Random WWE Thoughts
Having spent the last three days sick as a dog (and thus been able to binge-watch the WWE Network), I’ve caught up on my storylines close enough to the current timeline and have, like, a LOT of thoughts, especially with NXT Takeover San Antonio being just wrapped up and Royal Rumble coming up in less than 24 hours:
• Dammit but the Usos are so much more groin-tinglingly attractive as heels. I don’t know why. Just, HOT DAMN.
• After this stunt at Takeover, I think I can finally buy into Seth as a babyface. A really aggressive, entitled, rabid mongrel of a babyface who still has a LOT of issues to resolve, but yeah.
• Triple H is always planning something. Always. Don’t be surprised if Balor comes back as the next Golden Boy and his animosity towards Seth for putting him on the shelf gets twisted into a revenge plot by the Cerebral Assassin.
• Please call up #DIY to RAW. We need more solid, hard-hitting, hard-kicking, babyface Tag Teams on the red brand.
• I wish they’d give Roman something to fight for instead of just belts. Imagine what it’d do for him if he had something like Seth’s vendetta against Hunter to light a fire under him.
• If Randy Orton wins the Rumble, we riot.
• I hope Luke Harper takes Orton out.
• Dammit but that Mojo Rawley kid is growing on me.
• My love for Sami Zayn knows no bounds. They need to stop screwing him around. Kevin’s held two titles (including the big red one) and Sami’s held none so far and it’s driving me nuts.
• WHERE IS THAT RIDE ALONG EPISODE WITH NEVILLE AND SAMI?
• Dolph Ziggler’s Satellite DDT is a thing of beauty.
• Johnny Gargano’s eyelashes are a thing of beauty.
• Shinsuke Nakamura’s....everything is a thing of beauty.
• I’d give an arm and a leg to see Samoa Joe beat the crap out of Brock Lesnar.
• Please dear Lord, just give us a Royal Rumble winner (and a Wrestlemania main event) that we can’t even predict right now, for fuck’s sake. Stop sticking to stubborn booking decisions and letting guys like Roman soak up the fan backlash for it.
