WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament Discussion Thread

I don't know about you, but I bought a ticket to like who I like, not who WWE tells me to.

I'd never cheer for Cena over Styles.

And this is exactly why no one gets over

that's fair. I feel like supporting a heel who is doing a good job being a heel means booing them, even if they're entertaining. like buying into the spectacle of the show.

but no, that shouldn't cross over into cheering / supporting guys that suck just cause the WWE wants you too

this especially extends into american indy, where the face / heel dynamic has been fucked by fans who just cheer for whatever they want. I like the idea of booing the bad guys when they're doing villainous shit. it's part of the fun.

I think End going over would have been good for the crowd, but they way they've protected Neville since he became a contender for the CW title is about the best thing that's happened for that division since the CWC

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Finn Balor, oh yay.

Not really, 90% of the fans of marks who hate who WWE tells them to.

 

[Sabretooth]

He better say he's returning soon.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

The thing people don't understand is that's how WWE knows when a heel is supported enough to go babyface, they're getting more cheers than boos.

 

[Fauche]

of course a fucking crowd is chanting "we deserve it"

fucking fuck

I feel this is the Kayfabe way of enjoying the show and that's perfectly fine. I'm more honest. If WWE wants me to cheer the babies, they need to do a good enough job to get me to like them and the heels need to do a better job of getting me to hate them.

That's how WWE knows when something is working or not. Heels that are overwhelmingly cheered will get a good babyface run.

Now the crowd is being entitled. The "you deserve it" chants were bad enough.

If Dunne wins this tournament and then Regal smashes Dunne in the face with the belt, I'd mark all day.

 

[Fauche]

someone make a meme or a gif or whatever of Regal giving Dunne the fucking death stare here

 

[Fauche]

maybe if Bate wins he'll can use that WWE contract money to buy some kneepads

I'd expect it all to go to buying a real set of ring gear and a personality coach.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Dunne or no buys. Don't fuck this up.
