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

[Ill Lou Malnati]

Didn't like the stops & starts of the main event but it turned out to be a very good match. Thought Balor would appear, but maybe at Extreme Rules?

McMahon segment ran way too long and the Montreal screw job tribute was dumb but the show was pretty good overall.

at Enzo though. That was scary.

 

[jwinfield]

So both Shane and Steph felt the need to come out and restart the main event, even if they ended for legitimate reasons, but they were cool with the ending of the Charlotte/Natty match

One of their refs called the match on some cheating shyt and they were in the back like

It's gonna be a slow burn. There will be some iteration of WWE Bullet Club, we just have to be patient. Either Finn or AJ will lead, or they all link up together.

Finn will be called up soon. There's nothing left for him to do in NXT. I expect him to play a major role in the group.

AJ is so fukking great. That forearm through the table was

Roman has gotten alot better. I'd say he's above average in the ring. Better than a good portion of the roster. He was realy good in this match. If he had more original finishers he'd be better overall. Like if he had an F5 or something.

Match was realy good despite the fukkery. Even the fukkery was ok lol. Best wwe match in a while.

AJ should have won after the 450 though. Hopefully Vince realy is impressed with AJ and gives him a run sometime

 

[jackswstd]

I don't trust them to do that at all.

It's gonna happen, whether it works is the real question.

AJ vs Reigns > Reigns vs HHH

AJ vs. anyone >>> HHH vs. anyone lol

Finn will be called up soon. There's nothing left for him to do in NXT. I expect him to play a major role in the group.

Was Finn legit injured in that match he lost the title? It looked like it. Maybe they were planning on him being here, but had to change with the injury

That AJ/Reigns match was carryjob 101

Styles needs a title run before the year is up.

Owens and Zayn at extreme rules

They should have Zayn beat Miz for the Intercontinental. Owens and Zayn in a ladder match

No

Somewhat maybe. I thought Reigns did his thing

Somewhat maybe. I thought Reigns did his thing

Without the selling and transitions from AJ that match falls flat. I'm not saying Roman didn't show but AJ brought that match up to another level when all those stops and interference could have made it boring. Also Roman's selling is still pretty bad but as long as he hits his key spots he's fine because they look good.

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

Talked about this years ago. Miz is a natural at this shyt

All of this is nonsense, because people don't boo bad performers if they're heel, it's just an IWC smark un-written rule or tendency almost. People will boo a face if they hate his work, but never a heel for the same reason.



The Miz I believe is a "natural heel"; nobody can tell me he wasn't getting real heat in 2011 when he was main eventing. I believe a facet of these "natural heels" is their affinity for being annoying on screen characters, like a Skylar White/King Joffrey type, or doing downright despicable things, and that's a personality The Miz plays perfectly, from his face to the way he talks to his catchphrases. How is "Really?" a worse catchphrase than "Excuse me"? Yet everybody gushes over how much heat Vickie got from saying that. And to the people claiming Miz ain't getting a reaction right now, He only returned 3 Raws ago, let the crowd re-familiarize and adjust first before one can try to gauge a reaction. Miz wasn't exactly on top of the world before he returned so it's not like he'd be getting super heat the moment he comes back anyhow (and despite that he actually was getting a lot of groans and moans from marks and smarks alike when he returned)

Honestly breh it sucked and these fans on here clearly don't remember classic wrestling matches between Angle, Jericho, Benoit, Guerro, Lesnar just to name a few.

20 minutes of slow sluggishness, 3 minutes of Uso's/Anderson/Gallows run ins, 2 minutes of finisher spamfests, spear #reignswinslol

Actually it was kinda lit except for the last few parts, but it was solid nonetheless.
