:04 PM

In fairness he's rarely granted the chance to showcase any personallity because ponies.

Dukelorange 07-18-2012 02:17 PM

Well, in my WWE 12 universe, Kidd won the WHC in the Elimination Chamber and held it for about six months...

whiteyford 07-18-2012 02:27 PM

I thought because ponies summed it up nicely.

RiX1024 07-18-2012 02:30 PM

Tyson Kidd as a champion....meh.

Heisenberg 07-18-2012 02:52 PM

Hope I'm wrong, because he's a great talent, but Tyson Kidd's push looks to be just for MITB.

The good permanent thing is that they are pushing alot of talent right now to fill the 3 hour Raws that will take a lot more talent and storylines to keep ppl glued to the screen.

Nicky Fives 07-18-2012 03:14 PM

I'd be very happy.....

Emperor Smeat 07-18-2012 03:37 PM

Unless they built him really well or follows a route similar to Bryan in how he managed to get popular from the YES! chants, feel all the WWE would do for his reign is something similar to Rey as champion where he's always the underdog or a weakling.

VSG 07-18-2012 06:55 PM

Amused at best.

#1-norm-fan 07-18-2012 06:59 PM

With the right booking, I don't think there's many people on the roster who are completely not capable of being champion. Some are just easier to book as a believable champ than others. Much, much easier.

Team Sheep 07-18-2012 07:54 PM

Right now, I'd find it ridiculous. But then I thought the same about Daniel Bryan, Jack Swagger, The Miz, Dolph Ziggler, Cody Rhodes etc. WWE do a good job of convincing me when they want to.

Surprised, but bored. I don't think he has the charisma to be at that level. Dont want any more vanilla wrestlers being WHC/WWC

GD 07-18-2012 09:46 PM

Tyson Kidd is an amazing talent and a wonderful human being. If he is booked correctly, I will accept him as my WWE Champion or World Heavyweight Champion or even both.

dronepool 07-18-2012 09:52 PM

Eh, he'd have to win me over until then I wouldn't care.

Dear Kapoutman, Miz was not a bad champion. Jack Swagger's reign was exceptional and Khali's reign was a huge hit in South Asia (do you know how proud I felt when he became the first Indian to win the World Heavyweight Championship? Not saying it was a good reign).

I hear he listens to Marilyn Manson.

Listening to any artist won't help his lack of build up and generic look.

GD 07-18-2012 10:17 PM

I hear he likes take a picture of himself right now.

Shisen Kopf 07-18-2012 11:37 PM

World HEAVYWEIGHT champion? Dude better start taking his beefcake 4000

Naked in the mirror, while pretending to be Triple H.

Keith 07-18-2012 11:52 PM

I wouldn't have a problem with it as long as they pushed him correctly, gave him some kind of a gimmick, etc.

He's solid in the ring, so all he needs is some mic time in order to develop a character.

:y:

As it stands, he'd need a mouthpiece and/or LOTS of practice on the stick (to be fair, he's still better than, say Brock Lesnar... who has gotten better than he used to be, but still). We pretty much know he's the goods in the ring, he just needs that spark to connect with the audience.

Kidd strikes me as someone that, if they decide to push him that far, will chase the heel champ for a few PPVs who will carry the heavy lifting talkwise (sake of argument: Cody Rhodes) and *just* lose each time via chicanery.

Keith 07-19-2012 12:09 AM

Sometimes I think of what it'd be like if WWE took guys Tyson Kidd, Jack Swagger and Primo (just to name a few), and put them in a stable led by Paul Heyman.

Wait, what?

Exceptionally insignificant.

DLVH84 07-19-2012 12:28 AM

I'd say about damn time. Chalk up one more for the Dungeon.

stultiloquy 07-19-2012 03:53 AM

Was never a fan....he's fairly solid in the ring, but his look and personality is as drab as can be; he reminds me of the 'Default' guy you see every time you open up the CAW mode in a wrestling game.

#1-norm-fan 07-19-2012 04:02 AM

He's great in the ring. In his current state he's more suited as the guy who just puts on stellar matches on the undercard though. Makes me wish WWE would bring back the cruiserweight division/title so Tyson Kidd, PAC, Yoshi Tatsu, Trent Barreta, Sin Cara, Evan Bourne and Justin Gabriel can all actually have something to fight for and don't have to win world titles to do things of note.

There's so much pointless filler on PPVs now because the writers don't want to put in the effort to build a full card. Beginning PPVs with even a BARELY built up cruiserweight title match would do wonders and guys like Kidd and Gabriel and the like who are really good but too small to always be in there with the main guys are suddenly relevant.
