The road to Wrestlemania 32...

[alexb]

Ambrose is the best idea but the one WWE is not willing to take, if they go the most predictable route here with Roman than you won't be hearing from me for a while as I search new occupations for my spare time. (Nah not really lol)

As noted in another thread, I just don't think WWE have the balls to go with Ambrose. I totally agree that Dean Ambrose is a much better idea. The guy is over with the crowd and it's not even close in comparison to Roman Reigns but WWE are so stubborn with their master plan to even see it and to actually take the opposite route that really makes the most sense: turn Roman heel. Why not just capitlize on the situation and make the most of it? I mean, the reaction that Roman is getting isn't the one anticipated but he's getting a strong reaction nonetheless, just a negative one. So why not just use it to your advantage? Anyway, unless WWE are setting us up for the biggest of swerves (in which case, I'll be the first to applaud and give them their props), I guess we'll have to deal with the situation as is. The thing is, they've been setting up the Roman vs HHH match for way too long to just abandon it last minute.

Well as I said in other topics Vince McMahon isn't a man from this time period, now that it's the year 2016 we don't live in world where wrestlers have to look good to be wrestlers... or "superstars"... whatever... Vince isn't really letting the new world in. Either WWE is really considering Ambrose winning this match at Fastlane based on the crowd or Vince is still forcing Reigns up our asses.

This thread started as an attempt to make predicitions regarding Wrestlemania and how the card may look like based on the current storylines but this doesn't necessarily mean that the conversation has to be that specific. The title says "road to Wrestlemania" and, well, it's WM season, isn't it? Or not?

I most certainly would like to get your thoughts on this because this is indeed supposed to be WM season yet it's doesn't really feel like it. This time of the year is supposed to be about excitement and anticipation, major storylines being developed, hyped and have us itching and thinking anxiously what's next and etc. Anyone feel any of those things? I know I don't...

Now, one may argue that it's still relatively early with two full months ahead of us. True, but what is it that's currently happening in WWE that appears promising for the near future? I mean fuck, for the most part, nothing makes sense.

Take Kevin Owens for example. This guy was a steady work in progress, looking stronger and stronger as the weeks went by, had an excellent showing at the Rumble despite the loss to Ambrose (which I feel elevated him even more_ and then....what? He jobs to Dolph Ziggler. I mean, that's what it has come down to, no? Not only do we have to suffer watching the same match over and over again, but for two straight weeks Dolph, who noone gives a fuck about these days, is getting the wins? For what? Maybe I'm too stupid to see it but what exactly is the goal here? Where is this going?

What about Roman Reigns? We all know the ultimate goal is to make him the face of the company but to me it feels like ever since the Rumble, WWE have done a shitty job in his case. Not only was his showing at the RR weak (napping for half the duration of the match in the back), but everything that followed since has been equally poor. And then you have Dean Ambrose looking like the real deal, which is fine, but at the same time what does that do for Roman?

Speaking of Dean, is his use of a heel move the other night (obviously referring to the low blow) a tease for a possible turn? And if that's the case, is WWE out of their minds? You're looking to turn heel the one guy in the current active roster that is as over as it gets and not do so with a guy like Roman who get's very little or mostly negative responses from the crowd when he shows up? Where the fuck is the logic in that?

Some more questions:

Why has Brock not bothered whatsoever to confront the Wyatt family yet for what happened at the RR? Ok, the easy answer is that they are probably saving it for after Fastlane but not even a single teasing confrontation?

Why does Titus go on a sweat winning streak, seemingly getting some kind of a push only to lose out of the blue to Adam Rose? Seriously? To Adam Rose?

What on earth are they thinking and doing with Ryback???? What genious came up with that idea?

Why are the League of Nations still around as a group?

I could also add why Brie Bella was inserted all of a sudden in the title picture but, ok, I get it...


On a possitive note, at least WWE made a good move with the Dudley Boys and this ought to spice things up in the tag team division...

Anyway, let's hope that soon enough WWE will get their shit together and start delivering cause if they continue this path, they'll be lucky to sell half the tickets come Mania...
