QUESTION - Can a re-united "The Shield" be the next WWE "cash cow" moving forward?

That motherfucker has EVERYTHING.

I like the concept, but might be tough with the brand extension. I can see how you would have The Shield help each other on joint PPVs, but then Ambrose is on his own on SDL.

I think Roman is still tracking to be Cena's heir apparent. From what I hear when I watch he gets the biggest reaction on the roster next to Cena. But it's that mixed reaction of cheers from kids and girls and massive boos from the smarky dudes.

Some people see that as a problem. Personally, I don't care what reaction he gets, as long as people are showing they care. In That regard he has guys like Rollins and Ambrose beat.

I don't think WWE needs one guy to carry the company. Sure it's nice to have a Cena or a Triple H, or even better a Rock or Austin. More and more the company is built around the WWE logo as the top star vs any one talent. As a business, it's better that the brand itself is the star, and the stars are interchangeable. In the old days you needed a guy on top to sell PPVs, now it's more about WWE providing enough entertaining content to drive up network subs. Something they are doing very well at right now. So I dont see any reason to change course.

Good response as usual.

p.s.______________CyNick, check your PM box. Or better yet, check out the following thread (http://www.tpwwforums.com/showthread.php?t=132386)

There's a guy on here, who like you, never gets defeated in a debate (lol). His name is El Capitano Gatisto; the king of the Political Discussion Forum.

I think it would be interesting if you guys debated on something (A political issue perhaps). If I understand correctly, he leans a little towards the left while you lean towards the right.

Hopefully, you're interested.
