Orton shitted on indy wrestling in a smark town... It'll be interesting to see what his reaction will be.

When was this?

People are rightfully bored of Randy. Smackdown is in serious need of heels but a heel Randy seems too soon after the Bray thing

Im excited for RuRu filling that gap

 

[serenewarfare]

Again, I don't watch Smackdown, but AJ isn't a "face".

AJ as a face was a disaster. Right now he is an over heel.

No. He's absolutely a face. Has been since WM. If you watched SD, you'd know that.

He's a face. He turned after Mania.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Sooner or later, everyone will come around to the Maharaja.

If Jinder ends up at the top of the card for months cutting the same promos and having mediocre matches pretty sure people here will turn on him pretty quickly.

 

[Kusagari]

AJ right now is basically a tweener done right.

 

[Sanjuro]

No. He's absolutely a face. Has been since WM. If you watched SD, you'd know that.

He's a face. He turned after Mania.

He still has his cocky attitude he developed with Gallows and Anderson. He didn't revert back to his face character.

He is doing it right.

 

[geomon]

AJ as a face was a disaster. Right now he is an over heel.

He's a tweener, like Charlotte.

 

[Kurita]

Well you don't watch Smackdown so you don't know what you're talking about. He is absolutely face now. A cocky one, sure, but a face regardless.

 

[Professor Beef]

He's a face. He turned after Mania.

Show some respect, excelsior; he's the Face That Runs The Place.

 

[Sanjuro]

He's a tweener, like Charlotte.

Hah. I didn't know that was the term the kids were using!

Funnily enough, tonight was the first night they didn't announce him as that.

He's a tweener, like Charlotte.

Which is amazing considering this is the WWE! Well, more Charlotte than AJ

 

[TimeEffect]

AJ right now is basically a tweener done right.

How so? He doesnt attack faces anymore.

Bray seems like more of a tweener.

AJ is a face who is still cocky of his abilities. he's not humble or anything

Twitter...

He tweeted this

 

[Sanjuro]

No, I do, because I've seen how he acts. I don't know the context of what his narrative is, which really doesn't factor in.

 

[Toki767]

I wish the Network gave you more language options than just Spanish considering they have a ton of broadcast teams.

 

[Bronx-Man]

On one hand, Randy sucks as champion. On the other hand, jesus christ Jinder would suck as champion.






Fuck it, have Pete Dunne wreck shit and become triple champion.

 

[hom3land]

Are they wearing boots? Or covers over shoes?

 

[Data West]

yall


this match is pretty boring so far

 

[excelsiorlef]

yall


this match is pretty boring so far

It's solid

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Really meh match here

 

[geomon]

On one hand, Randy sucks as champion. On the other hand, jesus christ Jinder would suck as champion.






Fuck it, have Pete Dunne wreck shit and become triple champion.

I'd be ok with that.

 

[Anth0ny]

Orton shitted on indy wrestling in a smark town... It'll be interesting to see what kind of reaction he'll get.

Here's a preview:

CM PUNK CM PUNK CM PUNK

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Fuck it, have Pete Dunne wreck shit and become triple champion.

Give Dunne all of the belts.

 

[Rimfya]

It's impossible for Jinder to be a worse champ than Orton

 

[Raw64life]

Now that Mauro's gone that move is called the "connects to the back of the neck".

 

[spindashing]

I miss Mauro calling the Ushigoroshi

Edit: I see that I am not alone.

 

[Sanjuro]

America First.

 

[tmac456]

Slow pace so far but enjoying it. Only a matter of time...

 

[Sinatar]

yall


this match is pretty boring so far

Outside of the Breezango/Uso's match this whole card has been pretty boring.

 

[Rimfya]

Now that Mauro's gone that move is called the "connects to the back of the neck".

Ha. Just said out loud "doesn't that move have a name?"

 

[excelsiorlef]

That move was sick.

 

[ambar_hitman]

I miss Mauro calling the Ushigoroshi

Edit: I see that I am not alone.

Me too. These moron commentators need to go.

 

[serenewarfare]

No, I do, because I've seen how he acts. I don't know the context of what his narrative is, which really doesn't factor in.

He's not a heel. He's facing heels exclusively and is cheered by the fans. He's a face. A different kind of face than most in WWE, but a face nonetheless. He's positioned as a good guy.

 

[Sanjuro]

This isn't a bad match. Grandmama is still the best match for reasons I will probably never know.

 

[ramoisdead]

Great match so far.

Again, I wish Mauro was calling this.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Now that Mauro's gone that move is called the "connects to the back of the neck".

Tom Phillips normally does say the name of the move.

 

[Hex]

Bah gawd he killed Styles

 

[excelsiorlef]

This isn't a bad match. Grandmama is still the best match for reasons I will probably never know.

Great match so far.

Again, I wish Mauro was calling this.

WrestleGAF!

 

[serenewarfare]

I miss Mauro calling the Ushigoroshi

Edit: I see that I am not alone.

Tom Phillips calls it the Ushigoroshi pretty much every week on SD.

 

[Sanjuro]

Sure, but AJ Styles as a face is an "aw shucks handshake". This is an extension of his heel character.

 

[sf2fanatic]

This is going to be amazing...

Do you want them to go right into Orton/Jinder after?... I wouldn't

I wanted this match last

 

[TheStruggler]

jesus...thouyght they were going for it

 

[tmac456]

Styles clash on apron tease had me marking out for a moment

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

This isn't a bad match. Grandmama is still the best match for reasons I will probably never know.

There was creativity sprinkled into the match.

Everyone else is just doing their routine. That the other person across the ring is the best player in the biz is incidental.

Literally, this is a "okay you did ur spot now I do mine" match.

 

[serenewarfare]

Sure, but AJ Styles as a face is an "aw shucks handshake". This is an extension of his heel character.

Yes, it's a different kind of babyface than he normally does and is a natural face evolution from his heel persona. Doesn't make him a heel.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Siiiick ankle lock

 

[Toki767]

I hate how a knee injury turns into an ankle lock that doesn't actually target the knee.

 

[Rockandrollclown]

Ankle lock actually looked painful for once.

 

[ambar_hitman]

Styles is a face guys. He turned on Smackdown after mania. He is no tweener. A cocky face but not a tweener. You always know he will be a good guy in a match. His promos are also pro crowd.
