What do you choose? Assume you can do anything without consequences (even rape and kill if you are into that)

It is quite impressive that WWE managed to botch this up.

>Dolph Ziggler recently spoke with Sky Sports to promote Sunday’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view event.

>On who he wants to see in this year’s Royal Rumble:
>“Scott Steiner. Hearing those sirens go off and him coming out with his headdress – I would love it. He is my dad’s favorite wrestler so maybe I would superkick him out to win my dad’s affection back!”

>win my dad’s affection back!

So thats his fucking problem? Daddy issues?

>Oh yeah, and the first night that I came back, I came out and it was somewhere in Ohio. They wanted me to come back and they wanted me to do this thing with Stephanie and Hunter in the ring. It was my first night back and I wanted to just be out there by myself so I could have five or ten minutes with the fans. They said, “No, we really want Steph out there, too, because we’re doing this thing,” and I had to just go along with it.

>Then, they were talking about me being a baby face. I was like, “I’m not a baby face, I’m a heel.” I said, “The fans want me to be a heel. They love me as a heel.” They said, “No, they’re going to be so happy you’re back, so this is how we’re doing this.” I told them, “It’s only going to last for about five minutes the first night I come back, because they want me to be a heel. I’m a good heel.” They just said, “No, no. They’re going to love you.”

>Then, creative kept trying to push me down everybody’s throat as a baby face. It just kept getting worse every night because the fans kept booing me and booing me. Every night I’d come walking backstage, and I’d look at Vince and I kept telling him we had to change the way we were doing this.

>Then, there was one night that he got so frustrated, and this was after a couple months. I walked down the ramp, the fans are just booing me and booing me, so after, I walked right into Vince and I looked at him. He goes, “You know what, you were right. We’re going to turn you into a heel, we’re going to shove it right down their throats.” I said, “I’ve been telling you this for two months.”

What the fuck is their problem?

Ignore popularity due to wrestling, consider only their potential in terms of looks, attitude, perceived sex skills etc.

Basically imagine they would start their career as porn actresses while being literal whos

I guess Asuka is an obvious answer, she would do good, but there might be better in the current roster. Alexa for instance.

According to Reigns, he used the poor reception to his Royal Rumble match victory in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as fuel.

>"I think it just pushed me. Any time, as a performer and you're in a live situation, and you're dealing with that sort of backlash, it's going to trigger emotions. But, I think, like, anybody who is dedicated and wants to get better at their craft and wants to be the very best in the business, they're going to turn that into motivation and that's what I did. I took that moment, as some people would take it as a negative, but not me. At the end of the day, X amount of thousands of people are screaming, booing at the top of their lungs, and I'm the center of attention, so I must be doing something right. And when it comes to the Royal Rumble, man, nobody Royal Rumbles like me."

On the subject of a possible heel turn, Reigns said that he enjoys the mixed reactions he garners and would prefer that to just getting a chorus of boos from the audience as a heel.

> "I mean, when you win and you're whooping a lot of ass, you're not that angry. Do you know what I mean? Like, I've been successful and whatever we've been doing, it seems to be working and it seems to continue to have loud reactions and nobody has been to more [professional] wrestling shows than me and the other guys on the roster." Reigns added, "I understand reactions and that's one thing that you can be as informed within the [professional] wrestling community and the internet as you want, but there's one thing that I know and that's listening to what kind of reactions are happening. 'Who's in the crowd? Are they kids? Are they women? Are they men? Are they men my age? Are they men older than me? Are they men younger than me?' So there are a lot of different things that are happening there."

- As noted, WWE Champion AJ Styles appeared on Talking Smack last night. As seen in the video above, Styles vented on John Cena's promo on last night's episode of SmackDown, where he savagely ran down Styles and called him "just a guy," while also mocking criticism of not wrestling on the independent circuit. Styles said that Cena "couldn't have made it in the indies" because he can't handle wrestlers like him.

>"I know everything there is about performing in a ring," Styles said. "You name every style, I can get out there and I can do it. John Cena - he cannot. John Cena's strong, he's got a great mind for that ring, but there's more to it than that. John Cena wouldn't last two seconds in an independent ring."
