Villaphan04 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 This video makes me think about how the WWE has evolved over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I think the correct term is "devolved". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 The title is utterly worthless when there is two world titles and even when there's one, the champion plays second fiddle to the part timers at big events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You put anyone who isn't American in that position and they will draw heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Styles is probably my favourite on the roster but I just think Owens obnoxious attitude inflated by the briefcase would be great. He'd be the kind I'd like to hold it for ages with a number of teased and failed cash ins before ultimately winning the title. I really enjoyed the long spell when Styles and Owens were world champs. Then they ended up tearing that up to shoehorn in a load of matches for WrestleMania and it's been shit since then with so many title changes and Goldberg and Lesnar being part time champs. Actually Jinder Mahal is one of the few entertaining things, as I've said before the foreigner gimmick shouldn't really work but it does with him.

ThunderPower_14 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Corbin really bores me. If he came along 20 years ago he'd have worn a mask and barely spoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I'm pretty sure that Jinder is the only WWE champ to have successfully defended his title this year. Also pretty sure that neither of the 3 universal champs have successfully defended this year as well - could be wrong about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Not including dark matches; Wyatt defended the Heavyweight title in a triple threat versus AJ and Cena on the Smackdown after Elimination Chamber, and Owens defended the Universal title against Reigns at the Royal Rumble, and had a DQ win against Strowman with the strap on the line the night after. So yeah, 4 'official' matches, including Mahal's win over Orton at Money in the Bank. For a brand like WWE, it's simply not good enough. If you're curious, by way of comparison, the Impact World Heavyweight title has been defended 9 times (over 3 champions), the ROH World title has been defended 11 times (over 4 champions) and the IWGP Heavyweight title 7 times (1 champion) since the start of the year. In NJPW news, Omega won the IWGP United States title in a 5 star match against Ishii in LA. Pretty unsurprising result, but the dude deserves to have gold round his waist again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of the day he is bringing in loads of cash monies for the WWE so this literally is "whats best for business" Mahal v Rusev, Mahal v Corbin, Mahal v Cena would be good matches. Would like AJ back as champ but its only right he takes a little step back now, let others take the limelight, then later build up for a huge AJ v Nakamura match to headline Wrestlemania possibly.

Yep I agree with this, these two should be headlining wrestlemania in my view If I was booking WM next year I would have the card looking like AJ vs Nakamura (belt) Strowman vs Finn Balor vs Samoa Joe vs Seth Rollins (belt) Cena vs Reigns Lesnar vs Bray Wyatt Owens vs Tye Dillinger That for me would have Nakamura winning the rumble, but I would do something different and have Nakamura and Balor both eliminating each other therefore having a cross over fight to decide who gets title shot at WM.
