I suppose the silver lining from all of this is that Reigns is pretty damn hated already so a full heel turn for him maybe easier even as the top superstar in WWE. That said WWE need to pull the trigger fast as Reigns must be the most hated "babyface" of all time and he hasn't beaten Undertaker yet. they never did it with Cena and think Cena would have thrived as a heel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue at this point is Cena is superman to every kid in the crowd and is the face of the make a wish foundation. It's hard to turn someone like that heel. Cena wants a heel turn and has done for years. Hell he wants WWE to return to the TV-14 days where violence and blood were common place, but his persona is so ingrained now that a heel turn almost wouldn't work now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Yeah, I have to admit that when Cena started his 'rapper' gimmick, he was great. Dissing other wrestlers, crowds, and pretty much anyone else in a particularly amusing way frequently. @Daweii is spot on of course, he'll never go back to the Dr of Thuganomics, or any other heel character for that matter. I did wonder when Reigns stated to get a massive push while still in the Shield, if he could effectively take over from Cena in that regard, but I don't think so now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Royal Rumble 2015 ended any hope of that. That one event destroyed Reigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Speaking of the indies during wrestlemania weekend, I watched GCW's Joey Janella's Spring Break earlier, which took place in Orlando yesterday. Card ; Quote Matt Riddle v Dan Severn Joey Janella v Marty Janetti Lio Rush v Keith Lee Spring Break **** match (this was a 13 man + 1 woman gimmick battle royal, featuring a literal 'invisible man' and Dink the clown, a midget wrestler) GCW Heavyweight Title - Anything goes, falls out anywhere - Matt Tremont v Eddie Kingston Braxton Sutter & Allie V Andy Williams & Penelope Ford Sami Callihan V Kyle the Beast Those co main events not much on the under card, but the upper card was good fun. Riddle is possibly the hottest property in the indies at the moment, and it was a nice way to throwback to his MMA origins (I did actually watch his series of UFC ultimate fighter) against a legit legend. The whole thing capitalised on WWE's 80s throwback spoof 'Southpaw Regional Wrestling'. If you haven't seen any of the eps, check it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Would love this to take the model of the CWC and use some non-WWE talent. I'd particularly love to see Candice LaRae (very possible) and LuFisto (not so much). Also just read they're replacing all the NXT titles with new ones. I blame Paige Edited April 1, 2017 by hogso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Should be a great tournament. I think it will feature more indie talent than we'll be expecting. I think there will be more WWE talent in this tournament than the CWC as the female indie pool is smaller, but I have a feeling this tournament will be great. Candace LaRae will be in it surely as she's independent and married to WWE talent Johnny Gargano. Crazy Mary Dobson (Sarah Bridges) who signed for NXT last year may appear here as she hasn't really featured yet so a tournament could be great for that. I'm looking forward to it.

Takeover was decent, main event was alright, as was Tommy Ends debut and the women's match. The tag team match was great, awesome, awesome booking of AoP. The results were ultra predictable, not necessarily a negative, as it should mean main roster moves for Tye Dillinger, Nakamura, and at least one of DIY or Revival. As for Asuka, there are a few women waiting in the wings would could step up, I know they've recently signed Kairi Hojo and were allegedly close to securing Io Shirai too. The latter is a huge star in Japan, and I could see an angle working great if they go for a kayfabe enemy from Asuka's past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Revival have been ready for a year now. Best tag team in the world IMO. So fun to watch. Tommy End was very good, really enjoyed his debut as Aleister Black. Despite the lacklustre card I've found myself really looking forward to WM tonight. Got snacks and drinks in. I am ready.
