    Eric Rowan > The Rest of The Wyatts. If we're being honest, here. He still has so much potential and they're not putting him to use.

    F that

    Harper is great in the ring

    And Bray as a total package puts him in the top tier of talent on the WWE roster

    Rowan is a basic big man

    Rowan's better than Harper to me. But that's just my opinion.

    So I'm confused are they doing Orton Bray at Mania or not? Haven't watched tonight at all.

    AJ's feet totally hit the ground first. But okay. LOL! That camera angle was to preserve the element of surprise and mystery behind it all when we know that's what happened.

    Yeah it was fairly obvious

    Looks like it'll be a match next week to determine contender

    So what's Orton doing at Mania then and what was the point of the rumble match?

    They probably just gonna make it a triple threat with whoever wins the spot next week?

    And I'm sure there are people who think Braun Strowman is better than Eric Rowan, too. They're all distinctive characters and maybe even esteemed in their own respects. But I honestly feel like people forgot that Eric did all the s--- Luke did, but better, wrestling-wise. People falling in love with Bruiser Brody Jr. because he reminds them of the third coming of someone who bears a strikingly similar aesthetic and attitude, since Mick Foley introduced the world to Cactus Jack. I get it. The guy's tremendously athletic for his size. But guess what. So is Eric Rowan. I don't know. Maybe I missed him botching up a match or something and am blind as h---. But I swear y'all are sleeping on the kid. Meh. Whatever.

    Nah man, imo Harper has always been a super solid in ring worker, I've even noticed it and thought to myself on several occasions "d--- he is good for a big man", whereas Rowan is just an alright big man. Harper does drop kicks, suplexes, spinning clothes lines, super kicks

    Way better man

    Yeah, sure. Strowman's great and all. Still last on the list. He's getting a past literally because he's better on the mic than The Great Khali. Still isn't really all that impressive to me. He's got more of an actual presence than physical, so I appreciate that. But it's going to be a while before I'm as high on the idea of pushing him as all of you seem to be. I guess we know why they buried Rowan. Nobody likes the guy. Go figure. I wish him well in his future endeavors. Smfh. Meanwhile, they bring back Curt f---ing Hawkins. I'm sure you all agree with that decision, too, because it was "best for business". This is like bringing back Alex Riley. Who the f--- really missed Curt Hawkins? They held on to the only guy with charisma and star quality from "Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder" in the first place and still didn't know how to treat or kayfabe book the guy (Zack Ryder).

    Look at his size. What do you want from Braun as a wrestler? He's on a different level than Rowan. Takes more than a good workrate to get this push. The thing about guys like Rowan/Rusev/Umaga/etc is that they always get jobbed out and lose all momentum. Braun has been booked almost invincibly as a non-wrestler with almost no competition. I don't know how he could be booked better.

    You can talk about who deserves what, but it doesn't matter. They've done a great dob with what they're trying to build.

    Idk man, I think that suplex was just dumb as f---

    I thought the ending was great, actually built a lot of tension but then they botched what, to be fair, is an incredibly hard spot to get just right. WWE should be smart enough to just go with it though. We all know Harper is going to win next week so they can do a Wyatt Family Mania so just say AJ's feet first like everyone saw and pivot the plan. This is just going to make it awkward when they have to reference why Styles v Harper is happening but can't show any footage of the draw :blunt:
