Ahahahahaha

Aaaaaaahahahahahaha

Hahahahahahahahaha

This could not be a more perfect situation that is emblematic of WWE's problems right now. They FINALLY have someone who is getting over and can be a huge star and they have some part timer come in and stomp him and ruin all his momentum.

AND ON A SAUDI SHOW OF ALL PLACES! NOT EVEN ON A REAL PPV. JUST MIDDLE OF A THURSDAY SHOW.

Think in a fucking decade, who can they possibly have come back in a Goldberg or Undertaker role? They have gotten NOBODY over as a star. Not a single person. And it's because of stupid shit like this.

And I ain't even mad. I've given up on this company a long time ago largely for this reason and it's been years and they just keep doing it.

How do people actually watch this show?

I dunno, maybe I'm crazy but I vastly prefer the possibility to Wyatt getting his win back from Cena than him jobbing out to Roman.

Assuming the route is Fiend/Cena and Roman/Goldberg.

Rambling Rabbit was once about to reveal The Fiend's weakness to Daniel Bryan.

Rambling Rabbit is a jackrabbit that was crushed by a hammer.

Therefore, the Fiends weakness is a Jackhammer.

It's all right there.

Someone posted on the PWB that if they really wanted the Fiend to lose so badly he should have just laid down in the middle of the ring and let Goldberg pin him.

I think that would have been more interesting

Still could've used the opportunity to elevate someone on the full time roster by having them dethrone The Fiend.

Instead, Super Showdown pushed up and coming stars like Lesnar, Goldberg, and Taker.

Good point.

Maybe they shouldn't let the 50 year old who can't life someone up like that because he's too winded from a two minute match be in the ring, let alone be pushed as the top act in the company over promising talent they're trying to get over.

CAUSE WE GOTTA TRY TO GET ROMAN OVER AGAIN! I PROMISE WITH GOLDBERG IT'LL WORK THIS TIME!

I feel like if this was to put Roman over they would've just put him over Fiend straight up at a different show. This feels more like just appealing to the Saudis, who want to see people like Goldberg and Taker win everything because they don't know any of these new losers.

actually feel like this is an underdiscussed aspect of this decision, yeah. But I also think you need to consider that the Fiend has been an abject failure - crowds are silent to him and ratings on FOX are below USA Network ratings. The people who like the Fiend are the hardcore WWE fans. As in, the audience that is going to show up at Wrestlemania. So you have the worst case scenario - a champ the general public has no interest in, who is actively running off fans, but who the Wrestlemania audience would hate Roman for beating.

Spear vs Spear is literally THE most compelling feud Roman has had in literally years.

He's been feuding over dog shit for chrissake

The "hardcore WWE fans" are the only fans WWE has left...BECAUSE OF SHIT LIKE THIS! The booking system itself is rotten, and Vince assumes "What can possibly go wrong" when no one is a star, and the brand itself is poison.

Yeah, let's give the title to Goldberg. No one cares, we're giving Drew the push we should have given him last year. Nothing's wrong....

*Ratings drop below 3.0*

*Send Rock*

*Ratings back below 3.0 after he's done*

Shit: why didn't people stick around? We gave them Brock Lesnar as champion over a sympathetic babyface I never wanted to push...what could possibly go wrong...
