Jiji Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I'd agree but I thought they hammed it up too much when the ref was down for seemingly 5 minutes and Sami struggled with his conscience for most of that time. Otherwise, it was excellent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Z Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I'd say Nakamura vs. Ibushi from 1/4 was as close to perfect as it gets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, it was excellent. I totally understand that criticism. Personally, it worked for me since Sami struggling with his conscience was a key part of the story of that character/match and because on a scale of Lance Storm to Shawn Michaels, the ham factor of the acting was only about a "Triple H when he's seething mad," which is fine for me when it comes to pro wrestling. I also forgot to mention that the end with Owens coming back out and starting that feud was also perfectly done. Yeah, there aren't many "perfect" matches, and honestly, I can't think of another single match that I'd rate that way in the past decade that I've seen, but that hit the right spot for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I'd say Nakamura vs. Ibushi from 1/4 was as close to perfect as it gets.That was actually the first match that came to my mind too but I felt like that weird German from the apron was too awkward and contrived. I know, I know, one move doesn't make the match but I still feel it was a flaw in an otherwise amazing match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelemania Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 New trainer will be Albert. A good choice. This was the first thing I thought of when he was announced as the new trainer. How big of a deal people can make out of something so trivial. Remember when this happened? People were saying how racist it was & it needed pulled & he should be reprimanded, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fresh Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I know this will get rolled eyes from the growing number of "NXT is overrated" folks, but Zayn/Neville where Zayn won the belt is the last "perfect match" I have seen. Zayn had a chance to cheat and win the gold, and he resisted it. He got knocked down again and again and had every reason to take the shortcut, especially since Neville had done the same thing, especially since his career was on the line, but he didn't, and he won. He overcame temptation and listened to the better angels of his, and our, nature, and he came out victorious. In a world where the good guy almost never wins and where entertainment often focuses on antiheroes rather than pure heroes, it was really nice to see a guy who was a good guy win by maintaining purity of heart and deed and doing things the right way. "The good guy"???? Then why did he wear a mask for so long, huh? What was he hiding??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenalysis Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 The perfect Zayn/Neville. Showed that to a friend who hadn't ever seen either of them, and he was hooked on it, and his idea of good wrestling is 70s Mid-Atlantic because that's what he grew up on as a kid. (and he loved Dude Love as an adult) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is TMZ and not you, but wouldn't disposing of a house (were such necessary) be EASIER without divorce proceedings and such entering into it?

SirSmUgly Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 They're probably fine in Tennessee. It's not a state that might recognize their buying of a house and living together as proof of a common-law marriage. However, it depends on each individual state's laws: re common-law marriages and community property, and even if they are just cohabitating, there of course can still be legal proceedings when deciding what to do with a property after the end of a relationship. Still, TMZ is wrong to insinuate that buying a house without being married is significantly more risky for either party than if they did it while married. Basically, if you buy a house with someone else and it doesn't work out, if you can't agree on how to deal with the property after the relationship dissolves, you'll have issues no matter the context.

Cristobal Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Lana's like the chick in From Russia With Love. She was under orders from Putin to seduce an up-and-coming Bulgarian wrestler and bring him over to their side. She stays with him to ensure he remains loyal to Mother Russia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyWhioux Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 They are seriously my favorite thing in wrestling right now. I want a face turn and in ring wedding ala Randy and Liz. Imagine the pop when Rusev wins her back: "Lanaaaaa... Vill you... Vill you Merry mey?" "DA!" Bray Wyatt to ruin their reception by putting a snake in one of the wedding gifts. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSJ Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Funny thing is, we'd seen this before (sort of) Flair/Steamboat with Terry Funk's post-match attack on Flair.Yeah, there were significant differences, but that was pretty much a perfect scenario too. I don't have enough good things to say about Zayn at this point. If it weren't for Finn Balor, Zayn would be my favorite working today. I will admit that my Irish bias is showing just a tad. I'd agree but I thought they hammed it up too much when the ref was down for seemingly 5 minutes and Sami struggled with his conscience for most of that time. Otherwise, it was excellent.
