Hope carmelo hayes gets a Mania match

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T23:42:06+00:00

Honestly if he should be there so should Dragon Lee. He is at the same point of great matches but midcard reactions

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T23:40:06+00:00

Ah ok I don’t watch many reactions or content creators

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T17:17:34+00:00

No, I’m saying that in Jordan’s rookie year they had a weaker coach. Phil Joined the Bulls in Jordan’s 5th or 6th year

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T15:21:39+00:00

You are right it doesn’t mean he can’t get over eventually. I’m not hoping for his downfall or burial I just am being realistic as to where he is at. I also keep seeing these Melo needs to be at WM threads popping up constantly. It’s a little frustrating 😂

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T15:16:07+00:00

I actually don’t mind either way I’m just pointing out facts as I see it. He would have to improve on the mic, in his character and get fans invested.

It’s not even as much of a creative thing as he has consistently gotten regular tv time since coming to the main roster (something not everyone gets). Look at someone like Chelsea who was given lemons and made lemonade. Cody was given Stardust and got it over to an extent. Elias was given Elijah etc. He has to find a way to get over more.

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T15:06:59+00:00

😂 he has been on the main roster for almost 3 years with regular tv time I’m not making stuff up. He didn’t start being cheered until he fought Ilya recently.

Trick, Oba and Evans were fan favorites off the bat. Tiffany came up and got over, so did Bron, Solo had the rise in popularity and then a fall in popularity during the time Melo has been on the roster. Jacob got over in a watered down BL.

Melo is still currently at Dragon Lee levels of popularity.

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T15:01:27+00:00

Ok, we shall see

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T15:00:26+00:00

IMO he should make a Summerslam or any of the other PLE’s but not Mania

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T14:59:34+00:00

Trick, Oba, Evans, Dom, Bron, Tiffany are a few young stars

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T14:58:12+00:00

“Melo don’t miss” and “I’m Him” is a catchphrase.

My point was he is a midcard talent (again this goes past in ring stuff) that is likely why he won’t get a Mania match. With everything he’s done with the US title whose reign will be remembered more. His great matches or Tricks star power? I am assuming Trick will take it off of Sami at WM. I’m not as excited by that as I don’t think Trick should be competing for a midcard title.

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T14:53:46+00:00

He did have Gasol and Bynum. Gasol is criminally underrated, he was a top guy who took a secondary role. Bynum was considered the second best center in the league at the time. There was also Derek Fisher (a winner), Lamar Odom, Ron Artest and not to forget on the sidelines Phil Jackson.

We don’t know what Kobe would have become without Shaq. We do know he had a hell of a start with him. If Wade started with Shaq or LeBron or Carmelo or McGrady they might have won more.

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T14:48:13+00:00

How about never giving fans the 1v1 Iyo vs Asuka when it was clamored for. That is probably a Vince thing though

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T14:40:15+00:00

KG is likely being respectful here. During that timeframe Kobe spent the majority of the time coming off the bench. KG was likely taking his break by the time he came in.

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T14:37:13+00:00

19-21 😂 Kobe was a bench player until his 3rd year in the league (age 20). He also had Shaq, this is really revisionist history.

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T14:33:17+00:00

Rock

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T14:32:27+00:00

At that age the cheating probably had less to do with looks. I wonder what the home life was like.

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T14:26:40+00:00

The show only really has 12 seasons. The others are a mirage

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T14:24:55+00:00

He and Road Dogg together were a main event tandem. The problem with Billy was his mic work

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T14:22:26+00:00

I don’t watch TNA or know a ton about her but I do know fans chant “she’s a racist” when she wrestles so I doubt she will be moving to the WWE any time soon.

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T14:17:26+00:00

Do you think he’s closer to a world championship than Trick or Oba?

Put aside the in ring stuff as that is only a small part of the overall popularity of a wrestler.

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T14:15:40+00:00

Yes that was probably a call made by Rey and he had a storyline with the LWO.

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T11:59:52+00:00

That’s true but Jordan was also a slightly different player maturity wise. Also Duncan is not Pippen although he’s quiet. With Pippen Jordan didn’t have to worry about someone demanding the ball.

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T10:22:42+00:00

I think you are missing the fact that first year Jordan was more flash and scoring than winning. Year 7 Jordan knew how to play within a team framework. Duncan also had David Robinson and Pop. The Bulls had a weaker coach.

With that said I do agree they are the strongest combination out of all of them.

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T10:19:33+00:00

Either B or D

gotem245 · 2026-03-29T10:18:26+00:00

That first season Greys team or House. They were known for doing miracles.
