WWE officials critical of Sami Zayn

[Deleted]

Hey you! Stop being liked!

[Deleted]

Sami must be about to hit the main roster if they're coming up with BS like this.

[Beets by Schrute]

Clearly, this is how Vince wants it done:

I can see the point in the sense that it is the most basic move a face can do, after so long in the industry Vince must be pulling his hair out seeing people constantly take the easy route. Maybe he's trying to get Zayn to try and do different things

[Johnny B. Decent]

*Smells the air*

Ah, the gentle fragrance of some newly-made Smark Bait.

But why just Zayn, when nearly every face in the WWE does it?

Dat Bo doe

[Blindkarevik]

Vince: What it is he doing out there? Why is he appealing to the crowd like a babyface?
Triple H:.... well, uh, he IS a babyface.
Vince: I thought I told you to shave those sideburns!!! You look ridiculous!

how many times a match does he do it?

[rnrk supports BLM]

But he needs to climb those turnbuckles to be in position to hit Triple H with his screwdriver!

I remember when I worked for a home health care delivery company and getting dicked over for a promotion and them refusing to make me full-time even though customers gave me great reviews and I was always punctual and worked hard and was well-liked by co-workers. I went to the president of the company and called him out on it, and he stuttered some bs and tried to spin it. Then I asked him point blank "is there something about me you just don't like?" and he said "your appearance". I laughed in his face, not on purpose but because I felt good that all he could criticize about me was some arbitrary bullshit. Sorry, I'm overweight and my hair's long and curly, ya know?

I hope Sami had a similar reaction, if someone ever told him this. "Hey they really like you, but you climb on the ropes and play to the crowd, Vince doesn't like that." Hopefully he cracked up and said "whatever". Something that small isn't going to hold him back.

I think we should ban the term "NEWZZ!!!11!" for ever.

Sure this could easily be fake as f*** but at least be creative about how you condemn it's reality.

Newz is newz.

There's no other way to put it.

Yes there is.

You're better than this FAN.

Yeah, don't buy this. Mostly because I watch NXT regularly and he doesn't play to the crowd that often at all.

[Andrew is Good]

It is a ridiculous thing but it all goes back to his indy days and having to focus on the crowd. It's definitely dumb though and it's bad to have all your wrestlers be cookie cutter.

Spoiler from tonight's NXT Tapings:

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Sami Zayn beat Leo Kruger in the first episode, lost to Adrian Neville in a #1 Contender's Match in the 2nd episode, and then lost to Leo Kruger in the 4th episode.

May have some relevance

This- and it seems like it's gone into overdrive this year:

This year alone, we hear about WWE having heat with Zayn, Ohno, Paige, Rollins [four big ROH/SHIMMER stars], with only Ziggler getting news of heat to make the dirtsheets for non-indy standouts- with this not being uncommon.

It's just NOT POSSIBLE that literally every in-house trainee the WWE ever signs is a living saint, yet every indy standout WWE ever signs is a huge asshole backstage.

Then, you remember that the top two babyfaces until Cena's official return right now- Daniel Bryan and CM Punk, are also indy standouts. Punk had numerous "CM Punk is in the doghouse" updates about him through his career, and Bryan had his firing [and the early run where Michael Cole gave him crap every week]- both of which galvanized the hardcore fans to taking their sides and helped make them into mega-stars.

Conclusion: Every big "Indy star has heat" article this year is completely fake. The WWE is openly leaking fake articles to the dirtsheets claiming [Indy Darling X] has nuclear heatz backstage, knowing hardcore smarks will think "WWE DOESN'T WANT [Indy Darling X] TO SUCCEED!", and then go on to think "WE'LL SHOW THEM! WE WILL MAKE [Indy Darling X] A MAIN EVENTER TO SPITE YOU!". End result, the indy darling makes it to the main event, the WWE laughs all the way to the bank, and the IWC not only buys into this guy, but they act like WE'RE the ones who got one over on THEM.

Vince hates when people get over with fans? Well that explains raw for the past 10 years.

[saintpat]

What Vince is trying to get across to Sami is this: It's about the RASSLIN', not the crowd.

Tell him to shut his hole and know his role.
