    NXT 11-04-13. Regal returns to the ring

    Urgh, I've hated him so far. IMO a horrible look, generic mic work and a crap worker. In saying that I've only ever seen him wrestle a couple of times, and one of them was god awful from what I remember. (Oliver Grey possibly? I actually like him as well)

    NXT 11-04-13. Regal returns to the ring

    I love how Tony Dawson introduces Maddox as the ‘Assistant managing supervisor’, and Maddox corrects him anyway ‘That’s assistant managing supervisor, Brad Maddox to you Tony’ :lol1: The Shield got insane pops again from NXT lmao. I really don't like this Corey Graves at all, but get the...

    Yeah Internet ended up being too shitty to watch, god damn Doha Internet only seems to play porn.

    Watching this purely for Maddox.

    How long will Ziggler hold the belt?

    I bet Crayo is secretly a mark for both of those things. I didn't think so, but yeah I have noticed in my short smarky time that heel champs seem to draw better. Punk was getting pretty poor numbers as a face, but as a heel they improved I think. (In saying this, I don't really think he was the...

    How long will Ziggler hold the belt?

    Yeah we have no idea really. As long as it is AT LEAST 4-5 months then it should do wonders for him. I may be taking this thread onto too much of a tangent, but do Sheamus and Orton even draw that well? I don't really pay close attention to these things, but did ratings not take a massive...

    Who should Ziggler feud with?

    I ain't saying Ziggler isn't/couldn't be a great heel, just saying it's mainly his tweener actions that have got him over. I blame Swagger lol. He's basically been given everything he needs to get over (except a really over babyface) and has failed. Give ADR a great heel and then he will get...

    Who should Ziggler feud with?

    I've not even heard of this? But yeah it was going great until they stuck him with Swagger, he would still be doing fine as a face had they done with Henry for his first proper fued.

    Who should Ziggler feud with?

    The reason Orton is floating around in midcard obscurity is because of the wellness policy violations and his lack of personality. I've never really been massive on Orton, he's over as hell, but I've always found him to be pretty dull and just fortunate to get great angles (I missed 2009-2010...

    Who should Ziggler feud with?

    But it's not just expectancy, it's the fact that mic work is pretty much the sole reason CM Punk is big at all. He hardly oozes charisma, his look is about as bad as it gets and his ring work, while being great, isn't enough to get him over in itself. People love Punk for being outspoken and...

    Why does wade Barrett....

    I'm watching you Seabs. Always watching.

    Who should Ziggler feud with?

    People don't expect good promos from Dolph though. They wouldn't mind if he came out with the usual babyface stuff because he's not really renowned for doing otherwise. Punk was expected to be dropping pipebombs on everyone and he didn't. And when you take away Punk's promo ability he's nothing...

    Who should Ziggler feud with?

    Look at all the guys you mention though, they have one thing in common: The reason they're all as big as they are/were is because of their talking abilities. Being forced to only do shitty promos is what killed their momentum (well, not sure Miz was forced to :haha:). I'm not saying it has to...

    Who should Ziggler feud with?

    Sorry, Ipod died half way through my long-ass reply -_- I don't really see why a guy not getting big face pops as a heel is justification for not having him be face. The second you win over the smarks you can turn face and instantly be over, the casuals will just latch onto what the smarks are...

    Who should Ziggler feud with?

    He's been getting pops in most cities to be honest. The guy's barely had 5 minutes TV time and manages to get a reaction, he could easily get over with more time. Getting boos with Jericho doesn't really prove anything for me, he's the most over face on the roster.
  16. Rysenberg

    Who should Ziggler feud with?

    Definitely, but it's more for aggressive guys who rely more on their mic work. Ziggler basically doesn't have to change a thing. Besides, Ziggler is over as fuck right now, Christian was sadly getting crickets as a face - as a heel he was getting great heat though.

    Why does wade Barrett....

    I wish it was a daffodil :sad:
  18. Rysenberg

    Who should Ziggler feud with?

    Would be great but they need to switch roles there for me. The two have amazing chemistry though, their match on Raw a few months ago was fantastic.

    Who should Ziggler feud with?

    I don't really want to see D'Z "turn" face as such, I'd rather just see it done kind of organically. Basically the only thing he has to do is ditch Big E and AJ somehow (similar to how he did Vickie) then start facing heels and winning cleanly. He basically has no heel traits atm and is getting...

    Where does Dolph cashing in rank among your all time mark out moments?

    IIRC I marked more for the actual MITB win as it basically confirmed £114 for me lol.
