Batista's heel turn at Bragging Rights 2009 with him saying "I'm tired of my friends stabbing me in the back and I'm gonna rip your head off Rey" and Rey pleading with Batista by using his first name was great stuff.

The issue isn't that Solo sucks. It's that both Tama Tonga and especially Jacob Fatu are miles ahead of him, and more worthy of being top guys.

Solo is the 3rd best worker in the Bloodline 2.0 and the only reason he isn’t dead last is because Tanga Loa can’t go 5 seconds without botching

Isn’t that the point of the character though? He’s not worthy of being tribal chief, he’s not Roman, that’s literally what his character is meant to be so why are we mad at him for playing it correctly?

I’m glad y’all talked about Adam Pearce because I think he’s the best authority figure they’ve had in more than a decade. He’s believable, and you kind of root for him a little bit. It just feels like you believe his motivations when he like, suspends somebody or makes a match. Like it feels congruent and a part of the show.

I find with finishers is it seems most of the time wrestlers can only win a match by either hitting their finisher or by the surprise roll up. I am probably part of a very small minority when thinking that I'd like to see some occasional wins that aren't somebody's finisher...

There's NOTHING Roman can do against the new bloodline. For a long time Roman struggled to win his title defenses, needing interference from the bloodline to cheat his opponents. Meanwhile, Jacob Fatu has beaten Cody, Randy and Kevin Owens all at the same time just by himself. As it stands, Jacob Fatu is enough to handle Roman. Even if Roman would team up with Cody, Randy and KO, these guys have lost every single match against the new bloodline. I'm not happy one bit to reach this conclussion.

Hot Take: Mil Mascaras was never eliminated from the 1997 Royal Rumble. He exited the ring going between the top and middle ropes, climbed to the top of the turnbuckle, and jumped to the outside without ever re-entering the ring. He never went over the top rope, and he definitely didn't eliminate himself. (Or if he was trying to eliminate himself, he did a bad job.)

The thing about Dom's character work is that so much of it is grounded on who his father is - almost universally beloved clean-cut baby face who literally fought for his custody in a wrestling ring. That, I think, is what pushed him to the next level when he turned heel - it just wouldn't have had the same effect without that 20-year-plus history. This is not to say Dom isn't doing great character work, he is - but a huge amount is a direct correlation to his father's character in itself, & can't be viewed in a vacuum like Rey's own career could.

Rey in WCW had a great run even when he worked unmasked. He also had great character work with Pentagon JR in Lucha Underground. In 2009 his fued with Jericho was good, but his run in 2002 against Kurt Angle was even better. This plus the work he did with Eddie Guerrero was all better than or at leaast equal to Dom's carrer to date in large part just because Dom can't cut a real promo without getting boo'ed heavily.

Hot idea... I think they should do something incredibly different and have Dean Ambrose return to WWE while at the same time Jon Moxley is wrestling in AEW. Both companies don't acknowledge the other character/performer exists. And he never acknowledges it either. I think it would be a cool thing to see over a year.

People wanted Reigns to turn heel back during the big dog days, but if I remember correctly people thought he was main event worthy. Seems like Solo's detractors just don't think he's good enough in the ring. I do think we have higher expectations for in-ring now than we did in 2017ish.
