So Kang didn't get his ass whooped all over the ring at TLC? :jbhmm:


We gonna act like Kang didn't put Reigns ovah? :jbhmm:


Reigns getting whooped at TLC was the only time he seemingly set something in motion to put somebody over as the next guy by choice rather than force. And remember the angle isn't over yet.

Otherwise, we've literally been sitting through HHH and the Authority shyt for about 5 years with nobody benefitting from it.

  • Bryan got over despite the Authority being around. Their interaction wasn't even needed and drug on for 4 months too long. Him fighting Bryan at Mania didn't help establish Bryan when everyone was pissed that Bryan didn't win the Rumble in the first place. It was a band-aid to cover an obvious example of them not listening to the fans.
  • Rollins was supposed to be THE MAN when he got that belt at mania and didn't live up to his potential largely because the Authority was all in the videos. They overshadowed him damn near weekly and made him look like a figurehead rather than the top guy. Him getting injured may be the best thing to happen to him from a long term perspective of he doesn't come back with the Authority.
  • Orton was wasted with them similar to how Rollins was.
  • They singlehandedly fukked up the biggest organic angle they had post-Attitude Era with Punk by him jumping in the picture. You could write a dissertation on how much they dropped the ball (all centered around HHH showing up) with that angle.
  • Stephanie slaps around announcers and gas emasculated every man she has come in contact with for the past few years with no payback all while shouting "Be A Star" and "Divas are great too!"
How many more examples do you need breh? :usure:

He was at the NXT show in London three days later like "I've had my ass whooped before, I'll get it whooped again so... :yeshrug:"

Rollins was given plenty of shine, Kang did all he could to put him ovah, not his fault the crowd wasn't connecting

Bryan was also dependent on Kang because of the nuclear heat he drew, that WM30 payoff doesn't happen without Kang's heat

Rollins was at his best the few times he was out there alone without depending on/sharing time with the Authority. The corporate champ thing can work, but the champ has to be an established threat on his own.

Bryan was already on the :pachaha: level around Royal Rumble time when he was fighting Wyatt. At best, HHH helped sustain that going into Mania, but it wouldn't have even been necessary if he just won the RR in the first place. Nobody brings up that build or even that match as highlights of Bryan's career in the way McMahon can be used for Audtin.

Other than a select few companies, the WWE is still referred to as the WWF in the mainstream :mjlol:



:myman:


Took me all the way to maybe 2007 to get used to saying WWE, and it still doesn't feel right
