A great story can make people care about a match at a higher level. That's obvious.

But you can have a great match without a great story. Nakamura is over enough already (especially when the PPV is in a hot town like Chicago), that the crowd will be super into the match no matter what.

I'm just saying. Nakamura's main roster, in ring debut has had a shit build.

If this was a loser leaves town/goodbye Ziggler forever stip, imagine how much more people would care.

 

[Bluekaveli]

The worst thing is that Orton hasn't even really interacted with Jinder. Such horrible planning. Jinder's running through everyone else.

crowd's finally hot for the match

I mean the build to Nakamura's first NXT match was literally "hey look, Nakamura's coming!"

He didn't even physically show up at all before the match.

And that went just fine.

Last minute shit gets you trash.

JINDER!

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

well then

And that went just fine.

It was also against Zayn, who was beloved on NXT and everyone knew it was his last NXT match before the callup.

This is against Ziggler and the build contained a promo about Nakamura being Michael Jackson.

For the record, I'm not saying the match will be bad. It will probably be fine. It is just disappointingly handled.

 

[blackaroni]

Jinder getting the W on Sunday. :blessed:

 

[Zabka]

Crowd was actually into that match at the end. It was pretty good.

Jesus...Jinder's tricep acne. Totally clean though.

 

[somedevil]

I guess they scrapped the rusev thing for this week or they will do it on talking smack.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Welp like I said, Jinder won't win. Last hit means you lose. Orton will reverse the kallas

 

[Wagram]

Glad I watched Smackdown tonight.

That's outside of their control now though. The damage is done on Dolph. No amount of build in six weeks would make people care about him in any significant way.

My point is that the match will almost certainly be a great match. Could it be better? Yeah, every match could be better. But it'll be really good irrelevant of the build.

 

[RecRoulette]

Give Jinder the belt.

 

[Laws00]

Did orton dye his hair and beard? It's looking a lot dark at least right now.

 

[serenewarfare]

Randy Orton will reverse the Kallas into the RKO and pin Jinder

 

[Hidden One]

Did orton dye his hair and beard? It's looking a lot dark at least right now.

He looks like he did on Smackdown in 2012.

I'd appreciate more variety on 205 please.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Gran Metalik on 205!

 

[serenewarfare]

METALIK

HE ESCAPED MAIN EVENT

Spoiler

He's gonna lose

 

[excelsiorlef]

Holy fuck it's Gran Metalik

 

[Sinatar]

About fucking time they get Gran Metalik on 205 live.

It's a small step up over Main Event at least.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Watch him job to Dar

 

[Bluekaveli]

They're probably trying to introduce gran so they can move him toward a feud with BK

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

I'm gonna guess Rusev shows up after Orton retains and attacks him. Cuts a promo next Tuesday in rage of how he was going to take matters into his own hands since Shane wouldn't comply.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Metalik is getting a gut. Get the man a Rey Mysterio shirt.

 

[Pikma]

What

 

[Beefy]

Metalik is getting a gut. Get the man a Rey Mysterio shirt.

I was just about to say the same thing ha

I hear Metalik does have a lot of lessons to learn

Bwhahahahaha

 

[serenewarfare]

As expected.

They bring him in to job.

 

[excelsiorlef]

TOLD YA

 

[Beefy]

haha

 

[Dark Ninja]

Metalik pulled a Hogan and tried to kick out after 3. Going into business for himself.

 

[Bluekaveli]

BWAHAHA!

YOU HAPPY PIKMA!?

 

[somedevil]

ha

NO YOB,
NO YOB
NO YOB!!!!!!

 

[serenewarfare]

It's funny too because Metalik ended up just looking better than Dar and the crowd was getting into him and then they pinned him, which anyone with a brain could have predicted.

 

[excelsiorlef]

This has been a 4 month fucking feud. Die already

 

[serenewarfare]

Please fucking god let this street fight be the end of this feud.

Tozawa just shoot and end Brian Kendrick so he leaves.

 

[excelsiorlef]

I actually really like Kendrick but fuck 4 months

 

[Bluekaveli]

Well next week is the end of the line

 

[ReiGun]

ha

LOL

 

[Beefy]

This is why I hardly watch 205, this shit Kendrick feud.

 

[Dark Ninja]

I actually really like Kendrick but fuck 4 months

Long-Term Storytelling™

ha

Why can't we get this asshole Orton on Smackdown.

 

[serenewarfare]

At least they are hyping Cedric's return next week.

But they'll probably feud him with Dar again because they have no original ideas.

I am remembering why I stopped watching 205 Live.
