LEGION Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 ^ On SmackDown you can win a world title. That's a big plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St★rstruck Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Well yeah, any given star seems to have a better chance at becoming World Champion than Universal Champion right now because of Lesnar's lame ass...but aside from that, would people still have the same feeling towards SmackDown and "how much better" they book their talent than RAW's? The way I see it, not everyone is gonna get to shine and not every star is gonna get booked the way you want them to or how they "should". For practically every "well-deserving" star that has decent to good booking, there's always someone else (like Dillinger, Rusev, Revival, Gallows n' Gun, or whoever else a fan deems as underrated) getting booked nearly the complete opposite or "just not good enough". Take The Club, for instance; they've been booked pretty crappy for the majority of their career in WWE so far, although I've never been a big fan of them to begin with. However, it wasn't until recently when they reformed w/ Bálor that they started receiving more TV time and winning more matches here and there, but who's to say they won't be treated the exact same (or even worse, if possible) on SD if they were to get drafted?

BestInTheWorld614 Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Why would they put Bryan on the same show as Reigns? Unless Vince is starting to change his mind about Reigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Are the writers on RAW much different from the writers on SD? I'm asking because I'm always seeing posts like "I think ____ should go to SD because they'll be treated better...", etc. Fans act like SD can do no wrong when it comes to the booking of particular superstars, yet they claim guys Iike Rusev and Tye Dillinger are being wasted right now. Would anyone say they'll be used "correctly" on RAW, or what? I've always been a SD guy tbh. I've always found it the easier and chiller show to enjoy, especially since the brand split. It's had a bit of a slump, but I'm kinda hoping sending a few guys over will help revamp it a bit. Also selfishly I'd rather a few of my favourite guys be on the show I find easier to enjoy.

The Nerd Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 That look strong thing really blew up more than what it needed to. Reigns can make himself look strong. Dude delivers in the ring for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically same. I always have fonder memories of my favorite wrestlers doing well on SmackDown over the years, so it's easier for me to forgive their 'slump' periods. Hell, if we can trade Orton and Jinder off the show, that's a huge opportunity for them to bounce back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepia Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 He's not wrong though in all fairness. He's not the only guy in history, and his work does speak for itself, but Bestintheworld isn't incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGION Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 He clearly isn't in a favorable position, since they don't really manage to hide his weaknesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nerd Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Yeah, thats fine and dandy. Roman is more than solid in the ring. He helped get Braun over with their program. He put over Balor before Balor beat him. Took the L to Seth at MITB. Braun beat him clean I believe. Reigns definitely deserves more credit than he gets. Hes not even booked like Superman anymore. But ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 He's put in a position and they give him favoured opportunities. I think that is what Bestintheworld meant and you cannot really argue that. Dude is hella talented and no one here is discrediting the stuff you listed AOL, but he is certainly favoured. That much is blatant. I like the dude a lot if I'm being honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nerd Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 I just didnt like the Superman comment. I think thats overly used in regards to Reigns. Even Cena isnt booked like Superman anymore. But they put many people in favored positions. Idk just seemed off to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestInTheWorld614 Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 I used the Superman comment for times when Reigns took out the whole League of Nations. That whole feud with Sheamus is a perfect example of what I was saying and how Reigns is put in favorable positions to look overly great. He is protected, and Im not saying it hasnt been done before but you cant say it hasnt been down for Reigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nerd Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 That League of Nations this was like.....not even recently I dont think. Hes not booked like that currently. Actually the whole past year hes been booked more believable or credible. Theyve definitely been careful with him this past year. I was very clear not to say he hasnt been put in favorable positions. That wasnt really my issue with what you said. It was really the Superman comment. And why wouldnt he be put in good positions? Hes groomed to be the face of the company lol Did people complain about Austin back in the day for putting over like nobody at all. Very minimal list compared to Reigns and even Cena. But because Austin was cooler or edgy its not frowned upon. I never understood that. Its a double standard in my opinion. Same with Cena Backlash to this day, its a double standard. But hey is what it is I guess. I dont have an issue with Reigns booking. Now Brock, that is somebody you guys need to be complaining about. Thats the culprit.

St★rstruck Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 I think the difference with Austin, is that his ascension to the main event level was a lot more natural and organic than Reigns' was. Not only that, but Austin's popularity at the time was nearly untouchable and was really only rivaled by stars like The Rock. More than anything else, Austin seemed to be a hell of a lot more entertaining on a consistent basis than Reigns ever has or will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nerd Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Yeah hes more entertaining by miles but still he didnt put any over really and that always bothered me a bit. Jericho got a minor push from his though so thats always a special thing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St★rstruck Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 I don't recall Austin really putting anyone over either, at least not when a title was at stakes, which was like all the time. Hell he barely put over The Rock. It wasn't until their third WM match that The Rock finally beat him on that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nerd Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Yeah lol I remember being happy af Rock won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestInTheWorld614 Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 When Braun was recently destroying everything and everyone, people wanted him to continue to climb up the ladder and win the title. Thats the difference between Austin and Reigns/Cena. When your whole fan base enjoys the performer that you are pushing, no one is going to complain about the expense of others.

The Nerd Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Until they gave Braun the title and then people would per usual start complaining about him dominating too much. And want a new champion. Its truly a vicious cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faster Than Light Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 I agree with Kazu on this, although he could have worded it way better. Austin was really cool and super entertaining. He can put over as little people as possible if he keeps rekting stuff and being really entertaining. Roman is groanworthy and would rather other people be pushed instead of him. There is a difference between the two. People who bring up Austin tend to act like it's a hard thing to fathom. Plus what Starstruck said about his rise to the top being organic rather than forced. It's not a double standard at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
