McMahon Power Struggle

[Keith]

Mcmahons have out in time to be considered talent as much as any wrestler in the back. Vince has bled buckets for the company, Shane put his body thru hell, Stephanie has bumped and been hit by men, and trips is trips. It isn't like they are Dixie Carter, Eric Bischoff, or Paul Heyman. They put the work in physically in that ring as well time and time again

You seem to be making an odd point like you are saying that non-talent have more value than a great manager like Heyman. Carter hardly ever appears on TV except in certain storylines which it would make sense for the owner to be there, and Bischoff does have a good history from WCW/WWE of being a good personality.

Just think fans are bored of the Mcmahons as onscreen characters no matter how long its been.

PWMania.com previously reported how The McMahon Family will play a key role in the WrestleMania XXX main event next year. As of now, the WrestleMania main event will be one of those deals where the winner gets control of WWE.

Vince McMahon reportedly won’t be wrestling but will have a surrogate Superstar. Triple H will likely be wrestling. Right now the plan is for Stephanie McMahon to be featured in the storyline through SummerSlam but her presence will be toned down after SummerSlam so the focus is just on Vince and Triple H.

So about this, I just want to know who Vince will pick. Will it be RVD with a heel turn? Or maybe even Ryback?

 

[Troy]

Can't see it being RVD at all. If it was to be Ryback then he needs to be built up again over the next six months to be a believable threat to Triple H and to be worthy of that spot. There are so many options out there so it is tough to know what direction they will go with it. It could be Orton back as a heel, play up the Evolution angle and the fact that Orton is of the next generation. I know that they have wrestled at WM before and it wasn't the best but it could work.

 

[Schmidty]

Yeah, or it could always be Curtis Axel, I am sure over a years time, that Curtis will get build up pretty good so that Him and HHH can finally have a full match.

 

[Troy]

Anything is possible but for Curtis Axel to work in a huge match like that he needs to be built like a star over the next six months. He is coming from further back than where Ryback is right now and would need to do a lot more to be seen as at that level in the fans eyes.

 

[Schmidty]

Well actually if Ryback does have Vickie as his manager, then it would make sense for a Ryback vs Triple H match since Triple H did want Vickie gone.

 

[Dale]

Brock vs HHH 4 and Cena vs Rock 3 is happening isn't it :

 

[Deezy]

Pretty obvious Triple Vs. The Shield with Trips going over and putting them all in a crate that has an nXt sicker on it.

 

[Tapout]

It will probably be Axel vs. Triple H. By then he will be ready. Triple H put on a good match with Sheamus at WrestleMania and Sheamus was still really green too. Axel has been pushed pretty strong right now and if they keep it up, he will be ready in no time. Makes sense too, because Triple H and Axel had that mini feud and whenever Axel and Vince are onscreen Vince kisses his ass, so he'd probably choose him.

 

[Deezy]

Sheamus wasn't green when he got to WWE, seen him in AAA years beofre that. Also, Sheamus was made to look like a threat to Trips, Axel? What did he do? Throw some punches and then get swept under the rug faster than pubes at a McDonalds.

Still thinking Shield vs Trips where he takes them all out Spirit Squad style.

Sheamus was super green. Doesn't matter what he did in other companies, he was practically a no one in WWE that got one fluke win over John Cena in a Tables Match. Axel has been in the company for a while now, has been in FCW, NXT, and wrestled for a few years on Raw, Smackdown, and Superstars. He got wins over Triple H, and John Cena in his first few weeks with the new gimmick, was paired with the greatest manager in wrestling today, and given the IC title about 5 weeks later.

Thats not being swept under the rug. This kid is in the middle of a huge push.

 

[Deezy]

Ummm.....Being green doesn't mean being new to WWE or what name value you have, it means how many years of experience you have under your belt, not to mention the fact that Sheamus was already using a WWE type style when he was signed, which is why Triple H was so high on him and got him his big push in the first place.

And Axel was swept under the rug, Steph, Vince both said he was beneath Triple H, and that was that. He isn't in a big push, he is just lower midcarder with a belt still trying get himself over.

Even if you use green to refer to how long he was in WWE compared to how long he has been wrestling, he definitely wasn't a no one in WWE when he faced HHH at WM. He had a big run on ECW where he looked like a star, crossed to RAW picked up more clean wins, won a Survivor Series match for his team on PPV, won a WWE title shot, defeated Cena clean and then defended the WWE title at the Rumble and Elimination Chamber. His match with HHH came about because HHH eliminated him from EC and therefore cost him the title, perfectly solid build. How could he be considered practically a no-one with that type of build? Plus he was over during that run as well, it wasn't like the arena was silent when he would appear.

Axel's current run is still a long way back from where Sheamus ended up but he does have time on his side. His countout wins over HHH and Cena remind me a bit of Tensai's run when he returned. He started with a big push including pinfalls victories over Cena and the then WWE champion CM Punk and then it just faded away. Just because he started with those countout victories, which to be fair made him look like a bit of a non-entity since the guys in the ring weren't hurt by him and were more worried about other opponents even during the match. He needs a much stronger run to get to that level where it would make sense for the match to occur especially with a big stipulation like the ownership of WWE online.

Also the fact that he has been around on FCW, NXT, RAW and Smackdown for quite some time as Michael McGillicutty is a negative when compared to Sheamus. Axel does struggle a bit from the fact that all the fans know he was McGillicutty and when he had the different name he was a jobber that could barely make it on tv. Sheamus was a fresh wrestler so no-one had any preconceived ideas about what position on the card he should be at.

Worst thing for Axel is he doesn't look any different from before at least lose the beard or something cause right now I see nothing special in the guy other then the fact that his dad is Mr Perfect.

He just seems to plain to me and not even Paul Heyman can get everyone over look at Heidenreich he tried to get him over and failed miserably.
