Re: Rollins and Ambrose just doesn't have the star power!
Yeah, screw Dean and Seth, let's have 5 more years of Cen vs Orton. That will surely pick the product right up and thrill the fans with the incredible freshness of that match up. Seth vs Dean any day of the week over more of those tired old match ups.
No-one asked for Cena vs Orton. Rollins and Ambrose, not implying that they suck, but they lack STAR power. Last time Rollins was watchable was when Orton returned. The feud went on for too long and the authority cheated too long. Orton was basically a filler, to keep Rollins interesting--once I realized that Orton never stood a chance the feud sucked. If Rollins would've beat him, once, convincingly, we're singing a different tune. In order, to sell an event and make the product watchable, stars must shine and stars must be created. Ambrose cannot create Rollins and vice-versa because they are not stars yet. John Cena is creating a star in Kevin Owens, I wouldn't be half as excited about Owens if he came out and dropped Ambrose or Rollins in his finisher. In a year, ya'll will be blaming bad booking for Rollins and Ambrose's failure as usual. When the truth is WWE overestimated their starpower, like they did CM Punk, when they should've let that leech go the first time.
The problem with Rollins and Ambrose is that Triple H, Stephanie and even Kane are too involved in their feud. WWE thinks Triple H's and Stephanie's star power (not really as high as she thinks) will rub off on them. Instead they need to let Rollins and Ambrose go on their own and become stars.
This is true too. Then again, Rollins was absolutely terrible and unbearable when Triple H and Steph disappeared for awhile. We know the TV execs are requesting their appearance. Rollins and Ambrose can't sell a PPV without them, they can barely sell it with them. Steph and Trip sure ain't no Vince and the corporation and Ambrose sure ain't Austin. Austin was a star, Ambrose is a wannabe, who should be in the midcard.
Both Rollins and Ambrose have barely wrestled one year as singles wrestlers. They are talented and they will be stars in the future.
As much as I hope so, for Rollins anyway, I just don't see it.
Some folks don't realize how much stock WWE has put into Orton and Cena over the years and how many bodies it took to get them where they are today to become the draws that they are.
However, every investment does not always work. Rollins and Ambrose will never draw like Orton and Cena did in their prime, because they don't have the look. The look makes up about 2/3 of starpower. Talent is about 1/3. The Rock, despite his poor acting, makes box-office hits because he looks like an action star. Kids love Cena because he looks like a hero. Ambrose and Rollins look like midcarders. That's why they lack starpower.
I think they did a great job building Rollins up and imo he,s more credible as wwe champ then the likes of miz,sheamus,del rio or even guys like orton,batista and cena when they won there first title. 5 years from now Rollins will be a megastar but it takes time establishing yourself.
Ambrose I agree with theyve done a horrible job with him.
I disagree with the part about Orton, Batista and Cena. I do agree with the rest of it. Rollins' credibility is not the issue, he's just... boring. He's a robot, who adds nothing extra to his gimmick, it's just the same generic heel crap. I think that's what McMahon was referring to when he said something about brass rings. Nobody these days is reaching for 'em.
:bryanlol He's probably more ripped than Orton currently is.
Also, OP:
Consider it, please.
You're delusional. Look at Orton's, legs, abs and arms. Ambrose ain't even in his backyard. Orton's got thick, toned muscles. His thigh muscles are bigger than Ambrose's arm. Ambrose is just water retention -- sign of 'roid usage, friend.
Thing is WWE hasnt built any stars. They have an old, boring and done roster. In doing so they have pinned their hopes on the Shield but none of them are good enough. Now the WWE are in the situation where they are starless. There are no draws, just mediocrity.
I agree with this. I do believe Reigns can take the WWE places, one day. He has everything that Rollins and Ambrose lack.
Oh shut up don't you have anything better to do with your life
Hypocrisy at its finest.
