Calling Theory "just a bland white dude" tells me you haven't actually watched him at all

That's good enough for Vince apparently. Like don't get me wrong, Theory is an okay wrestler, but that's literally it. He's an awful person irl and completely devoid of any charisma at all. I've actually met and spent time around Theory IRL, and he was an incredibly nice guy. What did he do to you? Or is this just more heat over allegations made against him with no proof? Credible allegations against him soliciting nude pictures from underage kids.

Credible allegations against him soliciting nude pictures from underage kids. You’re using plural here. Who else has accused him beyond the one that we’ve heard about?

Third option is just Theory trying to cash in and Roman easily crushing him because of course. I fail to see the problem here. Maybe the one instance of Roman being Roman that people would not mind at all.

Surprised a little this is the reaction to him.
Very good in the ring, good and getting heat with his promos and at 25 years old has a ton of room to get even better.
This is what investing young talent looks like. The thing this forum allegedly wants them to do.

Sheamus/Rollins have been MITB before, Moss/Omos arent ready, Zayn's a comedy character, Drew doesnt need it, so it was between Riddle/Theory

Like when he has resting Theory face he looks alright. But when his face does literally anything else, it's a horror show.

Would he be forced not to cash in or use it to strike at Roman when the time is right?

So this push is a good idea in Theory... okay I'll show myself out.
In all seriousness, I think THeory has a lot of potential, but he still hasn't really found something that clicks aside from being the stupid member of The Way. I think his early push on Raw was fine, but he's clearly not at the level they expected.

Calling Theory "just a bland white dude" tells me you haven't actually watched him at all Theory absolutely epitomizes "bland white dude." However, he's not bland in the dry, uncharismatic sense of the word. He's bland in the way Minoru Suzuki described it - he's decent at every aspect of wrestling but doesn't stand out at all because of that. Rather than excelling at one or two things he's just okay at everything, and that makes him incredibly boring. He's the type of dude where if you fire up Extreme Warfare Revenge, all of his stats are in the 60's and his gimmick is Cocky. Add in his generic look, his ridiculous overexposure, and yeah, the allegations against him and he's a total channel-changer.

I know they’ve already announced Corbin/McAfee but maybe if Cena’s available it ends up as Cena and Pat v Theory and Corbin. I’d probably rather they just do the two singles matches instead but Cena and Pat would be an incredible babyface tag team for a one-off.

I don’t really get the Roman/Theory Vince’s chosen one comparisons outside of kayfabe. Are people forgetting how ridiculously strong Roman was booked in 2012-15 before he won his first world title?
Theory is being booked like a regular upper midcard heel at best. I don’t recall him having a particularly strong showing at the Rumble. He was killed by Brock like he was nothing at EC. He lost to a non-wrestler at Wrestlemania. He was decisively beaten by Lashley last night. Winning MITB is his biggest win but plenty of midcarders have won that. He might be Vince’s chosen one in kayfabe but the booking doesn’t really back up him being this hugely pushed/protected figure. Even on Raw each week it’s not like he gets an abnormal amount of TV time compared to anyone else.

I'm pretty sure Vince is having his brain slowly transferred into Theory. This was planned to be an even slower build but recent moved that time line up. They can take all of my money if the angle is the brain transfusion goes horribly wrong and both Theory and Mr. McMahon coexist in Theory’s brain. Like literally for no reason he’ll start doing the Vince Strut mid-match. Make it kind of a Firestorm scenario... YER FIREDSTORM

I've said it again imagine Carmelo Hayes in Theory's spot right now that would be a lot better

Credible allegations against him soliciting nude pictures from underage kids. Can you point me to the proof? The only allegation I ever saw was from 1 girl whose only "evidence" was a very standard picture she took with him, and another picture from the same show where he photobombed her and another wrestler way in the background. As far as I've ever seen, she never produced any of the alleged messages or anything else, and then disappeared when called out. If there's more, I'll be glad to look, but if that's all you got, sorry, but that ain't enough.

I'm not really a fan of Theory's character work unless he's playing a dumb jock, but this is why I can't really get upset over it. I can at least appreciate them going all in on trying to make a new young star.

Dude is legitimately a great worker and seller, can cut a promo, is funny, and plays the meathead jock gimmick to a tee. I think a good comparison is Drew McIntyre back in 2009, who basically had the same gimmick with being Vince's golden boy, but Theory is playing the role a hell of a lot better. Also, "ridiculous overexposure?" Lmao what? He's been on the main roster for less than a year and he's been an upper midcarder for most of it
