Vince loves mic men. If you're not good on the mic, you will never be the face of WWE. I think it's a bit premature to say Roman Reigns, a guy who's probably spoke less than 50 words since he debuted a year ago, the new face of the WWE. I don't know, when I read new golden boy I instantly thought of Evolution era Orton where they explicitly said that he was a diamond in the rough but that he'd be special some day, it's probably safer to assume they'd go that route with Reigns rather then a sharp push to the main event. There's so many matchups he could work through before getting there that I hope that they'd see a main event push as a waste for the time being. I have to say though, I'd love to see Reigns run through Axel, just spear the dude in half and take his belt from him.

So, what exactly is the incentive to buy Survivor Series again? To see a rematch on top, and a Title match that was horrible earlier in the spring when it last happened? Plus, Punk and Bryan vs two scruffy dudes they already beat for free individually on TV? There's no incentive at all with the three listed matches. - Big Show vs. Orton is guaranteed to end in some sort of schmozz, and the event itself will all but certainly end with The Authority standing tall. - Cena vs. Del Rio is a rematch of a decent enough match in a feud that has no zest or spice to it, and by blowing the Sandow cash-in on a throwaway episode of Raw, there's no excitement to the match itself. Hell, they couldn't even be bothered to make it a triple threat with Damien Sandow to jazz it up a bit. Also, there's no earthly way Cena loses. - And what's the purpose to the tag match? They should include Bray Wyatt and make it a 3-on-2 match to make it appear as though perhaps CM Punk and Bryan have to fight some sort of insurmountable odds. As I said in the Survivor Series thread, I have tickets to this event and I am entirely regretting making that purchase. They have two weeks to try to excite me for the show, but it's not looking promising.

At this rate I don't see how Survivor Series does above 200,000 buys.

I think one of the bigger pieces of news is that they want Brie Mode merch, please tell me they are considering either a flask or shot glasses

I think Reigns has a shot of being a Batista-esque figure. Someone maybe a little bit higher than Edge on the ladder. He won't be the next Cena/Austin/Hogan/etc.. but he'll definitely have some major feuds over both world titles. I'd like to see face Reigns with him keeping the intensity and mannerisms of his shield character. That growl of his, the brutal spear, dat superman punch. His tone of voice and a no need to make bad jokes like Sheamus.
Speaking of Sheamus, I want to see Reigns vs Sheamus with Sheamus as the heel and Reigns as the face.

AWESOME! Fast track a guy with almost no character development into a face!
The fans will really go for that!
How about, take some time and develop his character a little so people might care when he becomes a face... Rather than just making him a face in the crowd...

Isn't "based on TV" another way of saying, "I have no sources, I'm watching the same show you are and I don't yet have any good guesses"

Fast track doesn't mean he will be a star by Mania 30. From past experiences, booking a guy from the mid card to a star is usually a year worth of booking.

I never once said anything about him becoming a "star by Mania 30." I said they need to develop his character so that when he becomes a face "people might care." If they just flip him to face with his reason being "I don't like Ambrose anymore," he'll get a pop for a week or two, and then be jerking curtains. Develop his character before he goes face. Give the fans something to invest in.

So Reigns will be eating a Pedigree and a pin from Triple H in a match soon?

There's no way he'll be a "golden boy" without a brand extension. I fully expect for Cena, Orton, Punk, Kane, Big Show, Del Rio, and others to cling to their spots. Part of the reason that Cena and Batista worked is because of how limited the main event scene was at the time, it was a transition period. You had several big names leaving between '03-'06 and WWE was forced to make stars, thankfully doing the right thing with Batista and Cena, while Orton/WWE fumbled the ball when he was given the chance. And you know what? Without the brand extension, I can outright say there is a likely chance we may have missed out on either Cena or Batista if they felt the need to strap that rocket to someone. So multiply that by 2 for Roman Reigns and add in the factor that most of the guys we have now are in for the long haul. But I do look forward to him bringing back his brother Rosey and winning the tag titles with him.
