All-Purpose News Thread Part II

dom somehow found a gimmick where he gets booed everywhere but everyone still adores him

It's one of those things where WWE finally has their fan base doing whatever they want them to do.

Everybody knows he's a good kid, but they'll play along and treat him like the biggest shithead on earth because he does a good job playing it. Also helps that the boys play into it even though kayfabe is essentially dead. (Honestly, I don't see why you'd put Dom working fan events at all)

The power of social media. Anybody can be a huge asshole in the ring, but then any fan can also log onto their account and see how great they are in real life. Charity work, pics with the kiddies, or just hanging in the back with other talent.

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

I'll add that it's good Dom doesn't have to do his, "Dom's in the doghouse" segments anymore.

He was nearing Jey Uso territory of corpsing so many times as a heel that he accidentally turns himself face lol. He cracked a smile so many times in those segments lol.

Ehh I kinda like my heels to try to be quiet about doing good shit. Honestly I don't think a guy like Dom should even be doing meet and greet events. You have plenty of babyfaces for that.

Although there's a way you can do them as a heel, stay in character, and still give the fan a good experience.

There's a video of MJF meeting a wheelchair bound fan at a meet and greet and he gets in an argument with them, then says "I'm gonna do something you can't do" and stands up. People around them had an oh shit reaction and the fan laughed it off having the time of their life. I think that's what a lot of people don't realize about those with permanent disabilities. A lot of them would rather you don't treat them with kids gloves and roast them like a normal person, because they are normal.

I wonder if Dom can pull off being an eventual baby face. He has to reunite with Rey before his career comes to a close.

 

[Troublesome 85]

Reading WWE is interested in Garcia as well.

You could potentially have Liv dump him saying it was all a ruse to use him.

Then have him slowly make up with Rey and become friends with Rhea again

Garcia who?

I would not be surprised if they revealed in kayfabe as well that Rhea's married, and the same with Dom.

Is it bad that I woke today to the Japan Earthquake news with the Tsunami warning, and read it as "TSUUUUUU-NAMMMAAAYYYYYY" in Michael Cole's voice?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Garcia who?

Daniel Garcia.

problem with turning him face is that he's gonna get booed anyway.

Dom could literally save a puppy on air and he'd still get booed

It would take a while and he would need to eat a lot of shit and hit rock bottom

If you do it right and he hugs it out with Rey in the end, they can get him cheered.

Especially because people don't legitimately hate him. It isn't X-pac heat. Crowds are just having fun playing along

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

I don't see Dom working with Rey again unless Rey plans to keep working for a loooonnnnngggg time. I think it's a lot more likely that Rey ends his career on his back for Dom. I think the big question is, would Dom be willing to unmask Rey for heat? (I think Rey would do it for Dom)

Dom's way too over right now to shotgun a face turn. He can make it until at least Wrestlemania with this run with Liv vs. Rhea, if not farther. After that, you can conceivably elevate him to the main event as an Edge type "Ultimate opportunist" chicken shit heel that can snag a title with MITB or cheating or whatever.

Give him 2-3 years doing that. You can probably run with him as a heel awhile longer, but realistically, as is the case with all great heels, the fans are gonna turn him babyface on their own.

Yes, when you in fact should've read it either Pat McAfee's or Wade Barrett's voice.

Both Set Rollins and Dakota Kai were written off tv to give time off to rehab injuries.

first woman to legit be a draw in NA?

Sable was a legitimate draw but for completely different reasons.

Out of the 4 Horsewomen, Becky always seemed like the one who would accomplish the least as I don't think WWE were as high on her as they were the other three, but she's the most successful of them all.

Becky was going to be Nattie. Hold the title a few times, but someone who others could work to get over.

see i'm not sure about Sable. she had the ratings during the MNW, but i don't think she was the reason people were buying tickets to the show.

Becky def reached that level

Bayley ended up being that, though she has had higher highs then Nattie ever had.

Always be unfortunate her top main roster run when she was at her best happened with no crowds.

Remember Soft Ground Wrestling in Uganda? Turns out the whole thing is a scam.

Bayley has been pretty heavily featured for really her whole career. She’s the only one of the four who doesn’t seem to have any aspirations outside of WWE. She can probably go as far as she wants to backstage.
