World Title match and they chant for "Developmental"
This is how you kill your product.

Vince: Its time to put NXT in its place.

 

[espher]

Hahaha I never knew those were wooden ladders just painted

I don't think they all are but there have been a few tonight that seemed to have a weird non-sheen for metal ladders. Certainly the two that broke tonight.

 

[The Silver]

I feel like Austin is having an aneurysm, where's the selling, the flow, the pacing.

JESUS CHRIST SOMEBODY TELL HIM TO STOP COCKING HIS WRIST

There are many bad things about the Reigns character, but this is by far the worst for me. I could get past everything else, but every time he cocks his wrist it's just the lamest thing. It's not cool theatrics; it's just lame.

It'd be one thing if he just did it in the ring for showmanship, but he references the idea of "cock this hear wrist" in promos, too. Like... does anyone at the WWE actually think that's cool?

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Thought they'd raise the belt up then.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Booooo

 

[Angry Grimace]

Why woud Reigns let go of the ladder if Sheamus was moving you away from it?

 

[Hidden One]

Pretty sure the ladders used to be metal

 

[Brinbe]

Atrocious

 

[Ithil]

If Cena's music hit there he would have gotten such an ovation.

 

[Officerrob]

Ouch

 

[TheSchwab_7]

This is so bad. No one cares about this match. I've been watching old 2000-2002 main events and almost every main even the crowd is so involved.

 

[bean breath]

F*ck!

 

[8BitsAtATime]

How is this worse then the Diva match

 

[Freddy=Legend]

So far this match isn't as bad as I thought it would be, but riddle me one thing real quick:

Why is Reigns struggling so much here when I've seen him effortlessly beat the combined efforts of Sheamus, Wade Barrett, Rusev, and Alberto del Rio for WEEKS on free TV? Did Sehamus level up off screen at some point?

He pulled some Frieza shit & finally decided to train for the first time. Got him up to par in no time.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

why the fuck did Sheamus throw him like that?

 

[Toki767]

Reigns can't even take a correct bump off a ladder.

 

[TimeEffect]

Lmao

 

[kylecoley182]

i miss john cena, words i thought i would never say

Honestly if he did it when he had time to prime it, and it was a little slower and more deliberate -- for showmanship, like you said -- I'd be OK with it. But the fact that it's literally a quarter second when he's going for the fast punch is what kills me.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Reigns is Hulking Up lmao

 

[JTripper]

This match is hard to watch.

 

[Brinbe]

eww.... =(

LOL THIS IS THE ENDING TO THUNDER

 

[Vestal]

Look roman fucked up again

 

[ramoisdead]

Lawl Barrett no where in sight.

 

[Anth0ny]

and the crowd doesn't care one way or another

 

[painey]

please no

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Yup here it comes. Reigns reign begins....wait wtf!?!?!?!?!

 

[Officerrob]

This is some WCW Thunder crap

 

[Couleurs]

Aww yeah let the shenanigans begin

 

[D4Danger]

is a punch considered a finisher nowadays? they're going on about it like it was so masterful wrestling technique

 

[Dark Ninja]

Lol That Roman bump he's so green

[Sillution]

Fuck this

 

[hamchan]

Ugh

 

[Fox318]

Some buddy Ambrose is

 

[jwhit28]

I-I think they made me feel something for Roman. What is this?

 

[Sibersk Esto]

This could be the best match in the history of wwe and the crowd wouldnt get behidn it. That is no bearing to the match itself.

This match is pretty bad though

 

[SquashMatch]

This booking is fucking absurd .He was finally getting cheered too

 

[Violence Jack]

Yep. Knew that was coming.

No Ambrose?

 

[Angry Grimace]

Why don't Reigns freinds help

or CENA PLEASE

 

[Geeun]

This is stupid

 

[Bluekaveli]

Called it 3 weeks ago.

 

[Kaladin]

No fucks given for League of Nations. Crowd is dead silent.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

This is so bad. No one cares about this match. I've been watching old 2000-2002 main events and almost every main even the crowd is so involved.

They were in Atlanta, like, a month ago

You remember that Goldberg/Hogan match they had? Rewatch the video and gif of that, and then mourn because you're never seeing WWE get crowds to be that consistently hype for that long again

 

[Morfeo]

We knew it was going to end like this, with the League of Nations lol.

 

[Hidden One]

Some buddy Ambrose is

I don't recall reigns helping Ambrose against the Wyatts much.

 

[Tagyhag]

Welp, Roman is winning the Rumble.

 

[Nori Chan]

YES SAVED

 

[Ithil]

WE'RE OUTTA TIME SEE YOU ON NITRO
