Roman Reigns is pretty much the Michael Bay movie of pro wrestlers but much nicer to look at.

Imagine Reigns through the eyes of Michael Bay. I don't think we could handle it.

breh gonna be the only face on the WM31 poster.
And he's related to Rock right? Hell, ride this for a bit and then bail. Be stupid not to.

The problem with reigns inst reigns. It's the WWE,a inability to let things breath. Instead they shove things in your face and down your throat and expect people to like it because they do it. It can be grating
Instead it's met with derision or apathy. Fandangong to the nth degree

Sina can suck it,he may have had 2 very good matches recently but he can still suck it.

Keep in mind Cener vs Bork 1 was one of the best matches that year.

I'd say the closest thing to a TNA type finish that New Japan has done with Bullet Club was the Dontaku finish when AJ won the belt, and the fans in Japan fucking hated that finish. So it's a stretch to say that they are "used to it".

Imagine Reigns giving a dap to Optimus while he superman punches Megatron in the head.
Didn't it do like 400,000 plus buys???? I know it was pretty huge.

It had a great fucking build up too... one of the greatest moments that year when Bork came out and F5'ed Cena while punting his baseball cap.

WWE is doing everything right on their end with Reigns.
Listening to Talk is Jericho. The Punk hockey story loool
That ending was non sense, though. It made no sense. Bork beats the PISS out of Cena the entire match. The only offense Cena really got was a punch with a chain and FU on the steps. Then he says he's really beat and is going to take time off, but never takes time off.
It didn't make sense for Cena's losing storyline. It didn't make sense to bring Bork back as the ultimate monster and have him conquered in his first match back. It just didn't make sense.

Until the ending.
Still better than all of Trips' matches, though (but not as good as the one the Skinny Fat Ass got out of Brock).

263,000. Nowhere near 400,000, but still one of the bigger non big-three shows in the last five or so years.
Will Mr.Sina shake my hand coz he respects the shit out of me?

His promo at the end seemed like he and everybody felt he was hurt and needed time off, but then they checked up with a doctor, it wasn't that bad, and jokes 21 hours later because why not

I can never really hate Cena. After all, I got into wrestling due in large part to Cena.

The only reaction Cena deserves is dead silent apathy with one's back turned away from the ring. Shame none of the haters have realized that. Clearly they're not too bright.

Dat ending man. Dude got mauled like a old shoe but no sold it like bork blew in his air. He cut a promo afterwards like we was suppose to actually care :/.
Cena would do some jedi mind trick promo causing the crowd to look at him. Cena is like that friend that pisses you off only to try to make you feel better...even though he's a jackass.

That was what got people to sit up and watch. Then next week when Bork bloodied Cener's lip..."Is he shooting? He's being a dick!" from many people. So well worked.

Just like when all the ECW fans turned their back on Sid when he appeared - oh right, they popped massively for him.
At the end of the day, the NXT fans are still just marks who got tired of going to TNA shows. They'll pop huge for John Cena just like they pop huge for every WWE superstar that shows up on NXT. The people who truly hate on John Cena are like libertarians - sure they exist, but the Internet makes them seem more numerous than they really are.

New Japan notes from the Observer;
Yottsume, iirc, said there's a ton of interest in the Seibu Dome final, as it's the first time a wrestling show has been held there. I'm really curious to how it's going to look, being a baseball stadium and all. Should make for an amazing final night of what's hopefully an amazing tournament.
Also, a note about ROH;
Hope they don't get poached, but I wouldn't be surprised as Kyle is Davey Richards' student.

If I know Cena, he's already got a promo rehearsed on the off-chance he gets that exact reaction from a house show crowd or at a taping.

He'll have to update his material now that Daniel Bryan's stock has fallen.

I think the Dominion sell-out is more of a credit to how much of a draw Nakamura is. They could put him in there with almost anyone and draw.

Nobody has mastered the face popularity leech effect quite like Cena.
He'd pal around with Sami Zayn, they'd tag in a match together, stereo five knuckle shuffles, Cena would lead an Olé chant, he'd even let Sami get the pin.

Friends, you're just proving that Sina is the Master of the Mic. Some dipshit smark crowd will never get the upperhand on him.
