    Glad to see Rusev back.

    Give the Fiend the strap while he's still hot. And let him hold it until Wrestlemania where he drops it to Demon Balor.
    corbin is fine as a midcard heel, **** i'll go 1 further and even say he's a good midcard heel. the xcessive tv time and main event spots made him seem worse than he is.

If the ONLY think even remotely interesting about him is the fact that he's Maria's husband, then WWE might as well play to his strengths.
    or they could've just you know, released them and give the time/spot to somebody else.

    kind of i guess. i mean his whole deal was pretty much he was a generic wwe type, which worked to get heat in an indy like RoH at the time.

    and it really didn't mean much. timing is everything and wwe never seems to get it right with bork.

    is the cabinet something people actually want to see somebody else do a take off on?? i don't believe the cabinet is remembered all that fondly.

    Honestly, while I really like Candice, she shouldn't win it YET. She just lost clean and decisively to Io not even a month ago, so for her to turn around and beat Shayna so soon, nah the turnaround is too short. She needs built up more first.

    Congrats to Roderick for finally pulling it off.

    YEAH, DAKOTA'S BACK, WOOO!!!

    Xia Li needs to be on TV more.

    Xia improves everytime I she shows up. I'm glad the botch didn't knock her confidence.

    I really want to see a Imperium vs Undisputed Era vs OC (with Balor) best of brands faction War Games.

    I liked Corbin as the 'Indy Killer' hating heel. He is actually solid on the mic (if you watched talking smack) when he doesn't have to shout the generic lame stuff the WWE writers room come up with.

    Mike Kanellis might of fit in with Undisputed Era back before he was used as a comedy heel. Perhaps Mike finally has enough and joins the OC or something.

    I enjoyed AoP as dominate heels on NXT but they were meh on the main roster. I feel like New Day or Usos could get some great matches out of AoP with the right booking.

    WWE times Brocks loses to Rollins at Wrestlemania and Summerslam ... which theoretically are 2 of their biggest cards of the year. It made sense, and gave Rollins a couple big high profile wins. It's still solid use of Lesnar, all things considered. We'll see whether or not the same can be said for him and Kofi.

    War Games is close by, and with both the Undisputed Era and Imperium around we are getting a couple viable candidates for who might be competing in the cage. Though given how much gold the UA has, they might not want them competing in the cage unless they drop at least a few of the belts.

    I think part of the problem with AoP on the main roster is that they aren't quite the monsters they were in NXT. On NXT where a good portion of the roster are fairly small, they are very believable as monsters. But on the main roster, they're just not THAT big. Over 6 foot tall and around 300 pounds is BIG... but there are a descent number of people as big or bigger. Not saying they can't get over... but it's harder.

    AOP can't get over by just being big. They need to be a part of a storyline.

    Being the Knights of King Corbin gives them purpose.

    Being the enforcers for Eric Bishoff and his New Smackdown Order gives them purpose.

    Being protection for a heel Seth Rollins would give them purpose.

    Rusev and AOP is cool, but I have no faith in Vince pushing Rusev hard enough to make that work.

    I thought they were setting up Rhea Ripley as a top contender. So the Candice Swerve came out of nowhere for me. But she hasn't had a real feud with Shayna yet I guess.

    Candice is getting a shot on TV, but I think they might be saving Rhea for an actual PPV match.

    I don't mind Candice getting the shot. At this point I'll accept anyone who can take the title off Shanya.

    I definately agree that they need to be more than just big to get over. I'm just saying it'll be a little harder on the main roster than it was in NXT for a variety of reasons... size beng one of them, but certainly not the ONLY issue.

    But again, I think a mouth piece will help. Be it a manager or being associated with another wrestler who can work the mic in some sort of stable, I think it'll help compensate for some of their short comings.

    the problem was the title was already dead when seth won it at mania. people were more happy to just see it off of bork than they were to see seth win it. the title has honestly not recovered. there this false premise that beating bork will make somebody a huge star but that just hasn't happened, borks done far more damage than he's helped anybody.

    well that goes w/o saying. i'm sure russev would get over like he always does and they'd fuk it up like they always do.

    size isn't an issue if they have half a brain. the only team to match up with them in size are the war vikings and heavy machinery. so just keep war vikings on a different roster and have AoP destroy heavy machinery. oh and don't have them get beat up with 10 other guys as an afterthought by braun & roman who are trying to fight each other.

    there's also the bludgeon brothers but lets just pray they go their separate ways after the stuff with roman & brianson.

    Harper and Rowan would of made a good stable with the Viking Raiders if they were heels. Rowan loves his viking culture as well.
