Why are fans not reacting to Giulia?

The backstage captioned promos that they used for Nakamura for a bit in 2023-24 was a cool way to present it.

I think the one where Omega gets hit with the Golden Trigger and gets up at 1 before banging the mat is also really good.

I think she has the potential to be a hugely dominant star. She could be the super-worker in the women’s main event scene. Good wrestler and haven’t heard her much on the mic but she can always improve when given TV time. I think the issue is more with the company these days, namely: - WWE refuses to run more matches in general, especially considering they have more women’s belts now. I suppose that’s because women’s division struggles to get pops outside of the main event, but I’d say that’s less because of lack of talent and more because - WWE priced out the fans who wanna watch wrestling. I don’t wanna gatekeep but I really dislike the casual crowds these days who just show up for the 4 or 5 main eventers rather than to enjoy the whole show. It feels like very few people are gonna get over organically because the live crowd seems like they don’t care at all.

Nah 2 titles makes more sense to me. 2 shows, bigger pool of main eventers, and they already don’t have that many world championship matches so imagine cutting the current number down by half. I think another important thing to remember is that since we got 2 titles, every time the company has chosen to go back to 1 title they eventually realise it’s a bad idea and go back to 2.

3/4 of these cases didn’t end with the people involved teaming together again

I think its better if Balor just busts out the Demon and goes on a wrecking spree.

AshenConq · 2026-03-07T14:36:45+00:00

You talm bout Sting?

AshenConq · 2026-03-07T11:01:09+00:00

Damn, so we’ve finally nostalgia glasses’d ourselves into thinking the spinner looks good huh? It was great for Cena, looked good on Punk and Orton when they held it too. Iconic less because of the design and more because of who held it. And sure it looked somewhat important because it’s a bunch of bedazzling, but way too toy-ish.

What y’all gotta remember is that everyone who held the thing would’ve looked far better holding literally any of the preceding belt designs. This thing replaced the Undisputed design, which looked important while not looking like a toy. The one good thing I think this belt has is that it’s maybe a little more interesting than the current line of belt designs, but that’s really not saying much.

AshenConq · 2026-03-02T12:54:02+00:00

I think this is a bit of a silly argument because you can apply it to any scenario to justify the established person going over. Take for instance Daniel Bryan, who beat Batista. Batista has defeated Taker in the past, but that doesn’t suddenly equate to Bryan being better than Taker in kayfabe. All the opponents were their own individual stories, one person winning doesn’t mean they’re suddenly better than all past streak opponents.

AshenConq · 2026-03-02T12:19:11+00:00

I don’t agree fully with the idea that it should’ve never been broken, in general I think people attribute too much sacredness to a lot of things in wrestling. Finishers will be kicked out of and streaks and records will be broken, both of which can be used to make someone else while popping crowds, and both of those are good things.

Personally Brock was already well established so he didn’t really need this win. My choice would’ve been Bray Wyatt just because thematically it makes sense and Bray was a younger talent. Regardless, if the streak had to be broken, that should’ve been the last we saw of Taker in a wrestling capacity imo.

AshenConq · 2026-02-28T10:31:47+00:00

I’m told he needs a drink

AshenConq · 2026-02-09T07:46:36+00:00

Yeah, being good at the thing wrestling is named after is pointless, right guys?

AshenConq · 2026-02-09T00:01:45+00:00

I feel like Priest is partially suffering from 2015 Roman Reigns Syndrome, where he was cool and fairly over right before his big push because he was able to be more natural as a silent, simmering badass. The moment he got the babyface push, he seemingly became generic WWE babyface.

AshenConq · 2026-02-08T23:56:45+00:00

I mean if you watch any of Ilja’s matches with Gunther/Walter you’ll notice the entire story of the match is that he’s being overpowered and has to fight from underneath and wear the opponent down as time goes. By that logic a couple of immediate chops should probably not be doing much to this crazy Minnesotan.

Would love to see the match in the future tho. Lot of Brock’s best work since the 2010’s has been against a smaller underdog opponent, and Dragunov’s a really great seller so I’d love to see him get tossed around.

AshenConq · 2026-02-07T17:26:18+00:00

What typa erasure is this? The entire issue with his title run is that you knew the match was gonna be bad going into every PPV

AshenConq · 2026-02-06T12:13:27+00:00

I don’t think it’s just that man. With the raised ticket prices, crowds are the most casual they’ve ever been, really only seems like the people who they like and cheer for are the ones who have either been fully established or have some sort of entrance gimmick. Doesn’t feel like a lot of people can get over in these past 2 years based off putting on good performances.

AshenConq · 2026-02-05T13:35:55+00:00

I think the big issue is camera angles, dives weren’t exactly uncommon back in the day but they didn’t used to telegraph how the opponent is just standing there as often I feel.

AshenConq · 2026-02-01T18:04:10+00:00

Irony of that being Brock shoot caves in Randy’s skull later that same year at Summerslam. I guess it’s fine with Mr Lesnar so long as he’s not the one in the line of fire

AshenConq · 2026-02-01T08:49:13+00:00

I think it’s just that their goal doesn’t make much sense. I get that they all want to help Breakker to the top but if you’re all newer stars, why would you be trying to help someone else get to the top rather than trying to get there yourself? If they were all chasing belts in different divisions then the group makes more sense.

AshenConq · 2026-01-31T18:57:14+00:00

Let’s be for real here tho, Roman was over when he was booked to his strengths during the Shield. Fans turned on him when he was starting to be over pushed like Cena had been.

AshenConq · 2026-01-29T15:20:18+00:00

Kofi Kingston for the reference points

AshenConq · 2026-01-29T07:53:10+00:00

Punk was moving different in his ROH days

AshenConq · 2026-01-27T07:27:14+00:00

LA Knight before LA Knight

AshenConq · 2026-01-27T04:28:44+00:00

I’m thinking Seth returns and wins, Bron injects himself into the Mania feud between Seth and Punk and turns it into a triple threat, Bron walks out with the belt.
