The amount of rose colored nostalgia people viewed that Sting/HHH shitfest through was amazing

God this show is awful. I'm turning it off. Edge & Christian should be ashamed.
Please for the love of God.

On top of the horrible booking, their garbage stream couldn't even play without skipping or dropping to 240p.

You have to be able to get up and run. Chairshots to the back after all the exertion to powerout of the Kimura should keep you down or visibly affect how you deliver the spear. None of that happened Reigns just no sold it all.
His punches are terrible and his punches are 90% of his offense along with that contrived clothesline. He's shown he can do better and he's still one of very few people in WWE who could actually convincingly pull off the "Get the shit kicked out of him to win in the end" thing.
And I was way off on Ambrose. I thought he'd be great after the SHIELD and wondered if Rollins would get lost in the shuffle as a talented wrestler with no discernible way of selling a character.
Swing and a miss.
Ambrose's strengths have disappeared and his weaknesses - actual wrestling - have gotten weaker.

I mean unfortunately, Lesnar & Reigns just can't have one of three best main events in WM history because Brock isn't involved. But, that just confirms the Reigns political hit for me.
Run Shinsuke. Run.

That poor poor guy thinking this'll be a great run for him.

His future is Kaientai.
Talented is a subjective thing, but I disagree with you on that point. I really enjoy his ring work. He has a natural sort of fluidity in the ring that reminds me a lot CM Punk. Yes, the rebound is stupid, but the clothesline that follows is great. He never looks lost in a match.
I really don't understand how you could say he's not charismatic. The only thing that carried this whole angle all month was the mic work of Dean and Paul Heyman, and it was a pretty fair split. He's on a promo level several tiers above 90% of the roster, including the guy that just won the match.
The whole "he's only over because smarks cheer for him" is a lame argument and always has been. It was wrong when it was levied against Punk, it was wrong when it was levied against Bryan, and it's wrong in this case, as well.

This pretty much nails it. Ambrose sucks. These crowds boo Roman at this point mainly because they know they are supposed to boo him to show what smarks they are.

AT this point I have to start to wonder if deep inside of WWE, Vince and his crew basically have convinced themselves (maybe justifiably?) that by being terrible they are somehow "meta-over" with the vocal, angry, unsatisfied portion of their fanbase, because in order to still participate in the zeitgeist of how terrible WWE is, they still have to watch RAW and buy the Network.

You don't tell Vince who the guy is or isn't pal.
Get that stuff out of here, they boo him cause they don't like him and don't want him to be the guy.

Maybe Vince knows something that you don't know.
And I'm out. Consistently booking the most over face in the company to lose #1 contender and WWEWHC matches is fine as long as there's some payoff, but it's been about a year and eight months now of this bullshit and there's just no end in sight.
See you at Mania.

If it makes you feel better, they actually failed to sell out this PPV
I was almost right.
at least not the the shield look and gimick.
Shield is dead and the other 2 changed for the better.

I know they have in the past. Didn't know if there would be one for both, or one for the whole weekend (Takeover/WM/Raw).
Canceling the network because of a result of a shitty throwaway PPV right before the biggest show of the year.

What a stupid thing to say. But, I guess stupid is what you got to be to think Ambrose doesn't deserve that Mania main-event spot.
