    He's a chickenshit heel. It's a role in wrestling. An archetype. He gets hated from it, and yet no one questions his wrestling skills. Perfect for a top level heel.

    Rollins is a chickenshit heel. Owens has been booked as a dominant heel. They are serving two different roles.

    At this point, it's better to keep Roman a face. If they werent going to boo him with the entire arena hating him, I dont think they would do it while he is getting cheered a great deal. With their booking of the former Shield, the WWE has stayed logical for the most part.

    No, the top heel is most definitely Rollins. Owens is just competing in the upper midcard. There's no indication he's above Rollins, and Rollins gets much more screen time, usually the opening and closing segment.

    Presumably Owens is US champion, so he can't be the top heel just yet, competing for the WWE title. Lesnar is totally a face at the moment. Wyatt is possible, but he needs some serious rebuilding before then.

    Yeah, the point is if Rollins turns face, whose your top bad guy? Sheamus? And unless Roman turns heel (which wont happen) having a face Rollins hurts our chances of a SHIELD Triple Threat at WM or else where. Rollins' ability to face isnt the question (of course he can), its just about the long term planning and

    Yeah, but he's the main heel in a roster lacking strong heels. Turning him after all the work you've done just so he can face Triple H before Triple H goes back to not wrestling makes no sense. Triple H turning face makes more sense, which is really strange.

    Brock vs Rollins at Battleground is a bit strange, as I thought that has SummerSlam written all over it. I don't know how Rollins can get a win over Brock, but I hope he does. He would be a good first pin on Brock, so long as he cheats.

    "No, not Reek. Theon!"

    Zack Ryder getting the NXT bump would be great. That Doomsday Device Rough Ryder was sick.

    Mr. Burns: Homer Simpson.
    Homer: Stop telling them it was me!

    The NXT Title is more valuable than the US Title. It's been confirmed on Raw.

    Criticism of the lack of and poor representation of Asian Americans are well warranted, as we havent been well represented in the media. But the problem was she chose to tweet angrily about it, without looking into what Colbert was actually saying. She wanted to make #CancelColbert trend; that's what caused that whole

    You are framing it in a completely different way that I am, and Jerry Seinfeld is for that matter. What I am saying is that the kneejerk reaction (social justice based criticism if you want to call it that)of Suey Park was brought about by the current landscape of media criticism. This influences how we view jokes

    Chris Rock shares Jerry Seinfeld's sentiment, and he also "revels in controversy." It's not about being oversensitive.

    Well no. But there is a definite problem with student uninviting speakers that they don't like just because they don't want to hear what they might say. Especially since they invited Maher to speak in the first place because it was the 50th anniversary of the Free Speech movement. In this case, they should petition

    joke.

    Again, it's not about repercussions to an individual comedian. It's about a media culture that shames particular type of comedy. That culture prevents younger comedians from being able to take same type of risks as the generation did before them.

    "Why should comedians who earned more for a week's work than we'll ever see in our lifetimes concern themselves with this?"

    I doubt it. Chris Rock has said the same thing and they share comedic sensibilities. Not to mention he opened for Jerry many years ago, and considered it an honor. I just don't think he'd do it now because he's at the moment on a bit of a hot streak, as opposed to Seineld, who picks and chooses when he does his stand
