I actually would like to see Los Lotharios join the Maximum Male Models I think it's a perfect fit, guarantees
they get regular TV time and 4 people is a good number for a stable size.

I'm almost positive Vince is in the early stages of dementia or there is something mentally wrong with him.
It was at a point where he started souring on guys that are classic Vince type guys. Instead of taking on
the challenge of making someone a big star like he did in his prime old Vince seemed to get exasperated
and sour on people quickly.

I mean it would be
Cody
Seth
Cross
Drew
Gunther

Maybe Bron?

But like there isn't a lot of people in the WWE you could believe could maybe pull off a mericle against Roman.

I remember reading back around May or June that the plan was for Drew to beat Roman at Clash of the Castle
might've been around the time where Roman decided to become a part timer. A lot has changed since then so it
will be interesting to see if they continue with that plan.

That hourglass that Scarlett showed Reigns was pretty cool and hopefully it's indicative of things to come. The
Reigns tittle run is waaaay past expiration. Karrion Kross literally coming out of the dumpster to be the guy to
end Reigns tittle run would be completely wild though. I think HHH is the only guy in the world that views Kross
as a face of the company type guy should be interesting to see how things play out.

Lashley
You're right lashey maybe. But even then your next level of guys have either lost to Roman or don't feel like they are on that level.
Like riddle, KO, edge, Nakamurajist don't feel legit enough to take it off Roman.

Maybe randy in a complete emergency.

Bron is definitely the one I'd go with to beat Roman. And I'd do it at the SummerSlam after Roman beats Rock at Mania. It'd be a real passing of the torch moment. Bron becomes face of the company. Roman goes REALLY part time.

But they gotta start building him like, asap. Call him up in the draft next month. Let him have a good Survivor Series performance, good Royal Rumble performance. Have him do something memorable at Mania, like gorilla pressing Omos or something like that.

And I hope they change his last name.

Is it now a guarantee that Drew and Sheamus will be winning?

I feel if Lashley is champion by Survivor series it's a more interesting matchup against Gunther (although Lashley and Sheamus hasn't really been done that much surprisingly). I guess if they want to make Sheamus go over in UK they could just match Gunther win the title back in the few weeks after. It's also possible that Zayn eventually ends up with IC title in the Bloodline storyline.

Why don't they just take the WWE belt off Roman by having a match for just that one? His long streak is with the universal belt. He can lose the WWE one without losing the universal
Fantasy Hoops/Football/Baseball fans..

For info on a forum that actually talks Fantasy sports and not spammed with soliciting leagues, PM me. The more the merrier !

The fastest way to do that is a multi man TLC match. Have two guys grab one belt and pull them down at the same time

Nice beat down segment, especially with Reigns setting it up earlier with the Zayn convo

Sheamus and Gunther promo with the underlings running around was good

That's was like iconic. Like you can imagine rock and Austin and some jobs doing that and it being showed in clips for 20 years that was great.

Imperium vs Brawling Brutes was fantastic. Sheamus is pretty over right now. The 10 man tag with the male models was better than I expected.

Good debut for Sikoa bringing that crazy guy energy to the mic and belonged in the ring against McIntyre despite having a bit more of his dad's blubber than his brothers.

You can always tell one of the Usos has abbs and the other ones a bit more tubby and not cut and always leaves his shirt on. He's definitely more of his dad's build.

Roman Reigns (c) vs Logan Paul at Crown Jewel. No chance Logan wins both titles but I honestly hope they find a way to get the WWE title on him.
