Not really that much of a fan of Riley. I thought he showed good fire in his initial face turn. I'm intrigued to see if he's got anything as a heel when he returns.

He's too likeable to be a "serious" heel for me. It's either comically creepy Johnny Curtis or mega-face, most charismatic superstar ever Johnny Curtis.

I can imagine him being the lovable heel of The Authority that you are just waiting to revolutionize the industry with ribbon dancing.

If he comes out with the yellow ribbon in hand every week and never even makes reference to it and just keeps everyone thinking "He's got the ribbon! It's right there in his hand! Dance, Goddammit! Dance!" for like a year straight before eventually turning on The Authority and dancing with it... Then I'll allow it.

The only way I'd support a Roman Reigns heel turn, is if Seth Rollins starts getting significant cheers from the crowd and/or the WWE feels that Rollins would be able to get over quit well as a face. For now though - you have to keep Reigns as a face to maintain equilibrium. Another option is if the WWE turns the Wyatt Family into faces (Bray), then you could turn Roman (but knowing how the WWE thinks, I don't think they'd ever push Bray as a top face in the company anyways). |

Can this be played on an iPhone? Loved playing "back in the day" but I don't spend much time in front of a PC anymore.

Luke Harper
He has a great look. And has proven he can have a good to great match with anyone on the roster. When Kane and taker finally retire Harper would be the perfect replacement for them. And Cesaro is a guy that hopefully keeps getting moved up the card. And has everything needed to be a long term main eventer. |

Really wish they gave Luke Harpers IC title reign to Mark Henry.

LOL WTF
It wouldn't have done Henry any good. Dude's been under contract for almost 20 years and is now basically a part-time jobber. I mean, I respect your opinion and all, but there was nothing wrong at all about letting Harper have a run with it. Maybe paved the way for him to get a few more IC and/or US titles or at least become a solid mid-upper card guy since he'll never be WWE WHC I don't believe. |

Would have done nothing for either man since it was so short. But Henry never held the title and he's older so...

No offense, but while I'm sure most guys who hold any kind of titles in pro wrestling might be grateful for the opportunity, I seriously doubt any of them are looking at their careers and saying "Hmm, don't have that one yet. Maybe I should try to get a run with it before it's too late." I would hope most, if not all of them would care more about the fans and putting on great matches for them that will be talked about 100 years from now, not "He who has the most gold wins". |

I didn't say he wished, I said I wished. Since it would have done nothing for either give it to the established guy.

I think a Mark Henry IC title run would have been great.
The "He's been around for way too long" thing is valid... but it was valid when he won the WHC on Smackdown, too. And it actually worked. He looked like a fucking beast against Orton in both matches. He's good at playing the cocky badass. Putting the IC title on him and then having a face overcome him/shut him up could have done wonders for someone. Way more than it did for Ziggler winning it back from an under-pushed Luke Harper. I forget Harper was even a champion until someone brings it up. |

Cena as IC/US champion would have been an excellent choice. Good post.

Actually, if RyBack could defend his title, I dunno, maybe not weekly, but maybe bi-weekly, successfully on RAW and/or SD! combined with defending it on PPV from now until say December before dropping it, they could really use that to build him as a credible main-eventer again, and against the right opponent, if he won the big one finally and also defended it semi-regularly at the very least, I'd have no problem with him as "the man".

I still don't get that "he's better than anyone else" vibe from Ryback. I'm sure he's a nice guy and he's worked hard and all, but I just don't see him in that top spot. Fandango is a definite though.

I'm not a huge fan of The Ryback but like him mildly. Ryback gets strong crowd reactions but I don't think he's good enough in the ring to warrant a main-event push or to ever be "the guy." I would reconsider my stance if he improved his wrestling.

The problem is that the dude looks like a boulder. How do you justify having him be anything other than a killing machine?
Dare I say it, but Ryback might be best suited to an enhancement role. He's a guy that looks like a million bucks, but is ultimately there for a sneaky heel to pick apart and prove that brawn doesn't always win. I think I'm just saying that to get heat with the "Ryback for President" committee. |

They should make Daniel Bryan his corner-man/coach. Bryan can't be the Intercontinental Champion himself, but is friends with The Ryback and supports his career. Then Bryan throws in the towel for Ryback one week and returns the next to win the IC Title, and everyone knows something is up.
Build to Bryan vs. Ryback for the IC Title at a major PPV. Best rassling match of The Ryback's young decade long career. |

Then they can form a PrettyCool tag team after.
