Didn't he leave because he felt he'd hit a brick wall though?

He thought he could be in a better position (and he could) so he asked Johnny ace for a release and e got it.

So he felt he'd hit a brick wall in terms of advancement in WWE then? :P Or, more specifically, that he'd hit a glass ceiling I suppose.

He felt that he hit a brick wall unlike the other who did hit a brick wall

Moneymaker

I loved MVPs run as US champion and they absolutely killed him with a ridiculous losing streak.

Ball dropped big time by WWE. He had what it took to be a top guy imo.

Soft Falling Rain

I always rated Carlito and I always thought he was unfairly tarred with the lazy brush. I think this year's HOF summed up why they didn't like him; the fact that he couldn't give a **** about authority and politics. That's what really killed him rather than "laziness".

I don't like The Shield as babyfaces. I just can't get into the idea that I should care about these guys getting the sh*t kicked out of them at a numbers disadvantage when this is exactly what they have done to everyone on the roster since their debut.

Ambrose isn't suited to a babyface role in my opinion; Reigns is suited to it but they are making it so obvious that he is being groomed to be the next main event star that it is turning me against him; Rollins is the only one I find I can accept as a babyface, although I liked him in NXT as a babyface so that may be a factor there.

Ambrose won't be face for long IMO

I think Reigns could leave and join Evolution as Ambrose is the obvious choice to leave and turn heel

True but Reigns would be more of a shock I think and I would like to see Ambrose with Heyman

andyman

Ambrose doesn't need a mouthpiece though. He's very good on the mic on his own.

Ape Lincoln

Ambrose is not a Paul Heyman guy tbh. Would love to see him mature into a main event Jake Roberts type; evil bas**rd who is a very credible threat to the babyface champion.

CSF

Ambrose is defo the one turning heel. Hopefully not to join Evolution though because it wouldn't suit his character.

Couldn't agree more. Ambrose is at his best when he is a lunatic. Evolution would be the exact opposite.

Mr.Saturn

On a related note, I'm actually starting to tire of Reigns. Rollins has broken through a bit, but feels increasingly like The Shield were only kept going as to leave Reigns cooking a bit longer, and as consequence, feels a bit 'Super Roman......and others'.

I quite liked Renee Young as an interviewer on RAW but her commentary on NXT makes me wish terrible things would happen to her. I just find her infuriatingly smug and superior which I'd be fine with if she didn't seem to be trying to be a face and she has an irritating habit of talking over her fellow announcers.

Also she kind of betrays her gender:

Worst: Seriously, Cut It Out, Renee

Renee’s explanation of why Sasha continues to be okay with Charlotte is a great example of why Renee should not be doing color on women’s matches. I don’t know what Jeff Dunham Facebook fan page she clicked “like” on to get her material, but if I never again heard her break out chestnuts like “THERE’S JUST SOMETHING IN A WOMAN’S BRAIN THAT LETS HER PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT SHE REMEMBERS” it’d be too soon.

Soft Falling Rain

That's actually a hilarious line imo, promote the woman. :-p

savemejebus

The whole Bryan, Brie, Stephanie thing is really putting me off watching Raw, the entire storyline just makes me want to change the channel. Bryan should have been stripped of the title once he was injured, it's kinda pathetic to see where the story has gone

Moneymaker

It's done him no favours alright and neither did the segment last night imo.

SureYWouldntYa

They're just stalling. He may be ready for MITB, he may not, so they're not doing anything definite until they know for sure

Rjd2

Once he started working with Kane, he was always going to lose some steam sadly.:(

savemejebus

I would doubt that he is drawing any money against Kane so I don't understand why WWE would risk rushing him back, his chasing the title that he never lost after a tourney would generate a lot more interest than another yawn match with Kane

Vision of Disorder

Only getting to watch NXT Takeover now (I know, I know, give me a break, I'm in the middle of a move/new job).

Anyway, I still like The Ascension and they're doing really well with a gimmick that could easily sink like a stone. I think they'd be worth a run on the main roster as a team who go after heels and faces indiscriminately, sorta like an old school update (oxymoron alert) on the APA.

Sirsok

While watching the opener of takeover I realised how ridiculous the whole concept of wrestling is.....A South African man pretending to be English pretend fighting a Mexican gangster, under the apprehension that they dislike each other when in reality they are prob really friendly, while the crowd who know that they are not really hitting each other and are probably friendly go along with it.

I suppose that can be said for any drama but with wrestling it just seems like a weird and wonderful concept

The only problem is they've done the 'wronged babyface chasing the title' to death.

Not that thats stopped them before.

It is booking 101 though, no point in changing what isn't broken.

Also they could have put a twist on it and done the reverse of Shawn vs Razor from WM 10.

Genuinely not sure if this is unpopular or not but I've been decidedly underwhelmed by Paige since she won the title. She's young and promising obviously but right now she's more indicative of the lack of depth in the Divas division than a saviour for it.
