I mean, if I were booking, I'd be leaking regularly that Vince hates Cesaro, that his accent is too funny for him to ever get over, that he's got backstage heat with someone, or whatever. Then you chuck him on Superstars and give him the occasional RAW segment, giving him enough time to look good in-ring but not letting him show what he's capable of.

Then, if the IWC/smark fans care about him enough and see him as being held back because backstage politics, you start getting more of a reaction from the crowd. Threads pop up on forums calling for a Cesaro push. The IWC get angry and yell at Vince being an egomaniacal dick ruining his company by holding Cesaro down. And they you start the slow burn...
Shame this actually hasn't happened yet though.

Well Cesaro just had a weird shoot style promo from Rose exactly to that effect,and now Stardust has a Stardust section style thing going on.

It wouldnt surpeise me if the VKM "hate" was a work.

Again, you're assuming they did that because they were planning on it paying off at WM 30 with him winning the belt. Which, as has been pointed out, is not true. The payoff for the whole Bryan vs Authority storyline was never going to happen.

Thank god everyone threw a hissy fit.
Uh ieven said in that same post that the original idea wouldn't have been the title at wm30.

A win at 31 would have been just as if not even sweeter.

I think people are confusing my argument with he had to win at X date. Thats rubbish. The need for DB to win at WM30 was more down to mishandling of Batista than anything.

They were 6 months prior to WM building DBry to be the goat face Face of the company. The yes movement was being fully supported,the need for him to win the title when he did wasnt apparent until a few months before wrestlemania. More time would have probably only gotten him more over and may have actually benefitted the Wyatts.

That said, if they didnt pull the trigger then hed probably have been injured before they could. So it was fortunate that Batista Orton were so bad.

Caught some WWE today while waiting for the cricket.

Saw that D-Von and Bubba Ray Dudley are still a thing. Such a 2005 flashback.

Also Dolph Ziggler was everywhere - USA championship match, some weird love angle with Summer Rae and some fat Italian guy (who was pretty decent in the ring too).

Why is Randy Orton in a tag team match with some n00bs and Kofi Kingston and losing?

The divas are a lot better in the ring now than they used to be.

And who proposes to their GF at a WWE filming? Not even a PPV, just a random show.

Oh and kinda hyped for Lesnar vs Undertaker Hell in a Cell. Kinda wanna watch that.

I'd enjoy seeing Owens continue to bully the lower card faces like he has been with the Lucha Dragons. Has been giving those guys a bit of chance to shine and makes him seem strong.

Anyone here got WWE 2k15 for the PC? Recommend it?

Occasionally enjoy playing HCTP and SVR '06 through an emulator with friends but think nostalgia of playing those on the PS2 as a kid is a big part of why I enjoy those games and I hear they haven't been able to recreate the magic of those games in the latest games but was wondering if I should buy 2k15 as it's the first to be available on the PC.

Yep.

In other news, Tyler Breeze just got promoted to the main roster.according to Dave Meltzer. I rate him and think he's entertaining but the announcers constantly calling him prince pretty is annoying af. I mean I don't mind his overall gimmick etc., the nickname, especially when used as a replacement for his name on a constant basis gets my goat though.

Also love how much both Dolph in recent weeks and Tyler want to look so much like HBK from the 90s. :laugh:
