    I don’t think they are stupid enough to know why the crowd doesn’t react “properly.” I just don’t think they care and they will do what they want anyway

    Partly why I don't have the Network anymore. I know my 10 quid is hardly going to make a dent, I just don't feel comfortable giving money to someone who, for the most part, don't give two shits about their fans.

    Also, in before the "I'm sure Vince will be crushed" posts.

    I'm by no means advocating that you must spend your money on the Network, but I do find it somewhat funny that the one thing WWE offers that feels like a total steal for fans is the Network itself.

    For me, it's not worth it. Sure, it offers a hell of a lot and is totally worth the £10/$12 that you pay. But for me, it's not worth it for NXT alone. And that's not a dig at NXT.

    I'm still stunned that Rowan has lasted this long on in the company and has been a tag champion.

    It literally might be the most tone deaf direction the wwe has ever gone. There I say worse than reigns. Cause this doesnt make a lick of sense. Its not even Becky being a heel is the worse part is that she's a heel and Charlotte is the face. No one wants to root for Charlotte over becky!

    Now fortunately I think becky is gonna play a great heel (where as reigns is a garbage face)

    I'm afraid of the 2nd part too. A emmalina situation in a way.

    I heard a few wrestling "analyst" people thinking positively in that by the end of the month, cause becky is so good, that she will end up convincing us that heel becky is great.

    She might turn this shit into gold but in the end... how are they going to get people to cheer charlotte?

    WWE or should I say Vince, is too afraid to actually turn anyone that sells a lot of merchandise heel.

    The only way I can see Becky being booed is by having her attack Asuka. She's the only woman on the roster the smarky-er fans like that might get her some boos. But then again, they've kind of ruined her too.

    I don't understand how they can get something so wrong.

    Sami Zayn, Becky Lynch, AJ Styles, The Usos...hell, they teased it with Bayley...some of the purest babyfaces WWE has had all turned heel before Roman. And in the case of the Usos and AJ Styles, they're way better off for it. They can cut edgy face promos and it works; AJ could have cut those "Brock hates you" promos and the crowd would have LOVED it. Add to the list guys like Seth Rollins, Braun, etc who then made natural face turns after; its the people who desperately need a heel run (Bobby Roode, Roman, Finn) who are the ones languishing.

    Usos were a big hit with kids. AJ was probably one of the top merch movers when he turned. People will buy good heel merch (see: Yep shirts) if the story works.

    I don't the Uso's sold much merch. They were pretty dead when they turned (thus the turn).

    And I don't if AJ really had taken off yet back then.

    To me it comes down to I hope the wwe hasn't decided to make Charlotte the reigns of the division. Permanent face no matter what going forward

    This Saturday should be something. Probably not good, but def better than last year. I'm thinking Psycho Clown loses his mask, though it could easily be Park since the match was called off for CMLL's anniversary show.
