When did Vince Russo go back to wwe?

**Xno Kappa** · 2014-06-02 22:11

Not like this....

**arus2001** · 2014-06-02 22:11

Eh, this is pretty much just picking up what got delayed by Punk bailing and forcing the WM rewrite. Given the hate on the authority and their treatment of DB, shifting some of that onto Rollins could have some potential. But I suspect he'll be fighting Ambrose more than Reigns.

**Exoduso** · 2014-06-02 22:12

Ambrose vs Rollins
HHH vs Reigns

Where does that leave Orton? Back in the title picture? -_-
Good job disbanding the stable that made the WWE even worth watching for the past two PPVs... I honestly don't think any one of those three is ready for a singles run, they needed to stay together a bit longer.

**Krandor** · 2014-06-02 22:13

Money in the Bank match prolly

Ambrose and Rollins could totally be in singles right now. Reigns is still lacking a bit unless they just settle him into the Cena method of getting beat down for 20 minutes into 5 moves of doom for the win.

**Xno Kappa** · 2014-06-02 22:27

I'm almost as pissed off as when Undertaker lost at WM. Makes no god damn sense. One of the best factions in recent history, coming off a spectacular match that carried the PPV, and you disband them? This is stupid. This is Russo-level stupid shit, shock value for the sake of being shocking with absolutely no forethought.

**arus2001** · 2014-06-02 22:28

Guys, guys, maybe Seth's suicide dives and practically killing himself regularly have finally taken their toll and he's not thinking clearly. That's gotta be it..... right?

**Hex** · 2014-06-02 22:30

I say let's see where this goes. It had to end sometime. They couldn't be The Shield forever. It wasn't going to end on good terms either. At least it's not right after a loss, it's at a time where they've never been higher. Ambrose is the natural heel but Rollins is the one that people seem to forget how good he is.

**Tyrath** · 2014-06-02 22:40

Yeah but it doesn't make sense to end them at the top of their game.

**Hex** · 2014-06-02 22:42

So put them on a losing streak while we sit here and roll our eyes at the inevitable turn? Let's face it, when this was gonna happen, we always assumed it would be Ambrose. I'm not saying it's going to turn out awesome, but it's a little more fresh than the usual.

I was actually always expecting it to be Rollins. Ambrose may be the natural heel of the group, but that's exactly why he wouldn't be the one to break the package. Then again, now that I think about it, kind of funny how they played this angle where Ambrose and Reigns don't get along, but then Rollins ends up backstabbing the both of them.

BAH it just makes no goddamn sense, you don't do this just to keep a story alive when Bluetista has to leave for a while to promote his silly movie.

No, let them rule at the top for a while. You wait for when they get stale to do this kind of shit. They were red hot right now.

**arus2001** · 2014-06-03 03:48

If they want to get Batista on face side for GotG PR, I could also see him popping in next PPV as if to help HHH, then just powerbomb him through a table or something. But we'll see, I guess.

**Kalmado** · 2014-06-03 05:14

Really strong finish but holy shit Cole & JBL are TERRIBLE commentators.

**Krandor** · 2014-06-03 06:21

Tbh the product would feel so much better with different commentators and/or Vince not yelling in their ears. Regal has said he doesn't want to move up to the main show for just that reason.

JBL is great when he gets to totally ham it up though, like for the Torito/Swoggle stuff or Bo.

It's mostly Cole and King are the problems. Heel King was good though. Cole just isn't believable. He reminds me of a shitty local sports broadcaster. The guys on Main Event aren't any better.

**Lyall** · 2014-06-03 07:55

I don't think my issue is with Rollins turning on the Shield, it's with THE GAAAAAMMMMMUHHHHH being the one who gets his way in the end. My ever-burning hateboner for Trips-as-Smark-labeled-egomaniac aside, it's infuriating as a fan to see a smug, loser heel win anyway.

**Fiendishone** · 2014-06-03 11:43

Remember when Bryan joined the wyatts to get at bray? Maybe Rollins is doing the same kinda thing? Really can't explain any other way they could be this dumb.

**Lyall** · 2014-06-03 14:23

Bryan didn't have to beat his partners with a chair after getting destroyed the previous night. Well, that's half-true.

The only thing that makes "sense" is Rollins legit selling out and taking a pay-off or promise of future glory to cut ties. I'm an idiot for expecting sense in my wrestling, though.

**Krandor** · 2014-06-03 14:56

I'm for one ok with a legit surprise for once. Everyone always assumed Dean would be the one to turn heel, so Rollins being the one is definitely surprising.
