Commentary blows as usual. They act like Nakamura has never wrestled before.

This is what drags everything for me. Like at least acknowledge Nakamura's 2 NXT title reigns.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

Man I was starting to doze off there for a sec.

 

[Foggy]

They say "oh this is why they call him king of strong style" when he isn't doing strong style things.

His US stint in a nutshell

 

[meppi]

Sheesh, the camera work is even worse than the last time I bothered to watch WWE.

It's godawful at this point.

 

[Rimfya]

At least we can always reminisce about Nakamura vs. Zayn last year before the WWE ruined him.

Evidence needed

 

[Rhaknar]

Match is alright...

...i guess ine expects more than "alright" with Nakamura. Or at least we used to.

 

[Pikma]

Ziggler is horrible

 

[NateDrake]

They should've had Nakamura kick Ziggler's ass quickly and made him look strong. They destroyed the hype around him.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

I'm hoping it picks up but this is just okay so far.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Weak match. Send him back to NXT

 

[tmac456]

Would've rather had them book Nak really strong and squash Dolph

 

[Bronx-Man]

"Where you going boy"

Dolph calling a monitory "boy"

Trump's America

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Yeah, as a long time Nakamura fan...

this is...

this is a match...


...I guess.

Nakamura is over with his charisma, entrance etc. He doesn't have to work as hard in ring as he did in Japan. Unless he stops being over he can just phone it in.

Its probably harder for people who watched NJPW for years who have seen his best matches, seeing him sell to Ziggler is just awkward and strange because it isn't really believable.

Doesn't help Ziggler is in X-Pac heat territory.

 

[Brian_FETO]

I'm really glad I didn't buy a ticket to this

 

[Zabka]

Ziggler getting this much offense on Nakamura just drags him down.

 

[Toki767]

They should've moved Ziggler to Raw instead of Miz.

 

[serenewarfare]

They should've had Nakamura kick Ziggler's ass quickly and made him look strong. They destroyed the hype around him.

SD does not have enough guys for Dolph to be a jobber. Nakamura will be fine winning a competitive match.

 

[theaffection]

At least we can always reminisce about Nakamura vs. Zayn last year before the WWE ruined him.

To be fair Nakamura's health has reportedly
been declining due to injuries and years of the NJPW style

 

[The Strokes]

The match is okay.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

Fuck off Job Ziggler

 

[excelsiorlef]

Why is Ziggler doing all the offense...

Naka shouldn't actually be booked like John Cena

 

[RBH]

I'm really glad I didn't buy a ticket to this

Yup

 

[somedevil]

Weak match. Send him back to NXT

horrible post. Send him back to being a junior.

Pretty much this.

 

[Tom Nook]

Come on, make Naka strong.

Doesn't help Ziggler is in X-Pac heat territory.

I mean even in NJPW he would phone it in a lot of the time, so it's not really a surprise here.

 

[DMczaf]

This should have been a squash

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Fuck JBL said the line

 

[Beefy]

They are making Zig-heil look so damn strong

 

[Zabka]

This is dogshit booking

 

[serenewarfare]

Ziggler is competitive no matter who he's in the ring with, including main eventers. Why would Nakamura look weak taking offense from him? lol

 

[sf2fanatic]

horrible post. Send him back to being a junior.

I was expecting a Nak domination. If they are going to use him like this. Better off back at NXT. Cena already does/wrestle like this

 

[ambar_hitman]

Wtf is this match. Bullshit.

 

[excelsiorlef]

I mean even in NJPW he would phone it in a lot of the time, so it's not really a surprise here.

Tbh yeah.

Some of this is on Nak... his matches with Joe were meh too.

 

[Officerrob]

The booking of this match is fucking awful

 

[Sinatar]

This is as good of a match as you can get out of Ziggler.

 

[shwimpy]

Did Trump book this match? wtf?

 

[meppi]

This should have been a squash

It really should.
Ziggler isn't anywhere in the same league and it shows.

 

[Kusagari]

I noticed this starting as a trend back in NXT where most of the match would be Nakamura getting beat up while he hits his token spots and then overcomes the odds.

I really don't like it.

 

[Tom Nook]

Fuck this booking

 

[Foggy]

Single leg takedown Ziggles

 

[tmac456]

Just seems absurd they are booking Dolph to have this much offense when in reality Nak is the guy you want main events PPVs going forward. Typical WWE booking I guess.

 

[The Strokes]

Nakamura was never gonna squash Ziggler, you act like the guy, shitty as he may be, wasn't in the title picture for both the IC title and WWE Championship just last year.

 

[Beefy]

Now spitting in the face of a minority..... This is starting to piss me off a lil.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

I mean even in NJPW he would phone it in a lot of the time, so it's not really a surprise here.

I know, I didn't really write that post well. I just mean this match in particular is weird to watch after seeing his so many of his good matches.

He would phone it in during the entire G1 until the last couple of days.

 

[Pikma]

They should've had Nakamura kick Ziggler's ass quickly and made him look strong. They destroyed the hype around him.

Would've rather had them book Nak really strong and squash Dolph

Sit on his in ring debut for two months and have it end up being a jobber match, you guys are worse bookers than Vince

 

[Anth0ny]

Nakamura come back to new Japan 🤼*♂️

 

[excelsiorlef]

I noticed this starting as a trend back in NXT where most of the match would be Nakamura getting beat up while he hits his token spots and then overcomes the odds.

I really don't like it.

Literal John Cena booking

 

[DMczaf]

Single leg takedown Ziggles

He can't even shoot the fucking single

Fox, remove this filth

 

[Sinatar]

Crowds asleep.
