I was expecting a dq finish. Very good match though. Rollins has assumed the Daniel Bryan sport of the workhorse of the company.

Hopefully he doesn't have the same fate as Bryan for doing all these matches.

He had neck problems even before he made it to developmental.

You know Ziggly can actually cut a fucking promo...I seen his work throughout the years, especially him destroying Mick Foley a few years ago. I just don't understand why WWE tries to make him something he's not, when in fact he's a natural.

How is this whole gimmick not super racist?

I honestly didn't know that was WWE related until I looked up from my laptop. Also :lol at Vince caring whether or not anything involving a black wrestler is racist.

Wait was he literally shining shoes in that?

beyond the sing songy black church stuff in the background, there isn't much stereotyping to it - although that's probably enough in the context of wrestling.

the lame is just that they've relegated the only 3 black actors on the roster except titus who i'm even aware of to this shitty sideshow gimmick that doesn't matter for anything when kofi is capable of putting on some good matches and i'm sure big e is too, haven't seen xavier. it's just...it feels like segregation or some less inflammatory word that means the same thing.

edit:

oh and r truth shows up while i'm typing that. i forgot about him, i figured he was old and kinda retired cos i heard he did things in that past.

That's the problem. If a guy gets over by being themselves then the WWE can't take credit for it.
They're only allowed to get over by being completely manufactured (unless they're in NXT).

I actually really thing Rose is a pretty damn solid performer in the ring...but they need to give him back the Leo Kruger gimmick.
