Burgundy LaRue Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Just now, Matt D said: This is why we have message boards instead. Well, just about Seth Rollins instead. Heh. I mention because there has been an issue here at times and most of us have been around long enough where hopefully the candor is appreciated. It's certainly not as bad as other places I visit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 8 hours ago, Burgundy LaRue said: Trying to talk to the average Reigns detractor is a lost cause at this point. It's not even about him, it's how they insist on calling anyone who doesn't hate him stupid, WWE sheep, or far worse. Why have a conversation with anyone who clearly considers you lesser than them? And over wrestling, of all things. We all like a carny sideshow, you'd think that would result in some level of solidarity even if we don't agree. Roman calls out Mahal like an actual babyface would. When Mahal doesn't answer, Reigns finds him and whoops his ass. That's exactly what Roman should do. He doesn't do pandering well, so put him in situations where he can be in take-no-prisoners mode. Was the wall moment silly? Yes, only because the wall was blatantly fake. But that's a creative decision, nothing either wrestler chose. And that's the heart of the matter: wrestlers getting pissed on for what Vince decides. That's par for the course, but you'd think we'd be more sensitive to that in 2018. I'm more so trying to figure out how Roman has any claim to the Universal title? Was he screwed in the finish at GRR, sure... but he also had no business even being in the match after he lost at Mania clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 In my next D&D dungeon crawl I'm going to just keep spearing people into walls assuming that eventually it will reveal a secret passage. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 The announcers were amazing. Announcer: "The most divided reaction in the WWE Universe!" Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Announcer: "Well they either love him or hate him." Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Announcer: But you have to admit he got screwed and deserves another shot.... 1 hour later Same announcer: How many times is Kevin Owens going to demand a second chance? Other announcer: Even if he thinks he got screwed, he's had endless chances and hasn't gotten the job done. 1st announcer: It just pisses me off as a viewer. Let it end already, Kevin. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no different from Nakamura raking up frequent ring miles with AJ at this point. At least Brock/Roman is taking a breather and there's a decent story to be told overall if Creative sees it (shut up!). AJ/Nak just keeps nutting and nutting . . .

Matt D Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 In general, each Nak vs AJ match has been better than the last at least. Brock and Roman have the opposite trajectory. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy LaRue Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I find both points debatable, but just my opinion. And I hate you all for ignoring my attempt to go blue. It wasn't great, but still! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overly Critical Man Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 So now we're nitpicking about people getting undeserved title shots? Is it that hard to believe that the same Saudi Prince that wanted Yokozuna and Ultimate Warrior to show up on his fantasy booked card would also demand Roman Reigns wrestle Brock Lesnar in a steel cage?

They were getting huge reactions when they made their occasional TV appearances for a few months. It didn't last, it didn't lead to anything, but it got over.

Well the reason on television was because the Saudi prince wanted to see Brock Lesnar defend the universal title and Brock chose Roman for whatever reason, unclear on that... Roman theoretically should be grateful for the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
