Just one decision? 'Cause there was a few at Mania. Booked a major storyline from start to finish without any stupidity?

The Shield feud in 2016 was okay, I guess.

Roman to SD has some potential.

not a major
i mean one surrounding one of the men's world titles or a main event (men's) storyline if there was something bigger than the world titles at the time

yeah i guess an overall story/arc
not just one correct match decision in the middle of an otherwise horrendous booking situation

Yeah then the most recent I can think of is the Shield program from 2016. Dean won the briefcase, Seth beat Roman, Dean cashed in, drew with Seth on Raw, beat Seth on SmackDown, then won the triple threat. Very simple program that put one guy over very strong and there wasn't anything stupid to drag it down.

And of course the rub is, it only happened that way 'cause Roman pissed hot.

A shame that they're starting it with a storyline that they've done a couple times already

You will argue but running with the Kofi shit and just playing it straight and delivering the Mania moment.

Goldberg over Lesnar in a squash was genius

This. Why not just get out from our screens already.

I know what you meant, but it did spawn some major seething

There were some speed bumps in that one. Kofi getting screwed in his own gauntlet match and then only getting the title shot because of Xavier and Big E is clunky.

Goldberg beating KO was a major misstep.

This

It was done well...IF Dean was world champ material.
But I don't think he was, I don't think he ever was, I think they just did it so that they could have the
>all Shield members have been WWE champ!
meme.
And Ambrose was so underwhelming that he dropped the belt a bit later and was never relevant again. So I don't even think that was even overall good booking.

I think they're doing it all wrong again, Vince is so fucking boneheaded. Roman came back from cancer, had all this goodwill - they're squandering it again by making him >le unbeatable superman again. He's already getting booed again. A fucking cancer survivor with small kids is getting booed because they're doing the exact same thing that made him resented in the first place. What is the rush? Why not give him a period of being very beatable. Make a story out of it. He's back, but he's not back at the top of his game yet. He's in denial abotu it, he says he's 100% in interviews, but he's clearly not. Make a story out of it for a few months. Give him some losses, make him sympathetic. McIntyre-Roman at Mania should have been WWE's equivalent of JayWhite-Okada at this year's WK. Give McIntyre the win, cool Roman off a bit before he inevitably becomes superman again.

But noooooooooooooooooo, can't have that, gotta start shoving him doen everyone's throat again straight away.
Send Vince to the glue factory. The old man is senile.

We can argue about his ability, but Dean was really over at the time and that program put him over strong and put him into a position to be the main guy of SmackDown. It didn't take, but, hindsight is 20/20.

I guess personally I just never 'got' Ambrose anyway. I started watching E again in January 2015 after a 10-year gap. I immediately liked Seth and Roman but I thought Ambrose was just cringe, I never got his character. Plus I thought in-ring he was a couple of tiers beneath the other two.
I thought the Roman-Seth match at MITB was so perfectly done, the Evil Seth comes back and cucks Roman for the belt once again. Could have really kicked Roman-Seth into high gear and made it the flagship rivalry for this era. But then midcard Dean cashing in and messing that up just ruined it for me.
Just my personal take though, I can see that a lot of people did indeed mark out for him.

Probably the most underrated part is that he manufactured the 'fan pressure'. If you had, around the Rumble, asked at even the most woke basedboy WWE fan who should challenge for the title at Mania, literally none of them would have said Kofi. For a man so out of touch, he very cleverly pre-empted the fact that he was probably going to get targetted by the outrage police sooner or later.

holy crinfe

of course he had to follow it up with the worst ending

It's not the things he did, but the things he didn't do. So many people would have cheered him along if he pushed some indie-shitters. He gives almost every a push at some point, but he knows when to take the gas off the pedal. I'm so glad he's prevented Raw and Smackdown from becoming NXT by not pushing smark darlings, like Kevin Owens. Could you imagine? I don't think people realize that Raw's ratings are actually pretty good in comparison with all the other channels that have gone straight down the shitter.

>Turns brand new titles immediately into a joke

I want R*ddit to leave

Owens is one of the very few entertaining characters. He can make something decent out of the scripted shit they give him, unlike almost everyone else.

John Cena
Kevin Owens
Sami Zayn (but his skinny twink physique ruins it. Fine if he stays midcard but he should never be in the world title picture)
Samoa Joe
