I think the match up with Reigns is pretty good actually, just have to look past the finisher eating he was doing. I'm looking forward to the next match.

Not a clockwork Orange! Lol
I think they over think these games. They don't even have to think for this. Just make it loose and fun.
They don't over think it. The dev is run like a factory that just churns out WWE's annual digital product.
He practically wrestled circles around Reigns and did 80-90% of the match.
And he made Reigns look strong while making himself look like a million dollars.
Awesome so they let him be AJ styles. I will have to find a way to watch it

I've seen some clips of the main event, that forearm to the outside looked fantastic.
From the writeups the match was an overbooked mess though, I guess they're going to push the fact AJ won 2-1 on the night?

It's WWE. It's very possible they won't.

I'm reasonably certain AJ can work well with anybody. The match just has to be booked to play to his and his opponent's strengths. I think the reason those Jericho matches weren't that great was because Jericho was still trying to wrestle as a Cruiserweight, when he's way past his shelf life on that front. If they reinforced his cunning, strategy, and rule-bending, I think the matches would have been better.
The AJ/Roman match worked because each guy was booked to their strengths. AJ's athleticism and technique were highlighted, as was Roman's power.

I think Vince needs to be exposed to Botchedspot.

It's such a shame. They're still not over Bryan. They had to get him AND Seth physically killed, and now they're getting Styles and Dean mentally killed. For what???? #OneMan ??

Reigns/AJ was pretty much Luger/Perfect II. Perfect did all the work, wrestling around the ring while Luger stood in the middle of the ring and just won with his shitty finish.

AJ carrying trash 'chosen one' champions with unimpressive bodies is his forte
Okada is that bad?

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"

AJ looks like Wrestling Jace Beleren from Magic: the Gathering.
You've already buried them! Hogan pls!
One person was getting booed all night and had fans chanting You Can't Wrestle at them early on in the fight. The other is a THREE TIME WORLD CHAMPION. Facts don't lie.

Yep. I'm even surprised at Dave
Meltzer said:
Why wouldn't people love to boo him? They love to cheer him, they love to boo him. The people love Roman Reigns, and you can't teach that

I'm guessing that Davey Richards's career is done.

Reigns' failure to improve in the last 2 years of being the best wrestler in kayfabe suggests very strongly that there are in fact things you can't teach.
I guess I just tune out the commentary to the point I haven't really noticed them even playing off the boos. Seems like they just ignore it.

He's clearly improved in the last two years.
He's clearly not remotely their best worker, but he has absolutely come a long way. If you think his earliest singles matches and promos are on par with what he is doing now, you are just flat out deluding yourself.

I'm 30 minutes into A Clockwork Orange and it's been more coherent than the past 10 years of WWE television.

Is it meant to be incoherent and hard to understand? I never felt that way about it. It's a pretty straight forwards story, that has a sprinkling of made up slang. It's no Lost Highway.
Is that not Bobby Jindal in your avatar? I am so confused. Quote the avatar bet or something.

The ole in and out
Its no bet. The bucs drafted a kicker in the 2nd. Something that nearly every football expert and fan would pan regardless of the talent or need at the position.
somebody in the NFL thread made the avatar so I picked it up for a bit.

Fans need to change their game up then. Unleash the BORING chant at Roman. Chant "we hate Roman". Chant "go away". Chant "Roman's napping" whenever he's taking one of his many mid-match rest spots. Turn away from the ring. Walk out of the arena whenever Roman wrestles.
Because, apparently, they've been outsmarted by Vince and company once again and "booing Roman" is how one shows appreciation for him and the fans LOVE doing it and that's why they're coming out to WWE events. Not for anyone else. But for their champion... Roman Reigns... that they love and revere and boo their little hearts out for. That is the new narrative.

This shouldn't surprise anyone
Made me laugh.
The solution to someone in the main event that you don't care about is to do nothing during their matches. Cena himself even said, multiple times, 'as long as you're reacting because a quiet crowd is what kills you.'
But because we live in the era of ECW crowds, Full Sail, Smarky chants that need to get over and NEED to be heard, and Europeans singing. That will never ever happen again. People in the crowds love to hear their own voice.

Omega vs. Elgin for the IC title is really good, plus check out the Elimination match main events from the Korakuen shows. If you have time, the various tag matches between KUSHIDA/Shibata vs. Liger/Nagata are pretty fun.
You can skip Tanahashi vs. Fale.
He already does that in interviews though.
