pls come back stro, you're losing it.
Omerta is as dead as kayfabe.
The best part is he storms to ringside to grab the flag, returns to the ring and waves it defiantly. It's clear that Rusev has the improv ability needed to get the ball, and I'm sure Vince took notice tonight.

i don't think stro has the money to afford this

Daniel Bryan would've been perfect for that spot.

Rusev and Lana (and to an extent JBL) were so on the ball in reacting to this. As someone getting back to wrasslin, it's kind of amazing seeing them pull off the Russian gimmick so well.

I wonder how stockholders or Directors of the Board feel about HHH running the WWE without a college education? That's gotta be a much bigger hindrance to him than the Stephanie stuff.

Don't worry, all his fans will be quoting it all week so you won't miss a thing.
Hot damn. Are they still going forward with Cena / Rusev?

I wish he could just hold me in his arms.

The same stockholders that believe WWE's stair stats will have no problem accepting a Greenwich Blueblood into the board room.

Did you beat the crap out of them?
I'm glad you liked it, friend. Marky Mark never lets me down.

They chanted "Leo Kruger" at Adam Rose. "Husky Harris" at Bray. Yelled a "Paul Wight sucks" chant.
Just stuff like that.

why did you boo Bryan when he said he would beat Reigns?
I swear I heard someone call Luke Harper "Brodie" during his match.

After the show, that guy had a crowd around him while people chanted Boogeyman. Still had the mask on. Didn't stay to see what happened.
that totally caught me off guard, was it loud on TV
They were chanting that as well. It was just 2 of them tho.

so it was arean-wide? the crowd noise fluctuated throughout the show so I wasn't sure
interesting

Man, I can't stop laughing at this. I never understood the appeal of Sting. What are some of his best matches?

Pretty loud; almost sounded like half the arena.

It sounded like an audible boo to me. They also seemed pretty pro Roman. But at times, anti Roman as well. Who knows.
All in all, it was a fun time. No dark match. Bryan ended the show with Yes chants on the ramp.

Yeah it sounded split. Like 50% for Reigns, 50% for Bryan.

"Live tv, right?"
His favorite past time is not catching people though.

At least we'll get a good match out of Reigns. If anybody can get a good match out of Reigns, it's Bryan.
And Rollins.

He just won the Royal Rumble and a Wrestlemania main event.
He got a polarizing reaction.
He just got potentially screwed out of his Wrestlemania match by The Authority.
Try to keep up, bird brain. It's not difficult.

I have to wonder if it has to do with Bryan saying he was going to beat the guy that helped him get the opportunity? It's a weird dynamic either way, and I don't think the WWE can remotely pull off the kind of perfect booking necessary to get the WM crowd to cheer him over Lesnar, but I'm guessing that it at least kills any chance of Bryan actually winning at Fast Lane.

You would probably have to go back to 94 or 95 to find a good match. Flair carried him to a few back then. Sting has always been a slightly better than average worker who was carried by his character.

Why did they use black to define his face but not his torso muscles? Looks like he's wearing a white sweater.

There was no reason for Bryan to say that than to legit get heat.
They probably want the crowd split, it helps sour on Bryan, and helps Reigns look good. They are doing a pretty good job of it in my opinion, because Reigns came off pretty well telling Bryan his place in the locker room, and Bryan looking like a chump weasel trying to insert himself into the match, again.
Also, Rusev's pride in the U.S Title is so awesome. If Cena isn't going for the title, then he's really continuing to be the biggest jerk.

Is it gonna run over him oh-so slow?
If anything they'll try to turn Bryan heel before they try to turn Reigns heel.
And Cena/Rusev is a US title match, so that probably guarantees Rusev winning the match at Fast Lane.
Sting/DDP back in '99 I believe on Nitro for the WCW title was the last time I remember being impressed with a Sting match. Crowd was really hot which helped.

I'd actually embrace a Bryan heel turn. Then his match with Ziggler at Mania will make more sense story-wise and then you have a clear program after mania with Reigns and Bryan. Turning Bryan heels does two things.
1.) Makes Reigns the de facto #2 babyface
2.) If Lesnar leaves, you have two top heels, Bryan and Rollins. Both of whom could have great matches with Reigns to help get him more over with the fans who haven't embraced him yet.
With that being said, they probably won't do it.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Reigns is still getting over with Vince. There's basically no way Bryan wins that match.

Yeah, I definitely see Bryan turning first. I think it's fairly obvious going by the way he keeps saying "I am doing this for you, I will beat Reigns for you"
Some fans don't want that, and it's antagonistic for a face like Bryan.
It's an easy, but lame set up to have him turn if that is what they want to do to his undying fanbase. The diehards will always cheer, but they can give him mixed reactions to water his perception down to Reigns/Cena level.
And awesome for Rusev...but he wont win cleanly, and will probably lose clean at Mania.
