August 24, 201510 yr comment_5694264 So is this going to be like the last Owens match only about 20 minutes longer?
August 24, 201510 yr comment_5694265 Your boy John is particularly pensive tonight Jimmy Redman He's thinking about his nose.
August 24, 201510 yr Author comment_5694266 Rollins has the world's worst heel offense. He's not a heel in this match.
August 24, 201510 yr comment_5694267 Really odd that Rollins isn't going after the face nor the announcers even talking about it. I get they don't want to do anything too risky there, but given how hard it was pushed in the build you'd expect some kind of nod to it. Cena even acknowledged it when throwing punches by protecting his face, but the announcers refused to touch it.
August 24, 201510 yr comment_5694268 They've name checked Flair enough times I'm half expecting him to come out to screw Cena and protect his record.
August 24, 201510 yr comment_5694269 Rollins has the world's worst heel offense. He's not a heel in this match. Yeah, is this supposed to be WM 23 or something? A fucking frog splash?
August 24, 201510 yr comment_5694275 I swear I read someone predict that exact same finish weeks ago. Was it here?
August 24, 201510 yr comment_5694277 OK, that was stupid as fuck. That's some Vince Russo levels of stupid shit.
August 24, 201510 yr Author comment_5694278 US Title vs. WWE World Title - John Cena vs. Seth Rollins - I love Cena working in and out of the headlock since he is the heel in the building. He did the same with Punk. - Cena stole Bayley’s finisher!!!! - Rollins is a straight babyface in this match and his offense is completely babyface… running flip pin, top rope double knee dive, over the ropes plancha. - Rollins has a horrible Slingblade - Shit, Rollins stole Balor’s foot stomp… conspiracy! - That corner powerbomb started off awkward but Rollins recovered nicely - I loved Rollins countering the body press into his own AA - This was insane how they made Rollins out to be a face. He hits the AA. He reverses a figure four. Cena is trolling this crowd hard!!! - Rollins had me until the superplex roll through. - OK, the finish was hokey as fuck but I enjoyed the match a lot because Seth Rollins (in white no less) is a really great babyface.
August 24, 201510 yr comment_5694279 Jon Stewart as the Anonymous Raw General Manager! Make it happen, Vince!
August 24, 201510 yr comment_5694280 I am not sure what was worse. That the match was basically an exact replica of the Owens match last month in terms of moves moves moves or the goofy finish that does nothing but make Rollins look even weaker Cool they are showing a MSG house show on the Network
August 24, 201510 yr comment_5694282 Crowd looooooved Rollins. I'm not listening to the announcers, but from the audience response you would think he was the second coming of Savage or Steamboat. Really odd face-heel dynamic, but up until the Stewart interference the match was a ton of fun. I don't get the booking, but the action stole the show. "Thank you Stewart" chants from the fans during the interlude post-match.
August 24, 201510 yr comment_5694283 It's insane how much more the crowd reacts to a Cena match than anything else on any show.
August 24, 201510 yr comment_5694284 I love how Byron Saxton's kayfabe outrage at the finish is also a shoot.
August 24, 201510 yr Author comment_5694285 I have the sinking feeling Owens is banged up and that may be the reason there was no pre-match show. There is plenty of time left and I expect it to still go on but it might be a 8-10 minute match instead of a 15-20 minute match.
August 24, 201510 yr comment_5694286 I swear I read someone predict that exact same finish weeks ago. Was it here? that was me!! Exactly as I predicted!! Sorry guys! I still think Stewart would make a great heel manager
August 24, 201510 yr comment_5694287 Don't like it when they book an entire division into one match, lazy booking. They did it at WM too.
