TPWW Forums - View Single Post - DEBATE: Is it possible for guys like Jericho, RVD, Kane, etc. to still draw as ME's?

Definately arguement 2. I'd love to see an angle where Lita kills the baby inside her, so Kane goes completely nuts. He goes on a rampage destroying EVERYONE. Not one person on RAW gets away unscathed. The show ends with Kane above a bloody Eric Bischoff. Kane continues his week after week, while a new psychiatrist character claims that he's just going to claim more victims until he can become the monster that he once was, and to stop feeling the pain. Eventually Kane begins to wear a black and red cloak while he hides in the dark. He comes out to the ring and lights it on fire on occassions. He DESTROYS anybody in the ring. From Tajiri to Batista. We no longer hear those psychopathic promos. Kane eventually works his way into the title picture at the Royal Rumble or something, eliminating every guy without a sweat. Instant credibility for 'ya. Kane might even get a new psychopathic manager, or even Synn or Paul Bearer?

All's not lost for Kane. The other guys are in the same boat.

Jericho just needs to play the technical genius guy. Hitting the Walls of Jericho out of nowhere. Breaking rules, etc. Basically he could be a heel-face. If that makes any sense. I suppose sort of like Eddie Guerrero, but more ring based. For just once I'd like to see Jericho fake for a Lionsault in a match, and when the knees to counter it go up, Jericho lands, grabs them and locks in a Walls of Jericho. Maybe bringing back the Liontamer version of the move will help as well. But the biggest issue I have with Jericho now is his running knee on the middle rope. Any guy with sense would move out of the way while Jericho is standing there for 10 seconds taunting. I loved it when he hit it out of nowhere on Batista. Jericho just needs to let his mic skills, and wrestling skills, speak for themself. The WWE coul help by not putting a limit on this guy (let him do what the fans believe he can do).

RVD just needs more time to adjust. He sells really well, so he makes a beat down look credible, but I think he'll reach most of is success as a heel. I've never been fond of face Rob Van Dam, because I think he's boring quite frankly. A cocky heel Rob Van Dam would allow possibly a manger run with Paul Heyman or something. He can still do the stuff he does, but he could keep a cocky little smile on his face the whole match laughing at the crowd.
