    Fantastic thread on Squared Circle calling out Rosenberg/Greg. I think I'm done with them. Rosenberg is a shill for the company, Greg is a shill for Rosenberg. I have a Heyman guy tshirt that reads "the voice of the voice of the voiceless" (back when he was with Punk). I'd love to see a Stat Guy Greg shirt that reads "the shill of the shill of the gutless bully".

    JR said he'll be working around 40 dates for WWE this year. Seems like if that means announcing he'd have to be heavily involved in one of the weekly shows. Could also just mean appearances though or maybe something like Legends or Table for 3, I don't know.

    I wonder if the plan is to eventually take the title from Naomi then a long title run until Asuka is ready? Once she gets the title there's no one on that roster who is on her level.

    Char/Beck at Mania, Asuka debuts the SD after? Maybe Char/Becky at SS since it sounds like they're going to do another draft later this year.

    I really wish they'd just do a "superstar shakeup" twice a year and leave it at that. It's enough to get new match ups and storylines going, and then they could do trades at any other point in the year. Whole drafts are just going to rush storylines or drop them completely I fear.

    Finally got around to looking up the results. Ended up with 130. We should consider doing something like this for a small buy in like the Rumble. Hell even smaller just $5 or something.

    Lol sounds about right.

    I actually think Roman does have "it" but that the presentation is ruining "it". You want people to love Roman? Make him the corporate puppet that everyone thinks he is and eventually people will want to cheer for him when they want him to turn.

    The same is true about someone he thinks doesn't have it. No matter how much the fans love him Vince will undercut and ruin him just to be proven right.

    I find that hard to believe.

    I would buy that 40% were 35 or 40, but 50 seems like a stretch. A lot of those fans from the Hogan years moved on after the Steroid Scandal and New Generation era and didn't come back to the Attitude Era; their kids or younger brothers were those fans.

    Also slight spoiler re:Kofi/New Day

    They're supposedly keeping ND off tv until Kofi is back. So a few more weeks I suppose. Them and Rusev should get massive pops when they finally make it to Smackdown.

    Would make a lot more sense if they had already been in a feud and it was like Dean came to Raw just to follow Miz and beat the shit out of him.

    Instead, it's a feud from 5 months ago no one cares about.

    That said, I assume it's just to get the title off Dean so they can have him free for some sort of Sheild reunion angle to try and get Roman some rub...

    And like you said, Dean and Miz was a fued like 4-5 months ago. It was even good, but they just dropped it like it never happened to get Cena and Miz together for that proposal at Mania.
