I gotta disagree, to all reports HHH is pretty high on Balor, dude has a charisma, especially with the face paint, the crowd on raw will buy into him, they don't buy into much, but they will buy into Balor. He may not be able to talk as well, but he can make it work with the paint. when it comes to the NXT title run, I felt it was average, not as good as KO's, but not as bad as Bo Dallas reign

 

HHH was also very high on Breeze...

<p>Caught up on Swerved Season 2. The humor is still hit and miss but it was much better than Season 1. The Performance Center stunt was my favorite.</p><p> </p><p>

Watched Breaking Ground Reloaded. Best show I've seen all week period. Can't wait for Season 2.</p>

I don't get how people say Balor has no personality and is "boring". His charisma is actually pretty good and the "Demon" character shows he isn't a one dimensional personality. He does need work on his speaking a little, but he is by no means boring. His charisma when he puts on the facepaint is plain to see for those who know what charisma means. His ability to draw the audience in and his psychology is one of the best on the NXT roster - whether that crosses to the main roster is yet to be seen. Knowing Vince though, he'll have him lead the Ascension and totally make the Demon character into a joke.

Too bad HHH can't protect all of his favorites, but he got Rollins and Wyatt( Maybe?), Balor, etc.</p>

<p>Great story about Kevin Owens and Stephanie McMahon. WWE really shouldn't have booked someone to meet certain wrestlers if they weren't going to be there, but Owens and Steph are class acts.</p><p> </p><p> <a href="http://www.ringtalkk.com/?p=136" rel="external nofollow">http://www.ringtalkk.com/?p=136</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="25169" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>My name is Debbie and I have a 10 year old daughter named Shelby who really is an amazing person. Spend 5 minutes with her and you’ll know that. Speaking of that I recently attended the Smackdown show in Biloxi, MS which is a fairly long drive from our home in Starkville, MS but we drove that far because we were given free tickets and were promised by the Autism Society in MS that we could meet her favorite performer Roman Reigns which is something Shelby was so excited about. We woke up that day and she picked out her favorite Roman shirt and doll to bring to meet him. I even painted her face with Romans logo and everything.<p> </p><p> We arrived at the building about 2 hours before as we were advised and the people took us backstage to a holding area where other children were also scheduled to meet Roman and some were there to meet Dolph Ziggler also. Dolph even came over to Shelby and said hi and told her “someday you can be here if you listen to your mom and do good in school”. So nice of him to do that but as nice as Dolph was Shelby wasn’t that excited. She was waiting for Roman. After about 30 minutes a WWE person and a representative from the Autism Society finally came to get us and as we started waking back the wwe lady told us the most unbelievably sad news ever. Roman was NOT there and wasn’t going to meet Shelby because of “prior egagments “. My daughter was flattened in disappointment and started crying. The autism guy Davey then tried to calm her down and asked if there was anyone else she wanted to meet. She then said “John Cena”. Guess what happened next ? ” I’m sorry sweetie John isn’t here either”. Once again the disappointment set in. That’s when I pulled the WWE lady Myra to the side and sternly told her about our drive, my daughters excitement and everything and hoe disappointed in the company I was that her two favorites weren’t there. I also said it was bad form to book something in advance and not let it happen. I explained how my daughter watched all the other kids meet their favorites and how she felt like she did something wrong because she didn’t get to meet hers. Myra sensing my displeasure told me to wait here and she’s be back. I then explained to Shelby as best I could what was happening. She still was very sad and crying. After about another 20 minutes she returned thus time with Stephanie McMahon and Charlotte. Steph asked Shelby if she knew who they were and she said “you’re the mean lady and she’s the cheater”. They both laughed. Steph then said “how’d you like to meet some more superstars “. Shelby’s eyes lit up with joy. Charlotte took her by the hand and began taking her around to meet all the available talent. She met most of the divas , had a great meeting with Brian Sexton and Jerry Lawler , and then something I didn’t ever think would happen happened. Kevin Owens introduced himself to is and at first Shelby shied away but then he started talking a out his kids and showing her pictures and even a cute video of he and his son when he was a baby watching ScoobyDoo and KO even did a ScoobyDoo impression and made Shelby laugh. He signed a KO shirt and gave it to her and you know how they say kids say the darnedest things? Well she said “thank you mr. Kevin but don’t cheat anymore and I will be your fan ” lol. KO was amused and said “just remember if I do cheat it’s because I want to win for you ” she smiled and after that we met a few others like AJ Styles, Cesaro , the two masked guys and Sammi Zane and then were escorted to our seats but before that we stopped in the restroom and my daughter changed into her new KO shirt and washed the paint off her face. I asked why she did that and she said again with innocence in her voice “roman doesn’t want to see it I want to take it off”. Clearly still heartbroken but taking it well. By the end of the night she forgot all about being sad and had a wonderful time despite so called heroes breaking her heart and even cheered for EVERYONE she met including KO who she never liked before.</p><p> </p><p> In closing I think WWE should tell their employees if you commit to meeting an autistic child or ANY child for that matter that no matter what you should be there. Big thanks to Stephanie McMahon, Charlotte , Dolph Zieglet and Kevin Owens for saving the day! In forever grateful for my daughter and you have no idea how much this means to her and probably never will.</p><p> </p><p> Thanks ,</p><p> Debbie Hanover</p></div></blockquote>

Something I never shared on this forum is that my daughter has Autism and this story hit me very hard when reading it. I thought that was very poor form in whomever booked that engagement for not having Roman there but I never thought Kevin Owens would be the guy to swerve the direction of the story.</p>
