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

Servers back to normal.

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

He's the only guy on the roster that gets booed for his antics

KO and Jericho get laughed at a lot... Miz literally gets booed

 

[Skyjacker]

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

There was less padding on the main roster as well.

 

[Jmare007]

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

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.

Ehh, that I don't totally agree with. Crowds are more apathetic to Reigns that they have ever been to Cena. The "dueling chants" aren't as strong as they are/were on Cena's matches, and the atmosphere isn't as strong either. Fans boo the shyt out of the guy but strangely they don't go full "let's cheer his opponent" as much as they did with Cena.

His reaction is more of a "fukk you WWE, we want another guy as the n°1" than crowds actually having fun hating him. That's why a heel turn is even more obvious than with Juanito.

That's has no correlation whatsoever on me thinking Reigns is good in the ring

How you figure? They put Reigns with a bunch of great, seasoned workers that are tasked with carrying him and putting him over, they also come up with a bunch of transparent fukkery to get Roman rests during long matches because he cant otherwise wrestle long matches, they sell and protect his finishers, have him win clean, everyone is specifically told to make Roman look strong, all in an effort to convince people that he's good. You watch all this and come to the conclusion that he's good, but it has nothing to do with WWE's plans to do exactly that?

The Bo$$ with the GOAT

HITGOAT stay with those brown honey dips.

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

Take a z-pak and get out there tomorrow night in a tables match with the Dudleyz, DAMMIT! :cokevince:

 

[JoogJoint]

KO owns right now. HOW could you not love this man?!

I've now seen that Diesel having good matches with good wrestlers meant he sucked, and Roman having good matches with good wrestlers means he sucks. That shyt makes no sense. A good wrestler can't carry a shytty wrestler to a good match. It can't be done. If a dude is consistently having good-great matches with good-great talent, that means he's good-great as well.

 

[jackswstd]

Helluva match from Roman & AJ, I'm legit disgusted my hometown had the gall to chant "you can't wrestle".

Vince's announcement was and once again we are not rid of authority figures because eventually Trips will come back. I'm betting they're keeping him away to avoid any Chyna chants.

Glad Enzo is good, that could've easily went a lot worse. Better a concussion than a broken neck, but it sucks for Cass.

Didn't catch much else because of GOT but I did see Lil' Naitch pull a screw job in the Women's Title match. I could've gone about the rest of life without another revisit of that again.

 

[JoogJoint]

HITGOAT made a showing.
I hope he didn't take any bumps.

 

[jwinfield]

All the excitement/predictions about the bullet club and they might as well have not interfered.

They haven't even made them look legit.

Yeah, all that buildup for nothing.

And I've never understood the, "It's a no DQ match, we're gonna go in and beat the shyt out of this dude so our guy can get the 3 count, oh, he kicked out at 2, but instead of going back in to beat his ass some more, we're just gonna chill and observe the rest of the match."

I actually turned the tv down and shifted my focus to something else, it was hard for me to watch after what I thought was seeing the moment a man became paralyzed.
