[5/1] WWE Payback Thread: I Can Dig Rapping, I Can Dig Scrapping, But I Can't Dig Backstabbing

[TheGodling]

Why doesn't he have regular good matches without highly touted workers though? Did he outwork Cesaro or Bryan? Or Lesnar? Or AJ tonight? I want to see someone raise their hand if they believe that.

He does actually because he got in-ring presence and knows his role, but that's besides the point that it has nothing to do with him being outworked. We all know Cesaro or AJ are better wrestlers than him. That doesn't mean they did all the work when facing him and Roman had to be carried through the entire match. That's just bullshyt.

i used to hate Miz... Now I understand why

Dude is an excellent heel. He's genuinely just an unlike able character. I give Miz credit, he fits that role perfectly. I've grown to like how much I dislike Miz if that makes sense

Only other good heels are Jericho and KO simply because they use old school heel tactics

It's hard to tell who's a heel or face besides them.. These new era smark crowds have deaded the heel/face terms

Reigns might get booed 5 straight shows and cheered the 6th

Folks stay reaching to justify their dislike for the man, it's almost sad.

Its the cool thing to dislike him with a passion

I guess they've forgotten why though

but WWE is always wrong and the IWC is always right

he's been on a roll as of late.

a heel who gets constantly booed is a rarity now

Folks might've skipped over it but I distinctly heard a positive reaction from the crowd when Roman pinned AJ. Sure, a minute later or so they want back to booing but in the heat of the moment Roman can get the crowd to support him. Let's not forget when he won the championship on Raw and the Philly crowd chanted 'You deserve it'.

Yeah I don't get this, especially considering the PPV is already over and the playoffs most likely had bigger numbers. Just make the board private.

Not sure what was going on but the board was hard to post on..that's for damn sure.

 

[Jmare007]

Show match and Wyatt matches were not good or even memorable. The rest of those guys are great-elite workers and its no coincidence they were all tasked with convincing people like you that Reigns is good in the ring and doesnt get gassed in 10 minutes or less.

what the hell does that even mean

at modern day Big Show or Wyatt carrying anyone. People need to stop lying to themselves and just admit that Reigns is a solid worker.

It's amazing. It's not like we are saying Roman is the best wrestler on the planet or even in the damn company (though he's not THAT far off ) but the notion of dude being good in the ring being completely impossible to people is

A pop for 3 seconds is no accomplishment...what's wrong with fans these days? LOL

No, when everyone is booing him, that means the "cool" thing is to go against the "smarks" and pretend like Roman isnt garbage as the face of a company.

No one's forgotten why, stop acting like facts are excuses.

We all know that but you're trying to give someone who doesn't routinely have TV good matches like they do just as much as credit. It's a silly premise.

MAKE ROMAN LOOK STRONG

 

[Jmare007]

C-. Roman/AJ was great. Kalisto/Ryback was very fun. I wouldn't rewatch anything else on the card.




He was trying this:

but he made his slide too late. Can't believe Gotch went and grabbed him by the fukking head when Enzo was clearly on a different plane of existence

That's an unnecessarily dangerous spot. I hope he doesn't try to do it again.

booing Reigns is just the cool thing to do

Doesn't help that his character really hasn't changed ever since he debuted but a lot of the slack he gets I wouldn't even call his fault

He's just booked horribly

The same fans that do that to Cena: kids, women and cornball males.

That's has no correlation whatsoever on me thinking Reigns is good in the ring, that's why I asked
