The press release confirming the renewal of WWE w/ NBC programming doesn't say anything about moving Smackdown to Tuesday's.

4MB...add Cena...they suddenly become legit. Just an idea.

Cena, Orton, Reigns and Diggler. All guys who have been face, but are much better as Heels. Would make an outstanding stable IMO

WWE: Smackdown live on Tuesday nights?

Idk if its going to happen or not, but I would like for it to be live every Tuesday.

Punk returns and goes full heel. Cena joins. All become Heyman guys (again...for Punk) with Lesnar and Cesaro.

Now that would be cool!



BTW, have AJ join that stable, I think they need an evil chick just to flex their power in the Diva's division as well.

Vince is no longer a billionaire after losing 340 million in ONE day . Thanks a lot Cena it's all your fault.

So he's gone from 1.6 billion earlier this year to in the 700 million range. No wonder he seems pissy all the time.

Well Cena has been on Smackdown a lot lately. I guess that's WWEs only plan to get ratings up for the show. Heres an idea how about WWE writers quit being lazy and actually give a damn about Smackdown and make it interesting(That would get ratings up).I mean how about making Smackdown a show to advance the IC and US title storylines?????

This is why I think Cena goes Heel. Desperate times for the WWE. Like him or not, Cena is the only full time guy the non-mainstream wrestling fan's give a shit about. Hogan, Rock, Austin, Cena. Guys that can pull in interest from non IWC viewers. Without those extra viewers, the ratings tank. They have to do something to gain interest

How much do you think he would get if he sold the WWE empire?

Not quite a billion considering his entire worth is basically what WWE would sell for. The two are tied together.

When is Vinny Mac making another appearance on Raw or a PPV? Anyone miss John Laurinitis?

AJ in the Cena/Punk/Lesnar/Cesaro faction would be crazy. They could have her hit on Brock Lesnar and just see what happened next.

Well I know why Rusev has only been beating up black people. WWE is looking to reform a modern day Nation of Domination with R Truth, Xavier Woods, Big E, Titus ONeill, and Kofi Kingston.

This will only work if they are a HEEL stable IMO. Also I think this is an amazing idea

 

[johnson]

I agree it only works as a heel stable. The problem is the only guys there I think can legitimately pull of being a heel are Big E and Titus. Kofi...no way! Xavier Woods can't really pull off anything except being irrelevant. R Truth I suppose could, but his character has been so strange over the years I'm not sure it would work anymore. Mark Henry would be sick.

I like the idea, but without Kofi. Dude is a face all the way around.

 

[Mistaken4193]

I agree with both of you guys about Kofi he is too nice to be a believable heel. I would like to see Mark Henry be the leader of it since he was part of the original Nation. And with him as leader their group motto could be THATS WHAT WE DO!!!!!

 

[futballiscool]

Really excited about the possibility of a new NOD type faction.

Titus is still a rookie.. he's green in the ring and hasn't developed a real persona yet.. but I honestly think he has tons untapped potential. I think he can be a breakout star in a year or two.

Kofi's a quality worker but his face character is pretty bland. It'd be an expieriment, but a change in direction could do him some good. It worked for this guy...

 

[jeffro151]

The Rock also was a legacy wrestler unlike Kofi.

BTW, you Cena haterz may wanna change the channel or you might get your feelings hurt in just a second.

Saw that article today and thought it tied into the financial discussions on here. The jist of it is WWE is taking a big hit on the stocks because Vince vastly overhyped WWE's potential to investors. Basically, hubris was his downfall.

HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS!!!!!
